Chapter 025: Night Attack (1)
Seeing that I hadn't eaten for most of the day, Du Ruo ordered the accompanying cook to make some soup cakes early, and brought them in while he was drying the medicine.
"Taking medicine on an empty stomach is not good for the stomach." Du Ruo held the freshly made soup cake, stirring it with a spoon and blowing it. "It would be nice if it was a little sesame oil."
"What, the gluttony is guilty again?" I leaned on the pillow and laughed at myself: "Even if there is sesame oil, at this time, I can't smell the fragrance, it is better to be lighter, but it will be more delicious to drink." ”
"Miss, are you sure?"
I laughed, "I've always had light tastes, and you don't know it." ”
Du Ruo brought the soup cake to me and said with a smile: "Okay, good, as long as the young lady can eat it, come." ”
As he spoke, Du Ruolian gave me a mouthful of noodle soup, and I decisively took it into my mouth. To be honest, I knew that it was difficult to eat on the march and in battle, but I didn't expect this soup cake to be so bland, "It's really a clear soup and little water!" I laughed at myself, and when Du Ruo gave me another mouthful, I couldn't swallow it.
"Miss, I'll just say, this soup cake still needs to taste a little good!" Du Ruopi smiled, and then persuaded again, "But for the sake of taking medicine, Miss, you should take an extra sip." With that, she scooped another spoon and sent it over.
I took a bite of the soup cake with the clear soup and hurriedly pushed it aside.
"Bring that bowl of potions." I pointed to the soup that the soldier had boiled on the table next to me, "At least bitterness, it's also a taste." ”
Du Ruo frowned, and wanted to persuade me to eat some soup cakes again, but after scooping a spoonful and smelling it, he couldn't help but shake his head. "Looks like we're going to have to change our cook." Du Ruo got up and put the soup cake on the table, and casually brought the cold soup medicine.
I took the decoction and excused the accompanying cook: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, because we have insufficient materials, and it has nothing to do with the cook." ”
I took a sip of the soup, and although it was bitter, it was easier to drink than the soup cake. I remembered what my grandmother said when she was there, "There is no suffering that cannot be endured, only happiness that cannot be enjoyed." "Now it seems that there is really a trace of truth.
After drinking the decoction, my body is really much more comfortable, and I feel that I also have a bit of a psychological effect. "Hasn't the snow stopped outside?" I handed the bowl of the decoction to Du Ruo and asked casually, "I have been away from Kyoto for more than half a month, and I don't know if it has snowed in Kyoto?" ”
Du Ruo took the bowl and turned around to pick up the soup cake again. "We can't see it if it doesn't snow in Kyoto, but at this time, the willows in front of our Zhao Wangfu should be green."
Du Ruo handed over the bowl of soup cakes, I waved my hand, and said, "I have drunk this big bowl of medicine, so forget about the soup cakes." ”
Du Ruo frowned, as if he thought of something, and said with a smile: "I remembered, it seems that there are still some pickles, I'll bring some!" ”
Hearing that there were still small pickles, I drooled, Du Ruo put the bowl aside, turned around and prepared to go out, at this time Gu Shoucheng and Li Da asked for instructions outside the tent. I signaled, and Du Ruo walked over and opened the curtain.
Gu Shoucheng and Li Da came in and saluted first, and when they saw that my face was good, they couldn't help but show a relaxed look.
I knew they were still in a hurry, so I said, "I'm fine, I guess we'll be on our way tomorrow morning!" ”
Gu Shoucheng hurriedly bowed and explained, "Weichen is thinking of finding a safer place to rest and recuperate. After all, the weather is bad, and the convoy is full of valuable dowries, and it is really not advisable to stay too long in the wilderness. ”
I understood Gu Shoucheng's worries in my heart, and immediately expressed my understanding. "The generals and soldiers have worked hard, rest assured, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
"Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, the responsibility of the minister is there, and it should be." Gu Shoucheng arched his hand and responded: "Her Royal Highness the princess will rest early, and Weichen will go down to make arrangements." ”
I nodded and watched Gu Shoucheng retreat. Seeing that Li Da was still standing in the tent, he asked with a smile: "Li Da, is there anything else?" ”
The honest Li Da, who felt a little shy for the first time, took out a small clay pot from his arms, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that Her Royal Highness the princess will have no taste in her mouth, so I made some pickles with cabbage, I don't know, it doesn't fit Your Highness's appetite." ”
When I heard that it was pickles, I couldn't help but say happily: "I really didn't expect that Li Da would make pickles for you!" Du Ruo, take it and taste it. ”
Du Ruo took the small clay pot, I opened it and smelled it, and couldn't help but pick it up and taste it, "Well, it's really good, crispy, who did you learn this craft from?" ”
Li Da scratched his head and said: "My wife used to pickle vegetables before, but I watched it and learned it." ”
Hearing Li Da talk about his mother-in-law, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty for my mouthful, "Li Da, thank you." ”
"Her Royal Highness the princess is serious, that, if it's okay, I'll go down."
I nodded, and Li Da quickly escaped. Looking at the back of this honest man, thinking of his former family and his wife, my heart was a little sour.
After so many years, he is still alone, and he still deeply remembers his wife's pickling technique, which shows that he has never forgotten his deceased wife, nor has he forgotten everything about them.
With the pickles sent by Li Da, I finally drank the bowl of soup cakes. After the stomach was full, the sleepiness crept up suddenly. Du Ruo rearranged the bedding and slept in a separate bed with me in a tent.
I slept soundly that night, and I didn't even have a dream. I thought I could sleep until dawn, but I didn't want to be woken up by Du Ruo's screams.
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Du Ruo grabbed my arm and shouted, "The robbers are coming!" ”
I opened my eyes anxiously, heard the sound of clanging fights outside, hurriedly put on my clothes, and stood up with Du Ruo's support.
At this time, Li Da reminded loudly outside the tent: "Miss, don't come out, we are outside, and we won't let them rush in!" ”
"Yes, no matter what sound you hear, don't care, these little thieves will be solved in a while!"
It was Ye Liuyun's voice, and my heart suddenly shook. He still has wounds on his body, can he withstand the attack of this group of robbers?
At this moment, I really realized what the embattled song in the book looked like, and I could only hear the sound of swords clashing all around the tent, mixed with roars and wails.
Du Ruo pulled me tremblingly, and said in fear: "Miss, won't they really rush in?" Can we escape? ”
I was scared, but I tried to keep my composure. I hugged Du Ruo in my arms and comforted: "I believe Li Da and them, they will definitely be able to resist it." ”
This sentence is comforting Du Ruo, and it is also cheering himself up.
