“Aiya, Mr. Xu already said that my body is fine. It’s repairing itself!”
“You’re worrying for nothing!” Lin Xiaoyue said.
She did not want to stay at home all day anymore.
“In any case, you’re only allowed to go out the day after tomorrow at the earliest.” Li Xiao said.
Seeing his wife’s face turn sour, Li Xiao’s expression changed slightly and he said, “or, if you’re bored, you can come with me to the Liu residence and the pier.”
There were still many injured soldiers recuperating in the Liu residence. He should have gone to take a look earlier.
Also, he had Xiao Yang and Fan Teng take turns to look after the dock. He didn’t know the situation there.
“Alright then.” Lin Xiaoyue nodded helplessly.
Although she couldn’t go to the Zhou manor, compared to staying at home, going to Qingshi Town for a stroll was still better.
Moreover, as the mistress of the Nangong Army, she should also take care of the wounded.
After breakfast, the couple set off with Mr. Xu to Qingshi Town.
Liu Manor.
The three of them entered and found Head Fang and Xiao Yang there.
Lin Xiaoyue asked about the situation and found out that there were eighty-four seriously injured people in the Liu residence.
However, after Mr. Xu’s treatment, there were only thirty-eight injured people left who were bedridden.
Of course, those who had recovered still needed to change their bandages and did not leave the Liu residence.
Instead, he stayed behind to take care of the seriously injured. While recuperating, they took care of their comrades who were more injured.
“If you’re injured, you should rest well. How can you continue to work?”
“Don’t we have more people at the manor? Can’t we just arrange for some people to come over and take care of them?” Lin Xiaoyue asked Head Fang.
“This was indeed the arrangement previously. But…the soldiers didn’t agree.” Head Fang carefully glanced at Lin Xiaoyue.
“They said that the manor is in need of manpower now, so we should let the uninjured soldiers go to the manor to help.”
“As for those injured people, they have nothing to do. Taking care of their more seriously injured brothers can be considered as helping out.”
Lin Xiaoyue thought about it.
“After the Lantern Festival, more of them will return. Each manor is rapidly increasing their manpower, but now that the chili seeds are planted, it would not be long before they have to be transplanted. Now, the manors are indeed lacking manpower to plow the fields.”
“S0…I agreed.” Head Fang explained.
“Since they have nothing to do, letting the lightly injured take care of the seriously injured can be considered as giving them something to do. It made them realize that even if they were injured, they were still working for the Nangong Army and their masters.”
“In the past, when we were at the border, when we didn’t have enough manpower, we did the same. Don’t worry, Mistress.”
Li Xiao also nodded at Lin Xiaoyue.
Lin Xiaoyue finally agreed.
“We should adjust the food a little. Make sure that there will be meat at every meal so that everyone will be full. The injured need nutrition the most.”
“Yes, Miss!” Head Fang quickly agreed.
Then, he brought the few of them into the first large room where the injured were staying.
As soon as the door opened, Lin Xiaoyue saw seven or eight injured people lying on the bed.
Beside them, there were also some who were wrapped in bandages. Those who were in a better condition were taking care of the seriously injured patients on the bed.
As soon as Lin Xiaoyue and the others appeared, the moans in the room disappeared.
Everyone looked at the door and then quickly focused their eyes on Lin Xiaoyue.
Then, she quickly moved away.
“Greetings, General and Madam!” A soldier with his arms hanging down bowed to Li Xiao and Lin Xiaoyue.
“Greetings, General and Madam!” The others quickly followed suit.
Those who were lying on the bed with serious injuries even wanted to get up and salute.
Lin Xiaoyue’s expression changed slightly and she quickly spoke.
“Don’t get up! No need to be so polite, you guys should rest!”
Someone was delighted. “Thank you, Madam!”
When she replied, her voice was filled with joy.
They also saw Madam!
Just as the others had described, she looked like a fairy.
Moreover, not only was she beautiful, but she also treated them well.
Having such a mistress was a blessing to their general and the Nangong Army.
She looked at the injured. They were all bandaged, and some of them even had broken arms and legs.
After seeing her, these people were all smiling brightly. Lin Xiaoyue was a little moved..
