Commander Yuan bent down and slowly placed the wooden box in his hand next to Gu Qian's pillow.
"Miss Qiu Yan said that this jade pendant can ward off evil and protect peace. General, for Miss Qiu's true feelings, you must not be harmed."
Throughout the entire process, Ling Qi and Qiu Dafu watched quietly.
Qiu Dafu thought of Xiao Yan, and he didn't know what to feel.
Captain Yuan asked the old army doctor,
"How are your injuries, General?"
The old military doctor pursed his lips: "General, you are a lucky man, and Heaven will always protect you."
Lieutenant Yuan stood up. "Seventh Lieutenant, please give the order. When shall we engage the enemy in a decisive battle?"
Ling Qi thought of the gunpowder that Captain Yuan had brought back: "Let's talk outside."
He was the first to leave the camp, followed closely by Colonel Yuan.
Inside the tent, silence returned.
Qiu Dafu tiptoed to Gu Qian's bedside.
He crouched down, gently picked up the wooden box beside his pillow, and examined it carefully.
Xiaoyan is so thoughtful.
"Gu Qian, do you know? Xiao Yan is always thinking about you. Can you bear to let Xiao Yan see you like this? Wake up, wake up!"
Second Uncle, Gu Qian, felt heavy-hearted, and the pain made him frown slightly.
He thought he heard his second uncle calling him to wake up.
"Gu Qian, Gu Qian... wake up, Xiao Yan will be here soon. She said she's coming to find you. She's coming to find you. If you don't wake up, she'll be heartbroken."
My second uncle's earnest voice echoed around the bedside.
Yan Yan, will you really come?
No, don't come...
He tried hard to open his eyelids, but he couldn't open them at all.
"Gu Qian, you once proposed to me, wanting to marry Xiao Yan. How can you marry her in this state?"
If you don't wake up soon, I will marry her off to someone else.
Second Uncle, you can't marry her off to someone else... Yan Yan, Yan Yan...
Gu Qian finally opened his eyes.
The first thing I said when I woke up was,
Is it already dark?
"General, the general is awake." Qiu Dafu looked up at the sky and saw the bright sunlight shining down. His eyes were a little sore.
The old military doctor rushed to the bedside immediately, "General, God bless us, God bless us!"

Qingyun Town, Qiu Residence
Jiang Liu sat on the swing set in the courtyard, stroking her seven-month pregnant belly, her heart filled with intense longing for Qiu Dafu.
Strangely, the closer she gets to her due date, the more vulnerable she becomes.
Qiu Dafu, when will you finally return?
Have you forgotten me?
I ignored all the gossip and rumors to be with you, so why did you leave and never come back?
Do you know that our baby will be born in two months?
I'm still waiting for you to name the baby.
Behind her, Cuizhu pushed the swing frame back and forth, offering words of comfort, but she didn't know how to express them.
Her daughter is so pitiful.
Son-in-law, you've been gone for more than half a year. Have you ever thought about how Miss feels?
"Second Aunt, Ling'er is here with you." Qiu Ling'er stepped forward, repeating the same words she had said before.
She gently touched Jiang Liu's round belly and smiled sweetly at her, "The baby is moving."
Her resentment towards her second uncle deepened.
She missed her second uncle, and also her sister.
She sat on the swing set next to Jiang Liu, feeling a little like crying.
But in front of her second aunt, she had to be strong; she couldn't cry; she had to always keep smiling.
That way, my second aunt's mood will improve.
My sister once said that feelings are contagious.
"Second Aunt, Second Uncle and Sister will be back soon." Qiu Xu also stepped forward.
Since it was his day off, he went home to stay.
