Chapter 438: The Old General's Hindhand

He Jingjing remembered that when she left, she asked the second dog next door to help take care of her family's land, and she took care of it very well when she came back before, and when she passed by her own land this time, it was also barren inside.

"Is there anyone? Is there anyone?" He Jingjing shouted all the way, but no one responded to her, and the village seemed to have become a ghost village with no people.

As soon as she thought of this, He Jingjing felt a little cautious, and stood closer to Ye Haixuan.

"Let's go home and get some rest. He Jingjing felt that she was a little tired and said to Ye Haixuan.

So the group came to He Jingjing's previous home, wiped the dust a little, and sat down to rest.

"It's getting dark now, and everyone has been on the road for a day, so let's eat. He Jingjing felt that she was a little hungry and said to Ye Haixuan.

Ye Haixuan was also hungry, so naturally there was no reason to refuse. Although after coming here, the situation was very different from what I thought, but only when I was full did I have the strength to continue to investigate the case.

As soon as they heard that they were going to eat, the soldiers brought by Ye Haixuan couldn't sit still all of a sudden, after all, everyone knew how delicious He Jingjing's food was.

It's a great honor to be able to eat the food cooked by General Ye's wife again today! This trip was not in vain!

"You can just find something to come back, meat or vegetarian. "He Jingjing is not picky, as long as it is something that can be eaten, she can make delicious meals.

"Okay!" These soldiers disappeared all of a sudden, He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan looked at each other, and they both felt that these soldiers were quite cute.

"Haixuan, let's clean up the kitchen, it's been useless for too long. He Jingjing looked at the dusty kitchen and said to Ye Haixuan.

Ye Haixuan naturally had no reason to refuse, nodded, and followed He Jingjing to clean up.

Husband and wife, the work is fast, and the soldiers who went out to look for ingredients have not come back, He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan have finished cleaning.

"I didn't expect the eldest young master of the Ye family to be so good at work. ”

He Jingjing originally thought that Ye Haixuan, as the eldest young master of the Ye family, must have never done such trivial things. Thinking of the messy kitchen after Ye Haixuan cooked for me last time, He Jingjing was ready to complete all the work by herself.

However, Ye Haixuan's performance was beyond He Jingjing's expectations, and he was very quick to work, and he could work independently without He Jingjing's command.

"I still learned a lot in the barracks. Looking at his hands that were a lot rougher, Ye Haixuan sighed.

Life really teaches you to grow!

The soldiers who had gone out to look for food while chatting and laughing also returned, all with red faces and many living creatures in their hands.

"I have beaten so much. He Jingjing said in surprise as she looked at the things these soldiers were carrying.

"It's a little bit more. "The soldiers didn't stop the car all of a sudden, and accidentally looked for too much.

"It's okay, you've worked hard today, I'll do it all. ”

So today's dinner table has saliva chicken, crispy duck, stewed goose, and many small wild vegetables.

Looking at the things on the table, He Jingjing always felt that something was missing.

"What are you thinking? Why don't you come to dinner?"

Watching the soldiers look at these dishes one by one, Ye Haixuan also swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva and asked He Jingjing.

"I wonder if something is missing. He Jingjing frowned and said to Ye Haixuan.

"What's missing?" Ye Haixuan asked with a strange look at He Jingjing.

"I remember! Lack of rice steamed buns!" He Jingjing patted her head and said to Ye Haixuan excitedly.

Ye Haixuan nodded, everyone was attracted by the food on the table, and forgot that they had to eat some rice steamed buns to replenish their strength.

"Go and see if there is any rice or noodles in other houses, and leave some silver, even if we borrow them. ”

He Jingjing took out some broken silver from her purse and gave it to the soldiers, and the soldiers ran out to find rice and noodles after receiving the order.

"Let's go check it out, it's a pre-dinner exercise. He Jingjing pulled the reluctant Ye Haixuan and walked out of the house, going door to door to see if there was any grain in stock.

However, to the surprise of He Jingjing and the others, the entire village seemed to be empty, and there was nothing left.

The quilts and food in the house were all gone, and only some furniture remained.

"General, county lord, we have searched all over and there is no food left. After looking around, the soldiers returned to He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan's side, and returned the silver in their hands to He Jingjing.

He Jingjing nodded and accepted the silver.

"In that case, let's go back to dinner first. He Jingjing said thoughtfully to everyone, and He Jingjing was silent all the way.

"But what do you see?" Ye Haixuan asked He Jingjing with interest.

"The food at home is gone, what does this mean?" He Jingjing asked Ye Haixuan rhetorically.

"The fact that the peasants are very attached to food only shows that their departure was voluntary and premeditated. Ye Haixuan's remarks were supported by He Jingjing.

Indeed, the villagers left on their own accord and took all the food and bedding from their homes with them.

After returning home, He Jingjing beckoned everyone to eat.

"The county lord's cooking is so delicious!" the soldiers drank the soup after a gust of wind and clouds.

As a cook, he naturally hopes that the things he makes will be eaten cleanly, He Jingjing looked at the empty bowl on the table with satisfaction and burped.

"Second brother, do you see smoke in the room in front of you?"

In a cave in the mountain behind the village, Li Laohan pointed to Liu Lao'er and pointed to the house where He Jingjing was.

"Is there a fire under the mountain?" asked Liu Laoer, his eyes widening and looking at the place where the smoke was rising.

"I didn't look like there was a fire, it looked like someone was cooking. After looking at it for a long time, Li Laohan slowly said to Liu Laoer.

"Are those people back?" asked Liu Lao Er, frightened and frightened.

"If those people come back, it will definitely be a lot of smoke, and now there is only one family, and it will definitely not be them who have come back. ”

The village chief stood up and analyzed everyone, and everyone nodded, deeply agreeing.

"The village chief is right, it's definitely not those people who have come back, but who will cook in the village now?" asked Li Laohan suspiciously.

"Take a closer look, whose house is the smoke?" the village chief squinted his eyes for a long time, but he still couldn't see whose house started the smoke.

"I look like it's Lao He's family smoking. Liu Lao Er thought about it and said uncertainly.

"Is it the home of the county lord of Pingyang?" the village chief was a little excited when he heard this.

"That's right, it's their family, they must have come back to save us!" Liu Lao Er patted his thigh, stood up excitedly and took the village chief's hand and said.
