Chapter 115: The Lost Coffin
Chapter 115: The Lost Coffin
From the next day, Jiang Xinyi took out the silver that Wen Yuxin put in the closet, and asked Douzi to go to Xiaoling Village to buy some poultry and come back to improve the food.
Anyway, it wasn't with her own money, besides, most of the food sent by the prince went to the battlefield with the army, and all that was left for the barracks was some vegetarian dishes.
used obscene means to "force" people to teach her to be disguised, but he didn't expect him to care, and took the initiative to teach something else. This made Jiang Xinyi feel a little moved, and she almost wanted to return his underwear to him.
Therefore, Jiang Xinyi was grateful and apologetic, and Tie Xin personally prepared three meals for him every day. In addition to chicken soup and wontons in the morning, it is chicken porridge, and at noon and evening it is dumplings and stir-fries. Swallow the dozens of people left in the barracks.
However, Jiang Xinyi didn't care about them, not selfishly, she didn't manage it, anyway, she bought back chickens, ducks and poultry, and let Lu Bo's apprentices do it for them, and she didn't treat them badly.
Besides, if you care about them, then she shouldn't do anything all day long, just make wonton dumplings!
In this way, the relationship between Jiang Xinyi and Tiexin has changed a lot all of a sudden, and Jiang Xinyi has reported her kindness, except that she didn't return the underwear. And Tie Xin found that this "apprentice" really didn't suffer a loss when he accepted it.
First of all, she became very "filial", not only washing all the clothes he had changed, but also the three meals that constantly changed every day, which made him feel that his vanity was satisfied.
At first, he didn't worry about the food she made, so he secretly checked it with a silver needle without leaving a trace, but within two days, he gave up.
At first, he taught her that something else was just an iron-hearted delaying tactic, for fear that she would really run away, and the prince would not be able to explain to him when he came back. Later, he changed his mind, because this princess was smart and studious, and her cute appearance made him unable to refuse.
Anyway, if she is taught, she will not harm the country and the people, but will only harm King Yu. Iron Heart is excited when he thinks about it.
A few days later, Tie Xin taught her to make fake Adam's apple and wig sets.
Therefore, these days, she hardly goes out except for leading her ragtag army to run "exercises" in the morning, practice, and cook for Tiexin. For a while, he dressed himself as an old "milk" and "milk", and for a while, he was busy in the house as a handsome guy. She thinks this is much more fun than practicing internal skills, and practicing internal skills seems so monotonous and boring.
Jiang Xinyi wants to learn the disguise technique of putting a mask on her face, so whoever she wants to be like, she just needs to make a mold and stick it on her face. But Tiexin told her that not now, there were two materials missing, but he promised that he would teach her when he returned to the capital.
In this way, Jiang Xinyi no longer had hope, she knew that she would never return to the capital with them. She doesn't feel sorry for not being able to learn this, and what she has learned now is already okay.
If he leaves Wen Yuxin in the future, he will not find it, even if he meets him on the street and passes by, he can't recognize her, so it's already okay, Jiang Xinyi is very satisfied.
The basic disfigurement technique was almost learned, and Jiang Xinyi planned to find a chance to leave, but a large number of wounded people were sent back in front, which tied her like a rope.
Looking at the wounded who were covered in blood and in unbearable pain, her heart really couldn't be ruthless and left. A few of them listened to her stories every day, and some of them met every day and said hello.
People have feelings, so she decided to stay first and take care of them first, otherwise even if she left, she would not be able to let go and feel guilty.
Since the military doctors all went to the front, Tie Xin did not stay out of the matter, and took on the important task of treating them as a matter of course, so Jiang Xinyi gave him a hand.
Fortunately, there were enough "medicine" materials in the barracks, coupled with iron-hearted superb medical skills, the wounded sent back were all well treated, and none of them saw the king of Hades.
From the mouths of the wounded, Jiang Xinyi learned that the enemy army was helped by the small surrounding countries this time, and the number of troops suddenly doubled that of this side, and of course it suffered some losses. No wonder they deliberately delayed so that there was no movement, it turned out that the rescuers were moved.
Jiang Xinyi asked the soldier who sent the wounded back to bring all the freshly bought poultry in the barracks to the front, so that the soldiers in front could eat enough and win the battle.
But the soldier said no, at most, they should all come back. Although the strength of the army is less than half of the enemy this time, the soldiers are very tenacious, and the general Wen Yuxin bravely rushed to the front, of course, the morale is full, everyone is alive and vigorous, this time the fight is victorious.
But the enemy army is not good, the soldiers of Xiliang Country have long been tired of the endless war, and there are also the rescuers who have moved, and few of them are doing their best, but they have to deal with the symbolism of "sex" a few times, and they retreat. It's no wonder that such an army is undefeated!
The soldier told Jiang Xinyi that the general was worried about the wounded, so he sent him to lead a few people to send the wounded back first. There were also some less wounded and killed who returned with the brigade.
He still cherishes his subordinates, Jiang Xinyi began to admire him a little, except for a large group of women, he is still a good man. It's just a pity that she's already excluded him.
Sure enough, in the second half of the next night, Wen Yuxin led this large army back.
As soon as Wen Yuxin returned to the barracks, some things were handed over to Huang Biao to deal with, and as soon as the reins of the horse were loosened, the horse walked to the stable.
Wen Yuxin returned to the door of his residence, and the two guards who showed him should not make a sound, so he went to push the door. I didn't push it, but I heard the sound of something falling on the ground. Well, it looks like she's also done her hands and feet on the deadbolt, and she'll know if she moves a little. She wasn't very bold, he smiled and looked at the door.
"General, why don't you knock on the door." The guard guarding the door felt sorry for his general and wanted him to enter the house early to rest. He didn't understand, it was just a girl sleeping inside, why was he afraid of arguing with her?
"It's okay, I'll go to Liu Jun's place and squeeze it." Wen Yuxin whispered.
Wen Yuxin just wanted to leave, when he heard a voice inside, "Who is it?" "That's someone asking.
"It's me." Wen Yuxin walked to the door and replied.
There was no more talk inside, the door opened, and Jiang Xinyi stood inside with a candle, looking at him sleepily with a cloak on her body. "You're back?" Jiang Xinyi snorted and said.
"Well, I'm back." Wen Yuxin was afraid that she would freeze, so she hurriedly entered the house and closed the door.
"Shall I get you something to eat?" Jiang Xinyi rubbed her eyes and asked.
"No need, Xinyi, you go to sleep first, and come after washing up for your husband." Wen Yuxin's heart was warm. He felt that he was also an ordinary person at this time, and he was really happy when he returned home to ask his daughter-in-law and ask for warmth.
"But the water is cold." After Jiang Xinyi finished speaking, she couldn't figure it out, how could she become such an eighth woman? However, seeing the stubble on his mouth, his tired appearance and the blood stains on his armor, she was really a little moved, fortunately, she didn't see where he was injured, so the blood stains on the armor must be the enemy's.
"It's okay, sometimes I wash my face with snow water in front of my husband." Wen Yuxin replied more gently.
Jiang Xinyi didn't go back to the inner room immediately, but put the candle in her hand on the table, and then 'touched' the dark into the inner room. When she got to the bed and got into the bed, she found that as soon as he came back, she immediately felt a sense of steadiness. Don't think about whether the deadbolt is "plugged in" or not.
After a while, I heard Wen Yuxin walk in and put the candle on the small table. Then I felt the sound of him sitting on that bed, hesitating for a long time before he took off his armor and clothes, and then lay down. Looks like he's not coming over tonight! Jiang Xinyi pursed her lips and smiled, closed her eyes and went to find Zhou Gong.
Early the next morning, after Jiang Xinyi woke up, she dressed lightly, for fear of waking up the people who returned at night. But when she pulled back the curtain, she found that the bed was empty, and the bedding was neatly folded, and if it weren't for the bloody coat that had been thrown on the ground, she really suspected that she had had a dream last night.
After entering the small room, Jiang Xinyi went to the outer room, and there was no one to see him, why did he go so early? She couldn't guess it, so she quickly washed up, tied up her sand leggings and went to run "".
Today, she can't go and make breakfast for Tiexin, otherwise let the prince know that there will definitely be trouble. She didn't have to worry about the wounded, and there was no danger to their lives. The troops are back, and the medics are back, so she can relax!
Jiang Xinyi felt that she was very free to run and "", but she found that no one was running behind her this morning, presumably because the team had a lot of things to do when they returned to the camp in triumph.
She was right, everyone was busy. At this time, Wen Yuxin was sitting in the conference hall, listening to Huang Biao's report. "Boss, did you send them back to their hometown for burial, and are you still burying them in the back mountain?"
"It's winter, go find a carpenter to customize the coffin and send them home." Wen Yuxin.
The battle is fought every year, and there are inevitably some casualties every time, it stands to reason that Wen Yuxin, who is a general, should have been used to it a long time ago, but every time after the battle, looking at those soldiers who died, he still felt pain in his heart.
In late autumn and winter, he would send someone to put them in a simple custom-made coffin and send them back to their hometown, leaving a pension and some silver taels for the deceased's family to customize another coffin for thick burial.
In the hot summer, Wen Yuxin couldn't bear to let those tragically dead, some of them still be broken, when they were sent home, they were already stinking and full of maggots. So he buried them all on a hillside behind the barracks, with their heads facing in the direction of their hometown. Every year during the Qingming and winter solstices, people will be sent up the mountain to clean up weeds, burn incense, and place fruit and wine offerings.
+ Passion Because of this, the soldiers in the barracks respected him even more.
"I remember that there were still a few coffins in the warehouse, and if they were not enough, they immediately went to find someone to make them." Huang Biao said.
"General Huang, there is only wood in the warehouse, and there are no ready-made coffins." Pan Qiang, who was standing at the back to manage the barracks warehouse, walked to Huang Biao's side and whispered to him.
"Who said that, didn't I still see it when I went in last time, I remember who proposed to demolish it, saying that it was unlucky to put it there, as if it was waiting for our brothers to die." Huang Biao shouted in disbelief, he didn't doubt his memory, but Pan Qiang cowered and spoke like that just now, which made him angry.
What can't be said out loud, just a few simple coffins, who can take back their dwelling as a wardrobe? Will it still grow wings and fly?
"Say, what's the matter, is there a thief in the barracks? Even the coffin was stolen, not to mention other supplies. Go check it out immediately and punish it severely. Wen Yuxin slapped the table angrily and shouted angrily.
"General Qiyu, don't check, your subordinates know where it is." Pan Qiang replied timidly.
"Where? Can you finish talking about 'sex' all at once? When did you become like a. Huang Biao asked anxiously.
In the hall, not only Huang Biao was anxious, but they were all anxious, including Wen Yuxin and Liu Jun, they shouldn't lose that thing if they lose anything!
"In the room next to the house." Pan Qiang calmed himself and said.
"How could it be there? Could it be that Old Man Lu has started to prepare for himself now? But he didn't need that much. Huang Biao interrupted and asked.
Without waiting for Pan Qiang to answer, Wen Yuxin, who was sitting up, had already stood up and walked out with a black face. Everyone immediately followed, wanting to see why the coffin was there.
The group walked in the direction of the room, provoking the soldiers next to them to stand and watch, not knowing what was going on over there, but no one dared to follow to see what was going on.
"Why did the general get here, breakfast will be delivered to you soon." As soon as Lu Bo came out of the door of the room, he saw Wen Yuxin coming over.
"Master Lu, how many coffins in the warehouse are here?" Wen Yuxin looked at Master Lu, who was approaching the age of sixties, and couldn't bear to murder him, so he asked softly.
"Yes, but," Master Lu could see from the expressions of their group that the atmosphere was not right, the general did not come here to visit and have breakfast. The team came back last night, and as usual, there must have been casualties, so the coffin? Not knowing how to explain, he reached out his dry hand and pointed to the room next to him.
Wen Yuxin frowned, didn't say anything, walked straight and pushed open the door that Master Lu pointed to. When the door opened, I saw five coffins lined up, placed on a wooden stand at a slight angle. It was also covered with some worn bedding that had been replaced by the soldiers.
"What?" Wen Yuxin said with some annoyance, and lifted the futon on one of the coffins. Unexpectedly, what appeared in front of me was not a coffin lid, but a thick stack of cotton cloth, wet.
He lifted the cotton cloth again, and then he saw that the contents were full of yellow "color" things, and he grabbed a little closer to his eyes and took a closer look, and recognized it, it was actually sprouted soybeans, all of which were chubby and very cute.
Wen Yuxin twisted his eyebrows, threw the things in his hand into the coffin, and opened another one, which was still half, not full, and his face was different from before. The water is very attractive.
Needless to say, the idea of using a coffin to send bean sprouts must have come up with her own princess. Wen Yuxin sighed and walked away helplessly.
Huang Biao and Liu Jun also stepped forward to see what they wanted to understand, and after reading it, they all had a feeling of thunder, and they used things to pretend to be dead to grow vegetables, it was really the first time they saw it, and they have seen it for a long time.
Not long after the general led Xiao Jiang to come, they ate it, and it was indeed delicious. Every winter, they eat the same three things, they have long been disgusted, and they are used to it, what they didn't expect is that beans can be eaten like this, but no one has ever thought of coming to see, in the winter, where are these bean sprouts planted?
Now I know that it is planted in a coffin, not with soil, but with water! They weren't disgusted, after all, the coffin looked like an ordinary wooden box, and it had never contained a dead person.
"Oh, I said don't throw it in if you take it out." Master Lu said anxiously, picking out the bean sprouts they had caught and putting them aside.
"Aren't they just some beans, and they haven't been caught, so why make a fuss?" Huang Biao said disapprehantly.
"You didn't wash your hands just now, bacteria will stick to the bean sprouts you caught, and if you put them back, this whole box of bean sprouts will rot, this is a dish that can last for several days, it's terrible for Xiao Jiang to know." Master Lu explained that it was not difficult to pick up the sprouts carefully, because the bean sprouts that were caught and thrown in were very chaotic and not tight, and they could be distinguished at once.
When Wen Yuxin threw it in just now, Master Lu wanted to stop it, but he didn't dare to speak, and when it was their turn, he couldn't help but open his mouth. Jiang Xinyi has carefully taught him the technique of planting bean sprouts, and sometimes she is not at ease, but she even came to see it in person.
"What are bacteria?" Ziqi asked Liu Jun, and Liu Jun shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Boss, let's stay here, I'll go find someone who knows how to carpenter to do it right away." Huang Biao walked up to Wen Yuxin and said.
Wen Yuxin nodded, it's not that he's afraid of Xiao Jiang, he can't pour out all these bean sprouts planted by Master Lu, and then take them away and pretend to be people, if he does that, it seems that he will hurt Master Lu, who has worked hard in the military camp for half his life, and it is also disrespectful to the deceased.
The matter of the coffin was clarified, and everyone scattered in all directions, what should they be busy with, what should they be busy with.
Wen Yuxin went to visit the wounded alone, and also asked those who were not seriously injured, if anyone wanted to go home, they could give leave to go back to see.
Coming out of the place where the wounded lived, Wen Yuxin's mood was much better. His own princess is here, and she is a little naughty, but it makes this military camp no longer boring.
When they are not "drilling" in normal times, the soldiers in the barracks sigh a lot less homesickly, and laugh more.
Born in the prime minister's family, she was able to come up with such a good way to add vegetables to the barracks. can come up with such a ridiculous and angry way to help the villagers of Xiaoling Village.
Can you help Tiexin treat and take care of the wounded without being dirty, who can do such a thing as an ordinary woman?
When Wen Yuxin slowly walked from another road to the meeting hall, by the well next to the road, two small soldiers were smashing the ice and water at the mouth of the well, and the two were chatting energetically, and they didn't notice the general who walked beside them.
"Huazi, when we went out, was there anything new in the barracks? Is Xiao Jiang telling a new story again? One asked.
Wen Yuxin is not such a boring person, but when she heard the words Xiao Jiang, Wen Yuxin couldn't help but stop, wanting to hear what was new about her princess.
"Alas, don't mention it, Xiao Jiang hasn't told us stories since you left, she seems to be getting along with Lord Tie next to the general, you haven't seen it, I cook for him three meals a day, what wontons, dumplings, chicken porridge, we haven't eaten. In addition to running in the morning to practice boxing. They stayed in the general's house all day long, and they didn't have time to pay attention to us. Huazi in the room said.
"No, Lord Iron can take a fancy to her? Isn't it just a personal girl in the general's room, maybe he has already been our general's person, and he dares to move? Another asked disbelievingly.
"That's not for sure." Huazi came up with a bucket of water and said.
Wen Yuxin didn't listen any more, his face turned pale and walked to the other side, he almost stepped forward and pinched Huazi's neck, telling him not to "mess around". But he didn't, how could the dignified general do this, people would think he was jealous.
Did something really happen to her and Ironheart? He's going to figure it out.
