In just two days, while taking care of the "crazy junior sister", Zhao Xiaomei also started to help and take care of no less than seven academy students who had returned from injury.
Among these disciples, more than half were injured while participating in battles, especially life-and-death hand-to-hand combat. Only a few were injured by accidental arrows.
You know, about a month ago, there was not much difference between them and Zhao Xiaomei. They were all handsome boys and girls around fifteen years old. Compared to Xiaomei, these seven disciples were just a little more brave and kind. With their reckless energy, they didn't have much impression of war, fighting, severed limbs, or screams.
But now, after returning from being injured on the battlefield, they no longer behaved uncharacteristically when they saw their little sister coming to take care of her. Ordinary etiquette will be observed, but if you have the choice to refuse Miss Zhao's kindness, you will never accept it.
"Miss Zhao, Miss Ajuan, you should go and help those who are in greater need." One of the disciples said: "Compared to the soldiers and civilians who bravely fought the enemy on the city wall, the damage we suffered is simply a drop in the bucket and is insignificant. They have to face such a terrible enemy every day...but we can't do anything."
Because most of the disciples in the Youyi Hall followed Tao Wuyong out, Tao Wuyong only sent He Zhong, a disciple he had accepted from Hongye Town, to stay behind, mainly to take care of the patients for him. This arrangement obviously did not take into account the injury of the academy disciple.
In order to take care of so many people, Ajuan has long been accustomed to hanging sweat towels on her shoulders and running back and forth every day, changing and delivering medicines to people to soothe their moods.
When faced with people who refused to receive medical treatment, she would always show pity and reply: "Who wants to take care of you! I am not afraid of being blamed by Mr. Tao, saying that I am lazy and have nothing to do all day long. I want it too Being liked by others..." This trick has been tried and true.
Bystanders saw this Miao girl standing in the corner aggrievedly, muttering: "At least, let me bandage your wounds..." However, for a moment, the injured disciple was afraid that his willfulness would cause Ajuan to be punished, and they all felt ashamed. accepted the help.
Zhao Xiaomei couldn't understand why these people who had actually been to the battlefield made such a choice. Even though they were seriously injured, they still refused help from others. It's just that she has experienced all kinds of things, and she has slowly made a decision in her heart - she wants to go to the battlefield to see.
Every day, Little Sister and Ajuan would take turns going to the "Crazy Junior Sister's" room to serve her meals and bedtime. They usually went there three times in the morning, noon and evening, and the last time they had to spend the night with her there.
Sometimes, the little sister really doubts whether this junior sister is really "crazy".
When it is Ajuan's turn, Ajuan will always be teased intentionally or unintentionally by the crazy junior sister: peeing on the bed, yelling and yelling to scare people are all commonplace, and what is even more frightening is that her face bites everything. Q. If Ajuan was a little lax and didn't tie her mouth with a cloth strip when they got along, it would be Ajuan himself who would suffer.
But the crazy junior sister treated Zhao Xiaomei very differently. Not only did she take the initiative to show her goodwill to the younger sister, she also took the initiative to pick up food for her to eat, hug her to sleep with her, and even played with her younger sister.
Otherwise, she just cries like a baby.
According to the medical instructions left by Tao Wuyong, Ajuan and Xiaomei had to replace the medicine on the injured face of the crazy junior sister every three days. It was only at this time that the two of them dared to look directly at that appearance.
They could clearly see that only the upper right corner of the entire face was intact. The rest of the face had been burned and burned beyond recognition, making it difficult to look directly at them. If any unsuspecting passerby saw this, they would definitely be horrified. He was so angry that he even dismissed him as a ghost and then ran away. No wonder Tiger Eyes wanted to wrap his junior sister's face in a bandage like that.
After the younger sister and Ajuan changed the medicine for the crazy junior sister that day, they knew that Ajuan alone could handle the situation in the academy that day, so they immediately ran to Su Qing and begged: "Su Qing, I want to go to the city gate. Take a look at the current status of the military, civilians, and the war, can you take me there?"
Su Qing answered simply, waved her hands to refuse, and said: "No, absolutely not! Your father and Brother Zhao are already magnanimous in letting you stay in the academy. How can they let you go to the battlefield to mess around again?" He looked around. , after confirming that the partition wall had no ears, he continued in a low voice: "The ten lives of our teachers and students at Yuyi Academy are not worth one of yours. Do you understand?"
"Why? I obviously didn't do anything. Compared with the soldiers fighting on the front line, my contribution is worthless..." Zhao Xiaomei was very angry and almost cried with excitement: "Just think of it as my personal opinion, it's me I want to go to the front line to express condolences to the soldiers and civilians. Although in fact, I just want to know how long Yuyi Town can be defended..."
Su Qing looked at the other party dumbfounded and sighed: "I can't believe that I thought you were just a coquettish young lady, but you have become so independent."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Xiaomei put her hands on her hips and replied arrogantly: "I haven't fallen to the point where I want to act coquettishly to you."
"Hahaha, I just think Brother Bai will like you very much now." Su Qing held her chin with one hand and replied maliciously.
When Zhao Xiaomei heard the other party mentioning this matter again, she couldn't help but became shy and said, "Don't change the subject! You...just tell me if you can take me there."
"Yes, of course." Su Qing said, "For you, I am willing to do anything."
"Tsk, sweet words can't fool me!"
"We will set off in the evening. It just so happens that I still have some information that I want to pass to the West City Gate."
The two of them just made an appointment and started making preparations immediately.
Since this was an unannounced visit, Zhao Xiaomei not only could not make a big splash, but also had to disguise herself as a commoner as much as possible. Therefore, everything was kept low-key, and almost no one in the academy noticed that she had sneaked out at night.
The two of them hurriedly arrived at the West Gate in a short time and handed the information to the guard at the West Gate. Then, the younger sister began to reveal her true appearance and claimed that she wanted to inspect the defenses everywhere.
The guard couldn't believe it at first, so he just said: "How could Miss Zhao appear in such a dangerous place?"
A servant was admonishing him: "Little girl, please leave quickly. This is not the place for you to stay!"
The young girl saw that all the soldiers in front of her were at a loss. At first, she really wanted to give up. Unexpectedly, when Fang was about to leave with Su Qing, another young boy crossed the battlements and came to report: "Sir, there are not enough stones to fill the holes in the city wall." Got it!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar! Zhao Xiaomei immediately turned around and asked, only to find out that it was the stone merchant Guo Shouyi who was no longer willing to sell the stone at a low price, so he used the excuse of running out of stone to shirk responsibility.
"Su Qing, take me to Uncle Guo's house quickly. Do you remember the way?" Zhao Xiaomei was so angry that others did not dare to say anything.
"Miss Zhao, I will certainly remember you." After saying that, Su Qing bowed to greet the younger sister before saying goodbye to the soldiers behind her.
The guard looked at the visitor's back helplessly and asked, "Is it possible that that is really Miss Zhao?"
"It is rumored that Miss Zhao is petite and has a lovely appearance... I think she is close to her." Halfway through the conversation, the guard knocked his head and said angrily: "You pervert! Go and organize the workers to prepare. Repair the city wall, if it’s not done before dawn, I’ll take it from you!”
No one knew whether the younger sister Su Qing was rational or affectionate towards Guo Shouyi, or whether she used a more drastic method. Anyway, within a short time, they returned on horseback, and carriages were arriving one after another from behind. enough stone.
The workers who had just been drinking and eating drunkenly thought that the end of Yuyi Town was approaching, and they all started to explain their funeral arrangements to each other. Unexpectedly, a woman who awe them suddenly came and claimed that the stone had arrived.
"Everyone, I'm leaving Yuyi Town with you!" Zhao Xiaomei stood in front of everyone, her eyes filled with tears without any scruples: "All I can do are these small things, and you are the real heroes."
After these words, the younger sister was invited to rest elsewhere. Most people at the time did not recognize this young lady from the Zhao family, but her appearance did bring a glimmer of hope.
"How could Miss Zhao come to such a dangerous place in person?"
"I heard that she is an arrogant young lady who is indifferent to grains and industrious. When I see her today, she is completely different!"
"Hey! You should be careful not to let others hear it. I will punish you later!"
The work of repairing the city wall began in full swing. This was another sleepless night after falling into a tight siege.
Accompanied by Su Qing, Zhao Xiaomei held onto the battlements and climbed up to overlook the thousands of campfires in the distance. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart and lamented several times.
After a while, another sentry suddenly shouted angrily: "Who is there? Stop!"
I saw someone coming to the city gate alone, holding a flag: "Open the city gate! Open... the city gate!"
At first, because of the dim moonlight, everyone failed to recognize the texture on the flag clearly and thought it was an enemy scout. Unexpectedly, when the man came closer, they discovered that the flag on the gun was embroidered with "Yu Yi". "Two words.
