When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

However, except for the young man, the soldiers in the tent did not react much. They were chatting and laughing, and did not care about the questions asked by the young man.

The person who asked this question was the youngest soldier who appeared in Jianghe Inn the day before, named Cui Yan.

He was fifteen years old, with his hair tied up, and had just joined the barracks, so his body was still clean and fair.

The young soldier did not wait for a response and turned to look at the other soldiers in the tent. However, after just one glance, he turned away with a pale face in fear.

The other soldiers in the tent all had scars of varying depths on their bodies.

The shallow wounds only affected the epidermis, while the deep wounds had not yet fully healed. Now, because of the firefighting, the wounds had split open again, with the skin and flesh turned outward and incomplete, looking hideous and horrible.

You can imagine how the sharp blade can cut deeply into the flesh and injure the bones.

The clothes that had just been changed were soaked with sweat because of the rush to put out the fire. On the innermost clothes, where the wound was located, blood and yellow pus could be seen.

The two soldiers next to him, seeing his look, did not show any disgust. They just looked at each other and smiled understandingly without any blame.

The war between Northern Qi and Yunqiang lasted for more than a year, and everyone's injuries were all new before the old ones had healed.

Even after the war was over, his wounds had not fully healed after more than half a year of recuperation in the barracks.

Therefore, when changing clothes, in order to avoid pulling the wound with excessive movements, everyone changes clothes more slowly.

He Yu's injuries were much better than those of the other soldiers in the tent. After dressing himself, he quickly turned around and helped the seriously injured soldiers in the tent put on their clothes.

"Let me help you put it on." Although He Yu had a smile on his face, he could see pain in his eyes and his hands were moving very cautiously.

The older soldier who was helped first was also in Jianghe Inn the day before. His name was Meng Dafeng.

"Thank you." Meng Dafeng looked at the military uniform he was putting on, and said jokingly with some emotion in his eyes: "I'm really useless now that I'm old. When I was young, I was still full of energy after suffering this injury. But now, I need help to put on my clothes."

"Brother Meng, what are you saying to thank me? I joined the army relatively late, and you guys usually take care of me. Not to mention now, I can help you wear clothes for the rest of your life."

A soldier nearby said jokingly, "Are you sincere in what you said? Are you trying to make fun of us?"

"Of course I'm sincere." He Yu smiled, without stopping what he was doing, and said seriously.

After putting on his clothes from the back, He Yu turned to the front of Meng Dafeng. Meng Dafeng stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Xiao He, go help others. I can put on the clothes in the front by myself."

"to make."

Just as He Yu was about to leave, Meng Dafeng saw a corner of the book sticking out of He Yu's arms.

"Wait a minute." Meng Dafeng took the book and pulled it out. Although he could not read, he could still count a few words.

Meng Dafeng asked with a hint of sarcasm: "Xiao He, it's been two days and you haven't finished reading the storybook yet."

He Yu had a bitter face and said with a groan, "How can I have time to read? The general came out this time to investigate a case, not to fight a war. He only brought a small group of soldiers with him. If he wants to take a break from his busy schedule to read a book, it will be too conspicuous. If Captain Hong finds out, he will definitely scold him."

"How dare you bring books to the island?" the other soldiers in the tent teased.

He Yu turned around, stuffed the corner of the quilt back into his clothes, chuckled a few times and said, "It's just like when we were in the military camp. Just don't say anything."

"I can keep it a secret for you, but... you said this book was so good in the inn. When you finish reading it, don't forget to tell us about it to cheer us up."

"Okay, I promise to tell you vividly." He Yu agreed immediately, and then he helped put on his clothes. He smiled and turned around and said, "Okay, Brother Meng."

After he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the tent.

"We haven't even reached the lake island yet, and weird things are happening one after another. Aren't you scared at all? Why are you still laughing?"

Cui Yan's shouting made the entire tent quiet, with fear and incomprehension written all over their faces.

He Yu paused for a moment, then quickly resumed his movements, trying to comfort Cui Yan: "Why are you suddenly saying such depressing words, do you also want Brother He to put clothes on you?"

"I'm not kidding! Brother He, you just said it yourself. The general only brought a small group of people. No one knows what will happen on the island..."

Cui Yan clenched his fists and said in an incomprehensible expression: "We have finally settled down and don't have to fight anymore. Aren't you... afraid..." Cui Yan pursed his lips and couldn't say the word.

"Dead?"

Meng Dafeng said the words that Cui Yan dared not say, and looked at Cui Yan with firm eyes. The originally cheerful atmosphere became dull.

Cui Yan knew very well that he shouldn't say such discouraging words at this time. He didn't dare to look into Meng Dafeng's eyes. He lowered his gaze, his body trembling slightly.

"Your expression is quite similar to that of someone who tried to commit suicide but failed and was scolded by all of us." Meng Dafeng said meaningfully.

Soon, there was another burst of laughter in the tent, and He Yu also laughed awkwardly a few times.

Lin Lezhi and Liu Yunhe just happened to walk outside the tent and heard their hearty laughter.

"What are they talking about? They look so happy."

Liu Yunhe was curious and wanted to move closer to listen, but was grabbed by the collar by Lin Lezhi. At the moment when his collar was grabbed, Hong Mingxu, who had come out to check, walked over calmly with a serious face, and then lifted the tent cloth and said sternly: "Why are you chatting here instead of changing your clothes quickly!"

Meng Dafeng quickly clasped his fists, nodded his head and admitted his mistake, saying, "I'm sorry, Captain Hong, we'll change and leave right away."

Hong Mingxu snorted coldly, then put down the tent cloth and turned around. Lin Lezhi secretly poked Liu Yunhe and nodded politely to Hong Mingxu. Liu Yunhe understood and also returned the courtesy.

Hong Mingxu nodded in the direction of the two of them with cold eyes, then turned and left.

After Hong Mingxu left, Lin Lezhi stared at the tent for a while, his eyes slightly gloomy.

After Hong Mingxu left, Liu Yunhe muttered softly, "It's not time yet, why bother changing clothes?"

Lin Lezhi looked at the tent with a darkened look in his eyes, narrowed his eyes slightly, pulled Liu Yunhe over and said with a fake smile: "Why do you have so many things to be curious about all day long?"

Liu Yunhe smiled, and then a devilish idea flashed across his face. He bargained with Lin Lezhi, "It's okay if I'm not curious. Tell me, how do you know that it was the medicine I sent you?"

Lin Lezhi also smiled, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "I can tell you, but you have to do me a favor later."

Liu Yunhe looked very proud and bargained: "I just called someone back for you, I have already done you a favor."

Lin Lezhi said indifferently: "Then think about it yourself."

After a moment of silence, Liu Yunhe said with a stubborn face, "What help?"
