Chapter Eighty-Eight: Going Home
The snowflakes were falling bigger and bigger, and from the mountain, the whole land was white.
When the kang hole was filled with wood fire and lit, it didn't take long for the tent to warm up.
Lying on the hot kang and covered with soft animal skins, the soldiers realized how wonderful this thing called the kang was.
Snow fell overnight when the next morning came.
The rapid sound of tapping woke the soldiers from their sleep.
Loose reflexively sat up from the bed, got dressed haphazardly, and was about to run out.
At this time, Wu Changxi stopped him and said: "You don't need to go out to exercise today, the chief has an order, take a day off." ”
When the soldiers heard this, they immediately cheered.
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
Song hurriedly asked, "Captain Wu!" Can I go home? ”
Xi nodded and said, "Yes!" ”
Song was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Chief Xie Wu! ”
After finishing dressing, he ran out of the tribe in a hurry.
After joining the army for so long and not returning home once, Song missed his wife and children at home, and ran up on the snow regardless of the thick snow along the way.
The military camp and Qicheng were not far away, and looking at the snow-capped city wall, Song was full of emotion in his heart.
When he walked into the tribe and looked at the smoke curling from the thatched roofs, he breathed a sigh of relief.
There are these smokes to prove that there is a fire kang in the thatched house, but his heart is worried, when he left, his small house, there is no fire kang, such a cold weather, I don't know what happened to his wife and children.
In his anxiety, Song didn't care about looking around, and ran in the direction of his house without stopping.
When I came to my little house, I saw that a fence had been built around my small house, and two gray chickens were foraging in the yard.
Song was a little curious, when did he have a domestic animal in his house, could his house be occupied by others, the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became, and hurriedly pushed open the fence gate and walked to the courtyard.
The sudden intrusion to get the humans made the two chickens in the courtyard panic, and they quickly clucked and hid to the side.
The movement in the courtyard alarmed the owner of the house, and as the curtain of the thatched house was lifted, a familiar face appeared in front of Song's eyes.
"Loose?"
"Red Cloud!"
"Why are you back?"
"Today is a day off in the army!"
"Oh, it's snowing outside, don't stand, come in."
Song let out an "oh", and followed Hongyun into his small house with some doubts.
The house was dim, with only a faint glow of fire in the kang hole.
After Hongyun entered the house, he sat on the straw mat on the ground, bowing his head and spinning the thread silently.
Song saw his child, who was lying on the kang and falling asleep, sat down lightly on the side of the kang, put the felt hat aside, and said softly: "Why is there a fire kang at home?" ”
Hongyun said while spinning the thread: "This is a favor from the society, and the two chickens outside are also divided by the society." ”
Song was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "What is the share in the society?" ”
Hongyun said with a smile: "Yes, not long after you joined the army, the society built a fire kang for the families of soldiers who had a separate place to live, and also gave some domestic animals, I got two chickens, and some rabbits." ”
"I can't imagine that the tribe can treat us like this, I'm really ashamed of the tribe!"
Song sighed and said.
When Hongyun heard this, he sighed: "Yes, the tribe is still very good to us, the winter is cold, we can't collect much to eat, and a woman like me can't do anything, I was worried that there would be no food, after all, if I don't work, there is no food." ”
"And then?"
Song Wenyan felt a pain in his heart and asked.
"Later, the tribe said that women could weave straw mats and other things in exchange for food."
Song looked at the thread ball in Hongyun's hand and the frozen red hand, walked over and said, "You go and stay on the kang for a while, I'll get it." ”
Hongyun smiled: "You are a man, how can you get this, you don't have to worry, I can support myself." ”
Song sighed and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, isn't life much better now than before? At least we don't have to be frozen, like other tribal slaves, to be killed at will, I'm content. ”
Red Cloud said leisurely.
He said in a deep voice: "I'll tell you one thing, don't tell anyone else." ”
"What's wrong?" Hongyun paused in his hand and wondered.
"The tribe may be going to war, if I can make meritorious service this time, you don't have to suffer so much."
Song said excitedly.
When Hongyun heard this, his expression darkened and said, "There is another war?" ”
Song smiled and said, "You don't have to worry, I won't die so easily, I train hard, and I still have to watch my children grow up." ”
Hongyun sighed and continued to spin the thread silently.
In Yang Hao's big tent, the charcoal fire in the clay pot is burning, and compared with the ice and snow outside, it is very warm.
"Done?"
Yang Hao asked.
"Chief, the matter has been completed, and the three of them have entered the country of Sanyu, which is going well."
Yang Hao nodded and said, "This matter can't be leaked out for a while, remember?" ”
"I understand!"
"Well, the matter of contact with those three people will be left to you, you must be careful, you must not be detected by the three countries, this is a matter of life and death for our clan."
"Rest assured, the leader of the three kingdoms can't think of the leader's plan at all, as long as the plan is successful, the three kingdoms will die, and then the strength of our clan will be able to be strong here."
"What do you think of the strength of the Three Rainbow Kingdoms? How is the armament! ”
Yang Hao asked.
"I don't know how many specifically, but there are a lot of Tongge chariots, which are not comparable to our people."
The man said cautiously.
Yang Hao sneered when he heard this, and said, "You go back first, and I will pass you over if there is an arrangement." ”
"Subordinates retire!"
The man bowed and retreated.
"Hehe, since the country of Sanshu is so rich, then I will be disrespectful."
The first step of his plan has been completed, and as long as everything goes well, these three kingdoms are already in his pocket.
Thinking of the large number of war horses and copper mines in the Three Kingdoms, Yang Hao was extremely greedy.
As long as the Great Qi tribe after destroying the Sanshu Kingdom and obtaining copper and war horses, its strength will definitely skyrocket.
As long as he resists Xia Qi's counterattack, his momentum has been achieved, and there will be a foothold in the world.
Whether it is war or peace, there is room for maneuver.
"Xia Qi, we will do it again in the future, I have to see if the wheel of history continues to move forward."
Yang Hao punched the table, his expression a little hideous.
Matsu, who stayed at home all night, woke up early before dawn.
Just as Song was about to walk out of the room, the voice of the red cloud sounded.
"Going back?"
Song nodded and said: "There is a rule in the army, it will be very serious if you don't have a time, you can sleep for a while, I will come back next time I take a break." ”
After speaking, he lifted the straw curtain and walked out of the house. looked at the moon in the sky and sighed, put on a felt hat, faced the wind and snow, and rushed towards the barracks.
