Border Cook

Chapter 306: Dying
"Madam Xia..."

Shi Yong looked grief-stricken, his eyes were red, and he looked like he was trying hard not to cry. He choked up several times before speaking with some difficulty, "Commander Lu, he..."

"What's wrong with him?" Xia Mingyue's heart was in her throat when she saw this, and her voice was trembling when she spoke.

"Commander Lu was ambushed by the enemy while patrolling the border and was seriously injured. The military doctor said that Commander Lu was beyond help and had only a few days to live..."

Shi Yong sniffed and continued, "The military commander saw this and was concerned about Commander Lu's wife at home, so he asked me to ask Madam Xia to go to the military camp and meet Commander Lu."

"Madam Xia, please follow me to the military camp immediately. If you are late, I am afraid you will not be able to see me for the last time!"

Seriously injured, with not much time left, one last meeting...

These words sounded so simple and clear, but they sounded so strange to Xia Mingyue, as if she didn't recognize them at all.

For the first time, Xia Mingyue felt deeply what it felt like to be struck by a bolt from the blue, and even lost her mind for a moment.

It was not until the teeth bit deeply into his lips and blood oozed out that Xia Mingyue felt the pain and came to her senses.

Taking a deep breath, Xia Mingyue calmed her mind and quickly separated her thoughts from the chaos.

The more this happens, the more we must not panic.

Xia Mingyue let out a long breath, shook her head, and when she raised her eyelids again, her gaze was clear and determined.

"Brother Shi, please wait a moment. I will pack up and go with you." Xia Mingyue said to Jiang Zhuguo, "Go next door to see if Doctor Yin is free and can go to the military camp with me."

Doctor Yin's medical skills are excellent, and perhaps he can save Lu Qiyan.

"Zhuang Cui, come with me." Xia Mingyue said.

The journey to the army is not short, and having Zhuang Cui, who is quite skilled, by my side makes me feel more at ease. In case I need anything else, it would be more convenient to have someone around to help.

"Yes!" Zhuang Cui responded and hurried to get some necessary things for going out.

When Shi Yong saw that Xia Mingyue was going to bring so many people at once, he opened his mouth to refuse, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words.

It's a trip anyway, so it doesn't matter if there are many or few people.

Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui quickly packed up everything they needed, and Jiang Zhuguo also came back from next door, wiping the sweat off his forehead, "Doctor Yin and Brother Mao are not at home, I wonder if they are out looking for herbs."

"Why don't Sister Xia and Sister Zhuang go first? I'll wait for Doctor Yin and the others to come back home, tell them, and then find a carriage to take them there."

This can save some time and avoid delaying Xia Mingyue's trip.

"Okay." Seeing this, Xia Mingyue felt that this was the only arrangement, so she and Zhuang Cui followed Shi Yong out.

Jiangzhu fruit, Lu and Wu Jin saw them off.

"Sister Xia, be careful on your way. Brother-in-law is a lucky man, and he will be fine."

"Yes, sister-in-law, Qi Yan has always been very skilled and has a good physical foundation. Even if he was attacked by someone this time, he will not be seriously injured. The military doctors in the army are probably not very skilled. Doctor Yin will definitely be able to cure him when he goes there. Don't worry, sister-in-law."

“Woof woof woof woof woof woof woof…”

He barked many times in one breath, almost suffocating Wu Jin. After he took a breath, he barked again for a long time.

A conspicuous bag should be fine.

It even wanted to take a look at the conspicuous bag, but that was a military camp, definitely not a place it could enter and leave at will, so it had to give up.

I hope the conspicuous bag is okay and its owner won’t be sad…

"Well, Qi Yan will be fine." Xia Mingyue whispered softly. She said it to all the people who comforted her, and even more so to herself.

The carriage prepared by Shi Yong had already stopped at the entrance of the alley. It was getting late, and Shi Yong kept urging them, so Xia Mingyue and Zhuang Cui hurriedly got on the carriage.

The driver cracked his whip and the carriage sped away, heading west.

After leaving the city gate, along the wide and deserted official road, the carriage ran faster and faster.

The car was shaking so violently that Xia Mingyue had to hold on to the wooden board inside the car tightly to keep her body steady.

Her thoughts at this moment became a little messy because of the bumpy ride of the carriage.

Although she tried very hard to keep herself calm and face it all bravely, Xia Mingyue's eyes became redder and redder when she thought of Lu Qiyan who was in danger.

Scenes from the past kept appearing in my eyes.

When I first met Lu Qiyan, he was cold and distant, but also polite.

After getting to know each other slowly, Lu Qiyan respected her and showed the care and support that a husband should give to his wife.

Even when she was in trouble, he helped her again and again...

Just when she felt that the relationship between her and Lu Qiyan was slowly heating up and they seemed to have a good impression of each other, would she have to face the cruelty of being separated forever?

Xia Mingyue bit her lips and kept stroking the bag in her hand.

The bag contained some things she was going to take to Lu Qiyan.

The same shoes she made for Lu Qiyan.

Ever since Shi Yong came back last time and asked if there was anything he wanted to bring for Lu Qiyan, Xia Mingyue felt that she couldn't be lazy about these things anymore, lest she be filled with regrets when the right time came, so she rushed to make this pair of shoes.

No matter what, she had to make Lu Qiyan wear the shoes she made herself.

The second thing was two purses she made.

The purse does not have too many complicated patterns and is made rather simply. Even the strings that should be embroidered on the bottom are not made, but it is filled with dried peach petals.

The peach petals came from the peach branch that Lu Qiyan picked for her.

The peach blossom branch was brought back from the orchard by Lu Qiyan after he went to warn the Zhang father and son. It had been blooming for a long time, so much so that the whole house was filled with the rich fragrance of peach blossoms for a long time.

Xia Mingyue liked the scent of peach blossoms, and felt warm in her heart because of Lu Qiyan's silent care for her, so she collected all the petals of the peach blossoms, dried them, and made them into purses.

He kept one of them for himself and prepared to give the other one to Lu Qiyan. He kept it by his side so that he could have something to think about during his long years in the army.

The third thing was the fried noodles, which Lu Qiyan loved the most among all the foods she had made.

Lu Qiyan said that this thing tastes good, is easy to carry and store, and there are bandits roaming around, so when you go to raid, you can bring some with you...

and many more!

Yes, Lu Qiyan had said before that the army was interested in suppressing bandits, and he very much hoped to participate.

But the last time Shi Yong came to deliver the silver, he said that Lu Qiyan was rewarded for defeating the Liu army.

This doesn't seem to match what Lu Qiyan said before?

My eldest child is going to junior high school, and the author has been worried sick recently... It is so hard to be a mother, I am crying.

This month, I first had to go back to my hometown to visit my parents. A relative at home was hit by a car and broke his bone. Dabao was unwell and was in the hospital for treatment. He needed to recuperate for a period of time. I was also facing the transition from primary school to junior high school. The author was a little exhausted. After typing every day, I hurried to do other trivial things. I haven't had time to thank the readers who voted for the monthly ticket, rewarded and supported the author. Here I would like to thank all the little cuties who support the author~ Thank you~
