Chapter 7: The Dead (3)
Time is like a brush, like a splash of cold water, brushing Xiaomu's past clean and diluting the memory.
I don't know if Ye Yu can still recognize her, but Xiao Mu can't recognize him.
"Give me a basin of hot water, a clean towel, and a clean white cloth," Xiao Mu said softly to the general as he put down the medicine box.
As soon as she entered the door, she looked at Ye Yu, but there was no excitement in her eyes, revealing the same temperature as treating other patients.
"It's hard enough to beat people like this. Xiao Mu said while wiping Ye Yu's wound with a hot towel.
The general said: "Fortunately, I found it in time, if it was a little later, he would really be regarded as a fine work, and the end would be even worse." ”
"It's all about defending the country, I understand. ”
"How's his injury?
"It's not in the way, just put on some gold cream, change the medicine once a day, and you should be able to scar in less than a month. ”
"Sir, there is something I have to discuss with you, and I ask you not to talk about my friend. ”
Mr. Yan understood and guessed that this patient was really from Xu Guo, otherwise he would not be regarded as a fine work, so he said: "General rest assured." ”
The general clenched his fists deeply and said with a smile: "There is Mr. Lao, thank you." ”
Mr. Yan waved his hand and said, "The general's words are serious, I should thank you for being able to run a small medical hall here to make a living, and it all depends on the general's care." After speaking, Mr. Yan got up and packed the medicine box.
The general said: "If Mr. doesn't dislike it, just eat here and leave." ”
Mr. Yan said: "Don't bother, there are still patients in the hospital." ”
The general took out a string of copper coins and handed it to Mr. Yan, saying, "This is the consultation fee, Mr. smiled." ”
Mr. Yan hurriedly excused himself and said hurriedly: "No, in the past, I entrusted the general to take care of it, and this consultation fee cannot be collected." ”
How could a weak woman push a man with a big waist and a round waist, the general forced it into her medicine box, and said with a smile: "Sir often comes to my account to treat the wounds and diseases of the brothers, it is not me who takes care of you, it is Sir who takes care of us." ”
The general personally sent Mr. Yan out of the door, bypassing the rockery and through the courtyard.
Walking through the long corridor, the sunlight passed through the fence and was printed on Mr. Yan's dilapidated medicine box, the general looked at the people around, lowered his voice, and asked Mr. Yan mysteriously, "Sir, what did you think about what I asked you before?"
When Mr. Yan heard this, he seemed to be taken aback, and avoided the general's gaze by speeding up his pace, and hurriedly said, "Let me think about it again." ”
The general said: "Sir is well aware of the righteousness, and he must consider it carefully." ”
He watched the back of Mr. Yan's departure until she disappeared into the bustling street, and then turned around, which was the highest courtesy he had for his guests.
The sun sparkled his armor and he was heroic, but the occasional moment of uneasiness between his brows seemed to tell him many secret secrets.
When Ye Yu woke up, the general had already prepared a table of exquisite dishes for him.
Unlike in the past, when he ate big fish and meat, he ate it exquisitely, and the vegetables were cut neatly and the length was the same. The chestnut duck soup is thick but not greasy, and the chestnuts are round and full, which is obviously carefully selected. The roast beef is tender and fragrant, and I don't know how long it has been marinated. A few cold dishes with lo-mei are also very particular, using soup that is more than ten years old, and even the cucumbers and coriander used for decoration on the plate are also made by old chefs.
The wine is no longer the spirits that were often drunk in the dart game in the past, but a pot of refreshing and elegant sake, and the small wine bottle seems to tell the guests that it is enough to stop, drink it elegantly, and taste it is three points of drunkenness.
This table of exquisite dishes that would only appear in the Confucian Mansion now appeared in the General's Mansion, Ye Yu couldn't help but smile slightly.
The colorless and transparent sake was poured into the small wine glass of mutton fat jade, Ye Yu put down the wine glass without hurry after drinking a glass, and said with a smile: "It's only been ten years, you seem to have changed, this wine is not strong at all." ”
The general laughed and said: "That's because I wasn't sensible before, but in the past few years, I have only discovered that it is much more comfortable to stop when I am drunk than to be drunk." The same goes for meat, you don't have to eat it in large bites, you eat it in small bites, and you can also drink soup in small bites, which is actually very pleasant. ”
Ye Yu said: "No wonder, it turned out that I was too particular about eating and drinking, so I ate so fat now." ”
The general smiled: "Yes, I used to eat meat and drink a lot, three meals a day, and the meat didn't grow at all." On the contrary, now I eat and drink carefully, I have a snack in the afternoon, I have a supper in the evening, I eat six or seven meals a day, but I eat fat, you say it's funny or not. ”
"It's funny indeed. Ye Yu smiled and said: "After all, you used to be a dart walker, you came and went in the wind and rain, and you couldn't eat or drink well." Now that you are a great general, you can order others to cook you the best food. ”
After the meal, Ye Yu knew that the general's attention was far more than that.
The ginseng tea of Changbai Mountain is moderately sweet, Ye Yu can't say the variety, and it is extremely precious in comparison. Even the bamboo skewers used for tooth flossing are very valuable bamboo.
The general and Ye Yu sat on the tea table, and the tea boy kneeling on the ground filled water in the purple clay pot for them.
After being full of wine and food, Ye Yu drank a few sips of tea, thought about it, and still asked: "How did you become this general?"
Hearing this, the general waved his hand to tell the tea boy who was kneeling on the ground to step back, he stood up and slowly took off his clothes.
Together with his bronzed flesh, Ye Yu's eyes were countless scars, including arrow wounds, knife wounds, and burns.
"Now, do you know how I became this general?" asked the general as he put on his clothes, his tone flat, as if yesterday's Jin Ge Iron Horse was long gone, and there was only the endless glory and wealth in front of him.
Ye Yu nodded: "It turns out that you said that there have been bad times in the past ten years, and you are referring to these injuries." ”
"It's not bad, this injury is nothing, and no one can die. ”
"So what's bad about it?"
"When my brother who was in the army with me died in battle. The general put down the teacup and said earnestly: "There are fifty or sixty people who came out of the dart game with me, and these people have joined the army with me to defend the mountains and rivers of the country. My general's hat was bought with the blood of my brethren. Compared to these brothers buried in the ground, I'm doing well now. ”
Among these fifty or sixty people, there were naturally many people Ye Yu knew, and when they heard the news, they suddenly felt a burst of desolation, and they couldn't help coughing heavily.
The general frowned and said, "Your old problem is still not healed?"
Ye Yu smiled bitterly: "It's said that it's an old problem, and it can't be cured." ”
"I'll ask Mr. Yan to come over and see you another day. The general added: "When you fell asleep in the afternoon, it was Mr. Yan who showed you the injury and prescribed the prescription, and she is a famous doctor here." ”
Ye Yu said: "Then I have a chance, I must thank this Mr. Yan." ”
The general said: "It took me five years to become a small infantry leader, that is, five years ago, Xu Guo's iron cavalry hit here, I arrived with men and horses, relieved the siege of the city, guarded here, and appeased the people. ”
Ye Yu was very pleased, because compared with ten years ago, the biggest change in the general was not the extravagance of wine and meat in front of him, but that he gave up revenge and his obsession with Tang Jianli. Maybe the brothers died tragically, but at least they died fighting for the country, and their glorious deeds will be written in the annals of history by the historians of the patriotic state, and the celebrities will be immortal.
It is not in vain that he will be a big husband who knows how to let go of hatred, and be a good man who protects his family and defends the country.
"Come, I've got something for you. The general said to Ye Yu as he got up.
