In late August, the stab wound on my back was gradually getting better. Apart from the frequent itching of the wound, I could now walk and eat with ease.

The medical center where it was placed is located in a relatively secluded corner in the west of Chengdu. The Huaxia Army calls it a "health center." According to the aunt taking care of it, it may be "adjusted" in the future. Perhaps because of the location,

There were not many sick and injured people coming here every day, so Qu Longjun quietly visited a few of them when it was easy to move.

The small hospital where she lives is full of female patients. Occasionally, patients from the two rooms next door come to rest and take medicine, but none of them are as seriously injured as she is. Some local residents are not used to treating women at home.

He was kept in such a strange place to recuperate, so he often took the medicine and went back.

Qu Longjun no longer had such worries.

After staying here for a month, Qu Longjun was confused and scared at first, and then gradually became calmer. Although she didn't know what the Huaxia Army wanted to do with her in the end, after a month, she was able to

She felt that the people in the health center did not mean any harm to her.

Most of the time, she only came into contact with two people here.

Aunt Gu, who manages the health center, is fat and seems kind, but from her words, Qu Longjun can tell that she is calm and not simple. In some clues in her words, Qu Longjun can even hear that she has been

She was a woman who had gone to the battlefield with a sword. In the past, Qu Longjun had only heard of this type of character in dramas.

In addition to Aunt Gu, who takes care of her more because she is a woman, there is also the young doctor Long Aotian, who always looks cold. Although this young doctor with strong martial arts skills kills people profusely, he is also a bit unsmiling on weekdays.

, but after getting along for a long time, she let go of her initial fear and could feel the goodwill of the other party. At least she soon understood that after the fight in the early morning of July 21st, it was the little doctor who took action.

After saving her, he seemed to have some connections, so he came over every day to deliver meals to her and care about whether her physical condition had improved.

The book "Women Also Hold Up Half the Sky" seems to have been a gift from him. Later, there were several books teaching people how to weave and make money, and how to run small businesses to make money.

She had been raised as a thin horse since she was a child, and she had made uneasy speculations in private, such as whether the little murderer had taken a liking to her because they were similar in age. Although he was cold and scary, he actually looked real.

It's pretty cool, but I don't know if I'll get beaten...

As for another possibility, the Huaxia Army was prepared to let her recover from her injuries before forcing her to work as a spy elsewhere. If so, it could explain why the little doctor came to check on her injuries every day.

These two thoughts were pressed deep in my heart, and I couldn't be sure for a while. I only thought about them occasionally and felt uneasy.

On August 24th, I had my last consultation, and in the last conversation, I mentioned that my partner’s brother was getting married.

After leaving the room, the young doctor walking in the yard turned back and glanced at the door here. At his age, it was difficult for him to make a detailed analysis of some hazy emotions. Naturally, the girl in the room did not pay attention.

Up to this point, it was just a simple afternoon for her.

On August 25, the young doctor did not come.

On the twenty-sixth day, Aunt Gu brought a small package to the room.

"Here are some things I want to pass on to you."

Aunt Gu said, and then she took out some banknotes and land deeds from the package. Qu Longjun recognized some of them as belonging to Wen Shoubin. Her identity deed was sandwiched among these documents, and Aunt Gu took them out.

It was torn off easily.

"It's wrong to say that your adoptive father, Wen Shoubin, entered Chengdu City to plot evil. However, an investigation was conducted here and it turns out that he did not do any serious evil after all... He failed to do what he wanted to do, and then he died.

Yes. Some of the things he brought to Chengdu were originally intended to be confiscated, but Xiaolong filed a complaint with you. Even though he is dead, you are still his daughter in name. These properties should be inherited by you... Appeal

It took a lot of time, Xiaolong has been running around these days, here, I brought them all for you."

Although Wen Shoubin is not a wealthy man in the outside world, he has been dealing with wealthy households and selling women for many years, and has accumulated considerable wealth. Not to mention the land deed in the package, which is just a gold and silver note worth hundreds of taels.

For an ordinary person, it is considered a wealth that can be used for half a lifetime. Qu Longjun's mind buzzed, and he stretched out his hand, but it was really difficult to understand this matter.

"This is..." Qu Longjun stretched out his hand, "Dr. Long gave it to me?"

"It's your adoptive father's inheritance." Aunt Gu said.

"But……"

Her mind was in a mess and she didn't understand why. She had been prepared for many people to covet him. The best outcome was that the young doctor of the Long family fell in love with her, and the worse outcome was naturally

She had not thought carefully about the worse consequences of letting her become a spy. However, why were all these things given to her?

She thought confusedly for a moment, then raised her head and said, "...Where's Dr. Xiaolong? Why didn't he come to give it to me? I...want to thank him..."

"Xiaolong." Aunt Gu sighed, "He left yesterday. Didn't he say goodbye to you the afternoon before yesterday?"

"...He said his brother is getting married."

"Well, it's about getting married. He rushed back yesterday. After getting married, he still has to go to school. After all, he is not very old and his family doesn't allow him to run around. So I was asked to hand over this thing. There should be some

I won’t be coming to Chengdu for a while.”

"Studying..." Qu Longjun repeated, after a moment, "But... why?"

"what why?"

"You...Huaxia Army...what do you want to do with me? After all, I...came here with Wen Shoubin to cause trouble. You...this is..."

Her words were confused and tears fell unconsciously. She had been holding these words in her heart for the past month and could only speak them out now. Aunt Gu sat down next to her and patted her palm.

"You didn't do anything bad. How could you control yourself at such a young age? It's a good thing now. You'll be free in the future. Don't cry."

"Then I have to leave in the future..."

"Go... wherever you want to go, you can make your own arrangements." Aunt Gu smiled, "But your injury is not completely healed yet. You can think carefully about the future. Whether you stay in Chengdu or go to

In other places, it is up to you to make the decision yourself, and no one will restrain you like Wen Shoubin did..."

Qu Longjun sat there, tears falling continuously. Aunt Gu comforted her for a while, and then left the room.

It's like a strange sea rushing in from all directions.

She only felt unfamiliar with the words "free" that Aunt Gu said, and she was so light that she couldn't grasp the weight. Although she was only sixteen years old, she had been living under the control of others since she could remember.

Father and mother, after their parents died, it was Wen Shoubin. In the past trajectory, if one day she was sold, the person who controlled her life would be the beloved who bought her.

Maybe he will still live dependent on his heirs - everyone lives like this, and there is nothing wrong with it.

When Wen Shoubin died, I felt scared at first, but then, I just fell into the hands of the Black Flag Army. When you understand that there is not much room for resistance in life, even the fear will fade away. The people of the Huaxia Army

Whether she is attracted to her, wants to do something to her, or wants to use her for something, she can clearly understand it. In fact, it is most difficult for her to resist.

But...free?

She thought of the cold-faced Dr. Xiaolong. In the early morning of July 21st, he saved her and healed her injury... In a month, they didn't even say a few words, and now he...

…left already……

……Why?

There were several books on the cabinet in the ward, as well as the package of notes and money. Some of the intangible things that were attached to her had left her at some point. She felt a little bit confused about this world.

Can't understand.

She thought of her dead father and mother.

Sometimes I also think of some memories of July 21st, and I think of the vague words that Doctor Long said.

"...little bitch, you look like a dead fish..."

Have we met before?

Why am I a little bitch?

We haven't met, have we?

Why are you scolding me...

These doubts were hidden in her heart, accumulating layer by layer. And more unfamiliar emotions also came up in her heart. She touched the bed, touched the table, sometimes walked out of the room, and touched the door frame, all of which were strange and sensitive.

When I think about the past and the future, I feel strange...

I didn't know how many times I cried in the room that night, and I gradually fell asleep at dawn. Two more days passed, and Aunt Gu only called her during dinner, but the young doctor never came. She thought of Aunt Gu.

I mean, I'll probably never see you again.

On August 29th, perhaps because she had been bored in the yard for too long, Aunt Gu took her out shopping, and Qu Longjun also agreed.

Since arriving in Chengdu, Qu Longjun has been locked up in that small courtyard and only goes out a handful of times. Only when he takes a closer look around can he feel the vitality of the southwest streets. He has not experienced much here.

In the flames of war, the Chinese army once again defeated the menacing Jurchen invaders. In July, a large number of outsiders entered, saying that they wanted to give the Chinese army a show of strength, but in the end they were taken care of by the Chinese army and were submissive. All of this was

Happened in front of everyone.

In August, the trial and execution of Jurchen captives at the military parade made countless onlookers excited. After that, the Huaxia Army held its first congress and announced the establishment of the Huaxia People's Government. A martial arts competition took place in the city.

It also began to reach its climax, and then the conscription was opened, attracting countless enthusiastic men to join the army. It is said that many businesses with the outside world were also finalized... By the end of August, this energetic atmosphere was still continuing. This was Qu Longjun's first appearance in the outside world.

An unseen scene.

But at the present moment, she was not in much mood to feel everything at the moment.

"Aunt Gu." Qu Longjun asked her when walking on the street somewhere: "Doctor Xiaolong...is he actually a descendant of a prominent family in the Chinese army?"

Aunt Gu looked at him with a smile: "What's wrong? Do you like Xiaolong?"

Qu Longjun smiled sheepishly: "No, but if I think about it carefully in the past two days, he can accomplish so many things. In the Chinese army, he must be more than just a small military doctor."

In the past few days, I had just resigned myself to the situation, so I did not delve into many details. My mind became more active in the past two days, and when I look back, I can find all kinds of unusual things. No matter what, I followed Wen Shoubin to cause chaos.

The bad guy, he is a little military doctor, how can he say that he will not pursue the case if he does not want to pursue it? Moreover, those land deeds and silver notes seem simple, and they add up to a huge amount of wealth. Even if the Huaxia Army is reasonable, he will not let himself be so readily

The "adopted daughter" inherits the inheritance.
