Generals take care of their children: The master mother leads the system to farm

Compared with Li County, the streets in Beining City seem much more desolate.

There are quaint earthen brick buildings everywhere on both sides of the road. Whether it is the road surface or the houses, the background color is all yellow earth. At first glance, even tall green plants are rarely seen.

In the distance, you can see the rooftops of two- or three-story buildings, but overall it is not as lively as in Li County.

There were not many people on the street, probably because it was still early. Smoke from the low roofs was rising slowly.

Li Changle noticed with his sharp eyes that a number of half-grown children with disheveled hair and dirty faces were gathered under the wall of a dilapidated house not far away, which was mostly collapsed.

Some were lying silently on the torn straw mats on the ground; some older children were holding the younger ones, staring at the passers-by with blank eyes, without a trace of light.

"Those are beggars in the city." Gu Jingyan also noticed her gaze.

There is no shortage of beggars in the streets even in peaceful years, let alone in years of disaster.

Having been her mother's aunt for several months, Li Changle's maternal love was a little overflowing and she could not stand such scenes.

She looked away, "Isn't there a charity in the city that can house these children? It would be nice to give them a roof over their heads."

Gu Jingyan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking: "The charity hall is also overcrowded."

Li Changle: "..."

The ox cart stopped in front of a two-story inn.

Lin Hai went into the store first and booked a room.

Gu Jingyan carried Li Changle off the ox cart and said, "Rest for two days. Then we can take the water route back to Li County. It will be much faster than taking the land route."

Li Changle had no objection. She was happy to save time and go back earlier.

Missing my children.

The small inn was deserted. There was no guest sitting in the lobby. Only a shopkeeper and a waiter were busy.

Li Changle wanted to go upstairs to wash up and apply some ointment on the inner thigh, so he called the waiter nearby.

"Waiter, please help me boil two buckets of hot water and bring them to the guest room. Also, prepare some simple breakfast for us, large and filling."

The waiter went to the kitchen with instructions.

Gu Jingyan carried Li Changle to the guest room on the second floor, let her rest for a while, and then he went straight downstairs and left the inn.

When Li Changle finished breakfast, he saw Gu Jingyan coming back carrying a wooden barrel and a bundle.

In the cubicle, he poured the hot water brought up by the waiter into a new wooden barrel, placed a cloth towel on the edge of the barrel, and placed the bag of clean clothes on the clothes hanger for her to change.

"After you've washed up, go to sleep first. I'll take you to the city to see a doctor later."

"I'm fine, why should I see a doctor? I can eat and sleep well. The medicine is so bitter. I don't need to drink it if I can. I'd rather eat two more bowls of rice."

Li Changle held Gu Jingyan's hand and moved towards the compartment.

Gu Jingyan reached out and touched the back of her head disapprovingly, "Does it still hurt here?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore. Eh? You noticed this too?"

He even discovered the lump hidden in the hair bun. He is really meticulous.

Gu Jingyan took her to the cubicle and said, "Be obedient and just let the doctor take a look. If there is nothing wrong, don't take the bitter medicine."

"alright."

After a while.

Li Changle glanced at the man strangely, "Why don't you go out?"

Gu Jingyan was silent for a moment, then hesitantly moved closer to her, "Can you wash it yourself? How about I do it..."

Li Changle listened, his eyes widened in disbelief, and the next moment he drove the person out.

"What are you talking about? My hand is not disabled! You idiot!"

Even though the sheets have been rolled up, the thought of exposing one's naked body in front of the other person in broad daylight makes one blush, even if the other person is one's legal spouse.

Gu Jingyan was afraid that she would fall, so he stepped out of the cubicle on his own initiative, "Then I'll wait outside, you take your time to wash."

While everyone was washing up, Gu Jingyan had breakfast in the guest room.

Li Changle changed her clothes, applied the ointment, and when she came out, Gu Jingyan pushed her down on the bed.

He covered her with a thin blanket and said, "Lin Hai will be guarding outside. You can sleep peacefully. After you get a good night's sleep, I will take you to see Beining City at night."

"What about you?" Li Changle pulled his sleeve and asked, "Don't you want to lie down and rest for a while? You've been traveling all night."

"Talk to the city guard about some business."

There is a Li Xing in Beimeng Yancheng, and Li Changle was taken away from him. Given Li Xing's nature of not wanting to suffer even the slightest loss, we have to be on guard against him chasing us to the border town and causing trouble.

He has been working in Bac Ninh for the past two months, and his men have captured several waves of Northern Mongolian spies who were secretly doing evil at the border between the two countries.

After days of running around, Li Changle was exhausted and fell asleep without realizing it.
