The lower reaches of the Hengshui River on the outskirts of Xianning

A peasant woman dressed in coarse clothes took advantage of the darkness to get up early and came to a large rock by the river in the lower reaches of the Ganges.

Yesterday at noon, there was a fierce battle in the upper reaches of the Ganges River, and I heard that the enemy troops of the neighboring country suffered numerous casualties, and finally returned home after defeat, but Ji Fei, the general of the country's protector, was lost in this war.

No one knows the whereabouts of General Ji, but there is gossip that General Ji was captured by deserters from neighboring countries, but some people say that General Ji has already died in this battle, no matter what the possibility, the woman only feels very pity, because most of the country is guarded by the brave and warlike General Ji, if he really suffers misfortune, then it is likely that there will be no peace in the country.

With a sigh, the woman had washed most of her clothes, and just as she inadvertently raised her head, in a trance, she seemed to see a figure floating in the river.

The woman did not know whether the man was dead or alive, but when she saw that he was wearing the armor of her own soldiers, she looked around her.

Because it was still early in the morning, and there were no other villagers around the Ganges, the woman jumped into the river with a plop.

The woman thought to herself, if the big brother soldier in the river was alive, it would be good, in case he was already dead, then she couldn't let the body of the big brother be soaked in the river, how to say that the big brother soldier could be regarded as sacrificing his life for the country, so he should walk decently.

The woman had lived in the Hengshui River valley since she was a child, and she was so good at the water that she only paddled a few times after jumping into the water, and soon she swam to the position of the drowning soldier's eldest brother.

Pulling Brother Bing towards her, the woman's hand inadvertently touched the softness on Brother Bing's chest, and she was shocked.

Looking closely at Brother Bing's small, but delicate face, the woman blurted out, "Oh my God...... You're actually a girl? ”

The girl's mouth moved slowly because of the woman's screams, perhaps due to physical exhaustion, and the girl was unable to make a sound after all, and then she lost consciousness again.

Knowing that the girl was not dead, the woman was surprised to pull her ashore and then took her back to her home.

However, the girl slept in the woman's house for three days and three nights, and it was not until the fourth day that she opened her eyes.

Seeing the stranger approaching, the girl sat up from the bed, and looked warily at the woman who approached her with a bowl of medicine.

"You saved me?" The girl asked the woman defensively.

The woman nodded kindly.

"That's right, three days ago I was washing clothes in the lower reaches of the Ganges River and found you floating in the river, so I rescued you and brought you home.

Girl, I have boiled herbs for you to dispel wind and cold, you are awake just in time, drink the medicine quickly! ”

"Sister-in-law!"

Taking the medicine bowl, the girl habitually sniffed the smell in the bowl, and it turned out to be Qianghuo.

Knowing that Qianghuo had the effects of dispelling rheumatism, dissipating wind and cold, and relieving pain, the girl glanced at the woman gratefully, and finally she drank the whole bowl of medicinal soup with a grunt.

Seeing that the girl didn't blink her eyes when she drank the medicinal soup, the woman admired it very much, because she knew that the taste of this medicine was bitter and bitter, and few people drank this medicine without changing their faces, but the girl did it, and she praised from the bottom of her heart: "You soldiers are really different from ordinary people, girl, you must have suffered a lot in the days of marching and fighting, right?" ”
