Thousands of miles to find a wife
In a post station in the northwest, Lu Ming looked at the letter left by Chu Ying in his hand and the apologic Lord Yicheng on the other side, and put the letter on his chest helplessly, "I know you can't stop her, do you know which military camp she goes to?" ”
"I gave her the order for the nearest military camp, but I just received a reply a few days ago, and Chu Ying was not registered in that military camp, so I don't know where she went now." Lord Yicheng enthusiastically poured hot tea for Lu Ming, but before the tea was cold, Lu Ming got up.
"No, I expected a pool in the middle, so I had food and a bedroom, and my men needed a good rest after a long journey. Which room did Chu Ying sleep in? ”
"Over there, I'll show you the way." Ji Qiu had been listening to this man asking about Chu Ying since he received them, thinking that it might be Chu Ying's brother.
"I'm in trouble." Lu Ming saw that there were neatly stacked horse bricks next to the stable, and there were still a few people in the stable making horse dung bricks.
"The old ones were made by Chu Ying, and the new ones were slowly made by us later, Chu Ying came here and did a lot of things, the city wall over there and the current deployment of troops were all thought of by Chu Ying before he left." Chu Ying's cold remarks before leaving made some people in the post house slowly begin to change, just like what Chu Ying said later, if they continue to be eroded like this, then when the enemy army comes, they won't even be able to escape.
"Really?" Lu Ming smiled bitterly a few times, the relationship opened up with a few hundred taels of silver could have allowed Chu Ying to sit comfortably here and wait for him to pick her up, but Chu Ying, a fool who couldn't bear the patience and was bent on doing something, escaped like this.
"Are you Chu Ying's brother? When Chu Ying left, she explained that if someone came to him, she would say sorry to this person, and she said that she had more important things to do. Ji Qiu looked at this Lu Ming, who was still clean and bright, and refreshed, although he was dusty, and Chu Ying, who was working hard tomorrow, really didn't look like a mother's womb.
Lu Ming chuckled a few times, "Is the safety of the country possible for her to save it alone?" She can't save it, she is not alone in saving the country in fire and water, there is a sick mother waiting for her, what she has to do is to go home. ”
"Poor, send her alone, if everyone thinks that it will be okay to have one less of them, then no one will fight bloodily, and it depends on each of us to save the country from fire and water."
Lu Ming shook his head lightly, it does depend on each of us, but it can't rely on Chu Ying, a woman, Chu Ying is romantic and free, so it may be difficult for her to teach her husband and children at home, but it is better to let her travel to the mountains and rivers than to go to the front line to fight the world with a group of men.
Pushing open the room where Chu Ying once slept, the quilts inside were neatly folded, except for the ash on the ground, the inside was also very clean, but there were knife marks on the wall, and the last one was extraordinarily long.
"This is what Chu Ying used to remember the day, she said that a comfortable life is too easy to wear down her will, and if you don't do something, you don't know that you have passed the day."
Lu Ming opened the quilt and found that there was a small row of wooden people below, it seemed that they were himself, Ye Qiu and Chunxia, Qiudong and them, looking at the ugly carved self that could only be identified by the hairband on his head, Lu Ming was very disgusted, but he held it tightly in his hand.
It has been almost three months since Chu Ying's departure to her here.
In these three months, Chu Ying may go to any military camp, and there is no difference between looking for a wife and looking for a needle in a haystack, I just hope that the strength under the various post stations and shops can be gained.
The Lu family shops have already issued instructions, where Chu Ying's requirements must be met, if they can stay, they will try their best to stay, if they can't stay, they must know where Chu Ying is going, as long as they receive a letter to Chu Ying's home address, they will be detained and sent to nearby shops.
Lu Ming looked at the moon that had risen early, and had been looking at it quietly, always feeling that it was so much, Chu Ying, who was different from ordinary women, was sitting on the recliner in the backyard of the study.
When he came back to his senses, it was already late at night, Lu Ming put the little wooden man in his baggage, only pinched the little wooden man in his hand, and wanted to laugh once if he didn't see it once, he really had never seen such an ugly little wooden man in his life, and Chu Ying could carve like this, maybe he hadn't seen it for a long time, Chu Ying had forgotten what he looked like.
Lu Ming went to bed early, and when his entourage had rested enough, he hurriedly set off to find this hot and troublesome little thing, otherwise Chu Ying wouldn't be able to recognize what he looked like.
Chu Ying, who was about to cross the mountain, felt that her ears were very hot, and she didn't know if she had eaten two more cakes in the morning, and the five soldiers who followed behind were already a little tired, and the hands holding the big knives were already blistered.
"Pay attention to the surroundings, safety first, even if we can't catch up with the main force at that time, it doesn't matter, if this rope can be set up, then it will be a thing once and for all, if you can change the iron cable, it will be more durable, at that time, it will be good to tie the iron rope directly to the rope, and it will be harder now."
Chu Ying confirmed the route again, and asked General Yan Qin and other veterans about the general topographic map drawn by them, according to their description, there could be about 7 positions where ropes could be erected.
The 5 soldiers, plus Chu Ying herself, only brought enough dry food and necessary equipment, as well as all the hemp rope that could be used. Although they were carrying all the necessities, the weight of each soldier was somewhat considerable.
This time it is not only to set up ropes, but also to allow soldiers to actually experience climbing and train their ability to survive in the jungle and mountains. "Wrap the rope around a rock, rock, or crevice that is large enough to be loosened when you land on the ground to pull the rope back. To make sure the equipment is safe, I'll do a rappelling demonstration first. ”
Chu Ying grabbed the rope above with her left hand, adjusted the rope below with her right hand, and jumped on the ground with her legs.
"Team rate, it's too fast, can you do it again?"
"There's no second chance, try it yourself with the methods you taught before, pay attention to adjusting the rope, and control the center of gravity and balance of your body." The master led the way to practice on his own. Now that the conditions are limited, Chu Ying can only let them give full play to their abilities even more.
The explanation of basic edible animals and plants, the prototype of several basic wild shelters, how to find water sources, several practical methods for making fires, the search for directions, estimating distances and analyzing the terrain, these are all things that Chu Ying hopes to teach them when they set up ropes in the past few days.
"Team rate? The rope in this direction is erected, but isn't it erected in the direction that comes back? Wouldn't that be faster, too? ”
"That's faster, but it only takes less time for the enemy to cross this mountain, these ropes are mainly for transporting food, fighting outside, food is life, determining the length of time that can be fought, and it plays a great role in the war."
Listening to the team rate, everyone felt that it seemed to make sense, but looking at the slope that was almost a mile away in a straight line, it was still a little difficult to take a step.
"Don't hesitate, it's going to get dark if you keep going any longer, you won't want to camp here, will you? I could find bear scratches and droppings on the trunk of a nearby tree. ”
Looking at Chu Ying's serious appearance at the bottom of the mountain, the soldiers could only muster up their courage and descend hard, just like when they went up the mountain on the first day and climbed up a steep slope.
