Chapter 20 August Acacia Flowers
%&*";
August 207 BC
Changxi is not in a good mood today.Always frowning and worried.I looked at his serious side face with a little weakness.Obediently quiet down and didn't speak.
The reason for my silence is simple, because I am the one who is the one who makes him unhappy.
This time, there is a lush locust forest around the camp, and it is a good time for the locust flowers to bloom in August, and the snow-white flowers are hanging in bunches on the branches, which looks very festive, and there are a few tall jujube trees on the edge of the forest, and many big green jujubes are hanging on the branches, which looks very greedy.
Sophora flowers can be eaten.The heart of the flower is extremely sweet.Originally, when I was in Afang Palace, I made locust flower cake with Luoying and Xiangzi.At that time, Xiangzi told me that there is a special way to eat it in her hometown.That is, acacia flowers can be made into flower rolls with jujubes.Eating them together in noodles is also excellent.
The conditions of the barracks are simple, and the dim sum that is a little more elaborate is luxurious food, not to mention the acacia cake or something.
I got up early this morning, and called the little soldier Agu who had been with him to go to the forest to pick locust flowers.
I was picking up bunches under the tree, and suddenly I heard a slight sound before the branches broke.
"Agu, the branch is about to break?" I asked him.
"Huh." Agu looked at the branch he was sitting on under his buttocks, and smiled at me under the tree, "Madame, don't worry, the branch is fine."
I heard better than normal people, so I was still a little worried, so I said to him, "You better change the branch, I seem to hear the sound of the branch breaking."
Agu shook his head, and before he could say something, he heard a crisp, clear sound from the branches, and before I could come to my senses, Agu fell straight down from the tree.
"Beware."
I didn't think about it, so I reached out and tried to catch him, but the branch fell first, and a sharp little branch poked down, just in the arm, and it came through.
Agu lay on the ground and hummed for a long time before he recovered, and hurriedly turned his head and asked me, "Madam, are you...... Your hands."
He looked pale at my arm, which had been pierced by a branch, and tears came out of his eyes.
"Get out of the way......" I gritted my teeth and said, "Go and call the doctor...... Hurry up ......"
Agu ran back to the barracks to find the doctor, and I tore off a silk ribbon hanging from my waist and tied it tightly on my wrists and upper arms, so that the wound would not stop bleeding.
"Cher." He knelt down beside me, his hands hung in the air, and he asked me helplessly, "Does it hurt?"
The old doctor came after him, panting, "Really...... I really want it...... I'm ...... I'm damned......"
"Quick." Changxi almost roared: "Don't bandage her yet."
The old doctor ignored the long runaway and knelt down beside me, stared at the wound, and then got up and said to the soldier who came with him, "Take a quick knife, cut this little branch off the trunk, and the others go and boil hot water, and move the medicine box in my tent to Lord Ji's tent."
"How." Changxi asked him nervously, "This hand can still be saved."
The old doctor rolled his eyes and snorted, "It's just poking a branch, and it's not broken.
Although Changxi was very dissatisfied with the old doctor's attitude, in the end, he obediently picked me up and went back to the camp tent, which was confused in pain.
The old doctor sent the other soldiers, leaving him to look after me, and he opened the medicine box vigorously, pulling out an old-looking, heavy-looking soldering iron.
"What do you want to do" Chang Xi waited for the soldering iron, and asked in disbelief, "You want to use this"
The old doctor looked at him with the eyes of a layman, and said calmly: "If the wound is not sealed with this, it will definitely suppurate or become inflamed.
"But it's going to leave a scar." Changxi said excitedly: "How can a girl leave such a scar on her body?"
"This scar will not be seen by anyone other than your husband's family, will you dislike Mrs. Ji because of this?"
"How could it be?"
"That's it." The old doctor lit the brazier and said indifferently: "Since Lord Ji doesn't care about this, then of course the old man takes saving his wife's life as the top priority, but what's wrong?"
Changxi bit his lip, and finally gritted his teeth and closed his eyes and said, "No, please."
The old doctor nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Then ask Lord Ji to find a cloth and stuff it into Madame's mouth, so that she will not bite her tongue because of the pain in a while."
Changxi took out the handkerchief in his sleeve and carefully stuffed it into my mouth, and said in my ear: "Okay Xue'er, you can bear with it...... It's all right......"
The spiky branches were pulled out of my arm, tearing at the flesh, and the pain made me cry, because I finally stuffed the handkerchief, and the cry had to be swallowed back. Changxi clenched my other hand, and his voice trembled in pain: "Okay Cher, it's all right...... Nothing to do ......"
But when the hot iron fell, I couldn't bear it anymore, and I bit down on the handkerchief so hard that I was dizzy from the burning pain.
When I woke up again, it was night, my arms were wrapped in white cloth, and there was still a trace of dizziness and pain in my temples.
"Changxi......" I called to him softly, his voice was still a little weak, he paused when he heard my voice, and then hurriedly turned his head to look at me, and said to himself, "Wake up......"
"Ahh I smiled at him, apologetically, "I'm sorry for worrying you."
He came over and sat down next to me, reached out and touched my arm, and suddenly his face changed.
"How did you get hurt?" he angrily asked, "Why did you run into the woods?"
"I wanted to pick some locust flowers and dates and come back to make some snacks, but I accidentally fell off the tree." I said lightly.Skip Agu's name directly.Because I know very well that if I let Changxi know that this branch has something to do with Agu.Agu will definitely be angry with him and be punished a lot.Agu will accompany me to pick locust flowers because I have entrusted him.If he is punished.I will definitely not be happy in my heart.
"You think I don't know if you don't say it." He snorted. But if you don't want me to punish him, then I'll pretend I don't know."
I couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, it's me, I'm worried."
He couldn't get angry anymore when he heard me show weakness, sighed, put his hand on my forehead, and pleaded, "Don't let yourself get hurt anymore, okay, if you're really not there that day, how will I live?"
