Mr. Mi Gongji

The corner of Yang Yan's mouth smiled slightly, the kitchen knife in his hand fell faster, he cut a bunch of pieces after a while, and turned his head to ask: "Doctor Shen, how many people are there in the wounded barracks now?"

"About a hundred or so, none of them are seriously injured, but they are bleeding, and they still need to be mended. The food here is really not good. If they are not full, who wants to fight." Shen Xiao sent the firewood into the kitchen, Chatted with Yang Yan.

Yang Yan put the green vegetables into the vegetable basket on the side, pressed the vegetables into the water tank, took out the vegetables, then picked them up, and poured them into the oil pan that had already been boiled, and immediately ate it, the green leaves of the vegetables began to grow slowly. withered.He stir-fried a few times with a shovel, and when he looked up, he happened to see Shen Xiao who was sitting opposite the stove, carefully lighting the fire. The orange fire reflected on his somewhat yellowed face, just looking at the side face with no birthmark, that The outline is really similar to Gu Shenzhi's.

Yang Yan was dazed again, but the shovel under his hand didn't stop, he looked at Shen Xiao and asked, "Doctor Shen doesn't seem to be a local from his accent? How come he became a military doctor here?"

Shen Xiao didn't answer Yang Yan's question directly, but raised his head, looked at him calmly and said: "Then from brother Guan's accent, he should be from Yunzhou, why did he join Suye's army? ?”

What he said sounded like an unintentional mistake, but when Yang Yan heard it, his heart was pounding. He had been in the barracks for more than a month, and most of the soldiers here were recruited from the surrounding areas of Sujing. He was not very familiar with the place, so he only said that he was from the south, but he did not explicitly say that he was from Yunzhou. However, this seemingly unattractive military doctor Shen could tell where he was from at a glance.

Seeing that Yang Yan didn't respond, Shen Xiao thought that the teasing in his sentence just now made him feel embarrassed, so he reported his family background: "Brother Guan, please don't mind, in fact, I am also from Yunzhou." Adding some firewood to the stove, he continued: "Brother Guan still remembers that three years ago, a big earthquake occurred in Aijiang on the border between Yunzhou and Suye. At that time, a small village was buried by mudslides. I was from that village. Later I was fortunate enough to be rescued by someone, that’s why I’m here today.”

Yang Yan remembered the earthquake, because the earthquake happened to be the day after Yang Dingbian and Gu Shen were buried. Yang Yan, who was in the barracks at the time, braved the heavy rain and rushed all the way to the casualty site of the earthquake until After I resettled the refugees, I heard that the tombs of Yang Dingbian and Gu Shenzhi had landslides to varying degrees.

The death of the southwestern king of Yunzhou coincided with natural disasters, and rumors abounded. Under the internal and external troubles, Yang Yan didn't even have time to be sad. The casualties were not very large, except for a village in the mountain depression that was completely buried due to mudslides, and the others were houses collapsed, and the reconstruction work was carried out in an orderly manner. Yang Yan really did not expect that three years later, today, thousands of miles away In the Suye military camp outside, you can meet the survivors of that natural disaster.

This person is not only his fellow countryman, but also brought him a kind of hope. Yang Yan couldn't tell what kind of hope it was, but he felt a feeling of emotion in his heart, and said following his words: "Why don't you remember?" In that earthquake, my house collapsed, and later it was the young prince of Yunzhou who brought his army to repair the house." Yang Yan explained this fact with some complacency, although the collapse of the house was purely fabricated.

Shen Xiao was a little puzzled and asked: "So the little prince is considered your family's benefactor, why didn't you stay in Yunzhou, but came to Suye instead? As far as I know..." Shen Xiao didn't say the following words , because everyone knows well that the relationship between Yunzhou and Suye is clearly a vassal king and the court, but secretly some people have already said that the Southwest King is not a thing in the pool, and sooner or later it will turn against the current court. , From where to turn it, everyone can't tell.

However, what is said to be the most authoritative explanation from the Bi Au Pavilion in the capital is that the death of the Southwest King was not an accident, but it was probably some small action by the court before it cut down the vassal.

"Although the little prince is kind to my family, but Yunzhou is also a part of Suye. Now that Suye is in trouble, it is not surprising that I come from Yunzhou." The purpose is to say it, but such righteous words, it really makes me feel awkward to listen to, and I don’t know how the person in front of me feels. He raised his head a little embarrassed, and glanced at the Shen Xiao, unexpectedly he nodded in agreement, when he raised his eyes to look at him, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

Yang Yan felt a little embarrassed, so he picked up a shovel, shoveled a spoonful of lard into the earthen pot beside him, put it in the vegetables and continued to stir-fry. Immediately moved the index finger.

Shen Xiao frowned, his stomach rumbled, he woke up early this morning and had only eaten one meal of porridge, and he was already so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, but he was busy taking care of the wounded and didn't have the time to take care of himself What about the Wu Zang Temple?It's a bit embarrassing for the other party to hear such an obvious voice.Shen Xiao smiled awkwardly, and was about to explain, but heard Yang Yan say: "Doctor Shen is probably taking care of the wounded, so he hasn't eaten for a day, right? When the food is ready, I'll send it to the wounded barracks for you , you just make do with me, I’m afraid the general’s private kitchen has already finished work, and you were nothing but leftovers in the past.”

Shen Xiao's original embarrassment was swept away, he did not expect that such a fire-headed soldier would be so careful, and he was also a Yunzhou native, if the Southwest King of Yunzhou had the same consciousness as a fire-headed soldier, he would send a large army from Yunzhou to reinforce him However, I'm afraid that the army of Plastic Kingdom will not be so crazy.

Yang Yan motioned for Shen Xiao to get out of the way, took the ashes rake and cleared the sawdust aside, pulled out two black things from the stove, smiled and said to Shen Xiao: "If Doctor Shen doesn't If you don’t like it, just enjoy a handful of this roasted sweet potato with me. I originally reserved it for myself, but Dr. Shen also helped add a handful of firewood just now, so I will share it with you.”

Shen Xiao was not polite either, lifted up his gown, sat down against the camp tent, picked up one of the black roasted sweet potatoes with his fingers, it was still very hot in the palm of his hand, he opened a hole, revealing the golden yellow sweet potato inside , the fragrance hovered endlessly under his breath.Yang Yan smiled, opened the curtain, and walked towards the wounded barracks facing a pot of fried vegetables.

At this time, the sky was already pitch black, with groups of soldiers coming and going, and the sentry towers erected high in the distance, the flames illuminated the entire barracks. Yang Yan turned his head and looked at the battalion commander who was not as tall as he was. Not good-looking, but a young military doctor gnawing on roasted sweet potatoes so contentedly.

This kind of smile has appeared countless times in his dreams in the past three years, but every time he wakes up when he laughs the most happily, Yang Yan feels that the corners of his mouth are a little sour, and his footsteps become heavier. Seeing the tears at the corner of his mouth, I thought helplessly: Shen Zhi... I have never seen such a smile in your lifetime...

When he came back from the wounded barracks, one of Shen Xiao's roasted sweet potatoes had a pile of black skin left, and Yang Yan picked up the half-eaten dinner just now and began to pick it into his mouth.

"There's one more, you should eat it too." Yang Yan said, and couldn't help laughing, there were a few dark lines around Shen Xiao's lips, obviously when he ate it just now, when he wiped the corners of his mouth with his fingers Got it by accident.His appearance is already ugly with such a big birthmark, but now his face is so dirty, how ugly he really is.Such an ugly monster, he actually has Gu Shenzhi's heavenly voice.

Yang Ye turned his head and told himself that it was definitely not because his voice resembled Gu Shenzhi that he would give him his food, but apart from this reason, Yang Ye seemed to be unable to find any other reason.

"No need, I'll be full after eating one. You can keep this for yourself." Shen Xiao got up and patted the dust off his body, but he ignored his own face. Yang Yan couldn't see it, he went out like this, It's no wonder you don't get laughed at.

"You might as well wash your face first, it's so dark, it's ugly." Yang Yan pointed at his face and whispered.

Shen Xiao didn't seem to understand Yang Yan's words, he was startled for a moment before he said: "It can't be washed off, it's a birthmark."

"I'm not talking about birthmarks, of course birthmarks can't be washed off..." Yang Yan began to regret that he was too kind to him. This guy is a fool, so he patiently explained: "There are many black things at the corners of your mouth , stained, it's ugly." He said while pointing to his mouth.

Only then did Shen Xiao come to his senses, he picked up his sleeves and wiped it vigorously a few times, his pale lips were flushed red, Yang Yan blinked, he suddenly found that Shen Xiao's lips were very similar to Gu Shenzhi's, the only one The difference is: Gu Shenzhi's lips are always pale, and every word that overflows from the corners of his pale lips makes Yang Yan feel an unforgettable pain, but Yang Yan misses this pain very much.

But the Shen Xiao in front of him has a completely different face but the same lip shape, rosy lips, and a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth because he gnawed a roasted sweet potato, something that Gu Shenzhi doesn't have at all.

Yang Yan finally let himself go, thinking calmly: Gu Shenzhi is really dead, Shen Xiao in front of him is just a person with the same voice as him.He watched Shen Xiao walk out of Huotou Army's tent, sorting out his messy mood, this was just a small episode, it was nothing at all.Yang Ye squatted down, held the half jade tablet engraved with dragon patterns on his chest, and silently thought: Shenzhi, I will fulfill your long-cherished wish, I will send your son to the pinnacle of Suye power, and I will not let you Sacrifice has become a page of history that Suye will never turn over.
