Chapter 187: The oil runs out and the lamp runs out
Ningxia Sheng was a little conscious: "Go, where did he go?" "At that time, I thought that Dr. Gu was the same as that Dr. Tan, I was afraid that something would go wrong and I would run away quietly, not to mention that Dr. Gu said okay, this time is over, I will return to my hometown, go back to live in the old age, and think about the blessings of my children and grandchildren.
"It's not like I'm going anywhere, Dr. Gu died last night."
"What!" Ning Ningsheng shouted loudly, "Have you figured out who I asked!" ”
The pro-soldier was a little aggrieved, and whispered: "He goes in and out of the general's camp every day, it has been almost more than 20 days, where can I be wrong, yesterday he went out of the camp, saying that he was still looking for some herbs, but someone saw him lying crooked outside next to the frozen and solid stream, he had already swallowed his breath and stiffened, and it was said that there were two mouthfuls of blood on the side of the corpse, and other doctors examined the body, and only said that the oil was exhausted and the lamp was dry." ”
Ning Ningsheng didn't speak, and the pro-soldier stood next to him for a while before saying: "He has been in the barracks for more than ten years, and he hasn't said that he has any relatives, so they all said that he would be buried on the edge of the barracks, and he would be able to see everyone every day in the future, so that he would not be lonely." ”
Ningxia Sheng hurriedly asked his soldiers to pass the word, and searched the place where Dr. Gu lived, and if he found a letter from home, he knew where he was from and where he lived, so he would put his bones in a coffin and send him back to his hometown to return to his roots.
However, the person who went to rummage through the relics came back and said that he had not seen any family letters at all after turning inside and out three times, and Ning Ningsheng went to it in person, but it was still unsuccessful, he pondered for a moment and asked, when he entered the ground, did the clothes on his body be carefully tied?
In reply to the matter, he was specially given new clothes, and the old clothes were sorted out, and there was nothing else except some scattered silver coins.
The old military doctor obviously talked about calling him back at home, and when he said it, there was tenderness in his eyes, and Ning Ningsheng didn't understand how he couldn't find the family letter, and he couldn't let his soul return to his hometown, but it became a matter of his own heart.
"Perhaps, there was never that letter from home." Sun Shining smiled and said, "The general didn't think of this?" ”
Ning Ningsheng stared at her quietly for a moment and said, "Why do you think so?" ”
"A man who has not been home for more than ten years with the army, his reason for coming out of the house should be true, but the letter to his family that he can't find at all is actually a thought in his heart, or, he already knew that his body was bad and he couldn't last long, and it happened that the general was in trouble, so he unconsciously took out his thoughts and said them as the truth."
He said so much that not only convinced the listener, but also convinced himself, that the young son he had left home had grown up, had children and daughters, and was happier than him, and that his misfortune was covered up by the happiness of the offspring, and that there was nothing more heart-wrenching than the continuation of such a life.
It is also for this reason that the old military doctor wanted to cure the poison of Ningxiasheng's red pill in the last days of his life, and he was in the camp tent, accompanied by Ningxiasheng, who sometimes lost his mind and sometimes lost his mind, and sometimes was sober and generous, no one would know what he was thinking in the depths of his heart.
However, Ningxia will be thinking about such a military doctor all his life, an old man who has never left a complete name, how many such people are in the border barracks, such a thing, if you don't give up your small family, where can you ask everyone to live in peace.
Sun Shining thought like this, the corners of his eyes were slightly sour: "Later, did you still bring back the bones of the old military doctor?" ”
"After a year, I just figured out the truth you just said, people say that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, this is true, even with Lao Shen is the same as what you said, at that time, his lie, not only appeased me, but also appeased himself, however, he still did his best for my injuries and died early."
Ningxia Sheng did not bring back the bones of the old military doctor, and the place where he had stayed for more than ten years and had not left could be regarded as his second hometown, where many dead sergeants were buried, some of whom knew and some of whom were strangers.
After staying for a long time, they will be more familiar with each other, at least there is more lively, the old military doctor is a person who talks a lot, is a person who is afraid of loneliness, Ningxia Sheng thought about it, if one day, he died on the battlefield, and he did not want the bones to be sent back to Tiandu, as long as the emperor did not object, he was willing to stay there forever, stay in the place that made him the most unforgettable.
This is also where he is unwilling to get married, all he has been left to that land, there is no way to stay with any woman, Xiuniang is willing to wait for him to return for a few years, although he feels guilty, he doesn't feel that he will really carry too much, which is the right measure.
If Xiuniang is slowly tired of such distance battles, then he is willing to let go and give her the most generous dowry, thanking her for the warmth she has given him in the past few years.
In the cold and biting camp tent, under the swaying brazier, slowly flipping through the books and briefs contained in the military newspaper, sometimes I can't help but slowly show a relieved smile, although faint, but ironing people's hearts.
Sun Shining looked at the little smile condensed at the corner of Ning Ningsheng's mouth, on that straight and tough face, it looked abrupt and indescribably harmonious, she felt that the surroundings were quiet all of a sudden, Xiuniang was also looking at his smile stupidly, and Shen Nian turned her head to the side and was looking at her.
She looked back with a clear smile, tonight's story is really good, although it is not thrilling enough, but it has given her a lot of courage, Shen Nianyi's hand reached over generously and held her Rouyi: "So, when I learned that you were poisoned by the red pill, although I knew that there was a way to save you, I was even more worried that you would not survive." ”
People who can't survive have two different endings, one is to lie under the red pill and be manipulated by it for the rest of their lives, and the other is to refuse to surrender, but they can't be defeated, so they can only cut off their own lives and die with them.
People who can do the second type are already worthy of admiration, among the people Shen Nianyi knows, only Ning Ningsheng is unscathed and has walked out of the maze, he really didn't think that Sun Shining would be the one who followed.
"Why can't I understand the story you're telling?" Xiuniang covered her mouth and yawned, "You know what time it is, the empty wine bottles on this table, but I will not leave until all my treasured wine is consumed." ”
"It's getting late." Shen Nian looked out the window, a bright moon, which was already slowly sinking to the east, "Talking like this, drinking and drinking, I just feel that I have been idle for a long time, where can I remember that the hour is constantly moving forward." ”
"It's only an hour and a half before dawn, I will sleep at this time, but it will be uncomfortable, Lao Shen will drink two more drinks with me, and Xiuniang will open a clean room for Miss Sun and send her to sleep." Ning Ningsheng looked at Sun Shining's clear eyes, this woman's heart was as clean as an innocent child, but she could see through everything at all, which was the most rare, "Don't dislike Liuma is a small place." ”
"What kind of stupid thing are you talking about, the sister of the Sun family and Shen Shaoqing have already settled in Liuma for the night, where will they be disgusted!" Xiuniang's two fingers twisted twice next to his ear, deliberately leaving such an intriguing ambiguous sentence, she understood that the parties would not speak out to refute, just to let Ningxia Sheng uproot the little seedlings that rose in her heart, so as not to block herself in the future.
Sure enough, Sun Shining didn't even explain half a word, got up and saluted the two people present, followed Xiuniang upstairs, and walked to the end of the corridor on the second floor. ”
Sun Shining's eyes lifted and said, "What you said is the truth, not too much." ”
Since there is a ready-made shield, she is happy to watch Xiuniang charge into battle and block in front of her, which is better than her racking her brains to think about how to avoid the chase of Ning Ningsheng's sight.
"Are you really angry?"
"Sister Xiuniang, General Ning's personality is too straightforward, and others may not be able to withstand the style in the barracks." That is, you especially regard him as a treasure, but just because of the title he holds, there should be many people who rush forward one after another, I heard that General Ning had already said in front of the emperor that he would not marry in this life, and said with a smile that if someone must live with him regardless of his name, he doesn't mind so much.
I'm afraid that the emperor's face at that time was green with anger, and the emperor could manage the heavens and the earth, and he couldn't care whether a dignified general of Zhenyuan was willing to marry a wife, not to mention that the reason in his mouth was really high-sounding, if he didn't completely drive Shun Tianren away for a day, how could he talk about the trivial matter of starting a family.
So, the emperor could only grit his teeth and swallow blood, not only could not blame, but also in front of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Haosheng praised General Ning, saying that his loyalty was commendable, and he added two more titles, was promoted to the year, and lost his wife and soldiers in vain.
Xiuniang heard Sun Shining say bluntly that Ningxia was not born, but her heart was sweet, that is, all of you who don't know the goods are good, of course, even she thinks that Shen Shaoqing is really good, young and handsome, in an important position, she is still in love with Miss Sun, and she takes care of her everywhere, if it is her, Xiuniang purses the corners of her mouth and laughs, if it is her, she will still choose Ningxia Sheng.
In the past, she was still young, and she heard others call men and women enemies, and she didn't know what was going on, until she met the destined person, and she understood how many different emotions were hidden in these two words of understatement, and only those who had experienced it could understand.
Sun Shining really didn't have as much thought as Xiuniang, and she lay down on the bed with clothes, and it was inconvenient for her to return home at this time, so she took a nap for the time being, and waited until dawn to leave.
