"Ahh Lin Fan, who had a splitting headache, tried his best to open his eyes, but it was just this simple action, and the severe pain that came from all over his body made him can't help but exhale in pain, and he almost wanted to fall asleep again.

This pervasive pain can only be fought by gritting your teeth, and there is nothing else to do.

After surviving the initial ordeal, Lin Fan finally had the strength to see where he was. You have to know that his last memory is still preserved before he fainted on the battlefield, who knows where this is and whose hands he fell into?

Even he didn't know if he was captured by the Manzhen army, the battlefield was chaotic, although Manzhen had already withdrawn when he was still sober, but he didn't dare to guarantee that the Manzhen cavalry would kill a horse gun and capture him back. All this is not impossible, so he did not dare to let go of his doubts.

Once his eyes had adjusted to the light and his eyesight had regained somewhat, he began to observe his surroundings.

The first thing that caught his eye was the gauze tent above his head, which made him stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he had entered the city at this time, and this should be somewhere in the capital.

Although I don't know how long I slept, judging from the injuries on my body, it shouldn't have been long. The Manzhen army should still be on the way to withdraw at this time, and if he is captured, where will he get the bed and gauze tent for him.

This made him breathe a sigh of relief, it was good that it didn't fall into the hands of Manzhen, otherwise he would have to die in addition to surrendering.

"The young master is awake, go and invite the old lady!" There was a girl's voice chirping, as if she was cheering for Lin Fan's awakening, which was very pleasant.

"They call me Young Master?" Lin Fan thought to himself that he had already guessed a little about the place he was, and there was only one place in the capital where someone would call him like this.

Sure enough, as soon as the girl's voice fell, two figures broke in, it was Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang, who followed their parents into Beijing. According to the seniority of the clan, Lin Fan still has to call them clan brothers.

"Young patriarch, how are you, are you feeling better?" The two asked with concern.

Lin Fan originally wanted to sit up and talk back to the two, but he struggled a few times and couldn't get up, so he had to give up helplessly: "I'm much better, thank you two brothers for your concern!" ”

Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang held down Lin Fan and asked him not to move. Lin Shao said: "Young Patriarch, you are injured, it is better to rest well, so as not to open the wound!" ”

"It's all a family, just call me Lin Fan as my brother, you don't need to call me the young patriarch, it seems too angry!" Since he hadn't recovered yet, Lin Fan no longer tried in vain.

Lin Shao did not agree to Lin Fan's request: "That's not good, the Lin clan has strict rules, you are the young patriarch of our Lin clan, if we mess up the rules, when we return to Jiangzhou, grandpa and the clan elders will have to scold us to death!" ”

"Brother Shao is right!" Lin Qingyang also nodded in agreement.

These clan rules, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, are extremely binding on the Lin clan, and for the children of the Lin clan, the clan rules are more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people than the laws of the dynasty in many cases.

Therefore, since they did not agree, Lin Fan could not force it, after all, he was the young patriarch of the Lin clan, and if he took the lead in breaking the clan rules, it would be too much to say.

"This is my father's mansion in the capital, right? Now that I'm back in the house, how are my father and mother doing? Lin Fan asked a little eagerly.

Lin Shao replied: "Young patriarch, rest assured, the patriarch has gone to the court, it is estimated that he will be home at this hour, as soon as you wake up, I will already send someone to guard the intersection, as long as I see the family's carriage coming back, I will immediately go up to report." ”

"As for Madame, the young patriarch has been sleeping for a few days, and Madame has been staying here every inch. Last night, the lady kept watch all night, and in the early days, she couldn't hold on, so she went back to rest with the help of the maid. I have just sent someone to wait at Madame's door, and as soon as Madame wakes up, I will tell her the good news. ”

Lin Fan thanked: "After being busy, there is Brother Lao!" ”

Lin Ruxian had just returned from discussing the court, and before he entered the door, he heard the news that the next person had returned to Lin Fan and woke up. So I didn't even have time to change my official uniform, so I hurried over.

"Patriarch, young patriarch, you talk, let's go out first!" When father and son reunite, naturally there is a lot to say. Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang are not blind people, they proposed to leave at the right time, so as not to disturb the two.

"Well, the last paragraph

Time is hard for you, you go down and rest first! Lin Ruxian said to the two.

"Two brothers, go slowly!" Lin Fan also said goodbye to the two.

"Yes!" Lin Shao and Lin Qingyang didn't say anything else, gave a salute to the father and son, and then withdrew.

"Fan'er, are your injuries better, does it matter?" After the two left, Lin Ruxian no longer suppressed himself. He sat at the head of the bed, grabbed Lin Fan's hand and said.

Hearing the worry and concern in his father's words, Lin Fan blamed himself in his heart.

In Lin Fan's impression, his father has always been an introverted person, and it is rare to express his feelings directly like this, and it is even rarer to lose his temper like today.

Lin Fan chuckled softly with chapped lips: "Father, I'm much better, it's okay!" ”

Seeing the scarlet official robe his father was wearing, he joked: "This three-grade official robe, worn on my father, really looks so good!" ”

Lin Ruxian resisted the urge to tap his son's head with his fingers, and said angrily: "You kid, you don't have a proper shape when you are young." Now that they're all hurt like this, they still have the heart to joke! ”

Only in front of his parents, Lin Fan, who didn't have so many restraints, grinned and chuckled: "What my father taught me is that children don't dare!" ”

Lin Ruxian had just fed Lin Fan some tea and moistened his lips and throat, when he heard Gu's voice outside.

"Fan'er, Fan'er... You're awake! ”

Gu rushed in crying, she pushed Lin Ruxian aside, hugged Lin Fan and cried loudly.

In the past few days that Lin Fan was in a coma, she couldn't even sleep well, and was awakened by nightmares several times.

This time, not long after falling asleep, he woke up because he was worried about Lin Fan. It's just that she didn't expect to get the news that Lin Fan woke up as soon as she woke up, and she couldn't even take care of her makeup under the surprise, and she didn't have time to change her clothes, so she hurriedly ran over.

Tears fell on Lin Fan, and they also poured into his heart, making him even more guilty.

He reluctantly smiled and said, "Mother, I'm fine, you don't have to worry!" ”

Lin Ruxian saw that Gu's movement was too big, and hurriedly persuaded softly: "Madame, be lighter, Fan'er's wounds are not healed yet, you must not hurt Fan'er!" ”

Gu Shi hurriedly let go of Lin Fan and asked anxiously, "Fan'er, how are you, did I hurt you?" ”

"Mother, rest assured, I'm much better. Especially after seeing my mother, I didn't feel any pain at all! Lin Fan jokingly comforted her.

Mother and son were connected, and with Lin Fan's frowning brows and the sweat oozing from his forehead, the Gu family knew that Lin Fan was lying.

She couldn't hold back her tears again: "There are so many wounds on your body, how can you not hurt!" ”

"You don't know, when your father brought you back, you were covered in blood, but it scared me!"

"It's all your father's fault, it's okay for you to be an official, you said that if you have three long and two short, you say how you let your mother live! If something really happens to you, your mother won't be able to live! ”

"Madam, what are you talking about at this time?" Lin Ruxian reminded on the side.

"I don't care, the reason why Fan'er is like this today is not because I blame you!" The Gu family didn't give Lin Ruxian face at all, but looking at the appearance of the people in the house turning a blind eye to them, he thought that he had long been used to it.

"Fan'er, you just listen to your mother's advice, and when you are healed, you will resign and go home with your mother. If your father wants to do it, let him do it, and my mother just hopes that you will be well, and the family is safer than anything else! Woo... Whining...! In the end, Gu covered his face with a handkerchief and cried again.

Lin Fan saw that his mother's makeup was scattered and her face was haggard, as if her body was a little thinner than when she was at home, and knew that she must have been frightened for the past few days.

If she hadn't been so scared in her heart, she wouldn't have even said such a thing as letting Lin Fan resign.

Unwilling to disobey his mother's wishes, Lin Fan had no choice but to follow Gu's words and say: "Mother, don't be sad, when I get better, everything will be up to my mother!" ”

"Really, you don't lie to your mother!" Gu Shi said happily.

"Of course it's true, since I was a child, when did I ever lie to your mother?" Lin Fan nodded lightly.

"That's good, that's good!" Gu was like a stone in his heart that had finally fallen to the ground

, patted his chest and said in relief.

"Mother, I'm hungry!" After appeasing the Gu family, Lin Fan whispered.

"It's good to be hungry, it's good to be hungry, and knowing that you're hungry means that your body is recovering. Don't worry, I'll let the people prepare something for you! Not only persuaded his son, but his son's health was also improving, which made Gu's eyebrows finally a little happy.

"I want to eat lotus seed porridge made by my mother, I haven't eaten it in two years!" Lin Fan was a little coquettish.

"Good, good! You rest first, and my mother will do it for you! Lin Fan just wants the stars in the sky, but I'm afraid that the Gu family can find a way to pick them off for him at this time, let alone just a bowl of lotus seed porridge.

She hurriedly agreed, let Lin Fan lie down well, and then hurriedly took her subordinates to the kitchen to work.

Before leaving, he didn't want to threaten Lin Ruxian: "You are watching Fan'er here, if he is tired, you see how I will clean you up when I come back!" ”

"Okay, madam, don't worry!" It was about his son, and Lin Ruxian knew that there was no room for negotiation with his wife about this matter, so he could only agree to it.

Waiting for Gu to go away, Lin Ruxian touched his nose and sat at the head of Lin Fan's bed again, he said with a little embarrassment: "Your mother is just worried about you, as for the resignation, you don't have to take it to heart." When you heal your wounds, your mother won't force you! ”

"Don't worry, father, I know!" Lin Fan responded.

Since Lin Fan fell into a coma, he didn't know anything about the rest of the matter, and now that his mother had been taken away, Lin Fan asked his father to send all his subordinates away, and then he began to ask about some serious things.

He asked Lin Ruxian, "Father, how long have I been in a coma?" ”

"You've slept for three whole days since the end of the war!" Lin Ruxian replied.

"Maybe the wound was soaked in water, and you had a fever on the day you came back. The high fever did not go away overnight, and the imperial doctors sent by His Majesty were helpless. ”

"The doctor even said that if your fever doesn't go away the next day, let the family prepare for you, which will frighten your mother and me at that time!"

"But the miraculous thing is that by dawn the next day, your fever miraculously subsided, which made the imperial doctor call it incredible, and feel that your life is really big!"

Lin Ruxian pretended to be relaxed, but how could Lin Fan not know the danger contained in it and his parents' worries about him.

"Tired father and mother are unfilial!" Two lines of hot tears flowed down the corners of Lin Fan's eyes.

"You and I, father and son, what are you talking about?" Lin Ruxian wiped away Lin Fan's tears with a silk handkerchief, but his eyes also flashed with crystalline light.

Lin Fan adjusted his emotions and asked again, "How are they at Anning?" ”

Lin Ruxian personally helped Lin Fan take a cushion and leaned on his back, so that he could talk to himself more comfortably: "An Ning, Wang Hu and the one named Chen Fangshu, they also suffered some injuries in this battle, but they are not as serious as you." ”

"Now they are recuperating in another courtyard in the mansion, and your Uncle An and a staff member named Li Qingshan under you are taking care of them, you don't have to worry."

"After this battle, how many people are there in the official army of Huainan Province?" While asking this, Lin Fan's lips trembled.

Lin Ruxian hesitated, but he still did not avoid this question: "After this battle, there are less than 1,300 people in Huainan Province, including more than 1,000 foot soldiers and more than 200 cavalry, and almost all of them are wounded. Only those young and strong men did not go to the battlefield, but there was no loss! ”

"These remaining soldiers and horses, now under the orders of the Ministry of War, led by Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang, are stationed outside the city."

"For your sake, the military department doesn't dare to embarrass them, there is no shortage of food, grass and medicine at present!"

When Lin Fan first set off, there were more than 4,000 officers and troops in Huainan Province, but now there are less than 1,300 left.

This is more than 2,700 lives, just say no, it's gone, how can Lin Fan not be sad.

"Please ask my father to help me pass the message to Deng Wentong and Zeng Liang, so that they must take care of their injured brothers. In addition, the bones of the fallen soldiers must also be collected in time, and the bones of the soldiers must not be exposed in the wilderness. Lin Fan's tone revealed sadness and exhaustion that could not be concealed.

"Don't worry, I'm already doing this!" Lin Ruxian patted the back of Lin Fan's hand and comforted him.
