Chapter 119: Mission Impossible to Complete
Before Jiang Xinyi finished scolding, the door was closed by the two lieutenants outside, and she almost caught the finger she was pointing at Wen Yuxin. She was so angry that she kicked the door a few times with her foot, and she felt still angry, but there was nothing in the room to vent.
Jiang Xinyi lay on the bed sullenly, forgetting her hunger, and just when she wanted to fall asleep, the door was opened again, and it was Master Lu and Douzi who came in.
"Just now, the general suddenly went to the room, stood for a long time and didn't speak, just left, and Douzi and I came quickly, starving." Master Lu said with some guilt.
Jiang Xinyi already had no appetite, but now that she saw the two of them, one old and one young, and what they said to Master Lu, she couldn't be more annoyed. Of course, I couldn't lie down, so I quickly got up and asked Master Lu to sit down.
Douzi hurriedly took out the food from the food box, and the dish was a few pieces of bone meat and winter melon. He also smiled and took out a small bag from his arms, and after opening it layer by layer, Jiang Xinyi saw a few roasted brown sparrows that exuded fragrance.
"Master, eat it while it's hot." Douzi hurriedly handed the chopsticks to Jiang Xinyi and said.
"Such a good dish, didn't you get me some wine?" Jiang Xinyi asked jokingly with chopsticks pulling the winter melon, and when she saw that they were all shaking their heads, she put down her chopsticks and grabbed a sparrow, put it in her mouth and gnawed it.
"Xiao Jiang, don't say that there is no wine, even if you do, I don't dare to take it for you, when the general's anger is gone, you can drink it again." You see, who else in this entire military camp dares to eat and drink casually? Master Lu persuaded her worriedly.
"Understood, understood." Jiang Xinyi only nodded, biting the sparrow in her mouth and vaguely agreed.
"Xiao Jiang, you eat slowly, I and Douzi will go back first." Master Lu saw that Douzi had already hung the piece of cotton cloth they had brought on the window, so he said to leave.
"Well, thank you Luber, thank you Beans." Jiang Xinyi looked at the curtains made up of several pieces of cloth, she didn't have the courage to look up at them, she just lowered her head and said thank you, she felt that her throat was a little blocked, and she couldn't say anything else.
After Master Lu and Douzi left, Jiang Xinyi stood up, walked to the window, and reached out to caress the extremely ugly curtain. It was the ugliest curtain she'd ever seen, but it kept her out of the wind chill.
The room felt much warmer because of the curtains. Jiang Xinyi's tears flowed again, and she could imagine what Master Lu would look like when he sewed this curtain for her with his hands full of green tendons. He had been here last night, and when he saw it, he remembered it in his heart, such a kind of love that only parents would give her, but Lu Bo, who had no relatives and no reason for him, gave her such simple care, how could he not move her?
Jiang Xinyi didn't feel lonely anymore, she wanted to live better, thinking of this, she went back to the table again and ate it in a big gulp.
Tomorrow you have to chop wood, which is manual work, so you must eat enough.
Early the next morning, after Jiang Xinyi got up, she didn't hear any movement at the door, and when she opened the door, she saw that there was no deputy general outside.
Without two guards, she's really not used to it. It seemed that she was free again, and Jiang Xinyi saw some things placed there by the door. There was a basin for washing her face, a wooden comb, and a large bag with her change of clothes.
It seemed that he didn't plan to let her go back to that room, Jiang Xinyi understood his intentions and didn't ask questions.
Actually, this situation is not a bad thing either. Jiang Xinyi moved all her things into the house, found a well nearby, fetched water, freshened up, and then went to the room for breakfast. Now that she has regained her personal freedom, she is embarrassed to trouble Douzi and Lu Bo to bring her food.
Master Lu, who was directing people to serve breakfast in the room, didn't feel strange at all when he saw her walk in, he greeted him and said; "Hurry up and eat, they're about to leave."
"Luber, you already know?" Jiang Xinyi asked.
"It's not just me who knows, I'm afraid the whole military camp knows." Master Lu said with a kind smile.
"It's a good thing, don't go out, and bad things go a thousand miles." Jiang Xinyi's Internet speed in this military camp is super fast, she said with emotion.
Fortunately, she is a good person on weekdays and gets along well with the soldiers, so she doesn't have to worry about other people's jokes.
When Jiang Xinyi walked out of the room after stuffing her stomach, she saw three people standing outside, who she knew, who practiced kung fu with her every day and listened to her stories at night. I am very familiar with them, they are all in their twenties. Jiang Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that with them, she would definitely not embarrass herself.
The two woodcutters in the hands of the six tigers, needless to say, one of them was prepared for her.
+ Passion Sure enough, the six tigers spoke, "Xiao Jiang, this knife is for you, I sharpen it quickly, be careful." ”
Jiang Xinyi took the machete and scabbard he handed over, and tied the ropes on both sides of the scabbard around her waist like them. The scabbard was different from the one on the soldiers, except a rectangular piece of wood a little larger than soap, hollowed out in the middle, and the machete was placed inside, and the protruding handle rested just on the scabbard.
Jiang Xinyi set off with them, not walking, but sitting on the three climbing plows pulled by the carriage. Just when she was immersed in the excitement of riding the plow for the first time, she was stopped by Liu Jun at the gate of the barracks.
"What, is Xiaojun going to chop wood too?" Jiang Xinyi knew that it was not, and asked deliberately.
"Oh, I'm not going, it's the general who wants me to tell you that you need to chop five hundred catties of firewood in the morning before you can come back for lunch." Liu Jun said, his eyes looking at the reaction of the pockmarked face on the plow.
What is the concept of 500 catties of firewood, Jiang Xinyi doesn't know, since that perverted guy deliberately embarrassed her, then it must be a task that she is not easy to complete!
"Is he busy? If you're not busy, just ask him to supervise me personally. Jiang Xinyi said to Liu Jun in a strange tone.
"Ye is in a meeting, I'm afraid I don't have time to go, Xiaojiang, come on." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left, he knew that if he continued, this aunt "milk" and "milk" didn't know what else to say.
"Cut, it's better not to be busy, otherwise how can you have the energy to make things difficult for me?" Jiang Xinyi said to herself.
The six tigers who were sitting with Jiang Xinyi secretly sighed, this Xiao Jiang talked to Lord Liu, even if he didn't even climb the plow, he dared to be more serious with the general, no wonder the general would punish her.
"Six Tigers, how far does Baoshan have to go? Can we get back at noon? Jiang Xinyi sat on the plow and asked the six tigers who were driving the horses. She was wondering if she could chop enough wood in the time limit.
"Not far away, I saw it when I crossed this hill." Six Tigers told her.
"Then why don't you cut it on this mountain, I don't think there is a lot of firewood on that mountain?" Jiang Xinyi asked puzzled.
"There are dead brothers buried on the back of this mountain, and the general said not to disturb them." Six Tigers explained.
This guy is really affectionate, Jiang Xinyi has to affirm his personality, of course, she understands that if it weren't for the iron-hearted thing, he would still be quite tolerant of himself!
"Six Tigers, why are you called Six Tigers, do you have five brothers above you?" Jiang Xinyi didn't want to dwell on Wen Yuxin's personality anymore, so she diverted the topic to tease the six tigers.
"No, I'm the boss at home, because when my mother was pregnant with me, I dreamed of a group of tigers, exactly six, so I was called six tigers, hehe." The six tigers said with a hearty smile.
"Hehe, your mother is so amazing, I forgot all my dreams when I woke up, she can actually remember a few tigers." Jiang Xinyi joked with a smile.
They talked and laughed, and after a while they arrived at Baoshan. He tied up his horses, and each of them took the straw rope he had brought and spread it out in all directions.
Jiang Xinyi also took out the machete and stood near the six tigers. She hesitated, seeing that everyone was picking the thickness of the wrist, and she was embarrassed to cut too thin, so she found a target about three fingers thick.
Jiang Xinyi followed the example of the six tigers, blocking the upper part of the bush with one hand, and slashing down with the other hand holding the knife with the machete. Go down with a knife and cut out a small hole. Two knives went down to the two of them, Jiang Xinyi unwillingly crackled and slashed more than a dozen knives in a row, and the shrub with a few dried leaves hanging on it fell very reluctantly, of course, if it wasn't for her hand, it was estimated that she would have to cut a few knives.
Jiang Xinyi excitedly wanted to see how powerful she was to the Six Tigers, but she couldn't open her mouth. Those few people basically put down a wrist-thick tree with one or two knives, and as far as she cut down this one, there were already several on the ground next to them.
It's okay, there's no shame, they're not men, besides, a few of them are specialized in chopping wood in the barracks, of course they are skilled! Jiang Xinyi comforted herself. Look for the next target.
The six tigers sat down to rest after cutting for a while, watching Jiang Xinyi chop. Just as Jiang Xinyi's machete was flying against the third shrub, the iron pillar closest to her finally saw the pain and couldn't help but come over.
He didn't know whether to feel sorry for the six tigers' carefully sharpened machetes, or he couldn't bear to see her torture the poor little bush anymore.
"Xiao Jiang, there are also skills in chopping wood, first of all, you have to cut this knife diagonally, and then, the second knife must be cut on the mark of the first knife." Tie Zhu patiently said and demonstrated to her.
Jiang Xinyi cut the shrub of that size, and the iron pillar did not use force, and it was solved with one knife.
Jiang Xinyi wiped it as it was, and the effect was really good, but she still had to cut more than a dozen knives!
"Don't be in a hurry, practice and you'll be fine." The iron pillar encouraged her, and went to chop wood.
"How?" The six tigers asked Tiezhu in a low voice.
"What's the matter, fortunately, the general punished her to chop wood, if she was punished to chop meat in the room, it is estimated that a hundred catties of meat can make her chop fifty catties." Tie Zhu said with a wry smile.
Jiang Xinyi became more and more powerless the more she cut, and the roots of a small shrub were already scarred, but she kept chopping, Jiang Xinyi, who was impatient, simply threw the machete on the ground, pinched the woody Xiaoqiang with both hands, pressed it hard, and kicked it with her foot, well, it was broken. It was purely under-kicked, Jiang Xinyi scolded it in annoyance.
When it was almost noon, the six tigers had already tied the chopped firewood with straw ropes and carried it to the climbing plow, and there were dozens of bundles.
And Jiang Xinyi looked down at the results of the east and west around her, and couldn't help but be disappointed, there were only a dozen in total.
And the further back it gets, the slimmer it becomes, and there are a few that are almost comparable to chopsticks. Pull them all together, don't tie them, just clip them under the armpits, there are a total of how many catties there are, she can't estimate it, but it is definitely far away from the task given by Wen Yuxin.
What should I do? Jiang Xinyi is worried!
