The military doctor arrived quickly. I don’t know what the gossipy soldier on the road said to him, but after coming in and looking at Gu Nianchen’s back, the military doctor looked at him with an expression that said, “I understand.”
He was smart enough not to say much, but quickly and skillfully helped Gu Nianchen disinfect, apply medicine, and then bandage it. Then he stood up, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"What's wrong?" Seeing the military doctor's expression, Bai Luoyu thought that Gu Nianchen's injury had worsened, so he asked with some concern.
"That's right, it's best not to let Boss Chen lie on his back. This position is not conducive to wound recovery. If you really want to, you can lie on your stomach. Just don't touch the wound with your hands." The military doctor's wording was as rigorous as possible.
Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu were also stunned by what they heard. An awkward atmosphere filled the room. Bai Luoyu's neck even turned red. He didn't say anything, just nodded, and let the military doctor leave.
Gu Nianchen almost couldn't help laughing when he saw Bai Luoyu's embarrassed look. He didn't care at all whether others misunderstood him as the top or the bottom. As long as his wife was honest, it was fine. Gu Nianchen pretended not to understand and asked Bai Luoyu jokingly.
"What did the military doctor mean? I don't quite understand."
Bai Luoyu felt even more embarrassed after hearing this. He coughed twice and said, "Nothing. I just told you to sleep on your stomach. Don't lie down. It will be troublesome if the wound worsens."
"Really? Why do I feel like what he said is so... weird?" Gu Nianchen wanted to laugh even more when he saw Bai Luoyu deliberately trying to avoid his gaze, so he continued to tease him.
"What's so strange? Can we leave?" Bai Luoyu didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him, so he asked with a stern face.
Seeing that his wife was about to get angry, Gu Nianchen decided to stop while he was ahead and stood up boldly: "This little injury is nothing. I'm more than enough to beat you up."
"Hmph, I won't fight with the wounded. I'll wait until you get better and then beat you until you call me daddy." Bai Luoyu snorted, then pulled open the curtain and walked out.
"Let's see who calls me daddy then." Gu Nianchen grabbed the clothes hanging on the bedside and followed him out.
When he went out, he found that all the previous tents had been removed, and his was the only lonely tent around the entire meadow.
I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart. Although Bai Luoyu was harsh in words and seemed even more straightforward than me, he was actually quite delicate at heart.
He even knew to let himself sleep well and didn't wake himself up. No wonder those soldiers noticed something was wrong. Only he thought he had kept it a secret well.
"Why are you walking so fast? Wait for me." Gu Nianchen shouted at Bai Luoyu who was walking fast in front of him, and followed him with two steps.
"Aren't you hungry? Hurry up." Bai Luoyu said this, but he slowed down his pace a little until Gu Nianchen caught up.
Gu Nianchen finally had some time alone with his wife, so how could he stop talking? He kept asking questions all over the place, just wanting to hear Bai Luoyu say a few more words.
Also, I want to hear about his next arrangements so that I can go back and arrange the affairs of Baoxing Village. In short, he is definitely the captain of the guard.
If Bai Luoyu wanted to continue expanding, he would hand over Baoxing Village to a reliable person and follow him out.
If he wants to just guard Hushan City, then he can just follow him here and take care of Baoxing Village at the same time.
Bai Luoyu's original plan was to capture a city, otherwise the troops would have no place to stay. Lishu Town was too small to accommodate more than 20,000 people.
So this Hushan City is just right. After Li Dapao's men were killed or captured last night, they have all been stationed here.
Although Hushan City is very large, it does not have many residents, and they have become numb to the replacement of garrison troops.
Fortunately, even the troops stationed here before would clean up every house and take away any good things.
But from last night to this morning, Bai Luoyu and his companions were hiding in their homes and did not dare to come out, but no soldier came to harass them.
Before breakfast, Bai Luoyu went door to door to notify everyone and asked them to gather in the square in the morning.
This frightened the villagers, who thought that this group of people did not want food or drink and wanted lives, so they all kowtowed to the soldiers who delivered the message. The soldiers had a hard time persuading them.
After Gu Nianchen and Bai Luoyu finished their meal, they went to the square together and placed a tall bag of grain behind Bai Luoyu.
"Fellow villagers, my name is Bai Luoyu. I'm sorry to have frightened you yesterday. From now on, Hushan Town will be taken over by my troops. I have only one goal, which is to protect your safety and let us live a stable and happy life. My soldiers will not take a single meter or piece of firewood from you, so please rest assured. Next, we will collect food based on the number of people. Everyone line up and each person will receive five pounds. This is what Li Dapao left behind. If it's not enough, I will provide the rest and ensure that everyone has something, okay?"
After Bai Luoyu finished speaking, the folks in the audience looked at each other, not daring to step forward, and some were whispering.
Gu Nianchen understood the mentality of these people. They had been bullied for so many years and had always snatched things from them. When had they ever given anything to them? For a moment, he couldn't believe it.
"Listen to me, I'm Gu Nianchen from Baoxing Village. I guarantee that this Young Marshal Yu is different from those bastards before. Don't worry, come and get it quickly. Look at how skinny you all are. It's bad enough that the adults are not full, but the children must also be full. Don't just stand there, hurry up." Gu Nianchen showed his bandit posture and shouted loudly.
Bai Luoyu frowned as he listened. Standing next to Gu Nianchen, his ears were buzzing with his shouting.
But when the villagers in the audience heard Gu Nianchen, they were confused at first. Then someone shouted, "Boss Chen of Baoxing Village, that's right, I've seen him before. There was the bearded man before. Boss Chen is a good man. The villagers should trust Boss Chen, no matter who else they trust. He is a kind man."
"Master Chen, it was Baoxing Village that saved our village that year."
"Yes, my father's village was almost massacred, and it was Baoxing Village that rescued them."
"We believe in you, Master Chen."
Gu Nianchen also bowed to the people and pulled Bai Luoyu aside. Everyone started going home to get their pots and pans to collect the food.
"What do you think? Young man, experience is the key to success. Have you seen the prestige of the boss? Be more respectful to me in the future." Gu Nianchen put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows at Bai Luoyu.
"Hmph." Bai Luoyu rolled his eyes at him and left.
Gu Nianchen kicked the air twice behind him. Facing such an irritating person who was also "domestic violence" against his wife, he had no idea what to do.
