Chapter 161: Food Shortage
When he came out of the camp, he happened to meet Sima Hui, Sima Hui saw He Changdi leading the horse and walking quickly, the corners of his mouth were raised, and he was just about to say hello, He Saburo passed by her by mistake. ΡΡΡ.(vii) (ix) x.S.ΡΠΎΠΌ The update is so fast.
Sima Hui's hand froze in mid-air, and her face was embarrassed.
She felt unspeakable loss in her heart, and returned to the border army camp with a depressed face, and went to the commander's tent to recover her life.
Xiao Yan's face was not good, her cheeks were red from the cold and her eyes were red and swollen, Sima Hui saw that her face was 'colored', "What's wrong?"
Xiaoyan lowered her head and bit her lip and didn't speak, but it made people feel that she was even more aggrieved.
In the end, the two 'female' soldiers behind her couldn't hold back, and said aggrievedly: "General, you have to be the master of Sister Xiaoyan and her subordinates." β
Sima Hui took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and said, "Let's go back to the camp with me first." β
The three 'women' obediently followed, and walked back to the camp camp quickly behind Sima Hui.
When Sima Hui heard the cause and effect, she looked up at Xiao Yan in front of her and spoke for a moment, "Xiao Yan, you come to tell me if what they said is true?"
'Female' adjutant Xiao Yan didn't know what was going on, obviously the general's voice was still as gentle as usual, but there was a feeling that made her feel frightened.
She glanced at Sima Hui cautiously, and finally gritted her teeth and nodded, "Miss, what they said is right, Jinyi Xiangjun really didn't take you seriously, and deliberately embarrassed the slave, because of Captain He's relationship, she is afraid that she will have prejudices against you." β
How many times, Miss has defended her every time, Xiaoyan believes that this time is no exception, as long as Miss has the mind to compete, and she is by her side to give advice, are you afraid that you won't be able to grab a little Captain He?
Xiaoyan is full of confidence, but she still overestimates herself.
Disappointment flashed in Sima Hui's eyes, she paused, and finally said softly: "Xiao Yan, go and get the punishment yourself, I won't need you to serve me in the future, change Xiao Tang." β
Since Sima Hui can achieve the position of general at a young age, he is naturally not a really confused person.
Not to mention that when General Sima was alive, he taught her almost hand-in-hand, and later she 'touched' and fought in the army for four or five years. Sometimes connivance has become a habit, after all, Xiaoyan is the 'waiter' and 'girl' who grew up with her, but once some things touch her bottom line, Sima Hui will definitely not be soft.
Xiao Yan thought that she could be a fox and a tiger, even if the young lady who had served for many years knew the truth, she would see that the big thing was small in the relationship for many years, and even just a few verbal warnings, she never expected that the young lady would directly transfer her away from her side, such a punishment was undoubtedly more serious than beating her with dozens of military sticks.
Her previous composure disappeared completely, and she instantly became panicked, "Miss, what did the slave and maid do to make you unhappy, you can just punish the slave and maid, don't drive the slave and maid away! The old general is gone, and the master of the slave is only you!"
This time Sima Hui was unmoved, she immediately waved her hand, and the two 'female' guards around her blocked Xiao Yan's mouth and dragged her down.
As for the remaining two 'female' soldiers, seeing Xiao Yan ending up like this, where did they dare to say a word, bowed their heads and knelt trembling, without Sima Hui asking, they cried and begged for mercy: "General, today's things are all arranged by Sister Xiaoyan to be done by her subordinates, not the idea of her subordinates, please ask the general to spare his subordinates!"
Sima Hui's heroic face was cold, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were full of exhaustion and disappointment.
With a wave of his hand, the remaining two 'women' were also taken down. She ordered: "These two people should be sent to Captain He and let him dispose of them." β
The warm tent was quiet, tired for a few days and nights, it should have been a sweet and peaceful moment, but Sima Hui did not feel the slightest sleep, she listened to the sound of the north wind whistling outside the tent, and her heart was bitter and helpless.
In fact, when she just returned to the camp, Xiao Tang's people had already told her what happened today, but she didn't expect Xiao Yan to disappoint her.
Sima Hui pulled the corners of her mouth bitterly, Xiao Yan really thought too simply, the 'women' who could teach them a few things quietly like that would really be calculated by their clumsy means?
Before, Captain He went out in such a hurry, I was afraid that he was also chasing that Jinyi Xiangjun.
She was a little curious, what kind of person this Jinyi Xiangjun was.
Just when Sima Hui was immersed in her thoughts, Xiao Tang brought something to eat.
Knowing that the young lady was still angry because of Xiao Yan's matter, Xiao Tang waited more and more attentively, "General dinner, you haven't eaten anything when you come back!"
Sima Hui took a deep breath, adjusted her mood and nodded.
She picked up the silver chopsticks on the small table in front of her, and her eyes fell on the food in front of her.
Seeing this, she was stunned for a moment and said strangely: "Why is there no rice today?"
Although Sima Hui's hometown is from Shandong, she followed her mother, who was born in a southern water town, and likes to eat rice.
On weekdays, her food and clothing in the camp are taken care of by the 'waiter' and 'girl' Xiaotang, and her three meals a day are rice porridge, but there is not a single grain of rice in the few dishes placed in front of her today, what is going on?
Xiao Tang was silent for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "General, the rice we brought this time has been eaten. β
Sima Hui paused, didn't say anything, picked up a piece of pot helmet in the bowl and put it in his mouth and took a bite, and finally swallowed the food in his mouth with white water.
She glanced at the other dishes, a small plate of black sauce, half a plate of salty 'meat', she put down the pot helmet in her hand, "The generals in the camp eat this every day?"
With Xiao Yan's previous experience, Xiao Tang didn't dare to hide anything from his general.
"Yes, these are taken by the slaves and maids from the gang leaders, even if the general eats these every day, the dried 'meat' and sauce are still because the general is a 'woman', and General Qian specially ordered to take care of you. β
Sima Hui's heroic brows furrowed, and he keenly felt that there was something wrong.
"Except for me, what do the other soldiers of the border army eat every day?"
"The daily share of the small soldiers who do not go to war is two bowls of bean porridge and a pot helmet, and the soldiers on the front line have three meals a day, one pot helmet and one bowl of bean porridge for one meal. β
Hearing this answer, Sima Hui's eyes widened in surprise, "When did the border army start eating bean porridge?"
Xiao Tang is obviously much more reliable than Xiao Yan, she is delicate, and she has already inquired about these news in the camp on weekdays.
"We started eating it before we came, but at that time, the bean porridge was only one meal a day, and there was some rice porridge in the morning and evening, but since the end of last month, the camp has stopped eating rice at all. The army member said that it was to save food to survive the winter. β
Sima Hui was not so simple, her face was worried, she got up and walked to the curtain, stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and a biting cold wind immediately poured in from outside the tent, mixed with ice and snow, which made people want to shiver.
Where would you wait until winter, and store grain on such a cold day, not to make people freeze to death?
I'm afraid that the camp is already empty...... q
