He Tuyuan has been in a bad mood since leaving the Du family.
He Heihu and the others learned from Yi Yami about the whole confession process of this naive boy. They also felt that what Mr. Du said made sense. No family has children just to live a hard life in someone else's family, but they had no choice but to accept the situation of their own family.
The He family members were in a low mood. After arriving home, He Tuyuan said that he would not have dinner and locked himself in the house.
Yi Yami sighed. Just when she'd appeased one, another came along. There was nothing she could do. They were all her family. What else could she do? She had to figure out a solution...
The wind blew, and a rich fragrance drifted past Yiyami's nose.
Yi Yami's eyes lit up, and she followed the fragrance to find its source. When she looked closely, she found that red flowers all over the mountains were swaying in the wind.
"Is this Shandandan?" Yiyami was shocked.
"Yes, sister. I haven't seen you and my aunt staying in the house for the past few days. I have seen them outside many times. They are really red and fragrant. Grandpa even took me to the mountains to pick some and put them in the house. Sister, do you like them too? Xiaomai can pick some for you." Yi Xiaomai answered from the side.
Yi Yami raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Come on, brother, call grandpa, and let's go to the mountain."
Yi Xiaomai said yes and ran into the house to find He Shoushan.
…
On the other side, the border of Yinwei Kingdom.
The world was filled with flames of war, ruins, wreckage, and wounded soldiers.
Gu Beijian rode a horse for several days and nights and finally arrived at the border front.
"How is my brother?" Gu Beijian dismounted, threw the reins to the guarding soldier, and asked the deputy general Wu Yuanlou who came out of the tent to greet him.
"General Xiao Gu is not in good condition. The Sals people sent 100,000 cavalry to attack this time. After General Xiao Gu learned the news, he sent me and others to ambush at Lake Hari. However, the news was wrong. There were not 100,000 but 200,000 soldiers, which was too many. We only had 80,000 soldiers and horses. We resisted with all our strength and suffered heavy casualties. In order to save me, General Xiao Gu was hit by several poisonous arrows from the Sals people. Fortunately, General Xiao Gu was a martial arts master and was able to avoid the vital parts. Otherwise, he would have been a corpse now... You blame me, it's all my fault..." Wu Yuanlou said self-reproachfully.
Gu Beijian listened to Wu Yuanlou's report and patted him on the shoulder. "It's enough that he's still alive. Don't talk about useless things. If you have the time, why not write an urgent letter to your brother and ask him to come to support you."
"When I wrote to you, I had already written an urgent letter to my brother. My brother replied that the army had already set out to provide support, and he did not dare to let King Xiaoyao know about General Gu's injury. He only reported that the injury was serious and hoped that the emperor could dispatch troops to provide support." Wu Yuanlou said behind Gu Beijian.
Gu Beijian entered the tent and saw Gu Nanji lying on the bed wrapped in gauze, his face pale.
Gu Beijian looked at the face that looked exactly like his own, with only slight differences. He waved Wu Yuanlou out and sat down beside the bed. "Oh, our ever-beaten little General Gu, is he no longer able to fight?"
Gu Nanji closed his eyes and lay quietly.
Gu Beijian carefully tucked the quilt for him and was about to turn around when his hand was held the next second.
Gu Beijian curled his lips and said, "Stop pretending to sleep, brother?"
Gu Nanji looked at his nonchalant appearance and chuckled, "It took you a long time to get here, right? Look at you, you've even grown stubble..."
Gu Beijian listened to his weak voice and touched the stubble he had grown from running around these days. "Indeed, it's time to shave."
"Don't be so conceited. It would be better if you didn't shave. You would look more like me. I can't do it anymore. I'm seriously injured this time and can't move, so I asked Yuanlou to send you an urgent letter. You carry it for me. When I get better, I'll treat you to a drink... cough cough..." Gu Nanji withdrew his hand, lay there and looked at him quietly.
"Well, I want to drink the girl's red wine that my father hid in the yard." Gu Beijian said half-jokingly.
Gu Nanji made him laugh, but the next second he started coughing violently, and several wounds were shaken open, and blood stained the gauze red.
"Okay, okay, stop talking and thinking. Leave the rest to me." Gu Beijian shook his hand.
Seeing that he was serious, Gu Nanji nodded and closed his eyes to rest with peace of mind.
Gu Beijian took down Gu Nanji's armor that was hanging on the side and put it on neatly. There were still traces of Gu Nanji's blood on the silver armor. Gu Beijian gently stroked the scales of the armor and said softly, "Good buddy, it's my turn now."
After Gu Beijian got dressed, his eyes changed. Before, they were more playful and casual, but now they were sharp, like a decisive general.
He left the tent and ordered the guards on both sides to call a special military doctor to change Gu Nanji's medicine.
When Wu Yuanlou saw him change into his armor, he knew the two brothers had swapped identities again. It was always like this. Whenever Gu Nanji was injured and too serious to move, he would summon Gu Beijian to replace him, put on his armor, and Gu Beijian would become Gu Nanji. Fortunately, apart from Wu Yuanlou and a few other close confidants in the army, everyone else always believed that General Gu was an invincible god. No matter how badly injured he was, he would appear on the battlefield in a few days. And every time General Gu appeared after being injured, his attacks were always vicious and cruel, making people shudder. So everyone in the army said, you can mess with anyone, but don't mess with General Gu.
The two men walked towards the big tent where military affairs were discussed. Wu Yuanlou introduced the current battle situation to Gu Beijian as they walked.
…
On the hillside of Shandandan Village, Yi Yami, Yi Xiaomai and He Shoushan were squatting next to the Shandandan flowers.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Yi Xiaomai asked curiously.
"Soil." Yiyami grabbed a handful of soil and studied it carefully.
"Why, Xiaomi is also interested in planting?" He Shoushan asked curiously.
"Or, I can stay here and be a farmer, just like my grandfather, and guard this mountain land." He Shoushan said proudly as he looked at the red flowers all over the mountain and the rice swaying in the wind in the fields at the foot of the mountain.
"Grandpa, has the soil always been this dark?" Yiyami asked, observing the color of the soil.
"Yes, since I can remember, since I came to the mountain, the soil has been this color. Is there any problem?" He Shoushan took a look and answered her with certainty.
"It's nothing, grandpa, give me some water." Yi Yami asked He Shoushan for water.
He Shoushan thought the child was thirsty, so he quickly handed the water in the backpack to Yi Yami.
Yi Yami poured the water into the soil the next second, and He Shoushan shouted, "Hey, kid! What's wrong with you..."
Seeing the soil quickly soaked, Yi Yami was certain and had some ideas. Then he took a sip of water. He stood up, patted the soil in his hands, picked some Rhododendron safflower, turned to He Shoushan and said, "Okay, Grandpa, let's go back."
He Shoushan was stunned by her series of actions and followed her down the mountain without knowing why.
