Chapter 121 A Truth
Good health is indeed the top priority.
Wen Wan was exhausted and out of breath after just walking around the stable twice.
Her face turned pale and she looked like she might faint at any moment, which frightened Shanshui so much that he was spinning around nervously.
Wen Wan: "I'm just a little weak, don't be nervous, just take it easy."
The sick person came to comfort him, a normal person, and Shanshui couldn't help sighing.
He was just thinking about getting her a cup of hot water when a thin fireman ran up to him carrying a lunch box.
The fireman said cheerfully, "Captain, here are the hot water and some snacks you requested. Oh, and a hand warmer."
Shanshui was stunned for a moment, "What do I want?"
Seeing Wen Wan's suspicious look, Shanshui reacted quickly and slapped his forehead.
"Yes, I did. Look at my memory. I forget about it when I get busy."
He took the lunch box and stuffed the snacks and hot water into Wen Wan's hands. "I had someone prepare it before you came, and it was delivered just now."
Wen Wan looked down and saw that the snacks were some of her favorite candied fruits. The hot water was stored in a sheepskin kettle. When she pulled out the cork, she could smell the scent of jasmine.
Even tea is her favorite.
The hot water in the pot seeped through the leather and spread its warmth into her palm.
Her eyes were gentle, and she didn't ask any questions, just smiled faintly.
"You're... thoughtful. Thank you."
Shanshui coughed twice and his smile was a little forced.
Wen Wan ate some snacks and held the hand warmer in her arms. After her body warmed up, she regained some strength.
"Alas, it's already spring, and summer is coming soon, but I'm still so afraid of the cold. I don't know when I'll get better."
She just sighed a few words, but the mountains and rivers were more anxious than her.
"Don't worry, Miss Xiaowan. Da... We've already sent people to the Imperial Capital to find some good herbs. They'll be delivered to you in a few days to replenish your body. It won't be long before you're as lively and energetic as before."
Wen Wan raised an eyebrow, "Alive and kicking?"
Is she a fish or a frog?
Shanshui was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I'm just a plain old fellow, not very educated. Don't bother with all those fancy words."
Wen Wan nodded, "Okay. I appreciate your kindness."
After a pause, she got down to business.
"It's a lucky coincidence. After checking the entire stable, I've actually seen these war horses die in the same unusual way. So, I do have a solution."
That was when I was a graduate student. I had a good friend whose family ran a horse farm and he was studying an unpopular breeding major.
During the summer vacation, she went to her friend's horse farm and happened to find that many horses on the farm had died of illness.
My friend's father invited many experts to study the matter, and later the problem of the sick horse was solved. My friend also took the opportunity to write a paper.
It was Wen Wan who helped find the references for that paper, so she was deeply impressed.
Wenwan withdrew her wandering thoughts and returned to the main topic.
Her expression instantly became serious and her eyes became sharp.
"However, if you want me to solve the problem, you have to agree to one condition of mine."
Given their relationship, Shanshui didn't expect that she would put forward conditions before helping him.
This action was unexpected, and Shanshui suddenly had a bad feeling.
Shanshui asked, "What does Miss Xiaowan want?"
"I don't want anything. I just want you to tell me the truth." Wen Wan said coldly.
Shanshui twitched his lips, a trace of guilt flashing across his face, "Miss Xiaowan, what are you talking about? I don't understand what you are saying..."
"What happened to Agui?"
Wen Wan stared at the mountains and rivers without blinking, her eyes firm and with no intention of compromising at all.
"After Achai and Gao Ling returned to Border Town, you kept telling me that Agui was injured, so he returned slower than them. But it's been over half a month, and there's still no news from him!"
Wen Wan sneered, "I'm not stupid! Even if he was injured, he should have come back a long time ago."
Her tone darkened and she asked sharply, "So, did something happen to him?"
The wind blew, it was clearly a warm spring breeze, but at that moment, the mountains and rivers felt cold.
"He..." Shanshui licked his dry lips, seeming to hesitate, and finally said weakly: "Sure enough, I can't hide it from you for long."
Upon hearing this, Wen Wan's heart sank.
Shanshui: "At that time, Lord Gao and Agui and his group were being pursued by the Mobei people for several days. During one battle, he... was captured by the Mobei people."
Just a few simple words, but when you think about it carefully, it can send a chill down your spine.
According to the way the Mobei people treated slaves, death was the least they could do. Many of those who lived a life worse than death would be raised by the Mobei people as "two-legged sheep" and treated like livestock to fill their stomachs.
The young man who had protected her in the Forgotten Valley, his village was completely slaughtered by the Mobei people, and his beloved was also brutally eaten...
His life is hard enough, why is God still unwilling to give this poor man a chance to live?
Wen Wan couldn't hide her unwillingness, her eyes were red, and her figure swayed.
Shanshui quickly supported her and whispered, "You haven't been feeling well lately. We were afraid you wouldn't be able to accept this reality, so we didn't dare tell you."
"Don't worry, the general has already sent people to rescue him."
Wen Wan didn't say anything for a long time, but just cried sadly.
She knew in her heart that if she fell into the hands of the Mobei people, it would be difficult to rescue her. It was just a thought for her.
"landscape!"
Wen Wan wiped away her tears and said through gritted teeth, "Bring me some pen and ink! These war horses can't die anymore. In the future, they will lead us into the Mobei royal court to avenge Agui!"
Upon hearing this, Shanshui nodded repeatedly.
"Yes! That's what the general said. One day, we will crush the Mobei Royal Court and seek justice for the people of the Duan Dynasty who died tragically!"
"Mobei must pay for its blood debt with blood!"
*
Wen Wan, with tears in her eyes, wrote an article entitled "On Postpartum Care of War Horses".
Although the title was difficult to understand, she explained the content to Shanshui in detail.
On the way out of the camp, Wen Wan was so heartbroken that she couldn't hold on and fainted.
Shanshui, the coachman, was frightened and stopped the carriage immediately.
He lifted the car curtain and was about to pick the person up, but before he could reach out his hand, he was pulled aside.
"I'll do it."
Shen Yu, who arrived on horseback, had a gloomy expression on his face, and exuded an aura of "keep away from strangers".
When Shanshui saw that it was him, he stepped aside to make room for him.
Shen Yu's gaze fell on Wen Wan, whose face was pale in the carriage.
For a moment, the pity and heartache in his eyes seemed to turn into reality, like a sharp blade, cutting through his flesh and even his soul bleeding.
He carried Wen Wan onto the back of his horse and protected her as they galloped all the way to the city's medical clinic.
