Chapter 44

“What’s wrong?” Gu Qijiao was startled by Zheng Yunsheng’s sudden cry of pain. She lost her balance and fell forward. She also cried out: “Ah!”

Zheng Yunsheng was pretending to be in pain, but after being hit by Gu Qijiao, his back really started to hurt. He turned around and grabbed Gu Qijiao’s hand, and said with a painful expression:

“Are you trying to murder your husband, Gu Qijiao?”

“I didn’t mean it. You scared me when you screamed like that just now. Um, are you okay?” Gu Qijiao stared at Zheng Yunsheng at a loss.

“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt that much. Let’s continue on our way!” Although Zheng Yunsheng said that he was fine, his expression gave people the feeling that he was enduring the pain.

At this point, Gu Qijiao would never let him go on like this, so she stopped him:

“Stand still, take off your clothes, and let me see!”

Zheng Yunsheng pretended not to understand what Gu Qijiao meant: “Ah, Jiaojiao, if you want to see it, I’ll take off all my clothes when we get home tonight so you can see enough. It’s not good to do it here.

What if someone sees us and says we are looking for excitement in the wild? What if they suspect that there is something wrong with our conduct? That would be inappropriate.

In the past, he liked to compete secretly, and he hated to like someone without showing it, and to admire him without making a sound.

After deciding to let himself go, he discovered that once the door was opened, he could also talk endlessly.

He can even behave like a scoundrel.

After realizing that she was being teased, Gu Qijiao rolled her eyes at Zheng Yunsheng:

“What are you thinking about? I just saw that you have a wound on your back, so I asked you to take off your clothes so that I can treat it for you. If you don’t want to deal with it, I won’t care.”

“Hey, let’s deal with it. You didn’t make it clear. I didn’t understand what you meant at first.”

As he spoke, Zheng Yunsheng reached out to the collar of his shirt and began to unbutton it.

Soon, Zheng Yunsheng unbuttoned all the buttons and took off his shirt, revealing his tall and broad back.

Because he is often exposed to the sun while working, his back, like his face, is tanned to a wheat color with a nice, healthy glow.

There was a small hole in the skin between his shoulder blades, and blood was still oozing out of it.

Gu Qijiao walked forward and wiped the blood, only to find that although the wound was not big, it was very deep.

The weather is so hot now. If this wound is not treated, it will become inflamed and infected and fester.

“Sit here for a while. I’ll find some herbs for you to apply.”

“Ah, herbs, no need for that!” Zheng Yunsheng felt that his injury didn’t seem that serious.

Gu Qijiao said nothing, turned around and headed into the nearby forest.

Herbs are not difficult to find. In the past, when Gu Qijiao followed her grandparents into the mountains, she would get bumped and bruised, and her grandparents would just find herbs locally to apply to her.

In just a few minutes, she found the common wormwood, took it to the stone, mixed it with moss, and mashed it into a ball.

Then he walked to Zheng Yunsheng and stuffed the crushed grass into the wound on Zheng Yunsheng’s back little by little, and finally covered it with a layer of grass.

“Put on your clothes and don’t move. Once the herbs are dry, they won’t fall off.”

“Oh, it’s great to have a wife. Jiaojiao knows so much.” Zheng Yunsheng continued to flatter Gu Qijiao while putting on his clothes.

But Gu Qijiao still didn’t say anything. Seeing that he was already getting dressed, she walked past him and continued walking forward.

Zheng Yunsheng could only button his shirt while chasing after Gu Qi.

The medicine on his back felt a little cold, but his heart felt warm. She had applied it herself!

Originally, it would only take forty minutes to walk ten miles.

Due to the rugged mountain road and the accidents that occurred on the way, Gu Qijiao and Zheng Yunsheng walked for a full hour and a half before they saw the Corps camp in the distance.

It is called a camp, but in fact it is just a dormitory built with bricks and a few simple large canteens. The conditions are visibly difficult.

With the letter of introduction, Zheng Yunsheng and Gu Qijiao easily entered the camp gate.

A young soldier took the couple to the reception desk of the camp, poured each of them a large bowl of water, and then went out to help them find someone.

At this time, Wen Jing was cutting trees on the barren mountain.

The farm work in the Corps is different from that in the countryside. They don’t have much ready-made land to farm, and most of the work is reclaiming wasteland in the mountains.

Their mission is to turn barren hills covered with weeds into usable agricultural land.

When the soldier informed Wen Jing that someone was coming to visit, she was really surprised.

Because her home is in a nearby town, she can take leave to go back home during the holidays, so there is no need for her family to come here to visit her.

No one has ever come to see her before. Could something have happened at home?

Wen Jing followed the soldier who came to inform her down the mountain with some trepidation.

The soldier took Wen Jing directly to the reception desk.

When she pushed the door open, the first thing she saw was Zheng Yunsheng sitting opposite her, and she couldn’t help but be stunned.

Because she didn’t know this person at all.

Could it be that they have the same name and surname?

“Hello.” Wen Jing greeted Zheng Yunsheng tentatively.

Zheng Yunsheng looked at Wen Jing strangely and thought to himself, didn’t Jiaojiao say that her friend is a gay?

How come a woman came here?

When Gu Qijiao heard the familiar and cheerful voice behind her, she paused for a moment, then raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

She turned around and looked at Wen Jing with a smile:

“Xiao Wenjing, long time no see.”

Only Gu Qijiao and Wen Jing know what this “小” means. This was the nickname Gu Qijiao gave to Wen Jing when she was in junior high school because she was making fun of her flat chest.

However, this nickname is no longer suitable for Wen Jing now. Even when she is wearing a military uniform, her chest is bulging and full of burden.

The call of ‘little Wen Jing’ stunned Wen Jing.

She opened her eyes wide and stood there in a daze for a full half minute.

“Hey, little Wen Jing, are you stupid?” Gu Qijiao still looked at Wen Jing and smiled.

After Gu Qijiao spoke for the second time, Wen Jing woke up and excitedly ran to Gu Qijiao and hugged her from behind:

“Ah, Gu Qijiao, it’s you, it’s you, how could it be you!”

Because she was ticklish, Gu Qijiao couldn’t help giggling after being hugged by Wen Jing.

Zheng Yunsheng stared at Wen Jing’s arms as she hugged Gu Qijiao, and was very secretive.

After a long while, Wen Jing finally calmed down. She asked Gu Qijiao: “Why did you think of coming to see me?”

“To be honest, I actually have something I want to ask you.” Gu Qijiao truthfully stated the purpose of her visit, and asked Wen Jing in a low voice:
