Dressed as an actor in the Qing Dynasty

After a few days of idleness, Su Qingchi and the soldiers in the battalion were dragged away to do coolies. After lunch, Su Qingchi took a shovel and went to the back of the camp with the rest of the people to clear the ditch that was almost overflowing with feces. Landfill, and set up another land boundary far away from the water source, and dig a few more.

This is not an idle job, at least in such a season when the sun is hot and the cicadas are singing and noisy, it is simply suffering.

A brother was squatting in the shabby hut, and when he heard the cries outside to fill the hole, he hurried out with his trousers in his hands, before he could fasten his belt, looking embarrassed, "Hey, brothers, take it easy. "

Everyone laughed, and after laughing, they spat into their palms one after another, raised their shovels, and began to dig and fill the pit. If such an errand was completed earlier, it would save them less suffering. Everyone thought so, and Su Qingchi was no exception.

Entering Zhilan's room, you won't smell its fragrance for a long time.

This situation is also applicable now. At first, the tip of the nose was sour and coughing, but now I can face it calmly.

The sun above his head was scorching hot and the light was dazzling. Su Qingchi buried a ditch, and the clothes on his body were already sticking to his back with sweat, and it was extremely sticky.

As soon as Guo Jia approached the back of the camp, he saw the man holding a shovel in one hand and rubbing his waist and shoulders with the other free hand.

The scorching sun made the smell behind the camp more intense and unpleasant. Guo Jia couldn't help but frown when he stood in the distance. How could a person as fastidious as the other party bear it? Thinking about it, he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"Qing... Su Yang." Guo Jia walked over quickly, the strong breath lingering from the tip of his nose made his forehead bulge.

Hearing the sound, Su Qingchi turned around, saw Guo Jia, smiled on his face, raised his sleeves and wiped his sweat, his complexion was blushed lightly due to the heat, "Why are you here, you are covered in such a dirty place carefully Smelly."

"I should say this, give it to me." Guo Jia rolled up his sleeves and wanted to snatch the shovel from Su Qingchi's hand, "Go and rest."

Su Qingchi reached out his hand to stop him, "You are a dignified boss, this is the place for you to be seen by others..."

"Let them watch as much as they like." Guo Jia said with a smile.

Su Qingchi certainly knows his temper, and there are so many people here, it's not good to entangle, seeing a few shovels beside him, he said, "If that's the case, why don't you join in and let the brothers How about a business meeting earlier?" This sentence was said to everyone around.

"right--!"

"that is!"

"it is good--!"

Everyone waved their shovels, their blood was running high, and then they burst out laughing.

Su Qingchi also followed suit with a smile, with bright eyes and bright teeth, and the blush on her fair cheeks did not fade away. This smile immediately made people's hearts sway.

"You." Guo Jia raised his hand and scratched Su Qingchi's nose where no one was paying attention, his tone full of pampering.

Su Qingchi was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, Guo Jia had already taken the shovel, and a group of shirtless men were braving the scorching sun, struggling to finish the job, looking around, it looked like a group of peasants, facing the loess Back to the sky, sweating profusely.

After scorching under the scorching sun for an hour, they finally handed over their errands. Those military men either wore their braids on their heads, or wrapped their jackets around their waists, or wore their clothes loose and exposed their breasts, each carrying a shovel. Back to the tent.

Su Qingchi was indeed exposed to the sun, his forehead and neck were covered with fine sweat, and his sleeves were rolled up to reveal his slender arms. After a touch, he was also wet. The sun in the sky was hot, but his skin was as cool as jade. The sweat on the arms was cool.

On the way back to the camp, the two walked side by side, separated by half an arm's distance.

Guo Jia's cheeks were flushed from the sun, "The smell of sweat on my body has smoked you carefully."

Su Qingchi turned his head and smiled, "Are we on the same page now?"

Hearing this, Guo Jia glanced around, and the soldiers passing by them all wrinkled their noses and dodged far away, and couldn't help laughing, "It's quiet like this, haha..."

Su Qingchi smiled but said nothing, took a sweat towel from his waist and wiped his neck, seeing Guo Jia looking at him, he thought for a while, felt that Guo Jia had helped him to some extent, so he took the unused towel Passed his head over, "Will you wipe it too?"

The smile on Guo Jia's face was even bigger, he took it, but he was reluctant to wipe it in his hand.

Su Qingchi turned to look at him and asked silently.

"Hehe, I'm afraid I'll get this towel dirty."

"The left and right are just a piece of towel. What's so rare? If it gets dirty, it will get dirty. What's the matter?"

The man had already said that, if he didn't wipe it again, he would become suspicious, Guo Jia grinned, and immediately held up the towel and carefully touched his face a few times.

Su Qingchi smiled and said nothing, but Guo Jia took advantage of his turning head, put a scarf on the tip of his nose, closed his eyes and sniffed a few times.

There was a faint fragrance on the towel, if it wasn't the original smell of the towel, it would only be the smell of that person.

Before Guo Jia could stop his charming thoughts, someone interrupted the solitude of the two of them on the other end. Hearing the reputation and looking around, the one waving at Su Qingchi was the young soldier named Ge Bing.

Su Qingchi smiled apologetically at Guo Jia, said "I'll go and have a look", then left him and left.

Guo Jia sighed unceasingly, and the phrase "I'll go with you" was in his mouth, and he swallowed it again. After he finished sighing, he remembered the scarf in his hand that the person had forgotten in his place, and the depression in his heart was swept away. Kong, couldn't help but held the dark green embroidered sweat towel to the tip of his nose, sniffed it again intoxicated, and put it in his arms.

When Su Qingchi approached Ge Bing, he was pulled by his arm. Before Su Qingchi could open his mouth, Ge Bing had already taken out a few neatly folded clothes, "I've already brought out the change of clothes for you." Come out, hehe, Cheng... I found a good place, the water is clear and cool, and I feel comfortable."

Su Qingchi didn't know that Ge Bing had such a meticulous mind. Hearing that he had found such a clean place at this time, he was also happy in his heart. Thinking of the sticky sweat and indecent smell on his body, he wished to dive in immediately. Plunge into the water and give it a refreshing rinse.

Following Ge Bing, he sneaked out of the camp, went around to the back of the mountain, made nine twists and eighteen turns through a small forest, and finally saw a bright light, and there was indeed a cave behind the forest.

Ge Bing scratched his head and smiled complacently, "How is it? Didn't you make Big Brother Zhao happy?"

"What a secluded and elegant place." Su Qingchi looked at the secluded valley in front of him, the flying waterfall, and the clear pool, and sincerely admired it.

"That's natural." Brother Cheng En finally found the place, can it be good?

Ge Bing put the clean clothes on the stone by the pool, pointed to the side, "Brother Zhao, you wash, I'll go to the side to give you a wind, it's okay to go to the camp first, you can soak for a while."

Su Qingchi nodded, seeing that Ge Bing had gone aside, stood by the pool for a while, then loosened his braids and unbuttoned his clothes.

The heavy and complicated clothes fell to the ground, revealing two round shoulders, followed by a smooth and delicate back, a narrow and straight waist and hips, under the hem of the clothes, a pair of slender and well-proportioned, with white as fat muscles.

The narrow clear pool is half light and shadow, half charming.

Ge Bing was doing his duty to watch the wind, and the sound of clear water came from his ears. He couldn't help but glanced back. When he saw the slender figure in the middle of the small pool and the blue pool, and the ambiguous scene under the water surrounded by light and shadow ripples, he couldn't help but look back. Hot blood spurted out, the tip of the nose became hot, and immediately raised his head, allowing the sinful liquid from the tip of the nose to flow back.

"Wow..." Someone stretched out his hand and slapped him on the back of the head. Ge Bing turned his head angrily and jumped, "Stinky Panzi!" Pan An raised his eyebrows and smiled provocatively, "What are you doing sneaking around here? ?Um?"

Ge Bing became alert immediately, and looked Pan An up and down with his two big eyeballs, "Are you following me?"

Pan An didn't deny it, shrugged his shoulders, and before he could speak, Ge Bing grabbed his sleeve and dragged him away. Pan An leaned back and let him drag him, and said with a smile, "Hey, hey, in broad daylight, you just do this Rape and robbery?"

"Fuck you."

Where did Pan An think Ge Bing was going to take him, but Ge Bing dragged him to a second place casually, and when he came up, he gave him a pair of panda eyes, which made him unable to stand up for a long time due to the pain.

"Huh, I told you to follow me, it's cheap for you." Ge Bing put his hands on his hips.

"You...you little brat."

Ge Bing kicked him again before leaving, "You stinky wolf cub, get out of here soon."

"If you tell me to get out, I'll get out?" Pan An blinked his bruised and purple eyes that were so sore that they were dripping water, with a grim expression on his face.

Ge Bing curled his lips and rubbed his stomach, "I'm hungry, steal me two meat buns."

Pan An looked at him, got up and patted his clothes, and smiled smartly, "How about it, do you know the benefits of brother? Brat, wait." After finishing speaking, he swayed away.

Ge Bing twisted his nose at his back and made a grimace, turned his head and jumped back to the pool to continue guarding.

Su Qingchi took a comfortable bath in the pool. He was only wearing a pure white underwear, his feet still dipped into the pool water, and his body exuded the dampness just out of the bath.Leaning on the stone by the pool, her hair cascaded down on the smooth boulder behind her like a waterfall. At first glance, the white jade-like stone looked like ink was splashed on it.

On a warm day in Yuyang, with a cool breeze blowing on his face, when his hair was completely dry, Su Qingchi braided his hair and tied it with braids.

What he had just considered in the pool had come to fruition, so he dressed neatly and went back to the camp with Ge Bing.

In a few days, the list of soldiers who were sent to defend the Liangtai in Danba, Gebushzan and other places came down. After all the training in the morning was over, the list was announced in public.

As soon as the practice was over, everyone went to the camp to eat. The camp was as lively as before, and they lined up to serve the meal one by one.The Hutou army in the barracks is not fixed, and three of them go to the army kitchen for rotation every day, one for each horse guard.

"I'll find you later." The other party said expressionlessly.

Su Qingchi glanced at him and took the meal.

Having lunch at noon, the few people sitting around were surprisingly quiet. Ge Bing buried his head in the rice, staring at him with all his eyes, and Guo Jia remained silent. He stretched out his chopsticks to see that there was a piece of food in his bowl. At the corner of his mouth, they made him lose his mind to eat, and moved his chopsticks twice in the rice, and suddenly found that there were two more bird eggs in the rice, deeply buried in the bottom of the bowl.

Inexplicably, Su Qingchi raised his head and glanced at a certain person, that person still couldn't find the slightest expression on his face, even if he was serving food for someone, he still had a serious face, as if the other party owed him tens of thousands of taels silver.

Aware of his gaze, the man turned his head and looked straight through the crowd.

The four eyes met, as if there were only two of them in the camp.

Su Qingchi was silent for a while, and reached out to exchange Ge Bing's job with his own. Ge Bing had rice wrapped in his mouth, blinking his eyes, confused.

Su Qingchi's rice bowl was always clean, except for the white grains of rice, and there was never any soup or vegetable stains. Ge Bing, who always liked cat bibimbap, was afraid to put down his chopsticks for a while, and struggled for a long time before he buried himself in the rice. Suddenly, "Huh?" Su Qingchi glanced over, and he shut up knowingly.

Hey, good news.Ge Bing grinned secretly.

"I'll look for you in your tent after dinner," Guo Jia said.

Su Qingchi remained silent, neither saying good nor bad, Guo Jia looked at his face, said nothing else, and ate the meal in silence.

After the meal, Guo Jia really came to look for Su Qingchi, and the rest of the camp made room for the two of them knowingly. Su Qingchi lowered his head and packed his luggage quietly. Behind him, Guo Jia was silent for a long time, and said, "I didn't think about it. There will be you."

"I'm also a Green Battalion soldier." Su Qingchi said lightly, blocking Guo Jia's subsequent words.

"You're right." Guo Jia twitched the corners of his mouth and nodded, "The chief soldier showed me the draft list earlier, and you weren't in it."

Su Qingchi didn't speak.

Guo Jia took a step forward, stretched out his hand to grab his shoulder, and finally stopped in the air and let it go, "You should think about this matter again, it will take a long time, and there will be opportunities to make contributions in the future. No one in our battalion You can escape the battlefield, but for you, it is still too early."

"You mean that I should hide behind you and let you go to battle to kill the enemy. I hide here and practice flower spears every day, and then wait for you to come back?" Su Qingchi spoke quietly, but Guo Jia knew he was angry.

"I did not mean that."

Su Qingchi looked at him, "I have my own measure in this matter."

Guo Jia sighed, "Qingchi, although it is guarding the Liangtai, it will be attacked by the soldiers at any time. You don't know if you haven't been on the battlefield..."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Seeing what Guo Jia wanted to say, Su Qingchi sighed, "Guo Jia, it's useless to talk too much, it's brother and I have a good drink tonight, since the last farewell in Yangzhou, Haven't we had a drink together for a few years? We must not get drunk today."

Guo Jia looked into those eyes and shook his head for a long time, "...almost five years."

Su Qingchi was also in a daze for a moment, "Five years have passed in a flash."

"Yes." Guo Jia looked out of the curtain, recalled the past years, and couldn't help but bend his lips, "When I first met you, you were still a handsome young man with beautiful features, and there is no more handsome child than you in Yangzhou City. At that time, whenever you sang Chuntai, the audience would be full of seats, and the other actors were nervous and timid. You were the youngest next year, but you stood on the stage generously, like a few petals of color on the light ink and rice paper in vain. The red plum blossoms are so dazzlingly red that they can catch everyone's attention."

Su Qingchi smiled lightly, and when he looked up, he saw Guo Jia staring at him obsessively. It had been many years, and Guo Jia's thoughts on him, he had already seen through when the two of them first met in Yangzhou. I don't know, so I can't help deceiving myself and others. However, he only regarded him as a close friend from the beginning to the end. He always kept a distance between his words and deeds. He was moved and thought.

"Qingchi..." Guo Jia held his hand.

Su Qingchi smiled and shook hands with him. Before Guo Jia could be happy, he heard him say, "When the battle is won, send my regards to Mrs. Sister-in-law later."

Guo Jia paused, "I'm... not married yet."

Su Qingchi couldn't tell whether it was expected or unexpected, so he could only joke, "Based on the elder brother's appearance, no one came to the door to talk about matchmaking? Could it be that the eldest brother is too picky?"

Without waiting for Guo Jia to argue, Su Qingchi patted him on the shoulder, "Just kidding, brother also went back to camp earlier to prepare, and tonight I'm going to have three drinks."

Guo Jia opened his mouth, feeling bitterness in his mouth, forced a smile.

The sun outside had already set on the top of the mountain. After everything was settled, Su Qingchi lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent. A person led a horse in front of the tent. He had stood there for an unknown amount of time, and his tanned skin was slightly reddened.

Su Qingchi nodded at him as a greeting, and was about to walk around when the man said back, "I'm waiting for you."
