"I'm not trying to embarrass you! It will only take a few days!" Ah Chou was stared at by Pang Yi, and was so scared that she waved her hands and explained hurriedly. "When I recover and go back, I won't ask you to go down the mountain to fetch water. I can fetch water by myself then! Otherwise, you... don't fetch water when you get up in the morning. Wait until he wakes up. You can chop ice to get water, it's... the same," Ah Chou had no experience of contact with men other than Zhong Mingwei. Being stared at by Pang Yi at this time, she felt that the hairs on her body stood up. She was worried that Pang Yi was complaining about her. But she couldn't care less. She just lowered her voice again, "Just... just don't smash stones when he is sleeping. He is not in good health now. Let him rest well. Please..."
"Yes. I understand. Madam, please rest assured." Pang Yi stood up and walked to Ah Chou. He knelt down with a "thump" and then kowtowed deeply.
Ah Chou was startled by his sudden action and stood up from her chair. She wanted to go over and help Pang Yi up, but she didn't dare to, so she stepped aside and said hurriedly: "What are you doing? Get up! Get up!"
"I am grateful to Madam, very grateful." Pang Yi did not stand up. He raised his body and said to Achou, while kowtowed twice heavily. As a military commander who had served in the army for fifteen years, he was really not good at speaking. His gratitude to Achou was overwhelming, but he really didn't know how to express it, so he could only express it in this dumbest but most simple way.
"Hurry up, don't do this..." Ah Chou had always knelt down and kowtowed to others, but she had never seen such a scene before. She was so scared that she almost cried, "Why are you kneeling? Hurry up!"
"Yes," Pang Yi stood up and bowed to Ah Chou, "If Madam has no other instructions, I will go back."
"Okay, go back, don't leave him alone," Ah Chou said hurriedly, but when she saw Pang Yi turning around to leave, she hurriedly called out to him, "You... you wait a moment."
"Madam, do you have any other instructions?" Pang Yi asked.
"Um..." Ah Chou's cheeks flushed slightly. He was too embarrassed to say what was in his mind. After a long while, he managed to say, "What's your name?"
In fact, this was not what she wanted to ask.
"Madam, I am Pang Yi," Pang Yi said hurriedly, bowing. "I was your personal bodyguard and grew up with you. Fifteen years ago, I followed your orders and went to the Southern Xinjiang camp. Now that you are in trouble, I have left Southern Xinjiang. If you don't mind, I will stay in Ningguta and serve you and your wife."
"I...how could I dislike it?" Ah Chou said hurriedly, and a little sadly, "It's better for you to stay. He won't feel depressed if he has an old friend to talk to him. I can't read much, so I can only talk to him about family matters. He's a man, so I'm afraid he doesn't want to listen. Sometimes I always feel that he has something on his mind, but I don't dare to ask, and I don't know how to ask. With you here in the future, he should be able to talk to you from the bottom of his heart."
"Madam, please forgive me for my presumptuous behavior," Pang Yi looked at Ah Chou and spoke every word with great sincerity, "In my heart, you are incomparable to anyone else. What I like to hear the most is definitely your gossip about family matters. I feel most comfortable and at ease when I am by your side. Although I haven't said anything these past two days, I can see that I really miss you."
"Really?" Ah Chou felt a little sour in her nose. She felt that she was a complete failure, but she was happy in her heart. She nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice, "Then I have to take good care of myself and try to get well soon so that I can go back. Tomorrow I will ask Grandma Chen to make donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest for me."
Pang Yi couldn't help curling his lips when he heard her say that. His heartstrings, which had been tense for several days, finally relaxed a little. He said hurriedly, "Madam, please eat as much as you can. Our family is not short of money."
"Did you take the five hundred taels last time?" Ah Chou was stunned.
"Yes, I was in a hurry last time and didn't greet you, Madam. Please forgive me." Pang Yi said as he bowed deeply to Ah Chou.
"Don't bend down and kneel like this all the time, it's scary," Ah Chou said hurriedly, scratching his head again. After a long while, he whispered out the words that had been suppressed in his heart, "Um...did he ask you to call me Madam?"
