On the day of departure, Lin Zijun was like a puppet, holding the carriage blankly. He felt a little resentful but had no place to vent. After all, it was Ye Yan who suggested going, and he always listened to Ye Yan. Alas!
"Okay, Sister Wanwan said that when we get back from here, she will take us out to play in a few days." Ye Yan sat next to Lin Zijun, touched his head, and patiently stroked his fur, as if she was petting a cat.
Lin Zijun still didn't say anything, but his ears were already red. He pulled the reins uncomfortably and said stubbornly, "Who cares?"
"You don't care, but I do. After I teach Shi Bo, I will quit the school. Let's go find Sister Xiaowu. How about that?" Ye Yan still stared at Lin Zijun with a smile.
Lin Zijun hummed, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible. The next second he said uncomfortably, "Then you go in first. It's not safe outside."
"You will protect me, won't you?" Ye Yan raised her head and asked, looking at the surrounding scenery, feeling particularly good.
The carriage moved forward in an orderly manner. Ye Yan, who seldom went out, admired the ever-changing scenery with great interest. Lin Zijun kept an eye on the carriage and Ye Yan, fearing that something might happen.
"Master Sui Xin, we're at the place you mentioned." Lin Zijun looked at the cliff in front of him, stopped the carriage, and expressed that he didn't quite understand.
This place didn't seem like a place with many people. Could it be that he was getting confused and pointed the wrong way? Anyway, he was following the crude map.
Bai Qingwu got off the carriage and felt timid for the first time. How should he face these former subordinates?
"What's wrong, Lao Bai?" Shi Huan patted Bai Qingwu's shoulder, mumbling casually, but more like intentionally, "Heroes are made by the times."
Bai Qingwu was stunned for a moment and muttered, "What is a hero?"
"You have to be able to take it, and also be able to let it go." As he said that, Shi Huan called a group of people to get on the carriage, leaving only Bai Qingwu standing outside.
He had an impression of General Bai Qingwu, otherwise he would not have agreed to come here.
In his opinion, those who served the country would always be treated more favorably than others. Although Shi Huan did not like the directors very much, he also admired this group of people.
Bai Qingwu was silent for a moment, then turned around and put his hand on the horse's back. The horse seemed to sense something, turned around and rubbed his hand affectionately. Although they had never had much contact before, the horse was full of trust.
"Let's go, buddy." Bai Qingwu seemed to see another scene through the horse's eyes. It was the battlefield where he had spent most of his life.
Bai Qingwu drove the carriage, slightly adjusted the angle, and actually crashed straight into the cliff. However, the expected tragedy did not happen. What came into view was another road. Compared with the outside, this road with flowers on both sides was wider and more beautiful.
"The general is here to see us, the general is here to see us." The man in charge of guarding jumped down from the tree, raised the bow and arrow in his hand, turned around and ran away.
Bai Qingwu had no time to speak and could only watch the man walk further and further away. He shook his head helplessly and followed behind in the carriage. Looking at the fields that were obviously carefully tended, tears welled up in his eyes.
These were all his former comrades! Back then, he had hoped to exchange his numerous military exploits for a stable life for them, but it was all in vain.
"Qingwu, I understand your feelings, but the national treasury is empty. What's the point of supporting a bunch of useless people?" When he thinks of what Di Guang translated that day, his blood still runs cold.
Maybe at that time, he and Tei Guangyi were already people on two different paths. A bunch of useless people. In his eyes, the soldiers who fought for the country were a bunch of useless people!
With mixed feelings in his heart, Bai Qingwu drove the carriage a lot faster. Now that they were in, he wanted to see them earlier to see how they were doing and whether they were feeling better.
This was also the reason why he brought Shi Huan here. He wanted to ask a reliable doctor to help regulate their bodies. He didn't ask for a new life, but just wanted to make the rest of their lives less difficult.
The peach blossoms here are still in full bloom, interspersed with a few willow trees. There are about dozens of households, all of which have wisps of smoke rising from their chimneys.
In the open space in the middle, a number of people, young and old, gathered together, all enjoying themselves. However, many of them were holding sticks, and quite a few were not very healthy...
"We're here. I'll take you there." Bai Qingwu stopped the carriage and helped the people in the carriage to move their things down. He freed the horses and fed them some grass before following the crowd and walking towards the open space.
There was an old veteran who had followed Bai Qingwu for a long time. He smiled and talked about his great achievements on the battlefield and answered the questions of the young children over and over again. Although these things may have been said many times, he still did not get tired of it.
After another round of pleasantries, Bai Qingwu naturally turned the topic to medical treatment. When talking about the sequelae of old injuries left on the battlefield, everyone fell silent for a while.
No one is a fool. People are all made of flesh and blood. When people's hearts turn cold, it is the real downfall of a dynasty.
In the room that had been cleared out for use as a clinic, the man called Old Wu subconsciously retracted his legs and said, "Old Bai, don't scare the girl."
"It's okay, Uncle Wu. Don't look at our young age. We are actually very good doctors." Ye Yan explained patiently with a calm expression.
Shi Huan, who always believed in keeping his distance, took the initiative to speak, "How about letting me take a look first?"
"Okay, then leave it to Uncle Shi." Ye Yan noticed the awkward atmosphere and did not force it. It was normal for the two girls to be a little concerned about their bodies since they were here.
The most important thing is that Shi Huan is a pragmatic person. She always says what she can do and what she can't do. She is relieved and doesn't have to worry about others trying to show off their abilities and she has to clean up the mess.
Old Wu was still a little embarrassed, but he couldn't bear to reject Bai Qingwu's kindness. What's more, he also wanted to stand up again, and the recent poison seemed to be unable to be suppressed.
The two legs that Old Wu exposed had completely shriveled up, leaving only a layer of skin and bones, with patches of bruises and bloodless areas, and even some black areas.
"Do you feel anything?" Shi Huan observed it carefully and pinched it hard. Asked.
Old Wu shook his head, his expression unchanged. "I used to be afraid of pain, but now I think that pain is a good thing. At least it makes me feel alive."
