Let me love you through time

In the early morning, the first rays of sunlight came in through the dilapidated windows.Gu Yanqing woke up from a ridiculously hard bed.The noise outside has been coming in through the door, and it is difficult for him to fall asleep.

Habitually hugging her to her side, her fingertips felt cold to the touch.

Unsurprisingly, he missed again, Gu Yanqing felt uncomfortable, and silently withdrew his hand.

Lying flat on the bed, before opening his eyes, he could already smell the disgusting, rotten smell in the air.

Gu Yanqing closed his eyes tightly and frowned.Stretching out a finger from the shabby but clean quilt, he pinched the bridge of his nose.After a while, I unhurriedly opened my eyes and looked out of the brightly lit window, and sighed softly.

When will such days end?

Last night Bai Yu took her to see those orphans.The oldest is only ten years old, and the youngest is less than three years old.I haven't dealt with it well, and now some new things have appeared.

Seeing myself going in, one by one looked at me in panic, and some of the younger ones cried out directly.With such a helpless and innocent expression, Gu Yanqing felt that he might never forget it for the rest of his life.

Later, I found out that in Qingzhou, there are still many children whose parents died due to floods, plague, and famine.If you don't care about them, what they will face next is not only begging for a living, or being forced to be a slave, but maybe death!

Later, it was getting late, and it was dark and Lu Yuan couldn't go back, so he had no choice but to spend the night in this room.Fortunately, there is no one nearby, and I can sleep with extra quilts.

Silently got up from the bed, sat in front of the bed to wake up.Gu Yanqing looked sideways at the sword beside the pillow, as well as his belt and token.

Slowly reached out and took the belt in his hand and stared at it for a while.All of a sudden, I recalled the scene where the princess tied her belt at night.

Missing came to me like a tide, and my heart was even more bitter.

I don't know if the princess is safe at home?

In the dead of night, do you still think about each other like yourself?

Either way, things here are going to work out sooner or later.

After a while, he gently put down the belt in his hand, and took the clothes that he had prepared for himself from the side.Looking at the blue-gray clothes, Gu Yanqing couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile.

No matter how I refused last night.The person called "Aunt Chen" still forced himself to change out of the clothes, and said that he was so old that he would not be afraid of embarrassment if he wore them.

Looking at the dirt all over his body, Gu Yanqing couldn't hold back, so he could only take off his clothes.Fortunately, besides the coat and the underwear, they didn't discover the secrets of their bodies.

After getting dressed, Gu Yanqing checked his clothes as usual, and opened the door to go out when he didn't feel anything unusual.

Thanks to the fact that his chest was flat and he didn't even need a corset, Gu Yanqing looked down at his "airport" and was speechless for a while, not knowing if this was a good thing.

Pushing the door open, Gu Yanqing accidentally dazzled his eyes from the incoming light, and quickly covered his eyes with his sleeves before slowly getting used to it.

In the originally deserted yard last night, the children were running around and playing in the yard at this moment.Gu Yanqing took a closer look, and there were a few older children who had disappeared from the ones he saw last night.

Looking around, Gu Yanqing also saw his clothes in the corner, which were being unfolded to dry on the bamboo pole.

Looking at the children playing in the yard, Gu Yanqing sighed involuntarily, he did not expect to experience so many things.These children can still maintain their innocent and cute side.In fact, people's life is also very simple. I feel sorry for myself all day these days, but I am not as good as those children who have not grown up.

Bai Yu, who was cooking with Aunt Chen, heard the movement and turned her head. Seeing that Gu Yan was awake, she was stunned for a moment when she saw her in the blue cloth.There was an unknown look in his eyes for a moment.

In the next second, she saw her standing in front of the door in a daze, unable to restrain the corners of her lips, she put down the food in her hand and walked over.

"I didn't expect this dress to be worn by General Gu. It fits so well." Bai Yu walked up to her in a few steps, looked her up and down in front of her, and finally nodded in praise.

Gu Yanqing followed her gaze, and looked down suspiciously.

It's just ordinary people's clothes.Plain light gray.But although he is tall, his frame is small.The dress barely held up.It's okay anyway, it's as exaggerated as she said.

"When shall we go back?" Seeing that it was getting late, Gu Yanqing asked anxiously thinking about the affairs in the barracks.

After all, I still have one big thing to deal with today.

"Aunt Chen said she would leave after breakfast." Seeing her anxious, Bai Yu pointed to the porridge that was already boiled in the pot, as well as an unknown wild vegetable and flour pancakes on the table.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yanqing remembered.The second day of gruel giving.There are too many refugees and not enough manpower, so I asked my subordinates to send rice back to cook by themselves, and distribute it equally to the number of people in a family.In this way, his soldiers can be used for other things.

"Okay!" Seeing that the food was ready, Gu Yanqing could only answer casually.

I dug a hole all night yesterday.Hungry and tired now.If you don't eat, you may lose the strength to ride a horse.

Seeing them cooking, I have nothing to do, watching the children bouncing around in the yard.

Gu Yanqing was just about to go over to play with them, when a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the room.

Seeing the adults and children all over the yard staring at him, Gu Yanqing coughed twice and consciously entered the house to act as a nanny.

Fortunately, I often did this when I was a doctor intern.Not to mention that it is more than enough to hold at least a child.

This was the first time I saw her, she was as small and thin as a little monkey.At first glance, he often looks malnourished without milk.

Gu Yanqing could hardly feel any weight in his arms.However, she was born in this special period, and it is already a miracle that she survived.Fortunately, the eyes are big and look watery, which is still cute.Seeing that Gu Yanqing was holding her, he didn't cry or fuss anymore, so he kept looking at her with his eyes open.

Seeing that she was whining with her mouth open all the time, Gu Yanqing got wicked and put his finger near her mouth to tease her.Seeing her pink and tender mouth keep rubbing against his hand, at that moment Gu Yanqing's heart seemed to be touched by something and softened.

Suddenly an idea took root in her heart, if there is a child by her side and the princess, it would be nice to tease her when she is free...

***

After a stick of incense...

At the dinner table, the white porridge in the bowl was very light, and the rice grains inside were clearly countable.Gu Yanqing frowned tightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

I thought at the beginning that there are usually four or five people in a normal family.The quantity is also given.After all, the current situation is special, so we must save some money.Where did I expect to encounter such a situation today.

He raised his head and was talking to Aunt Chen that he would send someone to bring some rice noodles in a while.Unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw all the big and small eyes on the dining table looking at him.

The atmosphere on the table suddenly became awkward.

Gu Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then understood the meaning in their eyes and said with a smile: "What are you doing looking at me? Eat them all!"

Aunt Chen who was sitting opposite Gu Yanqing saw that she hadn't moved her chopsticks, she lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, and it took a long time before she opened her mouth in embarrassment.

"The little general offended me yesterday, please don't take it for granted. In the current situation, I can only trouble you to have some porridge and wild vegetables. I..." The tone of my speech was completely different from yesterday.

Seeing that she was still planning to continue talking, Gu Yanqing hurriedly interrupted her.

"It's okay, you don't have enough to eat, it's my fault, you didn't hold grudges and washed my clothes, I really couldn't see the clothes I wore yesterday, you took them off and cleaned them overnight, you should I'm the one who said thank you""

After a pause, he said again: "Everyone, hurry up and eat! Didn't you say that you have to go to the city for something later? Let's go together after eating." The tone was relaxed, without the slightest affectation.

After finishing speaking, Gu Yanqing reached out and took a wild vegetable pancake from the plate next to him, and took a bite first.

Although the pancakes were a bit hard, but fortunately they tasted good.It's not hard to swallow, and you can vaguely smell the unique fragrance of this wild vegetable.

"Eat them all, what are you watching me do? If you don't eat any more, I'll finish the pancakes again." Seeing that they hadn't moved their chopsticks, Gu Yanqing looked at the younger ones on the table with a harmless smile. child said.

Seeing this, the children grinned and scrambled to grab the pancakes next to them and began to drink the porridge.

It's great that this good-looking big brother didn't dislike them like everyone else...

A group of people were eating, when the yard door was suddenly pushed open, which shocked everyone who was eating in the yard.

Seeing that everyone was there, four or five boys ran in laughingly, and showed off loudly to them with the mice in their hands: "Auntie, we caught more than a dozen mice today, plus a few days ago. There are almost a hundred of them, and when we get money, we won’t be hungry.”

Those mice ate the food mixed with medicine that Gu Yanqing had specially prepared, and within three hours their limbs became paralyzed and unable to move, so they could only be slaughtered.Otherwise, how dare they children catch these agile mice.

Hearing the sound, Gu Yanqing put down the bowl in his hand with a dazed expression, looked up at the boy named Xiaopangdun who was the leader, and saw that he was holding the tails of four or five mice in each hand.In an instant, the hairs on his back stood up one by one, and cold sweat broke out on his back.

However, as a general who has been on the battlefield, Gu Yanqing maintained a smile on his face as if no one had noticed when he saw that no one was paying attention to him.

"I didn't expect your medicines to be really effective. The mice in the town have been caught these days. Can General Gu tell you the prescription?" Bai Yu glanced at the mice in their hands, and calmly drank from the bowl. porridge, looked up at Gu Yanqing and casually chatted.

They chose to turn a blind eye to the mouse in their hands.After all, when I was studying medicine, I didn't know how many such mice I killed.

Seeing them coming back, Aunt Chen, who was sitting in the main seat, got up apologetically.With a doting look on his face, he told them to go to the kitchen to wash their hands and prepare for dinner.

When Gu Yanqing saw Bai Yu talking about this issue with himself, he smiled awkwardly, nodded his head and continued to drink the porridge silently.

Her legs are a little weak now, and she is really not in the mood to answer this question.God knows how tormented I am when I sleep in this place where rats can be seen everywhere.

Although I had dissected mice when I was studying medicine, they were all fat and white mice that were artificially bred. How could they look like these mice with fierce eyes and teeth and claws, making people dare not approach them.

After a while, after breakfast, Gu Yanqing hurried back from the town to the county with a few older children.

Since they were all children and there were no horses nearby, Gu Yanqing could only find a grain truck and asked Xiao Bai to carry them to the county.

Arriving at the gate of the county government office, Gu Yanqing looked at the noisy crowd in the long line at the gate.There are also large and small cloth bags in their hands and some iron cages full of rats, and the worries in their hearts are reduced by half.

Judging from the current situation, the plague and food problems have been solved. Now that the villagers have money in their hands, they have more hope for the future.

In a few days, when the food and seeds in the hands of the little prince arrive, their hard life will be truly over.

Gu Yanqing looked around, but he didn't see Dong Qingchen and the others all the way here, remembering that he hadn't seen them for several days.

These days everyone is busy with their own affairs.I don't know how to handle the things entrusted to him.And Li Shangru himself never saw him again after that day.

The person in charge of registration at the county government gate saw Gu Yanqing watching them not far away.Turning around, he reported to the busy lieutenant behind.After a while, a lieutenant turned around and gave some instructions, then walked towards her.

Gu Yanqing knew this person, he was an old man in the army, over forty years old.I have been in the army for more than ten years, and now I have reached the position of lieutenant general.With a simple background, he is honest and honest, and he is a down-to-earth person.

Seeing him coming in front of her, Gu Yanqing smiled and said, "How many mice did Vice General Wang take in today?"

"Cavalry General, there are only seventeen thousand left."

After listening to him, Gu Yanqing silently calculated the number of rats received from other places in the past few days, and then continued to ask. "Have you taken all the rats? And have the things I ordered to be put in the pit yesterday been put away?"

"The general has already been prepared. After the registration here, I will ask someone to transport these mice to the mountain and throw them into the pit. There will be absolutely no mistakes."

Hearing what he said, Gu Yanqing felt more at ease, and even relaxed his eyebrows that had been frowning for a few days. : "That's fine, go get busy."

"It's the general." After saying that, the deputy general turned around and went back to work.

Seeing that they were busy in an orderly manner, Gu Yanqing felt that he couldn't intervene, so he and the other children took their mice to register for money, a total of 130 mice.The children were very happy to hear the news.They all danced and said to go back and ask Aunt Chen to cook something delicious.

Gu Yanqing had something to do, so he asked two of his subordinates to escort them home with food and their money.Only Bai Yu followed him without saying a word.

Gu Yanqing didn't say anything when he saw this, but he was going to deal with those rats later, and then found a reason to send her away as well.

After a few hours, there were fewer and fewer people at the gate of the county government office.There were only a few spectators in twos and threes.When Gu Yanqing saw that it was about the same time, he rode a horse and followed the last team up the mountain.

The previously empty pit on the hillside had already been filled with rats of all sizes.Densely black.

Some of those who took less medicine had slowly come to their senses, crawling around in the pit, seeing this scene in front of them, Gu Yunqing's whole body suddenly became ill.Such a scene is too shocking.

Tens of thousands of mice were all screaming "cheep, cheep" in a pit, and the sound made one's scalp tingle.

Gu Yanqing felt that he was about to have trypophobia just looking at it again.Before his legs softened, Gu Yanqing quickly retreated knowingly.

It was only after retreating a few hundred meters away from the pit that Gu Yanqing stood firm, supported the big tree next to him, took a few deep breaths, and gave orders to the soldiers next to him.

"Pour tung oil"

The soldiers who had already been prepared by the pit heard the order and poured down the tung oil from the barrels one by one.The tung oil slowly flowed down the edge of the pit.

bundle of torches down

After a while, the night sky began to burst into flames, and a smell of burnt meat floated out of the air, accompanied by billowing smoke.

Gu Yanqing stood a few hundred meters away, covering his mouth and nose with his cuff.I have been watching the fire burn for two hours.

By the time the fire burns out, it is already nightfall.

"Bury this big pit, and you will tell the person in charge of this hillside later. No one is allowed to grow food on it within a year, let alone get close to it, you know?" Gu Yanqing looked at the pit where the flames were gradually fading. He spoke to the lieutenant next to him with a serious expression.

As for why all these rats were burned to death.In fact, there is a certain reason for doing so.The average mouse will carry more than 100 kinds of viruses.There are also countless types of bacteria.If it is allowed to be discarded everywhere, and various animals and humans are infected, then the next thing will be even more out of control.

"Yes, General"

After dealing with these rats and those disaster relief funds, other things will be handled by special personnel.Gu Yanqing had almost done the things in his hands, and was finally able to relax a bit.In the next few days, he and Bai Yu ran around to find those orphans who had no father or mother.

The area involved in this matter is too large.I can only run around every day and night.Some children ran away as soon as they saw them, and those who hid in places brought great difficulty to them in finding someone.

Except for a dozen people in the hands, everyone else was temporarily assigned to other places.Every time he came back at night, Gu Yanqing was exhausted, and fell asleep with the pillow on his head when he returned to the barracks.

Even the princess who was thinking about it day and night didn't have time to think about it.

That night, Gu Yanqing and Bai Yu came back from the nearby town with five newly found orphans in a carriage behind them. As soon as they entered the barracks, Gu Yanqing felt that his subordinates were looking at him in the wrong way.

Gu Yanqing suppressed the doubts in his heart, got off the horse, turned around and hugged Bai Yu off the horse.As soon as he stretched out his hand, a familiar sweet voice came from behind.Undoubtedly, a thunderbolt exploded on the ground, making Gu Yanqing's heart beat a few beats slower.

"It's getting dark, did the general in law of the palace finally know he's back?"
