Chapter 997: Old comrades-in-arms
Qi Xiang has difficulty moving, and Yu Min has taken the initiative to follow him these days, helping him serve tea and water, and wash rice and dishes. Help him out in the sun.
At this time, someone next to him asked Qi Xiang: "Old Qi, you are so old, the age of being a soldier is not short, right?" ”
"It's not long, it's twenty-eight years." Qi Xiang said lightly.
"Wow, it's not long, there's nothing longer than you, right?" Everyone exclaimed, they didn't expect that there were mountains outside the mountains and heavens outside the sky.
But there were also those who didn't believe it at all, so the deputy commander laughed and said: "Qi Qianhu, you can't count the years of being a soldier elsewhere in order to put gold on your face." ”
"As soon as we become soldiers, we follow the emperor!" Yu Min said angrily: "And the emperor's own soldiers understand?!" ”
"Hahaha, boy, do you know that twenty-eight years ago, it was a few years of dragon and phoenix?" The deputy commander couldn't help laughing and said, "The Dragon and Phoenix Era hasn't started yet!" Thousands of households bragged to you, you took it seriously! ”
"Yes, if he followed the emperor at that time, if he wasn't the Hou Ye, he would at least be a governor, how could he be like us, a small thousand households?" Another thousand households also echoed and laughed.
"......" Yu Min directly closed himself, and finally understood why Qi Qianhu never wanted to mention that he had been a personal soldier for the emperor.
At this moment, Mu Ying's voice sounded at the gate of the courtyard: "It's so lively." ”
When the sick people heard this familiar voice, they couldn't help but feel excited, and they quickly wanted to stand up and salute.
"Don't move, you're sick and injured, you don't have to be formal." Mu Ying smiled angrily: "I came to visit Big Brother with Guo Dudu, everyone is free to do so." ”
"Master Xie." The sick people hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you." ”
I was very curious in my heart, the eldest brother of Deputy General Zuo and Guo Dudu, how senior must they be.
I saw Mu Ying and Guo Ying go straight to Qi Qianhu's side......
Qi Xiang got up under Yu Min's support, smiled bitterly at the two of them and hugged his fists: "Master Hou, Du Du." ”
"Brother Qi, we haven't seen each other for fourteen years, have we?" Guo Yingyi grabbed Qi Xiang's hand and said excitedly: "I heard Deputy General Zuo say that you are hospitalized here." I hurried to ask him to take me to see you. How's your injury? How did you get hurt? ”
"Alas, in the first battle of Baishijiang, I followed Hou Ye across the river to rush to the camp, but the war horse was hit by an arrow and his leg was broken." Qi Xiang smiled bitterly: "As soon as I arrived in Yunnan, I started to be hospitalized, and I have been living until now, which is really a shame." ”
"What's that?" Guo Ying deliberately raised his voice and said: "Twenty-eight years ago, my eldest brother Qi followed the emperor to fight Hezhou. Born and dead for half a lifetime, what's wrong with resting in the hospital for a few days? ”
"Let's go inside and talk, everyone is uncomfortable here." Mu Ying saw that all the injuries were silent, so she followed Guo Ying and helped Qi Xiang to the ward.
"I can't do it, I can't do it." Qi Xiang hurriedly excused himself.
"What's the point you can't do?" Guo Ying is a hearty man, and his voice is like Hong Zhongdao: "When I was a personal soldier for the emperor, we still slept on a kang." I'm so hungry that I can't sleep in the middle of the night, and you bake buns for me to eat......"
"Don't be self-inflicted, that's roasted for me, okay, you rush to eat it every time." Mu Ying also smiled.
"Actually, I baked it for myself." Qi Xiang finally couldn't help laughing and said, "Every time I bake and roast, I fall asleep." When I opened my eyes, hey, the bun was gone. It turned out that I let the two of you steal it. ”
The three of them laughed and went into the house, closed the door, and went away with their own words.
In the courtyard, there was still silence.
After a long time, the deputy commander muttered: "It turns out that Qi Qianhu is really a fake old-timer......
"Hmph, what do you think?" Yu Min raised his head with honor. "You have to apologize to our thousands of households when you turn around."
"Apologize, have to apologize." The deputy commander nodded vigorously and said, "Later, the little brother will have to help the old brother and I have a few kind words." ”
"Look." Now it's Yu Min's turn to set the score.
~~
The conditions of the wards in the military hospital are much better than those in the emergency station, and at least every patient can sleep in a single bed.
And the bedding has been boiled and washed, and it is neatly spread and looks very crisp. The floors and desktops are spotless, and all personal utensils are stored in drawers.
Looking at the ward, which was cleaner and tidier than the army barracks, Guo Ying, who came for the first time, was amazed: "It is worthy of being a hospital managed by the prince, it is really exquisite." ”
"His Royal Highness King Zhou arranged this way, not only for the sake of good looks, but also for the health of the patients." Mu Ying knows a little better than Guo Ying, but she doesn't understand very well: "It seems to prevent infection or something." ”
"Yes, it's not easy to be hospitalized, and there are many rules in the hospital." Qi Xiang also complained: "It's like not drinking raw water, and you have to wash your hands before and after eating." Wash your feet every day before going to bed, and shave your head as long as there are lice on your head...... It's just too many to count, and it's overwhelming. ”
"The prince is in charge of the hospital in person, so we can only do it honestly." As he spoke, he changed his words again, and said with a sneer: "But there is one thing to say, the effect is really obvious, and most of the injuries recover quickly." It's completely different from before. ”
"Yes, I was basically dead when I was seriously injured before, but now most of them can be saved. As for the great kindness of the prince of Zhou, we also have to obediently listen to his request. Mu Ying said and smiled at Qi Xiang:
"As you just said, there are also requirements in the army now. And it was raised to the height of the strict requirements for the prevention of miasma, and it violated the military law to engage in it, and now the psychological balance is better, right? ”
"Haha, really." Qi Xiang couldn't help laughing.
The three of them talked about their experiences when they were soldiers together, when Mu Ying and Guo Ying were still half-old, and now they are both in their thirties and forties.
Qi Xiang sighed even more: "You have changed so much now, now one is the marquis, and the other is the governor." It's heartwarming to still recognize me as an old brother......"
"By the way, there's good news for my brother." Seeing this, Mu Ying smiled and said: "The emperor has issued an order to reward the officers and soldiers of the southern conquest, and all the officers below the command will be promoted to one level, brother, you are now a hereditary commander!" ”
"And this is just a general reward, how should your credit be calculated." He smiled again: "With the combat exploits you have accumulated, it is not a problem to be promoted to another level. ”
"That's the deputy commander, that's like a little talk." Guo Ying nodded when he heard this.
"In addition, the emperor also has a decree," Mu Ying continued: "His enlistment sergeants, those who are sick and weak, are not limited to ten or one hundred people per guard, and they can be repatriated first." If the elder brother is willing, he will be able to follow His Royal Highness the King of Chu back to Beijing in a few days and reunite with the old lady. ”
"Uh-huh." Guo Ying said: "It's good to go back early, as soon as the summer comes, the miasma is rampant, and I don't know how many people will die, it's the right time for my brother to retire." ”
"......" However, Qi Xiang thought for a moment and then shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." ”
