Chapter 60 Repayment of Debt

A young maid, who was leaning against someone outside with her face in her hands, tilted her head and suddenly woke up from her dream.

How could I fall asleep.

She hurriedly sat up on her knees and turned anxiously to look at the bed behind the screen.

The screen is covered with a layer of plain silk, painted with the shapes of flowers and birds, and a thin girl sitting inside is faintly visible.

She didn't know whether she was awake or sleeping, leaning silently against the bedpost of her bed.

The maid subconsciously turned her head and looked at the window. The hazy skylight filtered into the room through the white gauze covering the window.

Is it already daylight?

Could it be that Mrs. Gongsun stayed up all night?
The chubby-faced maid was a little hesitant. She wondered whether she should persuade this young girl not to get herself in trouble.

Even if you have to take care of your younger brother, you should take care of yourself first.

But she didn't dare to do anything. Her mother-in-law said she should talk less and do more.

But... the round-faced maid was a little hesitant. Lady Gongsun seemed to be easy to get along with, she was kind and polite and even said thank you to her.

After thinking for a long time, the round-faced maid finally decided to listen to her mother's words. She stood up and secretly hammered her sore legs while adding some charcoal to the charcoal basin in the room.

She secretly glanced behind the screen again, and was thinking about whether to go to the kitchen to ask her mother to make some minced meat soup, when she saw the shadow behind the screen tilted.

"Ah!" The round-faced maid exclaimed softly, then walked around the screen to help her, but saw that the girl who had just tilted her head had already sat upright on her own.

"Ms. Gongsun..." the maid apologized timidly: "My servant is shameless, please punish me."

Gongsun Yan raised his head and looked at the young maid with a round face and a rather pleasant appearance a few steps away.

This maid was wearing dark crimson clothes and looked about fifteen or sixteen years old.

They probably expected that they would escape from Yi Jing alone and would not have much luggage and belongings with them. Everything here was extremely well arranged, from the house to the clothes of the daughters and children, including the maids and maids who served them.

"Aqing, right?" She remembered that when the maid introduced her, she said her name was this. Gongsunyan gently stretched his stiff body, turned around to prevent the maid from seeing her swollen eyes like walnuts, and turned He glanced at the bed beside him: "It's okay."

Gongsun Cheng was lying in the quilt when he was frightened again. The child developed a high fever. Although he drank the decoction, his cheeks, which had only recovered a little in the past few days, were sunken again.

Gongsun Yan tried his forehead and found that the fever had gone away, but he was still sleeping due to the soothing decoction.

Seeing that Gongsun Yan remembered her name, the maid A Qing showed a surprise smile on her face, with two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

"Are you hungry, madam? I will go to the kitchen to prepare some warm soup for you."

Ah Qing's speech was brisk, with the crispness unique to a girl.

Gongsun Yan looked a little dazed.

They are obviously about the same age...

Ah Qing looked at her absent-mindedly, a little confused.

"Mrs. Gongsun?" This beautiful lady Gongsun is kind and polite, but she is a little dazed.

"Oh, okay, I'll bother you then." Gongsun Yan came back to his senses and watched the maid A Qing leave the room.

The door creaked open and closed again.

Gongsun Yan looked away, his expression gloomy.

There was no need to wait for the report of the battle in Yangqiuli last night. She had already received the reminder email from the system and the reward settlement.

"Hello dear user, the general Zhao Yun you appointed successfully led the soldiers to repel the enemy Aduna. You have won this siege. A total of 877 enemy soldiers were killed and 8770 material points were obtained.

The list of serious casualties on our side in this war is as follows:

……

The death benefit is now distributed, and the material points are *13800."

Yesterday, she felt restless and simply took a shower and changed clothes. In the evening, she received the system's siege battle prompt.

No, it's not just a simple reminder.

As if she was in Yangqiu, she personally watched the villagers who had no resistance were slaughtered, watched the old women being hacked to death, watched those women being dragged away and ravaged...

Seeing Li Kui Jiang Xing running around, telling the villagers to run away, he lay on the ground with eyes wide open in anxiety...

But she can't do anything.

It was like watching a documentary and watching Yangqiuli being slaughtered.

Unconsciously, Gongsun Yan's face was covered with tears again.

Later, she watched Zhao Yun arrive and plot to defeat Aduna.

I saw that my body was covered with injuries, as if I had been stretched out by Ling Chi.

He saw the girl wrapped in a cloak by Zhao Yun and placed next to the corpses of her parents.

I saw black ashes flying all over the sky in Yangqiu.

The most bloody and ruthless side of this troubled world was more completely and truly displayed before her eyes.

She had never hated a person so much.

Aduna…

Even if this name rolled on the tip of her tongue, she could grit her teeth.

She watched Aduna being shot through the cheek by Zhao Yun over and over again, with broken teeth flying out and a severed tongue spitting out.

She had been sitting in this dark room, replaying such a bloody scene.

I feel very happy in my heart.

She was regretful and grateful.

It's a pity that Aduna is not dead, but I'm glad that he is still alive.

In this era and with this level of medical care, the severed tongue, the penetrated cheeks, and every broken tooth can cause him pain day and night.

Every day he lives, he suffers every day.

Gongsun Yan actually hoped that he would live a few more days.

Such an ending couldn't be more satisfying. .

Gongsun Yan raised his sleeves and wiped away the tears on his face.

She stood up and gently opened a window covered with layers of white gauze.

A gust of cold wind swept into the house instantly.

The remaining candle that had been burning all night beside the couch was extinguished by the wind, and a wisp of green smoke floated out.

Gongsun Yan looked out the window. The dim morning light illuminated the courtyard and the corridors and pavilions in the distance.

"Gongsun... Madam..." A Qing opened the door and walked in, and saw a girl in plain clothes standing in front of the window, looking at the garden. Looking from the side, there seemed to be a trace of sternness on her white jade face.

Ah Qing felt inexplicably flinched. She timidly put down the copper basin filled with hot water in her hand and wanted to say something.

Then he saw the young girl, turned her head slightly and asked: "Aqing, do you think it is more hateful to hold the hand that kills people with a knife, or the knife itself?"

"Ah?" Ah Qing tilted his head in confusion, and the confused look on his face made Gongsun Yan chuckle.

"They are all hateful." Gongsun Yan asked himself and turned around, "You have to melt the knife and cut off the hand to find peace and relief."
