Su Qing saw that her tone was very affirmative, so he nodded and agreed: "The Ningqi people are a nation on horseback, but their war horses are all well-trained, so they will not be surprised easily. ”

Song Xinshu thought for a while and told Su Qing the materials she needed, and Su Qing immediately ordered someone to find her, and she first moved a box of fireworks to the empty tent.

"There can't be open flames within five meters of here, otherwise the Ningqi people didn't blow up our tent first."

Su Qing also knew that the stakes were very high, so she specially sent two people to watch around, and after Song Xinshu got the materials that Su Qing had prepared for her, she rushed into the tent.

Song Xinshu studied in the tent for an afternoon, until it was dark, Su Qing walked in with a bowl of hot tea, saw that she was still lying on the table and studying, gently put the teacup in front of her and said, "Drink some tea, can you rest early tonight?" ”

Song Xinshu rubbed the sore quiet, you can't light candles here, and you can't see clearly at night, so she returned to the tent with Su Qing, and wanted to sit and talk with him, but after a while, the military came, saying that there were Ning Qi people at the border to investigate, and they still needed to endure the manning of the garrison.

Su Qing asked the military to go first, and then turned around and hugged Song Xinshu tightly: "Wait for me to come back." ”

Song Xinshu buried himself in his neck and took a deep breath and said, "I'll wait for you to come back." ”

Su Qing kissed her on the forehead and then turned to leave, she looked at the back of him leaving, her heart was full of worry.

After sending Su Qing away, Song Xinshu came to Su Xueqing's room to visit her, as soon as she walked in, Su Xueqing turned over and sat up, Mei'er was busy supporting her, for fear of touching her wounds.

"Xinshu, I came here but I couldn't help you." Su Xueqing said guiltily.

"Why didn't you help me, you saved Zhou Munan, and Zhou Munan helped Su Qing go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, didn't you make a great contribution!"

Hearing her comfort herself like this, Su Xueqing was also a lot relieved, took her hand and said, "I heard someone crying outside, is this battle very tragic?" ”

Song Xinshu sighed slightly and said: "This is very tragic in our eyes, but in the eyes of the soldiers, I am probably used to it, I really feel sorry for them." ”

Su Xueqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why hasn't there been any news from Zhou Munan in the past few days, but he left?" ”

"He's just tired and going to rest, and you're still thinking about him like this!"

Su Xueqing lowered her head and said: "I'm just worried about it, Mei'er has been busy these days, and she has to take care of me and help the military doctor take care of the wounded soldiers." ”

"Yes, I never thought that this little girl could have such great energy."

Mei'er heard them praise herself like this, she lowered her head embarrassedly, she was originally a child who lacked food and clothing, but now she doesn't worry about eating and drinking, and there are people who care about her, she is already very satisfied, she is grateful to them in her heart, and she has made up her mind to follow them, she only feels that no matter how much she does, she can't repay it.

Song Xinshu said to Su Xueqing what she was preparing, Mei'er was also listening carefully on the side, and suddenly she spoke: "Madam, you can use an iron box and kerosene wire." ”

Song Xinshu didn't react for a while, what she said: "Kerosene line? ”

"Yes, I see that most of the soldiers here use kerosene electric lamps, if there is a long kerosene line, then it can be ignited."

Song Xinshu also thought of these, but what she didn't expect was that Mei'er actually understood this, and said in surprise: "Mei'er, how can you also understand this?" ”

"When I was a child, my brother took me to stay in the refugee pile, and some of them defected to the bandits, and the bandits used these things to blow up other people's sheepfolds and then steal the sheep to eat."

Su Xueqing was surprised that she also had an older brother: "Then you are not without relatives and no reason, do you know where your brother is now?" ”

Mei'er's eyelashes flashed, and she lowered her head and said, "I don't know, they are going to sell me as a child daughter-in-law, my brother sent me out overnight, and I haven't seen him since, and besides, he is not my own brother, his own sister died, and he has been taking me with him since he saw that I have no parents." ”

After hearing this, the two of them sighed, no matter how they heard such a thing, it made people feel sad, and Song Xinshu also made up his mind in his heart, he must take Mei'er with him and would not abandon her.

Song Xinshu had been thinking about explosives, and the next morning before dawn, he hurriedly got up and came to the empty tent to start developing.

When night fell, Song Xinshu stretched his waist and finally did almost it, but he didn't know how powerful it was.

At this time, Su Qing also opened the door curtain and came in, and as soon as Song Xinshu saw him, he pounced on him and said, "Husband, I've done it!" ”

Su Qing touched her head and praised, "My wife is amazing, let me take a look." ”

He cautiously picked up the tin box on the table and asked, "Is this the one that contains gunpowder?" ”

"Yes, I've added some broken porcelain and iron pieces to it, why don't we test the power tonight?"

Su Qing called the military advisor and Zhou Munan and said to them, "The two of you will accompany me to a place tonight. ”

Although Jun Jun and Zhou Munan were confused, they still followed the two to an open place.

Su Qing and Song Xinshu buried the iron box in one place, stuffed the kerosene-stained noodles into the small hole reserved, and then pulled them to a long distance.

Song Xinshu asked the military and Zhou Munan to lie behind the stone, and then took out the fire fold from his arms and lit the kerosene line, and the sparks immediately rose and quickly burned towards the place where the iron box was buried.

Suddenly there was a loud explosion, the military and Zhou Munan were not prepared, they were all taken aback, or the military advisor reacted first, laughed and said: "If you use this thing to blow up the horses of the Ning Banner people, they will definitely scatter and flee!" ”

Zhou Munan also understood, and said, "Which of you made this is a bit interesting." ”

Su Qing looked at his wife proudly and said, "This is developed by my wife, thanks to her idea of using gunpowder from fireworks to make explosives." ”

Song Xinshu smiled and said, "But I haven't used them all, there is still a bundle of fireworks left, and we can set off them during the New Year." ”

Several of them were amused by her, and they returned to the tent to discuss the details.

The military looked at the map and said: "When the people of Ningqi come, they have to pass through a small road, if we can set up an ambush here and startle their horses, then it will not be difficult for us to go up and annihilate them in one fell swoop." ”

Su Qing also looked at it carefully, thought for a while and said, "But the Ningqi people are often stationed here, if we want to secretly plant bombs, I'm afraid we have to have a smaller soldier to not attract attention." ”

Zhou Munan volunteered and said: "I can! ”

Su Qing shook his head and said: "Don't make a mess, you are so conspicuous, I'm afraid those Ningqi people have already remembered your appearance, if you go and get caught, I'm afraid there will be no hope of survival." ”

He thought about it for a while, but there didn't seem to be such a person in the army, so who would bury this explosive?

This was the end of the conversation, if ordinary soldiers took the risk of burying them, the risk of being discovered was too great, and if these explosives fell into the hands of the Ning Qi people, they would definitely be used against them.

After discussing until midnight, Song Xinshu and Su Qing returned to the tent, and at this time, Mei'er came in with a bowl of chicken soup and said, "Sister Li said that you have worked hard, and made a bowl of chicken soup for me to deliver." ”

Song Xinshu saw that there was still a lot of chicken soup, so he was going to take a small bowl for Mei'er and Su Xueqingqing, and Mei'er stood aside obediently and waited.

Merr stood by and listened to their conversation, and when she heard that they lacked a petite man to do things, she said, "I can." ”

Song Xinshu hurriedly pulled her and said, "Do you know what this is for, it's to plant explosives on the path of the Ningqi people, and you can just take care of Xue Qing in the camp." ”

Mei'er looked at Song Xinshu and said seriously: "Madam, I can do it, I'm small, I won't be noticeable, and I also run fast!" ”

She has been thinking about what can help Song Xinshu to repay her for taking her in, she has always felt that she has not done enough, and now that she has the opportunity, she must help Mrs. do something.

Song Xinshu touched her head and said, "You are still a child, you can't do such a dangerous thing, you go and bring the chicken soup to Xue Qing." ”

She bent down and looked her in the eye and said, "I know your thoughts, but I won't allow you to be in danger, go back quickly." ”

Mei'er wanted to say something, but was stopped by Song Xinshu, so she had to go back with chicken soup.

After Mei'er left, Song Xinshu pressed Su Qing's distraction, so he gently pushed him and said, "You don't really want Mei'er to go, do you?" ”

Su Qing shook his head and said, "Naturally, it won't be, but I'm thinking about what to do." ”

"It's not too early, I have to get up early tomorrow, let's go to bed tonight."

Song Xinshu saw that his eyes had been red for the past few days, so he blew out the candle and pulled him to bed.

Early the next morning, she also got up with Su Qing and went to the kitchen to help Sister Li, she had just lost her son and had to work in the kitchen, Song Xinshu was always at ease.

As soon as Su Qing walked out of the tent, he felt that someone was following him behind him, he walked for a while, turned his head suddenly, lowered his head and looked, it turned out to be Mei'er, standing there holding hands, looking at him a little timidly.

"Mei'er, what's the matter?"

"General, I can really go and plant the bomb, you just let me try, I promise to do it well!"

Su Qing didn't expect her to be so persistent, and said: "If you go, Madam will be distressed, you are still a child, how can you do such a dangerous job?" ”

After Su Qing finished speaking, she left, and Mei'er stood in place, feeling a little annoyed, blaming herself for not being strong enough, otherwise she would have been able to help Madame do this.
