Chapter 6: The Covenant of Life and Death (4)

When he woke up again, Xia Mu felt that his illness had been completely cured, and he was energetic and a good man.

About because of the heroic deeds of 'demolishing the house' at the inn last night, as soon as Xia Mu walked down the stairs, he found that everyone looked at him strangely, with amazement, avoidance, exploration, and fear.

Forget it, there is no need to explain this kind of thing, and there is no way to explain it. Anyway, Situ Lan said that he would pay for the damage.

"Miss Xia, you sit down." As soon as the soup shopkeeper saw it, he immediately greeted him. "Did you get a good night's rest last night?"

"Well, that's good. Thanks! ”

"Sister, you get up, try the dumplings I made. It's delicious! I heard that you worked hard with the immortal master last night, and in order to repair the inn for us, you were busy demolishing the house overnight. "Little Sparrow Tang Ping'er is here again. Fortunately, Xia Ju has recovered from her illness today, her spirit is good, and her mood is naturally good, and listening to her twitter is much more pleasant, although the whole thing she said seems to have changed its taste, but she didn't pay too much attention to it. So he happily took a plate of dumplings and ate them.

"Immortal Master, you're back too. Want to eat dumplings? ”

When Xia Mu heard this, he also raised his head, and sure enough, he saw Situ Lan walking towards him from the gate. Hey? How did he come back from outside and go out early in the morning?

It was obviously raining outside, but there was no trace of wetness on his body, he was still so noble and dignified. The snow-white boots and the hem of the shirt did not even have a single mud stain.

"No, you don't." After thanking Tang Ping'er, Situ Lan walked to the table and sat down, put a small bag in Xia Mu's hand and said, "Here you go." ”

"What?" Put down the chopsticks, curiously opened them quickly, and it turned out to be - sugar!

Xia Mu raised his head with some tears and asked, "Why do you want to buy me candy?" ”

"I promised you."

"What?" When did you promise me, and I don't even know as the owner of the matter?!

"Eat, eat without speaking." Situ Lan said, and then picked up the hot teacup to block most of his face, so Xia Mu didn't see the redness in the corners of his eyes and the helplessness of trying to hide it.

"Huh? Well, thanks. I didn't know why, but I happily took the candy packet into my arms.

"Hmm."

"Where are we going today?" Xia Mu asked casually, anyway, he won't be in a hurry today, so he really plans to go shopping.

"Outside the city, barracks." Situ Lan said.

"Huh? The barracks are also something we can enter casually? ”

"Check it out."

When Qi Xiao personally walked outside the barracks to greet the two, Xia Mu was still very upset. A big general, who travels thousands of miles every day, is so polite to himself, it's really uncomfortable.

"Immortal master, please, girl, please." The general's speech is sonorous and powerful, and he is loud and powerful.

Xia Curtain followed Situ Lan and walked into the barracks, and saw many gray, white, and black tents scattered together, none of which were too big, one sleeping only four or five people at most, but there were a lot of them, at least thousand, so they were very spectacular. The soldiers on duty who passed by were also full of energy, and when they saw Qi Xiao, they all saluted and called the general, which would make people feel a sense of awe.

Then he heard the sound of soldiers training from the camp and colonel, Xia Mu peeked at it, and couldn't count how many soldiers there were, but the columns were very neat, obviously well-trained and the military regulations were very strict.

"Ah Jing, Immortal Master and Miss Xia are here." As Qi Xiao walked into the general's tent, Xia Mu finally saw the general's wife, Yang Jing, who had always been curious, and heard that it was a medical saint in the military tent, invincible on the battlefield, the first military division of the Qi family's army, and a strange woman who combined beauty, talent, benevolence, and wisdom. Well, that's what Tang Ping'er said.

The woman, who was facing away from everyone at that time, slowly turned around.

Xia Curtain was indeed attracted for a moment, and the woman who should be about thirty years old, because of the long years of fighting, her skin was not as white as the woman in the boudoir, but there was a light wheat color of sexy. A pair of eyes do not have the weakness and affection of ordinary women, but they reveal a shrewdness and desolation. She and Qi Xiao are also dressed in military uniforms, less of a woman's delicateness, but more heroic.

"You're here." The woman's voice was soft but not charming, and when she saw the two of them, she saluted: "I've seen the immortal master, and Miss Xia." ”

"I've seen Madame." Xia Mu also hurriedly followed Situ Lan to return the salute.

"In the barracks, there is no lady, you can call me Adjutant General Yang." Yang Jing said with a smile.

"Okay, Vice Admiral Yang." For some reason, Xia Mu fell in love with this woman, bold and not twisted, and there was no smiling and pretentiousness. You must know that in this world, men are strong and women are weak, she can rely on her own ability and wisdom to get to where she is today, and she can fight on the battlefield with her husband and defend her family and country, which is worthy of admiration and admiration.

"It seems that Miss Xia is also a temperamental!" Yang Jing said with a smile.

"Where, it's over." Xia Mu thought to himself: Compared with the women here, I really have a lot of nerves. "By the way, listen to Ping'er, Vice General Yang has been in poor health recently? It's better now. ”

"Hmm." Yang Jing turned around with a smile, looked up and continued to look at the map hanging on the wall in the military tent. "It's a little thing, it's fine."

"Oh, that's good. I just got sick yesterday and slept all day. ”

"Then Miss Xia is better today?" Yang Jing heard her say this, and turned around and walked over again.

"yes, alright."

"I'll take the pulse for you, I have also learned medical skills for a few years, although I am not a famous saint, but I can also know a little about ordinary diseases." With that, he reached out.

Just wanted to refuse, after all, Situ Lan had already seen it, but before she could say it, Yang Jing grabbed her wrist and called her pulse out of thin air through her sleeve. Xia Mu couldn't shrink back again, so he could only freeze in the air with a little embarrassment, accepting her kindness. It's just that for some reason, Yang Jing's hands seem to be very cold, even through the clothes, the chill of her fingers can penetrate and spread to the skin of Xia Mu's wrist, stinging slightly.

After a while, Yang Jing bowed her head slightly and said, "Well, it's about a cold and tired, but now it looks fine." ”

"Thank you, I'm in good health." As soon as she let go, Xia Mu quickly retracted her hand, and her other hand gently stroked her wrist in her sleeve. This Adjutant General Yang is really a soldier, he has so much strength, but he is just a pulse, why does it make my arm sore?

At this time, the two men who had crossed the circle along the military tent also came over, and Qi Xiao naturally walked over and hugged his wife's waist and asked, "A-Jing has thought of a strategy to defend against the enemy?" ”

Xia Curtain was stunned when he heard it: Huh? Is there another war? But shouldn't the strategy of retreating from the enemy be thought of by the general? The people below only need to carry out the charge, and he actually asked his wife how to retreat from the enemy, and it had to be so natural. Sure enough, the little sparrow said that Mrs. was the female military division of the Qi family's army, and it seemed to be true.

"Well, there's a calculation." Yang Jing also answered directly.

"That'll be fine."

"That's the case, I can't accompany the two of you, I have to make some relevant arrangements here." Yang Jing said.

Hearing her say this, Xia Mu also glanced at Situ Lan, only to see him nodding, so Xia Mu said: "Then let's go back first, General Qi and Vice General Yang are busy with affairs, protect their families and defend the country, and even more so take care of their health, so we will leave first." ”

"Okay, I'll send it not far away, and then I will come to visit." Qi Xiao also said.

Seeing Situ Lan and Xia Mu walk out of the barracks, Qi Xiao turned around and eagerly returned to the tent, and saw Yang Jing holding her abdomen and vomiting out a mouthful of black blood, and hurriedly stepped forward to support her wife, and said distressedly: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's nothing, it's ...... She's it. Her already bright and shrewd eyes just now are even more burning and ruthless at this moment.

“…… Good. Qi Xiao finally replied.

After walking a little way out of the barracks, Xia Mu chased after him and shouted, "Hey, you can always tell me now why we are here, right?" ”

Anyway, I don't believe that you are delaying a day here, it is really for hanging out, you Situ Lan should never do things without purpose, how can you be as boring as me. Someone is still very self-aware.

"Well, the breath isn't right." Situ Lan didn't intend to hide it: "The breath of death." ”

"Who? General Qi or Vice General Yang? But isn't it normal for them to have the aura of death on them? They are all people who fought on the battlefield, not to mention killing countless people, they must also have a lot of blood on their hands! "Xia Mu couldn't figure it out.

"That breath is not from the revenants of the battlefield." Situ Lan shook his head.

"Huh? What is that? ”

"It's not yet known."

"Shall we continue on our journey tomorrow?"

"Hmm."

"Huh? What the? Hey, Situ Lan, are you bullying me for my short legs? Walk so fast...... Situ Lan! Look over there, there's a hare, let's catch it! Xia Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he grabbed the sleeves of the people in front of him.

Situ Lan was forced to stop and follow her gaze to look at the gray hare.

Without waiting for him to answer, he threw off his sleeve again, walked on his own, and said, "You wait here, I'll catch it." He tiptoed over, but suddenly stopped and turned back and said, "No! You can help me see if this rabbit is a demon first? It can't be a jade rabbit essence, right? ”

Seeing Situ Lan shaking his head expressionlessly, Xia Mu was bold enough to continue walking towards the rabbit.

You must know that she has no father or mother since she was a child, and she has done more or less things about stealing chickens and dogs, and when she was a child, the welfare home was built in the suburbs, and there was a small forest on the side, and the older children took themselves and a group of smaller children to steal chickens raised in the woods by farmers, and also encountered a hare. At that time, there were small people, but there were many people, and a group of children were screaming and making noise around them, and it was not the point to catch it, but Xia Mu always remembered the few happiness at that time. So I suddenly saw the hare again today, and Xia Mu's heart of victory and defeat and childlike innocence have always been hooked.

But when he was three meters away, the rabbit found out about the enemy and ran away, but Xia Mu didn't even think about it, and followed with his skirt.

Situ Lan looked at the woman with a little surprise, obviously blaming herself for walking too fast a moment ago, but at this moment she was running so happily.

The rabbit that fled for his life scurried in the grass in a panic, and the woman who vowed to catch the rabbit chased after her teeth with gritted teeth, and unknowingly ran a long distance, and Situ Lan had no choice but to follow.
