Chapter 10

Lu Ling never thought that he would join the military camp. After all, he no longer had any power and did not have any secrets.

Only the Xie family valued her and brought her to the military camp.

"Once the war starts, we don't know how long it will last." The old woman next to her lowered her head and said worriedly.

"Madam Liu, don't worry. Every time the army goes out, they always return safely," Fang Qianqian comforted.

Qingdai approached Lu Ling and said in a low voice, "Sister, I've never seen Fang Qianqian be so gentle."

Lu Ling shook Qingdai with his elbow, signaling her not to speak.

"Yes, General Xie is brave and good at fighting. The army will definitely return safely." said Mrs. Liu.

On this day, everyone in the military camp was waiting in their tents for the news of the army's victorious return.

The clouds rolled over one layer after another, and strands of light flowed out from the gaps in the clouds. Then the sun parted the clouds, and the originally dark sky instantly became bright.

With his feet treading on the muddy ground, his sleeves and legs rolled up, a long rifle in his hand, his hat tilted, and his forehead covered with sweat, he walked into the barracks and shouted, "The army has returned, prepare to pack up and get to work."

The originally silent military camp was broken by this sound, and everyone seemed to come alive, starting to work and pack up.

"Ouch, this time it's really fast."

"Yes, General Xie really lived up to everyone's expectations."

"That's right, General Xie, you've been fighting for ten years, that's not just talk."

A group of women were talking as they packed their things.

As night fell, the soldiers who had gone out to fight finally returned.

Lu Ling looked over from not far away from the military camp gate and saw Xie Yuwang commanding the soldiers.

The man held a sword in his hand, the blade was as black as ink, and he exuded a cold aura.

"Carry him in!" Xie Yuwang looked at the soldier with the injured leg and shouted to the people standing nearby, "Get the military doctor ready."

Just as Xie Yuwang was about to walk towards the tent, he saw Su Yun running up to him.

Su Yun held Xie Yuwang with both hands, turned him around, and was relieved to find that he was fine.

Lu Ling only heard Su Yun say, "Can you tell me before you leave next time?" As he said that, Su Yun punched Xie Yuwang.

Xie Yuwang took Su Yun's hand, held the slender hand between his two hands, then lowered his head and breathed on her.

Xie Yuwang looked up, his eyes filled with a tenderness Lu Ling had never seen before. He stared into Su Yun's eyes and said, "You still say you're not worried about me?"

Su Yun pulled his hand back and said proudly, "I'm not worried about you. I'm just worried that you'll die on the battlefield and no one will collect your body."

"Okay, okay, if you don't worry, then don't worry." Xie Yuwang grinned, smiling brightly.

"Why are your hands so cold?" Xie Yuwang pulled Su Yun's hand over and held it.

"I'll warm you up."

Lu Ling couldn't bear to watch and turned away.

Every step Lu Ling took saw a wounded person.

Whether it's a broken leg, a broken hand, or a bandaged head, everything looks so heavy.

Zhang Xunwen didn't arrange much for Lu Ling today, and Qingdai had disappeared somewhere. She had been nowhere to be seen, and Lu Ling unknowingly walked to the military doctor's office.

There is only one official military doctor in the barracks, but he has many apprentices. Although they look young, they are very organized and seem very experienced when bandaging the soldiers.

"Who are you?" a child came over and asked Lu Ling.

Lu Ling came back to his senses and said, "I'm from the logistics battalion, my name is Lu Ling."

"What are you doing here?"

"Let me see if there's anyone here who needs my help." Lu Ling said.

"Xiaobao, come and help."

The child hurried to the military doctor and helped him support the patient.

Lu Ling walked over and helped as well, saying to the military doctor, "Thank you, military doctor, for saving me a few days ago. Lu Ling is very grateful."

The military doctor didn't say anything, but just lowered his head to bandage the injured soldier.

When the meeting was over, the military doctor finally spoke, "Healing and saving lives is what doctors are supposed to do. Miss Lu, there's no need to say that."

Lu Ling stood up, followed the military doctor, and said, "Can I learn from the military doctor?"

The military doctor seemed a little surprised. He looked at Lu Ling and said, "You are a slave. Do you have time to learn?"

Lu Ling smiled and said, "Thanks to the young general, I have much less work to do since that old lady Fang is no longer in charge."

"Hahahahahahahaha." The old military doctor stroked his beard and laughed, "Then when are you free? Not many people want to study medicine these days. It's a lot of work, and it's tiring and hard. Only a few people can stick with it."

"I didn't expect that a woman like you would want to study medicine."

"I'm free every night." Lu Ling said.

"But I have something to say to the military doctor."

"What?"

"So what if I'm a woman? Can't women do the same work as men in this world? Men can study medicine, and so can women."

When these words came out, everyone present laughed. After a long while, the old military doctor said to Lu Ling: "Well said. I hope you can stick to it."

After Lu Ling finished speaking, he and the military doctor's apprentices bandaged the injured soldiers.

There was a bloody mess on his forehead, and the wound was still bleeding. The person on the stretcher was breathing rapidly, as if he would be taken away by God in the next second.

Lu Ling had never seen such a scene before and was shocked. He had no choice but to collect water in basin after basin to wipe the wounds of the injured soldiers.

The old military doctor took out a clean white cloth and stopped the bleeding.

Seeing the old military doctor's nervous look, Lu Ling didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just handed over whatever he was told to take.

It was already midnight when Lu Ling returned to the tent. Qingdai walked over when she saw Lu Ling coming back.

The tent was silent. Qingdai didn't dare to speak loudly. She lowered her voice and asked Lu Ling where he had been.

Lu Ling told Qingdai what had just happened and told her that he would go to the military doctor to learn and help in the evening, and asked her not to worry.

Since the young lady likes it, Qingdai won't say anything.

When it was time to go to bed, Lu Ling handed Qingdai something.

It's a peace locket.

The peace locket is not big, has rich color and feels very smooth.

"Miss, what is this?"

Lu Ling narrowed his eyes and said, "This is for you. I hope you can always be so happy."

“Miss, this was given to you by Master Shen,” Qingdai said.

Qingdai didn't wait for Lu Ling to answer. She turned around and saw that Lu Ling had fallen asleep.

Qingdai put the peace locket away and vowed not to lose her young lady's token of love.

Although Shen Wangyou was really annoying, her young lady really liked him, otherwise she wouldn't always follow him. She had never seen her young lady treat others so well, not even Master Xie, who grew up with her, could compare to her.

It started snowing outside at some point, weighing down the trees.

When Lu Ling woke up early in the morning, he saw a scene covered in silver.

They say it doesn't snow in the south, but it turns out that's a lie.

"Qingdai, what day is it today?" Lu Ling looked at the snow covering the ground outside.

"Miss, you are already eighteen today."

Lu Ling looked at the snow outside, a little absent-minded, his thoughts drifting back to a snowy day two years ago.

My feet were on the bluestone slabs, my shoes and socks were wet with snow, and I held an umbrella in my hand.

At the door of the pastry shop, a man in tattered clothes was begging the owner for some food.

"Get out of here! Don't block my business." The shop owner came out and chased the man away.

Lu Ling stopped and looked towards the door of the pastry shop.

The snow was falling harder and harder, and a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the ground. The man, wearing thin and torn clothes, hid in the corner and shivered.

Lu Ling approached the man and handed him the pastries he had just bought.

The man slowly raised his head and looked at Lu Ling, then snatched the pastry from Lu Ling's hand.

"Take your time, there's no rush. I have more here." As he said that, Lu Ling took out other pastries and handed them to the man.

This time the man didn't try to grab it, but just stared at Lu Ling blankly as he took the pastry from her hand.

The woman had a cherry mouth, eyebrows and eyes like spring willows, and eyes like autumn waves. She was wearing a light purple dress and a forged white cloak on the outside.

The corner of her mouth was slightly raised, and her hand blocked most of it, but Shen Wangyou still knew that she was smiling.

"Did something happen in your family? How could you, such a handsome man, end up begging?" Lu Ling asked.

"My family was robbed and they killed all my family members. I escaped at the risk of my life." Shen Wangyou still had the osmanthus cake given by Lu Ling stuffed in his mouth, and his speech was not very clear.

"Then why did you come to the capital?"

The capital city is heavily guarded and there are almost no robbers. The man in front of me must not be from the capital city if he says this.

"I, I originally wanted to come to the capital to seek help from my relatives, but when I got here I found out that my family had already moved away from the capital. I was penniless and had nowhere to go, so I had no choice but to beg in the capital."

After saying that, the man looked at Lu Ling with a pair of pitiful eyes.

"What's your name?"

"Shen Wangyou."

"Come on, I'll take you home."

This time, Shen Wangyou and Lu Ling returned to the Lu family.

Lu Ling had originally sneaked out. Originally, she would not be discovered if she sneaked back to the yard, but when she brought back such a big living person, Lu Ling's sneaking out was also discovered.

Master Lu became more and more happy when he saw Shen Wangyou, and immediately forgot about Lu Ling sneaking out.

The memories came to an abrupt end, and Lu Ling was stopped by Xie Yuwang.

Lu Ling looked over and saw Xie Yuwang standing in the snow, looking at her.

Lu Ling came to his senses and walked in front of Xie Yuwang.

"What are you thinking about, sister?"

Lu Ling glanced at Xie Yuwang and said impatiently, "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly."

"Sister, why are you so fierce?" Xie Yuwang pretended to be pitiful.

"Okay, I'm not mean, just talk about it."

"Sister, you don't have to do those rough jobs in the future. You just need to be responsible for serving tea and water."

Lu Ling was puzzled. It was impossible for slaves not to work.

"Why?" Lu Ling asked.

Xie Yuwang kept silent, which was Xie Heng's intention.

"Sister, isn't this great? You won't have to do those tiring jobs anymore. Ah Yun can't do them even if she wants to."

"Okay, I'll go when the time comes." After saying that, Lu Ling left.

Since there was nothing wrong, Lu Ling talked to Qingdai and then went to the military doctor.
