Chapter 24 Rice with White Flowers
Mo Chen led everyone to the small hill where the food was temporarily kept, and found a few soldiers guarding there, waiting for their arrival.
When the soldiers saw Mo Chen and them coming, why did they trot to Mo Chen's side, gave a military salute, and said, "May I ask if it is Captain Mo." ”
"Well, that's right, it's me, that's all for food?" Mo Chen nodded, pointed to the place where bags full of sacks were placed randomly, and said, at the same time, he wondered for a while, it seems that the food he said is unreliable, otherwise it would not be possible for only a few soldiers to guard.
"Uh, yes." Several of the soldiers had strange faces, and they didn't know how to answer.
Seeing the soldier's strange expression, Mo Chen seemed to understand something, and walked over to untie a sack casually.
"Whoa."
The rolling yellow sand rolled out of the sack, and Mo Chen showed an expression that was indeed the case, but he still asked, "What's going on?" Is this what is called grain? ”
The soldiers looked at Mo Chen with a bad face, of course they knew what was going on, speaking of which, these sandbags were still made by them after a long time, after all, there was sand everywhere, and they quickly told the whole story.
Before leaving, Mo Chen had long suspected this batch of grain, in his opinion, the generals would not use the real grain to lure the enemy, after all, if they failed, wouldn't it be a relief for the bandits? Now, as expected, the grain is not real.
However, after the soldier's answer, he soon found that he guessed wrong, how many bags of grain were real, after all, the bandits were not stupid, if it was all fake, I don't know if the bandits would find out that it was a trap, so a few bags of grain were real, and they were used to achieve the effect of being fake and real.
Mo Chen asked the team members to put those sandbags on the wooden cart, and he put the bags of real grain in the front wooden cart, and the wooden cart behind, of course, there was a bag in the middle wooden cart.
Looking at the busy figures of the team members, Mo Chen smiled and said to the soldiers: "Are you guys coming with us?" ”
When the soldiers heard Mo Chen's words, their faces tightened, and they hurriedly said, "No, Captain Mo, our captain asked us to return to the team as soon as possible after handing over to Captain Mo." ”
What are you kidding, this kind of task is a mission to death at first glance, if you go, I'm afraid that there will be more luck and less luck, and they will be stupid to go to this troubled water.
"Oh well! Then I won't force you to stay, so let's go! Mo Chen also knew that this was a dangerous job, and he also knew that it was unlikely that he would let these soldiers go with them, so he didn't say much.
"Yes, Captain Mo." As soon as a few soldiers heard Mo Chen's words, they finally let out a sigh, made a military salute and hurriedly slipped away, not daring to delay for a moment, otherwise if Mo Chen repented and let them stay, then they would have no place to cry.
They were really afraid that Mochen would force them to stay and go together. What if Mochen forcibly let them stay? Armed resistance? No kidding, although this Captain Mo looks weak, not to mention that there are a hundred people here, just one of them with an axe, one with a hammer, and one of them can ride a horse on their shoulders.
The team members have been on the road for almost a night, and Mo Chen asked them to rest, after all, there is still a little bit before the departure time, and the team members are also tired, if they attack the bandits, it is very dangerous and passive.
As soon as the soldiers heard this, they just lay on the ground and closed their eyes to rest, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, probably a little tired from the journey, and fell asleep one by one.
Mo Chen also found a quick place to sit down, closed his eyes, and rested. The place was full of people, and there was no sentry, it was not that Mo Chen didn't know how to arrange people to sentry, but he felt that there would be no danger in this place, and the bandits would never run so far to attack them. If the bandits really dared to dispatch a team of 100 people, the officers and soldiers guarding the main road would have already informed the army to encircle and suppress the bandits.
Closing his eyes, Mo Chen also slowly fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dawn, and Mo Chen felt a kick on the ass of the fat tiger who was sleeping not far from him.
"His grandmother's, that bastard dares to kick Lao Tzu's ass, stepping on the horse, and is still laughing." Fat Tiger was kicked in the ass, and the whole person bounced up, and his hazy eyes were about to pounce on the person standing next to him and kick him, and what made him even more annoyed was that the guy just stood there and looked at him with a smile. When he saw clearly who was kicking him, the hand he was holding forward immediately changed to a fist-hugging posture, and the angry expression on his face was instantly full of smiles.
"Big brother, what's the matter?" Fat Tiger said with a flattering smile on his face.
Mo Chen stood there, smiling at the fat tiger, and was amazed by the changes in the fat tiger's gestures and expressions! It would be nice if his moves changed so quickly.
"Go and call everyone up, we're ready to go." Mo Chen saw that the time was not too early, so he asked the team members to get up and prepare to go.
I don't know if it was because of being kicked in the ass by Mo Chen, Fat Tiger walked to the side of the dog closest to him, and also kicked the dog's buttocks, and said: "Hurry up, sleep what sleep, hurry up, get up and call everyone up." ”
The dog was kicked, rubbed his buttocks, and went to call the others up with a depressed face, he didn't dare to get angry with the fat tiger.
In this way, every one of them awoke and called the others, and soon all of them woke up.
Mo Chen let everyone eat some dry food and set off. Of course, the people who pulled the cart were the members of the team in cloth clothes, and the other team members walked around the wooden cart.
Because of the burly nature of the two oxen and the fat tiger, they were honored to be one of the pushers, and their weapons were placed on wooden carts and pressed in sacks.
Mo Chen tried to push the wooden cart, but seriously, although these sacks were not filled with food, they were really heavy.
The team moved forward slowly, and ate some dry food and water at noon, but close to the mountain, Mo Chen still let the team rest for an hour, because he knew that when he arrived here, the battle would happen at any time, and the team members must maintain enough physical strength, and at the same time, he scraped a small hole in the sack containing grain in front of him, so that the white rice in it spilled out.
Approaching the afternoon, about four o'clock, Mo Chen led the team into the mountain forest, which was already the range of activities of the bandits, and Mo Chen vigilantly observed the surroundings.
Soon after Mo Chen left a mountain road, several people immediately ran out of the jungle next to him, picked up a few grains of rice spilled on the ground, and ran into the jungle again.
