Chapter Seventy-Two: I Miss You
After the turmoil in Feixia Pass, I don't know if Gu Jiajun's methods were too quick and decisive this time, which played the role of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and the subsequent march has been safe and sound.
If the normal marching speed is calculated, the capital can be reached in less than 15 days. It's just that after leaving the three passes in the north of the town, there are more towns, states and counties on the road, although Gu Jiajun's rule is to try not to disturb the people along the way, and it is inconvenient to stop at will because of the gold medal urgency, but it is still necessary to have a face-to-face meeting with the local county guard.
In this case, Chen Yi had to be present, and my identity would be too ostentatious if I followed him. After leaving Feixia Pass, I changed into men's clothes and moved to the southern camp of the rear army, living with the female military family in the name of the military doctor, eating and drinking well every day, but dispensing medicine to take care of the wounded, plus taking advantage of the hurry to be familiar with the method of horseback riding, life is very comfortable.
Chen Yi's first reaction after hearing my arrangement for this matter was to frown, "I'm in the middle army, and you're in the rear army, so it's not close." ”
"It's okay, I've watched you for so many days, and now I see how you can ride a horse, I can borrow a horse and run over." Speaking of horseback riding, I felt a sense of pride: "There is no one riding a horse in the southern camp, I can lead the horse slowly, and I can let it camel the wounded with the mule, and then when the next camp rests, I will return the horse to the stable." ”
"......," Chen Yi said and stopped, "then who will protect your safety?" ”
"Is Nanying dangerous? I still have an acquaintance like Sun Shuyan there, and I'm only afraid that I am more familiar with the medicine tent in your camp than you, I don't know martial arts, and I can't fight or hide? ”
"Okay then." Chen Yi nodded in agreement with a bitter and hateful look.
"Thank you Dr. Shen, my waist is an old problem, and I can't move in bed when I change the day, but you will get a lot better as soon as you apply the needle." Today, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and Gu Jiajun has entered the territory of Jinzhou, which means that the capital is close at hand, and I am seeing a veteran who has committed lumbar spondylosis.
"You're so polite, I hope this plaster and waist brace can help you." After sending the veterans away, I continued to concoct medicinal materials and then classify them into a prescription.
There are things in the hands, and there are things in the heart.
Ah Chu stayed in Yancheng alone, although there was a Ye Ziqi by her side, but he was a weak scholar, and he might have to rely on Ah Chu to protect him when he encountered danger; Xin Yi and Sun Zhongjing also had no news, not to mention that they were still fighting alone, and they couldn't figure out each other's itinerary, and it was inconvenient to even send letters.
And I'm about to mix in this army and go to the capital. The capital is home to Chenyi and them; But to me, it's a completely foreign place.
From small villages and towns like Chenjia Village and Shuangqi Town to a bustling capital city where every inch of land is valuable, it will only be more difficult to gain a foothold. Even a wealthy family like the British Duke is only due to the exploits of three generations of the Gu family who shed their blood on the battlefield in exchange for its current status and glory - and now, this family is still about to face an unknown fate.
As for me, whether I want it or not, I am already tied to the same boat as the Gu family, so I can't hide in the cabin just to protect myself, and go with the flow to bet on whether the British Duke can keep this big ship from sinking.
When I need to take the helm, I have to step up.
After wrapping up the 300 pieces of medicine needed for the day, I took out a paperback booklet with the word "Essays" written on it, read it carefully again, and wrote to revise and supplement it from time to time.
The "Essays" are all the information I have captured in my conversations with everyone since I set out, the internal and external political situation, the customs and customs, and the family...... Categorized and everything.
The military families in the south camp are with the army on weekdays, and they can only do some sewing and pulping things, and they are all boring, so they can only pass the time by talking about the gossip of the family; Although those veterans have retired from the battlefield, there is no shortage of well-informed and experienced people, and the rules of the southern battalion are more relaxed than those of other battalions, which has become my convenience.
After reading the book for a long time, I moved my neck until I felt a sore pain in my back, and I realized that I had been sitting in this medicine tent from morning to night, and I didn't even know where the military doctor and the medic beside me had gone.
I was stretching my waist, but I heard the footsteps of someone entering the tent, and I said, "Where have you all gone?" Not a single figure is strange and scary. ”
"They've all gone to dinner."
"Oh...... Wait, I forgot about dinner! I sighed in my heart, and hurriedly got up to rush out of the tent, and almost hit a "human wall".
Chen Yi hurriedly held me with one hand, "Be careful." ”
"Chenyi, are you here?" I was a little surprised: "Are all the military affairs taken care of?" ”
"Well, I should be in Beijing early tomorrow morning." Chen Yi said, "After entering Beijing, you can't live in the barracks all the time, I have sent a message to my family, tomorrow someone will take you to Gu Mansion first, and my mother and sister-in-law will arrange for you to live there temporarily." ”
"Wouldn't this be a matter of worrying about the Duchess and the young ladies?"
Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, I understand my mother's temper, she will definitely like you very much; Although my sisters-in-law usually have nothing to do with me, they are also very friendly, but there is no need to be restrained. ”
"Thank you." Chen Yi's thoughtfulness and carefulness warmed my heart, and two red clouds flew up my cheeks, but ...... But I can't just accept his kindness.
"Thanks for what? Okay, let's not talk about it yet, but I'm hungry. Chen Yi brought out a bowl of noodles like a trick, and I noticed that he actually brought a food box.
"Your favorite beef noodles." He had a light smile on his face like a spring breeze, and his voice was three points softer than the gurgling spring water.
"You came on horseback?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I'm thinking, you rode all the way here, and you didn't spill any of the soup and water." I leaned into his ear and chuckled, "I think my man is amazing!" ”
Chen Yi's expression moved slightly, and he didn't answer, but it seemed that he was satisfied with the name.
After a few mouthfuls of soup, the delicious taste spread on the tip of the tongue, and the feeling of ironing accompanied by the aroma of noodles and meat poured all over the body, and I said, "Chenyi, why did you think of bringing me something delicious?" ”
"I know that as soon as you enter the medicine tent, you will forget to eat, so I can only run by myself." Chen Yi pretended to be helpless.
He was indeed helpless, Bing Ran had a deep understanding of the extent of forgetting to sleep and eat in order to dispense medicine and see a doctor, and the report of the master secret guard he sent to Nanying to protect her confirmed his conjecture at all.
"I'll pay attention to it later." I was a little embarrassed by his words, "Actually, the place where I live is not very far from the tent, and I am also very familiar with Uncle Jiang, who is in charge of the food, so I can go directly to find something to eat; If it really doesn't work, I can also ask Sun Shuyan or Aunt Liu, who lives with me, to help me bring a meal back by the way. ”
"No way!" As soon as Chen Yi spoke, he felt that his tone was a little rushed, and he hurriedly explained, "There is a fixed amount of food for each person in the camp, let Sun Shuyan collect it for you, if he can't say it clearly, won't it be delayed?" ”
"That's right." I continued to bury my head in the noodles.
Also, even if you are just colleagues working together in the medicine account, let other men care about you, I don't think it's a taste - this is what Gu Chenyi didn't say.
Looking at the person in front of him eating noodles and eating attentively, he didn't even look up at him, Gu Chenyi felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, "Ran'er...... Do you remember how many days we hadn't seen each other? ”
"Hmm...... Nineteen days, eighteen and a half days to be exact? I said, "But aren't you going to ask someone to bring me something in two or three days?" ”
“……”
I showed him my wrist, "Look, I wore all the bracelets you gave me, they look good, right?" I'm afraid that I'm going to be busy every day. ”
"Then take a good rest, the wound on my shoulder is not yet healed."
"I change my dressing every day, and it doesn't hurt much now." I continued, "So it's better to eat, the milk cake five days ago was very fragrant, and the jujube cake three days ago was a little sweeter, but it's okay, I like to eat sweet." ”
"What else?"
"Also, my needlework is really bad, so now I can only send you blood clotting powder, stasis cream and the like." I felt a little ashamed for a while, "When I ask Aunt Liu for a few more tricks, I'll make some clothes and shoes for you." ”
"It's okay, those pills are exactly what I need." Chen Yi asked expectantly, "Is there anything else?" ”
I wiped my mouth and looked back at him suspiciously, "Do you want to say anything else?" ”
Chen Yi was instantly disappointed, "I...... Do you want to say, I haven't seen you for so many days, do you miss me? ”
I looked at him, "The sisters of the military family in Nanying told me that when you miss a man very much, don't say you miss him, and don't go to him." ”
"Because if he has something else to do, he will distract him by saying that he thinks he will distract him, and if he goes to him, he will make trouble with you. But as long as he thinks about you too, he will definitely come to you, and even if he can't, he will want to tell you that he is thinking about you. ”
Gu Chenyi looked at the woman with autumn water on her face, and only felt that the lovesickness that had been going on for many days had finally arrived, and she couldn't wait to hold her thoughts in front of the person in front of her.
"So, I can only make a lot of medicine for you, and then make you miss me." I winked at him with a wicked grin.
Chen Yi looked at me, as if there was starlight hidden in his eyes. His hand was on my shoulder, not forgetting to avoid the wound on his right shoulder, and the next second, a gentle kiss fell on my forehead.
"Yes, I miss you."
