The wounded soldiers around who could stand up also came over and put their hands on Sister Li's shoulders.

In the tent, only Sister Li's heart-rending cry could be heard, and there was a sudden sound of soldiers and horses outside, Song Xinshu walked out of the house and saw Su Qing riding a horse and leading the soldiers back.

Song Xinshu greeted him and watched Su Qing get off the horse, his armor was covered with blood and dust.

Su Qing turned over from the horse, walked to Song Xinshu and held her hand, looked at her worried eyes and said, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Song Xinshu saw him from beginning to end, and was relieved to make sure that he had nothing to do, and she said to Su Qing worriedly: "But Sister Li ......"

Su Qing nodded and said, "I know, where is the eldest sister now?" ”

Song Xinshu pointed to the tent behind him, Su Qing opened the curtain and walked in, I don't know when Sister Li had stopped crying, just holding her son's body in a daze.

The wounded soldiers around her are all around her, and usually Sister Li treats them no different from her own son, she will worry that they will not have enough to eat, and sew clothes for them, really as if her own mother is by her side.

Su Qing ordered the body to be moved to an empty tent, Sister Li followed behind with a blank expression, Song Xinshu wanted to step forward to accompany her, but Su Qing stopped her.

"Let her be alone for a while."

Song Xinshu couldn't understand this kind of pain, and he was afraid that he would say something wrong with his clumsy mouth, and now he lacked a cook, and he was not sure when the Ning Qi people would attack again, and the soldiers also needed physical strength.

Rather than stay there, she did what she could, and went to the kitchen and got busy.

Su Qing also came to the kitchen to help, and Song Xinshu hurriedly stopped his club: "You just came down from the battlefield, hurry up and take a rest, I'll just come here." ”

"You've come all the way, but I've asked you to do the rough work." Su Qing picked up a cabbage and said. "Originally, I couldn't sleep, so I might as well come and talk to you, and my heart will be more stable."

"Is it defended this time, the Ning Qi people are menacing, will we ......?"

Su Qing smiled at her and said, "No, don't you believe me?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I ......"

Su Qing came over and hugged Song Xinshu, buried his head in her neck socket and said, "I can only protect you by holding the defense line on this side of the frontier, as long as I think that you are waiting for me here, I will be invincible on the battlefield." ”

She felt her hot breath on her neck, and the fatigue of the night was gone, but when she heard footsteps outside, Song Xinshu still pushed him away.

"What if someone comes and sees it, you're a general, and you'll be gossiped about then."

"They will only envy."

Song Xinshu glanced at him with disgust and said, "You have become so flamboyant now, but you are the same as that Zhou Mu Nan." ”

Speaking of Zhou Munan, Song Xinshu remembered that he hadn't seen him all night, so he said: "I haven't seen him all night, where did he go?" ”

"He went to the battlefield with me, and I haven't seen him for a long time, he is very brave, and he rushes to the front at any time, as if he is not afraid of death."

He didn't expect Zhou Munan to appear beside him, so he got a soldier's armor out of nowhere, holding the long sword he was wearing with him in his hand, and rushed to the battlefield and began to slash.

In the past, he only thought that Zhou Munan was suave, but he didn't expect him to be so belligerent, and in the end, if he hadn't stopped him, I'm afraid he would have chased after the camp of the Chaoning bannermen.

Su Qing made a bowl of cabbage soup and said to Song Xinshu, "I'm going to visit Sister Li." ”

He came to the tent with the bowl of cabbage soup, he thought that he would hear Sister Li's sad cry at the door, but it was quiet around the tent.

He walked in and saw Sister Li lying on her son's body, motionless as if she was asleep.

He walked over, gently placed the bowl of cabbage soup next to her and said, "Sister, you were busy all night last night, and you didn't eat a bite, so drink a mouthful of hot soup." ”

Sister Li didn't seem to hear it, her eyes looked at a certain place with empty eyes, and she had long lost her usual radiant appearance.

Su Qing put his hand on Sister Li's shoulder and said, "Eldest sister, mourning, if you don't want to stay in the army, I can send someone to send you back." ”

At this time, Sister Li seemed to have discovered Su Qing's existence, she slowly shook her head and said, "I've been here for so many years, where else can I go?" ”

"You can place his body however you want, as long as you say it, I will definitely help you do it."

Originally, there was the presence of Sister Li's lubricant in the barracks, which was originally a man's barracks, and there was a little more warmth on weekdays, Su Qing was very grateful to Sister Li, and now there was only this thing he could do for Sister Li.

"Let him sleep with his dead brothers, they are so good on weekdays, and they can have a companion over there......"

Sister Li cried as she spoke, Su Qing saw that her hands were covered with stains mixed with blood and dirt, she grabbed her son's clothes fiercely, but he couldn't get up and call her "mother" anymore.

Su Qing's nose couldn't help but be sour, he held Sister Li's hand and said, "Eldest sister, the soldiers in this army are all your sons, we will definitely be filial to you for your son in the future, and you should only be our mother." ”

Su Qing was very afraid that she would not be able to think about it for a while and do something stupid, so many people had died here, and he didn't want to see any more lives disappear.

Sister Li is now full of pictures of her son training to herself, she had fantasized a lot of beautiful things at that time, but she didn't expect all her dreams to be shattered tonight.

She couldn't accept the fact that she wanted to hate anyone, but in this situation, she didn't even know who she hated.

Su Qing was by her side all the time, and after a long time, she suddenly heard someone outside reporting: "General, the time has come!" ”

Su Qing whispered to Sister Li, "Sister, the time has come." ”

It was a custom in the barracks to bury the bodies of the dead soldiers at the end of each charge, originally because they feared the outbreak of the plague in the summer, but over time, it became a tradition in the army.

At the end of each war, there is not much time for everyone to express their sorrows, only by quickly cleaning up the battlefield, can we devote ourselves energetically to the next battle.

Sister Li naturally knew this rule, she finally stroked her son's face, couldn't bear to turn her head over, and said, "Carry it away." ”

Su Qing called two soldiers and carried the body away, and the people in the entire barracks gathered together, and they wanted to send off their former comrades who had fought side by side with him.

More than a dozen corpses were pushed on the cart in front, and the soldiers were led by Su Qing to follow behind and come to the place where the soldiers were buried.

The suona resounded across the pale sky like a sad cry, Song Xinshu looked towards the place where the suona sounded, and it was still the man with a full beard, holding a suona in his hand, puffing out his cheeks and blowing hard.

The cold wind blew on her face like a knife, and it also blew Sister Li's heart-rending cry, she walked over and grabbed Sister Li's shoulder, and she lay on her shoulder in pain.

After the burial, Song Xinshu followed Su Qing back to the camp, and she couldn't relieve the grief along the way.

Su Qing saw her sadness and said to her: "This is common knowledge in the army, how can there be immortals in war, those recruits were just like you when they first came, but after a long time, it is not the same as at the beginning." ”

Song Xinshu sighed slightly and said: "Swords and guns have no eyes, if only we could end the war quickly and let these soldiers return to their hometowns." ”

Sister Li's son can still call his mother before he dies, but how many young soldiers have fallen on the battlefield without anything, and some don't even have warm clothes.

She sighed with emotion in her heart, but she also knew that there was no way to do it, and these facts could not be changed with a word of pity.

When they passed by the grain and grass warehouse, she suddenly wanted to go in to see how long the grain and grass could last, so she walked in with Su Qing.

She lifted the cloth and suddenly saw a box of things wrapped in paper, and she was wondering what it was, and the moment her fingers touched it, she remembered.

This is the fireworks she brought from Jinling City, which was originally thought to be the New Year when she arrived here, so she brought some fireworks to set off, and it would be a good New Year's flavor at that time.

But now a bold idea flashed through her head, these fireworks were gunpowder, and if they were gunpowder, why couldn't they be made into explosives?

She was taken aback by the idea, but it wasn't impossible to think about it, she remembered reading a book when she was bored, and it was about gunpowder.

Seeing that she was stunned and didn't move, Su Qing held her shoulder with concern and said, "Xinshu, what are you thinking, are you still thinking about what happened just now?" ”

Song Xinshu looked back into his eyes and said, "Su Qing, maybe I can help you this time." ”

Su Qing said suspiciously: "What do you mean......"

Seeing her so solemn, Su Qing also became serious, only to see her say excitedly: "This is the fireworks I brought from Jinling City, the gunpowder in them can be made into explosives, and I brought a lot, if you make good use of it, maybe you can take down the Ning Qi people in one fell swoop!" ”

Su Qing had never heard of this kind of explosives, and he had some doubts: "Is this feasible, although there are ordinary bombs on the battlefield, they are not very powerful, and they can't be detonated when they taste, but they have never heard of being made with fireworks." ”

"Surely, I've read a book about how to make it, can you let me try it?"
