Kingdom of Heaven and Han

While Wang Xiaolie was arranging the next affairs of the army in Datong, Chunchun came to Taiyuan Mansion accompanied by Liu Sanniang.After asking people, the two of them arrived at a large house near the government office.

Seeing soldiers standing guard at the door, Liu Sanniang said happily: "It must be here! Look, there are soldiers standing at the door!"

Stepping forward, Chunchun timidly asked the soldiers standing guard: "Brother, do you dare to ask if this is a military hospital?"

The soldier looked Chunchun and Liu Sanniang up and down and said, "This is a hospital. However, this hospital is inhabited by officers at the head and command level, not ordinary people. Who are you?"

Liu Sanniang rushed to say: "We are looking for a man named Sun Xiaoyi. I heard that he is the captain in the army."

When the soldier heard that the person who came to see him was Dutou, his face became much kinder.He said: "Go over there and ask, and then go in after registering."

Chunchun and Liu Sanniang saw a house nearby with an official sitting inside.He quickly thanked the soldiers and arrived in front of the house.He said to the official: "We are looking for a captain named Sun Xiaoyi, please let the officials know."

After hearing this, the official took out a booklet from in front of him.After checking for a while, he said: "The person who lives here is Commander Sun Xiaoyi, not Sun Xiaoyi. May I ask, are you alone?"

After hearing this, Chunchun turned back to Liu Sanniang in confusion and said: "When I was in Pingyao, I only heard that Sun Xiaoyi was the head of the capital, so why did he become the commander again?"

Liu Sanniang said to the officials: "Yes, there must be no lies. In the war a few days ago, on the battlefield, isn't it normal for everyone to be promoted to commander?"

The official looked at the two of them carefully, closed the book, and said: "Okay, let's register here. After you register, you can go in."

Liu Sanniang asked doubtfully: "Register for what?"

The official said: "Your name, place of origin, and why you came to visit whom. This is a military hospital, can you enter casually?"

Liu Sanniang and Chunchun did not dare to say anything more. They reported their names and place of origin and said they were visiting Sun Xiaoyi before entering the hospital.When registering her name, Chunchun reported that she was Pei Shiba Niang, but it was a name that even Liu Sanniang didn't know.

A name like Chunchun can only be a child's nickname, or a stage name for men who work in menial jobs such as prostitutes and maids.During the Song Dynasty, most of the formal names given to women were solemn, such as names like Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen.But most women's names still have the word "mother" added to them.This is very different from later generations, who like to call people names such as Zuer and Yuanyuan, which was not possible in the Song Dynasty.

When I entered the hospital, I saw rows of houses with signs written on them which department and ward number.

Chunchun and Liu Sanniang were confused and didn't know where to look. After walking around on the road a few times, Liu Sanniang became a little annoyed.Chunchun was always scared and wanted to cry, which made Liu Sanniang even more upset.

Returning to the intersection, Liu Sanniang said: "How to search like this? Let's find someone to ask."

After finishing speaking, he saw an official in a green shirt in front of him, stepped forward and saluted: "Official, we are here to visit the patient. But walking around here, we don't know where the patient lives. Can you give us some pointers? ?”

When the official in green shirt saw that they were two young women, he felt a good feeling in his heart.He said enthusiastically: "Who do you want to visit? Name him and I will check it for you."

Liu Sanniang was overjoyed.He said: "It's a commander named Sun Xiaoyi."

The green-shirted official nodded.Then he asked: "What disease does Sun Xiaoyi have? Why is he hospitalized?"

Chunchun hurriedly interrupted: "He was injured on the battlefield. We don't know what disease he got or why he was hospitalized. We just got the news at home that he was hospitalized, right here. We came from our hometown of Baba and just wanted to see him One side." After saying that, tears flowed down.

The official in green shirt said hurriedly: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Being hospitalized here means that you are about to recover and be discharged. Please wait a moment, I will go and ask you."

After saying that, the green-shirted official ran to a nearby hut.After a while, he came out of the room and said: "Commander Sun Xiaoyi is in the wards at the back. I will take you there. He was seriously injured, so he lives in a remote place. No wonder you can't find him."

Led by the officials in green shirts, Chunchun and Liu Sanniang walked back.After walking all the way to the end, the green-shirted officer went to the west and opened a small courtyard and said, "Commander Sun lives here. You can go in. Remember not to make any noise, so as not to disturb other people."

Liu Sanniang and Chunchun entered the small courtyard and saw that it was very quiet inside.There are several green pine trees planted in the middle of the yard, which are green and tall.

All the rooms had their doors closed, and I could hear voices inside, but no one could be seen.

The green-shirted officer pointed to the penultimate room and said, "Commander Sun lives in that house, you just go in."

Chunchun and Liu Sanniang cautiously walked to the door.Looking back, I saw that the official in green shirt had left and the door of the small courtyard had been closed.Chunchun suddenly felt her heart beating hard and was a little scared.

Liu Sanniang put her ear against the door, listened for a while, and then said to Chunchun: "There are people in the house. Several men shouted loudly, and I don't know what they were doing."

Chunchun said: "Shall we go in?"

Liu Sanniang said: "We're already here, of course we can go in. Otherwise, why would we have come!"

After saying that, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

After a while, I heard a man inside muttering: "We see each other every day, why do we need to open the door?"

With that said, the door creaked open.The man stuck his head out and found that Chunchun and Liu Sanniang didn't know each other.

The man looked at Liu Sanniang and Chunchun and asked, "Who are you looking for? You must have gone to the wrong house."

Chunchun bowed and said, "Let's come to see Sun Xiaoyi. Doesn't he live here?"

The man hurriedly said: "Live here, live here. - Sun Xiaoyi, there are two women here looking for you!"

Following the words, a person came out of the room.Chunchun watched intently, who could it be if it wasn't Sun Xiaoyi?
Sun Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment when he saw that it was Chunchun standing at the door.Then he quickly walked forward and grabbed Chunchun's hand: "It's you!"

Chunchun looked at Sun Xiaoyi. He was neatly tidied up and his face was still vaguely the same as in his memory.Tears flowed down unknowingly, and he choked and said: "We were in Pingyao. I heard that you were injured, very seriously, and I was very scared. Later I heard that you had come to Taiyuan, so I wanted to come and take a look. .”

Sun Xiaoyi smiled and said: "On the battlefield, it is common to receive some stab wounds and gunshot wounds. What's the fuss? But this time the injury I suffered was not ordinary. My intestines came out on the spot. Fortunately, the military doctors are experts. , rescued me and recuperated here."
