Chapter 486: A pot of porridge with wild vegetables and bacon
The distance between Longgang and Xiyang City is relatively long, and at the current speed, I am afraid it will take four days to get there. After all, not every soldier had a fast horse, and the luggage on his back seriously slowed down their speed. This way is to eat and sleep in the open, everyone is treated the same, this is Lin Tian's order, everyone must carry it out.
However, the people who can go to the battlefield are warriors, wrapped in blankets, whether they are at the foot of snowy mountains or grassy forests, they sleep next to each other, there is nothing picky and pretentious, and no one is arrogant.
Many people took special care of Shui Ling's Ah Candle and the nurse group, and these beautiful girls ran around with them and really suffered, but they all showed an extremely strong side, and none of them held back. Even taking on the task of caring for a large number of wounded while hurrying away, which is distressing and respectful.
The seriously wounded had already moved towards Xiyang in large groups, but these wounded, who were not seriously injured, but also incapacitated, were carried on stretchers by the soldiers, and walked to the end of the line, accompanied by the cultivators.
It was the evening break, and the cooking class not far away was cooking, and a few large pots had been set up and the water was boiling. Xia Jinghong walked around, saw a little nurse leaning on the wheel of the carriage and fell asleep, and put a blanket on her very warmly, but woke her up.
"Will ...... General!"
The little nurse hurriedly stood up and saluted, but Xia Jinghong waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to do so.
"It's going to be two days away, so be careful not to get sick. ”
The little nurse nodded hurriedly, a little shy. Xia Jinghong came to find Xia Xiao, and after saying something, he rode away and went to the place of the Xia family army at the front of the team. He was always with his army, and he took them away from the north, and although it was difficult to bring them back without leaving behind, he had to take care of the living.
Seeing Xia Jinghong's back go away, the little nurse ran into her team, and blushed under the envious gaze of the sisters.
Everyone is a child and a parent, and a woman of this age can enter the barracks, Xia Jinghong sincerely admires. But a woman in troubled times has a bucket of rice, and a woman in a prosperous world has ten thousand taels of gold. He would rather have a woman more precious than be so lowly. Perhaps it was in order to escape that situation that they were so brave enough to join the barracks, and the army of their own country did not disappoint them.
"What's going to be for tonight?"
Before the meal arrived, Ah Candle gnawed on dry food, squatted on the side of the cauldron, and waited for the meal to start. At first, the gang was a little restrained and seemed to be unable to show it, but when Ah Candle also joined their team, they dared to talk to him casually.
"After two days of dry food, today I boiled a piece of bacon and rice. ”
When she heard that there was bacon, Ah Candle's eyes straightened, but she said:
"It's even more fragrant with wild vegetables, shall I go find some?"
"Even if we go to find it, we'll go, and Miss just rest. ”
They were at the foot of the mountain at this time, the mountains and forests were steep, there were a lot of things at a glance, and the chef had them to be busy, so Ah Candle took the initiative to go, not forgetting to pull Xia Xiao.
"Why do you take me with you when you dig wild vegetables?"
"Help me carry the basket, I can't lift it all by myself. ”
Ah Candle was very interested, she knew what kind of wild vegetables could be eaten, but when the three baskets were full, it was also dark.
Under the lantern, the salty porridge in a few large pots was bubbling, and the fragrance was wafting everywhere.
Ah Candle looked at the pot and didn't let others get close, some cultivators had a good relationship with Xia Xiao in the past few days, and at this time they were holding the bowl and stepped forward to have dinner early. But Ah Candle stretched out her arms, like an old hen guarding the chickens, chattering non-stop. The noble cultivators in the eyes of others are all the same in front of Ah Candle.
"Wait a while and eat it, and wait until the wild vegetables are cooked. ”
"It doesn't matter if it's good or not, I'm starving to death. ”
"No, no, wait a few more minutes. ”
These cultivators could only ask Xia Xiao for help, but the latter shrugged his shoulders and looked at Ah Candle with a burst of laughter. In front of food, how could he be strong enough to beat Ah Candle? Even if he wanted to eat now, Ah Candle would fight with him, so let's wait together! Seeing that most of the cultivators were complaining, Xia Xiao wanted to say a few words, but he stammered.
This kind of harmonious scene made many little nurses look envious, and Ah Candle really lived as all girls thought. She was born handsome, with long chestnut hair that was extremely eye-catching, and she had a good figure, and there was someone who doted on her and even tolerated her trouble. The most important thing is that she has strong enough strength and respectable identity, she is really a living princess, and she dreams of becoming like that, as if she is carefree and has no worries.
The long wait made everyone nibble on the dry food with the fragrance, and when Ah Candle said to start the meal, everyone lined up in four lines, and couldn't wait to get their own bowl of porridge. With something to eat, Ah Candle stopped making a fuss, and walked to the side with Xia Xiao with a bowl and drank it suckingly. The taste of bacon spreads throughout the porridge, and even if the dry cake has no taste, it tastes delicious.
"Doesn't it taste better this way?"
Xia Xiao nodded, looking at Ah Candle concentrating on eating, and threw the worries in his heart to his head.
A girl who can eat three meals a day is really easy to feed. Reaching into the backpack, Xia Xiao wanted to touch a piece of dry cake, but only touched the slag. He sighed helplessly, half a backpack of dry cakes, eaten alive by Ah Candle as a snack, and it has only been two days, and there are still two days to go.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, go to bed after eating. ”
Xia Xiao spoke with difficulty, but Ah Candle didn't notice it, just nodded and chewed happily. Seeing her so happy, Xia Xiao didn't want to say more, but he clenched his fist and knocked her on the back of the head.
"What?"
The little frown, Ah Candle put on a look like she was about to get angry, she hated that others moved herself when she was eating. However, Xia Xiao was not used to her, so he knocked again.
"I just want to hit you!"
Ah Candle snorted, moved a few times with his bowl and dry cakes, and ate with his back to Xia Xiao. The latter watched, pulled the blanket after eating, and looked around. Although they had been away from Longgang for two days, it was impossible for the Nanshang army to chase after them, but he still subconsciously looked at the position he was in, so that even if he woke up, he could react quickly.
Xia Xiao has been in the academy for a long time, and after he didn't think of it, he was still the same, and these behaviors were deeply rooted in his bones. With mountains on one side and plains on the other, you won't be surrounded even if you're in danger.
Looking at the stars in the night sky, Ah Candle leaned over to Xia Xiao at some point.
"Sleepy, sleep. ”
The warmth in his arms made Xia Xiao neither smile nor push it away under the starlight, but just silently accepted everything, but vaguely felt that something big was about to happen. When he fell asleep, Xia Xiao dreamed of endless wars, and when he woke up, he still thought about fighting, but the front was imagination, and the back was reality, even if the two were intertwined, they did not confuse Xia Xiao, who was extremely awake.
It seemed like a long time since he woke up, but the unknown smell in the air was extremely unfamiliar, so Xia Xiao got up abruptly and shouted loudly:
"Pack your things and you're ready to go!"
Ah Candle was frightened awake, saw Xia Xiao walking to the west beside him, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
"Enemy attack. ”
Xia Xiao said extremely easily, as if he had been waiting, and as if he had expected it. But Ah Candle rolled up the blanket at random and stuffed it into his backpack and handed it to the flag spirit.
With a slender figure and a windy figure, Ah Candle strode with a meteor, becoming a retrograde among many nurses and wounded. She followed Xia Xiao, and when she stood beside him, the sense of responsibility that belonged to her alone made her face grim, and she followed Xia Xiao to the west, and followed his gaze as if she had seen the enemy.
There are many cultivators who are one step ahead of Ah Candle, and there are also some who are slower than her. But no matter how harmonious the relationship is on weekdays, it is difficult to integrate into this duo at this time. Xia Xiao's mind instantly extended several kilometers away through the earth under his feet and the grass on it, and he clearly felt the veins of the grassland, and the number of people on it was even more clear.
"Go back, I'll be here with Ah Candle. ”
Leaving behind their companions is not the style of the Great Xia people, but Xia Xiao's quiet appearance makes them helpless but to leave. There is no battlefield for them here, Xia Xiao's words, more often than not, it is like an order that must be executed!
