Chapter 39: The Suspicion of Broken Sleeves
After packing up the clothes he was wearing, when Ma Xiaotian came out of the inner tent, the shadow of Xu Qingfeng and the 'Tang Hai' he brought was already missing from the outer tent, and only Qian Kun was still sitting in front of his desk and sorting out the official documents. Then there are the two personal guards of Ma Xiaotian standing at the door.
Ma Xiaotian glanced at the situation of the external account, sat back on his chair silently, and said to Qian Kun, "Master, tonight I will enter Youzhou City to meet the Hu people who will come to surrender to Cheng for a while, and I will ask Master to watch more about the affairs in the camp." ”
"Yes, General, don't worry." Qian Kun put down the official document in his hand, didn't get up, just sat in place, nodded and agreed.
He has followed Ma Xiaotian for many years, and the tacit understanding between the two has already been formed, there are no outsiders, and there is no need for too much complicated details, this is also what Ma Xiaotian likes about Qian Kun, not dogmatic, not rigid, and measured in handling things.
Tang Xiaotang followed Xu Qingfeng back to the medical clinic, and Qian Yingying and a few people had already gotten up.
Qian Yingying and Zhuo Songbai's brother and sister were playing tricks in front of the tent, Zhuo Songbai deliberately ridiculed Qian Yingying for always making her a little bit worse, but she couldn't sit on him, Qian Yingying knew that she couldn't catch up with her senior brother, so she kept looking for opportunities to hurt him, Zhuo Songbai He was not annoyed, he smiled and looked at the opportunity to lose it back, and the two of them went back and forth in the open space.
Xiao Cui and Mo Zhu are working on the side and looking at the liveliness, the two of them use the small clay stove that is usually used to boil medicine to make a fire, I don't know where to find a small pot, Xiao Mozhu squatted in front of the stove with a pu fan in his hand and looked at the fire, from time to time with a pu fan to fan it twice, Xiao Cui used a stone and a wooden board on the side, set up a simple board, is using a guillotine knife to cut herbs, cutting wild vegetable leaves, and then put the leaves into the pot of boiling water, I don't know what the two are doing in the small pot What is delicious, At this time, the water in the pot was gurgling and gurgling.
The two of them were watching the fire and cooking, and they looked up at Qian Yingying and Zhuo Songbai from time to time, looking at the liveliness of the mutual scolding between the two of them.
"Yo he, you young people are full of energy, you work all morning and practice martial arts, you don't need me to arrange to do your homework!" When Xu Qingfeng came back, he saw this lively scene, and he couldn't help but joke happily with the young man.
Seeing that the master was back, Mo Zhu hurriedly stood up and greeted him, "Master, Master, you see, I cooked vegetable porridge for you with my little brother, and you can eat it in a while." ”
Xu Qingfeng heard that there was porridge to drink, so he hurriedly stepped forward and looked at the steaming porridge pot on the fire and said, "Hehehe, great, it's great to have such food this morning, it's good for the stomach." ”
"Where did you get your food?" Tang Xiaotang also walked over, looked into the pot, and asked Xiaocui suspiciously.
She knew that there was rice in the luggage they carried, but where did the green leafy vegetables come from? In the tent, I only saw dry herbs, but I didn't see any vegetables planted around, the food in the barracks, everyone in the morning is steamed buns, steamed buns, these dried staple foods, just a mouthful of white water, even if it is rare, I don't see leafy vegetables?
"Just now I was cooking porridge, and Mo Zhu and I went to the field behind to pick wild vegetables." Xiaocui explained to Tang Xiaotang and said, "The rice we bring in our luggage, I use it to boil some porridge, with these wild vegetables, sprinkle some salt, it just so happens that the staple food in the morning is steamed bread, let's drink some vegetable porridge with steamed bread." ”
"Oh, I'll just say, with you young people, I'm happy, you see, as soon as you come, the food in the morning will immediately improve a lot!" Xu Qingfeng heard Xiaocui say that he used the rice he brought to cook porridge, and his apprentice also helped pick some wild vegetables, and immediately felt that his living standard had improved to a higher level, but the little apprentice had never made breakfast for himself before, and the two of them were all men in the barracks who would eat whatever they wanted, the little old man looked at the green vegetable porridge in the pot, and returned to the tent with a smile, and went to dispense medicine to the general first, and waited for a delicious breakfast for a while.
"I'll go and dispense medicine to the general first, and I'll leave it to you young people here."
"By the way, Tang Hai, you come in with me, give me a hand, I'll prescribe a prescription, and you grab the medicine." Before entering the tent, Xu Qingfeng did not forget to call Tang Xiaotang by name, this young man he planned to cultivate well, just start by grabbing medicine.
"Yes, Dr. Xu, I'll be here right away." After listening to Xu Qingfeng's arrangement, Tang Xiaotang agreed, but her footsteps did not move, she saw Xu Qingfeng enter the tent, and then secretly pulled Xiaocui and said: "Cook early in the morning, thank you for your hard work!" ”
"It's okay, it's nothing." Xiaocui held a soup spoon in her hand, squatted on the ground and looked at the porridge pot to not be pasted, and looked up and smiled at Tang Xiaotang's concern.
She doesn't feel hard, she would have taken care of the young lady, the young lady should not be a servant by herself, and she treats her as a sister with Qian Yingying, and everyone is a sister along the way, and now the female companion is dressed in the barracks, Qian Yingying knows martial arts and knows medical skills, Tang Xiaotang was pulled by Dr. Xu to learn medical knowledge, only although he also learned some medical science with Qian Yingying, but compared with the two of them, it is still a lot worse, so only by doing something for everyone, can there be a little balance in his heart, I feel like I'm still useful, and I feel happy to be needed by everyone.
"Go and get busy, the meal will be ready in a while, I'll call you." Xiaocui smiled and urged Tang Xiaotang to hurry in, don't let Dr. Xu wait too long.
"Hmm!" Tang Xiaotang nodded knowingly, without saying more, she understood Xiaocui's intentions.
"Okay, let's not make trouble, Dr. Xu came back just now, go over and help!" Zhuo Songbai saw Dr. Xu enter the tent, and hurriedly grabbed Qian Yingying, who had caught up, and took the initiative to stop fighting.
"Humph! For Dr. Xu's sake, I will spare you today! Qian Yingying did not show weakness and said that she would not admit defeat.
"You're okay, remember that you're a man now, don't be coquettish, let you see that men are not men, women are not women, be careful that others treat you as a broken sleeve, and I will be involved in breaking your sleeve." Zhuo Songbai whispered in her ear
"Nonsense!" Qian Yingying heard the word 'broken sleeve', her face turned red, although she was very arrogant, but these two people still made people feel very ashamed, the senior brother said this today, it really deserved. Between the words, he punched the senior brother in the chest.
"Okay, okay, let's really stop fighting, let's be serious, hurry up and take a look, Dr. Xu is prescribing a prescription." Zhuo Songbai restrained his playful appearance and said to his junior sister seriously.
