Chapter 118: Little Ye Zi

A certain army unit thousands of miles away.

Army Commander Ning opened his eyes, saw the guard sitting on the stool dozing off, he didn't disturb the person, sat up and poured water to drink.

The guard didn't sleep soundly, the chief moved, he woke up, hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Why didn't you call me when the chief woke up."

Army Commander Ning's majestic face showed helplessness, didn't argue with the guard, drank a mouthful of water, and asked: "What happened to me?"

The guard scratched his head, "This afternoon you suddenly covered your heart, shouted something like Mao, and then fainted. The doctor looked at you, didn't find any problems, guessed it was related to the memory you are recovering, said you'd be fine after resting for two days."

Army Commander Ning sat up, nodded lightly.

Outside the window was an old tree that seemed to have added a filter, the sunset glow slanted on the window, sprinkling mottled light and shadow.

"What did Sun Guoshou say?"

The guard knew the chief was anxious, said: "Sun Guoshou said after three more acupuncture sessions, the blood stasis in your brain will be able to disperse, and if the blood stasis disperses, you have hope of recovering your memory."

"Can the next acupuncture be arranged as soon as possible?" Army Commander Ning was very anxious, he vaguely felt that there were very important people waiting for him to go home. That heart pain this afternoon, his brain also hurt in bursts, as if there was some picture squeezing out impatiently, he was really afraid that by the time he remembered, everything would be too late.

"No." The guard refused in one breath, "Sun Guoshou said the injury to the brain can't be anxious, must follow what progress, your blood stasis hasn't dispersed for many years, you must be careful."

"Not anxious won't do, call that guy, call him to me." Army Commander Ning's voice was slightly sharp.

The chief was angry, the guard couldn't handle it, didn't even dare to look at him, holding on hard.

"Calling people is fine, but you can't be willful!" The honest guard said, "Nothing is more important than your body!"

"Don't be wordy."

The guard didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, hurriedly went to call Sun Guoshou.

Sun Guoshou was a master of traditional Chinese medicine, could do a good hand of acupuncture, almost had bad luck last month, it was Army Commander Ning who protected him and brought him to the army.

Sun Guoshou regarded Army Commander Ning as a life-saving benefactor, was especially attentive to his body, and wouldn't do anything that would damage his health, adopting the most stable and conservative treatment methods.

Arriving at the ward, hearing the chief's words, he made a decisive refusal: "No, your body needs to be raised again!"

The old doctor's eyebrows were wrinkled enough to pinch a fly to death.

No doctor likes a patient who doesn't listen, if this wasn't his benefactor, he would have scolded a few times.

Army Commander Ning couldn't wait, "Don't talk nonsense, arrange it as soon as possible!"

Old man Sun wasn't afraid of him, stuck his neck, unyielding: "Can't be fast!"

Army Commander Ning glared, the momentum of decisive killing and cutting on his body flowed out, making people's hearts thump.

It was just that Sun Guoshou in front of him had seen all kinds of high-ranking people, and wasn't afraid at all.

"Don't glare, as long as I am still your attending doctor, you have to listen to me."

Army Commander Ning pinched his eyebrows lightly, relieving that headache, he sighed slightly, "I've been away from home for many years, I don't know who is still in the family, I'm afraid it's too late..."

The chief, who had always stood straight in the outside, rarely revealed fragility, Sun Guoshou was stunned.

Thinking of the things he learned about Army Commander Ning, deep in the enemy's forces for many years, forgetting everything but not forgetting his duty and mission, successfully completing the task.

Sun Guoshou felt admiration arise spontaneously in his heart, couldn't bear to see him disappointed, and couldn't help but think of a way.

"... I'll think of a way again."

Army Commander Ning's expression relaxed, solemnly said: "Trouble you, as soon as possible!"

Sun Guoshou looked at him, having a feeling of being calculated.

Looking carefully at his expression, he didn't see anything.

Should be an illusion, right?

Whether it was or not didn't matter anymore, the words had already been said.

"I'll go study and study."

After saying this, Sun Guoshou left the ward.

Army Commander Ning temporarily put his heart down, he must remember as soon as possible, pick up his family to follow the army, the outside was getting more and more chaotic, he wasn't at ease.

Pondering, the tall and majestic middle-aged man got off the hospital bed.

"Chief, are you okay? Should we observe a bit more?" The guard said uneasily.

Just thinking about the leader suddenly falling down this afternoon, he couldn't be at ease.

"What's there to observe, return to the office." Army Commander Ning took off his military jacket from the wooden coat rack and walked out with big strides.

The guard couldn't do anything about the willful leader, could only follow quickly, eyes looking firmly at the chief.

Gu Da Cai Ercai, now Yubao Hengbao, after showing off their new names in the village, seeing the sky was getting late, the sensible children didn't linger outside, but played in their own courtyard.

Lin Zhao was exhausted today, was lying on the cool mat closing her eyes to rest.

Long eyelashes blinked lightly, exposing the fact that she wasn't asleep.

"Shall I massage you?" Gu Chenghuai sat by the bed, his low voice dyed with a smile.

Lin Zhao opened her eyes abruptly, the next moment turned over, lying on the bed, "Shoulders and waist, legs also hurt."

A pair of distinct-jointed hands fell on her shoulders, kneading and rubbing unhurriedly, "Riding the bike so far, how could it not hurt."

"Is it heavy?" Gu Chenghuai asked gently.

"Just right." Lin Zhao buried her face in the pillow, her clear voice was muffled, not very big.

"I was waiting for my eldest aunt, eldest brother and second brother couldn't wait long ago, I had to go on this trip, you don't know how happy my eldest aunt was." This was answering the man's sentence.

"I know, I don't mean to blame you, just feel you are hard-working." Gu Chenghuai pressed from the shoulder to the waist, "Do you want to apply medicine oil?"

"No!" Lin Zhao refused in one breath, she had just taken a bath, didn't like sleeping stickily.

"Gu Da Cai, no, Yubao and Hengbao? Suddenly changing the address, not quite used to it."

Gu Chenghuai smiled, "You'll get used to it in a week, they are playing with Xingci and the others outside."

Hearing this name, Lin Zhao couldn't stop laughing, "Lai Mei must be very happy, he wanted to change his name long ago, finally changed it."

After the second sister-in-law gave birth to the eldest Xingye, she really wanted a daughter, who knew the second one born was still a boy, heard the second sister-in-law couldn't help crying when she learned from the midwife that it was a boy again, and took the name Lai Mei for the baby who was crying at the top of his lungs on the spot.

"Eh, I haven't had time to ask, why does the second sister-in-law like girls so much?"

Gu Chenghuai knew a little, "The second sister-in-law's maiden home is very bad, she has been treated unfairly since she was small, so she wants a daughter."

"I know, she wants to prove that daughters are just as valuable, wants to give her daughter everything she couldn't get before, is that it?" Lin Zhao tilted her head and looked at him.

Her hair was black, bright, and thick, scattered, very blocking to the eyes.

"Yes." Gu Chenghuai reached out to straighten his wife's long hair, found a rubber band and tied it loosely.

Lin Zhao moved toward the edge of the bed like a little worm, grabbed his hand, and laid her head on his solid thigh.

"How come you're like a child." Gu Chenghuai chuckled, touched her chin with his thin-calloused fingers, his deep black eyes gentle beyond belief.

Lin Zhao hummed, didn't speak.

Obviously liked her being close, what was he pretending for.

"Are you still uncomfortable?" Gu Chenghuai asked.

"Much more comfortable." Lin Zhao's eyes were full of ripples.

The couple was being affectionate, the door was pushed open, and the four cubs of the third room entered one after another.

Lin Zhao didn't move, Gu Chenghuai was even less likely to move his wife's head, they were a couple who had received a certificate, legal. He didn't look at the cubs, raised his hand to massage his wife's head.

"Finished playing?" Lin Zhao looked at the four children.

Yubao looked at his parents, his eyes worried: "Mother's head hurts?"

"A little." Lin Zhao didn't deny it, it was hot.

Seeing the worry in her eldest son's eyes, even Jianbao and Yaobao stepped forward to hammer her legs, her heart softened, and she touched the twins' little faces.

"I'll be fine tomorrow after a sleep."

Yubao felt relieved, "Then Mother sleep early today, I will take care of my younger brother and sister."

"Good." Lin Zhao's tone was doting, "Thank you Yubao."

Hearing the new address, the child was very happy.

"Mother, do you want water?" Hengbao brought water.

The son had sent it to her mouth, Lin Zhao couldn't not give him this face, got up and drank a mouthful, smiled: "The water Hengbao brought is sweet."

Hengbao smiled, remembered the business of entering the room, leaned his little head over, tilted his head slightly, "Mother, look at what the thing behind my ear looks like?"

Lin Zhao looked up, a lump of black on the child's ear, looking like it was drawn with ink, couldn't see the shape.

"Can't tell." She shook her head.

"It's so dirty. Is it drawn with a fountain pen? Did I tell you that you can't play with fountain pens casually?" Lin Zhao frowned, found a clean handkerchief, dipped it in some water and wiped his ear.

Yubao's eyes flashed with guilt.

Drawing things behind the ear was his idea.

The child pointed at his fingers, admitted his mistake in a small voice: "Mother, it was me, I drew it for my younger brother."

Xingye brother wanted to borrow his mother's fountain pen, he took the fountain pen to the courtyard, after Xingye brother used it, he used the fountain pen to write, the ink got on his hand, blurring into a small cloud, he remembered that the strange uncle at the foot of the mountain had a small leaf behind his ear, so he drew a small leaf on his younger brother's ear.

"Ah?" Lin Zhao opened her mouth slightly, "Why?"

She didn't blame the cubs, just purely curious, "Why did you draw... things behind your younger brother's ear?"

Any action of a child has a reason.

Yubao saw Mother didn't blame, smiled and hugged Lin Zhao's waist, "I saw an uncle in the thatched hut at the foot of the mountain had a small leaf behind his ear, playing around with my younger brother."

Hengbao also hugged over, testifying for his brother, "Mother, brother told me, I agreed. My brother and I were playing around, don't be angry, we won't play with fountain pens in the future."

Seeing his brothers hug over, the twins also surged up, surrounded by four children.

Gu Chenghuai had a helpless smile.

He hadn't seen children so dependent on their mother in the army, those children were wild, adults couldn't find them until mealtime.

Lin Zhao heard Yubao's words, suddenly stunned, her thinking stopped, her mind blank.

For a long time, she came back to her senses, held Yubao's face, her urgent voice almost changed tone.

"Yubao, did you really see someone with a small leaf behind their ear?"

Yubao said decisively: "Yes, I just saw it, that uncle whose foot is limping has a small leaf behind his ear."

Lin Zhao naturally believed him, but still felt dazed.

Could it be Fourth Brother?

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Yubao touched her face, his little eyebrows frowning, his eyes worried.

"Nothing, just thought of some things." Lin Zhao blurred it over.

Uncertain things, she wouldn't say. Not to mention, the group of people at the foot of the mountain had dangerous identities, and she was also afraid that the cubs would accidentally say it out and cause trouble for the family.

"It's late, go to sleep quickly, wash the ink off your ears before sleeping." Lin Zhao patted the cubs' heads, her voice gentle.

"Know it." Yubao didn't pester much, held Jianbao and Yaobao, called Hengbao, and the three cubs left the room.

Before leaving the door, Hengbao stopped, turned around, "Mother, you said you would give us gifts tomorrow, don't forget."

Lin Zhao waved at him, "Remember, won't forget."

Hengbao smiled, and closed the door by the way.

After the cubs left, only the young couple was left in the room.

Gu Chenghuai asked directly: "What's the problem with the person with the birthmark behind the ear?"

"I suspect that person might be my Fourth Brother." Lin Zhao said, holding back her excitement.

The man's brain didn't react a bit.

"Fourth Brother?"

Zhaozhao only has three biological brothers, where did the Fourth Brother come from?

The Lin family didn't mention the stolen Fourth often, Lin Zhao hadn't told her husband, it was normal for Gu Chenghuai not to know.

"My Fourth Brother and Third Brother are twins, they were stolen as soon as they were born." Lin Zhao explained slowly, "My mother said he had a small leaf birthmark behind his ear."

Gu Chenghuai raised his eyebrows, "What a coincidence, I'll check it tomorrow."

"What do you think if I ask directly?" Lin Zhao couldn't hold back her excitement.

Her parents didn't mention Fourth Brother so often, but she knew they were thinking of him, her father made clothes for them siblings, always made an extra set, her mother too, never prepared things in less than four copies.

"It's not impossible." Gu Chenghuai felt his wife's method was also fine, faster than investigation.

"This matter must be told to my eldest brother." Lin Zhao said.

Her brother was steady, handled things reliably, and was meticulous, it would definitely be fine to hand it to him.

"Don't be in a hurry to check, wait until my eldest brother asks first, if there's anything you need help with, I'll definitely find you."

Gu Chenghuai had no opinion, "Good."

That night, Lin Zhao tossed and turned and didn't sleep well, had a dream all night, dreamed she found Fourth Brother for a while, and dreamed her family never found Fourth Brother for a lifetime for a while.

Woke up the next day, a piece of black under her eyes.

Gu Chenghuai: "..."

Lin Zhao noticed his look, realized something, patted his hard honey-

"No matter what you're like, I won't mind," Gu Chenghuai said, kissing her as he spoke.

Lin Zhao beamed, wanting to linger in bed a while longer, but she collapsed back onto the bed.

The man rubbed the top of her head, then got out of bed; his sturdy chest and abdominal muscles, along with his straight, powerful long legs, gave one an exceptional sense of security.

Gu Chenghuai opened the wardrobe, found the new undershirt his wife had made for him, and raised his arms to put it on.

"Sleep a little longer. When you wake up, I'll go draw some well water, dampen a towel, and give your eyes a cold compress."

Lin Zhao raised her lips, "Okay."

Gu Chenghuai left the room and went to the main room to call the twins.

Yubao and Hengbao had been trained to be very self-disciplined; they woke up as soon as the time came, obediently put on their clothes, and stepped out on tiptoe to exercise with their father.

By the time Lin Zhao got up, the children's father had already returned with the children.

Gu Chenghuai had drawn well water; the well water was icy cold, and the towel was also cold after being dampened, so Lin Zhao slowly applied it to her eyes.

"Yubao, help Mother go to the new house and call your eldest uncle; just say Mother has something to discuss with him."
