It is deeper and heavier, and the south is very wet and cold in winter.

Gu Rong slept casually in the wild all night, and in the early morning, her clothes were soaked by the night dew.

It was just dawn, and there was a long loud trumpet sound in the distance, and I don't know which camp was gathering.

At this moment, the door of a small town closest to the Southland border opened.

Before entering the town, you must be searched.

Guarding the door were two middle-aged soldiers, one of whom saw her alone, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, couldn't help but be suspicious, and asked coldly, "You are a scholar, what are you doing here?" ”

Gu Rong replied, "My brother is fighting in the camp, and he hasn't written to his family for a long time, and the family is not at ease, so let me come and see my brother." ”

The soldier replied, "To be a soldier?" Which battalion is your brother from? ”

Gu Rong was speechless for a while.

The soldier saw that her face was suspicious, and he was even more suspicious, and was about to make a move, when he heard someone talking behind him.

"Brother Liu!"

The soldier looked for the sound, and when he saw the comer, his face was also happy, and he shouted, "Ah Fang!"

Xu Fang walked over with the carriage and said happily, "Brother Liu, I haven't seen you for many days, everything is okay?" ”

The soldier patted him on the shoulder and said very heartily, "Everything is fine......

Xu Fang glanced at her and said, "Brother Liu, is there any misunderstanding, this little brother Gu is acquainted with me, and he can't be a spy." ”

"Since you met, I naturally believe you, let's go in and talk."

Gu Rong had no choice but to follow the two into the town and go to Brother Liu's house.

The two talked as they walked, and Brother Liu asked, "How is it?" ”

Xu Fang said, "I shipped a batch over, and the next batch will have to wait for half a month." ”

Brother Liu was a little relieved, "It's good to have it, with these medicinal materials, the wounded in the army can be counted as one by one." ”

Gu Rong followed Xu Fang all the way, and probably understood at this moment, Xu Fang borrowed the name of the caravan to actually deliver medicinal materials to the army, and now that the situation is tense, if he sends someone to escort him, he will definitely not get the medicinal materials smoothly.

During such a small talk, Brother Liu's daughter-in-law had already prepared the meal and brought it up, and beckoned them, "It's time to eat." ”

At this time, Brother Liu had time to notice Gu Rong, he glanced at Xu Fang, and said, "You said you know this brother?" ”

"Acquaintance."

"Little brother, I said that you came to look for your eldest brother, which battalion is your eldest brother from, what is it called, I am going to the army tomorrow, I can help you find out one or two."

Gu Rong replied, "My eldest brother's name is Wang Yuan, he is under the Changfeng Army, my parents passed away early, and Brother Wang takes care of me everywhere on weekdays, and I treat him as my biological eldest brother in my heart." ”

"If you know the name of the camp, then it's easy to inquire, and you can wait for my news tomorrow."

With such an arrangement, Gu Rong stayed at Brother Liu's residence.

Early the next morning, Brother Liu and Xu Fang went to the barracks early.

Gu Rong also got up early, and saw that Brother Liu's daughter-in-law was boiling porridge in a big pot early, and the pot was big enough for more than 50 people.

Gu Rongqi said, "Sister Liu, what are you doing here?" ”

Liu saw that he was awake and said, "Wake up, little brother, breakfast is on the table." This is the porridge of the refugees, and every day there are two large pots, which will be delivered to the gate of the town, where there will be disaster victims. ”

I see!

There was nothing to do, Gu Rong had breakfast, so she helped her add firewood and fire, and after the porridge was ready, she helped put it into several large wooden barrels, Liu pulled a thin horse, pulled the cart, Gu Rong led the horse, and the two went to the town to give porridge together.

When everything was done, it was already noon, the two were busy dealing with a few mouthfuls of food and cleaning up everything at home, and Liu was able to be idle, carrying a bamboo basket and preparing to go out.

Gu Rong was doing nothing, and when she saw that she was dressed as if she was going out, she hurriedly said, "Sister Liu, are you ......?"

When Liu saw that it was her, he couldn't help but smile, "Look at me, I forgot that there is someone at home." She explained, "That's what I do every day, and when I'm done in the morning, I go into the mountains to look for herbs, and they don't come back until midnight, and that's all I have at home, so it's not good to be idle and do nothing." ”

Gu Rong couldn't help but feel deep admiration, and said, "Sister Liu is really virtuous and virtuous, and Brother Liu is blessed." ”

"You can come with me if you wish."

Gu Rong hesitated, and immediately carried the bamboo basket and went into the mountain with her.

Entering the mountain, it was the outskirts of the town, and Gu Rong led the carriage to pull her.

Along the way, the passers-by greeted each other and asked enthusiastically, "Sister Liu, go to collect medicine again." ”

"yes, yes, nothing to do, nothing to do......"

Someone didn't know Gu Rong, so he asked curiously, "This little brother has very good eyes, as if he has never seen it." ”

"This is my cousin in charge, who came to visit relatives, and I have time to sit at home."

"Definitely, definitely!"

This town is familiar with each other, and there is an unexpected harmony, even if it is not far from here, it is a foreign enemy, they still do not abandon it.

If it weren't for the war, this would really be Gu Rong's envied life.

Gu Rong drove the car, and after about half an hour, she arrived at the suburban road, the road was only two feet wide, and the carriage could no longer enter.

The two got out of the car and tied their horses, and hiked into the mountain with the basket on their backs.

Walking along the path, there were basically no herbs growing at first, and gradually you could see it when you walked deeper, but it was still a young plant, and it was a pity to pick it.

Li led the way in front, and she often came alone on weekdays, so she was very familiar with this mountain road.

Half an hour ago, the two of them saw a small row of medicinal herbs, with large roots and thick stems, already ripe.

Liu Shi said happily, "The little ones are good-looking, and it is not in vain that I have worked hard." ”

Looking at the appearance of this medicinal material, I think that Liu often comes to remove weeds in order to grow so well.

The two carefully dug up the roots and left the soil.

Soon the sun sets.

It was already dark when they returned to the town, and Brother Liu and Xu Fang had not yet returned, and Liu had long been accustomed to her husband's early departure and late return, so she was busy making dinner when she got home.

Gu Rong poured out the two baskets of herbs and cleaned them up according to the category, for the types that were afraid of water, Gu Rong found a clean cloth, removed the dust from the roots, and put them in the dustpan on the side. Now in winter, although it does not snow in the south, the humidity is heavy, and the herbs that need to be cleaned must be drained and scattered to prevent mold.

Liu came out with the food, and saw that the things that should usually be done by her had been cleaned up.

She was surprised, "I can't see it, little brother, you actually know pharmacology." ”

Gu Rong moved the dustpan to the vent, and said with a smile, "I know a little bit about it, it's good if I can help." ”

"Come over and eat, the two of them don't know how long it will take, it is estimated that it will be midnight, you can clean up after eating and rest."

"Okay, Sister Li."

Xu Fang and Brother Li did not return overnight.

In the evening of the next day, someone brought a message that something in the army was delayed, so that Sister Li could rest assured.

In the past few days, Gu Rong has followed the Li family to cook porridge and soup porridge, and went into the mountains to collect medicine, and everyone gradually knew that the cousin of Brother Li's family came to visit relatives, and he was a diligent and good-hearted guy.

It was just getting dark, and someone shouted outside the house, "Is Sister Li at home?" ”

The two were picking out a new batch of herbs, and the Li family replied loudly when they heard this, "It's the Qian family's sister, come in quickly, come in quickly......"

There was a guest at home, Li wiped his hands and stood up to greet her, and said with a smile, "What is the matter with the Qian sister-in-law coming to me?" ”

Qian said with a smile, "It's nothing important...... she smiled and looked at Gu Rong, who was busy on the side, and lowered her voice a little, "I'm here to kiss." ”

Sister Li was stunned, "Say kiss? ”

Qian hurriedly said, "The girl of the Wang family of the Zhenxi family, she is seventeen, and you also know my sister, the little girl of the Wang family is diligent and smart, is it not worthy of your younger brother?" ”

Dare to fall in love with her cousin, and came to the door to say that the relatives were here.

Sister Li said with a smile, "Sister of the Qian family, it's not that my sister doesn't help you with this, do you look at my brother, can you look like a girl from the Wang family?" His hand, and the dress he wore when he came, although I did not wear it, knew that it was a fine tapestry, and we could not find a horse of such good material in our town. ”

Qian said softly, "Sister, you can help, you are his sister-in-law, he will definitely listen to what you say." ”

Sister Li knew that Gu Yanzhi was not his husband's cousin, she said to the outside world that the two of them were climbing relatives, just to avoid gossiping, and it was really a bit abrupt to inquire about other people's relatives at the moment, but the Qian family was soft and hard, and she also knew that the Wang family girl in the west of the town was indeed good, and she was a good wife who could take care of the family.

Thinking about it like this, Sister Li was also a little eager to try.

She nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Okay, I'll find a chance to help you talk about it." ”

Qian was overjoyed, "Then I will thank Sister Li first." ”
