Chapter 332 Husband 1 Wants to Be a Widow (32)
"It's okay. I'll renovate the bedroom and put wooden floors on it, so it won't get wet on rainy days."
"But these grasses..."
"It's no problem. Use it to spread on the ground. Some of it can be used to build a cowshed."
"My dear wife, you are really smart. You can build a shed for the cows. There are not enough tiles over there. You can just use straw."
In the next month, Gu Yuxi renovated his house. Now all the thatched huts are gone and tiles have been put on them. Even the cows have a good place to live.
She said that the land for the new bedroom has already been marked out, and it will be built in the future when the population increases. Currently, a lot of space in the yard is occupied by the tiles of the village chief's house.
She used those earthen bricks to build a wall, but it was not enough, so she ended up making some bamboo fences.
One day, Gu Yuxi was pushing a board through the village. After walking a few dozen steps, the village chief called her: "Wait, Xiaoxi, wait a minute."
"Village Chief, what can I do for you?"
"I see you made two loads of wood in the morning. Can you help my family make a few loads as well? I'll pay you for your work."
The main thing is that Gu Yuxi does the work of four or five people alone, so the wages are not bad.
"Village Chief, don't you have a lot of wood at home?"
"We plan to renovate your house like yours. Your sister and the others will build the tiles. Now that the children are older, we want to give them their own room."
"I've already agreed to help build the house. If it's a renovation, it's going to be a lot of work."
"That's not a problem. Come over tomorrow when you're free. My aunt doesn't have a technician, so I can only ask for your help."
"That's easy. I'll come tomorrow."
"Then it's a deal! Don't lie to me."
"It's a deal. I know where the wood is good."
Gu Yuxi pushed the cart home. She had gotten used to this kind of life of working from sunrise to sunset. She never expected that someone was talking about her thousands of miles away.
"General, here are the things we need to investigate. Perhaps we have found the person who saved us when our army was ambushed that day."
In the study of the General Anbei's mansion, a heroic woman was annotating by candlelight with a brush. Upon hearing this, she quickly put down her brush and said anxiously, "Give it to me quickly!"
Wei Boxian took the investigation documents and muttered: "Gu Yuxi...from Fengzhu Village...retired due to injury..."
"This is indeed a warrior. Those evil creatures are not afraid of her, but why have I never heard of her among my subordinates?"
The subordinate handed over another file and said with a smile: "General, here is another one."
Seeing the unopened things, Wei Boxian pretended to be angry and said, "Well, you are always weak in doing things."
She knew in her heart that her subordinate had always been serious and responsible and would never make such a low-level mistake. Sometimes it was okay to make a joke, but now she was anxious.
So, as she opened the envelope, she said jokingly, "Could it be that you knew I was going to scold you and deliberately hid some important information?"
As she spoke, she quickly scanned the contents of the file.
It turns out that Gu Yuxi once served in the military, but retired early due to injury.
However, her performance in the army was very outstanding. She was not only brave and good at fighting, but also had unique insights into tactics.
After reading the document, Wei Boxian couldn't help but sigh: "What a talent! It's a pity that he left the army so early."
She secretly felt regretful in her heart, thinking that if Gu Yuxi had not been injured, he might have become an excellent general by now.
However, she was also fortunate to have found this benefactor and learned about her past.
Wei Boxian decided to visit Gu Yuxi in person to express his gratitude and see if there was any chance for her to return to the military camp.
After all, such talents are too rare to be wasted.
The subordinate saw what Wei Boxian meant and warned: "General, if we leave rashly now, the morale of the army may be unstable."
"Yes!"
Thinking of this, Wei Boxian stopped the idea of immediately instructing his subordinates to prepare gifts and horses and set off for Fengzhu Village early the next morning.
If she went there rashly, she would definitely be discovered. She would be fine, but her benefactor might be plotted against by a villain because of her impatience.
The subordinate continued to counsel: "Miss San said that you are clear about rewards and punishments, and she is afraid that you will not know the limits and offend someone with a background."
"It's so nagging."
Wei Boxian glanced at it again, and when he saw the second piece of paper, he gripped the document more and more tightly!
"These bastards, since when did such unscrupulous deception appear in the military?"
"Why is the general angry? There is no rush to see the benefactor's affairs."
"See for yourself!"
The subordinate took the thing from Wei Boxian's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became. Finally, he murmured, "No wonder my vanguard army used to be very accurate in killing enemy generals, but later it became increasingly sluggish. I didn't expect that it would chill the hearts of some warriors."
"No, this matter is not over yet."
"General, the person in front of us is the father-in-law's daughter-in-law. All the people involved are protected by officials and cannot be touched."
Boom boom boom!
"That's unreasonable!"
Wei Boxian couldn't help cursing, but he could only accept the reality helplessly. Those soldiers used to be her subordinates, and she could deal with them at will. However, now the situation has changed, and she feels extremely chilled.
As a soldier, she was not familiar with the ups and downs of officialdom. This experience made her deeply sad, and the more she understood, the angrier she became. Once the war was completely over, she just wanted to be a leisurely and carefree idler.
At this moment, His Majesty has clearly shown signs of taking back power. She still understands the principle that when the world is peaceful, the dog will be cooked after the rabbit dies and the bow will be put away after the bird is dead.
"Is the General all right?"
"Okay, I'm fine!"
Then, she said with shame: "Why do you think such a capable person would end up like this?"
"Did she offend a lot of villains? Otherwise, with her ability and having killed so many enemy generals, it is impossible for her to not even have an official position." The subordinate asked in confusion.
"Yes, such a capable person cannot defeat the word 'official'. I have offended even more villains. I just don't know if I can retire after achieving my goal." Wei Boxian sighed.
Nowadays, a new emperor appoints new ministers. His Majesty’s health is not as good as before, and several princesses are fighting openly and secretly. If you stand on the wrong side, the Wei family will face an irreparable situation.
"General, what you said is wrong. You are a great hero, so you are naturally different from others," the man comforted.
"There's nothing different. Just get used to it. Just get used to it." She stood up heavily and set all the documents on fire, watching the originally clear handwriting gradually being devoured by the flames and eventually turning into ashes.
Her eyes gradually became dim, as if she had lost the vitality.
"Go out, and don't tell anyone about this."
"Subordinates retire."
After his subordinates left, Wei Boxian put on a black cloak, put on a mask, walked out of the study, and left the general's mansion in the dark...
