In just a few days, Gu Lingfeng felt that his body was not as heavy as before, as if a willow branch in spring had sprouted new buds, and life was suddenly revealed.
Now he no longer needs to use a stick to walk, and the frequency of his coughing is gradually decreasing.
So when he suggested going to collect some firewood, Yan did not stop him. She knew what her husband was thinking. Ever since the defeat against the Qiang tribe in the southwest four years ago, he had not acted like a normal person for a long time.
At the age of eighteen, he followed his father to the battlefield. In just a few years, he was invincible. However, he never expected that one day he would be defeated and seriously injured in the enemy camp. In the end, he could only live in a corner as a sickly prince of the Southwest.
Is he willing? Of course not. But now he can live like an ordinary person again. Sister Awan also said that as long as he takes good care of himself, he will have no problem living to his sixties or seventies. So Gu Lingfeng is satisfied.
If I need to go to the battlefield again in the future, I will have my second brother to support me. Yan Ji is a person who is more suitable for the battlefield than him.
Yan sent him to the edge of the woods, and Gu Lingfeng comforted her, "I'll be back soon, don't worry."
"I will listen to my husband." Yan smiled slightly.
Gu Lingfeng went into the outskirts of the forest alone, intending to pick up some fire-resistant wood. Along the loess path, he also found some wild mushrooms.
Just as he bent down to pick it, he suddenly heard someone calling him "Brother Gu!"
He looked up at the sound and saw Song Wan. She was holding a wild goat in her left hand and a rope in her right hand. The other end of the rope was tied to a horse in the distance, and there seemed to be someone on the horse.
"Sister Wan, you're back." Gu Lingfeng glanced at the wild goat in her hand, and then understood, "So you want to eat mutton."
Although we were together for only a few days,
But Gu Lingfeng already knew this future brother-in-law and was very protective of him.
"I can make grilled lamb skewers when I get home." Song Wan thought happily, "Oh, by the way, I also brought you some buns and dumplings."
After she finished speaking, she pulled the thick rope and said to the treasure she brought back, "Come here, this is the patient I mentioned who has the same last name as you."
As early as Song Wan discovered Gu Lingfeng and called out "Brother Gu", Gu Yanji saw Gu Lingfeng, the elder brother he had been thinking about.
So the family that Song Wan was talking about saving was exactly his father and brother's family.
Gu Yanji didn't have time to think too much. After the shock and excitement, he quickly dismounted and walked over here.
Gu Lingfeng apparently realized that the man with the thick rope tied around his waist was his second brother who had disappeared after leaving the southwestern border.
Originally, he didn't want to make his parents worry, so he lied that Yan Ji was on the way. In fact, he had already made the worst plan in his mind at that time.
Unexpectedly, my second brother was brought back by my sister-in-law. Perhaps this is their fate.
"Brother, what's wrong with you--" Gu Yanji was the first to speak. He didn't care about his wound that had not yet healed, and stepped forward to grab Gu Lingfeng's arm. He was afraid that all this was his illusion.
"It's big brother." Gu Lingfeng's eyes moistened. "Thanks to my sister-in-law, big brother is better now, and so is father."
Just one short sentence relieved most of Gu Yan's worries.
But when did his elder brother get a younger sister? Could it be that during the years when he was away from the capital, his family arranged a marriage for A Yu to bring good luck?
Gu Yan frowned anxiously. Logically speaking, her father and mother would not arrange her third brother's marriage so hastily.
"Sister Awan, I haven't asked you where you met my second brother Yan Ji?" Gu Lingfeng was not a fool. He naturally saw the thick rope between the two of them. He knew without thinking that it was probably not a normal encounter.
"He is your second brother?" Song Wan pointed at her treasure. No wonder when she was on Qingyun Mountain, she always felt that the man surnamed Gu looked very familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere. Now, after all this trouble, it was more than just familiarity. His eyebrows and eyes were at least 30% similar to Gu Lingfeng's.
"Yes, come to think of it, you two haven't met each other since you got engaged." Gu Lingfeng said with a smile.
"So you are Gu Yan who is anxious." Song Wan sighed in her heart. She was originally worried that this baby would run away if she couldn't raise him well, but now it seems that she doesn't have to worry anymore.
Since he is her fiancé, it seems that she can save the two thousand taels without worry. After all, who would spend money to buy a treasure that is already theirs?
"Are you, Miss Song?" Gu Yan had thought that the patient named Gu mentioned by the woman in front of him might be his eldest brother, but he never thought that she was the fiancée arranged for him by his family.
The eldest daughter of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion who was rumored to be introverted and dull but extremely talented in martial arts.
But the reality is, apart from his extremely strong talent in martial arts, everything else has nothing to do with the rumors.
"Yes, this lady's name will never be changed, it's Song Wan." Whether in the end times or here, she is called Song Wan, without a single word difference.
Seeing that the two of them were getting along well, Gu Lingfeng immediately put aside his worries and asked, "By the way, second brother, where are Gu Wen and Gu Wu by your side?"
"Those two guards."
"Sister Awan knows?"
"I know." Song Wan said confidently after understanding, "I saw a lot of mushrooms and wild mushrooms here, so I asked them to help pick them."
Anyway, Gu Yan was in her hands, so Song Wan was not worried that the two men would run away.
On the way back, in addition to wild rabbits, they also hunted a lot of fatter wild pheasants. They stewed the chickens with mushrooms, which sounded delicious just thinking about it.
Gu Lingfeng was silent after hearing this answer.
"Don't worry, they won't go far. I'll count to three and they'll appear." Song Wan said calmly, "Three, two, one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a movement behind the bushes on the left. Gu Wen, holding a lot of fresh mushrooms in his arms, let go of the horse he was holding and hurried over. "Girl! Do you think these are enough?"
Following behind him was Gu Wu, who looked reluctant but had not yet completely surrendered. It would be so embarrassing if they, the personal bodyguards of a general, were picking mushrooms for a woman.
Gu Wu thought so in his heart, but the wild mushrooms in his arms were no less than Gu Wen's. No, after talking to the general, he must persuade the general to escape and never succumb to the tyranny of the witch.
Just as he was making careful plans, he heard Gu Wen exclaim in surprise, "Prince!"
Gu Wu took a closer look and said "!!!"
He must be dreaming.
"Gu Wen, thank you for all the journey."
"It's not hard. Protecting the general is my duty!"
Song Wan didn't care about them. She was more concerned about whether she had enough wild mushrooms. After all, there were too many people to feed.
Gu Wu was equally excited. He was about to speak when he was suddenly stopped by someone. Song Wan stopped him, "Wait a minute, where are my mushrooms?"
Gu Wu's mouth twitched because of shock, as he dropped the mushrooms and wild mushrooms he had picked with great difficulty all over the ground. How could this witch only care about eating!
"Look at you, not only can you not beat me, you can't even pick mushrooms as well as Gu Wen. What else can you do?" Song Wan felt pained when she thought that such a big guy would definitely consume more food.
"Nonsense! I obviously picked more than him!" Gu Wu said angrily. He just dropped it accidentally. He just needed to pick it up.
"Yes, you threw more than him." Song Wan curled her lips and looked in Gu Yan's direction. "You, the guard, seem to be missing something in your brain."
Gu Wu...
He is not deaf!
Gu Yanji silently observed his fiancée whom he had never met before. Is she really the eldest daughter of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion?
Does the old Weiyuan Marquis Song Yan know about her strange fake internal strength?
"But for your sake, I will reluctantly keep him." Song Wan said, touching the back of Gu Yanji's hand again, and touched it for a long time before letting go.
Today she was supposed to give acupuncture to three patients, so she had to suck more. Song Wan felt like the vixen in the storybooks who sucked the essence of men.
Song Wan's little trick did not escape everyone's eyes, but Gu Wen and Gu Wu had been forced to get used to it, and they couldn't object even if they wanted to.
People like Gu Wu still had some rebellious spirit, so he placed all his hopes on the prince, his eyes full of hope.
Gu Lingfeng was indeed surprised. He didn't expect that the two of them would be so close after just knowing each other for a single morning. Could this be a marriage destined by heaven?
"It seems that Yan Ji and Sister Awan have a very good relationship." This is all he can say.
Anyway, the two of them will get married sooner or later, and Sister Awan is a person who always knows her limits, so Gu Lingfeng didn't take her previous behavior to heart.
Gu Yan, who had been taken advantage of, was anxious...
Big brother, shouldn't you rebuke this woman who took advantage of your brother? What happened during his absence that could have caused such a big change in his self-disciplined brother?
After a brief reunion in the woods, they turned back to the stream.
The happiest one among them was Gu Lingfeng. His second brother was able to return safely. His father and mother would definitely be relieved when they knew it.
During this journey, Gu Yanji also asked many questions about the exile. After learning that it was Song Wan who brought several secret guards to rescue everyone from the exile team, Gu Yanji fell silent.
He clearly remembered that in his dream, the Weiyuan Marquisate was destroyed during the exile even earlier than the Southwest Prince's Mansion.
King Xiang was a petty and cruel king. He could not tolerate any forces of the previous emperor to survive in the world, but he did not want to end it all with one blow, so he left the two families to be tortured slowly on the road of exile.
Weiyuan Marquis Mansion was where his first slow knife landed. Gu Yan looked anxiously at the girl walking in front with a horse, thinking, could it be that I really just had a nightmare?
Back at the stream, Qi and Liu were making a fire and cooking porridge, while Yan was helping to pickle fresh and clean wild vegetables. The three of them were chatting and laughing, looking very relaxed.
Not far away, on a grain transport cart with a canopy and no door curtain, Song Zhaoyuan and Gu Xun, a pair of brothers of the opposite sex, were able to sit up. They leaned against it, and two little boys sat beside them.
Gu Xun, who had only one arm left, smiled and touched his youngest son and then his eldest grandson.
Gu Yan was in a trance when she saw this scene.
Everyone is there. They didn't end up like in the dream, and they are all living well.
And all this was because of a woman who had never appeared in his dreams, his fiancée Song Wan.
But at this moment, his fiancée Song Wan had already thrown away the thick rope, carrying the dumplings and meat buns, and walked happily to Qi, "Add some food!"
Qi was surprised, "Wan, where did you get these?"
Song Wan: "I bought it from the mountain. There are many people living there."
"You went up Qingyun Mountain?" Qi was worried. "Did you run into bandits? Are you hurt?"
"There are no bandits up there, only a few mountain people who can't even get enough meat to eat." Song Wan thought of those skinny "mountain bandits" who couldn't even catch a pheasant, and felt only contempt in his heart.
Their wives are at great loss by marrying them.
"Don't run out alone next time. At least take Song Qi and the others with you." Qi gradually put aside her worries.
"Yeah, I understand." Song Wan casually promised and turned her gaze to the busy Liu. "Aunt Liu, I also picked up a treasure from the mountain."
Well, Song Wan thought about it and decided that if she said she found it, Liu would definitely not be embarrassed to ask her for money. She might even decide to give Gu Yanji directly to her.
Upon hearing this, Liu smiled gently. She liked this second daughter-in-law who had not yet married into the family. "Ah Wan, what is this treasure?"
Song Wan quickly stood up, turned around and walked back, quickly pulled Gu Yan over, and said to her like she was presenting a treasure, "Look, this is the treasure I picked up from the mountain!"
The author has something to say:
Gu?Baby?Yan is anxious...I feel numb already.
Awan now treats everyone like a teammate, as if it were the end of the world.
