Chapter 351: Handling Technique (Happy Holidays, Everyone~)
General Lin asked Wu Ming to return to the princess, it seems that although this General Lin is not bright, he still has a lot of experience in facing the enemy.
Wu Ming also planned to go back to the rear, if there were really assassins coming, those soldiers might not be able to deal with it.
At this moment, there was a sudden hoarse shouting in front of him.
"Selling watermelon~Fragrant and sweet watermelon~"
Wu Ming was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the place where the voice came from.
On the side of the official road, I don't know when a middle-aged man with a yellow face appeared, this person was squatting on the side of the road, his front was empty, and he shouted loudly and lowly.
The soldiers in the team couldn't help but be a little strange, there was nothing in front of this yellow-faced man, where was the watermelon he was selling?
General Lin reined in his horse's head and shouted: "We are ordered to travel, and the idlers will quickly retreat!"
The yellow-faced man on the side of the road turned his eyes around, and said with a smile: "General, Xiaomin's small business, you don't let me sell melons, what do I rely on to eat!"
"!"
General Lin was furious: "There is nothing in front of you, what nonsense is selling melons, and if you mess around, I will let you dare to leave!"
The yellow-faced man didn't panic at all: "The general is angry, my melon is not picked in advance, but planted and sold." ”
"Grow and sell?"
When the soldiers around heard the words of the yellow-faced man in rags, they burst into laughter.
Selling watermelons can still be planted and sold, so won't the daylilies be cold when they grow, and most of this yellow-faced man has a brain problem!
Wu Ming stood in place, staring at the yellow-faced man in front of him, and did not laugh with the others, he had seen many strange people, such as Lu Dongbin, who sold rice balls.
This kind of seemingly absurd person often can't be underestimated, and now I don't know whether the other party is friend or foe, so don't act rashly for the time being.
General Lin had a hot temper, and he couldn't bear it anymore at the moment: "You man! If you continue to talk nonsense, I will cut off your head!"
"Your Excellency!"
The yellow-faced man stood up: "I'll start planting now, and when the watermelons grow, I'll ask the generals and soldiers to taste them for free." ”
The soldiers around him laughed and laughed at the moment, and they all stared intently at the man in front of them, wanting to see what tricks he was going to do.
The yellow-faced man stood in place, digging through his torn clothes for a long time, and finally found a black thing, the size of his thumb belly, which looked like a seed.
He grabbed the seed, crouched down and dug a shallow pit in the ground with his fingers, then placed the seed in it and covered it with a thin layer of soil.
Standing up, the yellow-faced man grinned at General Lin: "My lord, can I borrow some water?"
General Lin's face was gloomy, and he snorted: "Give him water!"
Seeing this meaning, just wait for the yellow-faced man to fail and cut off his head.
A guard on the side handed his kettle to the yellow-faced man, who thanked him and opened the lid of the kettle and poured water on the ground.
Hiss...... Hiss......
The clear water seeped into the earth, and suddenly there was a slight hissing sound, and the soil on the ground turned to both sides, arching a tender green seedling.
"It's really growing!"
"Grow so fast!"
A large number of soldiers watching around suddenly let out a burst of exclamation, and this young seedling grew at an extremely fast speed under the watchful eyes of everyone, and in the blink of an eye, it became a teng tree more than three meters high.
Wu Ming couldn't help but be taken aback, he hadn't seen this kind of spell before, it didn't seem to be an illusion, and the Haoran righteousness in his body didn't react, indicating that the yellow-faced man in front of him was not a demon.
When the tree grows to a height of about three meters, it stops growing and raises a lush foliage.
The yellow-faced man looked up and frowned: "My lord, you still need more water, otherwise you won't be able to bear fruit." ”
"Use my water!"
"Use my ......!"
When the soldiers saw this novel scene for the first time, they immediately untied their water bladders and poured the water to the ground, which became a mess for a while, and even General Lin's scolding in the rear was useless.
A large amount of water was poured into the ground, and this strange vine immediately began to grow again, this time the growth speed was faster than before, and in a blink of an eye, the main trunk became the thickness of a person's hug, and the huge rattan seemed to be pulled by an invisible line, straight up into the sky, and it was hundreds of meters high.
A gust of wind blew, and the rattan in the sky shook slightly, and then something fell from the sky, at first it looked like it was only the size of a sesame seed, and when it fell to the ground, it made a loud noise, and the ground shook and trembled.
The soldiers around looked at the ground and immediately exclaimed.
These fell to the ground are indeed watermelons, each of which is the size of a basin, and grows smooth and full!
The yellow-faced man smiled and looked at General Lin: "General, the watermelon has ripened and fallen, I will honor the preface, please feel free to taste it with you and the soldiers." ”
General Lin frowned and said nothing, and some of the soldiers on the side had already rushed forward quickly, drew their sabers and split a watermelon in front of him in half.
The watermelon parted from it, and suddenly a mellow smell of wine wafted out.
The soldier was stunned for a moment: "This watermelon is wine?"
The yellow-faced man was still smiling unhurriedly: "There is everything in this watermelon, and it depends on your luck what kind of delicious food you can eat." ”
Several soldiers on the side also walked up, each splitting the watermelon in front of him, and sure enough, there was pasta, some jerky, and even a watermelon with a whole roast chicken in it.
The aroma of wine was overflowing, and the food was at present, and the soldiers couldn't resist the temptation and began to eat and drink with watermelons in their hands.
General Lin was immediately furious, although he was not on the battlefield at the moment, these soldiers had violated military discipline by drinking alcohol at will during the march.
"Let me go! If anyone disobeys the order, he will be dealt with by military law!"
General Lin shouted, the chaotic situation finally subsided, and the soldiers reluctantly put the watermelon in their hands on the ground and retreated backwards.
The yellow-faced man still had a smile on his face: "General, I said that these watermelons are for you and the soldiers to eat, why do you bother to do this." ”
General Lin snorted: "You are here to disturb the morale of the army with demon magic and delay the advance of the army, if you don't retreat, I will blame you!"
"My lord, it's not good!"
At this moment, a fast horse came from the rear of the team, and the adjutant on the horse looked panicked and rushed to General Lin's approach.
"General, there is a problem with the baggage convoy accompanying the rear team! Many of the grain and meat in the cart have disappeared inexplicably, and even the imperial wine that the emperor gave to the Hun court is missing more than ten jars!"
"What!"
General Lin was suddenly shocked: "How do you take care of it!"
The adjutant looked like he was crying: "My lord, we haven't relaxed for a moment, and there are no suspicious people approaching the convoy along the way." It was I who noticed that the rut suddenly became shallow, suspected that there was something wrong with the things in the car, and opened the inventory to find the problem. ”
General Lin was immediately furious, it was okay to say that the food in the army was lost, and even the emperor's imperial wine was lost, which was a big crime to kill the head!
"Send someone to search the surrounding area for hundreds of miles, and arrest all the bandits for me to torture!"
"Wait. ”
Wu Ming opened his mouth to stop the general, and then looked at the yellow-faced man standing under the giant vine in front of him: "The thing was not stolen by the bandits, it was done by this person." ”
