Chapter 150: Applying Medicine to Each Other
The patrol mission was indeed just as the veteran who led the way said, there was nothing new or exciting about it, it was just patrolling back and forth along a fixed route.
Not many people came here late at night, and it was so quiet that you could only hear the crackling sound of burning torches.
Fortunately, the time was not long, just an hour, so I didn’t feel sleepy.
But the night wind whistled on my body and it was really chilly.
After waiting for an hour, the group finally formed a team and returned to the camp.
Unlike the anticipation and excitement when we came here, now everyone just wants to go back quickly, wash up, get into bed and sleep.
After a few days, everyone in the team had gone to the North Gate to participate in patrol missions.
Everyone looked at each other with the same feeling.
So this is patrol, it's not as interesting as training...
The training content has now been expanded to include practicing certain moves, and wrestling sparring has begun once a week.
The winner can be exempted from half a day of training and rest in the camp. As long as he does not leave the camp and does not enter the restricted area, he can do whatever he wants.
The loser needs to double the training volume.
It can also be regarded as a way for them to quickly improve their strength.
In addition to these, weapons training has also added spears, blades, daggers and other types. These are all basic training. If you are interested in a certain aspect, you can apply to the instructor for further study.
It is not their turn to learn riding yet.
Because there are not many war horses in the army now, they are all prepared for experienced cavalry.
Those war horses are extremely precious strategic materials and are more valuable than these ordinary recruits.
In the short term, it would not be their turn to have close contact, so they just temporarily learned some precautions about riding.
The night patrol mission is also carried out in an orderly manner, and no accidents have occurred so far.
Everyone has gone from being nervous in the beginning to being used to it now. They just clock in on time every few days, stay for an hour, and then come back to sleep. It’s not bad after getting used to it.
Zhao Menli did not often come into contact with them. He only arranged their tasks in detail on the first day, and rarely showed up afterwards. He only asked Ye Qiongying to report whether all the people were present at the appointed time every day.
Time flies, and another month has passed.
This time, Yao Dachuan and the others did not follow Ye Qiongying to her home.
It's okay to go there occasionally, but it's a bit ungentle to go to someone's house to ask for help every time you have a day off.
So, they found an excuse, declined Ye Qiongying's invitation, and went to Pingwu City for sightseeing.
Ye Qiongying did not force anyone to go home, but returned to the courtyard by herself.
This time, when she opened the gate and walked in, she saw An Yu sitting under the eaves looking at the sky.
Every time before, he seemed to be able to notice Ye Qiongying coming back immediately, and he would run to the gate of the courtyard, open the door and welcome her in without waiting for her to open it.
This was the first time that Ye Qiongying had come in and he hadn’t reacted yet.
"An Yu?" Ye Qiongying walked closer and found that he was still in a daze, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, and whispered, "What's wrong? Where is Uncle Ye? Is he home?"
"Sister?" An Yu came back to her senses and quickly stood up.
But Ye Qiongying had just stood in front of him and bent down to see his condition.
He stood up suddenly and his head bumped into Ye Qiongying's. They both cried out in pain, one covering his forehead and the other covering his chin.
An Yu was in a panic. As soon as he stood up, he reached out to touch Ye Qiongying's chin:
"Sister, are you okay? I...it's all my fault. I shouldn't have stood up so suddenly. Are you hurt anywhere? Let me take a look!"
Ye Qiongying waved her hands, dodging An Yu's fingers that were stretched toward her face, rubbed her chin and said:
"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. I was just bumped into, it's nothing serious. Your forehead is red, too. Does it hurt?"
An Yu touched his forehead, shook his head and said:
"No...it doesn't hurt, ah! Okay, just...just a little bit!"
After hearing him say it didn't hurt, Ye Qiongying, who had deliberately reached out to press it, withdrew her hand:
"That's right. If it hurts, it hurts. Why endure it? Let's go in and get some medicine and rub it. It will be healed soon."
The two of them arrived at the front hall.
Ye Qiongying found the medicine box, took out a small bottle of medicinal wine, called An Yu over, poured some into her palm, then placed it on his forehead and rubbed it gently.
An Yu blinked and looked at Ye Qiongying, feeling the cool touch spreading from the painful spot on his forehead, and the pain soon went away.
After Ye Qiongying helped him apply the medicine, An Yu took the medicine bottle and said to Ye Qiongying:
"Sister, let me apply the medicine for you! It's inconvenient for you to do it by yourself, and you can't see the place. Didn't I ask you to help me apply the medicine just now?"
Hearing what he said, Ye Qiongying couldn't refuse, so she handed him the medicine bottle:
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, Anyu."
An Yu poured the medicine into the palm of his hand, gently placed it on the red area of Ye Qiongying's chin, and then began to rub it.
The place where his palm touched her was slightly warm, so he couldn't feel the coolness of the medicine at all.
He lowered his head to look at Ye Qiongying who raised her head slightly to apply medicine.
She was a little darker than before, but her skin was not rough, and her features were particularly beautiful.
Like a gorgeous flower, blooming with her unique charm.
He had never given medicine to anyone, let alone had such close contact with anyone, and he never thought those women were good-looking.
But now, he felt that everything about this face was pleasing to the eye. Even the small mole on the side of her face seemed to be just right, right at the tip of his heart.
As he rubbed her, An Yu even forgot the time. He stared at Ye Qiongying blankly and gradually forgot even the movements of his hands.
Ye Qiongying felt the pain in her jaw was disappearing. The medicine was working quite well.
But gradually, the hand on her chin stopped moving. She thought that the medicine had been applied, but she didn't expect that even though there was no movement, the hand didn't move away either.
She raised her eyes and looked at the person in front of her.
An Yu stared at her blankly, as if he had lost his mind, but her figure was clearly reflected in his beautiful eyes.
It seemed like Ye Qiongying just realized at this moment that An Yu was much taller than her, and she lowered her head when applying medicine to her.
And now, they seem to be very close...
Ye Qiongying suddenly came to her senses, quickly dodged back, and moved her chin away from An Yu's palm.
Feeling his palms empty, An Yu came back to his senses.
For some reason, he felt a little panicked, and quickly withdrew his hand, looking at Ye Qiongying with a vague look, and said:
"Sister, I'm sorry, I was distracted just now. By the way, Uncle Ye went out for something today, and he said he would be back at dinner time. He asked me to tell you when you come back."
