Chapter 153: Introduction to the Art of Tea

"Don't worry, they are all alive, but they lost their strength, they fell to the ground before they could run out of the oasis, two of them were bitten by poisonous insects, I have picked ready-made herbs and put them on them, there will be no life problems." Xiao Li'er knelt on the ground, pulling her collar with one hand and wrapping the light yarn around her body, trying to avoid her skin being exposed on the inadvertent movements, but the yarn was too light and thin to have no effect.

"Then I want to thank you for saving us." Fang Cannon hissed and thanked him, his gaze regained his calm, and he lay down again to examine this place, "We haven't left this oasis yet?" ”

"Outside are all patrolling barbarian soldiers, shouting that they have gone over several times, and now this place is the deepest part of the oasis, and the bushes are too dense for the people outside to see the situation inside, and they didn't realize that there are people hiding here, so I dragged you in. Big brother, drink some water, I just went to the creek to get a fetch. Xiao Li'er carefully held the leaf in his hand to Fang Cannon's mouth, tilted it, and the water beads flowed into the corners of Fang Cannon's mouth along the lines of the leaves, finally making his lips moisturize.

Fang Cannon learned that there was not much danger at this time, and his heart was a little calmer, and he couldn't move, so he drank water through Xiao Li'er's hand, and the sweet and clear stream made him feel a lot better, but he always felt strange in his heart, especially when Xiao Li'er was feeding water, his slender hand accidentally touched his cheek, and he moved to the side without a trace, "Thank you, I'm not thirsty." ”

Xiao Li'er didn't say anything, she pulled her clothes and nodded, and tiptoed to fetch water and feed it to the other soldiers who were still asleep. Fang Dacang stared at her back, always felt that there was something he couldn't say, he didn't want to contact her at all, it seemed like an unwarranted rejection, and he couldn't tell why, when he saw her, he could immediately think of Ruan Mianmian's round face, obviously the two people didn't have the slightest similarity.

But at this time, no one was able to move, and it was not easy to leave this place, and the woman said that she stayed in the barbarian camp after being taken away by the barbarian soldiers, and that she thought that they had escaped from the chaos after they had been killed last night, and later they were met in the woods.

"Big brother, what's your name?" Xiao Li'er was busy taking care of the soldiers, and she talked to Fang Cannon without a match.

"I... Surname Fang. Fang Dacang paused, not wanting to tell her his name.

"Then I'll call you Brother Fang, okay?" Xiao Li'er's eyes were timid, her voice was soft, she looked completely harmless, and her gaze towards Fang Dacang was also full of admiration and admiration.

"You... Why do you see me that way? Fang Dacang got goosebumps all over his body when she saw it, and he looked up suspiciously.

Xiao Li'er pursed her lips and smiled shyly, and said a little reluctantly: "Brother Fang, you are Xiao Li'er's benefactor, if you hadn't rushed into the barbarian leader's tent and saved me, I wouldn't know how to live, please accept Xiao Li'er's worship." ”

As she spoke, she bowed down, and Fang Dacang hurriedly turned her head, her face was slightly red, and she avoided the glimpse of spring.

"We're not here to save people." Fang Cannon's tone was stiff, as if the muscles in his body were now, and he was at a loss.

Hearing him say this, Xiao Lian'er still didn't feel the slightest displeasure, and still replied calmly and gently: "But you did save me, I should repay the favor, besides, Lian'er is now homeless, if Brother Fang drives me away at this time, I'm afraid I will be poisoned by the barbarians again." ”

She is worthy of being a person who can survive in the barbarian camp, she is good-looking, with a natural charm but innocent feeling, and her character is also pitiful to me, and she can express her desires without a trace when she speaks, but it does not make people feel abrupt.

Fang Dacang looked at her coldly and began to shed tears again, and he was already distraught thinking that Vice General Cao's heart was even more restless, so he had to let him stay for the time being, and then make plans when the brothers went out safely.

The sky was bright, Fang Cannon opened his eyes and saw the faint light leaking from the shadows of the trees, several of his subordinates had all woken up, and their bodies were fine, and the barbarian soldiers who were searching outside had all retreated and left because they had not found anything for several days, and it was time for them to go back to the barracks.

Fang Cannon was already slightly injured in the back of his head, and he slept in chaos for a few days, there was no problem, he was weak himself, but he was able to walk alone, which was also the result of his experience in the army in the past six months.

Xiao Li'er is still wearing that tulle skirt, and the makeup on her face has been washed, revealing a white and innocent fawn face, with a slender figure, and distinct hands and feet, not to mention that she is in the Northwest Gobi, even when she arrives in the capital, she can be regarded as a beauty.

She had already told her life experience with tears in her eyes after the soldiers woke up, which caused several young men to feel distressed and admired by her, and almost didn't recognize her as a sister on the spot, but everyone could see that Xiao Li'er was unusually of the other party's cannon in the open and secret, and from time to time she served diligently, not to mention, she often inquired about Fang Cannon's likes and dislikes in secret, and it seemed that she was in her heart.

However, Fang Cannon didn't pay attention to these, Vice General Cao took the others to save them with his life, he had no time to take care of these children's affections, and he only had the one thing in his heart to return to the barracks to resume his life. What's more, he didn't like Xiao Li'er's hanging in the first place, so naturally he didn't even give her half of his attention.

The moment he walked out of the oasis woods, Fang Cannon looked up at Yangguang who had not been seen for a long time, but his eyes were pierced by the strong light for a while, and he hurriedly covered them with his hands, and it took a while to regain his eyesight.

The other soldiers were also reborn, and their whole spirit was full, and they worked harder to discern the direction and walk back to the barracks on foot. According to their estimates, from the oasis to the barracks, it takes a whole day to run without sleep, not to mention the beauty with a weak willow to support the wind now.

For two days and two nights, Fang Cannon and they were on the road in addition to resting, eating wild fruits and wild vegetables picked from the woods, drinking the stream water or morning dew encountered along the road, and when they arrived at the gate of the barracks, they were surrounded by the soldiers on duty with swords, and the soldiers who knew Fang Cannon on weekdays also looked them up and down, as if they were as vigilant and defensive as the barbarians.

Fang Cannon looked down, the clothes on his body were originally for the convenience of assassination and not to reveal his identity, and he changed out of his military uniform and put on the night clothes, and even took off all the things that could identify him before the operation, and his subordinates were naturally like this. What's more, they have been dormant in the woods for the past few days, with mud and stains on their bodies and faces, I am afraid that at this time, except for Ruan Mianmian, who can recognize him at a glance, everyone else will be stunned.

He wiped his face, tried to make his facial features clearer, and spoke to the soldier he knew: "Big dog, it's me, I was ordered by the lord to kill the barbarian leader, and now I come back to restore my life." ”

The voice was no longer hoarse, so it was easy to recognize, and the soldier known as the big dog immediately put away his weapons and pounced directly: "Vice General Fang?!" Didn't you go with Vice General Cao, why did you come back alone, and what about the other brothers? ”

The light in Fang Dacang's eyes quickly dimmed, and the whole person was a little haggard and confused, and the big dog also understood that something was probably going on when he saw this, and it was not smooth to see their appearance, so he patted him on the shoulder with tears, didn't ask anything more, and directly asked people to come and help them in.

It's just that when he saw Xiao Li'er behind Fang Dacang, his gaze stopped, "This is..."

Without waiting for Fang Cannon to explain, Xiao Li'er lowered her head a little pitifully and hid behind Fang Cannon, but she didn't touch his back: "The slave family was rescued by Brother Fang in the barbarian camp..."

Fang Cannon immediately took a serious sentence, "She took the opportunity to run out when we entered the barbarian camp, and we didn't save her." ”

"Ahh Okay, then come in with us first, and then discuss how to settle down after taking care of things, it's not a big problem. ”

Fang Cannon returned to the camp, the whole person only felt like a world away, first inquired about the battle situation on the side of Shacheng, and learned that the barbarians who had disappeared in the past few days had withdrawn their troops, and heard that there was an outbreak of disease, but it was like a plan in the city, anyway, Shacheng was safe, and the military camp also sent an advance force to clear the remnants, I believe that soon Shacheng will be able to reopen, and the materials can be transported in to return to normal.

Hearing these news, Fang Dacang's heart was extremely comfortable, and he received an order from the chief general, asking him to take a shower and rest for a while, and then go to the main tent to discuss things after eating in the evening. So he went straight back to his tent, which was still the treatment he received as a lieutenant general, if it was an ordinary soldier, he could only live with others on the chase during the march, how could he have his own place.

Fang Cannon closed the curtain, there were already logistics soldiers who fetched water, the bath barrel was a little old, but it was big enough not to hinder its use, and he was not a person who cared about this, so he put on a robe and soaked comfortably in the water.

Halfway through the wash, when Fang Dacang was drowsy, he heard that the tent door outside was opened, and he remembered that Fang Cai said that he would send someone to send new military uniforms and some honey locusts, so he didn't think too much about it, and said directly: "Put it at the door, I'll clean it up myself later, there are roasted sweet potatoes they just sent on the table, you can take some and share them with the brothers." ”

The footsteps of the person outside the curtain stopped for a while, but he didn't go out, he still put his clothes and honey locusts on the small table with only a curtain in his hand, and said softly: "Brother Fang... It's me, I thought I had nothing to repay you, since I came here, I should serve you in every detail, so they wanted to send you something, so I came. ”

Xiao Li'er's voice was soft, and she seemed to be a little uneasy and self-reproachful, as if she was afraid that Fang Cannon would lose her temper and hate her, and she stood here after speaking, pinching the corners of her clothes helplessly, waiting for further instructions from Fang Cannon.
