Extra story about the cold borderland in the desert (2)(1/2)

After confirming Wei Yaowan's whereabouts, Wei Tongzhi, a father, had to make such a thankless decision. Wei Yaoqing returned home leisurely. The copy of the Great Heavenly Master's seal that was placed on the table grandly had already been made.

She put it away. She had thought that no one would have the courage to come to her and steal things, but it turned out that there were still some. And the people who stole the duplicate seals were full of flaws.

By the way, what was stolen was not only the copy of the seal, but also her clothes. Wei Yaowan, who has always been well-behaved and sensible, naturally would not have clothes suitable for traveling far away. She has the most such clothes. Or to be precise, it is

She dug out her spare baggage. She would often travel far away unexpectedly for various reasons, so she would prepare some baggage for the trip. What Wei Yaowan stole was the baggage she prepared.

I really ran away from home with her "help" from head to toe.

Could it be that her Great Heavenly Master's Mansion's security was too lax? Wei Yaoqing thought to herself.

"What's for dinner tonight?" Pei Zongzhi walked in from outside the door and asked her seriously what she wanted to eat, "I want to eat plum pork ribs."

The cook in the house was recruited from Zao Gao, and the dishes he made were unexpectedly appetizing, especially to the appetite of the person in front of him.

"The chef your greedy maid hired is really good." He swallowed and commented, "The food he cooked is really delicious."

Chef Fang not only made good dishes, but also made good snacks. He successfully won the favor of the jujube cake and attracted the attention of the person in front of her who was talking to herself and stayed in her house.

"Then go and ask Chef Fang to add another dish." She said and sighed, looking at the memorial with a few words written in front of her, and frowning slightly.

Pei Zongzhi leaned over and took a look, and said "Huh": "The Department of Yin and Yang is short of talisman doctors? Have you started to recruit wise men from all over the world?"

"Mr. Sun is old and willful, and he has often done things like testing poison with his own body." Wei Yaoqing smiled bitterly twice and said, "Of course I wish him well, but now the Yin and Yang Division relies entirely on this

It’s really not possible for Sun Gong to support the Fu doctor who doesn’t know where he is. Originally, I had no choice but to prepare to use Qin Yue people, but I didn’t expect that after I went to the southwest, something happened to him, and now I’m short of people!”

The thirteen subjects of Yin and Yang are all exquisite, and it is impossible for the entire Yin and Yang Department to have people who are good at every subject. Some things that are rarely used in daily life can only be handled by someone with a familiarity like her, but Doctor Fu

different.

Why can't we get sick? Physical diseases are diseases, and spiritual diseases are also diseases. How have you ever seen the Imperial Medical Office empty of people? But there is no one in the Department of Yin and Yang who can treat spiritual diseases. There is no one who can do it.

The missing grandson? This is obviously impossible.

The girl had a headache after knocking on the table. Therefore, it is not easy to be a great heavenly master. She would not take action in ordinary matters, but such a big matter requires her to make the decision.

"This... I really can't help you." Pei Zongzhi sighed, "I can't become a powerful talisman doctor either."

It's hard for a clever woman to make a meal without rice, and there are things that they can't do, especially ordinary people.

Following the convoy all the way north, the closer we get to the border, the more deserted it becomes, and most of the people we see on the road have sallow faces.

Aunt Qin, who was in the same car, saw her looking intently out of the window and couldn't help but sigh: "This time, we brought some easy-to-grow grains, but I don't know if we can grow them well."

Wei Yaowan's eyes turned from the window to the car and looked at her, looking like she was listening carefully.

When Aunt Qin saw this, she pointed outside and said, "Miss Wan has never farmed before! Chang'an is a prosperous land, so you don't have to worry about food. Sometimes there is no meal here, and our nursery people are always here."

Look for grains suitable for planting."

The rice grain accompanying the team has to be transported to the army. The soldiers who are risking their lives naturally cannot let them go hungry. How to make the people self-sufficient is what the people of the nursery have to do.

"The government also allocates money to our nursery school, but the monthly salary is very small, and we stay in such a place without enough food all year round. There are really too few people who are willing to come here."

"Then why does Aunt Qin work for the nursery?" Wei Yaowan was a little surprised.

"I am from here!" Aunt Qin pointed to the beacon tower not far away with beacon smoke burning. "My elders in the family had the opportunity to go to Chang'an. They lived a good life, but they can't forget this place."

Wei Yao seemed thoughtful: "Do you forget your hometown?"

"That's more or less what I mean." Aunt Qin smiled, her weather-beaten face showing some shyness that she didn't usually have, "My man is also in the army, so I can be closer to him here."

"Although we may not see him more than a few times throughout the year, I feel more at ease every time I get closer to him."

Wei Yaowan nodded, her eyes fell on the mountains not far away, and murmured: "That's true." But compared to Aunt Qin, her thoughts were hard to explain.





This time, the nursery brought not only some new varieties of grain seeds, but also a female gentleman who taught everyone how to read. Although this female gentleman always blushed and said that she was just an "ordinary person" when everyone called her husband.

"She is not worthy of being a husband, but everyone is still happy to call her that."

Not everyone can afford pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and more people hold folded tree branches of different sizes on the ground crookedly and write the learned calligraphy stroke by stroke in the wind and sand.

There were adults and children, men and women. For the first time in her life, Wei Yaowan felt that she had read too few books. If she had learned more before, could she teach them more?

There seem to be a lot fewer people than usual today. They are probably busy doing things. After all, people have to eat, so there must be someone working.

Wei Yaowan held the hand of a crying child who couldn't write well no matter how he wrote, and taught him to write a word stroke by stroke.

"This word is pronounced in Chinese, and we are Han people."

The seven or eight-year-old child repeated after her, seeming to understand.

Wei Yaowan reached out and rubbed the child's weed-like hair and sighed. Just as he was about to say something comforting, he suddenly heard a noise outside.

Several people ran over excitedly: "Major General Huang and the others are here!"

The battle with Dawan and the Xiongnu had both victories and defeats, but no matter how they fought, they were firmly protected behind the Dachu soldiers, and the Chu army did not let the foreigners cross the line.

Rest and recuperation, not every day there is a battle, whether it is the Chu army or the foreigners, there is a time to rest and recuperate after a battle. The soldiers of the Chu army will come here occasionally to take a look at the people they protect.

"Sir, let's come here today!" Some people collected the smoothed tree branches, which were the pens they made themselves. He stood up and said, "We have almost enough cured bacon at home. Send them some more meat."

"

Wei Yaowan nodded: "Then let's stop here today!" The people gradually dispersed, but after a while, she was the only one left in the room. It's not that they don't like reading, but it's just that it's rare to see these soldiers once. The people use

In his simple way, he expressed his gratitude to these soldiers.

Wei Yaowan put her hand on her chest: She had actually not thought about that name for a long time, thinking that the wind and sand on the border had gradually calmed down her unrealistic thoughts. Unexpectedly, when she heard that name, her heart would beat wildly.

He sighed heavily, calmed down, and carefully put away the books on the table. Pens, inks, paper, and inkstones were luxury items here, and they were naturally the most cherished items.

I walked out with a few books in my arms and found that the sky had been covered with dark clouds at some point. It looked like it was going to rain in the border area where it rarely rains all year round. This is a good thing. If there is rain, the grain seeds will grow.

It was even better. She hugged the book tightly and walked not far away when heavy raindrops hit her body.

It's raining. It's such a good weather! It seems that you can still faintly hear the cheers of the people in the distance. Wei Yaowan took off his cloak and wrapped the books tightly in the cloak, making sure not to get the books wet.

But before he could even take two steps, he was grabbed by someone.

"Who?" Wei Yaowan turned her head, her face wet with rain and could hardly open her eyes. She could only squint and try to identify the person holding her.

An umbrella blocked the sudden heavy rain. Wei Yaowan reached out and wiped the rain on his face. He saw clearly the person holding the umbrella for him. When he saw the person in front of him clearly, his face immediately turned red.

"Huang...Major General Huang!" After shouting this, she quickly lowered her head, not having the courage to look up at him again.

God knows what she looks like now. Her eyes are squinted, her hair is unkempt, and her whole face is almost crowded together. She looks back at him. She only has a few robes going back and forth. She came out in a hurry, hid it from her family, and even stole the sixth sister's.

The clothes, worn back and forth over the past few months, have become frayed at the edges.

She was not a good-looking person to begin with, but now she was the ugliest in her life for him to see! Wei Yaowan felt a wave of despair in her heart. If she were a man, she would have been scared away!

"Sure enough, it's you." There seemed to be a suppressed smile in the clear voice, "Miss Wei is actually here."

Wei Yaowan nodded casually, hugged the book tightly, lowered his head and almost buried it in the book.

"I've seen the cloak you're wearing, it must be from the Great Heavenly Master!" Major General Huang said, "I'm still surprised! They're not talking about Miss Wan, but if you look closely, it's really you!"

Still looking carefully, Wei Yaowan felt more and more desperate.

The person opposite became quiet, as if she didn't know what to say. If she had encountered such a "relatively silent" scene on weekdays, she would have said hello and left. But now that the person opposite was him, she couldn't say that.

, I don’t want to say this from the bottom of my heart. After seeing him this time, I don’t know when I will see him again next time.

He stood awkwardly like this for a while, until a sigh sounded from the opposite side, seeming helpless.

"Miss Wei, have you lost something? Do you want me to help you find it?"

"No..." Wei Yaowan replied instinctively, then raised her head and forced herself to look at him, "Nothing was lost."

He was wearing a silver armor uniform and looked spotless. She looked at the dusty uppers of her shoes and almost cried in her heart, but she could only force herself to look at him and show a dry smile.

: "Huang...Major General Huang, I didn't lose anything."

Major General Huang looked at her, reached out and took the book in her arms and said, "Let's talk while we walk!"

Wei Yaowan nodded and took two steps. Seeing that he didn't speak, she was instinctively afraid of such a weird atmosphere, so she said, "Major General Huang, the military thinks of me as the sixth sister!"

"The cloak belongs to the Great Heavenly Master. I've seen it before." Major General Huang said, "But before I came here, I heard them talking about Miss Wan, so I guessed it was you. I thought it was strange, so I came over to take a look."

"My sixth sister is very good!" Wei Yaowan said, "She went to the southwest to cure the epidemic and quell the civil unrest."

"I heard that the Great Heavenly Master is indeed not an ordinary woman." Major General Huang followed her words and praised her.

Wei Yaowan said again: "Yes! My sixth sister is the most powerful," her tone couldn't help but feel a little more proud, "Everyone takes great care of me because I am the sister of the Great Heavenly Master.

"

"You..." Major General Huang seemed to want to say something, but he paused for a while and did not speak.

It became quiet again, Wei Yaowan thought for a while and then said: "My sixth sister gave birth to a very beautiful child..."

Major General Huang seemed to have fallen silent. He didn't know if he was thinking of something else. He didn't say anything. He looked ahead and was almost at the nursery hall.

"I learned a lot about things here only after reading "Border Scenery" written by Sixth Sister. She also drew a topographic map of the Western Regions. She..."

"Of course the Great Celestial Master is not an ordinary woman. I respect and appreciate the great Celestial Master, a figure who is not inferior to men. However, Miss Wei, you keep talking about the Great Celestial Master in front of me. Could it be that you are trying to imitate matchmaking?

Can't you bring me two together?" The two of them walked to the corridor of the nursery hall. Major General Huang breathed a heavy sigh of relief, "Miss Wei, don't you know that the Great Celestial Master and Mr. Pei have a mutual affection?"
