Chapter 183: Meritorious Service
Early this morning, Xia Li and a few people sat in the courtyard waiting for news, and they didn't wait until it was dark for the army to return to the city, and they were disappointed.
Waiting can drive people crazy.
I waited anxiously for two days.
In the middle of the night on the third day of the sixth lunar month, Xia Li was sleeping soundly when he suddenly felt the earth vibrating, as if there was an earthquake. She sat up in fright, and the person was not yet conscious, and shouted in a daze, "There is an earthquake!" Run......"
In her previous life, she encountered an earthquake when she went on a business trip to the southwest region, and the feeling of shaking the mountains can never be forgotten.
Zhao Niuniu was frightened awake, rubbed her eyes and asked, "Sister, why are you running, have the bandits entered the city?" Suddenly cried, "The bandits have entered the city, so is my father already dead?" ”
Xia Li heard the sound of horses' hooves and some noises again, and he was completely awake.
She said happily, "The army has entered the city, it must be that the army has entered the city after eliminating the bandits......"
Xia Li's voice made the Xia family, Xia Ju, and Zhu all quarrel, and they all put on their shoes and came to the courtyard, and the sound in the distance became closer and louder.
There were also cheers from the front yard of the Metropolitan Mansion, followed by the sound of firecrackers. Then, countless beams of light flew into the sky from the front yard and bloomed in the air, colorful and gorgeous.
There were cheers not only from the front yard, but also from outside the house.
Xiong Xiangxian was still riding on the branch of the tree and was happy, but the sudden sound of firecrackers scared it down again, and he hugged Xia Li's legs. When the fireworks burst into the air, it was so beautiful that it hurriedly climbed the big tree and broke the branches in front of it to see the beautiful flowers.
Xia Ju and Zhao Niuniu jumped to their feet and cheered, "Brother Ye (Lord Ye) has won, Uncle Zhao (Daddy) has won, Third Uncle, Dangdang, and Heizi are coming back......"
The Xia family and Zhu Erjia covered their mouths, and Xia Li was so excited that he burst into tears. After the victory, and with such a large welcome scale, the main general Ye Feng must have returned safely. She put her hands together and prayed, Dangdang must come back safely, and Kuroko, she must come back safely......
The noise lasted for more than an hour before it gradually subsided.
After breakfast, Xia Ju hurriedly ran to the front yard with a bear to inquire about the news.
Soon ran back and said excitedly, "I heard Uncle He say that Brother Ye took all those bandit dens and captured a few bandit leaders and many bandits alive. Brother Ye, Grandfather Ye, and Brother Liu didn't go back to the house, they went directly to the Yamen, and Uncle He didn't know what happened to Dangdang and Heizi, and Uncle He didn't know ......"
Zhao Niuniu hurriedly said, "Then how is my father?" "I didn't hear her father mentioned, and she was about to cry.
Xia Ju said, "I specifically asked your father, but Uncle He said he didn't know either." ”
Xia Licai told the truth, "Don't worry, I heard that your father didn't follow Master Ye to fight bandits this time, but went to another place to contain another nest of bandits, his mission is much less dangerous, and it will be fine." ”
Not long after, Ye Quan came to the courtyard with high spirits. said to Xia Li, "Uncle asked me to tell you, he is fine, Dangdang and Heizi are safe, and they have made great contributions." The Dog Team has some tail sweeping work, and they won't be back to the city until later......" After saying that, they hurried away again.
Xia Li and the others were completely at ease.
Seeing Zhao Niuniu's eagerness, Xia Li smiled and comforted, "I didn't say that your father was fine, your father must be fine." ”
At noon, several people had no appetite, so they barely ate a few bites, and continued to sit under the eaves and wait for the hero's return.
At the beginning of Shen Shichu, the sound of a dog barking finally came from outside the yard, and when I heard the sound, it was Dangdang and Wumao. Xia Ju laughed and jumped up with Xiong Xiang, ran out of the yard, Xia Li, Xia Shi, and Zhao Niuniu rushed to the courtyard gate.
Ye Jin, Xiao Ding, and Xiao Lu, who were dressed in military uniforms, walked towards them, and they also brought Dangdang and Heizi. Dangdang and Kuroko's bodies were not clean, and the hair on their legs was curly, which should have been burned by the flames.
Xia Ju and Xiong Xiang had already run over to hug them.
When they hugged him, he broke free of his two hands and ran to Xia Li with four palms. It stood up first, raised its two front hooves, and gave a formal military salute before pounced on Xia Li.
When it saluted, Xia Li didn't dare to return the military salute, but stood very solemnly and watched it. When it rushed up, Xia Li squatted down, and it was hugged, licked and rushed.
Xia Li giggled, burst into tears, and let it push her to the ground. She hugged Dangdang and said excitedly, "My hero, you are back, you are all back safely...... After a catastrophe, I know how precious peace is.
Xia Shi went over and helped Xia Li up from the ground, and smiled at Dangdang, "Okay, okay, Aunt Zhu will go and cook you potato paste immediately." Then he said to Kuroko, "I'll make you meatball bibimbap." ”
Ye Jin smiled, "Don't bother, Uncle He has already said that the kitchen will make a celebration banquet for them." ”
Zhu Erjia said with a smile, "No matter how much it is a celebration banquet, there will be no potato." She went to the back room to make yamasha.
Xia Li hugged the sunspot who ran over again, praised it a few words, and got up to feed Dangdang and the sunspot water to drink.
Xia invited Ye Jin and them to sit under the tree in the courtyard to rest, and she went into the house to get tea and tea cups.
Wherever she went, the two dogs were dragged by her legs. The bear was holding Dangdang's legs again, Xia Li had to drag so many little guys, and he couldn't drag them at all. No, she had to sit down and let Xia do this.
Xia Ju and Zhao Niuniu didn't feel left out at all, and followed Dangdang and Heizi.
Ye Jin and the others probably talked about the process of the war, this time they wiped out all the twelve nests of bandits, how many bandits were killed, how many bandits were captured alive, and how many bandits were afraid of surrendering automatically...... All the bandits' dens were burned, and almost all the bandits and belongings they hid were found by the dogs...... The terrain in the mountains is complicated, and if there were no dogs, our army would not have fought so quickly......
When the first credit was made, the female bandit leader Jin Poison Flower and another bandit leader escaped alive, and it also discovered a secret cave where the bandits escaped. The key is that the Golden Poison Flower wore makeup and a beard on her face, and everyone and Rong Dog didn't find out that the person was the Golden Poison Flower, but somehow they recognized her and bit her desperately, and tore off her fake beard......
Kuroko also made a meritorious contribution and found how many bandits who fled and hid. They also killed and injured many people......
Our army lost five dead and more than twenty, and eleven of the dogs were killed and more than twenty wounded. This time, our army wiped out so many bandits at the minimum cost of casualties, and almost no fish slipped through the net......
When Xia Li and the others heard this, they all looked at Dangdang and Heizi with great pride. At the beginning, let Dangdang take a few more glances at the portrait of the Golden Poison Flower, and it really worked.
Thinking of so many casualties among the sergeant and the Rong dog, Xia Li's heart trembled again.
