Qi Qi: "..." Kindness is often taken advantage of!
On one hand, he had to be careful in his relationships with people, and on the other hand, he dared not openly inquire about outside news. He could not go anywhere except the small courtyard. He was too busy and tired. Qi Qi's hands and feet were blistered many times. After a month, thin calluses grew on his hands.
Qi Qi had already secretly cried twice.
One time, I accidentally kicked a door with my foot that had just had a blister popped; another time, I accidentally pricked a needle with my hand that had just had a blister popped while patching clothes. It hurt so much, and since all ten fingers are connected to the heart, I couldn't help it.
"It's not a big problem, it's okay. Stay calm," Qi Qi reassured himself. As long as he wasn't dead, he had a chance to escape.
That day, Qi Qi was patching his clothes when the bearded man who had brought him there the other day arrived.
Looking at the ugly clothes that were crooked and looked like caterpillars, he said in silence, "...I heard you cried last night?"
Qi Qi quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no, I accidentally bumped my foot on the wall and it hurts."
Brother Beard remained silent and said, "Don't cry. We can't let you out yet. It's very chaotic outside right now. You can't go very far by yourself. Don't think about your former master either. We are a rebel army and will not allow royal lackeys to exist. If you're really bored, I'll take you for a walk around the neighborhood."
Qi Qi: ...What does this guy think we're crying about?
Forget about old or new owners, it would be great if we could just get some fresh air! Everyone's exhausted!
"Go! Go! Go!"
Qi Qi tossed his clothes aside and immediately approached Doctor Chen cautiously: "Mr. Chen, may I go for a walk?"
Dr. Chen handed him about ten more ledgers, smiling, "Okay, but remember to finish this within two days."
Qi Qi: "...Okay."
After a month, Qi Qi stepped out of the manor for the first time, his destination the stream behind the manor.
Qi Qi walked for a while and then couldn't walk anymore. He plopped down on a rock, put his feet in the stream, and never felt the air was so fresh or life so wonderful. If only Brother Hu wasn't watching him, and if he could find a way to escape, that would be even better.
Bearded Brother obviously had no idea what Qi Qi was thinking. He was a serious-looking man and the leader of the team. The small village was only used to house the wounded. He would come once a week to bring the wounded over. Today, for some reason, he had shaved off his big beard and looked quite young. Qi Qi almost didn't recognize him.
"Do you eat fish or not?"
Eat meat?!
Having not tasted meat for a month, Qi Qi's mouth was watering: "Eat, eat, eat!"
The bearded man, who was very skilled in martial arts, took off his coat and went down to fish. Qi Qi called out again, "Brother, be careful!"
The bearded man glanced back at him and continued calmly, "Hmm."
Qi Qi got caught up in the fun and rolled up his trousers to try and catch some fish. But his joy turned to sorrow when he slipped on a rock and cut his calf. Looking at the blood on his leg, Qi Qi stared at the sky in silence.
Could life get any sadder?
Brother Beard rushed over, hoisted Qi Qi onto his shoulder and was about to run, but Qi Qi resisted and turned the situation around to carry him on his back. He patted Qi Qi's back in protest, making him walk instead of running, at least preventing Qi Qi from being jostled to the point of vomiting.
As they re-entered the village, several tall horses galloped towards them from afar. Upon seeing them, Brother Beard was overjoyed and shouted, "General!"
Qi Qi turned around and his mind raced with thoughts of eight hundred alpacas. Sure enough, it was Gu Siyan.
He had known for a month that this army was called the Zhenbei Army, but he never expected that its influence had spread to Jiangnan. He also never expected that he was not in Youzhou, so why had he suddenly come to Jiangnan.
The adult Gu Siyan exudes an even stronger aura than before, like a beast awakening from its slumber. At first glance, the burgeoning ambition in his eyes is unstoppable.
Afraid that he would recognize him, Qi Qi hurriedly buried his head on the back of the bearded man, only turning the back of his head towards Gu Siyan.
Gu Siyan hadn't noticed this side at first, but the bearded man's sudden stiffness caught his attention.
For some reason, Gu Siyan felt that the rounded back of his head and profile looked familiar. His skin was very fair. Gu Siyan didn't think much of it, but his adjutant laughed and said, "Is Liu Zi carrying his wife on his back? His face is so red."
Bearded Guy: "No, it's from the sun."
Qi Qi quickly nudged him and whispered, "...Sixth Brother, hurry up and go, my legs hurt."
We can't get caught! Our godfather is still in the palace! And the Ninth Prince is there too!
Bearded Guy immediately walked inside.
It wasn't until evening that Qi Qi learned that Gu Siyan had come to reorganize his manpower along the waterways in the Jiangnan region and to sort out the accounts there.
Qi Qi knew this because Mr. Chen invited Qi Qi to dinner with Gu Siyan.
Qi Qi: "..."
...
In the evening, Mr. Chen was having a lively conversation with Gu Siyan, talking about the arithmetic expert he had acquired this month. He expressed great admiration for the talent and was planning to recommend him to his superior.
Gu Siyan has always been short of talent, and he is naturally very interested in talent that even other talented people praise.
Just as we were looking forward to meeting the talented person, someone came to say that the person had suddenly fallen ill with a fever and could not come.
Mr. Chen was shocked: "Sick? How could you suddenly get sick? Could it be because you went into the water and were exposed to the wind this afternoon?"
Seeing his great concern, Gu Siyan, as a good leader who was eager to find talented people and treated them with respect, immediately decided to go with him to see this young man who was said to be able to pass the imperial examination by relying on arithmetic.
But when he opened the door, he saw a person on the bed swinging his legs and eating wild fruit, and then he saw the fruit that he had suddenly dropped in fright.
Gu Siyan pondered for a moment: "Have we met somewhere before?"
Having successfully lost weight and transformed from a chubby child into a handsome young man, Qi Qi immediately lowered his voice and said, "I don't know you. Who are you?"
Gu Siyan narrowed his eyes: "You really haven't seen it before?"
Qi Qi: "May I ask who you are?"
Gu Siyan chuckled: "Then it's good to get to know each other today. This must be Qi Qi that Mr. Chen mentioned. I am Gu Siyan, the commander of the Zhenbei Uprising Army."
"hello."
Qi Qi: "Hello, hello."
