Chapter 495: The army mutinied

The warm ointment was smeared on her body, but Chi Wan didn't feel comfortable, but quite uncomfortable. Because of the arrival of winter, Chi Wan's wound healed more slowly, and her back was inflamed again, and the wound was difficult to heal.

"It's okay, I'm here, it's good to keep you." The Ninth Prince comforted Chi Wan like this, Chi Wan could only cooperate with him, what could he do if he didn't cooperate, could it be that the wound wouldn't heal, I don't believe you?

The arrival of winter has made the days especially difficult.

Originally, Chi Wan could only lie in bed because of her injury, but now that it is cold, she doesn't even have a chance to go out. But she'd been in bed for so long that she really wanted to go out and have a look.

One night of the north wind, Chi Wan slept very unsteadily, and woke up very late the next day, vaguely feeling that it seemed too bright outside.

At this time, Xie Yutang pushed the door in, bringing in a lot of cold wind, although he quickly closed the door, but Chi Wan still saw with sharp eyes that it seemed to be white outside, and she asked in surprise, "It's snowing?" ”

Xie Yutang bowed slightly, confirming her guess, "It's been a night." ”

Hearing this, Chi Wan suddenly became interested, it was fun to snow, she could have a snowball fight, build a snowman, and do a lot of things, but when she thought of her current appearance, Chi Wan pursed her mouth again.

"What's the matter, weren't you quite happy just now?" Xie Yutang walked up to her and scratched her nose.

Ji Wan frowned in protest, "Don't move my nose, I want to say, it's fun to snow, I want to go out and see the snow." ”

Xie Yutang refused without saying a word, "No, if you want to see the snow, you have to wait until you get better, the Nine Princes said, your body resistance is very poor now, as long as the weather is a little colder, it is easy to get wind chill, you look at your current appearance, you have wind chill again, what should you do?" ”

Knowing that Xie Yutang was telling the truth, Chi Wan had to reluctantly compromise.

But Xie Yutang couldn't see her lost appearance, and when he saw her like this, he went to the snow to catch a few snow balls for her and came back, and when Chi Wan saw it, her eyes narrowed.

Because there were still a lot of affairs to deal with, Xie Yutang couldn't stay here for a long time, just glanced at Chi Wan, and was about to go out again.

Ji Wan hesitated to stop him, "You seem to have ...... lately Very busy? ”

Xie Yutang paused for a moment, and then hooked the corners of his mouth, "It's a little busy, but I can come to see you in the evening, if you feel bored, read more books." ”

Chi Wan didn't want to say this, but when Xie Yutang was interrupted like this, she forgot what she was going to say, and she didn't remember until the Nine Princes came over that she remembered that recently, Xie Yutang seemed to be extremely busy.

"Lord Wang, is there something going on outside?" Ji Wan asked uneasily.

She can't go out now, and she is confined to the house every day, but she can still feel that something doesn't seem right.

The Ninth Prince waved his hand as usual, "It's okay, don't think about it." ”

"If there's something, be sure to tell me, I don't want to be left in the dark."

"Well, I'll tell you."

Chi Wan couldn't see anything from the face of the Nine Princes, but she was also relieved.

At this time, in the big camp.

"What, I don't have anything to eat today, so I can only eat these?" One person looked at the porridge that could almost be seen to the end, and shouted with an ugly face.

And after he shouted like this, followed by others, everyone else also shouted.

"Why are you only giving us these, it's so cold, and we have to hurry, we can't resist eating these at all."

"That's right, the prince and the general should also be considerate of us."

This group of people is making trouble, and it is logistical.

For several days, the anger of not having enough to eat was all sprinkled on the logistics, and they rushed to the kitchen and began to grab food, taking whatever they saw, and they looked like homeless people, not at all like a regular army.

It is no wonder that they are just ordinary people, not real military backgrounds.

"Don't rob it, don't rob it, it's tomorrow's meal, you're all done, see what you eat tomorrow?" The logistics cook shouted.

But people are hungry, they don't listen at all, they just want to fill their stomachs. So, the only grain was turned out, and everyone fell silent when they looked at the little food left.

It turned out that the general and the prince did not withhold their rations, but really did not have any food in stock.

Seeing this scene, everyone panicked, you look at me, I look at you, and they all see worry in each other's eyes. There is only so much food left, so what will they do next, won't they starve to death?

This group of people couldn't stand the strict rule of the King of Chu, and they didn't usually eat much, so they followed the Nine Princes and Xie Yutang and them, but they never expected that following the Nine Princes and them, it didn't seem to be much better, and they still starved to death in the end, so it was better to die directly in their hometown, at least they could return to their roots.

"What are you doing here?" Just when everyone was in a lot of thoughts, a majestic voice suddenly sounded, and everyone came back to their senses.

I saw Xie Yutang striding over, his eyes swept over the mess on the ground, and then fell on the faces of the people who took the lead in making trouble, and the few people who saw it couldn't help but shudder, not daring to meet his gaze.

Seeing that he had already deterred everyone, Xie Yutang looked away and said in a soft voice, "I know that I have wronged everyone recently, and the prince and I are also thinking of a way to solve the problem of food, so please take care of it more recently." ”

The crowd was as quiet as a chicken, and suddenly someone said, "We can eat less, but the children can't, they are still growing their bodies, where can they not eat enough?" ”

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone immediately began to talk about it.

Xie Yutang raised his hand and pressed it down, his eyes swept over everyone, "In extraordinary times, please be considerate." ”

Looking at the expressions on everyone's faces, it seems that they all have complaints. Xie Yutang didn't want to worry about them too much. These are just ordinary people, if they were replaced by his former soldiers, he would have done it a long time ago.

Although the law does not blame the public, the few people who can take the lead still have to deal with it. A few troublemakers were taken out and beaten with a few sticks. But the situation is not much better, and people are panicked every day.

In the tent, everyone was discussing this.

The Nine Princes and Xie Yutang came forward to appease them several times, which made the situation gradually improve. However, there are still some people who have made up their minds to leave. They gathered around and quietly discussed.

Xie Yutang was very busy, the northwest was already very poor, there were a lot of them, and they didn't know where to borrow food if they wanted to borrow it. And if this continues, the army, which is not well-organized, will be dispersed again.

Chi Wan didn't know anything about this. She was injured, and the weather was cold, so she could only stay in her room every day, except for the Nine Princes and Xie Yutang who came to see her, she almost never saw anyone else.

However, the two of them were also very busy, especially the army mutiny, and they needed to appease the people, so Chi Wan was basically the only one in the room.

She can only read books to relieve her boredom, but every day when she looks like this, Xie Yutang is worried that she will see her eyes badly, and after persuading her a few times, Chi Wan gave up using books to pass the time, and she was bored and almost counted her fingers.

On this day, Xie Yutang came in excitedly, and it was the first time for Chi Wan to see him with such an outward emotion, and she couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that there was some good news. turned out to see the other party take out a snow-white thing from his arms, the thing was fluffy and looked very cute.

Ji Wan's gaze was immediately attracted, and she said eagerly, "What is this?" ”

Xie Yutang pinched the back of the little thing's neck and sent it to Chi Wan. Leng Buding met a pair of round eyes, and Chi Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Ferret, this is a ferret!" ”

Seeing that she likes it, Xie Yutang also hooked the corners of her mouth slightly, Wanwan hasn't shown such a smile for a long time, it seems that she didn't catch this thing by grabbing it and giving it to her. It was in vain that he had almost run all over the nearby mountains to finally find such a small thing.

"Give it to me." Chi Wan stretched out her hand, and Xie Yutang sent the ferret into her arms and reminded, "It may catch you, be careful." ”

But to his surprise, the ferret was very well-behaved, allowing Chi Wan to hold it in her arms, and obediently rubbing her clothes, which surprised her.

"Where it bites, you see how well-behaved it is."

Seeing this scene, Xie Yutang raised his eyebrows in some surprise, obviously when he was holding this thing, it strongly objected, and grabbed him, fortunately, the claws were not very sharp, and the scars were not big, how could he get into Chi Wan's arms, so well-behaved.

"It's still a cub, it's so cute." Chi Wan hugged the ferret in her arms, her eyes full of joy.

"It's really small, and it seems to like you."

Ji Wan touched the ferret's furry head and asked, "What's its name?" ”

"It's not up yet, you can give it one."

Chi Wan thought about it, it was called a ferret, and it was snow-white, "Call it Xiaoxue, you see how white and smooth its fur is." ”

In this way, the name of the ferret was decided, Chi Wan couldn't put it down and had to hold it almost every day, when the Nine Princes and Xie Yutang didn't have time to accompany her, she stayed with the ferret alone, and often talked to it to herself.

The ferret has round eyes and is very spiritual, and it seems to be able to really understand Chi Wan's words, such as asking her to pick something up, and it can accurately pick it up every time.

The Ninth Prince pushed the door in, and saw a snow-white furry ball on the ground holding something, and ran towards Chi Wan with a jump, and immediately smiled.

"This little thing has really become a sperm." He bent down to pick it up, but the ferret nimbly avoided it, "Yo, don't let me touch it yet." ”

Xie Yutang joked with a smile, "Ferrets also depend on people, probably because they think that the prince is not a good person." ”

The Ninth Prince sat down on the chair next to him and stretched lazily, "This king is not a good person?" There will be no good people in that world. ”
