By the end of August, the knife wound on his back had gradually improved, and in addition to the itchy wound, he was able to easily cope with walking and eating.

Located in a relatively secluded corner of the western part of Chengdu, Huaxia Jun called it a "health center" that, according to Aunt Gu, could be "adjusted" in the future. Perhaps because of the location, there are not many wounded and sick people who come here every day, and when it is convenient to move, Qu Longjun also quietly took a few looks.

The small courtyard where she lives is full of female patients, and occasionally patients come to rest and take medicine in the two rooms next door, but they are not as seriously injured as her. Some local residents are also not accustomed to leaving their women in such strange places to recuperate, so they often take medicine and go back.

Qu Longjun no longer has such concerns.

During the month he stayed here, Qu Longjun was at first dazed and frightened, and then his heart gradually became quieter. Although she didn't know what Hua Xia Jun wanted to do with her in the end, after a month, she could already feel that the people in the health center had no ill will towards her.

Most of the time, she only came into contact with two people here.

Aunt Gu, who manages the health center, is chubby and looks kind, but from the words, Qu Longjun can tell that she is calm and not simple, and in some clues of speech, Qu Longjun can even hear that she used to be a woman who used to be a woman who went to the battlefield with a knife, such characters, Qu Longjun had only heard of it in the past in the drama.

In addition to Aunt Gu, who takes care of her more because she is also a woman, there is also the little doctor Long Aotian whose face looks cold at any time. Although this little doctor with strong martial arts is like a murderer, and he is a little unsmiling on weekdays, but after getting along for a long time, let go of the initial fear, and can feel the kindness of the other party, at least soon after, she has understood, after the fight in the early morning of July 21, it was this little doctor who rescued her, and then seemed to have some involvement, so he came to deliver food to her every day, and cared about whether her physical condition had improved.

The book "Women Also Hold Up Half the Sky" seems to have been given by him, and later several books appeared to teach people how to weave and make money by running a small business.

She has been cultivated as a thin horse since she was a child, and she has also had apprehensive speculations in private, such as whether the two are of the same age, whether this little killing god has taken a fancy to herself - although he is very cold and terrifying, but he is actually very good-looking, but I don't know if he will be beaten......

As for the other possibility, Huaxia Jun was prepared to force her to be a spy elsewhere after she recovered from her injuries. If this is the case, it can also explain why the little doctor comes to inquire about her injuries every day.

These two thoughts were pressed in the bottom of my heart, and I couldn't be sure for a while, but I only thought about them occasionally, and I was uneasy.

On August 24, the last consultation was conducted, and in the last conversation, I talked about the other party's brother getting married.

After leaving the room, the little doctor who was walking in the courtyard looked back at the door a few times, and it was difficult for him to make a specific analysis of some hazy emotions at his age. The girl in the room naturally didn't notice this scene, and for her, it was just a simple afternoon.

On August 25, the little doctor did not come.

On the twenty-sixth day, Aunt Gu took a small package to the room.

"Here's something to pass on to you."

Aunt Gu said, and then took out some silver tickets and land deeds from the package, and some Qu Longjun in the middle still recognized that this was Wen Shoubin's thing. Her deed was sandwiched in these documents, and Aunt Gu took it out and tore it up.

"That stepfather of yours, Wen Shoubin, entered Chengdu City and wanted to plot against him, which is not right. However, the investigation was carried out here, and he did not do anything bad after all...... I didn't do it, and then I died. He brought some things from Chengdu, which were originally intended to be confiscated, but Xiaolong complained to you, although he died, you are still his daughter in name, and these belongings should be inherited by you...... It took a lot of time to appeal, Xiaolong has been running around these days, well, this is all for you. ”

Although Wen Shoubin is not a big wealthy family or a wealthy man in the outside world, he has dealt with rich families and sold women for many years, and the accumulated belongings are also considerable, not to mention the title deed in the package, but the gold and silver bills worth hundreds of taels are considered to be the wealth of half a lifetime for ordinary people. Qu Longjun's brain buzzed, and he stretched out his hand, but it was really incomprehensible to this matter.

"This is ......" Qu Longjun stretched out his hand, "Doctor Long gave it to me?" ”

"It's your stepfather's legacy." Aunt Gu said.

"But ......"

Her mind was a mess and she didn't understand why. She was originally prepared for many people to covet him, and the best result was that the little doctor of the Long family fell in love with her, and the worse result was naturally to let her be a spy, and there were all kinds of worse results that she didn't think about carefully. But why did you give her all these things?

She thought for a moment in confusion, then looked up and said, "...... What about Dr. Xiaolong, why didn't he come to me, I ...... I want to thank him......"

"Little Dragon." Aunt Gu showed a sigh, "He left yesterday, didn't he say goodbye to you the afternoon before yesterday?" ”

“…… He said his brother was going to get married. ”

"Well, it's a matter of getting married, he rushed back yesterday, and after getting married, he still has to go to the school to study, after all, he is not very old, and his family does not allow him to run around. So this thing is also entrusted to me to hand it over, and I shouldn't be in Chengdu for a while. ”

"Reading......" Qu Longjun repeated, and after a while, "but...... Why? ”

"What, why?"

"You ...... Huaxia Military ...... What the hell do you want to do with me, I'm ...... after all Follow Wen Shoubin to make trouble, you ...... This is ......."

Her words were chaotic, and tears fell unconsciously, and in the past month, these words were held in her heart, and she could only speak at this time. Aunt Gu sat down beside her and patted her palm.

"You haven't done anything bad, at such a young age, who can help yourself, it's a good thing now, you're free in the future, don't cry."

"Then I'm going to leave later......"

"Let's go...... You can arrange where you want to go. Aunt Gu smiled, "But your injuries are not all healed, you can think about the future, whether you stay in Chengdu or go to other places, you have to make your own decisions, and no one will restrain you like Wen Shoubin......"

Qu Longjun sat there, and tears kept falling. Aunt Gu comforted her for a while before leaving the room.

It's like a strange sea surging from all directions.

For the sentence "free" in Aunt Gu's mouth, she only felt unfamiliar, and she couldn't grasp the weight of the lightness. Although she was only sixteen years old, she has been living under the domination of others since she can remember, at first she had a father and mother, and after the death of her parents, she was Wen Shoubin, and in the past trajectory, if one day she was sold, the one who dominated her life would also become the lover who bought her, and she might still be dependent on her heirs to live further away - everyone lives like this, in fact, there is nothing wrong with it.

When Wen Shoubin died, he was scared at first, but then, it was nothing more than falling into the hands of the Black Flag Army. In life, when you understand that there is not much room for resistance, even fear will fade, whether the people of Huaxia Army have taken a fancy to her, want to do something to her, or want to use her to do something, she can clearly understand, in fact, most of them are difficult to resist.

However...... Free?

She remembered Dr. Xiaolong, who had a cold face, who had saved her and healed her injuries in the early hours of July 21...... For a month, they didn't even say a few words, and now he ...... It's gone......

…… Why?

There were a few books on the cupboard in the ward, as well as the bag of notes and money, and some invisible things added to her body, and I don't know when they had left. She felt a little incomprehensible about this world.

She remembered her dead father and mother.

Sometimes I also think of some memories of July 21, and I think of what Dr. Long said.

“…… Little puppy, you look like a dead fish......"

Did we know each other before?

Why am I a pity?

We haven't seen it, have we?

Why are you scolding me......

These doubts are hidden in my heart, layer by layer. And more strange emotions also came up in her heart, she touched the bed, touched the table, sometimes walked out of the room, touched the door frame, all this strange and sensitive, thinking of the past and the future, also felt very strange......

I cried in my room that night, but I didn't know how many times, and I gradually fell asleep when it was dawn. After another two days, Aunt Gu only called her during dinner, and the little doctor never came, she remembered what Aunt Gu said, probably never to see her again.

On the 29th of August, perhaps because she had been bored in the yard for too long, Aunt Gu took her out shopping, and Qu Longjun also agreed.

Since coming to Chengdu, Qu Longjun has been locked in that small courtyard, and the number of times he has gone out is only a handful. This side has not experienced too much war, the Huaxia army once again defeated the menacing Jurchen invaders, in July a large number of outsiders entered, saying that they wanted to give the Huaxia army a dismount, but in the end the Huaxia army was well organized, and it was all in front of everyone.

In August, the trial and execution of the Jurchen captives at the military parade made countless onlookers enthusiastic, and then the Huaxia Army held its first congress, announcing the establishment of the Huaxia People's Government, and the martial arts competition in the city also began to enter the climax...... By the end of August, this energetic atmosphere was still continuing, which was a scene that Qu Longjun had never seen in the outside world.

But at the moment, she didn't have much of the mood to feel everything at the moment.

"Aunt Gu." When walking through a certain street, Qu Longjun asked her, "Doctor Xiaolong...... In fact, he is the son of a prominent family in the Chinese army, right? ”

Aunt Gu looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong?" Got a liking for the little dragon? ”

Qu Longjun smiled embarrassedly: "No, it's just that if you think about it in the past two days, he can do so many things, in the Huaxia Army, he must be more than a small military doctor." ”

In the past days, I thought about it and went against the grain, so I didn't delve into many details. In the past two days, my thinking has been active, and when I look back, I can find all kinds of unusual, no matter how I say it, I am also a bad guy who followed Wen Shoubin to make trouble, he is a small military doctor, how can he say that he will not be held accountable, and those land deed silver tickets seem simple, and they add up to a huge wealth, even if the Huaxia Army is reasonable, it will not be so happy to let his "righteous daughter" inherit the inheritance.

I saw Aunt Gu smiling: "His family really has to be kept secret." ”

"Then I won't ask." Qu Longjun smiled and nodded.

It's August, and it's September.

Qu Longjun began to learn to help in the health center.

After the initial confusion in her heart passed, more concrete things came to her eyes.

She occasionally thought of her dead father.

His father died at the hands of Huaxia Army.

Although in the past time, she has been arranged by Wen Shoubin to move forward, and after falling into the hands of Huaxia Army, she is just a weak girl, and she doesn't have to think too much about her father, but at this moment, her father's death has to be faced by herself.

Aunt Gu in the health center is very good to her, and she will teach her a lot of things she doesn't understand, and she has probably accepted the concept that Huaxia Jun is not a bad person, and even wants to stay in Chengdu, a peaceful place, for a long time. But every time I think about this matter seriously, my father's death comes to life in a more obvious form.

I have been confused for a long time.

She also occasionally reads books, reading the story in the book "Women Can Hold Up Half the Sky", and reading the livelihood skills in several other books. It's hard to grasp all this in the short term. As she read these books, she remembered the little doctor with a cold face, why did he leave these books, and what did he want to say? Why did he get back Wen Shoubin's things and the title deeds on the Jiangnan side?

She remembered the little doctor's family background again, he was the son of a big family in the Huaxia Army, right?

…… Maybe not again.

In this way, the time of September gradually passed, and when October came, Qu Longjun mustered up the courage to say goodbye to Aunt Gu, and then confessed his heart - if he was still the skinny horse he was at the beginning, and he was dominated by others, he would live wherever he was thrown, but now he is no longer dominated by others, so he can't continue to stay here with a shame, after all, his father died in Xiaocanghe back then, although he was unbearable, driven by the Jurchens, but in any case, he was also his father.

After listening to these things, Aunt Gu persuaded her several times, but when she found that she couldn't be convinced, she finally just suggested how long Qu Longjun would take. Now that the Jurchens have retired, there will be no troops in various places for a while, but it is by no means peaceful outside the Sword Gate, and she is a woman, so she should learn more things before leaving.

Qu Longjun stayed in Chengdu for half a month, and on October 16, he cried with Aunt Gu and prepared to leave with the arranged caravan. Aunt Gu finally scolded her with a sad face: "You stupid woman, in the future, our Huaxia Army will fight outside, don't you want to run away again, and you want to be a fool who doesn't eat Zhou Su." ”

Qu Longjun took out the book "Women Also Hold Up Half the Sky" from his arms: "I stay now, and I have received your charity from beginning to end, if one day I can survive on my own outside, and I can really hold up half the sky, then it will all depend on my own skills, and my father may be able to forgive me." ”

Aunt Gu scolded her a few more words, and then made an agreement with her that she would definitely come back and see it again in the future.

At this moment, the wind outside Chengdu is rolling up the dust of the long journey, and the chubby Aunt Gu doesn't know why, this seemingly weak and obedient girl has just gotten rid of her slavery, and she shows such stubbornness. But if you think about it, such stubbornness is also slightly similar to the little boy who once dressed up as "Long Aotian".

Relying on her past skills, she dressed up as simple and somewhat ugly, and then set off with the caravan that had traveled far away. She can write and calculate, and she has made an agreement with the caravan keeper that she can help them with some small work on the way. There may also be a greeting from Aunt Gu behind her back, but in any case, when she leaves the range of the Huaxia Army, she will be able to have a little bit of skill.

The carriage gurgled and drove towards the distant mountains in the morning sun. Qu Longjun stood on the carriage full of goods and waved to the back, and gradually, Aunt Gu, who was standing outside the city gate, finally couldn't see it, she sat down on the wheel.

The convoy went all the way.

Little......

At some point, it seemed that a vulgar voice sounded in my ears. She turned around, and far away, Chengdu City had turned into a black line in her field of vision. Her tears fell suddenly, and after a long time, she turned around again, and the unknown road in front of her vision, the world outside was savage and ferocious, and she was very afraid, very afraid.

She rubbed her eyes.

"You're the little......"

A slightly choked sound was scattered in the wind.

……

At the end of October, Aunt Gu went to Zhang Village and told Ning Ji, who was still in school, about Qu Longjun, who was still in school, Ning Ji was stunned at first, and then jumped up from her seat: "Why don't you stop her!" Why don't you stop her! She's going to die out now! She's going to die outside—"

This world is a chaotic time, how can such a delicate girl live when she goes out? This point can be clearly thought of even here in Ning Ji.

……

At the same time, the northern land of the wind and snow called, and the cold Shangjing City. A power game is beginning to come to fruition.
