Chapter 20 Wealth

Tong Xiaoye was surprised in his heart, but he smiled sweetly on his face: "General, you, are you okay, I'll urge them?" ”

"No need, my illness, no amount of hot water can cure it, it's just a piece of everyone's mind, I'm like this, my brothers refuse to rest."

The heat from the boiling water is getting lighter and lighter, the general in the bucket is pale and his eyes are slightly closed, his body shiveres from time to time, although it is very cold, his voice is still calm, and the corners of his mouth are even slightly raised, which has a free and indifferent meaning.

Leaning too close to him, it seemed that his body was also a little cool, Tong Xiaoye rubbed his palms, and subconsciously took a few steps back, only then did he feel better.

There are too few people, the water in the barrel is no longer steaming, the other bucket has just been emptied, and the soldiers have run back and forth countless times, the pace is slower and slower, all supported by one breath, but there has never been a word of complaint, Tong Xiaoye admired it, and then looked at the man in the bucket who was like ice but looked at it calmly, and admired it even more.

I don't know what happened to this General Chen to become like this.

General Chen sighed, suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at her: "You girl has a lot of strength, where did those guys pull a coolie over, I have to give you a good reward." ”

"I came here with our young lady, and I've been used to doing rough work since I was a child, and I can't do anything else, so I only have one strength." Tong Xiaoye smiled embarrassedly, subconsciously looked at his slightly thick arm, and was stunned for a moment.

She is only eight years old, and her strength is considered big among her peers, but she can actually pick up a load of water, which is too unreasonable, but she hasn't done any heavy work recently.

Could it be that it is the credit of cultivating the volley step these days?

At the thought of volleying steps, her heart tightened, afraid that the general would notice her abnormality, so she hurriedly took two steps forward, circled the barrel in a similar way, and boldly asked: "General, what kind of disease are you, why are you so terrible, why don't you look at the doctor?" ”

"It's not a disease, it's a cold poison, and the doctor can't cure it."

General Chen's face was indifferent, he didn't realize Tong Xiaoye's abnormality, and suddenly glanced at the door as he spoke, "They are coming, you go and pick up the water, move slowly, so that they can rest for a while." ”

This general is quite sympathetic to his subordinates!

Tong Xiaoye nodded, walked quickly to the door to take the water, and poured buckets into the barrels, and the soldiers at the door waited for the barrels, and they all sat at the door, panting.

"Hurry up, young man, the general's water is cold again!"

Although they were all tired to death, the soldiers still kept urging, Tong Xiaoye agreed repeatedly, and under the signal of General Chen, the movement slowed down.

After tossing like this all morning, General Chen's cold poison finally subsided.

The soldiers cheered, Tong Xiaoye was also in a good mood, and was about to say goodbye to them, but after thinking about it, he was still a little unwilling, and asked cheekily: "General, what about the reward you promised me, can't you let me work for nothing!" ”

The soldiers laughed, and Wang Erniu said: "You little guy, how could our general treat you badly, let's go for a walk, I'm tired for so long, let's go eat barbecue first, and then talk about the reward after eating!" ”

Speaking of barbecue, Tong Xiaoye was also a little drooling, thinking that Xuehe would not be able to go back until night, so he happily agreed, and followed the soldiers to the kitchen.

The old man in the kitchen had already prepared the meat, and the cut meat was placed on the table one by one, fresh and clean, Tong Xiaoye was wondering why he didn't cook it directly, and then his eyes were suddenly opened.

Unexpectedly, General Chen actually barbecued meat for them to eat.

Skillful techniques, professional posture, Tong Xiaoye only glanced at it, and he was a little admired, but he didn't expect this general to have this ability.

His roasted meat tasted very good, after smearing with special spices, there was a faint fragrance of flowers and plants in the strong aroma of the roasted meat, fat but not greasy, Tong Xiaoye smelled the meat with an intoxicated face, and suddenly felt that it was not so painful to be caught all morning today.

The people take food as the sky, and the rich and noble are all floating clouds, and filling their stomachs to eat delicious food is the last word.

Tong Xiaoye was tired all morning, he was already tired and panicked, and at this time, General Chen's eyes were shining, and when he brought the meat to his mouth, he quickly bit into it.

General Chen retracted his hand and said with a smile: "What a little gluttonous cat, don't worry, no one will rob you!" ”

The surrounding soldiers all laughed, Tong Xiaoye's mouth was full, and he didn't bother to speak at all - the meat roasted by the general was so delicious!

She was eating happily, with a small face bulging, like a greedy little mouse, Brother Li smiled and patted her on the shoulder: "Eat slowly, be careful of choking." ”

Everyone laughed again, and a few soldiers handed over the meat in their hands, Tong Xiaoye took it embarrassedly, and was about to thank him, when he inadvertently looked back, and just bumped into General Chen's smile, and was a little sluggish in an instant.

The man's smile was quite hearty and sunny, with a taste of the prairie, and his handsome face was more vivid, exuding an incomparable charm, and she was a little distracted.

only to find out that although this General Chen is sturdy, his appearance is really handsome, he doesn't look like a bold general, but like a handsome son.

She looked at General Chen with a pair of big eyes, and after a while, she was pulled back by the taste of food, which obviously pleased everyone, Wang Erniu took the lead and coaxed: "Little girl, our general is handsome, the girls in Dashengjing rushed to marry the general!" ”

After all, she didn't deliberately hide it, and after a hard morning together, everyone knew that she was not a young man, but a sturdy little girl.

"Yes, the general is really good-looking, better than the most handsome boy and brother I have ever seen!" Tong Xiaoye nodded very seriously, and General Chen also smiled: "Haha, then everyone will call me Chen Gongzi in the future, it's not bad to be a son-in-law brother in the world, don't call it a general, I don't have to let others think that we have any intentions." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little silent, and the eldest brother Li sighed: "Alas, it's hateful that our general has worked so hard for the Dasheng Dynasty, and now he has been treated like this, which is really chilling." ”

Everyone wanted to echo, but was stopped by General Chen, so some lively soldiers changed the topic, and everyone dispersed after eating the barbecue lively.

After Tong Xiaoye took the reward and said goodbye to everyone, he returned to the front hall alone to find Xuehe, and was immediately overjoyed when he saw the man in brocade clothes beside Xuehe.
