Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 211 Awakening

Gu Fengyue slept for three days and three nights. During the time he was asleep, Song Chunlin also slept with him. General Dou came over personally several times to check on the two ancestors, mainly to see if they were still alive.

Of course, both of them were alive, but they just couldn't wake up. General Dou asked the doctor to take their pulses and confirmed that they were just sleeping.

"Go to sleep..." General Dou had a strange look on his face and sent the doctor out again. He no longer expected the doctor to tell him when Gu Fengyue and Song Chunlin would wake up. Let them sleep as long as they want. As long as they are alive, that's enough.

General Dou limped back to the hall on crutches. Looking at the pile of official business, he felt darkness before his eyes again.

"Oh, if I had known this earlier, I would have fainted too. There are so many things to do, it will take me forever to deal with them..." General Dou muttered to himself, and then resigned himself to his official duties.

The houses that were demolished and burned had to be rebuilt, the dead people should be buried, and those who were not buried... had to be registered so that when their families came to look for them later, they would have an explanation.

Some common people's family members have all died, and their properties will be confiscated if no one claims them. General Dou ordered people to first clean up those habitable houses. There were not many of them, and those barbarians were used to destroying things. More than half of the houses in the city had been destroyed. The rest were either dilapidated houses or residences of dignitaries. These houses naturally could not be distributed directly to ordinary people, so there were not many habitable houses left.

General Dou has already sent someone to report to the court urgently over a distance of eight hundred miles. He has stored the bodies of the Turkic nobles in the cellar, but now that the weather is getting hotter, they probably won't last long.

If it really doesn’t work, just burn it?

While General Dou was thinking about the possibility of doing this, a soldier came running over from outside, dancing with excitement.

"General, General, General Gu and Young Master Song are awake!"

General Dou jumped up and asked, "Really? Are they both awake?"

"Really, seriously, everyone is awake, everyone is awake."

"Okay, okay!" General Dou was so happy that he didn't know what to say. After turning around a few times, he hurriedly gave the order:

"Hurry up and serve the soup and porridge that have been simmering in the kitchen. They must be hungry after sleeping for so many days."

The soldiers received the order and left in a hurry. General Dou came to the back wing alone on a crutch.

In the room, Gu Fengyue and Song Chunlin sat on opposite ends of the bed. Song Chunlin's face was still hazy from just waking up. He propped up his head and watched the doctor who came after hearing the news to examine Gu Fengyue's wound.

The doctor had treated Gu Fengyue a long time ago, and he just took a cursory look at it. Well, the needle hole was so small, and considering Gu Fengyue's physical condition, it would have healed long ago if she hadn't been poisoned. It was just that General Dou was too cautious, asking someone to see him every day, and even said that he wanted to apply medicine. The doctor rolled his eyes when he heard it.

What kind of man would use golden wound medicine on a wound as small as a needle hole? Isn't this a complete waste?

"Well, General Gu has recovered well, but he was poisoned too deeply before, and his vitality was damaged when the poison was extracted. He has rested well these days, and he just needs to eat more good foods to replenish his energy. As for this young master..." After the doctor finished examining Gu Fengyue, he turned to look at Song Chunlin. Song Chunlin was so scared by his glare that he lost his sleepiness.

The doctor looked at Song Chunlin and shook his head, which made Song Chunlin feel uneasy.

"Ahem, well, doctor, I think I'm still pretty healthy..."

"Healthy as hell!" the doctor said seriously, "You are so young and your body is not fully grown, yet you dare to overdraw your body to kill the enemy. Are all the soldiers in the city going to die? Do you have to do such a dirty thing? Just do it, don't you know the condition of your own body? I took your pulse when you were asleep, and it was weak, not much better than General Gu's." The doctor became more and more excited as he spoke, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Song Chunlin was full of disappointment.

Song Chunlin was so angry that he lowered his head and dared not to refute. Even Gu Fengyue rarely interrupted him, because in his opinion, Song Chunlin's behavior that day was indeed too impulsive. With so many Gu family soldiers in the city, couldn't they find the remaining Turks?

If we can't kill them all in one go, then try again. Sooner or later, we will catch all the hidden enemies. Why should Song Chunlin take the risk alone?

Song Chunlin was scolded by the doctor, but despite the scolding, he was very clear about the medicine he should prescribe. After reading the long list of medicines, Song Chunlin swallowed his saliva and asked in a trembling voice, "Are these for me?"

The doctor rolled his eyes at him angrily: "Who else would you feed it to? Me?"

"Ah no no no, I'll eat, I'll eat." I can't eat it, woo woo woo ~

"That's more like it. By the way, you can also take some of his supplements. Your bodies are badly depleted, so you need to replenish them, especially you..." The doctor glared at Song Chunlin again.

"You are a young boy, do you still want to have children in the future? You are ruining your body like this. Be careful that you will not be able to get pregnant in the future and be disliked by your husband's family."

Song Chunlin: “???”

General Dou: “!!!”

"You are actually a boy!!!" General Dou's voice echoed throughout the government office. Soon, the news that Young Master Song was actually a boy spread throughout the Gu family army.

When many people heard the news, they were not surprised at all.

"I thought so. No wonder General Gu almost tied her up with his belt. It turns out she is really his child bride."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Can't it be that people are impressed by Young Master Song's ability? If it were me, I would tie it to my belt and show off everywhere."

"He's still Young Master Song. You should call him Brother Song."

"Go to hell, I'm going to call him Young Master."

"That's right, you guys are a bunch of sour chickens. You can't even beat a little brother."

……

After seeing off the indignant doctor and comforting the frightened General Dou, Gu Fengyue finally got some time alone with Song Chunlin.

Looking at Song Chunlin, who was curled up in the corner of the bed like a quail, Gu Fengyue said calmly: "Come here."

Song Chunlin looked up and glanced at him. Seeing that his expression was normal, he slowly moved over.

Unlike the rebuke he had imagined, Gu Fengyue did not scold him. Instead, she gently touched his head and asked, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Song Chunlin shook his head with red eyes: "It's not uncomfortable."

Of course Gu Fengyue knew that he was not feeling uncomfortable now. In fact, what he wanted to ask most was whether it would be uncomfortable when the poison was being removed from him.

"Don't do this next time. Don't you have spiritual spring water? How can you make yourself so miserable?"

Song Chunlin continued to shake his head: "No, if there is a next time, I...I will still save you."

Gu Fengyue's heart was moved, and she asked softly, "Why? Am I important to you?"

Song Chunlin thought, is he an important person to him?

Looking at Gu Fengyue in front of him with some confusion, he still had a sick look on his face. Song Chunlin didn't understand why he felt uncomfortable when he saw him feeling uncomfortable. He hesitated for a while and did not answer Gu Fengyue, but asked him instead:

"Is it not important? Are you not important to me?"

When Gu Fengyue heard his question, he suddenly laughed. He stood up and hugged her gently.

"Well, it doesn't matter. It's you. You are very important to me."

Song Chunlin was frightened by his actions and his eyes widened slightly. They had been two lifetimes, and it wasn't like he really didn't understand, so was Gu Fengyue confessing to him now?

No, wait a minute. Song Chunlin pushed Gu Fengyue away. He was shocked and said, "I'm not even thirteen years old, Gu Fengyue. Are you so hungry that you won't choose what to eat?"

Gu Fengyue's face darkened when she heard his description: "Am I this kind of person in your mind?"

Song Chunlin was a little incoherent: "Well, but, I'm still a child!" Of course, his mental age is already in his thirties.

But Gu Fengyue didn't care: "You are already thirteen years old. In our place, you are old enough to discuss marriage. Have you forgotten that your elder brother got married at sixteen? You are only three years younger than your brother."

Song Chunlin didn't want to believe it. He buried his head in the quilt, trying to escape reality.

"I don't care. I'm still a child. In my world, I'd only be in middle school at my age. How dare you have feelings for a middle school student? You're shameless!"

Gu Fengyue was speechless. Although he didn't understand what "junior high school" meant, he knew that Song Chunlin was not a good person at the moment, so he could only try his best to dig the person out from under the quilt.

"Listen, Chunlin, you are in my world now. For me, it is normal to be attracted to a thirteen-year-old boy. If you don't want to, I won't force you. But Chunlin, ask yourself, am I really an insignificant person in your heart?"

Song Chunlin sat on the bed, panting. In fact, he knew in his heart that it was normal for teenagers to get married and have children in ancient times. However, he still had modern thinking and believed that he was still a child. Getting married and having children was a very distant thing.

But when Gu Fengyue asked herself what position he occupied in her heart, Song Chunlin could not answer.

In two lifetimes, he is an older single man, and he has never been in a relationship for more than 30 years in total. Who knows what he feels towards Gu Fengyue.

If you ask him whether it is important or not, then maybe, probably, it is important, right?

Song Chunlin was still confused. Gu Fengyue didn't want to push him too much, so she just helped him tidy up his clothes, got out of bed, opened the door and prepared to get some food for the two of them. He had been awake for a long time but still hadn't eaten or drunk anything.

But when I opened the door, I saw a tray on the ground with prepared rice porridge and soup on it.

Song Chunlin seemed to smell something, and he came over like a puppy.

"What's delicious?"

"Greedy cat, go back and sit down."

"Oh." Song Chunlin sat down on the chair obediently. You know what, he was really hungry after not eating for three days. The two of them drank up all the rice porridge and chicken soup prepared by General Dou like a whirlwind. Still not full, Song Chunlin took out another bottle of spiritual spring water from the space, drank half of it himself, and then handed it to Gu Fengyue naturally.

Watching Gu Fengyue gulp down the remaining half bottle of his drink, Song Chunlin realized belatedly that it seemed like Gu Fengyue often ate his leftovers.

In the past, when he didn't understand the other person's feelings, he just thought that they had a brotherly relationship, and that the elder brother doted on his younger brother, just like Gu Fengyue doted on his elder brother. Didn't he often eat the leftovers of Gu Fengyun?

But ever since Gu Fengyue expressed her feelings to me, I felt a little weird when I saw him eating my leftovers.

Song Chunlin swallowed his saliva and said stupidly: "I drank that."

Gu Fengyue nodded and handed the empty bottle to him, meaning, I've finished it, you keep it.

Song Chunlin took the bottle blankly and threw it into the space subconsciously.

As he threw the bottle in, a tiny person appeared out of thin air on his shoulder, wearing cute pumpkin pants and clothes sewn together from a piece of rags.

Gu Fengyue looked at his attire: "..."

Song Chunlin lowered his head and saw the rag slipping off Dabao's shoulder. His face had the same frown as Gu Fengyue's.

"Dabao!"

"Here!" Dabao stood at attention on the table with his head tilted, looking so cute.

"..." Song Chunlin held his forehead with his hand, not knowing what to say.

"Is this little thing also in your space?" Gu Fengyue lowered her head curiously and gently poked Dabao's butt with her finger. Maybe she didn't control the strength well, and the little guy fell down after one push.

"Ouch, be gentle!" Dabao couldn't help complaining. He rubbed his butt and simply sat cross-legged on the ground.

Song Chunlin asked him, "Why did you come out? Aren't you afraid of being seen?"

Dabao looked at me like a fool and said, "I am little, not stupid. Of course I would only run out if there was no one around."

Song Chunlin silently pointed at Gu Fengyue, meaning, isn't this a human?

Dabao glanced at Gu Fengyue and said indifferently, "Isn't this your mistress? If you are not afraid, why should I be afraid? If he dares to leak it, I will help you poison him to death."

Gu Fengyue: “…”

Song Chunlin: “…”

"Come on, stop talking nonsense. Have you been watching over us these days?"

Dabao groaned and put his hands on his hips, "That's right. I've been exhausted these past few days. You two slept so soundly that your mouths wouldn't open. I had to avoid the people who took care of you and secretly feed you spiritual spring water. Otherwise, you would have been too hungry to get up. Do you think it's easy for me?"

Gu Fengyue said seriously: "He is still a chatterbox?"

Song Chunlin was ashamed: "Well, he wasn't talkative before, maybe no one talked to him these days, so he got bored."

When Dabao saw the two people teasing him, he screamed angrily, and finally he went back to his space with his butt up, and decided to ignore his owner for a month.

But the world outside is so fun, Dabao struggled and finally shortened a month to a week. Well, Dabao ignored his owner for a week!
