Chapter Seventy-Six: Remembering the Past
Probably because of the motion sickness, Qiao Wan didn't have much appetite, so he only put down the dishes and chopsticks after a few bites, and didn't even move a few chopsticks for his favorite sauce duck.
Zhou Yu sighed in his heart and persuaded gently: "The long journey is hard, so let's eat as much as possible." β
"I can't eatβ" Qiao Wan clutched his chest and frowned in pain, "I want to vomit as soon as I eat." β
Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and then a certain thought flashed through him, "Why don't you let Mr. Su come over and give you a pulse?" β
"No, no, no, I want to rest, just get some sleep." Qiao Wan hurriedly refused, and plunged into the quilt.
Zhou Yu did not speak again.
The queen bed is soft and comfortable, so you can sleep soundly all night. The next day, Qiao Wan was awakened by the fragrance of porridge, which is the soft and glutinous taste of red dates and glutinous rice, sweet but not greasy, and the fragrance is attractive.
She sat up unconsciously, and saw two delicate porcelain bowls on the table containing hot porridge, steaming with delicious steam, and beside them were several plates of delicately carved pastries. But Zhou Yu was nowhere to be found, she suddenly hit a spirit, opened the door and rushed out after getting dressed indiscriminately, but collided with Zhou Yu, who just pushed the door in.
Her head hit Zhou Yu's chest hard, and suddenly a burst of pain came, and in the next second, the powerful impact made her body lose her balance and lean straight back, Zhou Yu quickly reached out to hug her, and there was a sharp pain in her heart.
He was so pain-tolerant that he couldn't help but breathe a deep sigh of pain, and he was speechless for a while.
Qiao Wan was dumbfounded, and Nuo Nuo apologized repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry - are you okay?" β
After a while, Zhou Yu held back the severe pain and asked in a dumb voice, "Is something wrong?" β
Qiao Guan's heart was weak and his voice was weak, "No, it's nothing, I just can't find you-"
"I just went out to make it easier."
"Oh, I seeβ"
β¦β¦
"Okay, okay, it's okay." After Zhou Yu's chest pain eased, he grabbed her shoulder and reluctantly smiled, "I know that you have a bad appetite, so I specially prepared eight-treasure porridge and hawthorn cake for you, come and taste it." β
"Okay."
The porridge is warm and glutinous, the hawthorn is refreshing, it is indeed very appetizing, and Qiao Wan rarely eats all the porridge in the bowl.
Zhou Yu didn't like to eat such sweet things very much, but seeing that she was eating deliciously, she was also happy in her heart, and she didn't feel the corners of her mouth raised, "There are still many in the kitchen, can I go and add another bowl to you?" β
Qiao Wan shook his head, "I can't hold it anymore." β
Zhou Yu knew that she was just such a cat meal, and he didn't persuade him, he lowered his head and finished eating in his bowl, in fact, he had eaten it very early, but he was afraid that she would be lonely when she ate alone, so he accompanied her to eat again.
Not long after eating, Zhou Yu urged her to go on the road, and specially said to her: "Guan'er, you have to get up early from tomorrow, otherwise we will go to Buhua Mountain for two months." β
Qiao Wan quickly shook the pot: "You want to wake me up." β
"I can't bear it today, I want you to adapt first, and from tomorrow, get up on time and set off."
β¦β¦
What followed was a rush almost day and night every day, and Qiao Wan gradually got used to this kind of life, but he didn't even say a word of bitterness.
That day, on the outskirts of Jingzhou
The weather was clear, the clouds were light and the wind was light, and everyone took a break on the grass by the river. Zhou Yu personally lit a fire for everyone to roast river fish to eat. In fact, there are still a lot of entanglements between them, but Zhou Yu didn't enter the city in order to take a shortcut, so this lunch can only be made like this.
Qiao Wan helped Zhou Ping and them spread out the dishes and chopsticks, and after a while, the smell of grilled fish came from behind the big tree on the side.
"It smells so good!" She ran over looking for the taste, looked at the strings of delicacies in Zhou Yu's hand, and swallowed her saliva with envy.
Zhou Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he saw her greedy cat-like appearance, "This fish is not as good as the one at home, and there are no condiments, let's make do with it first," he turned over the pile of grilled fish, and finally picked out one and handed it to her, "This one is ready, for you to eat." β
Qiao Wan took it and gnawed it like this, he was used to sleeping in the open for more than ten days, but he didn't pay so much attention to it, but he felt that the fish in his mouth was grilled with charred skin and tender meat, and it completely released the natural freshness, but it was extremely delicious.
She couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Zhou Lang, you can do anything, it's so powerful." β
Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile, "I have been fighting for many years, and I still have this ability to survive." β
But he is only twenty-six years old now, and how many children of officials and eunuchs like him who were born in a family can only be greedy for pleasure at this age, looking for flowers and asking willows, and when he came out to recruit troops, he was not yet her current age.
Qiao Wan began to feel a little distressed, lifted his skirt and squatted down beside him, and asked gently: "Zhou Lang, you must have suffered a lot when you recruited soldiers, right?" β
Zhou Yu glanced at her, her eyes flashed a little surprised, she didn't expect her to ask so suddenly.
He looked at the thunderclapping fire, and thought leisurely: "In the second year of Xingping, after the death of my parents, I sold all my family property except for the ancestral house and recruited 1,500 soldiers," he smiled, "At that time, I didn't know how expensive it was to lead soldiers, and the silver was quickly used up like running water, and I took nearly 2,000 people, with no military food and no weapons, almost to the point of desperation. β
Qiao Wan was very distressed, threw away the spearfish stick in his hand, and hugged him tightly, "What about later?" β
Zhou Yu's eyes were full of gentle smiles, "Later, when I came to Linhuai, I heard that Lu Zijing was open-minded and benevolent, so I came to ask for help with the mentality of giving it a try, hoping that he would give me some money and food-guess how much he gave me?" β
Qiao Wan thought about his relationship with Lu Su and guessed, "A thousand taels of silver?" β
Zhou Yu shook his head and sighed: "Lu Zijing's family is well-off, and he has two pieces of grain, each with a number of 10,000 catties, and after I explained my intentions, he led me to the granary, pointed to one of them and said to me: 'Qing has a natural talent, I am willing to help each other and help Qing to show his ambitions. ββ
Qiao Guan's eyes widened in disbelief and exclaimed, "You mean, he gave you half of his belongings?!" β
Zhou Yuxing's eyes were slightly rippling, and he nodded slowly.
Qiao Wan shook his head in disbelief and sighed: "You have never met in your life, he trusts and helps you so much......"
"Not only that, but he also hired workers to build 5,000 single knives for me, worried that I would be difficult halfway and give up easily - if it wasn't for Lu Zijing's charcoal in the snow, maybe Zhou Yu wouldn't be where he is today."
Qiao Wan was deeply shocked and didn't say anything, it turned out that there was still such chivalrous courage in this world.
Zhou Yu looked down at the fish skewers in his hand, "It's almost baked, let's take it for everyone to eat." β
