Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 222
The rain poured down, and later, a soldier rushed back with people in the rain.
There was a commotion outside. All the soldiers were asking him about the young man’s news. Gu Yin also stood up and stood by the door.
However, what was disappointing was that she could no longer find any trace of the young man when he returned to the mountain, and the elite guards of Chunshui Town rushed back. With a few of them, they could no longer fight through and the group retreated. Finally they got out without downsizing.
“Why is there the smell of cooking? You still have the heart to eat at this juncture?” The teenager said with hatred.
“It wasn’t us, it was the woman who the general saved.”
The young general stared at the door of the main hall, but he did not forget the appearance of the woman.
Gu Yin didn’t notice it, just bowed her head slightly, stood there quietly, and completely covered her eyes.
“Don’t care about them, patrol the place as usual, and we’ll send someone out to search when it’s dawn.”
Everyone responded and returned to their posts.
And Gu Yin was still standing. She didn’t know how long she had been standing.
She stood there until the sky was dark. The rain was getting lighter, and Second Master Wen in the hall could hear a uniform snoring sound, and then heard the soldiers outside cheering, “The general is back!”
The young man was unkempt, covered in blood, and the fitting birthmark on his face had also fallen off, revealing a thumb-length red scar on the side of his face.
He shoved everyone who was about to jump on him, and said with a hearty smile, “Why are you yelling? Didn’t you know I was coming back?”
All the soldiers had red eyes and crowded him in.
When he entered the ruined temple, he saw the main hall with bright fire and a warm room, and a slender figure standing quietly at the door.
In the wilderness, the night wind blew her ill-fitting dress with bulging sleeves and flying her jacket, as if she was going to go with the wind at any time.
The young man slowed down unconsciously.
“You’re back?” She asked softly, her voice still hoarse.
“Well, I’m back,” he also replied softly.
“I left you hot porridge, you can drink some.”
“Okay,” the young man followed her in.
The soldiers who came in were embarrassed to follow, and someone even muttered strangely, “It’s strange, why did I suddenly blush?”
“Me too, I feel like I shouldn’t be here anyway.”
The young general also had a redness climb his ears, and began to chase people, “Go, go and do your own thing.”
Gu Yin wiped her eyes with the back of her hands, squatted down and started scooping the porridge, and said in a small voice, “It’s been boiled a long time ago, but eat a little to warm your stomach first.”
The young man whispered, “Okay.” After taking the bowl, he finished it in a few sips and said, “It’s delicious.”
It was really delicious.
At that time, he was holding the Emperor and was forced to a cliff, with no way forward and no retreat.
Fortunately, he had been there before, and vaguely remembered that there were many vines underneath.
He reached out and twisted Emperor Longqing’s neck. Before the Emperor could call for help, he threw him in the opposite direction and jumped down at the same time.
He was tall, and he fell even more vigorously than ordinary people. Even if he grabbed the vines with both hands, he fell more than ten feet before stabilizing his body.
The guards on the back mountain began to shoot arrows, and at the same time they came down from other mountain roads to search.
He could only change course and climb up from another place.
It was dark at night, and he also had a lot of injuries on his body. When he was out of strength, he didn’t know what to do, but he thought of the bowl of noodles that Gu Yin cooked for him before the incident.
It was hot and fragrant, the chicken was soft and tender, and the sauerkraut was just right. If he could eat a bowl on that cold windy and rainy night, how happy would he be?
Although there were no such noodles at the moment, a simple bowl of vegetable porridge would also be very delicious.
The stomach became hot, and the young man let out a long sigh in comfort.
“I was, I was…” Gu Yin took a deep breath, not knowing how to explain.
“You did a good job.” The young man said warmly, “Better than them.”
He was also not good at complimenting people, so he paused and said dryly, “You are more obedient than them. If you were a man, you would be a good soldier.”
Old Master Wen almost laughed out loud when he heard it.
“The injury on your hand…” Hearing that he didn’t blame her, Gu Yin’s eyes fell on his hand holding the bowl.
His hands were full of blood, especially the hand that grasped the sharp arrow, which was even more bloody.
“Does it hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt.”
Gu Yin looked at him helplessly. Why was he trying to deceive her as if she was a child?
The young man said with a smile, “Okay, it hurts a little.”
Both of them were very embarrassed, one with blood all over his face, like a ghost crawling out of the underworld, the other with a messy bun and a white and black face, but they both smiled together.
“Cough, cough!” Old Master Wen cleared his throat and turned to look at the young man first and said, “You go and bandage the wound first. Is the meal she cooks an elixir? Can it cure your wound?” Then he said to Gu Yin, “The porridge is fragrant, can’t you give me a bowl to eat?”
The two had to be separated because of what he said. The young man went to find someone to bandage the wound and apply medicine, while Gu Yin stayed in the hall and scooped out a bowl of vegetable porridge and delivered it to the old man.
“If you are hungry, you should have told me earlier.”
Old Master Wen snorted and gave her a look.
Even a fool could tell that something was wrong with Gu Yin before. Since the young man had not returned at that time, she had no intention of eating.
“You can’t do this.” Old Master Wen swallowed a mouthful of hot porridge and said, “What’s his last name? Does he have a family? Did you find out?”
“No, no.” Gu Yin’s voice was like a mosquito, “We met by chance, so how can I ask these questions?”
“What do you mean by not inquiring about these things?!” Old Master Wen stared at her anxiously. The young man was in his twenties. At this age, he should have married a long time ago, and he was more likely to be the father of several children. Although Girl Gu had married someone and was a widow, she should never be a concubine.
Gu Yin felt his gaze on her and didn’t dare to look up.
“Shut up for a while, and I’ll ask,” Old Master Wen shoved the empty bowl back into her hand in spite of the moment.
Gu Yin’s voice became lower, no different from mosquito humming.
However, before the old man could talk to the young man, when the morning light was dim outside, a carrier pigeon flew over.
The young man walked in quickly with the wound that was not bandaged and the blood on his face that had not been cleaned, “The reinforcements are here, we were going to attack Qingjing Mountain. You go first!”
Gu Yin helped Old Master Wen, and he woke Second Master Wen up , who had been sleeping without knowing what year it was, and brought Manager Zhou and Master Yuan to Hanshan Town.
Before parting, the young man looked at Gu Yin, and she was also looking at him.
“You…” Gu Yin opened her mouth, thousands of words came to her lips, but finally she only said one sentence, “Take care.”
