Chapter 1006: Jun Yings words: Vast clouds (Part 2)
In late August, the stab wound on my back was gradually getting better. Apart from the frequent itching of the wound, I could now walk and eat with ease.
The medical center where it was placed is located in a relatively secluded corner in the west of Chengdu. The Huaxia Army calls it a "health center." According to the caretaker, it may be "adjusted" in the future. Perhaps because of the location,
There were not many sick and injured people coming here every day, so Qu Longjun quietly visited a few of them when it was easy to move.
The small hospital where she lives is full of female patients. Occasionally, patients from the two rooms next door come to rest and take medicine, but none of them are as seriously injured as she is. Some local residents are not used to treating women at home.
He was kept in such a strange place to recuperate, so he often took the medicine and went back.
Qu Longjun no longer had such worries.
After staying here for a month, Qu Longjun was confused and scared at first, and then gradually became calmer. Although she didn't know what the Huaxia Army wanted to do with her in the end, after a month, she was able to
She felt that the people in the health center did not mean any harm to her.
Most of the time, she only came into contact with two people here.
Aunt Gu, who manages the health center, is fat and seems kind, but from her words, Qu Longjun can tell that she is calm and not simple. In some clues of her words, Qu Longjun can even hear that she has been
She was a woman who had gone to the battlefield with a sword. In the past, Qu Longjun had only heard of this type of character in dramas.
In addition to Aunt Gu, who takes care of her more because she is a woman, there is also the young doctor Long Aotian, who always looks cold. Although this young doctor with strong martial arts skills kills people profusely, he is also a bit unsmiling on weekdays.
, but after getting along for a long time, she let go of her initial fear, and she was able to feel the goodwill of the other party. At least she soon understood that after the fight in the early morning of July 21st, it was the little doctor who took action.
After saving her, he seemed to have some connections, so he came over every day to deliver meals to her and care about whether her physical condition had improved.
The book "Women Also Hold Up Half the Sky" seems to have been a gift from him. Later, several books appeared that taught people how to weave and make money, and how to run a small business.
She had been raised as a thin horse since she was a child, and she had made uneasy speculations in private, such as whether the little murderer had taken a liking to her because they were similar in age. Although he was cold and scary, he actually looked real.
It's pretty cool, but I don't know if I'll get beaten...
As for another possibility, the Huaxia Army was prepared to let her recover from her injuries before forcing her to work as a spy elsewhere. If so, it could explain why the little doctor came to check on her injuries every day.
These two thoughts were pressed deep in my heart, and I couldn't be sure for a while. I only thought about them occasionally and felt uneasy.
On August 24th, I had my last consultation, and in the last conversation, I mentioned that my partner’s brother was getting married.
After leaving the room, the young doctor walking in the yard turned back and glanced at the door here. At his age, it was difficult for him to make a detailed analysis of some hazy emotions. Naturally, the girl in the room did not pay attention.
Up to this point, it was just a simple afternoon for her.
On August 25, the young doctor did not come.
On the twenty-sixth day, Aunt Gu brought a small package to the room.
"Here are some things I want to pass on to you."
Aunt Gu said, and then she took out some banknotes and land deeds from the package. Qu Longjun recognized some of them as belonging to Wen Shoubin. Her identity deed was sandwiched among these documents, and Aunt Gu took them out.
It was torn off easily.
"It's wrong to say that your adoptive father, Wen Shoubin, entered Chengdu City to plot evil. However, an investigation was conducted here and it turns out that he did not do any serious evil after all... He failed to do what he wanted to do, and then he died.
Some things he brought to Chengdu were originally intended to be confiscated, but Xiaolong filed a complaint with you. Although he is dead, you are still his daughter in name, and these properties should be inherited by you... Appeal
It took a lot of time, Xiaolong has been running around these days, here, I brought them all for you."
Although Wen Shoubin is not a wealthy man in the outside world, he has been dealing with wealthy households and selling women for many years, and has accumulated considerable wealth. Not to mention the land deed in the package, which is just a gold and silver note worth hundreds of taels.
For an ordinary person, it is considered a wealth that can be used for half a lifetime. Qu Longjun's mind buzzed, and he stretched out his hand, but it was really difficult to understand this matter.
"This is..." Qu Longjun stretched out his hand, "Dr. Long gave it to me?"
"It's your adoptive father's inheritance." Aunt Gu said.
"But……"
Her mind was in a mess and she didn't understand why. She had been prepared for many people to covet him. The best outcome was that the young doctor of the Long family fell in love with her, and the worse outcome was naturally
She had not thought carefully about the worse consequences of letting her become a spy. However, why were all these things given to her?
She thought confusedly for a moment, then raised her head and said, "...Where's Dr. Xiaolong? Why didn't he come to give it to me? I...want to thank him..."
"Xiaolong." Aunt Gu sighed, "He left yesterday. Didn't he say goodbye to you the day before yesterday afternoon?"
"...He said his brother is getting married."
"Well, it's about getting married. He rushed back yesterday. After getting married, he still has to go to school. After all, he is not very old and his family doesn't allow him to run around. So I was asked to hand over this thing. There should be some
I won’t be coming to Chengdu for a while.”
"Studying..." Qu Longjun repeated, after a moment, "But... why?"
"what why?"
"You...Huaxia Army...what do you want to do with me? After all, I...came here with Wen Shoubin to cause trouble. You...this is..."
Her words were confused and tears fell unconsciously. She had been holding these words in her heart for the past month and could only speak them out now. Aunt Gu sat down next to her and patted her palm.
"You didn't do anything bad. How could you control yourself at such a young age? It's a good thing now. You'll be free in the future. Don't cry."
"Then I have to leave in the future..."
"Go... wherever you want to go, you can make your own arrangements." Aunt Gu smiled, "But your injury is not completely healed yet. You can think carefully about the future. Whether you stay in Chengdu or go to
In other places, it is up to you to make your own decisions, and no one will restrain you like Wen Shoubin did..."
Qu Longjun sat there, tears falling continuously. Aunt Gu comforted her for a while, and then left the room.
It's like a strange sea rushing in from all directions.
She only felt unfamiliar with the words "free" that Aunt Gu said, and she was so light that she couldn't grasp the weight. Although she was only sixteen years old, she had been living under the control of others since she could remember.
Father and mother, after their parents died, it was Wen Shoubin. In the past trajectory, if one day she was sold, the person who controlled her life would be the beloved who bought her.
Maybe he will still live dependent on his heirs - everyone lives like this, and there is nothing wrong with it.
When Wen Shoubin died, I felt scared at first, but then, I just fell into the hands of the Black Flag Army. When you understand that there is not much room for resistance in life, even the fear will fade away. The people of the Huaxia Army
Whether she is attracted to her, wants to do something to her, or wants to use her for something, she can clearly understand it. In fact, it is most difficult for her to resist.
But...free?
She thought of the cold-faced Dr. Xiaolong. In the early morning of July 21st, he saved her and healed her injury... In a month, they didn't even say a few words, and now he...
…left already……
……Why?
There were several books on the cabinet in the ward, as well as the package of notes and money. Some of the intangible things that were attached to her had left her at some point. She felt a little bit confused about this world.
Can't understand.
She thought of her dead father and mother.
Sometimes I also think of some memories of July 21st, and I think of the vague words that Doctor Long said.
"...little bitch, you look like a dead fish..."
Have we met before?
Why am I a little bitch?
We haven't met, have we?
Why are you scolding me...
These doubts were hidden in her heart, accumulating layer by layer. And more unfamiliar emotions also came up in her heart. She touched the bed, touched the table, sometimes walked out of the room, and touched the door frame, all of which were strange and sensitive.
When I think about the past and the future, I feel strange...
I didn't know how many times I cried in the room that night, and I gradually fell asleep at dawn. Two more days passed, and Aunt Gu only called her during dinner, but the young doctor never came. She thought of Aunt Gu.
I mean, I'll probably never see him again.
On August 29th, perhaps because she had been bored in the yard for too long, Aunt Gu took her out shopping, and Qu Longjun also agreed.
Since arriving in Chengdu, Qu Longjun has been locked up in that small courtyard and only goes out a handful of times. Only when he takes a closer look around can he feel the vitality of the southwest streets. He has not experienced much here.
In the flames of war, the Chinese army once again defeated the menacing Jurchen invaders. In July, a large number of outsiders entered, saying that they wanted to give the Chinese army a show of strength, but in the end they were taken care of by the Chinese army and were submissive. All of this was
Happened in front of everyone.
In August, the trial and execution of Jurchen captives at the military parade made countless onlookers excited. After that, the Huaxia Army held its first congress and announced the establishment of the Huaxia People's Government. A martial arts competition took place in the city.
It also began to reach its climax, and then the conscription was opened, attracting countless enthusiastic men to join the army. It is said that many businesses with the outside world were also finalized... By the end of August, this energetic atmosphere was still continuing. This was Qu Longjun's first appearance in the outside world.
An unseen scene.
But at the present moment, she was not in much mood to feel everything at the moment.
"Aunt Gu." Qu Longjun asked her when walking on the street somewhere: "Doctor Xiaolong...is he actually a descendant of a prominent family in the Chinese army?"
Aunt Gu looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong? Do you like Xiaolong?"
Qu Longjun smiled sheepishly: "No, but if I think about it carefully in the past two days, he can accomplish so many things. In the Chinese army, he must be more than just a small military doctor."
In the past few days, I had just resigned myself to the situation, so I did not delve into many details. My mind became more active in the past two days, and when I look back, I can find all kinds of unusual things. No matter what, I followed Wen Shoubin to cause chaos.
The bad guy, he is a little military doctor, how can he say that he will not pursue the case if he does not want to pursue it? Moreover, those land deeds and silver notes seem simple, and they add up to a huge amount of wealth. Even if the Huaxia Army is reasonable, he will not let himself be so readily
The "adopted daughter" inherits the inheritance.
I saw Aunt Gu smiling: "His family really needs to be kept secret."
"Then I won't ask." Qu Longjun smiled and nodded.
Time has passed August and entered September.
Qu Longjun began to learn to help in the health center.
After the initial confusion in her mind passed, more concrete things came to her eyes.
She occasionally thinks of her dead father.
My father died at the hands of the Chinese army.
Although she has been arranged by Wen Shoubin to move forward in the past time, after falling into the hands of the Chinese army, she is just a weak girl and does not need to think too much about her father. But at this moment, her father
But she had to face her own death.
Aunt Gu in the health center was very kind to her and taught her many things she didn't understand. She had also roughly accepted the concept that the Chinese Army was not a bad person, and even wanted to stay in the peaceful Chengdu for a long time.
There is a place to stay. But whenever I think about this matter seriously, my father's death appears in front of my eyes in a more obvious form.
I was puzzled by this for a long time.
She also occasionally read books, reading the descriptions in the book "Women Can Hold Half the Sky" and reading the livelihood skills mentioned in several other books. All of these are difficult to master in a short period of time. When reading these books, she remembered that
The cold-faced little doctor, why did he keep these books and what did he want to say? Why did the land deeds to Jiangnan still exist among Wen Shoubin's things he got back?
She thought of the little doctor's family background again. Was he a child of a wealthy family in the Chinese army?
...maybe we won't see each other again.
In this way, September gradually passed, and when October came, Qu Longjun plucked up the courage to say goodbye to Aunt Gu, and then confessed his thoughts - if he was still the thin horse and dominated by others, then
He lived wherever he was thrown, but now that he is no longer dominated by others, he cannot continue to stay here shamelessly. After all, his father died in the Xiaocang River. Although he was unbearable and driven by the Jurchens, he
No matter what, he is his father.
After hearing these things, Aunt Gu persuaded her several times, but when she found that she could not be persuaded, she finally just suggested that Qu Longjun wait for a while. Now, although the Jurchens have retreated, there will be no war between various places for a while, but there is no chance of war outside Jianmen Pass.
It's not peaceful. As a woman, she should learn more before leaving.
Qu Longjun stayed in Chengdu for another half month. On October 16th, he and Aunt Gu had a big cry and prepared to leave with the arranged caravan. Aunt Gu finally scolded her with a sad face: "You're so stupid
Stupid woman, in the future when our Chinese army goes out to fight, are you going to run away again and become a fool who doesn't eat Zhou Su?"
Qu Longjun took out the book "Women Also Hold Up Half the Sky" from his arms: "Now that I stay here, I have received your charity from beginning to end. If one day I can survive on my own outside,
, If you can really hold up half the sky, then you have to rely on your own abilities, and maybe my father will be able to forgive me."
Aunt Gu scolded her a few more times, and then made an agreement with her to come back and see her again in the future.
At this moment, the wind outside Chengdu was blowing up the dust from a long journey. The fat Aunt Gu didn't know why. This seemingly weak girl who was accustomed to being submissive just got rid of her slave status and showed such stubbornness. But.
If you think about it carefully, this kind of stubbornness is somewhat similar to that of the young boy who once dressed up as "Long Aotian".
Relying on her past skills, she dressed up in a simple and somewhat ugly look, and then set off with the traveling caravan. She could write and do calculations, and she had made an agreement with the caravan manager to help them with whatever she could during the journey.
A small worker. There may be some greetings from Aunt Gu behind her back, but in any case, once she leaves the range of the Chinese Army, she will be able to gain some skills.
The carriage gurgled, facing the morning sun, and drove towards the mountains in the distance. Qu Longjun stood on the carriage filled with goods and waved to the rear. Gradually, Aunt Gu who was standing outside the city gate was finally out of sight.
, she sat down on the carriage shaft.
The convoy moved forward.
Little bitch...
At some point, a vulgar voice seemed to ring in her ears. She turned around, and in the distance, the city of Chengdu had turned into a black line in her field of vision. Her tears suddenly fell again, and after a long time, she turned around again, and her field of vision
There are unknown roads ahead, and the world outside is wild and ferocious. She is very scared, very scared.
She rubbed her eyes.
"You are the little bitch..."
The slightly choked voice was scattered in the wind.
…
At the end of October, Aunt Gu went to Zhangcun and told Ning Ji, who was still in school, about Qu Longjun. Ning Ji was stunned at first, and then jumped up from his seat: "Why didn't you stop her! Why didn't you stop her?
Where is she! She’s going to die outside now! She’s going to die outside—”
The world is in chaos. How can such a delicate girl survive if she goes out? Even Ning Ji can clearly think of this.
…
At the same moment, the northern land howled with wind and snow, and the cold upper capital city. A game of power began to show results.
