Chapter 210 Miss Him
The dream replayed the moment when she was in despair in Qi Village and suddenly saw Ji Changqing appear.
After a brief moment of surprise, she still ran towards Ji Changqing.
But when she reached Ji Changqing, she did not stop, but threw herself straight into his arms and hugged him tightly.
The crisp cypress scent, warm chest and steady heartbeat quickly soothed her flustered emotions.
She felt extremely safe and secure.
Like a young swallow that flies back to its nest with difficulty through a violent storm and crawls under the wings of its parent bird, it is filled with joy and excitement.
Ji Changqing raised his hand to hug her back. The moment he touched her waist, a tremor instantly spread throughout her body, waking her up.
Realizing that she was sweating, she fumbled for a tinder, lit a candle, got up, changed her underwear, and then lay down again.
The scene in her dream flashed through her mind again and again.
Is she so attached to Ji Changqing?
She actually threw herself into his arms.
People are indeed very vulnerable when they are sick. A person who has been without a father or mother since childhood actually becomes attached to his mother.
She got up, boiled a pot of water, took a dose of tranquilizer, and soon fell asleep.
Because I went to bed late and was still sick, it was already noon when I woke up.
Wuhua brought in a bowl of meat and vegetable porridge and two stir-fries. She knew it was Ji Changqing's cooking as soon as she smelled it.
I thought to myself, no wonder she is attached to Ji Changqing.
Who can not be attached to such a caring cook?
If she had such a cook as her dowry, she would not even need a dowry.
After lunch, she felt much better. She heard that many civilians who had escaped from the rebel-occupied county had come to the outside of the city, so she returned to the medical team and continued to treat the patients.
These refugees had been traveling for many days and were extremely weak. Many of them were infected with dysentery. They were too busy to handle the situation and had to recruit many doctors from the local area.
Even so, he still went out before dawn every day and returned to the yamen late at night.
Ji Changqing was away from the yamen for several days because he was busy building a canal to divert water into the river. Feng Qingsui only remembered that he had not seen him for a long time after he finished eating the last bottle of pickles he sent him at noon that day.
"I haven't seen the Second Master for a few days. I miss him so much."
She said to Wuhua.
Wuhua: "Do you miss the food he cooked, or the man himself?"
Feng Qingsui: “…”
I guess both.
Although I would like more dishes.
She yawned, leaned against the stone, rested her head on the stone slab, and closed her eyes.
After sleeping for about a quarter of an hour, half asleep and half awake, she suddenly felt something heavy on her body, as if someone had covered her with clothes.
She thought it was streaky, so she didn't open her eyes.
After a few breaths, her hair seemed to be touched by someone, and warm fingertips accidentally brushed across her forehead, and her sleepiness disappeared immediately.
Wuhua was afraid of disturbing her sleep, so she never did her makeup and hair while she was sleeping.
Just as I was about to open my eyes, the familiar scent of cypress permeated my nose.
"Second Master?"
She suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Ji Changqing who had just withdrawn his hand.
Ji Changqing didn't expect her to wake up at this time. He froze for a moment before saying, "Did I wake you? I saw a flower stamen fell in your hair, so I picked it up for you."
Feng Qingsui inexplicably sensed a sense of guilt in the voice.
Are you treating her like Sanhuang again?
She looked down at the clothes he covered himself with. It was a blanket, which should be from his carriage.
"Thank you, Second Master." She smiled slightly and sat up straight. "Second Master, have you finished repairing the canal?"
Ji Changqing nodded slightly: "It has been planned. Just leave it to Qu Mingzhang to take care of it. We can probably set off for the next county tomorrow."
"The next county town..." Feng Qingsui frowned, "The one that was occupied by the Chengtian Army?"
Ji Changqing said yes.
Feng Qingsui sighed softly: "It looks like we're going to have a tough battle."
The Chengtian Army was different from bandits like Yan San who would burn, kill, loot, eat, drink and have fun after occupying a city. After occupying the city, they recruited young and strong civilians into the team, expanded its size, and then launched an attack on the surrounding counties.
There are thirteen counties in Hezhou. The Jin River burst its banks and flooded three of them. Of the remaining ten counties, seven are in the hands of the Chengtian Army.
That is to say, except for Yunhuai County and Hong County on the border of Qingzhou and Liang County which was isolated and surrounded by floods, all other counties were captured by the Chengtian Army.
The third battalion they brought from the capital had only 5,000 people, and each county of the Chengtian Army had 3,000 to 5,000 people.
Ji Zhangqing said calmly: "A mob is vulnerable to attack."
Feng Qingsui: “???”
Is this looking down on the Chengtian Army or looking down on the Third Battalion of the Capital?
"In a head-on battle, even 10,000 Chengtian troops would be no match for the Third Battalion of the Capital Division," Ji Changqing said. "If... my eldest brother were in command, 5,000 troops would be enough to defeat the 50,000 Chengtian troops."
Feng Qingsui: “…”
But your elder brother...is gone.
The commanders of the Third Battalion of the Capital are Admiral Xuan and you.
Seeing that she was hesitant to speak, Ji Changqing guessed what she was thinking and a smile flashed across his eyes.
"Just wait and see. If they don't take the people as hostages, they can capture a city in a day."
Feng Qingsui raised his eyebrows: "What if they take the people as hostages?"
"It's just one more day."
“…”
So confident.
"Then I'll wait and see."
She said with a smile.
Ji Changqing gave a few instructions and turned back to the city.
Feng Qingsui no longer felt sleepy and walked towards the medical tent, ready to continue treating the patients.
Unexpectedly, someone called out, "Doctor Feng, please stay."
She turned her head and looked at Pei Yunzhan, who was walking towards her with a frown on his face, with a look of surprise on her face: "Master Pei, is there something wrong?"
Pei Yunzhan was silent for a moment before speaking: "You are not legitimate after all, so you should be careful with your words and actions outside."
Feng Qingsui: “???”
"What do you mean?"
She asked in confusion.
"What do you mean by improper?"
Pei Yunzhan stared into her eyes, trying to find evidence that she was pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he only saw clear doubt.
Didn’t she have an affair with Ji Changqing?
But they were being so affectionate all day long... No, it seemed like Ji Changqing was the one who overstepped the boundaries every time, and she... was completely unaware of the intimacy and just responded naturally?
Doesn’t she know what Ji Changqing is thinking?
Thinking of her background and her abilities, he suddenly understood that she might have been oblivious to the world outside since she was a child, and was only focused on studying the Qing Nang Book. She knew nothing about the etiquette and rules of interpersonal relationships, and had no idea that Ji Changqing had committed indecent acts.
Ji Changqing was clearly taking advantage of her by relying on his status!
"Ordinary men and women wouldn't be as close as you, especially a widowed sister-in-law and a brother-in-law."
He softened his tone.
"You two should avoid suspicion when you're in a melon field or a plum tree. If you get too intimate, it will inevitably lead to misunderstandings if others see you."
After Feng Qingsui heard this, it was as if someone suddenly struck a temple bell in his ears. The sound of "dong" was deafening.
She suddenly understood something.
"Thank you, Master Pei, for the reminder."
She said gratefully.
"One word from you is worth ten years of reading."
Pei Yunzhan was dazzled by her smile and felt a little guilty.
He had previously questioned and slandered a person with such a pure mind. He really had a block in his eyes and could not see the bright moon.
"You're welcome, I was just saying it casually."
Feng Qingsui said solemnly: "No, your advice is very important to me."
If Pei Yunzhan hadn't said it, she would have thought she was in love with her mother, but it turned out that she was coveting Ji Changqing.
