1970s: Hot wife accompanies the army, cold-faced rough man is not easy to tease

Chapter 22 You are back
The young eagle owl does not look like an eagle at all. It is round and furry, like a hairy kiwi fruit.

The one in front of me is even more miserable.

Its left wing was injured, with only a few feathers left. Its eyelids were trembling weakly, and it wanted to open them but couldn't. There was a cut on its forehead by something, which had formed a blood scab and was then torn apart by the creature.

Sensing someone approaching, it struggled hard, but despite its best efforts, it couldn't lift its wings, and its cries became weaker and weaker.

Eaglets usually leave their parents after a full month, and this injured chick is obviously less than a month old.

Lu Youyou touched its belly, which was very shriveled. It must have not eaten for a long time. Although its fur was fluffy, it was obvious that the little guy was pitifully thin when he touched it.

There is probably only one reason for this situation - it was abandoned.

Zhao Wan was timid and couldn't bear to look at it again after just one glance.

Li Sanhua had no choice but to look at Lu Youyou and ask, "Sister, can you save it?"

Lu Youyou hummed.

Li Sanhua was secretly amazed. She could save pigs and birds, and she also knew about Chinese medicine. She must be so lucky.

I saw Lu Youyou fold a nest with banana leaves and carefully put the eaglet in it.

She performed a simple palpation and found that except for a minor fracture on the injured wing, the rest of the injuries were just superficial.

Perhaps because she had saved too many animals in her previous life, Lu Youyou seemed to have more affinity, and the little guy gradually calmed down under her comfort.

A simple fix was made on the bird's wings, but it still needed to be kept stable. Lu Youyou raised his arms all the way and gritted his teeth with exhaustion.

Li Sanhua wanted to help, but she didn't dare to take over casually, for fear that she would make the injury worse if she was not careful.

"It's here!"

Li Sanhua was extremely excited when she finally saw the gate of the family compound.

Being able to save a life, and being one of the witnesses, she can be considered to have contributed to a good cause.

As for whether he can be saved?
She has an inexplicable confidence in Lu Youyou.

Li Sanhua didn't even stop when passing by her own yard, and "escorted" Lu Youyou all the way home.

The three of them were so focused on the bird that they didn't notice that the compound was much busier than in the previous few days.

Lu Youyou suddenly smelled the scent of Chinese medicine, and the source seemed to be just opposite her house.

Zhao Wan suddenly stopped, her face turned pale, and her steps became smaller and smaller, as if her whole body was resisting.

At this time, the courtyard gate opened and an old woman came out. Suddenly seeing Zhao Wan, she frowned and spoke.

"Where have you been? I told you not to run around. What if you delay taking your medicine?"

The old woman's voice was as rigid as her appearance, her headscarf was wrapped meticulously, and the "川" character between her eyebrows was deeper than her nasolabial folds.

Before Lu Youyou could recognize all the neighbors, Li Sanhua gently reminded her that this was Zhao Wan's mother-in-law.

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Zhao Wan's voice became much stiffer.

"Mom, I went up the mountain and picked some mushrooms. I wanted to add them to my dinner."

The old woman's expression was still as cold, and even had a hint of accusation in it.

"Which is more important, mushrooms or your health? What if I get tired or sick, won't the medicinal benefits be wasted? If this goes on, when will I..."

"mother!"

Zhao Wan suddenly interrupted, but her courage only lasted for a second.

She took a deep breath, forced a smile, said goodbye to Li Sanhua and Lu Youyou, turned around and walked towards the opposite side with a stiff back.

Li Sanhua began to sigh again, but she had never sighed as much in the past few days as she had this afternoon.

"Hey, go back. Zhao Wan... Hey, you'll know after a while!"

If someone else only listened to one sentence, they would definitely not be able to sleep, but Lu Youyou was an exception.

She had no intention of asking any questions and said goodbye to Li Sanhua with a smile.

However, Li Sanhua felt that Lu Youyou was steady and reliable, and he became more eager to poach her.

Lu Youyou turned around and was about to take the key when she saw that the lock on the gate was gone.

She was confused for a moment, and her first thought was that there was a thief in the house.

Before she could think about it, the gate opened from the inside.

"Gu, Gu Qingye?" Lu Youyou's breathing stagnated and she stood there in a daze for a few seconds.

Gu Qingye was very tall, and she was completely enveloped in his shadow.

It was not until this time that she felt a little sense of reality. It turned out that she already had a fiancé and they would live together in the future.

"You're back..."

Lu Youyou suddenly didn't know what expression to make.

She thought she had accepted it well, but now, when the two of them stood face to face in their future "home", Lu Youyou felt like she had no place to put her hands and feet.

Gu Qingye's gaze fell on her, first the backpack, then the injured bird.

He stretched out his hand, and Lu Youyou subconsciously took a step back. Seeing the surprise in the man's eyes, she realized that he wanted to take the thing in her hand.

Lu Youyou smiled awkwardly and handed over the simple bird's nest: "Be careful, it's broken."

Gu Qingye held the bird's nest in one hand, while the other hand was still raised.

Lu Youyou then remembered that she was still carrying a large frame and was anxious to take it off. Suddenly, she grinned and hissed.

"careful!"

The man who was in front of her just now appeared behind her in the blink of an eye.

Lu Youyou subconsciously turned around and saw Gu Qingye holding the backpack with one hand, and he immediately felt no more weight on his shoulders.

"You went up the mountain?"

"Yes, I went there with Sister Li and Sister Zhao across the street."

Lu Youyou rubbed his shoulders and felt terrible pain.

With a topic to talk about, Lu Youyou felt less embarrassed. She followed Gu Qingye into the house and was shocked to find that the house had changed.

"I saw the picture you drew and rearranged it according to it. Do you think it's okay?"

Lu Youyou had no idea of ​​this.

She was just bored after lunch and felt that the arrangement of the furniture was not to her liking, so she drew a picture. She couldn't move it by herself and didn't want to trouble others, so she put it aside after drawing it.

He didn't expect to be seen by Gu Qingye, and he managed to complete the task before she came back.

Lu Youyou felt mixed emotions.

It seemed that everything she saw reminded her that this would be their home in the future.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to, but after all, she has never lived with a stranger in her two lives.

Lu Youyou was a little dazed and could only change the subject.

"Um, when did you come back?"

"Two hours ago."

Gu Qingye lowered his eyes, and seeing that Lu Youyou was uncomfortable, he turned his dark eyes away.

In fact, he still had many questions to ask her.

Was she injured by the robbers on the train? And the book on the table that she had just started, "Animal Disease Nursing"...

The faint cry of the eagle's young woke up Lu Youyou's confused mind, and she finally remembered that there was a patient at home.

She trotted into the house and took out a medicine box filled with bottles and jars.

The first thing she did after moving was to organize these things. She didn't have the confidence to perform magic under the scout's nose, so she could only prepare all the props in advance.

Gu Qingye saw a familiar porcelain vase. He had one in his dormitory.

The effect of the medicine last time was exactly as Lu Youyou said, and it was even better than some special medicines.

Lu Youyou tried her best to ignore the discomfort of having so many people around her and focused her attention on her hands.

She skillfully applied medicine and bandaged the eaglet, and poured it a dish of clean water.

However, the familiar smell of medicine evoked Lu Youyou's memory.

She suddenly looked up and her eyes began to wander over Gu Qingye.
