Heartthrobs can't be unlucky all the time

In early spring, the weather is slightly warmer, but there is still a cold wind in the early morning and evening.

After Ning Yu woke up yesterday afternoon, Zheng Xiuran was by his side all the time, Ning Yu dragged him to tell him to go find the third child, Zheng Xiuran could feel how nervous and scared he was from Ning Yu holding his hand tightly , he finally comforted Ning Yu, told him that he had sent someone out to look for it, and asked Dr. Xie to add a little sedative and sleep aid to the medicine he made for Ning Yu. After drinking the medicine, Ning Yu calmed down.

Three days passed, and there was still no news of Zheng Xiujie.

The second child saw Ning Yu anxious in the tent all day, and his face became thinner, Zheng Xiuran couldn't bear it, and proposed to take him out to relax.

Zheng Xiuran, dressed in official uniform, accompanied Ning Yu, who was wearing a thick cloak, on the field ridge outside Anping City. The fields here are very wide, and there are low hills all around. It even looks a bit like Baiyu Village.

The two figures walked very slowly, one was tall and the other was slender, they walked side by side, looking around at the surrounding scenery.

But the fields that caught my eye were barren everywhere. It seemed that no one had taken care of this place for a long time.

"Because of the war, many villagers in the vicinity have fled, leaving their fields unattended."

Ning Yu stepped on something next to his feet, and when he looked down, it turned out to be a rattle.

"They fled too hastily at the time, and a lot of things fell on the way."

Zheng Xiuran also followed Ning Yu's line of sight to see the rattle half buried in the soil, and explained.

"Second brother, how long have you been here?"

"Not long, just a month or two."

"Second brother, you...how have you been since you went to Beijing?"

There was concern in Ning Yu's eyes, he looked at Zheng Xiuran's darker cheeks than before, and felt a little inexplicably sour in his heart.

Although the two who haven't seen each other for a long time are still familiar with each other, a lot of things happened around each other when they met this time.

The last time they parted was January, but in the blink of an eye, it was now April.

"I'm fine, Ning Yu, don't worry."

"I'm more than happy to see you here again."

Then, Zheng Xiuran narrated what happened after he went to Beijing. He deliberately ignored the things that would make Ning Yu feel bad for him. Stable, passed the Wukao Wenkao smoothly, and also won the first place.

"And after that?"

"After that, I was bestowed an official by the emperor and came here."

When Zheng Xiuran was talking to Ning Yu, his expression was always calm, as if everything happened naturally, and he was also very satisfied.

Even if it is the top of the list, but it is arranged as a small euphemism, there is no complaint.

"Second brother... I saw the emperor list that was posted."

"Brother Li Yang is also on the list."

"Well, Brother Li took good care of me when we were rushing for the exam, and his ranking was pretty good."

"By the way, second brother, where is the lord of Anping City?"

"Since Anping was plundered by Pingyue Kingdom last time, the city lord was killed, and the city lord of Anping has been suspended."

"Hanging?"

Ning Yu didn't finish his sentence, he looked at Zheng Xiuran with some surprise, Zheng Xiuran also smiled and nodded.

At this time, Ning Yu came to his senses. Since Anping was looted last time, Anping is actually a ruined city, and the biggest official is Zheng Xiuran.

Thinking of the two days since he woke up, Zheng Xiuran has been busy with various affairs, and the second child with thick eyebrows and big eyes looks a lot more serious.

What Ning Yu didn't know was that, although talking and laughing, Zheng Xiuran described the things after coming to Anping very plainly, as if all things were in order now, and there was no need to worry at all.

But when he first came to take office, the entire Anping City could be said to be in chaos.

The people in the city had already fled and walked away, leaving behind some old and weak women and children, but it was these old and weak people, because there was too little food to eat in winter, many people waited to die in their houses, starving. Into a mummy.

At that time, Anping was like an abandoned city.

Zheng Xiuran was angry and helpless. He had just taken office, and he had only [-] soldiers sent by the imperial court around him. He led these soldiers to clean up the entire Anping City.

The North City Gate was smashed into tatters by the big wooden piles of Pingyue Kingdom. Zheng Xiuran, who climbed the tower, saw that the border between Dayu and Pingyue Kingdom was only ten miles away from the North City Gate, but there was a big river in the middle, so they couldn't come directly. , with a bridge over it, has burned down.

With good eyesight, he also saw that someone on the opposite side was watching Dayu's every move, so he directly ordered people to use cement and lime to seal the city gate, so that people could not enter and exit, and the people on the opposite side could not detect anything.

Until now, although Anping is much better than before, there are still only officers and soldiers in the city, without any residents.

They have been setting up tents at the gate of the city because they are short of manpower and the city has not been cleaned up. Another reason is that it is convenient to guard at the gate of the city.

"Ning Yu, how about you, how have you been these past few months?"

The two walked under a big tree, and there was a stone bench under the tree. The second child brushed the dead leaves on it, and the two sat down.

Zheng Xiuran looked at Ning Yu beside him with some concentration. Ning Yu's eyebrows and eyes were still as delicate as he remembered, but his face was a little haggard, and there was some sadness between his brows.

Ning Yu responded to Zheng Xiuran's question with a smile.Similarly, he didn't tell the second child about the sad things he encountered, only said that after returning to Ning Mansion, he stayed for a while and found that he really wanted to go out to see the bigger world, so he came out by himself.

Fortunately, the third brother was with him, and by chance, the two came here all the way.

What Ning Yu didn't say was that at first, he just wanted to find someone.

"Second brother, do you have any news about your eldest brother?"

Zheng Xiuran sighed and shook his head. He received a letter from Zheng Xiujie after the exam, and he also knew about his elder brother joining the army. He thought he would be able to find his elder brother after the exam, but he didn't expect to get such a humble official position...

Ning Yu's face also suddenly became very worried. Along the way, he was most afraid, the most fearful thing was that Zheng Xiuyuan would become like those wounded.

"Don't worry, Ning Yu, even if Big Brother goes to the battlefield, he will be safe and sound."

Even the second child is very disturbed, but now he can only comfort Ning Yu in this way.

Feeling the comfort from the second child, Ning Yu nodded with warmth in his heart.

The two of them didn't chat outside for a long time. After walking for half an hour, after Ning Yu's mood improved, he urged the second child to go back quickly to see if anyone found any news about Zheng Xiujie.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the south city gate, they found a figure in tatters with a head full of weeds sitting at the gate of the city. Ning Yu felt that figure looked familiar, and someone beside him was asking about the identity of that person.

Zheng Xiuran and Ning Yu stepped forward, the second child asked the officers and soldiers who that person was, Ning Yu followed behind him, looking at the figure curiously.

Suddenly, his eyes were full of shock, he walked in front of the beggar-shaped man, and brushed away the messy hair on his face with his hands. There was a pair of peach blossom eyes on that dirty face, and he was staring at Ning Yu ignorantly.

"Third brother, is that you?!"

As soon as Ning Yu, who was surprised, said a word, he sensitively realized that something was wrong with Zheng Xiujie in front of him.

He didn't look like he knew him at all.

Still giggling foolishly.

Hearing Ning Yu's shout, Zheng Xiuran also ended his conversation with the officers and soldiers, and hurried over. Looking at Zheng Xiujie's face, he was also very pleasantly surprised that it was indeed the third brother.

but……

The officers and soldiers guarding the city gate just now told Zheng Xiuran that this person came, and then he didn't say a word, he just smirked like a fool.

Zheng Xiuran has a rule that no one can be let into the city at will, so he let this person wait here.

At this time, the third child's clothes looked scratched by branches and stones, covered with mud, and he was in a daze, with a big blood scab on his head.

Zheng Xiuran hurriedly brought the third child to his tent and asked for Dr. Xie to come.

The three of them had no time to recover from the joy of their reunion. After Dr. Xie examined Zheng Xiujie, Ning Yu and Zheng Xiuran just stood there.

"My lord, Mr. Ning, Mr. Zheng suffered a serious head injury. Not only did he lose his memory, but his current cognition is no different from that of a three-year-old child."

"how so!"

After hearing Dr. Xie's diagnosis, Ning Yu's eyes were full of tears. He dragged Dr. Xie and asked him to treat Zheng Xiujie.

"Doctor Xie, please, your medical skills are superb, you must be able to cure him, right!"

Dr. Xie frowned, and pondered for a long time with a solemn expression, before speaking in embarrassment after a while,

"Now Mr. Zheng suffered a head injury, causing internal congestion, and the medicine stone is basically unable to heal, unless..."

"Unless the blood congestion in his brain can be pulled out through acupuncture, there may be a possibility of waking up later."

"But it's also possible, and the old man can't be sure."

"Mr. Xie, please save my third brother. I can prepare anything you need." Zheng Xiuran also begged Doctor Xie when he heard that the third brother was still alive.

"Of course I will try my best, but the silver needles needed for this acupuncture technique were lost in the process of escaping two days ago. Moreover, even if you want to give acupuncture to Mr. Zheng, you need to take medicine to recuperate your body first, and then observe for a few days. "

"Don't worry about the silver needle, Doctor Xie. I will immediately send someone to a nearby city to look for it, and then I will ask Doctor Xie."

Dr. Xie agreed and got out of the tent. The second child called a few people to help Zheng Xiujie wash up, but Ning Yu offered to help him too.

Zheng Xiujie would become like this, Ning Yu blamed himself very much.

If he hadn't distracted the officers and soldiers of the Pingyue Kingdom, wouldn't he have become like this?

Ning Yu looked at Zheng Xiujie's dazed look, and tears fell unconsciously.

The second child looked at Ning Yu's self-blame, he walked over and took Ning Yu's shoulders, and told him solemnly,

"It's not your fault that the third child has become like this. Don't embarrass yourself too much."

After listening to Zheng Xiuran's words, Ning Yu nodded with tears in his eyes, but in the end he stubbornly helped Zheng Xiujie wash his hair and face, change his clothes, and dry his hair.

Being taken care of by Ning Yu in this way, Zheng Xiujie is naturally closer to Ning Yu. Although he has become demented, he can still feel the good and bad of others towards him. After that, no matter where Ning Yu goes, he will follow closely. In the back, he looked very insecure.

Zheng Xiuran also feels distressed seeing his younger brother like this, but the silver needle has not been found yet, and Dr. Xie can't help to treat the third child.

Ning Yu also borrowed several medical books from Dr. Xie. While taking care of Zheng Xiujie, he studied on his own, trying to find a better way to take care of Zheng Xiujie.

After being stupid, the third child, except for his childish behavior, is still obedient on weekdays. He will obediently follow Ning Yu during the day, and sometimes Ning Yu asks him to help him grind medicinal materials and even do some rough work of moving things very seriously. It's just that at night he was a little dazed, and kept yelling "It's so dark, so dark" and "I'm so cold", and refused to leave Ning Yu's tent.

Dr. Xie said that it may be because the third child has been out in the wild for the past few nights, and it is because of the shadow.

Ning Yu felt distressed, so he acquiesced to let the third child sleep with him.

Zheng Xiuran's tent was right next to them, and sometimes when the third child woke up at night, he could hear Ning Yu accompanying him.

The conditions in Anping are very difficult. Even in his eunuch, there is very little meat in the food every day, but he always saves it for Ning Yu and Zheng Xiujie to eat.

In the past, it was Ning Yu and the third child who brought him food, but now it was changed, and the atmosphere of the three eating together was inexplicably warm.

In this way, half a month passed. On this day, Zheng Xiuran, who was patrolling around Anping as usual, received an official post. After reading it, he frowned tightly and pondered for a long time.
