Liu Qi's eyes dimmed as he thought of his hometown.
He hadn't thought about his family for a long time.
"There are five brothers in my family."
Because I was the youngest in my family, I never met my grandparents after I was born.
When I was very young, my father was forced to go to war.
Later, my father died in battle, and my mother fell ill as a result.
Zhao Juan: "Why are you telling me all this?" They don't seem to know each other well.
Liu Qi seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps recounting past events to Zhao Juan.
He suddenly remembered the past and had to get it off his chest.
"When the conscription came again, my eldest and second eldest brothers were drafted into the army one after the other. I had just been born at that time."
My mother named me Liu Qifu (刘祈福) in prayer for my elder brothers' early return, hoping for their blessings and safe return.
However, once they went to the military camp, they disappeared without a trace.
Until news of their deaths arrived.
Zhao Juan: "Your mother definitely can't stand it."
"A few years later, my third and fourth brothers were both conscripted into the army."
My mother couldn't bear the blow and fell ill. She passed away when I was six years old.
I was left all alone in my family, becoming God's abandoned child.
Therefore, everyone called me Liu Qi, and over time, my name became Liu Qi.
When I was thirteen, I volunteered to join the army, hoping to find my older brothers and father. In my heart, I always held onto a sliver of hope that they were still alive.
However, it has not been found.
"You've really had a tough time," Zhao Juan said, feeling a sense of shared misfortune as she listened to Liu Qi's story. "And then what happened?"
No, Liu Qi sounded like he was in an even worse situation than her.
However, Liu Qi usually appears relaxed and at ease.
"Later, I became a deserter." Liu Qi smiled self-deprecatingly: "Juan'er, my life is in your hands now, you can't betray me."
"How could that be?"
"Since we both have such pitiful backgrounds, why don't we stick together for warmth?"
"But I have said before that I have been married."
"As long as you don't mind me, I'm willing to live with you. Are you willing?"
Zhao Juan fell silent. She wondered if this man would be as heartless as the last one.
Unable to hear a reply, Zhao Qi silently moved away and continued to help Old Man Zhao write the prescription.
These past few days, Qiu Yan and Gu Xiaoran have been staying at the inn every day, deliberately avoiding He Lin.
He Lin and Qin Feng's reunion in Baiyang made Qiu Yan uneasy.
So, she disguised herself as a man once again.
The following day, Qiu Yan made an appointment with her aunt and uncle to move on the same day.
After a busy day, we finally finished moving this house.
Qiu Yan also completely withdrew from the Zhang family's courtyard.
The new courtyard is very large, and the activity space is also quite spacious. Gu Xiaoran is the happiest of all.
After Qiu Yan finished moving, she went directly to Huaiyuan with her aunt and second uncle to prepare to buy another pharmacy.
These days, whenever she has a moment of free time, she can't help but think about the border war, so she has to keep herself busy.
Since He Lin was in Baiyang, Qiu Yan took Gu Xiaoran with her when she left, and they played hide-and-seek with He Lin.
It was Gu Xiaoran's first time going out with Qiu Yan, and her face was beaming with a happy smile the whole way.
Qiu Yan was always accompanied by Zhu Juan.
Zhu Juan had long regarded Gu Xiaoran as a part of her life, and her mission in life was to take good care of her little master.
Having learned from her previous experience, Qiu Yan found it much easier to buy a shop this time.
