Chapter 494: The experience of being a deserter
Lin Jinxiu was thinking about how to collect medicine.
"Miss Lin, do you have any other dishes today?" The assistant chef in the room asked.
"Let's see what kind of wild vegetables and game we can pick today."
Lin Jinxiu personally said that she wanted to eat rabbits a little, because of the leather chicken, she couldn't bear to eat the pheasants with beautiful coats now, and she always felt that she was blaspheming the beasts.
"If we can pick something better today, we'll add food."
Now that the military rations are relatively sufficient, Lin Jinxiu put a little less of his red beans, and let everyone keep their stomachs to eat delicious game.
Although in the eyes of the people of Zhou Guo, they are struggling to breathe, but in fact, these people can't live too comfortably.
Grain and game are eaten in rotation, and they are not afraid that they will not have enough to eat, but they are afraid that they will get tired of eating.
After breakfast, Pei Jue also came to Lin Jinxiu with his own medicine basket.
"Doctor Pei, you don't need to bring a medicine basket." Looking at Pei Jue's half-human-high basket that was about to catch up with him, Lin Jinxiu hurriedly waved his hand to remind him not to be so troublesome.
"My box can fully hold all the herbs and wild herbs back." She explained.
Since the military rations had been consumed, Lin Jinxiu's dragon blood box at this time had been much empty, and he could store medicinal materials in it.
"Okay." Pei Jue is also a very talkative person, and he has already decided that Lin Jinxiu is Princess Yan in his heart, so naturally he is respectful and does not dare to offend.
Lin Jinxiu told him twice that he couldn't change it, and in the end Lin Jinxiu could only go with him.
Two people who didn't know martial arts embarked on a journey up the mountain to find wild vegetables, and when they were about to leave the barracks, Lin Jinxiu suddenly heard Mu Siyan's voice.
"The shopkeeper is waiting for me." Mu Siyan ran over in three steps and two steps, "The prince said to let you take me with you, it's safer." ”
Lin Jinxiu thought about it for a while, and it was obviously much safer to take Mu Siyan, so she agreed.
The three of them set out towards the mountain, led by Mu Siyan, and walked through the safe location determined by the patrol, looking for wild vegetables and medicinal herbs everywhere.
This is the first time Lin Jinxiu has taken the initiative to go out since he came to the barracks, and the most he does on weekdays is to go to the river to fetch water.
Now that she has become the supervisor of the house, some things naturally don't need her to do, and she is also idle.
Although it is early summer, there is still a lot of dew in the mountains and forests in the morning, with a slight coolness.
Lin Jinxiu's body has been strengthened by space, and her perception of cold is slightly slighter than that of ordinary people, but Pei Jue is not like this.
He was a weak scholar, although he fought with the soldiers, but he had not suffered much in the barracks, and now he came out with Lin Jinxiu, because his clothes were too thin, and his lips were a little white from the cold.
Lin Jinxiu and Mu Siyan both noticed that he seemed to tremble slightly.
"Doctor Pei, are you okay?" Lin Jinxiu was a little worried.
Although Pei Jue's body is weak, his temperament is obviously hard enough, and seeing that Lin Jinxiu is fine, he is embarrassed to say that he is cold.
"It doesn't matter." Pei Jue hurriedly shook his head and quietly wrapped his clothes tightly, "Miss Lin doesn't have to worry. ”
It's strange that Lin Jinxiu is not worried, Pei Jue is the only one in the army, if he is sick, the other soldiers will be in trouble if they have a cold and cold.
gave Mu Siyan a look, Lin Jinxiu echoed and walked forward, Mu Siyan understood what Lin Jinxiu meant.
When Lin Jinxiu walked to the front and turned his back to him and Pei Jue, he took off his clothes to Pei Jue.
"I'm from the martial arts, and I'm really angry." Mu Siyan explained, "Miss Lin has the care of the prince on weekdays, and naturally she wears a lot, it seems that she has been wronged, and I will ask the prince for instructions when I go back, and add more clothes to the doctor." ”
Pei Jue knew that his body was relatively weak, and obviously felt a little ashamed, so he sighed:
"Alas, since I contracted the wind chill a few years ago, my health has not been better, and now I am a drag in the camp."
Mu Siyan was polite to him: "Doctor Pei, don't say that, after all, in the barracks, everyone's body is counting on you alone." ”
Pei Jue nodded: "I will not disappoint the prince." ”
Lin Jinxiu walked ten steps ahead of the two people, eavesdropping on the conversation behind them, and smiled slightly.
This Pei Jue is also a rather stubborn person.
Solving Pei Jue's physical problems, Lin Jinxiu and his party continued to walk towards the mountains, and several people picked herbs and wild vegetables on the roadside and cliffs, and soon, Pei Jue found the target he was looking for.
"This." Pei Jue pointed to a purple weed on the ground, "This thing is called Spring Fern, it is a kind of wild vegetable that is a specialty in the mountains of Yongzhou, although it is called a wild vegetable, but it will be poisoned if you eat too much." ”
Lin Jinxiu naturally understood what he meant: "In other words, we are going to pick more of these wild vegetables next, and it is best to let the spies of Zhou Guo know that we have picked this kind of thing?" ”
Pei Jue nodded, uprooted the wild vegetable, and handed it to Lin Jinxiu: "This is the prince's strategy, the key to making the enemy relax their vigilance." ”
They whispered this to the deed, lest spies from enemy nations follow them and learn of their plans.
"Okay." Lin Jinxiu recorded the appearance of this herb and helped Pei Jue find it, not caring at all about the fact that this thing was poisonous.
Put things into the dragon's blood box, Lin Jinxiu did a special experiment, she found that the things put in it did not need to be sorted out by herself, and the things she needed could be taken out after a little time in her heart, and she was not afraid of being crushed, which was really convenient.
"This is Baiqi, this is ginseng......" If Lin Jinxiu came to pick wild vegetables and wild fruits this time, then Pei Jue mainly came to collect herbs this time.
For an accompanying military doctor, the more types of herbs in his hand, the more people he can save, and Lin Jinxiu stood beside him, completely acting as his carry-on package.
In order not to let Zhou Guo see the clues, Pei Jue was carrying a bag on his body, and all the spring ferns were packed into this bag, and the remaining precious herbs were all carried by Lin Jinxiu, without revealing a trace at all.
Following Pei Jue and Lin Jinxiu, Mu Siyan acted as the bodyguard and picking tool for the two of them, but I don't know why, he actually refused to use light skills when picking wild vegetables, and would rather use ropes to climb the cliff.
Just after the three of them passed a mountain pass, there were two people in ambush in the bushes in the distance, and the two of them had mosquito-bitten bags on their faces and hands, and they had obviously been squatting here for a long time, bored.
"When will I be able to go back?" One of them ran out of patience and looked at his colleague and said, "I'm running out of dry food, and if I don't go back, I'll probably have to leave it here." ”
The other snorted and slapped up: "What are you talking about, didn't the general confess, can we go back after we finish eating dry food?" ”
"We've been squatting here for three days, and we haven't seen any action from them, is it in the wrong position?"
The man was impatient, and wrote the words "I want to go home" on his face.
"Well, right now, there will definitely be someone!"
The other person comforted the impatient one and swept around privately, only to see Lin Jinxiu and his party coming from afar, seeing that they were about to enter their realm.
"Let's see if it's someone coming!" The two people in the bushes immediately became excited, and they were impatient and instantly silent, looking at Lin Jinxiu, their eyes were completely like looking at their prey.
"Do you want to do it?" The impatient man asked.
The person next to him hurriedly shook his head: "The taller person looks like he knows martial arts, hide it, don't be discovered!" ”
"What kind of martial arts does he know, you see that he has to climb up to pick a wild vegetable, don't worry, he will never find us."
The two of them held their breath and wondered what Lin Jinxiu was doing.
Seeing that Lin Jinxiu lowered her head and went to pick wild vegetables, and put them in the bag in Pei Jue's hand after picking, she looked very handy, but it was just ......
"Do you see what kind of wild herb she is holding in her hand?" The two carefully identified the things in Lin Jinxiu's hand.
"Like, Spring Fern?"
The two people who came to the conclusion were quite shocked, Yan Guo had actually fallen to the point of eating spring ferns?
If this is the case, then wouldn't it be easy for them to take advantage of the poisonous attack of the spring fern and send troops to attack again?
This is great news.
"The general is mighty, he knows that after Yan Guo is cut off from military rations, he can't beat us at all!"
"Go back and tell the general now, our plan has been completely successful!"
After confirming that the two had left, Mu Siyan turned his head to look in the direction where the two had left: "It seems that they have taken the bait." ”
Lin Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, when Mu Siyan secretly told them that there were enemy soldiers in the bushes just now, she was frightened, afraid that she would make some mistakes here and be discovered by the other party.
"Relax, shopkeeper, they're just ordinary scouts, as long as you don't get suspicious, they won't find out." Mu Siyan looked at Lin Jinxiu's nervous face and felt a little funny.
Another purple spring fern was found, and Lin Jinxiu stepped forward and uprooted it and stuffed it into the bag in Pei Jue's hand: "It seems that you understand quite well." ”
"I think I'm the one who ran away from the Scouts back then." Mu Siyan didn't seem to want to mention the old time, "I may not have fought well in the past, but I have a lot of experience as a deserter." ”
Knowing his previous story, Lin Jinxiu just smiled, but after Pei Jue heard Mu Siyan's remarks, he looked at him with more contempt.
Among the military, the most despised are deserters.
"So now?" Lin Jinxiu asked him with a hint of ridicule, "Do you still want to be a deserter?" ”
Mu Siyan smiled: "Back then, because of his young age, he did whatever it took to survive, but now, what is there to do as a deserter?" If I wanted to be a deserter, I wouldn't have come here. ”
That's right.
Lin Jinxiu shrugged his shoulders, Mu Siyan took the initiative to come here, just like himself, although he didn't understand what he was coming for with him, but if he escaped in a hurry again, he might as well go back to the state capital and continue to open his Tongque Terrace.
