The more Yu Heng listened to the deafening thunder outside, his thick black eyebrows could not help but frown.
"Yu Qi, but it's going to rain heavily again?"
"Back to the general, it looks like a heavy rain is coming. Mr. Kongqing hasn't come back yet, and the embankment of the Suihe River has not been completely built yet. If there is another heavy rain, I'm afraid it will..."
Yu Qi spoke quickly, and accidentally expressed all the worries in his heart.
He then thought that the general had not recovered yet, so he shouldn't have said so much, otherwise he should be worried.
"Yu Qi, take people to pick up Mr. Kong Qing right away. Move the reinforcement of the river embankment to a later stage and ask the soldiers to withdraw. Go right away."
There will be heavy rain soon. It is very dangerous to build the Suihe River embankment now. If you are not careful, it will be washed away by the flood.
The people on both sides of the Suihe River have already settled down. The reinforcement of the river embankment can be postponed until the rain stops. There is no rush for this short period of time.
But Kong Qingren didn't come back, and he was worried.
It had been raining heavily in Suizhou for a whole month before, and many parts of the mountain collapsed. Now it is raining again, and landslides may occur again if there is no protection.
And even though Kong Qing has great medical skills, his body is really weak and he has no martial arts skills at all. If something happens to him, his situation will be very dangerous.
At this moment, Yu Hengyue wished he could get up and go find Kong Qing himself.
Kong Qing is the hope of the people of Suizhou, and there must be no problems.
He is now full of energy but not strong enough. Although his complexion is much better than before and he is not out of breath when talking, after all, he has not fully recovered yet.
What he had was a plague, not an ordinary cold. If he forced himself to go out and deal with things now, it would only make things more and more chaotic.
I can only wait for news from my subordinates in the room.
Listening to the pounding rain outside and the bursts of thunder echoing in the sky, Yu Hengyue kept praying in his heart that everyone who went out to collect herbs would come back safely.
He had never believed in God, but now he sincerely hoped that there really was a God in this world who could protect them and return safely.
Yu Hengyue could do nothing but lie in bed and wait for news of their return.
The longer he waited, the more worried he became. Lying in bed, he was so agitated that it was difficult to turn over, and he felt faintly worried in his heart.
Several times he wanted to get up and go out to see for himself, but he was too weak.
He had no choice but to lie on the bed, clasping his hands at his side, staring at the bed curtain above with wide eyes, waiting extremely anxiously in his heart.
For the first time, he felt that time passed so slowly. He didn't know how long it had passed. It was not until the sky outside had completely darkened that he heard the noisy voices outside.
"Yu Qi, Yu Qi, Yu Qi——"
As soon as he heard the noise, Yu Hengyue immediately called his entourage's name.
"General, my subordinates are here."
Yu Qi had just come back from outside when he heard the general's anxious voice. He subconsciously wanted to open the door and enter the room to see if the general was feeling uncomfortable. Fortunately, Yu Hengyue stopped him in time.
"Don't come in. Have Mr. Kong Qing and the others returned safely?"
He didn't want to infect his subordinates again before he recovered. He just heard the noise outside and wanted to know if the people who went up the mountain had returned safely.
"I'm back, it's just Mr. Kong Qing... Mr. Kong Qing, why are you here?"
As soon as Yu Qi mentioned Kong Qing, he saw that the man who had always been dressed in white clothes was now covered with dirty dirt, and the white clothes on his arms were even stained a little red.
Looking at his red-stained sleeves, Yu Qi had a worried look on his face and was about to ask him to deal with his injuries first, when he saw Kong Qing put his hand in front of his lips and shook his head at him and made a hiss.
action.
"What happened to Yu Qi? But what happened to Mr. Kong Qing?"
The more Yu Heng listened to him talking, there was no sound outside the door. He was so anxious that he sat up from the bed and wanted to walk out.
"I'm fine. I wanted to come and see how you are doing. From the way you look a little energetic, I think you're recovering well, so I'm relieved. I'll go and process the medicinal materials the soldiers brought back later.
I'll make some medicine for you later, and you can take care of it with peace of mind."
After Kong Qing said this, he left.
Yu Hengyue still wanted to ask him, but hearing that his footsteps had already left, he had to give up.
"Yu Qi, is Mr. Kong Qing injured?"
Although he said he was fine, Yu Hengyue still felt that something was wrong, and his voice sounded much more tired than usual.
"Um, General, Mr. Kongqing...it's okay."
"Huh? Yu Qi, when did you learn to lie to me, General?"
Yu Qi listened to his general's deep voice. Even though he was not facing the general's serious and ugly face, he was still shocked by the majesty in the tone.
He had no choice but to say sorry to Kong Qing in his heart, and then tell Yu Hengyue exactly what happened.
After hearing this, Yu Heng felt extremely guilty and worried about Kong Qing's injuries, so when Kong Qing brought him the soup later, he kept staring at his left arm closely.
Seeing that the movements of his hands were much slower than before, he stared at him with no expression on his face and confirmed: "You are injured."
Kong Qing paused his hands and looked at him with raised eyebrows, "You can see this. He is indeed a man who has been wounded many times in the battlefield. He has rich experience."
Kong Qing knew that he couldn't hide this matter. He looked a little embarrassed just now when he came back, and it was inconvenient for him to see him. Now he still had the intention to tease him, just to tell him indirectly that he was fine.
"Don't worry, I am a doctor myself and have already taken care of it. Now that you have the strength, get up and drink the medicine by yourself."
"Hey, I suddenly felt a little tight in my chest and felt dizzy. Tsk——"
When Yu Heng saw him putting the medicine aside, he was about to leave. He didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he put his hand on his head and shouted unconvincingly.
His voice was so artificial that Kong Qing knew as soon as he heard it that he was pretending. He just looked back at him and said with disgust, "Childish."
Hearing the sound of him going out and closing the door, Yu Hengyue realized the fact that his acting skills were really too clumsy.
He sighed deeply and stared at the steaming soup on the table next to him. Finally, he resigned himself to sitting up and drank the medicine obediently.
This was the first time he drank medicine by himself since he was infected with the plague. Why did he feel that the medicine was more bitter today than before? This chapter has been completed!
