In Maxing Village, Xi Jin was sitting on the bed. Seeing the sunset, it was already late. Xi Jin asked Lan'er anxiously: "Lan'er, do you know where this doctor lives?"
"I heard that there is no doctor in this village, only in the town. It takes an hour to get back and forth from this town." Lan'er saw the worry on Xi Jin's face and comforted, "Sister Jin, don't worry, Brother Xie is stable. Yes, nothing will happen."
"Well." Xi Jin patted Lan'er's hand, "It's getting late, you should go back first, otherwise your mother should be anxious."
"It's okay. My mother told me when I came out that I must take good care of you, Sister Jin."
"Without the care of you and Brother Xie along the way, we would not have been able to survive in Yazhou. Besides, without you yesterday, I would have definitely fallen into Master Feng's clutches." Lan'er said, lowering her head and silently wiping her tears.
"Don't be afraid, Lan'er, everything will be fine." Xi Jin gently hugged Lan'er and comforted her.
She couldn't help but feel sad in her heart. Yazhou was much more dangerous than she thought. She must find a way to gain a foothold here as soon as possible and not be easily manipulated!
"Lan'er, I've been in a coma for a day. Did the superiors say when you will be asked to do hard labor?" Xi Jin asked.
Lan'er nodded: "Early in the morning, the village chief told me that we, the women, will sew summer clothes for the soldiers in the army for the time being, and wash the clothes they changed."
"No need to go to the army?" Xi Jin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. She wanted to find out the truth about Shangguan Bao's assassination. If she didn't have the chance to go to the army, how could she find out the news?
Lan'er shook her head in panic: "The village chief said that General Gu has an order that no women can enter the army and disturb the morale of the army. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by military law."
"General Gu has strict military discipline." Xi Jin also listened to it yesterday and knew that General Gu was the superior of Vice General Liang and should be the highest general in the army at present.
"No, I heard that it was General Gu who put down the rebellion in Yongzhou." Lan'er showed a hint of admiration.
"It turned out to be him." Xi Jin thought of the white-robed general he saw when he entered the city yesterday, and his eyes couldn't help but darken a little.
At this time, there was a movement outside the window. Xi Jin quickly got off the bed and walked to the door. Sure enough, he saw that it was Xie Luo who had come back. He was so anxious that he almost cried: "You are back."
Xie Luo looked at the pretty woman standing at the door. Hearing her anxious and complaining tone, he felt relieved for some reason: "Why are you up? You're not cured yet. Go lie down quickly."
Xi Jin calmed down, looked at the big and small bags in his hand, and asked, "I'm much better now, but you, why have you been gone for so long?"
"I thought I had Lan'er at home to take care of you, so I stopped by to buy some things."
Xie Luo said, placing the big and small bags in his hands on the table, taking out a bag of snacks inside and handing it to Xi Jin: "You eat some snacks to fill your stomach first, and I'll make some medicine for you."
"Brother Xie is so kind to Sister Jin." Lan'er covered her mouth and laughed.
Xi Jin picked up a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth: "Our sister Lan'er will also meet such a good husband in the future."
Lan'er covered her face shyly: "Sister Jin knows how to tease me. If I don't tell you anymore, it's time for me to go back."
"Okay, then I won't keep you here either. Please go slower on the road."
"Don't worry, my mother and I live next door to you. I'll come see you tomorrow." Lan'er said, waving her hand and going home.
Xi Jin came to the kitchen and took the medicine bag from Xie Luo's hand: "I'll do it. I'm good at this. You must be tired from walking all the way back. Go drink some water and take a rest."
"How can that be done? You are a patient." Xie Luo refused righteously.
"I'm fine. If you don't believe me, you can touch me." Xi Jin raised his head and leaned forward. Xie Luo turned around, and the two of them were so close together that their breathing could be heard.
Xi Jin reacted for a while and quickly took half a step back. For a moment, he felt as if he was burning again and his face was very hot.
Xie Luo looked at the beautiful woman with a blushing face in front of him, and suddenly felt that the kitchen was so small, so small that he didn't even know where to go?
Xie Luo swallowed hard: "I'm going to drink some water."
Xi Jin looked at Xie Luo's panicked back, pursed his lips and smiled.
In order to cook medicine for her, Xie Luo even bought a medicine stove. Xi Jin put the medicinal materials into the medicine stove in a familiar way, lit a fire, and cooked the medicine.
Looking at the medicine in the furnace, Xi Jin suddenly realized a question: Where did Xie Luo get the silver to buy these things?
Xi Jin quickly put down the medicinal materials in his hand, opened the curtain and went into the room, where he saw Xie Luo sitting on the couch, looking down at his feet.
When Xie Luo saw Xi Jin coming in, he quickly put down his trousers and stood up: "Jin'er, what's the matter?"
Xi Jin glanced at the various things on the table and said calmly: "I suddenly thought, where did you get the money to buy these?"
Because of the rush of time last night, she didn't have time to tell him where she put the money. Moreover, she had just seen that her baggage was still there intact and had not been touched at all.
Xie Luo shrank his feet and said with a smile: "You forgot, before we set off, you told me that you sewed the silver into my shoes."
"I know, but..." This is what Xi Jin is worried about. She sewed the banknotes into his shoes, but if he wants to take out the banknotes from his shoes, then his shoes...he will How did you come back?
"Put your feet out and let me see."
"Jin'er, what's so nice about the feet of a grown man like me?" Xie Luo refused with an awkward look.
"Stretch out." Xi Jin stepped forward, pushed Xie Luo to sit on the couch, and raised his feet.
As expected by Xi Jin, Xie Luo's shoes were already in tatters, and the soles of his feet were very bloody due to wear and tear.
Xi Jin couldn't help but shed tears as he watched!
Xie Luo took back his feet and touched Xi Jin's forehead: "Jin'er, it's okay, just a few minor injuries. It's my fault that I walked in a hurry. The stitching of your shoes is quite strong."
Xi Jin wiped away her tears, raised her eyes and said, "I'll sew you a stronger pair next time."
"Okay, I like to wear shoes made by Jin'er." Xie Luo smiled softly.
The setting sun outside the window fell on his face, which was extremely warm, melting Xi Jin's heart little by little.
Xie Luo never thought that with just such a sentence, he would actually wear shoes that Mu Xi Jin had sewn all his life.
"Don't move, I'll give you some medicine." Xi Jin took out the remaining medicine from his bag and planned to give Xie Luo the medicine.
"No, no need." Xie Luo took the medicine from Xi Jin's hand, "I'll do it myself."
He also wanted Xi Jin to apply medicine for him, but thinking that his feet must be dirty after walking for a day, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Jin'er.
Xi Jin didn't force him, gave him the medicine, and went to the kitchen to look at the medicine stove...
