Chapter 66: Pedanty
"Is it that I've been too busy lately, which has led to the delusion that your mother doesn't seem to like me very much?" Ruqing frowned, recalling Shen's mother's reaction to herself just now, and she felt a sense of grievance in her heart.
Since she was a child, she has never been treated like this by others, mainly because those who dare to treat her like this have been beaten by her, facing Shen's mother, for Shen Ya's sake, she can't do anything.
"My mother, she does have a bit of a prejudice against you." Shen Ya pressed her temples with a faint pain, and tried to explain to Ruqing in a relatively gentle tone, "My mother's temper is like this, in fact, you are doing well, she is just too stubborn to look at it for a while, usually she likes that kind of girl who is gentle and well-behaved, and knowledgeable." ”
Ruqing doesn't touch any of them.
"The elders like that kind of girl, I can understand it, but I don't understand, why does she have such a big opinion of me?" Ruqing said aggrievedly.
Mother Shen disliked her gift in front of her, and deliberately stabbed her with a cold attitude, wouldn't it embarrass her in public?
Doesn't it say that the family attaches the most importance to etiquette, why is she so abnormal?
Ruqing's grievances and Shen Ya saw it in his eyes, and he also saw Shen's mother's dissatisfaction in his eyes, and he could roughly guess the reason, if it weren't for the contrast between An Xia and Bai, Ruqing wouldn't look too bad.
Shen Ya was worried about Ruqing's face, and it was not good to say the reason directly, but said euphemistically: "She likes well-behaved and gentle girls, you usually pay more attention in front of her, talk less, be more tolerant, after a long time, she will definitely change her opinion of you." ”
The suggestion is good, but unfortunately Ruqing is full of grievances and is unwilling to continue to cooperate with him: "Impossible!" ”
At the same time, Shen's mother happened to come out of the living room, secretly standing at the door and listening to the voices of people outside, and her heart trembled when she heard Ruqing's impossibility.
The ears continued to eavesdrop, and then they heard Ruqing and said: "My character and temper are like this, I can't change it, I can bear it, and if I can't bear it, I don't know it. ”
The trace of guilt in Fang Cai's heart, as Ruqing's words disappeared without a trace, Shen's mother became more and more dissatisfied in her heart.
The little girl's family, she has this kind of confidence before she has passed the door, and she can return it after passing the door, does the Shen family still have a peaceful birthday?
Seeing Ruqing angrily turning around and running out, Shen's mother grabbed Shen Ya's hand when he was about to run out to chase: "What are you chasing, don't go!" ”
Shen Ya didn't know whether he should laugh or cry for a while: "Things are not what you see. ”
"What else, is it possible that my eyes will still deceive me, you and that Sheng girl, it's better to separate as soon as possible!"
The battle at the border became more and more tense, Lu Li estimated that there might be an enemy attack at night, and someone was really coming, the enemy army held torches high, and attacked in the dead of night, and the momentum was violent.
Fortunately, the general took precautions early, and deliberately sent more troops to guard important places such as granaries and tents, which were as strong as a barrier, and they really held the offensive.
Lu Li was responsible for guarding the granary, which was the main target of the enemy's night attack, and the general was not at ease to let others come to garrison, so he specially dispatched Lu Li over, and Zhang Xiaodong and others came together, saying that they were old men in the barracks, and they should be clearer than the recruits in some things, so they sent them over.
At first, when he heard that he came to guard the granary and was going to be instructed by Lu Li, Zhang Xiaodong refused.
After being framed and beaten dozens of boards, Zhang Xiaodong's hatred for Lu Li was engraved into his bones, and he couldn't stab people with a knife, so he was naturally unwilling to be subservient.
"General, I'll follow you!" Zhang Xiaodong fell to his knees with a thud, only to be slapped on the back of the head by the general.
"I know that your kid is very unconvinced by Lu Li, and even hates him," Li Wenfeng saw things thoroughly and sneered, "I sent you over this time just to let you see his ability with your own eyes." ”
Zhang Xiaodong was a little moved, but he still said the hardest: "I can't see it, he has only been in the army for more than a month, what can he do?" ”
"You haven't seen it again, how do you know that people definitely can't?" The general slapped him again, and made a decision without saying anything, "You follow him to guard the granary, in case there is an enemy attack, if there is anything wrong with his decision, you can replace him." ”
Zhang Xiaodong turned annoyance into a smile, and a little smile was added to his mung bean-like eyes: "Obey!" ”
Zhang Xiaodong took his brothers to say hello to Lu Li, and then took care of himself to do the assigned things, and when it was close to midnight, they were drowsy guarding the granary, and they began to question Lu Li's inference: "Do you think he is wrong, maybe there will be no enemy attack at all today, we could have had a good night's sleep?" ”
"I don't think so, the enemy has been silent for a long time, and so far there has been no movement, so I can't really make a move." Zhang Xiaodong said, trying to open the eyelids that he was trying to close, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of Lulida.
The latter stood in the dim light, his expression obscure, as if he was thinking of someone.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaodong immediately cheered up, thinking that he was not sleepy and I couldn't lag behind, so he stood up suddenly.
At this moment, a fire suddenly lit up in the dark woods outside the camp, and then an arrow broke through the wind and went straight to the camp.
"Watch out!" Lu Li shouted.
Fuel-stained arrows were fired into the tent, which was instantly set ablaze, and the light of the fire illuminated the faces of every soldier, and they all came back to their stupor.
I didn't expect Lu Li to really say it.
Zhang Xiaodong tightened his brows, drew his sword and fought with the enemy soldiers who rushed over.
The originally quiet camp also turned into a purgatory because of the sound of fighting and charging, with blood and corpses everywhere, Lu Li's heart sank slightly, and he narrowly avoided a long sword stabbing at him.
Who would have thought that the corpse lying on the ground was actually talking to itself a moment ago?
Lu Li put away his excess emotions, clenched his spear and quickly plunged into the war.
Because they had been prepared, the enemy army did not get the advantage, and they did not hold out for long before they were at a disadvantage, they mainly attacked by sneak, and they did not love to fight, but when they saw this, they turned around and ran directly into the woods, trying to get out of the battlefield.
Seeing that the leader of the enemy army was about to run away, Zhang Xiaodong was in a hurry, and he wanted to chase after the person who was fighting with him, but he was hugged by the thigh, he suddenly knocked the person to the ground, and he didn't know where to hit and stabbed Zhang Xiaodong in the chest with a short knife, seeing that Zhang Xiaodong's life was about to be lost, Lu Li frowned and rushed quickly behind the enemy.
As soon as he stabbed his gun, the enemy's body tilted to the side and he died on the spot.
Lu Li took his life, but Zhang Xiaodong couldn't pull his face to thank him, he stood up and held his sword in his hand again, and proposed: "When I fought just now, I saw that the leader seemed to be wearing a very special jade pendant, and he looked extraordinary. ”
If he catches someone, he will be able to ask the general for credit, and then Lu Li will no longer be able to be tough in front of him!
The more Zhang Xiaodong thought about it, the more excited he became, and he chased after Lu Li despite Lu Li's persuasion, but he was hit by the enemy army who had been ambushed a long time ago, and a team of men and horses suffered heavy casualties.
In the end, it was Lu Li who hurried the people to catch up, repelled the enemy army, and saved them.
At that time, Zhang Xiaodong was seriously injured and was already delirious.
"Don't chase after the poor." Lu Li sighed and helped Zhang Xiaodong up from the ground, he thought that the person was dead, but he didn't expect that there was still a breath, and he immediately picked up the person to the camp of the direct military doctor.
Although they had been prepared for the battle tonight, because they were too careless, the number of casualties was still more than expected, and the wound medicine in the barracks was not enough, and now it was even more uncomfortable, so they could only find herbs to treat general skin injuries.
Zhang Xiaodong's injuries were severe, with two arrows piercing his shoulders and knife wounds on his body, causing him to bleed profusely.
Lu Li came to the military doctor with him in his arms and asked him to see Zhang Xiaodong's injuries first, but the military doctor looked at it, sighed and shook his head, touched his mustache and said, "It's hopeless." ”
"Doctor, what do you mean by that?" The doctor's straightforward and direct attitude made Lu Li frown, and his expression was quite displeased, "He is still angry." ”
Zhang Xiaodong's brothers followed, and when they heard the voice, they almost knelt down and asked the doctor to save him: "Doctor, please save him." ”
"Even if the wound is stitched up to stop the bleeding, he will not survive in the future." The military doctor said helplessly, "There are not many herbs in the army, and after the battle, the number of wounded has increased sharply, and there are many places where the wound medicine can be used, and his wounds are troublesome to deal with. ”
Before the meeting, several people looked displeased, and the military doctor added: "The main thing is that his injury is too serious, and it will definitely be red, swollen and inflamed in the future, and there is no medicine in the army to save him, and he will only be more painful in the future." ”
"Inflammation?" Lu Li lowered her eyes, and suddenly remembered the medicine that An Xiabai stuffed into his hand when she left the small town to join the army, she once said that this medicine can reduce inflammation, maybe it can come in handy?
In short, it is much better than giving up a person's life for nothing.
Lu Li took the hand of the military doctor and pleaded: "It's a life, doctor, you can save him, treat his wound first to stop the bleeding, and then talk about it, as for the medicine, I will handle it." ”
But Lu Li didn't look like he knew medical skills, and the military doctor glanced at him suspiciously, but still chose to nod: "Okay then." ”
Seeing that he began to deal with Zhang Xiaodong's injury, Lu Li ran wildly, ran all the way back to his residence, and found the medicine powder in the box that he was unwilling to use.
When he returned to the military doctor's tent, Zhang Xiaodong's wound had been treated, and the military doctor frowned, as if he was thinking about something, and when he saw him coming, he said with a displeased expression: "Where's the medicine?" ”
Lu Li handed over the medicinal powder, and the military doctor picked it up and looked at it, sniffed it, and his face changed suddenly: "Are you fooling me, this package of powder doesn't look like medicinal powder at all!" ”
Lu Li expected his reaction, and was not annoyed when he heard this, and explained good-naturedly: "This medicine powder is my mother's home remedies, it is very useful for wound inflammation, the doctor may wish to use it first, and then replace it when the wound medicine in the army is enough, if there is something wrong with this medicine powder, I will bear it myself." ”
