In a quieter corner of the camp, a new tent was built behind a row of big trees.
There was a brazier burning outside the tent. Although the light was a little dim, everything around him could still be seen clearly.
Inside the tent, two oil lamps were lit, illuminating the interior fairly brightly.
This tent is the residence of Hang Baiqiu and Die Wu. It was specially selected and built for them to avoid many soldiers.
Hang Baiqiu and Diewu were currently tidying up and making beds in the tent, and arranging the things in their bags neatly.
Diewu said while making the bed: "Sir Hang, you are here because of Mr. Chai, right?"
Hang Baiqiu, who was also packing things with his back to Die Wu, was suddenly startled after hearing this, but immediately returned to normal and replied with a sneer: "Ha, you are overthinking..."
Die Wu smiled slightly and said: "Sir Hang, you can't lie to me. We are all women. I understand what you are thinking..."
These words made Hang Baiqiu stop his movements, turned around and sat on the edge of the bed, looked at Die Wu seriously, and asked: "Oh? Then tell me, what am I thinking?"
Diewu also stopped cleaning up, straightened up and looked at Hang Baiqiu, saying: "Sir Hang, you should come here for two reasons..."
"What two reasons?" Hang Baiqiu asked curiously.
Die Wu said: "The first reason, as I just said, is because Mr. Chai, you are worried about him and don't trust him, so you want to be by your side to watch him..."
Hang Baiqiu said: "Hey! Who keeps me alive? I'm not worried about him, I have to keep an eye on him and not let anything happen to him!"
Diewu smiled lightly and continued without revealing her thoughts: "The second reason is because of me! Sir Hang, you must be worried that I have thoughts about Mr. Chai, so you have to follow me, keep an eye on me, and be on guard.
I!"
"Who said that? I didn't think so..." Hang Baiqiu seemed a little guilty and couldn't help but look elsewhere.
Diewu put away his smile and said seriously: "Sir Hang, I am not the kind of person you think. I am here purely to help. Mr. Chai already has his beloved, and I will never do it again.
Go ahead and pester me endlessly. Sir Hang, please believe what I say."
Hang Baiqiu was silent for a while, just nodded slowly and said nothing.
Seeing that the camp became quiet, Die Wu continued to tidy up her things and stopped talking.
Hang Baiqiu looked at Die Wu for a while and suddenly asked: "Die Wu, there is something I haven't understood..."
"What doesn't Mr. Hang understand?" Die Wu raised his head and asked.
Hang Baiqiu said calmly: "I heard from Chai Yan that Hong Biao wanted to help you redeem your life, but you refused! Why? Don't you want to live an ordinary life?"
"I think!" Diewu nodded without hesitation: "But, ever since I met Mr. Chai, Hong Biao gave me the feeling... that it's not appropriate..."
Hang Baiqiu frowned slightly and said displeased: "What do you mean by this?"
Die Wu quickly waved her hand and explained: "Sir Hang, don't get me wrong. I don't mean what you think when I say it. What I mean is that even if Hong Biao redeems my body and I live with her in the future, I don't think I can."
I will live happily... I know best what kind of person he is..."
Diewu confessed to Hang Baiqiu that at first she really hoped that someone would help her redeem herself and become a good person, and the most promising person was Hong Biao. However, after a brief contact with Chaiyan, she found that she wanted to have someone with her for life.
He is not Hong Biao’s type!
That's why Diewu changed her mind and rejected Hong Biao's offer to redeem her life.
Hang Baiqiu didn't quite understand Die Wu's thoughts, but she didn't try to force him to understand. She just reminded Die Wu seriously not to provoke Chai Yan again, let alone to have any ill intentions towards him.
Diewu nodded in agreement, then covered her mouth and laughed. Hang Baiqiu's face immediately turned red when he saw this.
When they were almost done cleaning up, the two heard noises outside.
Diewu was puzzled and asked, "Sir Hang, what's going on outside?"
When Hang Baiqiu came out of the camp, he saw that the source of the sound was from the direction of the martial arts field, so he turned around and said, "They seem to be gathering, probably to announce something..."
Diewu asked with great interest: "Can we go and have a look?"
Hang Baiqiu glanced at the martial arts field, then turned back to Diewu and said, "We've all entered the camp, why can't we see it? Let's go and have a look..."
"Yeah!" Die Wu immediately nodded and responded.
Then, Die Wu went to blow out the lights in the camp and walked towards the martial arts field with Hang Baiqiu.
.............................
The martial arts arena was brightly lit and crowded...
The soldiers who are currently in good condition are gathering in formation. Chai Yan, Jiang Yongshuang, Zhong Shida and other generals have already arrived at the front of the formation.
After the soldiers on the martial arts field were assembled, Jiang Yongshuang took two steps forward, cleared his throat and said loudly to everyone: "Brothers, I suddenly asked you to gather here because there is a very, very important thing. I want to invite you all.
help......."
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but turn their heads and look at each other, curious and guessing what kind of help General Jiang wanted from everyone.
After a pause for two breaths, Jiang Yongshuang's face became solemn and he continued loudly: "Brothers, the doctors in the town have already entered the camp. In other words, the day when the plague is eradicated is not far away! However, the day when the plague will be eradicated is not far away!
The process is not easy, it can even be said to be difficult..."
Jiang Yongshuang glanced around everyone and said with a serious expression: "From now on, I need a group of brave people to stand up and serve as assistants to the doctors. Their duties are to take care of the sick brothers and clean and clean their camps.
daily routine!”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a commotion in the queue. Many soldiers began to whisper and talk to each other. Some looked puzzled, some shook their heads and muttered to themselves, and some looked worried...
Jiang Yongshuang couldn't help but frown when he saw this. The situation in front of him was not much different from what he thought. The soldiers were indeed a little scared.
"Captain Zhong!" Jiang Yongshuang called.
"Yes!" Zhong Shida responded immediately.
Jiang Yong said: "Explain this matter to everyone carefully!"
"Yes, General!" Zhong Shida immediately agreed, stepped forward, and loudly said to the people below: "Brothers, the General has said that anyone who is willing to serve as an assistant will immediately be given a reward of three taels of silver.
No default..."
As soon as the news of the remuneration was announced, there was an explosion among the soldiers...
"Wow, three taels of silver! Isn't that more than two months' military pay?" Someone shouted in surprise.
There are also more rational voices saying: "Two months of military pay is correct, but it is too dangerous to stay next to patients all day long. If you accidentally contract the plague, it will be... ruined."
Is it done?"
Some people followed and speculated: "Don't you think there is something fishy about this matter? The general is actually willing to spend such a huge amount of money. This matter must be quite dangerous!"
In the end, this voice was quickly recognized by everyone, and many people around nodded in agreement, and at the same time gave up the idea of earning these three taels of silver.
