Chapter 60: Broken Appointment

Lin Qian stood outside the door and listened to all the conversations of Xin Yi and the three of them, and walked all the way back to the camp in silence, only to find that the candied fruit he bought for Xin Yi was still in his hand because he was too nervous.

He opened the paper bag containing the candied fruit, took a piece and put it in his mouth, the overly sweet taste made him feel a little bitter.

And what made Gu Chenyi care more was the last sentence that Gu Xinyi asked.

"Is there anyone you admire?" However, he did not hear the answer of the man in his heart, which made him a little stunned.

As a result, his seventh brother Gu Shan, who lived in the same tent with him, was already asleep, and Gu Chenyi, who had always been strict in his work and rest time when there was no war, was now lying in bed and tasted the taste of "trapped by love" at one time.

Bing Ran's smile kept coming to his mind, and he thought of her in many different ways: she sometimes fiddled with all kinds of herbs in the medicine basket in the grass hut and small courtyard of Chenjia Village, sometimes wiped the sweat from his forehead in the prison of Dingyan City, sometimes busily shuttled around the medicine box between the camp tents of the Gu family, and sometimes quietly watched him on the battlefield where the two armies faced off.

Somehow, he suddenly remembered the scene when the second brother and the third brother got married, and the next moment the person wearing the big red wedding dress became himself and her, they bowed to the church, and were surrounded by the brothers into the cave room, exchanged cups, chanted poems and fanned, and then he couldn't help but think about the next thing.

Although most of the men in the barracks were rugged, he was not ignorant of men and women, but applying these things to himself, he felt his whole body heat up, and the more he tried to stop "thinking nonsense", the more real the picture became in his mind.

The next day, I didn't wake up until noon, and I was greeted by Chenyi, who was standing outside the hospital with a food box.

Thinking that it was not appropriate to appear in front of him in such a raunchy manner, I hurriedly washed and combed my hair. The ancient women's hairstyles were so difficult to comb that I had to tie a random headband.

Hearing me say "Please come in" Chen Yi's face turned red inexplicably, and I wondered: "Chen Yi, isn't it comfortable for you to blush like this?" Why don't I give you a pulse? ”

Chen Yi's body stiffened suddenly: "No need...... You're hungry, eat something. ”

Today he brought tomatoes, egg noodles and a few side dishes. The sweet and sour taste of tomatoes still appeals to my appetite. However, when I tried to use chopsticks, my right arm still hurt badly, so I had to be fed by Tatsuyi to finish a meal, and I felt as if my age had gone back to three years.

Although he has always been careful and gentle when he asked the military doctor about my injuries and fed me, even if I couldn't say anything about my slow eating, he didn't have the slightest impatience, but his hurried steps told me that as a general of the Gu family, he actually had a lot to do.

After Chen Yi left, I said to the shopkeeper of the medical hall: "Please take me to pick some medicinal materials, I have nothing to do, make some wound medicine to pass the time." ”

The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed: "The medicinal herbs are easy to say, but the girl's right hand ......"

"It's okay, one hand is just a little more troublesome, but you can still do things."

Achu has recovered most of his condition after several acupunctures and the personal treatment of the British Gong Gu Ye, and he is trying to breathe himself every day.

Xin Yi sometimes comes to help me with the pharmacy. Sun Zhongjing was not very happy because of his minor injuries, and he was always stuffy in the hospital, and he had to go out for a walk from time to time, so he couldn't find anyone for half a day.

Such days lasted seven whole days. Chen Yi would come and bring me food every day – more precisely, noodles.

On the third day, I was a parent-child noodle with chicken and eggs, and I was determined to regain my skills with chopsticks, although I had prick myself several times in advance to relieve the pain, but my arm was still a little disobedient.

The fourth day is fish fillet tofu noodles. Fish fillet with snow-white tofu soaked in milky white soup, with green green onions, it is beautiful to look at it clearly, but unfortunately I have never liked tofu.

On the fifth day, it was mutton stewed noodles, and Chen Yi was still worried that I would not be used to the smell of mutton.

The sixth day is eel noodles.

Day 7...... I looked at the noodle bowl and wanted to cry: "Chenyi, can we stop eating noodles, and my injury is almost healed, I want to go out to eat......"

Chen Yi's hand touched his neck unnaturally: "Ah, yes, what do you want to eat, I'll take you later." ”

I was asked, and felt the disadvantages of being a dead house in ancient times when the Internet was not developed, and I could only smile and look embarrassed: "I...... Haven't figured it out yet. ”

Chen Yi smiled: "It's okay, think about it slowly, I'll finish handling military affairs earlier in the evening, and Youzheng will come to pick you up." ”

"Okay, it's a deal!"

"It's a deal."

So, after making cotton wool for a day, I made a pillar of incense in advance, and for the first time after coming to Dingyan City, I dressed up well, and then stood at the door of the medical hall on time in Youzheng with great interest.

After I had decided what I was going to say to Chenyi when we met, it was already time for a cup of tea.

I overturned the words I had conceived and thought of a new set, and it was time for a cup of tea.

Chenyi did not appear.

I moved from the entrance of the medical hall to the intersection where Chenyi had to pass, and met a cake shop, a candied fruit shop, a cloth village and a money village along the way. I also carefully counted the twenty-three kinds of cloth in the cloth house; There are sixteen flavors of preserves in the preserves, two drizzled with honey and five sprinkled with icing.

Chen Yi still didn't show up.

I'm still patient with waiting for someone, but I'm hungry. This is probably the consequence of my deliberate failure to eat properly at noon when I thought of having something delicious at night.

If every tea I waited for was the tea I actually drank, I would be no different from a bucket now.

And like the dynasties and generations of feudal society in the real world, Huaguo also has a curfew, but the time is more relaxed. It wasn't until the watchman shouted "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles" that I was told by a slow and fast gong: If I don't go back on the third watch, I'm afraid I will be arrested.

So I had to go back to my lodgings hungry after standing in the wind all night. It saddened me more than I was sad or angry that I felt a dull pain in my stomach.

And so, my first so-called "date" with Chenyi began with my full anticipation and ended with him giving me a huge pigeon.

It wasn't until I walked back to the hospital like a piece of wood that I was a little worried about the faint pain in the wind and the right shoulder that missed the dressing change time - I was worried about various complications after the injury, I have always been very careful, and the wound recovery has been good with the medication and needle, but after such a toss for one night, I don't know if it will be "wasted".

My sixth sense is still very accurate. The next day, when I was lying in bed with a fever and a dizzy brain, I had the strength to dictate my usual fever-reducing prescription to the doctor owner.

"Blowing a cold wind all night, who is sick if you are not sick?" Sun Zhongjing saw my share in the process of decocting himself with medicine, and helped me bring it back, and laughed at me.

Chen Yi still came around Youzheng, although it was a day late. I slept in a daze, my whole body was hot, but I only felt a chill in my bones. Until the towel on my forehead that was almost hot by me was replaced, the cold touch made me sober up a little, and then I seemed to fall into an embrace, this embrace carefully avoided my wounds, the solid arms and chest came from the scorching temperature, faintly there was a real air in the meantime, driving away the chill around me, the uncomfortable feeling of fire slowly subsided in the process of being gradually covered with sweat, and my consciousness also changed from chaos to clarity.

When I opened my eyes and saw the owner in my arms, it was really Chenyi who had missed the appointment. I wanted to lose my temper with him, but unfortunately I couldn't do anything, I only had the strength to wink at him: "Chenyi, you didn't come yesterday, did you remember the wrong day or did you forget it?" ”

Chen Yi didn't answer me, and even the joy on his face when he saw me wake up was only fleeting.

His attitude overshadowed the doubts in my heart, and I rubbed my head lightly against his chest: "What's wrong with you?" ”

He still didn't answer, just hugged me tighter, and I could feel his breath brushing the hair on the top of my head, itching slightly.

After a long time, he finally spoke, his voice a little hoarse: "Ran'er, I must protect you." ”

"But I don't want you to leave me, really...... Don't want to. ”

I lay motionless in his arms, with only one thought in my head: something must have happened to him.

But if I could have stopped looking over his head and had a good look at him, I might not have missed the pain and loneliness on his face.
