In the blink of an eye, the lively New Year's Eve passed, and after a few rains, the atmosphere in the city finally became gloomy.
In this battle to resist Yuan Fu's army, too many soldiers were killed or injured. It took the sergeants ten days to bury all the bones piled up under the city.
A secluded path outside the East City Gate leads directly to the poplar forest, where there is a large area of ??refurbished soil where the bones of the victims are buried.
Yuan Fu suffered heavy losses, and Ji Changchuan himself was not much better.
The number of wounded soldiers alone is over ten thousand, the medicinal herbs in the city are limited, and the supplies sent to collect nearby have not been delivered. It has been more than half a month since Yuan Jun retreated, and people died almost every day.
Except for the military doctors, all available doctors in the pharmacy and medical center were transferred to the temporarily set up barracks to treat the wounded. Later, there was probably a real shortage of manpower, and even Wanyao had to be entrusted by Ji Changchuan to find time to help.
Xiang Huan had no choice but to be taken care of by Xiang Yuanyuan for three days without hesitation¡ªmedicine was used to irrigate, and the medicine was replaced with Jinchuang medicinal powder to fill the wound, and the bandage could strangle him. Show a small waist.
During those days lying in bed, Xiang Huan really wondered if this girl came to their house to collect debts.
On the fourth day, he couldn't bear it any longer, and simply announced in advance that he was "cured", and ran out of the government office as if avoiding disaster.
There are three or two pedestrians on the street, and the patrolling officials can be seen from a distance.
Yu Wenjun and Yu Fei were responsible for patrolling the defense of the city wall, and Wan Yao also had other things to do. Instead, he became a very boring idler, wandering around with nothing to do.
Unknowingly, they walked to the barracks beside the city wall. This place was originally used for training recruits, but now it has been changed to a place for wounded soldiers.
On the old trees outside the camp, most of the chicks were able to fly, chirping and landing on his shoulders and pecking everywhere, probably wanting to beg for something to eat.
But Xiang Huan was in a hurry to go out, he rummaged around, only found a piece of flattened pastry.
Seeing this, the latter pointed his butt at him in disgust, and flew away with his wings shaking.
There were soldiers delivering herbal medicine on the road, and the doctors who were invited for diagnosis and treatment should be there too.
So Xiang Huan looked inside the camp gate, as if thinking of something, he raised his eyebrows, and a deep smile suddenly appeared in his eyes.
In the camp, several spacious open spaces were specially set up for drying medicinal herbs, and the surrounding area was very busy with people coming and going.
Wan Yao was picking up crane grass buds in front of the shelf, Xiang Huan found a way to sneak in, and followed her quietly, with his hands behind his back, watching her reach out and fiddle with a pile of hay, her fingers slender, in the sun Dazzlingly white.
"Wanyao." He pursed his lips, quite deliberately looking for something to say, "Why can't I find you these days, I'm almost bored to death at home."
She grabbed a handful from the dustpan where the osmanthus twigs were drying and put them into the basket, explaining, "The general asked me to treat the wounded soldiers, and I really can't leave."
Xiang Huan raised his eyelids in displeasure, "Aren't I also a wounded soldier? He's done this too slyly, and he hasn't asked me what I mean."
Wanyao stopped when she heard the words, looked up and squinted at him, "Why do you ask me? With your iron body, you can just lie down for a few days by yourself, and you don't need someone to take care of you."
"Heyyou can't say that, no matter how iron your bones are, they will bleed and sweat, and it will hurt even if you cut them with a knife, okay?"
She finished grabbing the medicine from the prescription, shook the basket twice, and was about to go to the table to grind it into powder, when Xiang Huan suddenly looked left and right quickly.
"Come with me." Saying that, she quickly put down all the things in Wanyao's hands, and dragged her all the way to the back of the medicine rack, where she could just cover her figure.
Wan Yao followed him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
There was a cunning in the boy's eyes that could not be concealed, and he held her cheek with both hands, "While there is no one else now."
Xiang Huan lowered his eyes, and there was a smile on the corners of his lips and brows, "Let me kiss you again."
The skin held by his palm suddenly became hot, and Wanyao's face turned red instantly. When he leaned down, she hurriedly turned her head away and put her hand on his chest, "No"
Xiang Huan had no choice but to stop in front, "Why not? I only kissed once, and it wouldn't be too much to kiss again, right?"
Because of his words, Wan Yao seemed to recall something, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and he quickly covered it up, "Who said we only kissed once."
She turned around, intentionally turned her back on him, "Obviously I've kissed him twice already."
"Twice?"
Xiang Huan was a little confused by what she said, but he stayed where he was and began to think suspiciously, "When did I kiss again No?"
&nb?. "
Speaking of this, Wan Yao paused again, "However, if parents insist on refusing, there is no other way, so I have no choice but to hold the wedding secretly without telling them."
Xiang Nantian was slightly taken aback when she heard this, and she gasped for breath. She thought she would say "I have no choice but to give up" in the second half of the sentence. She never thought that this seemingly quiet and obedient girl would have the courage to make such a deviant decision.
Probably seeing him surprised for a long time, Wan Yao smiled embarrassedly and added: "I promised Xiang Huan that he would not go back on his word."
After a while, Xiang Nantian sighed with emotion, shook his head and said, "This kid, what a virtue and ability"
Throughout a person's life, there are countless passers-by. Some people accompany them to the end of their lives, and some people leave halfway. However, there are very few people who will always stay where they are, willingly waiting for the other party to look back.
The so-called unswerving determination probably means this.
*
The spring of the third year of Xian'an.
A thunderstorm has accelerated the spread of diseases in the camp. The biggest problem they face right now is the lack of medicine. There are more than 10,000 wounded patients. The medical center in the city has spent all it has, but it is still a drop in the bucket.
The first batch of envoys who conscripted medicines still hadn't returned, so Ji Changchuan had to send people to the states and counties again to support the medicinal herbs. He sent the letter requesting the withdrawal of the troops back to Beijing to Chang'an, but it was like nothing.
It's been nearly a month.
? This tiger and leopard cavalry far away on the border seemed to be forgotten, and no news was sent back.
After Xiang Huan got well, he took Ji Changchuan's military order and cooperated with Yu Fei and others to patrol the city defense, and occasionally came to the camp to help after the shift.
Due to the shortage of medicinal materials, Wanyao was almost too busy to touch the ground. They dried and cooked them by themselves and couldn't keep up with the consumption speed, and soon the inventory gradually became empty.
It is really hard to make a living without rice, and when the weather clears up that day, she will take people up the mountain to collect herbs. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
