Chapter 42 Distress
Gu Chengze put his hand on his shoulder. Don't think he doesn't know what this man is thinking. Looking at his slightly flushed face, his eyes full of spring, and the way he stares at his fiancée, you can tell that he has no good intentions.
"Brother!" Bao Ge'er was bored and looked around when he saw Gu Chengze at the gate of the military camp. He ran over.
When Li Zheng heard Bao Ge'er's voice, she looked back. "Hmm, he hasn't gotten any darker after all these days in the army?" However, the lines on his face were smoother, his expression more resolute, and he exuded a sense of maturity.
Gu Chengze touched Baoger's head and looked at the girl in front of him. She seemed to have grown taller, and her body had the curves of a girl. She was wearing a green gown, and her hair was tied up with a simple hairpin, with the broken hair brushing against her face. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were cold, but one could still see surprise in them. Her lips were rosy, as if she wanted to be adopted.
Bao Ge'er looked at his brother and sister looking at each other, and suddenly felt that he shouldn't exist. He puffed his lips and said, "Brother, sister and I brought you something, don't you want to see it?"
"Hmm? Okay." Gu Chengze then withdrew his gaze and turned to Li Zheng.
The soldier standing by thought, "So that's him! Didn't he just take first place a few days ago? I didn't expect that even the girl he admired was so pretty. Why didn't he suspect she was his sister?" Humph, that couldn't fool his eyes. It was obvious that the two of them were interested in each other.
"Why did you come here?" But with her personality, she should find it troublesome, right?
"It's nothing. Bao Ge'er missed you, so he came to see you." It was true that Bao Ge'er missed him.
When Baoger heard his name, he said, "Yes, brother. I miss you." But the most important thing was that he wanted to see what the military camp looked like.
"Hmm." He didn't believe it. This kid was so clever. He probably had other motives. He probably wanted to see what the military camp looked like. He was going to be disappointed. It had to be said that Gu Chengze really understood Bao Ge'er's thoughts.
After the greeting, there was a silence and no one spoke. She felt awkward and could only tell him about what had happened recently, such as selling the recipe and getting a new maid.
"Well, it's up to you. But don't go out for the time being. Keep some herbs at home. Refugees from the north are coming."
"When did it happen?" She was a little shocked. They had been here for a month, and they had only just arrived. Was it possible that there was no provincial capital to receive them on the way?
"It's been several days, but I haven't entered the city. I've been stopped outside. I heard recently that there's a large number of people getting sick there. It's better to be cautious."
"Okay, I understand. I'll prepare it when I get back."
"Yeah. Be careful about everything and don't expose yourself." He knew her ability, but still couldn't help but worry.
"Okay, here are the food and medicine I brought for you. You can't be out for too long, so you'd better go back quickly." After all, he is just a small soldier now, without much authority, so he certainly can't leave for too long.
"Cheng Ze has been gone for so long, and I don't know what he can bring back. It's a pity that I can't go with him, otherwise I could see what his fiancée looks like." Qin You sighed while lying on the bed, and thought of himself as a lonely person, so pitiful.
"Yes, when Xiaoze's family comes over, they will definitely bring some food." Wang Chui was also craving for food.
"What? You're thinking about my things so soon." When he walked to the door, he heard them talking about his food, but this time he didn't take it all out. Instead, he hid some in his space. Otherwise, these people would eat without restraint and he would have nothing to eat.
"Hey, Chengze, what delicious food did you bring this time?" As he said that, he reached out to open the bag to see if there was anything good.
He quickly used his hands to block his movements, otherwise he would have been completely lost.
"Here are two jars of snacks. We'll eat them together later." The two jars contained red shrimps and snails that she had fried. She had already told her how to eat them. The dried meat and pork jerky could be stored for a long time, so she left them untouched for now.
"Okay, okay. It's almost time for lunch. Let's bring it back and eat it." Qin You suggested.
The people serving food at the military camp were surprised and asked, "What's wrong with this camp today? They only want steamed buns and nothing else. Today's dish has meat, but they won't eat it."
At this time, Gu Chengze and the others were holding steamed buns and looking at two cans of snacks. The taste was spicy and delicious, and they really couldn't help themselves.
"Xiao Ze, how do I eat this?" Wang Chui was a little hesitant when he saw the insect, but he was completely conquered when he smelled the taste.
Gu Chengze demonstrated it to them, and everyone started eating.
"Oh, it's so delicious. I've never eaten anything like this before." Wang Chui sighed, thanks to Xiaoze.
"When everyone is resting, please come to my house for dinner." Gu Chengze was also very willing to take them there.
"Hey, all right! Hey? Qin You, shut up! Why did you eat so much?" He said angrily, looking at the shells scattered on the ground beside him. No more talking, hurry up and eat.
Qin You thought while eating, isn't it because you like to talk too much, and you blame me?
Li Zheng had nothing on her, so she swayed in the carriage and looked at the scenery on the roadside. "Sister, there's a fight ahead!"
The driver stopped the car immediately after hearing this. Li Zheng looked outside and saw a group of men in black attacking the master and servant. There were servants lying on the ground, and it was obvious that the two were at a disadvantage.
"Oh, girl, what should I do?" What's going on? I just went out of town, and my life is in danger.
"Don't talk. What if someone in front notices us?"
When the driver heard this, he immediately covered his mouth and dared not speak.
Li Zheng looked at the man in white in front of him. Hmm? Wasn't he the man he met on the spring outing that day? So he was chasing him.
"Uncle, do you know another way back to the city?"
"I know...I know, there is a small road." The driver was so scared that he couldn't speak clearly.
"Uncle, let's get out of the car and you drive to the government office to get help!"
"Huh? Me...myself?"
"Yes, three people are too heavy. You will be faster alone. Let's hide in the bushes. You have to hurry." She hid in the bushes with Baoger. Seeing this, the driver gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, Hu Niang, wait, I'll go right away." It doesn't make sense that a little girl is not afraid, but I, an old man, am afraid.
She breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the driver drive away. Then she looked at the group of people again. They killed someone in broad daylight, and the person they killed was either rich or noble. She thought that there must be someone behind them. They asked the driver to leave quickly to protect him. The group of people would definitely turn around and kill to silence him. She still felt a little sorry for an innocent person.
At this time, the man's servant also fell down, leaving only the man in white robe, but there were still six men in black besieging him. She just watched because she was not sure whether to save him, and these people were not simple. If they got into trouble, it might not be possible to get rid of them.
