Chapter 60: The ointment
Due to the tight war on the front line, the dispatch was quickly sent to the men who were conscripted, saying that they would leave in five days, Lu Li asked An Xiabai to accompany him more during these five days, and An Xiabai responded with him, but only accompanied him for two days.
The incident originated from some vegetables that were placed in the corner of the house, and An Xiabai was cleaning up the house that day, and accidentally saw them, and looked at them in a daze for a long time.
Lu Li looked strange, so he asked her: "What's so beautiful about these moldy things, it's better to take a few more glances at your husband and me when you have time, and quickly throw them away." ”
An Xiabai selectively ignored his words, furrowed his brows and asked: "If the war on the front line is tight, will there be not enough wound medicine in your army, how many doctors are in the army, and will the environment be very bad?" ”
"Madame, you have a lot of questions." Lu Li thought about it carefully before answering, "Joining the army is not an easy thing, isn't it normal for the environment to be harsh, for the soldiers on the front line, more important than these, is the small life." As for the number of military doctors, I don't know very well, I only know that there has always been a shortage of medicine for wounds on the front line, and most of the injuries and illnesses cannot be treated, and it is for this reason that they cannot be treated. ”
Speaking of similar topics, Lu Li felt that the atmosphere was a little dignified, and he was afraid that An Xiabai would worry about him, so he smiled and said, "Madam, why did you suddenly ask this question?" ”
"Just a little curious." She picked up a moldy one from the pile of vegetables and held it in the palm of her hand like a treasure.
Lu Li was disgusted with dirty, and hurriedly persuaded: "Madame, quickly throw that thing down!" ”
An Xiabai shook her head with a smile, winked at him, and said, "It's a baby." ”
In the next few days, An Xiabai went back and forth between the restaurant and the house, bringing some moldy things from time to time, and used another room to place it, and then went to the pharmacy several times, each time she came back with a big bag of things, what exactly did she buy, she pursed her lips and refused to say it clearly, which really made Lu Li distressed.
The days are like flowing in a hurry, and soon it is time to set off, this day Lu Li woke up and opened his eyes, and what he saw was not An Xiabai's sleeping face.
The quilt is cold, which means that she has been out for a while.
When it matters like this, why doesn't she send herself?
Lu Li silently got up to pack his luggage, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.
He quickly came to the gate of the city according to the requirements written in the paperwork, and at that time there were already many people gathered at the gate, all of them were farewells, and even the pregnant woman he saw when he signed up for the army last time also came.
"Why didn't Mrs. Lu come with you?" As soon as Ruqing arrived at the place, he saw Lu Li's face hanging low and silent, and there were people around him to see him off, but he was alone, which looked quite pitiful, so Ruqing fanned and stood beside him: "Are you reluctant?" ”
Lu Li was sentimental in his heart, shook his head with a wry smile and said, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come, that's it anyway." ”
He said that it didn't matter, but his eyes kept looking in a certain direction, as if he was waiting for something.
Ruqing smiled and joked to him: "It's nothing, who is secretly looking forward to it, don't you count it in your own heart?" ”
When Lu Li heard this, he was like a deflated cannon, and his whole person began to decadent: "Will she really not come to see me?" ”
Ruqing intended to scare him, so she smiled and said, "I think it will." ”
Seeing that the face of the person beside him was getting more and more ugly, Ruqing was afraid that it would really chill his heart, so he hurriedly changed his words: "I have always seen her busy work inside and out these days, and I guess I can't bear you, so use busyness to numb myself, don't be sad, if she doesn't come today, it doesn't necessarily mean that she doesn't have you in her heart." ”
"Perhaps." Lu Li's eyes were slightly dark.
"Why don't I go and arrest her for you, after all, it's time to separate, and we should see each other again." Ruqing said to go, turned her head and took steps in the direction of the restaurant, but she was more pulled by Lu Li.
Lu Li shook his head and refused: "Since she doesn't want to send it, then don't send it, the most uncomfortable thing in the world is life and death, and if you don't come, you should be less concerned." ”
Some people just like to talk about it, but in fact, they look forward to it in their hearts.
"I'd better go get her for you." Ruqing broke away from Lu Li's hand, walked quickly in the direction of the restaurant, entered the door and walked directly to the kitchen, but unexpectedly didn't see An Xiabai, so she asked the cook: "Has Mrs. Lu been here today?" ”
"I came earlier, but she left after taking some moldy ingredients, and then I haven't seen anyone again, Sheng Gongzi, you are in such a hurry, don't there be something Sijiqing, right?"
Ruqing shook her head and said that it was just a trivial matter, and asked the cook An Xiabai the direction of leaving, and confirmed that she should go home, and immediately ran to the reverse of Lu's house.
What she never expected was that An Xiabai was not there, Ruqing searched every room and couldn't find anyone, until she passed by the firewood room and heard a faint voice from inside, and then she realized that something was wrong.
"Is Mrs. Lu here?" Ruqingjing pushed the door in, but what greeted him was not An Xiabai's smiling gaze, but a smoky smell.
It was the first time she had smelled this disgusting smell, and she almost vomited all the overnight meal: "Mrs. Lu, what are you tossing, don't you feel uncomfortable staying in such a room?" ”
Ruqing covered her mouth and nose tightly before she dared to step into the door, she looked around and found that the unpleasant smell in the room was due to the moldy ingredients, An Xiabai didn't know what was going on, and piled the moldy ingredients in the same room. Ruqing walked quickly to An Xiabai's side and was about to ask her something, but found someone lying on the table, but her eyes were closed, so frightened that she hurriedly carried An Xiabai out of the door and patted her cheek again and again.
An Xibai slowly woke up, it turned out that she was not dizzy by the unpleasant smell in the room, but because she was too sleepy, she actually fell asleep on the table.
After opening his eyes in a daze and seeing the sunlight in the sky, An Xiabai jumped up in fright: "What time is it, my husband!" ”
It turned out that she still remembered Lu Li, and she didn't deliberately go to see her off, but she fell asleep, Ruqing breathed a sigh of relief, and told her the scenes she saw before she came, An Xiabai said embarrassedly: "I'm so sleepy, I didn't close my eyes all night, I was really sleepy, I just wanted to squint for a while before dawn, but I never expected to sleep until now." ”
"It should be too late for you to go." In fact, Ruqing really wanted to ask An Xiabai why he collected the moldy things, and then thought about the people who were waiting for Lu Li at the gate of the city now, it was not good for him to drag An Xiabai by himself, so he planned to ask later, "You go quickly." ”
An Xiabai nodded heavily, ran back to the room and took two things, and then hurriedly ran towards the city gate.
At the same time, Lu Li's loneliness was discovered by the chief, and out of sympathy for his subordinates, the chief asked him: "Why didn't your family come to see you off?" ”
When Lu Li heard this, he was even more embarrassed: "She's a little busy." ”
"I don't know if I can come back, she's too perfunctory." The chief couldn't help but feel unjust for him.
Lu Li didn't meet and smirked.
Soon it was time to leave, Lu Li took his salute and was about to set off dejectedly, when the chief suddenly patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Is that lady who ran over from your family?" ”
Lu Li subconsciously looked back, and his eyes suddenly brightened: "Madam! ”
It's a pity that it's time to leave, and it's probably too late to say goodbye, thinking of this, his expression darkened again.
An Xiabai's hair and clothes were a little messy, and her cheeks were red because of the trotting all the way, obviously she came in a hurry, and the chief looked at the reluctant appearance of the two young couples, so he pushed Lu Li out: "Go, go and say goodbye to your wife, remember to hurry up, everyone is waiting for you." ”
Lu Li's heart was warm, and he thanked the chief gratefully, and then walked quickly to An Xiabai's side.
"Husband, I'm sorry, I wanted to go out with you, but I accidentally fell asleep." Before An Xia could catch his breath, he apologized to Lu Li with red eyes.
Lu Li didn't blame her, but she was even more distressed when she heard the words, and gently patted her back with her generous palm, and said smoothly for her: "It's okay, I know that Madame has me in her heart." ”
I don't know what An Xiabai has been busy with recently, but judging from her face, it must not be easy.
The color of the blue under his eyes made Lu Li feel very distressed, and he instructed: "You must rest well after you go back, don't tire yourself anymore." ”
An Xiabai nodded repeatedly, and then took out two things from his sleeve, one was a medicinal powder carefully wrapped in paper, and the other was a small porcelain bottle, which should be filled with water, which was a little heavy.
"What is this?" Lu Li was puzzled.
"I've been busy for the past two days just to study them."
An Xiabai told Lu Li that when she was young, she accidentally cut her hand with a knife, and her mother dug out Penicillium from the paste and applied it to the wound, saying that it could stop the wound from being red and swollen, and then within two days, the wound was healed.
"Didn't I say that there was a lack of wound medicine in the army before, I carefully recalled the method that my mother taught me before her death, and developed this kind of medicine powder, and the medicine in the bottle is almost the same effect, one for internal use, one for external use," An Xiabai finally gasped, hugging Lu Li's waist and reluctant to let go, "I originally wanted to make more for you, but the time is too late, it is only enough to make these, husband, you will use it." ”
Lu Li's heart softened into a puddle of water, it turned out that her busyness in the past few days was also because of herself, although she didn't know whether the prescription worked or not, in short, Lu Li was very moved.
"Thank you Madame for your concern," he rubbed her neck, sniffing the scent of her hair, with mixed feelings in his heart, "I will definitely come back alive." ”
"Wait until you get back." Anxia Bai smiled lightly.
At this time, the chief began to urge the trip: "Lu Li, you should return to the team, we have to set off in a hurry, and if we delay it any longer, I am afraid that the trip will be delayed." ”
Lu Li and An Xia Bai reluctantly parted, their eyes facing each other before parting, and silence was worth a thousand words.
"Go on, husband, I'll take good care of myself." An Xiabai waved his hand, Lu Li nodded, solemnly took the things she handed over to him into his arms, and then returned to the team, and slowly walked into the distance after the horn sounded.
An Xiabai stood in place, listening to the crying voices of other family members, and her heart was inevitably sad.
