As soon as Jiangmen Jiaojiao opened her eyes, she was paranoid that the prince had come to steal her

The wind rustled the leaves outside the window.

Shalan couldn't hear it, recalling the past bits and pieces.

After traveling all day, her body was exhausted. She only sat for a while and became exhausted. She felt sleepy, so she undressed and fell asleep under the care of the doctor's wife.

Early the next morning, while Shalan was sleeping drowsily, she heard the doctor's wife whispering happily, "Bamboo willow? Why is there bamboo willow here!"

Shalan opened her eyes and stared at the gray bed tent for a long time before coming back to her senses. She was no longer in Baojing Villa now.

She arrived in Yaocheng last night and slept in Xie Changqing's barracks.

"Bamboo willow?" Shalan murmured, sitting up hugging the snow-white, fluffy blanket, "What bamboo willow?"

"It's Bamboo Willow!"

The doctor's wife was very excited. She ran into the room from the outside, sat down beside Shalan's bed, pointed in the direction of the window and said, "There, there is a bamboo willow planted in the yard."

Shalan was startled and opened the blanket.

The doctor's wife quickly got her shoes and clothes.

After Shalan finished dressing, she walked to the window, pushed open the half-opened dress and walked out. Sure enough, she saw a bamboo willow that was straight and green, with thin and long leaves. It was even more beautiful than the bamboo willows growing on the island. many.

It was already too late when Shallan arrived last night.

She was disappointed again. She heard Xie Changqing chattering in her mind and didn't even pay attention to the things in the yard.

At this time, looking at the tall, thin and green bamboo willows, Shalan felt in a trance.

When she was twelve years old, she secretly went to Danzhou to seek a solution to the piracy incident.

In recent years, she has spent far more time on land than on the island.

But she will always miss the place where she grew up.

I remember my mother-in-law holding her in her arms and sitting under the rows of bamboo willows, singing and telling stories.

Every time he returned to the island and left for a few days, he would take a bamboo and willow seedling with him, and then return to the mainland of Danzhou to plant it in the place where he stayed temporarily.

But there are so many bamboo and willow trees, but none of them has ever survived.

Obviously some have taken root and grown, but they will always break unexpectedly.

By the time Yao was in the camp, his country was ruined and his family was ruined.

The last bamboo willow seedling was picked up on the beach. I wonder if it drifted here along the waves from the island.

She casually inserted herself into Xie Changqing's courtyard, and now she looks like this.

The breeze blew, and a slender leaf fell from the treetop and flew towards the window.

Shallan raised her hand and caught the leaf.

The sun had already risen high at this time, and the sunlight shone on the slender leaves of the bamboo willow. It also shone through Shalan's slender fingers, and shone on her face and long brown hair.

There was a slight smile on Shalan's lips, which was more beautiful than the late spring sunshine.

The soldiers who came in were stunned on the spot, and the bucket in their hands fell to the ground with a "dong" sound, "Immortal, immortal, immortal..."

The smile on Shalan's face faded, she pinched the leaves of the bamboo willow and looked at the soldiers.

The soldier was still young, and his expression became duller this time.

The doctor's wife has been with Shalan since she was a child. She has long been accustomed to the various situations that Shalan's beauty can cause. She coughed and said, "Young man, the bucket fell."

The soldier came to his senses in a panic, picked up the bucket with all his hands, and ran out quickly without looking at Shalan.

After a while, he came in again carrying a bucket of water.

Shalan looked at his flushed face, poured the water in the bucket into the bamboo willow pond, then picked up a pair of scissors to trim the branches and leaves of the bamboo willow, her eyes moved slightly, "Are you taking care of this?" A tree?"

"Yes, yes."

The young soldier smiled naively and said: "I have been taking care of it for a long time. Years ago, years ago, Vice General Lei asked me and Uncle Qian to take care of this tree. We don't need to do anything else."

"The tree grew crooked at that time." The soldier was impressed by Shalan's beauty. Even though she didn't ask many questions, he just felt that he could say a few more words.

He could tell that Shallan was interested in what happened with the tree.

"I heard that the general asked him to pull it out at first, but Lieutenant General Lei said that the general was duplicitous, so he definitely wouldn't pull it out. He had to nurse it back."

"Sure enough, we had just arrived and before we could move, the general came back with a very ugly face and asked us to return to the original position immediately... Later, Vice General Lei explained that he wanted to re-embark."

"The general returned to his room without saying a word... After that we turned the ground, made the pool bigger, and replaced some soil..."

"Actually, this tree is very easy to maintain. As long as you water it regularly, loosen the soil well, and take good care of it, it will grow well."

"We took care of it for a few months, and now it's getting taller and taller..."

Xiaobing was still chattering, talking about how to take care of, how to prune, and how to care for this sapling.

Shalan was staring at the bamboo willow tree, her mind already flying far away.

Yes.

Living in Bamboo Willow is actually not difficult, but it was always so unlucky in the past.

After a moment, Shalan lowered her head: "You go ahead and do your business."

Xiao Bing, who was talking endlessly, quickly stopped, wondering if he had talked too much and made the beautiful girl unhappy. He did not dare to say any more and went to prune the branches and leaves quietly.

The doctor's wife came in with water, "There is a whole wall of green vines on the south wall, but they haven't bloomed yet. Have they been there before?"

"No."

Shalan shook her head, "Probably not... maybe Xie Changqing likes to look at flowers and grass now?"

Shalan said this with a smile on her beautiful face.

Only she knows the joy in her heart.

After the doctor's wife dressed up Shalan, Shalan ate some breakfast in the camp and then went to the yard to see the beautiful bamboo willows and the green vines the doctor's wife mentioned.

A whole wall indeed.

It can be seen that it was done recently. There are many flower buds growing on the vines, but they are not in full bloom yet.

One of the buds is about to bloom.

Shalan gathered up her long skirt, squatted down and stared at it for a while, then raised her hand and plucked the bud with her slender fingers, bit by bit.

The flower gradually bloomed under Shalan's thumb.

Shallan stared at the flower and thought, before long, the whole wall will be covered with flowers.

She had just looked carefully and saw that the buds on the green vines here were of various colors, and they would be colorful and beautiful.

"General!"

A neat and solemn shout came from outside the hospital, accompanied by a series of footsteps.

Shalan was startled and stood up holding her knees.

When she turned back, she saw Xie Changqing entering the barracks courtyard door.

Xie Changqing's face looked a little haggard. He stopped walking when his eyes met Shalan's, and there was joy in his deep eyes.

Shalan walked towards him, stood on tiptoes and kissed his chin, then wrapped her arms around Xie Changqing's waist and pressed her cheek against Xie Changqing's body, "Xie Changqing, I miss you so much, so I'm here."

"You said what you said always counts, but when you said you would visit me in half a month, it didn't count."

"You're not that true to your word."

"Something's wrong." Xie Changqing hugged Shalan with great affection, lowered his head and smelled the fragrance of her hair, and said in a rough voice, "I'm sorry."

Just as Sha Lan was about to say something, she suddenly felt her palms were wet. She pulled her hand away and looked at it, her face slightly changed, "Xie Changqing, are you injured?!"

There was a bright red blood in her white palm. (End of chapter)
