I farmed in ancient times

Chapter 84 Catching a Thief

The white snow is overlapping and flying, and the inside and outside of the city are covered with silver, with jade trees and silver flowers.

The temperature was extremely low, and the thin tents could not resist the cold at all. After being injured, many soldiers began to have fever and symptoms of wind chill.

Fearing that the wind and cold would infect each other, Li Di ordered people to separate the people who had the wind and cold, and ordered them to prepare a large amount of medicinal herbs for preventing and curing the wind and cold.

Food and grass were in short supply, so all the people inside and outside the city took action to collect food.

The cost of farming and harvesting for the common people is not much higher, and the average family can barely make ends meet. In case of another natural disaster or man-made disaster, even making ends meet will be a problem.

There was not much food left in Yuanzhou City. After discussing with several other Xiang soldiers, Li Di asked someone to lead a team to a village farther away to ask if there was any surplus food.

Food is about to run out.Li Di is anxious, and Li Xiurong is also anxious. Weng Weng is one of the generals guarding Yuanzhou. If this matter cannot be handled well, let the officials know that demotion is the lowest punishment.

I don't know what Weng Weng was thinking, but within two years after he threw himself into the military camp, he went to Yuanzhou to lead the army in person at such an old age.

It was night, the snow stopped, and there was silence outside the military tent.

I only drank a bowl of clear rice porridge for dinner, and my stomach was empty after a little exercise. I heard that Yanzhou allocated food and grass to help, but was stopped on the way and was not allowed to send it to Yuanzhou. Li Xiurong was on the bed like a pancake Flipping the front and back of the bed, I couldn't fall asleep.

Now that the Yuanzhou army has just fought a tough battle, it is time to rest and eat more food to support them. How can they do it without food and grass?

There was a "creaking" sound of stepping on the snow outside, Li Xiurong simply got up, put on a cotton coat, and planned to see how much food and grass were left, and if he couldn't do it, he personally applied for someone to go to other states to "borrow" some food and grass.

The sky on a snowy night was red and bright, and the road could be seen clearly without lighting. Li Xiurong took his identity card and opened a corner of the tent to go out. After rubbing it, he slowly walked towards the place where the grain and grass were placed.

Seeing someone approaching, the soldiers guarding the food and grass vigilantly put their halberds in front of the approacher, and stopped him by shouting, "Stop! Who is it!"

"Li Xiurong, Deputy Commander of the Third Battalion." Li Xiurong took out the fish card, and the soldier faced the jade card, and softened his tone, "What is the Deputy Commander doing here so late?"

"Can't sleep, let's take a look along the way." Li Xiurong put away the fish card handed back by the soldiers and hung it on his waist, "I'm going."

The soldier nodded and let the people behind him go, and Li Xiurong swaggered into the opponent's food and grass place.

After the accident, the rest of the grain and grass were piled up separately, the tents were filled with noodles, and the tarpaulins covered them were mostly chopped hay for the war horses.

Li Xiurong bent down and lifted a piece of tarpaulin. The tarpaulin was covered with sacks of rice. In order to prevent moisture, an overhead wooden board was placed at the bottom to separate the rice sacks from the ground.

Looking around, there is really not much food left in the army.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the corner of the tent.

Li Xiurong's heart sank, and he tiptoed over. Taking advantage of the moonlight, Li Xiurong saw clearly that the black figure was a masked man wearing soldier clothes, squatting in a corner of the tent, and was about to sneak in.

"What are you doing!" Li Xiurong yelled, the masked man was startled, and then quickly put down the tent, turned around and ran, as if after countless drills, he avoided the soldiers guarding the grain and grass, got out from the loose wooden fence, and picked the snow The footprints in the ground are mixed and fled.

How can it be easy to let this secret work slip away?Li Xiurong was very familiar with the layout of the barracks, and followed closely behind the masked man.

After turning a few turns, the masked man seemed to be in a hurry. The white air exhaled through the black cloth covering his face was chaotic, and his footsteps became chaotic. The face man fell to the ground tightly.

The two bodies collided together, and the masked man let out a muffled snort when he fell to the ground. Li Xiurong took the opportunity to lift his legs, put his whole body weight on the masked man, freed up a hand, and pulled the man out of the mask. A black cloth on the face.

In the snowy night, the two people's breaths collided with each other, and after their eyes met, the person under the pressure turned away silently.

After seeing the true face of the person under him, Li Xiurong couldn't help clasping his wrist tightly, and said in surprise, "Jade!?"

Jueming rolled his eyes angrily, and said with disgust, "Get up quickly, you're crushing me to death."

Li Xiurong, who was pressing on Cassia Ming, was silent for a moment without moving.

"What's wrong?" Jue Ming asked.

"When did you come here?" Li Xiurong asked suddenly, then he got up suddenly, grabbed Jue Ming's wrist, and pulled him up, "Go, I'll take you back."

"Go back?" Jue Ming felt that his words were a bit strange, so he couldn't help asking: "Where are you going back?"

"Go home!" Li Xiurong said with indescribable anger without turning his head, "Do you know how dangerous the battlefield is?! Who told you to come here!"

"Aren't you here too?" Jueming twisted his wrist, but did not move away.

If Li Xiurong knew that he was captured by mistake, he would not faint out of anger, but would jump up in anger.

Li Xiurong suddenly stopped and turned to Cassia.

"That doesn't work either, you have to go back."

"Why." Jue Ming said: "I entered the barracks with my ability, and I came here unscathed after several battles, big and small. Why do I have to go back!!!"

Li Xiurong let go of his wrist, wrapped his arms around his waist and moved forward suddenly.

Staring at Li Xiurong's face that was close at hand, Cassia's breath stopped.

"Also?" Li Xiurong's face was dark, and the cold air on his face seemed to be able to freeze an ice bump out of thin air at any time.

Jue Ming: "Why should I..."

Li Xiurong immediately lowered his head and moved forward.

With two cold and red noses touching each other, Caesar's heart beat violently, and the sound of their heartbeats could be heard directly in the silent snowy night.

The light refracted by the snow is actually brighter than the daytime.

After a long time, Li Xiurong let go of his hand, let out a breath of white air, his face was still dark.

Jueming lowered his head, pinched his red and hot ears with both hands, and thought to himself: When did this guy get so thick-skinned.

It is impossible to persuade Jueming, and it is impossible to persuade him in this life.

Li Xiurong breathed a sigh of relief, humming and said, "It's not impossible to stay..."

Cassia blinked.

"Come with me." Li Xiurong turned and walked in front, throwing the black cloth covering his face to Caesar.

Jueming clasped his hands and grabbed the black cloth. Li Xiurong had already walked five steps away from him. He hurriedly chased after him, for fear that Li Xiurong would repent.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Jue Ming always felt that Li Xiurong's footsteps seemed a little lighter.

The two of them went back behind the pile of grain and hay, and found the fence that Cassia Ming had drilled out. Li Xiurong blocked the top of the fence with his hand, let Cassia Ming get in first, and then he got in, and asked him as they walked, "How long have you been here?"

Jue Ming calculated, "Five or six months?"

"Five or six months?!" Li Xiurong raised his voice, and Jue Ming was so frightened that he wanted to jump up and cover his mouth. Fortunately, Li Xiurong calmed down immediately, pulled Jue Ming onto the haystack, lifted a corner of the oilcloth, and let Jue Ming Ming sits down.

"No, you have to go back." Li Xiurong said: "Xia Jun is brutal, you are not safe here."

How could it be so easy to go back, Jue Ming hooked his head and covered his knees with his hands, "I came under Guo Kai's name, I'm afraid it will be troublesome to go back."

"Guo Kai?" Li Xiurong asked, "The Guo Kai who cooks?"

Jue Ming nodded, and Li Xiurong then asked, "The Guo Kai that Chen Xinhong transferred to be the archer?"

Cassia nodded, like a chicken pecking at rice.

Li Xiurong took a deep breath, not knowing what to say.

Cassia was right under his nose, but he didn't notice it for five or six months.

"What about the Guo Kai people?" Li Xiurong opened the oilcloth a little more, sat next to Cassia Ming, and heard Cassia Ming say, "I don't know, maybe it's in Zaozi Township, Yang County."

If Guo Kai was here, he would not have traveled all the way to Yuanzhou to serve as a soldier. Jueming sighed softly, "It's okay, it's fine in Yuanzhou."

"I'll take you to Weng Weng, he may have a solution." Li Xiurong said: "I can't let you stay here anymore, Mr. Cen must be very anxious."

Jueming nodded, "Can I write a letter back now?"

Others may not be able to, but Weng Weng will definitely be able to pass the letter back to Bianjing, Li Xiurong nodded, "Yes."

"That's good." Jueming felt at ease, no matter what, he sent a letter home first so that Father Cen would not have to worry. I guess Zhong Xin is still looking for where he was transferred?

Tonight, Cassia Ming was exceptionally docile. Li Xiurong rested his elbows on his legs, rested his face in one hand, and tilted his head to look at Cassia Ming. And shaking.

Li Xiurong: "What were you doing secretly just now?"

"Ahem!" Jueming clenched his fist under his mouth and coughed in a low voice, quickly making up a reason in his mind: "I just came to see how much food there is."

"Sneak in with your face covered?" Li Xiurong asked teasingly, "Isn't it hard to find the loophole in the fence? How many days have you been looking for?"

—— Li Xiurong really changed!

His cheeks became hot rapidly, Jue Ming pretended not to hear, and pretended to look around, but there was no scenery to see, and the dark shadows of the trees swayed with the gusts of cold wind, like ghosts.

Seeing that his ears were all red, Li Xiurong laughed sullenly, "I'm not kidding you, it's cold at night, go back and rest."

Cassia nodded hurriedly to Li Xiurong, agreeing very much, the two eyes met, Li Xiurong slowly got up, and looked down at Cassia.

He lost weight and grew taller.Jueming thought to himself, although his face was haggard, his eyes were very bright.

Li Xiurong has changed too much. The war has worn that escaped young man into the calm appearance he is now.

Li Xiurong lowered his eyes. He still remembers the first time he saw Cassia, he was only as tall as bean sprouts, and he was unbelievably thin. Ten years later, no matter how much Cassia has changed, those obsidian eyes are always bright.

Looking down, seeing Jueming's chin with a small stubble, Li Xiurong touched his own, and the two of them couldn't agree more.

"I'll... go back first." Jueming stretched his legs and took a big step to the right before getting up and quickly walked along the way he came. He muttered, "What are you doing running so fast, I won't eat you again."
