Soldiers 4
Chen Wanyue came to the wounded soldiers and received their sympathetic looks.
It was the captain's fault. They felt sorry that such a brave soldier was killed by his own people.
The parties involved didn't care.
The captain had washed his body and it was no longer itchy.
Arrived at the next station soon.
Shen Wanyue asked where the soldiers around her were.
The soldier named the place.
Is Xiaoya still here? I wonder how she would react when she knew that "Zhou Wan" was dead. She must be very sad.
She thought.
Why not... go and have a look? And ask Mr. Wu about his whereabouts. Who knows, he might have a solution.
After making up her mind, Shen Wanyue's direct superior, the captain, was arrested, so she had no choice but to find the general.
But he found out that the general had gone out and it was the person next to the general who was there.
"Something important?" he asked.
Chen Wanyue answered truthfully: "I have a relative here and I want to go take a look."
Everywhere we passed, there were soldiers saying this.
Normally, they would not release people, but Chen Wanyue’s situation was special.
So he got approval smoothly, "You must come back within an hour."
"yes."
With the approval letter in hand, Shen Wanyue relied on passers-by to guide her to the town.
On the way, I also asked passers-by if there was any trace of Mr. Wu nearby.
Passersby thought she came for treatment of eye disease and pointed out doctors. The one mentioned most often was Zhou Wan's Uncle Zhang.
Shen Wanyue came to the medicine shop first.
It happened that Doctor Zhang was seeing patients.
"Are you buying herbs or seeing a doctor?"
"I'm a doctor."
"The sign you are holding is for fifteen. It will be your turn when the name is called." Seeing that his eyesight was not good, the pharmacist reminded him.
"Yes, thank you."
"Please sit here first."
Shen Wanyue sat down and waited for her turn.
Judging from the sounds around me, Uncle Zhang didn't bring Xiao Ya here, so it seems that I won't be able to see Xiao Ya anymore.
Soon, it was her turn: "Fifteen!"
"I'm coming." She propped up the wooden stick and followed the guidance of someone to come to Uncle Zhang, but she couldn't see him.
"Look at the eyes?" Uncle Zhang's old voice came into my ears.
Shen Wanyue nodded and took off the cloth.
Uncle Zhang felt the pulse first, then looked at the turned-out eyelids. He showed no other emotions, which was not surprising after seeing it so often. He did not ask much about Chen Wanyue's outfit.
He held up Shen Wanyue's head and looked around, asking, "What's wrong?"
"It hurts. Sometimes it hurts so much that I can't sleep."
"I see the wound is fresh and has been treated. I'll reapply the medicine and prescribe some painkillers. You can go home and take them for five days. If it still hurts, come back." Doctor Zhang lowered his head to write a prescription.
Chen Wanyue thanked him and said, "I remember seeing a little girl when I came to get medicine before. She was lively and cute. Why didn't she see her today?"
There are many people coming to the pharmacy, and it is impossible for Dr. Zhang to remember everyone.
He often brought the little girl here before, hoping that she could learn a skill so that she could make a living in the future.
So he did not doubt Shen Wanyue and answered, "I'm at home today." Of course, he could not tell too many private matters to outsiders.
In fact, it was the young man who wrote to him before, saying that Zhou Wan had passed away and wanted to raise Xiao Ya by his side.
He liked Xiao Ya, but the boy seemed to be of extraordinary status, so he wanted to wait until they met in person to discuss the details.
It is expected to arrive today, so let Xiaoya stay at home.
"Oh, I see."
"Your prescription, go to your right and get the medicine."
"good."
Shen Wanyue propped herself up with a wooden stick and had problems grabbing the medicine.
"Thirty cents."
It seems that I don't have any money on me.
When she was with Zhou Wan before, she was taken care of by Jileta and others along the way, so she didn't care.
"Wait a moment." Shen Wanyue felt around her body and felt a purse, but it was completely weightless.
She looked very calm, and did not take out the empty purse. She said calmly to the person in front of her: "I'm sorry, my money was stolen, I don't want this medicine."
Seeing that she did not look like a poor woman, the servant said, "I will leave the medicine here first. You can go home to get money and come back to get it."
"Thank you very much."
Chen Wanyue turned and left, and the people around her automatically made way for her when they saw her eyes were covered.
Since I couldn't find Xiao Ya, I went to ask about Mr. Wu first.
When the epidemic broke out before, Xiao Zhaoming arranged a mansion for him. I wonder if Mr. Wu is still there.
She stopped a passerby and asked for directions.
Relying on her memory and the directions given by passers-by, Shen Wanyue was able to find the place.
But the appointed time is almost up.
As luck would have it, this road passed by the Fang family, and Shen Wanyue heard a familiar voice.
"You lied to me! My sister is not dead."
It’s Xiaoya’s voice.
She cried, "Bad guy! Wuuuuuu..."
"Xiao Ya, don't run away." Jileta's voice came from the room. He didn't know that Uncle Zhang didn't tell Xiao Ya in advance, and he didn't expect Xiao Ya to react so strongly and run out.
The little girl was wearing embroidered shoes and running while crying: "Wuwuwu..."
Shen Wanyue subconsciously stopped when she heard the familiar voice.
Xiao Ya's eyes were blurred by tears, and she didn't pay attention to what was in front of her. She bumped into Chen Wanyue who had stopped walking.
"Um!"
Lu Zhiyao was strong and healthy, so he was able to help Shen Wanyue stabilize her body.
The little girl stepped back and lost her footing, so she sat down on the ground.
This also allowed Gilletta to catch the man.
"Xiao Ya, are you okay?" Jileta picked the person up and checked if he was injured.
Shen Wanyue didn't expect such a coincidence that she met Xiaoya by accident.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Shen Wanyue spoke in a low voice.
Jileta held Xiaoya in her arms to prevent her from escaping again.
Xiaoya buried her head in his chest and burst into tears. He walked towards Chen Wanyue while comforting her.
When he noticed that the person's eyes were covered, he apologized: "Sorry, the kid wasn't paying attention to the road. Are you okay, bro?"
Chen Wanyue shook her head and said, "Nothing. Children are quite strong."
“Hehehe.”
It was a good opportunity to ask about Mr. Wu's whereabouts. Xiao Zhaoming was the most well-informed person, and perhaps Jileta knew something.
So she asked, "Brother, have you seen Mr. Wu? He is the miracle doctor. I am blind and I want to find him to cure my eyes."
Of course Gilletta knew, but he would not reveal Mr. Wu's location to a stranger.
"Mr. Wu... I've never seen him."
Shen Wanyue knew Jileta to some extent, and she was lying like this.
Yes, I am a stranger to her now, what obligation do I have to tell her?
She recalled what Zhou Wan said when she left.
Gilletta is in trouble...
"Are you...not feeling well?" Gilletta asked, seeing that the other person was motionless.
Chen Wanyue said: "It's just that my eyes hurt. I heard that Mr. Wu appeared here before, so I came here specially to seek medical treatment. In this case..."
"Why don't you stay and have a meal?"
"No, no, I have to travel tomorrow, so I won't stay long."
"Go slowly, we don't know when we will meet again after this separation."
"I'll come to see you often when I have time."
The sound came from far away and gradually approached. It came from Fang's house.
Suddenly someone spoke up: "Lu Zhiyao?"
Shen Wanyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly responded: “General Yan.”
What luck I had today, I met so many acquaintances when I came out - the only one I didn't meet was Wu Laifeng.
The little girl must have been tired of crying, and her voice gradually became smaller.
Jileta knew General Yan, and his eyes moved between the two of them: "Do you know each other?"
General Yan was also surprised when he saw Jileta. When he mentioned Lu Zhiyao, he told him about what happened to him.
After listening to it, Jileta wanted to give a thumbs up: "Great!"
Shen Wanyue only wanted to know the whereabouts of Wu Laifeng. Now that General Yan was here, she didn't have to worry about time.
"What's the use? I am like a useless person now, cough cough." Shen Wanyue was wearing a cloak when she came out, and now she crossed her hands and pulled the cloak closer to her body.
General Yan asked her why she came out.
Shen Wanyue's words were the same as what she said to Jileta.
General Yan nodded in understanding, thinking to himself, how could the eyes that had been gouged out possibly grow back?
But the other person was sad, and it would be inappropriate to say these things, so I didn't say anything.
Jileta pursed her lips. The other person was in such a miserable situation. If she missed this opportunity, the other person might not even have hope.
He cleared his throat and said, "Well, I don't know where Mr. Wu is, but a friend of mine knows. I heard him mention it when he was drunk before, and now that I think about it, it seems that he went to Fengzhen."
"Fengzhen..." Shen Wanyue murmured, repeating Jileta's words.
General Yan said, "Let's go back to the capital first and then look for Mr. Wu. I'm afraid it will take some time, and Mr. Wu's whereabouts won't be known by then."
Shen Wanyue was thinking: No, it doesn’t take one person to know that he has been sending people to follow Mr. Wu.
His current status does not allow him to travel freely, so he might as well go to the capital first and find an opportunity to establish a relationship with Xiao Zhaoming.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy.
"It's almost time for me to leave. Now that I know the news about Mr. Wu, I have to go back." Chen Wanyue chose to take a step back.
"Come with me." General Yan felt pity for her. It must be difficult for her to come here without being able to see.
"yes."
Gilleta looked at the two people walking away, feeling mixed emotions.
The little girl in my arms fell asleep, and her breathing became more obvious in the quiet night.
The Fang family members who were seeing him off saw that Jileta knew General Yan, so they did not dare to treat him lightly and invited him in: "Why don't you wait in the house first? Doctor Zhang is on duty tonight and will be back late."
"Okay." Jileta carried Xiaoya into the house.
What came to his mind was the image of the eyeless soldier standing beside General Yan.
He felt so familiar to me, but I couldn't remember where I had seen him.
——
"Your Highness, it's getting late." Wen Yu came to Xiao Zhaoming with a cup of freshly brewed tea and changed the tea set.
A white cloth was hung on the side, and a bamboo slip was held in his hand.
"When will General Yan arrive in Beijing?"
"Three days."
Xiao Zhaoming put down the bamboo slips, took the white cloth with his knuckles, and wrapped it around his eyes: "That day, I will personally welcome you."
Wen Yu put away the bamboo slips.
"Has the coroner sent any news?"
"I was just about to say that." Wen Yu quickened his movements, "The coroner said that the two were indeed killed by lightning."
Xiao Zhaoming: "No objection?"
"No."
"Ask the coroner to send the autopsy report."
"Yes." Wen Yu hesitated, "Then how should we arrange for Madam Zhou's body?"
Xiao Zhaoming tied a knot and put his hands down, letting his sleeves naturally roll up from his elbows to his wrists. “Send it back the same way. Don’t let anyone find out.”
"Yes." Wen Yu took the order and went down.
Xiao Zhaoming watched the tea leaves floating in the teacup slowly stop.
