Chapter 20: Disappointment
"These soldiers are as fierce as wolves!" Tao Liuyi smiled stupidly.
"But I look at Yao Gongzi Si Swenwen, it's not ruthless at all!" Shen rubbed the hemp rope and said to himself.
"This soldier is not just carrying a knife and rushing and killing! And staff officers. Tao Qini looked at them and smiled when she heard this.
"What is a staff officer?" Tao Liuyi raised his big watery eyes and looked at her.
"It's the military advisor, who planned it." Tao Qini looked at him and thought for a while.
The deputy chief of the military department, in modern terms, is the deputy minister of defense.
No wonder I understand more, it turns out to be a family history. This gave Tao Qini confidence in him to look at the stars and discern the direction.
She really can't do this, don't talk about the stars in the last days, the gray sky, even the sun and moon can't be seen.
"I still remember that Yao Gongzi said at the time that he was from a certain background, anyway, he didn't rely on his family, so he felt very powerful." Tao Liuyi thought for a while and looked at Shen Shi Dao, "Mother, what kind of background are you from?" β
"It seems to be from a Jinshi!" Shen Shi stopped, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Yes, it is a jinshi, and it is like a champion who has to go through a scientific examination." β
Tao Qini nodded thoughtfully, his father was an important minister of the imperial court and was in charge of the military department, but he was a weak scholar who couldn't carry it on his shoulders and couldn't lift it in his hands.
If you don't have skills, you can have a smart head, know astronomy, know geography, and know the war strategy, you can still lead the troops, strategize, and win thousands of miles away.
Tao Qini slandered in her heart: For herself with black eyes, it seems that people are still a little useful!
The honor and disgrace of the family are all related to the emperor, so his attitude towards the emperor is a bit playful now?
The tip of his tongue licked his dry lips and slurped ...... is so naΓ―ve, and he reveals his family background, which is diametrically opposed to the character of this ruthless and very deep city.
Tao Qini stroked her forehead and looked at the burning fire in a daze.
Nowadays, one more person has more strength, and going out alive is the first priority!
The bonfire crackled, and Tao Qini took a burning stick and rowed over on the ground boredly, and rowed over again.
Grandma's, I don't have a watch, I can't even know the time.
"Mother, what time is it?" Tao Qini raised her head through the firelight and looked at Shen Shi and asked.
"What?" Shen raised his eyes to her and asked.
"I'm asking what time it is." Tao Qini hurriedly said when she heard this, this is awkward, she has to be cautious in her words and deeds, and automatically switch to 'ancient text'.
"I don't know about this?" Shen shook his head when he heard this.
"Don't we have to look at the hour?" Tao Qini swallowed her saliva and looked at her.
"What an hour! As soon as the sky is bright, just watch the sun during the day and estimate the time. Shen lowered his head and rubbed the hemp rope again.
Sunrise and sunset is the simple and simple way of life for most people here.
Shen rubbed the hemp rope and continued, "There is no time for the landlord to work, and people let them go to work when they want, and rest when they want." "There was no ebb or flow in the voice.
"I've heard that there is a husband in this city at night." Shen suddenly remembered, chuckled and said, "I'm asleep, even if there is a watch, we can't hear it." β
"I don't know if they found water?" Tao Liuyi looked at the dark surroundings and shuddered, like a black hole, ready to devour people at any time.
"We'll find out when they get back." Shen looked at their brother and sister and said, "You go to sleep first, I'll wait." β
"Mother, I'll wait." Tao Liuyi looked at the clay pot that had been boiled, took the straw rope pad and carried the clay pot into the Land Temple, and looked at it.
"Put it here!" Tao Qini's index finger pointed to the table.
Tao Liuyi hurriedly put the crockpot on the offering table, pinching his ears with both hands, and was burned.
"You go to bed quickly, and you will come to watch the night in the second half of the night." Shen Shi couldn't help but look at the two of them and said.
"Alright then!" Tao Qini hid from the clay pot far away, lying with her clothes.
Tao Liuyi returned to the temple gate and lay down on the thick hay, with a thick wooden stick in his hand.
Stick your chest against your back when you are hungry and force yourself to fall asleep, so that you don't feel hungry when you fall asleep.
Tao Qini woke up with a spirit, sat up, and glanced at the Land Temple, Tao Fifteen and Yao Changsheng had not come back yet.
Shen's sleepy head was little by little, and Tao Liuyi didn't forget to smash his mouth when he fell asleep, "Fragrant!" "It's a dream of something delicious, and it's all talking in a dream.
Tao Qini touched the crockpot on the side of the offering table, "Warm!" Looks like I've been asleep for a while. He got up and walked to Shen's side, patted her arm and said, "Mother, you can sleep!" I'll keep watch. β
Shen was taken aback, saw that it was her, patted his chest and said, "It's you!" β
"Hurry up and go to bed!" Tao Qini said as she lifted her to the base of the wall and pressed her against the hay.
Shen was so sleepy that he fell asleep after a while.
Tao Qini sat in front of the bonfire, folded the firewood, put it into the fire, and the flames flew away.
Tao Qini picked up the burning stick, walked out of the land temple, stood at the gate of the temple, and began to practice knife skills.
This body is too weak, and you have to improve your combat power. The knife technique is familiar with the heart, and the body's coordination ability must keep up in time.
Without the 'audience', Tao Qini can do whatever she wants, people go with the knife, and her heart moves with the knife. What she learns is all killing moves, with the purpose of killing, so this knife technique does not have any fixed routines, and the knife posture is even more ever-changing.
The knife is the courage of a hundred soldiers, and the knife technique is wide open and closed, natural and impeccable.
&*&
In the dead of night, a crescent moon hangs in the sky, and the starry sky seems to be at your fingertips, so beautiful!
Tao Qini was sweating, sat on the threshold, her ears moved slightly, and suddenly she lay on the ground again, slightly hooking the corners of her lips, "I'm back." β
Tao Qini stood up and looked at the wilderness, and the two figures who came hand in hand greeted her.
"Daddy!" Tao Qini looked the two of them up and down, except for sweating a little more and being a little tired, she was not injured.
"Let's go, let's go back." Tao fifteen said in a hoarse voice, "Here you go." He handed the knife in his hand to Tao Qini.
"Where's the torch?" Tao Qini said as she walked.
"It's long gone, there's no grease, the burning stick won't last long, and it's extinguished as soon as the wind blows." Yao Changsheng's tone was a little unkind, and his voice was hoarse.
Get! There is no need to ask this tone, there is certainly no good news.
"Dad, can you see the way without torches?" Tao Qini looked at him worriedly and said.
"Why are you worried that I will fall into the river while walking! I wish I could fall into the river now. Tao 15 swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty.
"Don't say it, don't say it, go back and say it." Tao Qini listened with difficulty.
She is afraid of long-term malnutrition, and is prone to night blindness, and she cannot see at night.
Thankfully, that hasn't happened yet.
