Chapter Seventy-Three: Confession

When An Xiabai claimed that he was not feeling well and needed to go upstairs to rest, Zhou Hedong paid special attention to the movement upstairs, and when he heard a bang of broken porcelain, his heartstrings tensed, and he couldn't wait to rush upstairs immediately to check the situation. However, considering that An Xiabai was a woman, it was not good for me to show too much concern for her, so I resisted the impulse in my heart.

When the guests downstairs finished settling the account and there was nothing to do, Zhou Hedong hurriedly ran upstairs: "I heard the movement downstairs just now, and I thought there was a quarrel, is something wrong?" ”

With him present, Ruqing and Shen Ya both reined in, and hurriedly shook their heads and said that they were fine.

"Are you still going to do that job?" Shen Ya still had a longing in his heart: "Listen to my advice, don't go." ”

Ruqing snorted coldly, excused herself to leave in advance, and said to Shen Ya before leaving: "Thank you Lord Shen for your concern, but what I want to do, I still hope you don't interfere." ”

Shen Ya was a little annoyed, as soon as she left, she also excused herself that she had something to do, and suddenly only An Xiabai and Zhou Hedong were left in the room.

"What's wrong with them?" Zhou Hedong didn't know what to do.

"It's okay, there's a little conflict, let them go." An Xiabai waved his hand, half-squatted down to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, but before his hand could move, he was stopped by Zhou Hedong.

Under An Xiabai's puzzled gaze, Zhou Hedong smiled shyly and said, "I'll come, Mrs. Lu, your body is special, how inconvenient it is to do these things." ”

Her body is really not suitable for doing this, coupled with the fact that she has been overthinking and tired recently, An Xiabai did not excuse herself, and thanked him with a smile.

"It's all as it should be." Zhou Hedong behaved very shyly, and after helping to clean up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, he also helped An Xia Bai pour tea and water.

I didn't go out when I was done, so I stood in the room with my head bowed, a little cramped and uneasy.

"Do you have something to tell me?" An Xiabai frowned and said with a puzzled expression.

Zhou Hedong hesitated for a moment, nodded, and asked in the gentlest tone of his life: "The medicine you drink is not a fetal pill, but a medicine with the opposite effect, right?" ”

He was right, so An Xiabai didn't know how to reply, like a liar who had done bad things and was exposed in public, physically and mentally exhausted, so she didn't defend herself, and directly chose to nod.

"I thought I was wrong, but it really was." Zhou Hedong looked at An Xiabai's tired expression, and suddenly felt distressed.

It is said that nine out of ten people who went to the battlefield to fight could not come back, and she didn't want to keep her children, was she afraid that Lu Li would stay on the battlefield forever like them?

Come to think of it, An Xiabai is still young, and the days to come are still long, and important plans will follow.

His heart was beating in his chest, and Zhou Hedong felt that his blood was boiling.

"Actually, I've liked you for a long time, Mrs. Lu."

Zhou Hedong deliberately lowered his voice when he spoke, plus the distance between the two people was a little far, and as soon as the voice downstairs was noisy, An Xiabai couldn't hear his words clearly: "What did you say, I didn't hear it clearly just now?" ”

Zhou Hedong clenched his fists, raised his face and confessed to her: "From the first time I saw you, I fell in love with you, if Lu Li can't come back, I will take care of the rest of your life." ”

An Xiabai was stunned for a moment, and realized that what he said was too excessive, so he wrinkled his brows and said slightly: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

"Isn't what I said right, fighting on the battlefield is originally a life of nine deaths, and now you drink medicine and want to lay down the child, isn't it because Lu Li may not be able to come back?" Zhou Hedong only thought she was embarrassed, walked two steps, and said affectionately, "Mrs. Lu, you promise me, if Lu Li can't come back, you can marry me, no matter who the child's father is, as long as it's your child, I will like it." ”

An Xia Bai was dumbfounded, feeling that his current words could be called shocking: "Tell you frankly, the abortion pill is not because I am afraid that Lu Li will not come back, but because the child will not come back, whether he can come back or not, I am willing to wait, as for you, there is no possibility between us, don't be delusional." ”

An Xiabai said, didn't bother to see what expression Zhou Hedong had on his face, strode forward, and walked out of the room directly.

Lu Li finally had a few days of peace, since he chose to trust the old military doctor and gave him all the wound medicine to study, there were many less troublesome things in the army, just so that he could rest.

"You just give him the wound medicine, aren't you afraid that he will directly deduct his name after he develops it, and take the opportunity to ask for merit and reward?" Zhang Xiaodong sat beside Lu Li, raised his eyebrows and asked puzzled.

After helping Lu Li come out and slap the old military doctor last time, the relationship between the two gradually developed in a better direction, and now they are really brothers and sisters.

The matter of the injury medicine is related to Lu Li's reward, and Zhang Xiaodong is even more anxious than himself.

"I believe in Dr. Song's character." Lu Li opened his eyes and said with a faint smile, "How many wounded lives has he treated in the army for many years, if he is really a person who is greedy for merit, he would have returned to Beijing to retire a long time ago, why stay on the front line and endure hardships?" As for the wound medicine, I don't think it matters, if my wife knew that the medicine she developed was used to save lives in the army, she would definitely be happy, and not care who the credit goes to. ”

Zhang Xiaodong has been by Lu Li's side for a long time, and often hears him mention An Xiabai, and he can't help but be a little more curious: "If you have the opportunity, you must meet your sister-in-law in the future, she must be a virtuous and gentle beauty." ”

When mentioning An Xiabai, Lu Li was not modest at all, not only nodded yes, but also was willing to brag.

While the two of them were talking, Liu Fengfeng suddenly ran over, holding his knees and panting: "I can be regarded as finding the two of you, the hiding place is really wonderful!" ”

Liu Fengfeng is usually a steady and honest person, but today he suddenly rushed over panting and talked to himself, something must have happened, Lu Li jumped up from the ground, and the first reaction in his mind was: "Is there an enemy army coming to sneak attack?" ”

"Not the enemy!" Liu Fengfeng hurriedly waved his hand and said with a smile that it was not the enemy's sneak attack, but the old military doctor finally developed the formula for Lu Li's wound medicine.

Lu Li and Zhang Xiaodong looked at each other and smiled, and slowly walked in the direction of the military doctor's tent.

At that time, the old military doctor was treating the wounded, and looking at his festering wounds, he couldn't bear to say; "A new wound medicine has been developed, and it may hurt a little when you first sprinkle it, so bear with it."

The wounded man hugged his injured leg and nodded repeatedly, sat in place and let him do whatever he wanted.

After tossing for a while, he sat quietly in place, and unexpectedly found that the pain on his wound began to ease, his eyes widened, and he looked at the old military doctor gratefully: "Doctor, my injury doesn't seem to be as painful as before, thank you so much, you are a living bodhisattva who saves suffering!" ”

The other wounded in the camp chimed in, saying that the old doctor's medicine was good.

A series of compliments made the old military doctor fluttering, happy and happy, but he didn't dare to admit the credit: "If you want to thank you, go to thank Lu Li, he asked me to develop the wound medicine, and everything is Lu Li's credit." ”

Liu Fengfeng and Zhang Xiaodong, who were hiding outside the camp tent and listening to the voice, heard this, and patted Lu Li's shoulder together: "It's all your credit, when the decisive battle is held in two days, you must come back alive to receive the credit." “

Lu Li nodded with a smile and said, "I'm sure I'll be able to come back alive." ”

As soon as the time turned to the eve of the decisive battle, the general took pity on the brothers in the army and specially ordered the logistics to leave some wine for them, and they could make an exception to drink some at night.

The war is ashamed, the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, maybe the brother who drank with him tonight will lie down in the sea of corpses and blood tomorrow, and the atmosphere of everyone is a little solemn for a while, holding the wine bowl and refusing to drink.

It wasn't until the general took the lead from above, drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then smashed the glass proudly, that the atmosphere began to come alive.

"Actually, I don't like to drink very much." Lu Li held the wine bowl and smiled shyly.

At that time, he was sitting with Zhang Xiaodong and others, but they didn't embarrass him, and after laughing at him, they went to the person beside him.

Lu Li felt the lively atmosphere, and somehow, he suddenly felt a sinking mood.

He misses An Xiabai a little, and he doesn't know what she is doing now, whether she has received the letter he sent in the past.

"Are you Lu Li?" Suddenly, two people stood in front of Lu Li, each holding a bowl of wine in their hands, and staring at Lu Li with flashing eyes.

After confirming that he hadn't seen them, Lu Li nodded, and asked each other with confusion and puzzlement: "Who are the two of you?" ”

"We haven't seen it, but we've heard of your name." They sat beside Lu Li on the left and right, holding the wine bowl and saying to him with a smile, "We were injured before, and the military doctors said that we couldn't live, and it was only with your wound medicine that we were good. ”

It turned out that he came to toast, Lu Li hesitated for a moment, and he didn't want to dismiss others, so he drank the toast.

Zhang Xiaodong, who guessed boxing and gambled, found that the situation was not right, turned his head and asked, I heard that they had also received Lu Li's life-saving grace, and Deng Shile was happy: "In this way, Lu Li has really saved a lot of people, and I have also been saved by him, Lu Li is really a special existence, not only is he good at fighting, but he can even get the medicine to treat diseases and save people, and his personality is good, alas, if I am a girl, I must marry him." ”

Liu Fengfeng chuckled and slapped him on the head: "You are sober, Lu Li has a heart, even if you are really a girl, Lu Li may not be willing to ask you." ”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed out loud.

Liu Fengfeng's slap helped Zhang Xiaodong sober up, he scratched his hair, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm just saying, alas, Lu Li is really lucky, he has a young wife, and he looks like he has military merits, so you have to pay attention to it tomorrow, don't fold on the battlefield." He paused, as if realizing that what he had said was wrong, and changed his words, "Tomorrow you only have to fight, and as long as I have a life behind, I will save you!" ”

When the people who were rescued by Lu Li heard his words, they only felt that the blood on their bodies was boiling, and they echoed in a loud voice: "I will also protect you in the back, the beautiful wife in the family, you can't live up to it!" ”
