Chapter 3 The Little General

The night is cloudy, the moonlight shines on the river, and the scenery looks a little beautiful.

Shu Yan didn't know how to answer, so he reached out to cover Chen Yuan'an's eyes, but he didn't speak, and he didn't know how long it took for several women to be released.

He was disheveled and had tears on his face.

The woman with outstanding looks was lying in an empty seat next to Shu Yan, and the whole person was curled up in a ball.

Chen Yu'an opened his eyes and looked at the woman lying on the ground, his eyes were full of fear, and Shu Yan grabbed his little grandson's hand.

But he saw the woman exhale softly.

"Can you drink water under an excuse?"

Her voice was extremely hoarse, and Grandpa Su handed over a kettle.

The beautiful woman took a sip, and then handed the kettle to Grandpa Su.

She got up from her position and staggered towards the river.

As soon as she stepped into the icy river, Shu Yan exclaimed.

"Don't think about it!"

Grandpa Su got up and ran and grabbed the woman, and Shu Yan also hurriedly ran over, ignoring the cold of the river, and grabbed one of the woman's arms.

I heard the woman shout, "Let me die!" Let me die! ”

Grandpa Su and Shu Yan pulled the person back, and the woman collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the distant river.

Grandpa Su took off his coat and sat next to Shu Yan and Chen Yuan.

"Come to think of it, she didn't come out of a small family before."

The wind was gusting, Shu Yan's body was very cold, and in her heart, she was a little lucky.

In troubled times, being an old woman who can still run is not the worst.

Shu Yan hugged Chen Yu'an, and before he knew it, he was sleepy.

As soon as it was dawn, Shu Yan was woken up by the woman's cry.

I saw a few soldiers dragging the arm of the good-looking woman, swearing and swearing, and the woman was crying hoarsely.

One of the soldiers said: "If you cry again, you will cut off your ears!" ”

The woman suddenly looked at Shu Yan.

I only heard her shout: "My name is Qixiu!" If you see someone looking for me, let him save me!" ”

Qixiu was dragged away by the military man, Grandpa Su sighed slightly, looking at the surging river, Shu Yan just looked down at his grandson.

In silence, a soldier wearing a sweat towel walked up to Shu Yan, he glanced at Shu Yan, and then said, "Do you know how to make soup?" ”

Shu Yan hurriedly stood up.

"This military master, I was a cook before."

Shu Yan held Chen Yu'an's hand tightly, and the sweat towel said: "Take your grandson to the back camp with me, the adults want to drink fish soup, and the other cooks make it fishy." ”

Shu Yan glanced at Grandpa Su behind him, and then pulled Chen Yu'an to follow the soldier to the rebel camp.

There were more than a dozen cauldrons outside, and a few fat and strong Huotou soldiers were stir-frying, and when they saw Shu Yan, the old woman, walking in, they pointed to the small stove inside.

Next to the stove was a bucket with a few live fish swimming in it.

The sweat scarf soldier said: "Old woman, you can pay attention, if I see what you have done, I will immediately chop off your grandson's head." ”

Hearing this, Shu Yan hurriedly nodded, she asked Chen Yuan to sit aside, and she bent down to clean up the live fish.

In his previous life, Shu Yan was not in good health, but he liked food very much.

She disembowels the fish, cleans the scales, and cleans them.

The sweaty scarf soldier saw that Shu Yan's hands and feet were nimble, so he said, "It's a quick old woman." ”

Chen Yuan sat honestly on the side, looking extremely well-behaved, and the soldier was bored and said: "Your grandson is extremely well-behaved, and I also have a newborn grandson in my hometown." ”

Shu Yan talked to this military man: "Where is the military master's hometown? ”

The sweat scarf soldier said: "I am a person from the suburbs of Beijing, originally served as an official in Beiying, lost the battle, became a deserter, fortunately General Long did not give up, and became a personal soldier by his side, which is considered to have a serious future." ”

This soldier is in his forties, with a rough appearance and a burly body, and at first glance he is a person with strong martial arts.

Shu Yan exchanged a few words with this military man, and knew that the rebel army they were on was under the command of Long Yun in Yingzhou, and if there was chaos today, the rebels were everywhere.

Among them, the most powerful are the Han Wang, who rebelled in the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the Chen Wang, a rebel in the southwest.

These two men proclaimed themselves kings and encroached on more than half of the imperial court.

Now the imperial court is struggling in the south of the Yangtze River, and only the cold land in the northwest is still able to breathe.

It is said that the young emperor built a palace in Taiyuan in the northwest, accepted many concubines, and accepted the widow of the Chen family in Jiangnan as a concubine.

Hearing this news, Shu Yan was suddenly a little helpless.

The widow of the Chen family, isn't that the wife of her youngest son, that woman is indeed extremely beautiful.

The soldier talked about the war again.

The Han army has broken the Beijing division, and the southwest of the Chen Wang waved his army to the north, and the Han king is now sitting in the Beijing division, although he has the heart to face the battle, but the main force is still in the south of the Yangtze River and the remnants of the imperial court are fighting hard.

And the rebel army they are in is to blow up the Ping'an Embankment, quickly break the remnants of the imperial court with the water momentum, and then withdraw back to Beijing to fight with King Chen.

Between the words, the pot of fish soup was ready, Shu Yan poured the soup into the bowl, and the military man said coldly: "You taste it first." ”

Shu Yan tasted the remaining fish soup in the pot, and then the military Han Fang was relieved to take the fish soup away.

Only Shu Yan and Chen Yuan were left, and Shu Yan had just cut an extra radish for fish, and she secretly hid it in her sleeve.

At this moment, when the military man walked away, Shu Yan took it out of his sleeve and handed it to Chen Yu'an.

Shu Yan smiled and said, "Yu'an, this radish is sweet, you can taste it." ”

Chen Yu'an took the radish and put it in his mouth and tasted it.

At this moment, the military man came back again, and he said to Shu Yan: "You give the rest to the general, come with me to see the general." ”

Shu Yan hurriedly did so, and she took the bowl and went to the camp tent in the depths of the barracks with the soldier.

When I opened the tent, I saw a young man of seventeen or eighteen sitting by the desk, and an old man of fifty or sixty sitting in front of him.

The old man just glanced at Shu Yan and was stunned.

"This old woman looks extraordinary, where is it?"

Shu Yan hurriedly said: "Back to the military master, the old body was originally the old cook of the Chen family in Jiangnan. ”

The old man was slightly stunned, and then said, "Why don't you go with the master of such a rich family?" ”

Shu Yan hurriedly replied: "The old lady of the Chen family is seriously ill, and the master ordered me to take care of it, the old lady is not in good health, so she went to the ...... after three days."

The old man glanced at Shu Yan and chuckled.

"It's pitiful."

Shu Yan put the bowl of fish soup on the table, and the young general lowered his head and looked at the sand table in front of him, without saying a word.

The old man smiled: "What else are you looking at?" Let's drink soup. ”

The young general raised his head, but he didn't look at Shu Yan, and drank the bowl of fish soup.

"That's how my grandma makes soup."

The young general said it really, he wanted to come to Shu Yan's fish soup, but it was his appetite.

Shu Yan said: "Who is the general's grandmother?" ”

The young general looked up at Shu Yan.

"My grandma is a Jiangnan person, because her family is poor, she sold herself as a slave to the Chen family in Jiangnan and became the Chen family's cook, and you are a colleague with the old man."

Shu Yan was a little flustered.
