Congrats to the boss and his brother

Chi Jingyao was held in Pei Ye's arms, and the other side's slaps and slaps kept coming from his back. The feeling was familiar and solid, and the fear and uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated.

Chi Jingyao often feels that even if he encounters difficult things, as long as he has Pei Ye by his side, he won't be so afraid.To him, Pei Ye is like an indestructible safe haven, reliable and warm.

Soon, his almost collapsed emotions were soothed by Pei Ye.

In fact, he has never been a pessimistic person. Today is just a sudden incident. In addition, he has been too nervous for a few days, so he can't hold back his emotions for a while.After nestling in Pei Ye's arms for a while, he slowly regained his composure.

Right now, he has no other escape route, no matter what kind of situation he faces, he cannot retreat.

What Pei Ye said is correct, he is not a god, he cannot be the savior or lord, but he is a doctor.

What doctors should do is to cure diseases and save lives.

Even without the help of the system, without the Anti-Blade Pill, the current epidemic will not stop.

The only thing he can do is to do his best to save the situation in front of him. As for the result, that is not something he should worry about.

"Second brother..." Chi Jingyao got up from Pei Ye's arms, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and said, "I'm fine."

He helped Pei Ye get up from the ground, his eyes were still red, but his eyes were not as dim as before, and he regained his spirit after only a moment.

"It's too early to admit defeat. Of all of us, only Zheng Yanping got sick, which means that the Anti-Blade Pill is still effective." Chi Jingyao's words seemed to be comforting Pei Ye. It's like cheering yourself up.

Pei Ye stretched out his hand to help the young man pat the dust on his body, and when he looked up, he saw the young man smiled at him and said, "I'm not afraid anymore, second brother."

As he spoke, he leaned over and gave Pei Ye a hug, then turned around and trotted out of the room.

There were too many people in the camp waiting for him to save, and he didn't have much time to be depressed.

But fortunately, with Pei Ye here, he at least has an embrace to lie in for a short while, which is enough for him.

Looking at the boy's back, Pei Ye stretched out his hand to rub his chest. Because the weather was too cold, the warmth from the boy's embrace disappeared almost instantly, which made Pei Ye a little disappointed. .

When he thought of the young man's smile just now, he couldn't help feeling a little ache in his heart, secretly thinking that their little thing had really grown up, and his eyes were still red after crying, so he knew how to comfort him Others.

For a moment, he couldn't even tell whether this feeling was good or bad. He had always expected the other party to grow up and mature, but when this day came, he felt a little panicked.

Probably because he knows that as a teenager grows up, many things will slowly change, and at this moment, Pei Ye has no way of judging whether these changes are good or bad.

That day, Pei Ye went to the barracks to take a look at Zheng Yanping.

The other party's illness is very severe. Although he has taken medicine, he is still in a coma.

"When will he wake up?" Pei Ye asked.

"Doctor Chi came to see him and gave him medicine. If there is no accident, he will not be able to wake up when the fever subsides at dusk." A military doctor next to him said.

Pei Ye responded, and said, "Go and help Mr. Chi, I'll find someone to watch over here."

"Yes, General." The military doctor saluted Pei Ye, and then left the barracks.

Pei Ye stared at Zheng Yanping for a while, and vaguely remembered that this person had served under his command, and his performance on the battlefield was quite brave, but he hadn't.In fact, the one hundred people that Yang Cheng assigned to Chi Jingyao this time were all quick-witted, smart and capable, and it was impossible for Yang Cheng to send them here.

"You, come here." Pei Ye left the barracks and called a soldier over.

Hearing this, the soldier hurried forward and saluted him, waiting for his order.

"You're at the door? Watch him, and don't let anyone approach him unless Master Chi ordered you to do so." Pei Ye said.

"Yes." The man answered hastily.

Pei Ye turned around and glanced at the unconscious Zheng Yanping in the barracks, and then strode away.

He went to find someone to send a message to Pei Qing, who called him over.

Since the camp where Pei Ye was staying was full of seriously ill patients, Pei Qing could not come in.According to the wishes of Chi Jingyao and Mr. Zhang, an empty area was left between each area of ​​the camp, and the two went to that area to talk a few steps apart.

"Among the people sent here this time, there is a man named Zheng Yanping, do you know him?" Pei Ye asked.

"The old man from the Qizhou Camp is gone. He came from Qizhou with us." Pei Qing said, "What happened to him?"

Pei Ye thought for a while and asked, "How much do you know about this person?"

"Brave, honest, and reliable." Pei Qing said, "He's a good boy."

"They? When this group of people came here, they all took Kangwen Pills like me, but this Zheng Yanping got sick." Pei Ye said.

Pei Qing was startled, and said with some concern, "Has the Anti-Blade Pill failed?"

"Among the more than 100 people, only? He got sick." Pei Ye said.

It might not be surprising if it was someone else, but Pei Ye knew Chi Jingyao well.

Although he didn't know what was in those pills, he knew that Chi Jingyao had great confidence in the pills. If it wasn't for that, the young man wouldn't have let Pei Ye come with him without hesitation.

According to Pei Ye's understanding of the boy, the other party's self-confidence is definitely not without reason.

In other words, the possibility that the anti-plague pill will fail is very small, even negligible.

"Assuming it's not about the pills, then it's about this person." Pei Ye said coldly.

"The general suspects that he didn't take this pill?" Pei Qing asked.

"I'm not sure, so I want you to check his details." Pei Ye said: "I can only think of two possibilities, one is that someone ordered him to do this and wanted to take the pill He stole it for other uses, and secondly... he gave the pill to someone he cared about, who happened to be at risk of getting sick because he had been in contact with someone who was infected."

Pei Qing thought for a while, and said: "Since the secret incident happened in the big camp, we have been strictly guarding against death. It is not easy to enter and leave the big camp at this time. Besides, in such a short period of time , he should have no time to do anything, or contact people outside."

"Then? There is only the second possibility." Pei Ye said.

"Your subordinates are going to investigate now." Pei Qing said.

After saying that, Pei Qing bowed to Pei Yeyao, turned around and left.

After Pei Ye went back, he went straight to the barracks and found Chi Jingyao.

Chi Jingyao was administering needles to a soldier at the moment. The soldier coughed badly and choked on two mouthfuls of blood.

Just as Pei Ye was about to step forward, he saw Chi Jingyao waving his hand at another soldier who was about to step forward to help and said, "It's okay."

"Ayao, do you want to give him medicine?" Ruan Baozi asked from the side.

"Give him the medicine according to the original dosage according to the prescription, and don't give him other pills for the time being." Chi Jingyao said.

Ruan Baozi hurriedly marked the pulse case after hearing the words

"Chi Da? Husband..." After the soldier coughed up blood, he calmed down a little, and asked Chi Jingyao, "Will I die?"

"Is your pulse okay? You're still far away from death. Coughing up blood is just a symptom of this epidemic, just like some people have a runny nose and some people sneeze. Don't scare people just because coughing up blood I feel like I'm going to die." Chi Jingyao calmly helped him finish the injection, and then said: "It will be more uncomfortable at night, you should work hard on your own, and you should get better tomorrow after getting through tonight."

Hearing the words, the man lifted his spirits, and his complexion immediately improved a lot.

Chi Jingyao turned to the soldier next to him and said: "You two live in the same room, and you should pay attention to his condition at night. If you have symptoms of being out of breath, or coma and high fever, you can call me."

"Okay? Don't worry, Master Chi." The soldier said.

He was also very ill in the past two days, but after taking the [Strength-strength Anti-inflammatory Pill], he recovered quickly, and he recovered more than half of it in just two days.

"I'm in good spirits now. If Master Chi doesn't dislike me, I can help take care of the people in the nearby barracks." The soldier said, "Didn't you say it's completely fine before? You still have to wait for it." How about a few days? It’s hard for me to be idle, so give me some work.”

Hearing the words, Chi Jingyao suddenly thought of what? He stretched out his hand to take his pulse, and felt relieved when he saw that his pulse was stable.

"Can you do me a favor, let's? In the barracks in this area, there are... some people who came in the first two days, and some of them are slowly recovering." Chi Jingyao said: "Help me I'll go and count and write down the names of the soldiers who have recovered to a similar condition to yours."

Knowing that he finally had something to do, the soldier immediately agreed with a happy face.

When Chi Jingyao turned around to leave the barracks, he saw Pei Ye standing by the door.

"General Pei..." Chi Jingyao came out of the barracks. Seeing that there was no one around, he put his hand into Pei Ye's to keep warm.

The young man has completely recovered his emotions at this moment, looking at Pei Ye with bright and excited eyes, as if he has encountered some great good thing.

"Second brother, I suddenly thought of a good idea." The young man said to Pei Ye: "There are some soldiers in our battalion who have gradually recovered, and we can let them replace the previous one hundred people to help take care of them." Sick soldiers, so that those people don't have to stay in the camp."

This can save a lot of [Anti-Blade Pill], and use the remaining points to exchange for more important anti-inflammatory pills. Second, if there is a problem with the [Anti-Blade Pill], the previous hundred soldiers who had never been infected , can avoid becoming like Zheng Yanping.

"According to my observation, soldiers who have recovered from an illness will not get sick again." Chi Jingyao said, "It's safe for them to stay here, and they? Have been sick before, so they know how to take care of others .”

The more the boy thought about it, the happier he became, his eyes were full of smiles.

Seeing him like this, Pei Ye couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "Go to Master Zhang to discuss this matter, and I'll take care of this matter."

"Okay?" The boy said, pulling his not yet warm hand out of Pei Ye's hand, and then trotted to find Senior Brother Zhang.

When Chi Jingyao went to talk to Senior Brother Zhang, he realized that they had already started doing this here.

"We? The people here are so sick that they don't really need care." Brother Zhang said to Chi Jingyao, "I originally planned to send all the helpers to your side. With that said, you can send them all away."

Tomorrow is the seventh day that those one hundred people have taken anti-plague pills. After sending them away, there is no need to give them any more pills.

To be on the safe side, Chi Jingyao told them to change clothes and take a shower after returning home, and then find a place to isolate themselves.After seven or eight days, as long as no one is infected, they will be safe.

On the same day, after sending those one hundred soldiers away, Doctor Zhang picked dozens of people and sent them to the ward in charge of Chi Jingyao.

Because the symptoms of soldiers with mild symptoms are relatively mild, many people recover within three or four days.But for the sake of safety, they can't go back to other barracks for the time being, so there's nothing else to do.

Soldiers? They are used to drills on weekdays. Now that they are detained and can't do anything, they are boring. Now that they have something to do, everyone is very active.

After going back in the evening, Chi Jingyao secretly calculated, the loss of these? One hundred people is equivalent to saving five thousand points to exchange for anti-plague pills.And these points can be exchanged for 25 [Powerful Anti-inflammatory Pills], which is almost equivalent to saving 25 lives.

"Happy?" Pei Ye saw him counting with his fingers, with an undisguised smile on his face, and his mood improved a lot.

Chi Jingyao smiled, and said to Pei Ye: "Second brother, I think I'm good? I'm smart."

"Yeah." Pei Ye said, "Just? I cry a lot when I'm in a hurry."

Chi Jingyao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when he brought this up, and stepped back awkwardly to the side and began to wash.

Pei Ye was about to coax him a few more words, but he heard that someone outside the barracks reported that it was Pei Qing who was looking for him.

"Brother Pei Qing came to see you?" Chi Jingyao asked.

"Well, ask him to do something." Pei Ye said.

Before Zheng Yanping's matter was settled, Pei Ye didn't intend to reveal it to Chi Jingyao, lest the boy's hard-to-recovery mood be disturbed again.

"Second brother..." Chi Jingyao gestured? He stretched out his hand, and then put a [Anti-plague Pill] into Pei Ye's hand, and said, "Give one to Brother Pei Qing, so that it will be more convenient for you to meet, Don't delay things."

Pei Qing is Pei Ye's right-hand man, and he has to walk around for Pei Ye on weekdays. Chi Jingyao thinks it's safer to give him a pill.

Didn't Pei Ye refuse? He took the pill and strode out of the barracks.

After a cup of tea, he came back after seeing Pei Qing, and went straight to Zheng Yanping's residence.

He asked the soldiers guarding the other side about the situation, and learned that Zheng Yanping had just woken up for a while.

"General..." Zheng Yanping was quite surprised when he saw Pei Yehou. He wanted to stand up and salute, but because he was too sick, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.

Pei Ye looked at him coldly, opened his mouth and said, "When you gave medicine to others, did you ever think that you would have this? One day?"

Zheng Yanping was startled when he heard the words, and asked anxiously: "General Pei, this matter? I did it all by myself. Xiao Jiang doesn't know where my pills came from. I just..."

"Do you think you are selfless?" Pei Ye grabbed his shirt and said coldly, "Do you know how much Chi Da? Husband blamed himself for you? He thought it was something wrong with his medicine. I hurt you myself!"

Pei Ye thought of Chi Jingyao's appearance when he collapsed today, and he became very angry, wishing to beat him up.

"I..." Zheng Yanping coughed violently before finishing his sentence.

Pei Ye let go of him, and only looked at him coldly, with sharp eyes.

If Pei Qing hadn't asked Pei Qing to investigate it today, he wouldn't have known about it? Zheng Yanping received the anti-plague pill that day and didn't take it by himself, but gave the pill to another roommate in the same room while he was going back to pack his things. A soldier Xiao Jiang.

"I saw this the other day? The epidemic came very quickly, and many people fell ill in the camp..." Zheng Yanping said weakly: "They said that if the symptoms are mild, the disease is nothing serious, and if it is severe, it will kill you." I thought I was always strong, so even if I contracted an epidemic, nothing would happen to me, but Xiao Jiang has not recovered since he was injured last year..."

He thought, anyway, the place he was going to was the severe disease area. Even if he got infected unfortunately, he didn't have to worry about hurting others. As long as he carried it over, there would be no serious problems. Once infected, it will die.

But what he didn't expect was that the onset of this disease would be so fierce.

Moreover, the severity of the epidemic has nothing to do with whether a person is strong or not.

"Xiao Jiang, he doesn't know... I lied to him that everyone in the camp will have this." Zheng Yanping said, he was probably afraid that Pei Ye would pursue the matter, so he still didn't know it at this moment. Want to protect each other.

"Do you think he is a fool?" Pei Ye said coldly: "He knew the truth that day, have you ever thought about how he got here these days?"

Zheng Yanping was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Is he all right?"

Pei Ye raised his eyebrows, didn't he answer him, but the answer is self-evident.

Zheng Yanping gave his life-saving medicine to the other party, but he was in the critically ill area all day long. Even if the friendship between the two is weak, the other party may find it difficult to feel at ease.What's more, the person who can make Zheng Yanping do such a thing will naturally not have too little friendship with him.

"I..." Zheng Yanping covered his heart, coughed violently a few times, and then suddenly choked, blood came out.

Pei Ye looked at him, and finally said nothing, only sighed heavily.

I can't say why, although he may not agree with Zheng Yanping's approach, but he understands this matter from the beginning to the end.He even put himself in his shoes and thought, if he was the one who got the pill, and Chi Jingyao was the one who faced the unknown epidemic outside, he would give the pill to Chi Jingyao without hesitation.

However, in order to prevent the other party from feeling guilty after knowing the truth, he will secretly feed the other party when they are not prepared.

"Forget it, this matter? Let's pursue it later." Pei Ye said and planned to leave.

"General Pei..." Zheng Yanping stopped him suddenly, and said, "I probably can't do it anymore, can you? Can you tell Xiao Jiang something for me?"

"Tell him not to feel guilty?" Pei Ye snorted coldly: "If it were you, would you? Can't? Do it? Don't feel guilty?"

Zheng Yanping's eyes darkened when he heard this, he was extremely sad, but gradually calmed down.

Pei Ye didn't know what he thought of? Suddenly, he couldn't bear it, and he stepped forward and poured a bowl of water to Zheng Yanping.

Zheng Yanping took a sip from the water bowl, then coughed for a while.

Then he leaned against the bed and murmured: "He joined the army later than me, and the battle he fought in Shapozi that year was his first time on the battlefield, and he was almost stabbed into a gourd with a spear... ...I saved him easily, and he just entangled me..."

"Have you ever seen a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy crying?" Zheng Yanping smiled lightly, and said, "He not only cried, but also had nightmares in the middle of the night and was too scared to sleep. But he is not useless. In the battle of Pinghu, I was shot I shot two arrows, and he saved my life."

Hearing the words, Pei Ye didn't know what to think, and was a little dazed.

Then Zheng Yanping said again: "Everyone is on duty in the army. It's nice to have a brother whose life you depend on. Until... Later, I don't know why, but I thought so much about him."

"What's on your mind?" Pei Ye subconsciously asked.

"It's that kind of thought..." Zheng Yanping seemed to be lost in memory, and his tone became a little erratic, as if he was talking to himself, "He always treats me like an elder brother, it is my heart. delusional."

Pei Ye looked at Zheng Yanping, and asked word by word: "How do you know what you think about him?"

"What's so difficult about this?" Zheng Yanping smiled wryly, covered his heart, coughed violently a few times, and choked up blood again.

"When you get close to your brother, does your heart beat so fast that you want to jump out? Do you want to get close to him like crazy?" Zheng Yanping repented like a prodigal son who confessed his "crime" before dying. Even he himself didn't know where the "crime" came from.

"Will you blaspheme him in your dreams? When sleeping with him, will you have countless dirty thoughts?" Zheng Yanping said with a wry smile, "I will."

"When I'm by his side, I don't want to have him all the time. All the shady thoughts in my heart are related to him without exception. I..."

"Stop talking." Pei Ye interrupted him.

Zheng Yanping wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at Pei Ye, and said, "But I dare not tell him... I am afraid that he will feel disgusted, and he will alienate me because of it..."

"Stop talking!" Pei Ye said, "I tell you to shut up!"

Zheng Yanping's sanity has become a little unclear at this moment, as if he didn't hear Pei Ye's warning, he still talked to himself: "You won't understand, sometimes I even think, if I can If I die in front of him on the battlefield, then maybe he will be able to remember me all his life. But if I live well, I will be doomed to only watch him from afar in this life, and get nothing if I ask for it ...

That night, Pei Ye almost escaped from Zheng Yanping's barracks.

At first, he didn't know why he would rush to question Zheng Yanping in a strange way, but the matter was already clear, and there was no need for him to go there himself.

Thinking about it now, maybe after learning that the other party gave Xiao Jiang the medicine, he vaguely guessed what it was, and he wanted to ask for an answer.

He asked for this answer, not to prove anything, but to overthrow something.

He was looking forward to hearing from Zheng Yanping? Another story? A man risked his life for another boy, not because of any shady and dirty thoughts, but just because of his fellowship.

Between men and men, wanting to get close and throbbing inexplicably, maybe it is a common thing?

But Zheng Yanping not only didn't give him this answer, but instead revealed the result he was most afraid of to him in a daze.

Pei Ye felt that he was a little ridiculous, but he kept trying to find a legitimate reason for his abnormality.

Even at this moment, he doesn't really want to admit those thoughts.

When Pei Ye returned to his residence that night, Chi Jingyao had already fallen asleep under the quilt.

Pei Ye sat on the edge of the bed, leaning over to look at the sleeping boy in front of him. His brows and eyes were soft, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved up, as if he was having a sweet dream.

He reached out and caressed the boy's cheek, but didn't touch the boy's skin.

Was there? For a moment, he could hardly contain the urge to do something more outrageous.

What Zheng Yanping said is correct, whether he wants to or not? He admits that there are indeed many shady thoughts in his heart.

From the night of Shangyuan Festival when he watched the fireworks with the boy on the city tower, he should have realized his own feelings.

Pei Ye thinks he is not a dull person, but this time he has been unwilling to face his own feelings.

He couldn't understand himself, why did he have such thoughts about Chi Jingyao...

He didn't want to pursue it, and he didn't want to prove it. He just wanted to hide these messy emotions.Only in this way can he get close to the boy calmly, hold the boy's hand, embrace the boy, and accept all the boy's overtures and dependence on him.

But paper can't contain fire after all.

It's like he would take a Qingxin Quhuo pill before going to bed every day, but when he was lying next to the boy, he still couldn't restrain the crazy thoughts in his heart.What kind of thoughts are there? He desperately drilled out as if he had taken root, which made him deceive himself and others in vain.

That night, Pei Ye had that familiar dream again.

In the dream, he became the hunter again, and returned to the cabin that had appeared countless times in his dreams.

In the wooden house, the husband and wife were shivering from the cold, and they actively stuffed their cold hands into Pei Ye's palm.

Pei Ye stared blankly at each other, the two of them were getting closer and closer, their breathing almost intertwined.

Just when Pei Ye wanted to push people away as usual, the face of the ex-boyfriend suddenly became clear.

That face was very beautiful, with fair skin, delicate features, dark and bright eyes, and thin lips with a slight upward curve. Pei Ye was very familiar with every detail on it.

Because that was Chi Jingyao's face.

"Second brother..." Chi Jingyao, who was in front of him, parted his thin lips and called him in a low voice.

Pei Ye's heart moved, his consciousness went blank, and he leaned over and pressed the young man's thin lips...

"Hiss! Whoops!" Chi Jingyao's exclamation suddenly sounded.

Pei Ye woke up with a start, only then did he realize that he was just dreaming.

"Second Brother..." The young man next to him stretched out his arms to embrace him, as if he hadn't fully woken up yet.

Pei Ye hurriedly reached out and patted the young man's back, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Just now? Something bit me..." The boy rubbed against his arms and said, "There won't be any mice in the house, right?"

Pei Ye: ...

The author has something to say:

Second Brother: It's not me, I don't, I don't know anything!
