Chapter 17: The Hidden Star (9)

Jing Yi watched as Doctor Zuo picked up the scissors and cut the bandage neatly, revealing the wound, and in the center was a bloody hole the size of a copper coin, bubbling with blood...... Jing Yi watched the military doctor inspect, her brows furrowed tightly, and asked, "Is the wound infected?" He"

"A little. If it weren't for ......" Doctor Zuo wanted to say something, he raised his eyes and saw Tao Xiang's stern eyes, and kept silent.

Jing Yi saw that he was using a small lancet to deal with Tao Xiang's wound directly, and couldn't help but interject and ask, "Don't you take anesthetic?" "Just like that, I cut off the carrion, pus and blood, but it hurts very much. She looked at Tao Xiang, and he said, "I don't let you use it." ”

Jing Yi was stunned. I saw Doctor Zuo use his hand to scrape the inflamed and rotten flesh around the wound accurately and quickly with a knife until fresh blood flowed out...... Jingyi didn't help, just watched Doctor Zuo deal with the wound and apply medicine as quickly as possible.

Tao Xiang sat with his arms propped up on his knees, holding a posture without moving, but fine beads of sweat gradually oozed from his forehead. Beads of sweat spread and soaked through the hair. Stiff strands of hair shimmered.

Jingyi pulled out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead and neck...... The handkerchief quickly became soaked. She took gauze from Dr. Zuo's medicine box again. She occasionally glanced at Dr. Zuo, a skilled doctor who was very ruthless and accurate, with every knife and every blow clean. Although he was sweating on his forehead, he still had to tell a few jokes to distract Tao Xiang.

"Seven less, be careful. The wound is a little inflamed, and if it is torn again, it will heal more slowly. Dr. Zuo packed up his instruments. He was also sweating because of his nervousness.

Tao Xiang responded, but he didn't seem to take it to heart.

"Hard." He let Zuo Ming go out, and when he was about to put on his shirt, he immediately frowned when he saw the blood stains on his sleeves.

Ma Xingjian knew that he had always been clean, so he hurriedly asked the orderlies to get another set of clean military uniforms, entered the door and handed it to Jing Yi, and then withdrew.

Jingyi took the military uniform, and for a while she didn't know what to do.

Tao Xiang was half-naked and naked, with only gauze wrapped around his left shoulder. He was standing there waiting for Jing Yi to give him his military uniform. When he saw that her face was flushed, and his eyes were almost unsightly where to look, he came over and took the top shirt from her hand and shook it away.

He had just changed the medicine, and his wound was so painful that he could barely lift his arm.

Jingyi had no choice but to put down what he was holding and come over to help him put it on.

Tao Xiang endured it, and finally gave up and asked her to help.

"Can't you take a few days off?" She tugged at her sleeve and asked him to lift his arm. Hold it carefully. She had to cross her feet to adjust to the height of his arms. Tao Xiang just persisted for a while, and another layer of fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead. It obviously hurts.

He sat down so she could reach his arm.

Jingyi saw the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead, and pulled a handkerchief to wipe his sweat for him.

A good shirt, just on the body, most of it was attached to the body, soaked with sweat.

When Jing Yi buttoned him, she caught a glimpse of other scars on his chest...... She quickly fastened the buttons. My face is getting hotter and hotter, and I can't wait to tie all these little buttons in the blink of an eye...... She never noticed that he had a scar on his body.

Tao Xiang waited patiently, waited for her to fasten the last button, turned her back, tucked the hem of her shirt into her pants, and said, "A small injury is not in the way." And there is no time. ”

As if to prove that he was really busy, someone knocked on the door outside to urge. Tao Xiang was about to speak, but Jing Yi reached out and pressed it on his chest and said, "It's not bad this morning." ”

As she spoke, she turned around and went out, and when she opened the door, she saw Cen Gaoying standing in front of the door in a hurry.

"Staff Officer Cen, can you adjust Qi Shao's schedule in the morning, squeeze out a little time for him, and let him go home for breakfast, okay?" Jingyi said softly, but as if she couldn't refute it, she turned to Ma Xingjian, "Adjutant Ma, let people prepare the car, Qishao wants to go home." ”

Ma Xingjian and Cen Gaoying were both momentarily stunned, and they unconsciously looked at Tao Xiang in the house. Seeing that Tao Xiang turned his face slightly, the two of them understood and hurriedly went down.

Jingyi looked at Tao Xiang and said, "Grandma is very worried about you." Go back and have breakfast with her, and then come back to your business. ”

"Don't tell her about my injuries." Tao Xiang put the holster on his back, but Jingyi came over and helped him tie it tightly.

"No, it won't." Jingyi straightened his coat. Her soft hand brushed his chest like a feather, "I'm going to be fine...... But you can't always do that. The battle is endless, and the work is endless......"

As she spoke, her hand stopped, resting on his waist. The hard shell of the holster was originally turned into skin, and it was polished over time.

He watched as she lowered her eyes, her long, curly eyelashes trembling. The sharp pain in his shoulder seemed to have lessened a lot, and he raised his hand and pressed it down, and at that moment, he heard her say, "After these two years, it should be better...... You said it for two years. ”

Her eyes were leveled ahead.

On his chest, he took a fourth button. As his chest rose and fell, the buttons moved slightly in front of her eyes...... It was as if she could see his beating heart.

"You mean what you say." She said with a hoarse throat.

"Count." Tao Xiang replied.

Her fingertips clasped the holster, her head almost touching his chest.

The rouge mole on her forehead was so close to him...... He pushed her away.

He stepped out first, with the same decisiveness as usual.

"Tao ...... You wait! Jingyi was pushed away by him, but suddenly remembered an important matter. Tao Xiang was about to open the door when he heard her shout, stopped, and turned around. Jingyi looked at the crystal eyes in the shadow of his hat brim, opened her mouth, and before she could make a sound, she saw the corner of his mouth pull, and she stopped.

He has already promised her two years, so his business has nothing to do with her.

She is just as Lu Qi mercilessly pointed out, for Tao Xiang, she, Mrs. Tao, is actually just a weight...... She still asked: "Lu Rong......"

She knew that Tao Xiang spoke to Lu Qi like that, mostly to make him mess up. But if she doesn't get a sentence from Tao Xiang's mouth, she is not steady.

Tao Xiang opened the door, looked at her, and said coldly, "Do you think I will keep them?" ”

"Makiyuki!" Jingyi catches up.

Tao Xiang looked at her, bent his arm, and asked her to pull her up.

"That's right, it's been so long, it's time to change this problem." He smiled and leaned closer to her ear, "Don't forget, these two years, have a good ...... And I respect each other like guests. ”

Her cold earlobes burned with his scorching breath, and they burned with a single breath.

She looked at his side face and said, "Okay." ”

He used to have very white skin, but after going out for a long time, he got a little tanned. Sweat was pouring down his cheeks, making him look a little gray.

He closed his eyes in silence, more like a statue standing in solemnity.

By the time he got home, his expression had returned to normal, and the pain of the wound had eased a little.

Jing Yi rummaged through the handbag, trying to find Fang Qing's handkerchief for him, his hand touched the gun, paused, and when he raised his eyes to look at him, he had already entered the door - the guards saluted, the servants asked for peace, and the seventh master came back one after another, one after another...... She was a little stunned, and her heart was panicked all night, but at this time, it slowly fell back into her mouth.

She watched Tao Xiang walk smoothly into the inner courtyard, and found that she did not follow, he walked slowly, just glanced back at her, and continued on his path......

"The seventh brother is back. Grandma is waiting for you. Father and mother are also there. Fu Lizhen had just come out of the courtyard door of Tao Shengchuan and his wife's residence, and when she saw Tao Xiang, she stood down and smiled.

"Sister-in-law early." Tao Xiang smiled.

Fu Lizhen immediately looked behind him, and sure enough, she saw Jingyi coming. She looked at Jingyi from a distance, and when she heard Tao Xiao talking to her, she hurriedly turned her face back and asked, "What?" ”

Tao Xiang saw that she was in a trance, and seemed to look at Jingyi in a daze, and asked, "I mean, how is the eldest brother doing during this time?" I may not have had time to go over and see him. Greet him for me. ”

"It's fine." Fu Shi hurriedly replied, still looking at Jingyi, "I'll just talk about it for you." The seventh brother is busy, and he can't stay when he goes home. He knows it all. ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law works hard. Tao Xiang said, Jingyi approached, "During this time outside, I often think about the food at home." ”

Fu smiled and said, "I want to eat the food at home, and when you return victorious, let the kitchen change for you to eat." When the time comes, I'm afraid that you will get tired of it again and run out all day long. Do you still remember the first time you went abroad and came back, and you had to eat all the dishes in the three auspicious, four happy and seven major restaurants? ”

Tao Xiang smiled when he heard this, and said, "This is not a good thing for me to do alone. ”

"Yes, both the reins and the second brother have a share. Thinking about it this way, Mizhen is also a naughty person, and she will make trouble with you. Fu Lizhen said, watching Tao Xiang smile and leave. In a blink of an eye, he saw that Jingyi was still in front of him and looked at her.

"Sister-in-law early." Jingyi said with a smile.

"I heard about last night. It's really dangerous, ...... the seventh sister in the future" Fu Lizhen looked at the red and swollen bag at the corner of Jingyi's forehead, choked for a while, and her eyes were a little red. "It's better to be careful when you get in and out."

Jingyi didn't care, touched the corner of her red and swollen forehead, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be like this, isn't there nothing wrong?" Besides, I was in a hurry. I should also listen to my sister-in-law and take a few more people out, or it won't be so dangerous. Fortunately, nothing happened, and I was responsible for everything. It's better for the sister-in-law to be careful. ”

Fu raised his hand and covered the tip of his nose, "Seventh Sister can't say that." Who would have thought? ”

As she spoke, Jingyi nodded and smiled.

Jingyi was about to go to the inner courtyard, stood down again, and looked at Fu Lizhen again.

"Seventh Sister is still in trouble?" Fu Lizhen saw Jing Yi looking at herself, quite different from the past.

Jing Yi smiled before saying, "Sister-in-law only cares about me." Even if the sister-in-law goes out in the future, she still has to pay more attention. As she spoke, she bowed slightly, turned around and followed Tao Xiao's footsteps to the upper roomβ€”far away, she heard the sound of conversation in the upper room. Xu is last night's incident was too thrilling, in the past, Tao Xiang was always in a joyful atmosphere at his grandmother's place, but today there is not. She didn't care about Fu Lizhen anymore, and opened the curtain herself to enter the door - she smiled when she entered the door.

Er Yi ran over and grabbed her arm and pulled her over to show her grandmother.

"Seventh sister-in-law," Er Yi looked at the wound on her forehead with tears in her eyes, "Seventh brother also said that when he calms down the war, he will go back to Beiping with you to watch the ceremony." Isn't the wedding of the ninth brother of the Cheng family about to be held? How can you go back like this? ”

Jing Yi raised her hand and touched her bulging forehead, which hurt hotly.

Tao Xiang looked at her, she smiled slightly, and said, "It should be good then." ”

Jingyi said, looking at Tao Xiang.

She's going to forget about the wedding...... He would still attend Shen's wedding with her, and stand with her, no matter what.

She smiled at him.

Tao Xiang also smiled.

Jing Yi thought, but I don't know how many people will be able to see it, there is a cold and hard heart hidden under their smiling faces facing each other.

61

61

Time flies, the years change, in the spring of the nineteenth year of the 61st year of the Republic of China, before the pear blossoms bloom, Cheng Jingyi, the seventh young grandmother of the Tao family, went to Shichuan.

Originally, it would have been an unusually long two years in her opinion, but it passed like a white horse, almost in the blink of an eye.

This time, she was accompanied to Shichuan by Ren Xiufang, the family doctor of the Tao family. Dr. Ren accompanied him to Shichuan because Tao Yinze, the eldest aunt of the Tao family, was bored at home, and had already been accompanied by his two younger sisters to live in the villa in the town. Dr. Ren was hired by the Tao family to give Tao Yinze regular check-ups. After suffering a stroke two years ago, he still can't move freely.

Cheng Jingyi went to Shichuan early, also because of this aunt and grandmother who was described by Mrs. Tao as "sick and arrogant". Tao Yinze hadn't seen Jingyi for many days, and sure enough, he came up with various reasons to let Jingyi go to Shichuan Town early. And Jingyi's study happened to come to an end, and it was okay to stay at home, I asked Mrs. Tao, and I also said hello to Tao Xiang, and they had no objections, and she left.

Mrs. Tao didn't really approve of Jingyi going over so early, but because the old lady and her aunt had something to say, she had to comply. Besides, from the perspective of Tao Xiang and his wife, she didn't want Jingyi to set off in a month as soon as she went to Shichuan. In this way, Tao Xiang has even more reason not to go home.

In the past two years, Tao Xiang has incorporated the remnants of the Ma family, cleared out the bandits in the jurisdiction, and after completing these two major events, the jurisdiction is stable, and he has a lot of time and energy to do some things. He was so focused on his business that he rarely went home.

It is precisely because the Seventh Young Master is so busy that the Seventh Young Grandmother's life is very clean.
