Chapter 7 The Road is Difficult
Ling'er lay in front of the window, looking up at the starry sky with few stars, with a melancholy expression.
"It's so late at night, hurry up and close the window and hide under the covers."
Ling'er was indifferent to Dong Yumo's advice, she shook her head gently, as if talking to herself and as if to Dong Yumo, and muttered: "Originally, after he was with Xue Tao, I didn't want to deal with him, I didn't want to have anything to do with him, but why, after knowing that he was going to leave tomorrow, my heart was difficult to calm down, I wanted to say goodbye to him, I wanted to talk to him, I wanted to send him off, but... Why do you force yourself not to do this, my heart is so upset. ”
Dong Yumo said leisurely: "This can only show that you still love him, but you don't want to admit it, maybe..." You're jealous, and you're jealous. ”
Ling'er glanced at Dong Yumo who was lying on the bed on his side in surprise, and said, "How do you know so clearly, have you had such an experience before?" ”
Dong Yumo smiled slightly: "Who said that if you know, you must experience it, we all know what we have learned now, so have we experienced it, even if it is a teacher, it may not have been experienced, a lot of knowledge is researched by him... Speaking of love, teachers don't often want to love boldly if we want to love, and we must face our feelings calmly, rather than hide, otherwise you will get sick, and something will happen sooner or later if you go on like this. ”
Ling'er thought for a while and said, "Then what do you think I should do?" ”
Dong Yumo said lazily: "Just follow your heart." ”
Ling'er didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Don't be so mysterious, let's talk about what to do." ”
Maybe he was tired of lying on his side, Dong Yumo turned over, looked at the top of the bed and said slowly: "Actually, you still like him in your heart, in fact, you are still the same as before, every time you see him, you will have an urge to rush up and surround him, but every time you deliberately let yourself not do it, every time you regret the impulse, you secretly resolve that you must not do it again next time, but every time he appears in front of you, you will have this impulse, sometimes it is not very obvious, it is just forcibly suppressed by you."
The reason why you did this was actually eating Xue Tao's vinegar, feeling that the man you liked was taken away by her, and you were unhappy, in fact... Love is very simple, as he often said in class, since love must be bold to love, do not have any scruples, have any burden in the heart, with the original intention to love what you love, so that you will not regret it, even if there is no result, the key is the process of love, the ending does not have to be very good, but why not enjoy the process.
Also, you were educated too deeply by the teacher, although the teacher advocates true love, but there are not a few women around the man, and there are more than you around the teacher, just two women, if you just want to monopolize him and not let him like others, it will seem too selfish, the teacher did not get a three wives and four concubines like other officials is already the best among men, we women also hope that their men are their only ones, but the world is like this, you have to follow, otherwise... Sooner or later, it will be eliminated by this society.
You should get the idea, right? ”
Ling'er frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile: "I know how to do it, Yumo, thank you so much, next time you don't understand anything in biology, just ask me, I won't ask you for something to exchange." ”
"It's a deal."
Dong Yumo smiled and didn't say anything, covered the quilt, faced inside, closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep, Ling'er quietly left Dong Yumo's room, after taking the door, she walked towards her room, before entering the door, she glanced at Xue Tao's room, thinking that he and Xue Tao were in the clouds, but at this moment her heart was unusually calm, she didn't think about that kind of scene like before, she felt uncomfortable, her heart knot had been solved, Ling'er would sleep more soundly this night······
"The chariots, the horses, and the pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists. The grandmother and wife sent each other off, and the dust did not see the Xianyang Bridge. The clothes stopped crying, and the cry went straight up to the sky······"
Lao Du's "Soldier Chariot Travel" did not make Lin Fan feel how tragic it was to go on the expedition, nor did he feel that parting had the kind of tragedy and pain that Lao Du had seen.
It's as it always is!
really parted, Lin Fan didn't have so many thoughts, a little lazy and happy as in the past, since this road had to be taken, then he chose to go on, walk happily, walk chic, as usual.
There were a lot of people gathered at the gate of the Hou Mansion, first the grandfather gave Lin Fan a few words of advice, and then the two of them continued to spend their old age with a smile and a smile, these two old men are different from others, and they are very much in favor of Lin Fan to become a military doctor, since they have this ability, they should do what they can, in their opinion, saving those sick is nothing, saving those injured who fight for the country is great, so when they heard that Lin Fan was going to be a military doctor in the barracks, the happiest were the two of them, these two old men have gradually the same temperament since they retired together, One thing about Big Ear is that he still doesn't repent, that is, he still hates people saying that he is old.
Lin Fan's parents were reluctant to let their children go to the cold north, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, and they could only silently wish their children a safe journey, and the two were still packing Lin Fan's luggage in front of the carriage, and Lin Fan's mother was still chattering about this and that.
The second stunned man was crying and mournful, and he was scolded by Lin Fan before he smiled again, and then the long-winded problem came again, even more verbose than Lin Fan's mother, explaining this and that, and also said many uncertainties on the battlefield, so that Lin Fan should not go to the battlefield to play casually.
Lin Fan didn't listen to his nonsense, and ran to the car to explain to Shan Xiong, who was already sitting there, this time Lin Fan only took Shan Xiong to set off, Xiaozhu and Xue Ying did not follow, the family always had to leave some people to protect the family, relying on those old people to take care of Lin Fan was not at ease.
Everything that should have been said with Xue Tao has been explained, everything that should be explained has been explained, and there is nothing to say when parting at this moment, the two of them are ready to separate after instructing each other, Lin Fan was a little sad not to see the familiar figure in the crowd, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything, he secretly sighed and stepped into the carriage, and as soon as he stepped on his front foot, there was a call behind him.
"Brother Lin."
Lin Fan turned around in surprise, and saw Ling'er happily walking towards him, and he was even more surprised in his heart, he hadn't heard Ling'er call himself 'Brother Lin' for a long time, although Ling'er was as big as herself, but she was small, so she had always regarded herself as a brother, but she hadn't called it like this for a long time, why did she suddenly call it this time, and she said goodbye to herself so happily, what is the reason.
"Brother Lin, there is nothing to send on this northward trip, here is a sweater, take it on the road, it should be able to wear it when it is so cold in the north... Actually, this was knitted for you a long time ago, but later... Alas, let's not talk about the past, take it, be careful on the road. ”
Lin Fan looked at Ling'er as if he was flattered, and he didn't know what to say while holding the package she sent, Ling'er punched him with a smile, and said: "Don't be dumbfounded, this is the real me, I was angry with you before, but now I'm not angry..." Don't talk about this, the past is already in the past, oh, by the way, I just heard that Xue Tao is already happy in the morning, don't worry, I will also help take care of her. ”
"You······ Are you alright? ”
Ling'er smiled and said, "It's okay." ”
Lin Fan had a smile on his face, nodded at Ling'er's nose and said, "You, you are still so playful, I don't feel at ease when Xue Tao hands it over to you to take care of." ”
Ling'er smiled and stretched out her hands: "I haven't hugged you for a long time, you can..." Hug, hug, right? ”
"Of course."
Lin Fan also stretched out his hands, Ling'er naturally threw in, the two hugged each other tightly, Lin Fan's heart was very calm, because of his own and Xue Tao's affairs, there seemed to be an insurmountable ravine between him and Ling'er in front of him, and now this ravine has been cleared, this is something to be happy about, in contrast, he is more willing to see Ling'er like this now, this is the Ling'er he knows.
After a long time, the two separated, and when they let go, Ling'er smiled at Xue Tao and asked, "It's okay to hug your husband like this, right?" ”
Xue Tao smiled slightly: "What can be the problem, it is my honor for Lin Fan to have a woman to treat him well, because I love him, so I hope that others will also love him, and if he is loved by many people, he will be happier." ”
Lin Fan looked at Xue Tao gratefully, and only after a long time did he retract his gaze, waved to the farewell crowd and stepped into the carriage, and as soon as the coachman drove, the carriage left the Lin Mansion and drove towards Li Jing's military camp.
"Brother Lin, I'll miss you!" Ling'er waved desperately in the direction of the carriage, her hand shook vigorously, and unconsciously, tears flowed down uncontrollably, and the face that was smiling just now was full of tears in an instant.
Xue Tao quietly walked to Ling'er's side, gently hugged her shoulder, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, he will come back, he will definitely come back, we... Let's wait for him to come back! ”
Ling'er gently rested her head on Xue Tao's shoulder, looking at the carriage that was getting farther and farther, tears streaming down her eyes more and more······
After Lin Fan arrived at the barracks, it didn't take long for the team of more than 20,000 people to leave Chang'an, Lin Fan was still sitting in the carriage, this was the privilege given by Boss Li, originally only allowed to ride horses on the march, but since it was specially explained by the emperor, Li Jing, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, was not good at punishing Lin Fan, Lin Fan's status in the army was not as good as him, and the status of the doctor who could save the dead and help the wounded in the army was naturally not low.
Shan Xiong also likes to sit in the car, he is not a soldier, he just protects Lin Fan, so he should also sit in the car, outside the carriage is the team, Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren each rode a horse, looking at the excited look on the two of them, Lin Fan knew that these two must be in a hurry to kill the enemy immediately, and at this moment the two of them should be in the fantasy battlefield to kill the enemy.
The carriage drove on the official road, raising a puff of dust, the frost and dew formed in the early morning had completely dissolved under the scorching sun, and the few young grasses left in the field were listlessly curled up with their leaves after the frost.
In the field, a few children were taking ice in a shady place, where the sun was not shining, and there were still ice cubes, and they dug up a large block of ice, and then drilled a hole in the middle, hung a rope, and beat it all over the field like a gong, and the sound of frolicking was endless······
Lin Fan lay on the car window, looking at the scene in the field with infinite yearning in his heart, and couldn't help but think of his childhood, he used to come over like this, no matter how cold it was outside, he would find some fun to keep warm, this... It's childhood, childhood without fear and scruples.
The team continued to move forward, the scenery on the road was not so beautiful, the population gradually decreased, there were wooded mountains on both sides, at noon, the team did not stop, everyone just ate some dry food, eating while moving forward, without the slightest rest, this had no effect on Lin Fan, he sat in the carriage and enjoyed lunch more than everyone else.
"Would you like some chicken legs?" Seeing that Xue Rengui and Niu Zhongren were just nibbling on steamed buns with some water, Lin Fan couldn't look at it, and the food was too shabby, so he took out his other chicken leg and handed it over.
Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't appreciate it at all, and they didn't mean to accept it, Xue Rengui shook his head and said: "It's better to keep it for you to eat, how can we be special forces to eat so richly, if there is no dry food in the wild, I'm afraid that the insects will have to eat, and I'm afraid I'll starve to death in the future if I get used to eating delicious food." ”
Lin Fan looked around, everyone else was eating like this, he was a little embarrassed to put away the chicken legs, but thinking that he was different from them, he ate boldly again, and ate it with confidence.
"Uncle, where is our destination this time, and we have to travel a few days to get there?"
"Our goal is Mayi, I don't know how far it is, this is my first march, but it doesn't look very far from the map." Xue Rengui said uncertainly.
Niu Zhongren glanced at Lin Fan and said: "I haven't been going for a day before I want to reach my destination, we are going to fight, not to play, how can we want to arrive in a day or two, and it will take ten days to go to Mayi, you can stay up slowly." ”
Lin Fan didn't care, leaned up and asked in a low voice: "We are really sleeping in the wild, it's freezing this day, where can we sleep in the wild." ”
Niu Zhongren smiled: "Could it be that you want to go to the guest house?" ”
Lin Fan said with a smile: "I don't know if the emperor has given me this privilege, if there is, I am willing to use it." ”
"Don't dream, the emperor has prepared a carriage for you, what else do you want."
"Xiaofan, you don't have to dream now."
Niu Zhongren gloated and pointed ahead, and said with a smile: "It's time to cross the mountain, Xiaofan, you can't go up this carriage, your privileges can only be used here, hahahaha······ Come down and walk with us. (To be continued.) )
