Ying Huaixu's call made Ling Yutong suddenly break away from his thoughts.
"Um?"
She looked sideways at him, a little embarrassed in her eyes.
"Sorry, what did you just say?"
Although no matter how she looked at it, she didn't feel that the person in front of her was already thirty-five, but the other person said so, so she just followed him.
Well, since she is less than twenty years old, she needs to be addressed with respect...right?
The corners of Ying Huaixu's lips curled up, and it seemed that he was not offended at all.
"I say, Miss Ling is a woman, but she cares about the world. She sympathizes with the safety of the soldiers, and she is not willing to risk her own life. She went to the northern Xinjiang in person. She is an example of women's benevolence and makes us feel ashamed.
"
Ling Yutong was silent.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Ying Huai Xu intently.
"ashamed?"
She chewed the word between her lips and teeth, shook her head, and looked thoughtfully at the food that was carried down by categories all over the floor.
"How could you say that?"
"Look, the ground here is full of the grain that you worked so hard to transport from the capital. Like me, the capital is so far away from northern Xinjiang. Didn't you come here after a long journey?"
"I think, with your current official status, you definitely have this choice."
"And since you chose to come, you must have great love and come here to pay attention to the status of the soldiers, right?"
Ying Huaixu looked at her slowly.
"I didn't know that Miss Ling is not only good at medicine, but also good at eloquence. When she praises people, she also speaks straight from the bottom of her heart."
Ling Yutong smiled faintly and did not answer.
Things unloaded from the convoy were transported to the warehouse in the camp.
Qi Yan finally got free and turned to look at them.
"Finished counting? Is there any mistake?"
Ying Huaixu took a step forward and subtly blocked Qi Yan's steps towards Ling Yutong.
Qi Yan turned around to take the order and nodded: "That's right, Lord Marquis is busy and will come over later."
He stood still, even though he didn't move towards Ling Yutong, his eyes were locked on her.
He even raised his eyes to look at the sky, and then said seriously: "The wind is a little colder today. I remember that you hung some handkerchiefs to dry outside the tent at noon. They should be dry now."
"If I don't take it down soon, I'm a little worried it will rain."
"Ah? Yes."
Ling Yutong was reminded like this and his mind cleared up instantly.
She shrugged helplessly and said quickly: "Thanks for reminding me, I have to go there quickly!"
The handkerchiefs she dried out were soaked in concoction for the soldiers. If they got wet by sudden rain, they could not be used a second time.
It will affect the speed of recovery of soldiers!
She reminded him without doubt that he was there, which made Ying Huaixu squint his eyes.
However, his movements were so subtle that no one really saw them.
Ling Yutong, on the other hand, turned around and walked away quickly. With a flick of her long hair, she touched Ying Huaixu's hand.
She didn't realize it herself, but Ying Huaixu tensed her body subconsciously.
Qi Yan glanced at him suspiciously.
But other than that, Ying Huaixu didn't show any strange expression. When he noticed Qi Yan's gaze, he even closed his eyes gently, as if he was gently smelling the scent of Ling Yutong's hair that had not dissipated.
Qi Yan: "..."
He lowered his eyes and looked at Ying Huai Xu with a frown.
Ying Huaixu laughed, opened his eyes, and said without hesitation or shyness: "I haven't smelled such a fresh fragrance in a long time."
"I lost my composure for a moment, please don't take offense, little friend Qi."
As he spoke, he asked with concern: "I smelled it just now, and the fragrance was like plum blossoms, but... plum blossoms don't bloom in autumn, right? So, can I ask her how to lock the plum blossoms?"
The fragrance is on your hair, it’s really wonderful.”
He showed such an intoxicated expression again. Although his expression could not be seen clearly through the mask, his slightly narrowed eyes and the smile on his lips made it difficult for people to miss his mood.
In other words, he didn't even think about hiding it.
This made Qi Yan feel extremely disgusted.
There is an indescribable sticky feeling.
After saying this, Qi Yan's face turned completely cold: "Yutong is my family, please Sir Ying, please keep your attitude calm in the future."
"She doesn't need the exclusive attention of her elders."
"In the camp, if something happens to you, Master Ying, just come to me. I'll be there at any time."
"I'm just asking for a recipe for locking incense, why should I do that?"
Ying Huaixu chuckled and raised his eyebrows.
Qi Yan didn't say anything. He just looked at Ying Huaixu intently. The aura around him was like thousands of miles of ice, and it was so scary.
"Okay."
"I'm just kidding, there are locking fragrance prescriptions everywhere, but the one on Miss Ling's hair smells especially better."
He raised his hand and gently patted Qi Yan's shoulder.
During the movement, his sleeves fell down a little, revealing the white cloth underneath.
It looks like a bandage.
But it didn't look like the bandage was wrapped around a wound. With a quick glance, Qi Yan could see clearly that the bandage was extremely tight, so tight... it was as if the person wearing the bandage didn't want anyone to see his naked body.
A trace of arm skin.
strangeness.
Qi Yan raised his eyelids and followed his words: "Really?"
"Since it's common, there's no need to ask."
"Sir Ying, if your arm is injured and the bandage is wrapped too tightly, it will be detrimental to the recovery of the wound. How about..."
Before he finished speaking, his hand was like an eagle's talon, and he suddenly attacked Ying Huaixu.
It shouldn't have failed.
but……
Qi Yan's eyebrows twitched when he saw Ying Huaixu avoiding his outstretched hand at a speed he didn't expect.
"Sir, if the wound is wrapped too tightly, the blood will not flow."
"I just want to help you, I don't mean any offense."
The corners of Ying Huai Xu's smiling lips curved into a straight arc.
"Oh, I didn't mean to offend you. It's just that I don't like being in close contact with others. I apologize if I frightened you."
He shook his sleeves and did not step back, but when he lowered his hands to straighten his sleeves, he subconsciously avoided Qi Yan.
That happened to be a position where he could react in time and completely avoid Qi Yan.
Qi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly.
Something's not right, the bandage on Master Ying's hand.
Whose wound is so tightly wrapped that it doesn't bleed?
"My wound was smaller, and I didn't want it to feel like a fan in the bandage. It felt really uncomfortable, so I... tied it a little tighter. Don't be offended, it's a personal... bad habit that I can't change.
That’s all.”
He was actually explaining.
This has a somewhat intimate and exploratory meaning.
So Qi Yan followed his words and asked, "Oh?"
"To be honest, I have never heard of your name before, but is it because of this injury?"
After all, just because the wound is small doesn't mean it's not serious.
Sure enough, Ying Huaixu smiled.
He seemed helpless, shaking his head with a gloomy feeling. Then after adjusting his sleeves, he raised his hand and pointed at his face.
"Little friend Qi guessed it correctly."
"Do you know why I wear this mask?"
"It's not because I like it, or I want to pretend to be mysterious, it's just because... I have to wear it."
"oh?"
"Want to hear the details?" Qi Yan straightened his expression.
Ying Huaixu said in a very calm tone: "Because, I suffered a fire."
"The fire was like a tongue, licking everything around me crazily... Everything collapsed, and the little girl I saved also fell to the ground with a weak face."
"I didn't want to see such a scene, so I really never saw that little girl again."
Qi Yan's pupils shrank.
The fire, the little girl, reminded him of a very long time ago.
No, it’s not that long ago. It was probably more than ten years ago, right?
He has just become enlightened and understands some things.
"You mean... you are the hero who rushed in to save a little girl during the fire?"
Even though he was young at the time, he had heard of this incident.
A large-scale fire broke out in the east end of the capital, and a heroic official rushed in to save the crying little girl.
I don’t know whose family the girl belongs to, and I don’t know why she stayed alone in the east end where there was no one at that time.
At that time, Tung Tau was not a prosperous place.
It was later the rise of prostitutes that made Dongtou completely prosperous, and Cheng Zhiyan is now the leader of them.
He remembered that he had once admired the heroic official who rushed into the fire. That person further solidified his belief in protecting his country in the future.
However, there was no news about the hero afterwards.
All I know is that the other party is an official with a high official position.
Pulling away from his memories, Qi Yan heard the person in front of him say:
"Can't talk about it."
"Heroes are always what the world calls them. People who are among them just do what they have to do at the moment."
Ying Huai Xu was calm and fearless.
Qi Yan should have admired him from the bottom of his heart, but...he subconsciously wanted to frown.
It doesn't feel right.
I always feel like something is missing.
But this time, before he could think clearly and how to respond, An Nanhou's steady and smiling words came from behind him.
At this point, his thoughts were completely interrupted. He watched the two people in front of him exchanging greetings and repeating the red tape of officialdom, suppressing the desire to frown.
…
"Ahhhh, it hurts!"
"If you complain about pain now, you won't be able to bear it even more when I give you the injection later."
Ruan Fu frowned and said.
His hand was extremely strong, pressing hard against Lai Che's body, which was almost bouncing up due to pain. There was no sign of exertion on his face, and the movements of his hand were particularly steady and firm.
"If you endure it for a moment longer and think about it, if you can't bear the pain, you will sleep forever and never feel the pain again."
Lai Che: "..."
Thank you, he felt more pain, it hurt like hell!
His forehead was already covered in cold sweat. If Ruan Fu hadn't been pressing him, he would have really bounced and arched up in pain.
But being forcibly suppressed is uncomfortable.
"Why did you suddenly get poisonous?"
Lai Che wanted to look up to the sky and roar, but in fact he used all his strength and the sound he made was like a cat scratching its itch.
Ruan Fu was not disturbed at all.
Lai Che struggled to speak out: "I...I'm so sick and sore, then...Songyue, she..."
It's hard for him to think of Song Yue at this time.
Ruan Fu lowered his eyes.
But the worst part is, he doesn't know where Songyue is.
*
Songyue was closing her eyes tightly, and her whole body was trembling. The environment she was in was obviously not cold, but... she seemed to be so cold that even her consciousness was close to nothingness.
In her hand, she was firmly holding what Ling Yutong wanted.
However, she couldn't cope with it and gave this thing to the lady.
In the extreme cold, she seemed to be hallucinating, seeing the double image of someone in front of her, moving from far to near.
Someone is calling her.
"Satsuzuki!"
"Wake up!"
Chen Qiu Shui's face became very dark. He bent down and picked up Song Yue who was completely unconscious, and then said: "Miss Qi, hurry up and use the horse."
Qi Yun nodded, her eyes also filled with worry.
"You ride a fast horse and take her to the Jingjiao Inn, room 30."
"There is someone out there who can save her."
After hearing what she said, Chen Qiushui said nothing, hugged the person and left without wasting any time.
The horse soon lost sight of its shadow.
Qi Yun knelt down and picked up something that Song Yue was holding on to even though she was unconscious. She turned around with a stern expression.
"Send a reliable person to take these things to Northern Xinjiang and give them to her."
I saw someone taking something and going to carry out the order.
Qi Yun pursed her lips and called out to the person again.
"Wait a minute, don't tell her what happened in the capital during this time."
"But if we don't tell the girl, won't she know?"
"I'm afraid..."
Qi Yun closed her eyes: "I know, but at least she doesn't want to know now, both for Northern Xinjiang and the capital."
"yes."
The person holding the things also left.
Qi Yun was left standing alone, her eyebrows drooped, not knowing what she was thinking.
She glanced at the blood stains on her hands and sighed softly.
The horse ran very fast, galloping all the way. Following Qi Yun's guidance, Chen Qiushui successfully arrived at the door of the inn room No. 30.
Ruan Fu heard the knock on the door, and as soon as he opened the door, his eyes darkened.
"Come in quickly and put her down."
Unexpectedly, the person who was worried just now was sent to him at this moment.
There was a strong smell of blood in the house.
Chen Qiu's expression did not change, but after he put Song Yue down gently, he turned his head and accidentally caught a glimpse of Lai Che, who was lying on the couch like a bloody man, and his pupils shrank.
He pursed his lips, glanced at Song Yue quickly, and clenched his fists.
"Does her toxicity need to be suspended like his?"
It can't be solved now, he knows.
His heart was lifted, and he couldn't help but feel distress rising from the bottom of his heart.
How painful would it be for her to undergo such a brutal treatment, and could she bear it?
"Oh, they're different."
Ruan Fu heard the trembling in Chen Qiushui's voice and turned around to say this.
But Chen Qiushui's heart was not relieved.
But I heard Ruan Fu say: "Don't just stand there. Her treatment will not be too bloody, but she still needs help. There is no one around, just you."
Who would have thought that it is true that it is not bloody, but...
The clothes that were suddenly taken off startled Chen Qiushui, and he was caught off guard by a touch of fair skin. His whole face turned red and he quickly turned his head away.
Ruan Fu raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing here? Give me the tools."
Chen Qiushui responded in a low voice, but his eyes were always focused on his stomach. He did not dare to raise his head, let alone offend.
Ruan Fu sighed in his heart, it was true that his thoughts were written on his face.
He was focused on nothing, but the more he followed the procedure, the more... he frowned.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm afraid, you have to find the person behind it quickly."
"The poison techniques used by unorthodox Gu Masters will damage the human body more and more as time goes by. If it really reaches a critical point... the consequences will be disastrous."
"And she and the one on the bed are almost inseparable even if they are not at the point of contact."
