Chapter 72 What secret do you have, Bai Ling?

Little did he know that Shangguan Yu, who was at the border, had just won a battle. Before he could turn his horse around, he felt a heart-piercing pain in his chest.

"Ah!" Shangguan Yu cried out in pain, clutching his chest and falling to the ground.

Fortunately, the enemy troops have retreated. Otherwise, if the two armies fainted in front of the formation, the morale of the troops would be unstable and the border would be in danger.

"Young Marshal!" Fuhu came to Shangguan Yu on horseback, quickly turned over and dismounted, and regardless of his own injuries, he hurriedly picked up Shangguan Yu on his horse and hurried back to the city as quickly as possible.

Apart from the emperor, only a few masters of the Han Palace and a few key members of the Zifeng Army knew that Shangguan Yu was born with a strange poison.

Fu Hu seemed to be a reckless man, but he probably held a very important position in the army, and had the trust of the commander Han Wang, so he was not a brainless person.

"Pass the military doctor." Fu Hu returned directly to his military tent and ordered his confidants to guard outside. Looking at Shangguan Yu, whose facial features were tangled in pain, he asked eagerly: "Young Marshal, where is your medicine?"

"Let Zifeng cook preserved egg porridge and deliver it." Shangguan Yu squeezed out a sentence through his teeth.

Fuhu thought he had heard wrongly, seeing that the cold sweat on Shangguan Yu's forehead was thicker than peas, he hurriedly ordered his confidants to summon Zifeng, not daring to waste time.

Busy days always pass very quickly, and the winter months arrive in a blink of an eye. After several heavy snowfalls, the villagers do not like to go out more and more, and there are even fewer people visiting the house to chat.

The three-bedroom house is not strong. Every time it snows, Bai Sanshu has to go to the house to clear the snow. Bai Ling and Bai Wei do this kind of work frequently, so as to avoid the tragedy of the house being crushed by the snow.

.

However, Bai Ling still has to go to town every few days, otherwise the business of selling vegetables will be revealed, so he doesn't dare to let people come to collect the vegetables.

Bai Wei followed Bai Liu's order and took some grain, cloth and other items to send the white grass for the wedding.

"What's going on? Didn't you go see your eldest sister today?" After Bai Ling came home, he went straight to the kitchen and wanted to get some hot water to soak his feet to warm up his body.

"The life of the eldest sister's husband's family is not bad, but the eldest sister is still wearing the same tattered clothes at home. She is shivering from the cold. She is still washing clothes by the river. Her hands are even worse with frostbite than when she was at home."

Bai Wei gritted her teeth, lowered her head to light the fire, not letting Bai Ling see her red eyes, and said in a low voice:

"I secretly gave the eldest sister a tael of silver and asked her to keep it. The eldest sister seemed to be afraid that her husband's family would know that I had been there, so she didn't dare to take me to her house."

Bai Ling frowned, having a bad feeling in his heart.

"Don't tell your mother about this yet. I'll go see my eldest sister later." Bai Ling sat by the stove to keep warm. The memory of the original owner flashed through his mind and asked, "Is it possible that my eldest sister's in-laws are afraid that my eldest sister will not be safe?"

You just want to live your life, so why do you do this to your eldest sister?"

Farmers spend money to marry a daughter-in-law, and they will also discuss things with the new daughter-in-law when she comes to the house, just because they are afraid that the new daughter-in-law will not listen to discipline.

As Baicao was bought, her husband's family was afraid that she might have second thoughts, so it was possible that she might try to seduce her mother's family.

Bai Ling wanted to say, 'If the eldest sister is not having a good life, then let her reconcile with Li, since our family can afford to support her anyway', but Bai Ling knew very well that it was very difficult for women in ancient times to reconcile with Li.

Not to mention whether the family can accept it, but whether Baicao himself is willing to do it is also unknown.

"You'd better not go. If my brother-in-law's family finds out, my life may be even more difficult for my eldest sister. Anyway, after the Chinese New Year, my eldest sister will go back to her parents' home. Let's have a good talk with her then. I'll go this time,

I'm giving something to my eldest sister. Maybe my eldest sister's in-laws will be nice to her if they know that our life is getting better." After Bai Wei was silent for a while, she handed the fire stick to Bai Ling and got up to make hot soup noodles.

When Bai Ling thought about this, he said nothing more.

However, the sisters did not know that after Baicao returned with the things given by her parents, she was severely beaten.

The reason was that the two villages were far apart, and Baicao's husband's family did not believe that Bai Sanshu's family could stand up, and insisted that Baicao had seduced the man.

Not only the things but also the money were taken away by her husband, and Baicao was locked up in a demolished house and left alone for three days. Baicao was hungry and cold and fell seriously ill before being released, but no one thought to call a doctor.

, managed to survive.

But the people in the third room didn't know. Mrs. Bai Liu was still thinking about whether Bai Cao would wear new cotton clothes made of the fabric and cotton she brought when she returned to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year.

Zifeng City.

The enemy troops retreated, and Shangguan Yu returned to the city to recuperate.

In the past two months, the King of Han's injuries were no longer harmful, and Shangguan Yuqiang did not need support to deal with military affairs and stabilize the morale of the army.

"Master, there are only twenty preserved eggs left, and there is only one box of canned food in total." Zifeng came to Shangguan Yu's bed with a bowl of canned fruit and asked, "How about I go to Nanshan Village and buy some more?"

Are you coming here?"

"No, leave the rest to father. We will set off back to Wufu Town tomorrow." Shangguan Yu took the bowl and ate slowly, his face still a little pale.

"But your body..." Zifeng frowned.

"There's so much nonsense. If you don't want to go back, just change places with Yang Fan and let him go back to serve me." Shangguan Yu handed the empty bowl to Zifeng, then picked up the Art of War at his side and read it.

"My subordinates don't have Commander Yang's skills, so they can just stay with me and serve me." Zifeng hurriedly rejected Shangguan Yu's suggestion with a smile.

"So, I am the least important, so it is only appropriate for you to stay?" Shangguan Yu raised his eyebrows, his tone slightly cold.

"My master will leave tomorrow. I will pack my luggage immediately and come back to serve my master later." Zifeng rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and did not dare to continue this topic, otherwise he would not be able to bear the consequences.

"Slippery." Shangguan Yu laughed and shook his head.

To be Shangguan Yu's close subordinate, in addition to loyalty, his kung fu and ability to do things are naturally top-notch.

Shangguan Yu has always been a master, servant, and brother to his close subordinates, so he will not really embarrass them.

And when working around Shangguan Yu, except for Yang Fan, subordinates who can be named with the character purple all mean that they are Shangguan Yu's confidants, and their weight is different.

"Bai Ling..." Shangguan Yu looked at the book, but whispered Bai Ling's name, and whispered: "What secret do you have? Why can the food you make relieve the toxins in my body?"

Bai Ling, who was far away in Nanshan Village, sneezed, rubbed his nose and said, "Is there anyone who is talking about me? It seems that I haven't offended anyone."

The life of Sanfang is still busy. Even though Bai Sanshu and his wife no longer go to town every day, there are still a lot of things that need to be done at home.

Bai Sanshu took care of the acre of winter wheat very carefully, checking every day to see if the seedlings had been frozen to death, just in case any of the straw curtains were blown up by the wind.

When Mrs. Bai Liu was at home, she worked hard to make clothes for the whole family. After everyone made three sets of clothes throughout the year, Mrs. Bai Liu was busy making shoes and had no time to spare.

Bai Wei focused all her attention on winter vegetables. Some vegetables would not grow again after being cut, so Bai Wei replanted them with new ones.

A pound of green vegetables has increased to fifty cents per pound, which is more profitable than digging for herbs.

"Second sister, do you have to use green vegetables to eat hot pot? This will cost several hundred yuan." Seeing Bai Ling pick a large pot of green vegetables, Bai Wei felt distressed and wanted to grab it.

"Both the meat and vegetables are delicious, but it's a pity that I made it on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, it would taste better if I made some meatballs or something." Bai Ling swallowed his saliva as he spoke, feeling very greedy.

Bai Wei gritted her teeth and followed Bai Ling out, warning: "This hot pot is too expensive. You should eat less in the future, at least not all the time in winter."

"That depends on whether you still want to eat this meal or not." Bai Ling blinked and chuckled, but did not agree. (To be continued)
