Li Changsheng nodded, indicating that he had remembered everything, and then stood obediently to the side without saying a word.
"Don't worry, the child knows what he's doing!"
As he spoke, Deputy General Sun winked at Li Changsheng, his expression revealing a meaningful look.
After finishing talking about Li Changsheng, Deputy General Sun prepared to pick up the bundle of firewood again, shouting that he was going to cook a big meal for Li Changan.
Li Chang'an was deeply moved by this.
She couldn't help but think that every time she came back, everyone would prepare all sorts of delicious dishes to entertain her, and they would even specially prepare her favorite foods.
Surrounded by the warmth of family and the comfort of everyday life, Li Chang'an felt a tender warmth in his heart.
This is perhaps the best interpretation of the saying "not related by blood, but closer than blood."
"I'll do this job. You need to take good care of your back injury; you can't be careless."
After only a moment of distraction, Li Chang'an immediately picked up the conversation and then stepped forward to forcibly take the firewood from Deputy General Sun's hand.
Deputy General Sun smiled helplessly and then let the other party not say anything polite.
In fact, Li Chang'an interacted with everyone in the military camp in such a genuine, simple, and friendly way. They saw no difference in status or position, and there was no pretense of compliance.
Here, we are good brothers and comrades who have gone through thick and thin together, and we feel a rare sense of kinship when we are away from home.
Although everyone here respectfully calls Li Chang'an "General," that title is not based on class distinctions, but rather on the deep respect these people have for this extraordinary woman.
The setting sun did not bring any sense of desolation.
The courtyard was already brightly lit.
A simple family feast was set up in the courtyard, and Li Chang'an and the soldiers gathered together, making it a lively occasion.
Having not seen everyone for many days, Li Chang'an finally got to relax for once.
Today has been filled with troubles, and it feels like a heavy stone is pressing on her heart. Now that she has arrived at this peaceful place, she can finally let go of everything and enjoy herself to the fullest.
"General, you mustn't drink too much; you should eat more vegetables! I've noticed you've lost some weight lately..."
Deputy General Sun reminded him like an old father, and then put another piece of fish into Li Chang'an's bowl.
Li Chang'an responded softly, but then picked up the wine bowl and took a sip.
Everyone burst into laughter, and then began to tease Vice General Sun about how he had become so fussy.
"You know nothing! The capital city may seem incredibly rich and expensive, but if you're actually living there, you're no different from a caged canary. We can enjoy our leisure here all day long and naturally fatten you all up, but our general is different. What do you and I understand about the affairs of the court? If it weren't for being forced to, I would be the first to object to our general being trapped here!"
Deputy General Sun slammed his hand on the table and launched into a long lecture, clearly dissatisfied.
After he finished speaking, everyone shut their mouths, and no one stood up to refute him.
"It's not as serious as you say. I'm doing just fine, aren't I?"
Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a bit tense, Li Chang'an pretended to be relaxed and continued the conversation.
Then she couldn't help but sigh silently in her heart.
Deputy General Sun's words really struck a chord with her.
I also long to go back to the past and be with the soldiers. Even if it was just the same old days of eating and sleeping in the open, wouldn't that be a different kind of experience?
No matter how much suffering and pain there is, as long as someone is willing to face it with you, it is nothing more than a small storm in the long journey of life.
While the life they lead nowadays is undoubtedly luxurious and comfortable, the hardships and loneliness behind this seemingly leisurely and peaceful existence are probably only truly felt by themselves.
Only the person living the life knows how it is, whether it's good or bad.
Although he had only been back in the capital for a few months, Li Chang'an no longer hoped to find genuine human connection.
As long as the days pass peacefully and without illness or disaster, that's good enough; nothing else matters.
Because in this world built of red walls and green tiles, interests and power are the lifeblood that controls everything, even people's hearts.
And this secluded courtyard and the people living there have unknowingly become a rare and precious sanctuary.
Unbeknownst to him, Li Chang'an felt his vision becoming somewhat blurred, and his mind seemed to be filled only with memories.
Looking back on the past, it all seems like a passing cloud.
As a quick-transmigration mission taker, she shouldn't have had so many feelings, since each space she arrived at was just a vessel for completing her mission.
She has played many roles, met all sorts of people, and experienced many thrilling and even unbelievable things.
Perhaps in the past, those experiences would have been seen as novel attempts. As long as the task was successfully completed, everyone would be happy, and then they would go to a new environment and complete new tasks with a completely new identity.
But gradually, she found herself getting too caught up in one identity, and the regrets and grievances she encountered would linger in her heart for a long time.
But these experiences were ultimately just fleeting moments, leaving only endless sorrow in my heart.
To make herself feel better, she gradually learned to arm herself with the image of a cold and indifferent person; perhaps only in this way could she have fewer unnecessary feelings.
Perhaps in other people's eyes, this woman is a simple, crude, cold, strong, and unapproachable person. No one dares to approach her, let alone get close to her.
As time went by, she gradually forgot who she was, who was around her, and what she was striving for in this world.
Perhaps during her previous quick transmigration mission, she could have secretly told herself that as long as she successfully completed this mission, she would be able to go to a carefree, advanced world to enjoy the rest of her life.
In the end, it turned out that all expectations and fantasies were ultimately destroyed by that unreliable exploitative system.
She finally came into this world and had a new identity. She became Li Chang'an, and perhaps from now on, she will always just be Li Chang'an.
As time went by, it seemed that all that remained in his memory was Li Chang'an herself and everything around her.
Apart from the most hidden memory suppressed deep in one's heart.
