10. Idle talk
Xia Yunchu watched the monkey gobble up the jerky in one bite, but he tore the meat into strips next to him, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
She was reluctant to eat the jerky all at once, so she only tore some to satisfy her hunger, and then put it in her arms and hid it.
The jerky in this place is not very tasty, and I don't know why, the meat has a faint fishy smell and a very rough taste. This kind of meat should be covered with a heavy flavor to cover the smell on the top, but in this place, I don't know if the ingredients are not enough, or reluctant to cut the ingredients, the taste of this piece of jerky is really not enough, and it tastes dry, except for the strong smell of meat, it is really not very delicious.
But in a mouth that has always lacked meat, chewing it is already a rare delicacy.
The monkey had helped Xia Yunchu take the steamed buns before, and at this time, they were mixed together and eaten, but they also ate rare game.
The two boys hid to the side and ate meat, causing the eyes of the people around them to turn red. However, the old soldier's deterrence was still there, and no one had just stepped forward to grab their jerky to eat, so they could only watch from the outside.
Xia Yunchu naturally wouldn't give them any more of his meat. She had given the meat to the monkey because she thought that the monkey had found water with her, and that he should have had some meat, but the people around her had not done these things, and she was not familiar with them, so she would not have given away her own things casually.
After carefully putting away the rest of the jerky, she tore the steamed bun and ate it while pricking up her ears to listen to the voices of the people around her. The people were whispering about the hunchbacked veteran, and she paid more attention to it for a while.
It was from those people's accounts that she slowly learned about the veteran.
It is said that the veteran had already broken his home due to the war since he was very young. He had nowhere else to go but begging passing troops to take him in. Over the years, the Qin State has been in constant turmoil, but he joined the team at a young age, and he has also made a lot of military achievements.
At that time, he was in good shape and handsome, but he was caught by the enemy in a battle, and I don't know what kind of torture he suffered, his back was broken, and his face was injured like this.
These Qin troops were stationed near the village before, and in this rear array, there were villagers who had known the veteran before, and they couldn't help but sigh when they talked about the veteran. It is said that at that time, there were already matchmakers who wanted to come to the door to pull the red line for this military master, but after that incident, this person's face was also ruined, and no one was willing to approach him. has come down all the way to this age.
Xia Yunchu listened quietly beside him, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
She didn't have any special feelings for the middle-aged hunchbacked veteran before, but at this time, she had a little help from the other party, and she also remembered it a little in her heart. suddenly knew that the other party had such a miserable encounter, and couldn't help but feel a trace of sympathy. Although such a man may not need her sympathy at all.
The conversation of the people next to him has not stopped, starting from the hunchbacked veteran, talking about it once, and then turning to talking about the other soldiers in the Qin army array.
After Xia Yunchu crossed over, although he had some more memories in his mind, those memories were not very clear. In addition, the original owner of the body doesn't seem to be a person who cares about other things, and when she thinks about many things carefully, she finds that even the original owner has never known, which makes her feel twelve points inconvenient.
How did the original owner die, she only had a vague general impression, and if she wanted to avoid the established death, what she knew now was far from enough.
But she couldn't be too eager.
Listening to those sporadic conversations, she knew that it should be the first year of the Qin State Jian'an, and there were still nearly three years before the death of the original owner. As long as she can find a way to deviate her life from its original trajectory in the past three years, she should be able to avoid death.
She was thinking about her own thoughts, and her ears moved, when she suddenly heard a name from the gossip next to her.
-- Li Shun.
The soldier who dug her out of the pile of dead.
Xia Yunchu's eyes blinked, and he unconsciously tilted his ears sideways, listening carefully to the conversation between those people.
They would mention this name purely because Li Shun had been in and out of the camp a lot lately. A soldier who was not injured in the slightest often came and went in the rear, and it seemed that he was too blind, and it was impossible not to notice him.
Those chatting and gossiping said a few guesses, and the more they talked, the more outrageous they became, and Xia Yunchu slowly frowned.
She didn't want to join this kind of conversation about people behind her back, but when she heard that they seemed to have guessed Li Shun as a small work, she couldn't help but whisper, "It's not like that, that little military master came over to send the wounded soldiers." ”
The people who were speaking were all stunned, and they all turned their heads to look at Xia Yunchu.
She used to be a very quiet and docile shy kid, and never interjected. If she hadn't found a source of water today, maybe the people in this place would have forgotten that such a kid existed. Now that she suddenly spoke, she startled everyone around her.
Among those people who were talking, there was an aunt who had helped Xia Yunchu boil water during the day, and when he heard Xia Yunchu suddenly say this, he smiled and said, "Ouch, little Xiazi, do you know about the military master?"
The aunt heard the monkey shouting "Xiao Xiazi" and "Xiao Xiazi" next to her every day, and she also knew Xia Yunchu's name. At this time, although there were some strangers between the two, there was no problem in talking.
After all, Xia Yunchu is not as shy and afraid of life as the little girl at the beginning, her alienation is just pretended, so as not to reveal her unfamiliarity with this dynasty. At this time, when he heard the other party's question, he pursed his lips, then nodded and spoke, "I met that one in front of the camp before, and he said that he sent the wounded soldiers over. ”
She didn't want to say much else.
The villagers who were standing and gossiping looked at each other, obviously not believing what Xia Yunchu said. It's not that they have anything else in their hearts, it's just because they have any suspicions about Xia Yunchu in their hearts, just because they are in their hearts.
In the past, when they were in the village, their only pastime was to talk about the short gossip of the east and west families when they were enjoying the cool air at the head of the village and the end of the village. Later, the family was broken, and in the midst of this Qin army's big array, he could only do things busily every day, and he hadn't gossiped like this for a long time. For them, gossip is all about pastime.
At this time, when she heard Xia Yunchu mention Li Shun's matter, she seemed to know the inside story, and she suddenly surrounded her, which greatly surprised Xia Yunchu, and she was stunned for a while.
