Chapter 156: The First Arrival
"So what now?" Yun Gui asked worriedly.
"What can I do? Now the army should have gone far, one step at a time! Hopefully she'll come back safely. Zhenghe said angrily, but when it came to the last sentence, his tone was obviously much softened, and it could be seen that he was still worried about the safety of Orange Creek, this is the so-called knife mouth tofu heart!
When Zhenghe and Yungui walked away, Haoran mustered up the courage to pick up the letter on the ground and read it, and after reading the letter, he sat down sadly on the stone on the ground. Orange Creek ran away from marriage like this, but she didn't give Haoran the slightest explanation for her escape in the letter, Haoran's heart was extremely sad, and her heart suddenly seemed to be hollowed out.
He and Orange Creek have been together day and night for seventeen years, and Orange Creek is gone, and the bits and pieces of the past are pouring out like a tide.
Three-year-old ......
Zhou Xi was three years old that year, but Haoran didn't remember how old he was, because he didn't even know what day he was born and what his name was, he was just a little beggar, a little beggar who was dying of hunger. He fainted from hunger at the door of the Zhou family's pharmacy, and it was Zhou Xi who brought him half a bowl of porridge with her small hands, "Brother, what is given to you, you eat." Zhou Xi's lovely smile and sweet voice at that time made Haoran unforgettable for life.
After that day, Haoran had his own name, his own home, and felt at home for the first time.
Seven-year-old......
Zhou Xi accidentally broke her father's ancestral inkstone, Haoran took the blame for her, was severely beaten by his master, and locked him up and didn't let him eat. It was Zhou Xi who secretly hid her steamed buns in her clothes when she was eating, and took them to satisfy his hunger while her father and mother were asleep, and the two divided the only steamed bun into two and ate it happily together, and slept together in the confinement room until dawn.
10 years old......
Haoran spent half a month going up the mountain to collect herbs, and exchanged these herbs for money, just to buy a birthday gift for Zhou Xi. When she went to the jewelry store, Zhou Xi heard that Haoran was going to give her a birthday gift, and she jumped up with joy, she chose one of the jade pendants at a glance, and asked the shopkeeper to divide it in two, and the shopkeeper repeatedly persuaded her, saying that if this jade pendant was separated, it would be worthless. But Zhou Xi still insisted on his idea.
Back at home, Zhou Xi made a beautiful pendant for the two halves of the jade pendant, took one of them to Haoran, grabbed Haoran's hand and said: "Senior brother, from today on, Xixi's birthday is also the birthday of senior brother, and we will spend every birthday together in the future, and we will never break our promise." ”
At that time, Haoran was moved to tears, he had never had a birthday, and he didn't know what day his birthday was, it was Zhou Xi, who gave him his first birthday.
Fifteen years old......
Zhou Xi has grown into a slim girl, and has begun to become rebellious, beauty-loving, and greedy, and Haoran always tries to satisfy her by all means. In the middle of the night, they climbed over the wall together to catch fireflies; gave sleeping pills to the master and the master together, and then sneaked out to see the lanterns and cruise the river; took advantage of the time to go to the clinic to earn some silver taels, just to buy her favorite wormwood glutinous rice for Zhou Xi......
In those years, Haoran did a lot for Zhou Xi, and they were happy and happy at that time.
Haoran pulled his senses from the memories and rushed to the store with the letter in his hand, "Master, let me go to find my sister, right?" ”
"Xixi is going with the army, how can you find it, not everyone can enter the barracks." Shotsuru returned while wiping the counter.
"What then? Don't you care about your sister? She was a weak woman, and it would be dangerous to stay in the barracks. ”
"My daughter! I understand that as long as the enemy does not hit the barracks where our troops are stationed, she will definitely be able to retreat in one piece. Speaking of which, Zhenghe's face was not as worried as before.
Oh, yes! Who is Zhou Xi? Fly the eaves and walk the wall, uncover the tiles in the upper room, and use medicinal poison ...... She is good at all those crooked ways. But here's the problem, now this person is not Zhou Xi! It's the new Orange Creek!
Heber was quite thoughtful, and specially prepared a carriage for these weak military medical assistants, and the seven of them were crammed into the same carriage, and the mountain road was rugged, and it was really uncomfortable to sit in the carriage.
The men who were fed with herbs on their bodies, with the bumps and shaking of the carriage, pressed on Orange Creek from time to time, making Orange Creek so angry that he pushed them away, "What a broken car!" It's even worse than crowding the bus. ”
Although the middle-aged man next to him, who was about thirty years old, didn't understand what Orange Creek said, he was already very unhappy when he pushed him at her just now, "Whose young master is this?" If you can't get used to us doctors, don't apply if you have the ability! Go home and be your eldest young master! The man said sarcastically.
Orange Creek wanted to give that person a pass, but after thinking about it, when he arrived at Biansai, he was not familiar with the place, he had no acquaintances, and he couldn't make enemies first! So she smiled and returned, "Big brother, you are joking, the younger brother is also to earn some money to subsidize the family, so that the medical skills he has learned can be useful, but he has never been in a carriage, and he is really bored and a little uncomfortable, I'm sorry Big brother, the little brother Zhou Haoran is here to compensate you, disturbing your sleep." ”
Seeing Orange Creek so respectfully and apologize to himself, the man's face immediately softened a lot, "Oh! That's it! Looking at your young age, it's like you've never seen the world. ”
"Yes! Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers! No, I didn't hide from my family and came to apply, I didn't make a difference, and I really didn't have the face to go back to see my father! ”
"Hey! It's all the end of the world, me! is to go back to her daughter-in-law on an errand to make a fool of herself, otherwise she will take the child back to her parents' house. The two chatted quite tacitly, and they both had something in common.
"After that, in the barracks, if the eldest brother has any use for the younger brother, just say that the younger brother must do his best."
"Okay, good, it's really a foreign acquaintance! In Xia Wang Jinyin, it seems that he must be much older than your younger brother, how about we be called brothers in the future? ”
Orange Creek didn't expect that this doctor was also so bold, and after a few casual conversations, she had a sense of righteousness, she thought about it and it wasn't a bad thing, so she agreed, "Wang Jinyin, this name is good!" All the gold and silver, big brother. ”
"Huh! Brother Ran smiled, but the eldest brother has neither gold nor silver, and there is just such a name. ”
Orange Creek held back hard to keep herself from laughing. He actually called himself Brother Ran, and felt that the goosebumps on his body were rising, how could he feel a little manly, she didn't dare to think deeply, "It's okay, big brother, where there is a will, there is a way, and success is a matter of time." ”
"Listening to Brother Ran's words, it's better than reading a book for ten years! Big brother, I feel full of blood and confidence all over my body, but I hate to see each other late! If I had met Brother Ran earlier, I wouldn't have been decadent for so many years and useless. Wang Jinyin excitedly grabbed Orange Creek's hands.
Orange Creek was embarrassed and wanted to pull her hand away, but Wang Jinyin grabbed it too tightly, she tried lightly and was unsuccessful, and it was not easy to shake it off vigorously, so she could only let him take advantage of it!
Orange Creek really didn't want to be crowded with these big men, so she jumped out of the carriage with everyone while the army was resting, and looked at Heber's back from a distance. When the army set out again, she did not get into the carriage again, but followed the soldiers on foot. She followed closely behind Heber's horse, watching Heber's familiar and tall back, tired and thirsty from the journey, but Orange Creek enjoyed it.
After several days of traveling, the army finally arrived at Biansai. As soon as they arrived at the place where the army was stationed, Orange Creek and the others were sent to treat the wounded.
After so many days of running around, as soon as I came, I was constantly busy all day, and Orange Creek was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist. After finally staying up until the night, the military doctor in charge assigned them a tent, and Orange Creek thought that they could finally sleep well.
But as soon as she entered the tent, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and several other assistants in the tent were naked, where they wiped themselves with towels. Compared with the discomfort and discomfort in the carriage before, the current situation seems to make Orange Creek cry and laugh even more.
"Brother Ran, why are you stunned? After a tiring day, hurry up and wash and sleep! Wang Jinyin, who came in behind Orange Creek, patted Orange Creek on the shoulder and said.
"Good, good!" Orange Creek smiled awkwardly and returned, but she couldn't move her legs. Could it be that in the rest of the days, she can really only "cohabit" with so many men? This room full of men shuddered at the thought of it, oh my God! O my fathers! Who's going to save me?
"Brother Ran, Brother Ran......" Wang Jinyin saw that Orange Creek hadn't moved, so he came to her and called her a few times.
"Do you want so many people to be huddled together? Isn't it one tent per person? ”
"I said Brother Ran! Why did your young master's temper come up again! Don't rub it off, come on, come to sleep! Sleep next to me, don't worry, I promise not to snore. Wang Jinyin pulled Orange Creek, who was standing at the door, to the bed, pointed to the two corners and said with a smile.
It is said that it is a bed, but in fact, it is a floor bunk made of simple grass and animal skins, and it is also a bunk, just like the kang in the north, which means to sleep together.
That's it! The matter has come to this point, there is no turning back from the bow, for the sake of Heber can endure anything, and it is not really going to happen to them, Orange Creek thought about it, and it was a big deal to sleep in clothes. Compared to other bunks, this corner is already the best position, at least without being squeezed in the middle like a meat bun.
She quickly took off the boots on her feet, got into the bed and covered her head and fell asleep.
After a while, Wang Jinyin also took off his boots and clothes and sat down on the shop, looking at Orange Creek wrapped tightly beside him, he lifted the quilt of Orange Creek, "I said Brother Ran!" On this hot day, you don't take off your clothes, you don't take a bath, and you wrap yourself so tightly in the quilt, do you want to wrap human meat dumplings? ”
Orange Creek was very uncomfortable with the quilt back on herself, and said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid of mosquito bites, it's better to wear clothes." Then he turned over and left a back for Wang Jinyin.
"Brother Ran! Big brother found out that you are too much, like a woman, old man, what are you afraid of mosquito bites? ”
Orange Creek pretended to be asleep and didn't pay any more attention to him, she muttered to herself: Mom! How did you come across a Lord who did so many things, and why did you do 100,000? It's endless.
