Listening to Zhao Luoyang's words, Mrs. Bai thought of her nephew. It would be great if he was here, but she didn't know how to be happy in her heart.
At this age, it is really good to have someone in your heart and think of him all the time.
After everything was said, Mrs. Bai said: "You can go to Cha Shuo's place later and see if there is anything else you want to tell him."
Zhao Luoyang responded.
Now that Cha Shuo was with Huai Guang and Nie Shuang, she just wanted to see how the military rations and medicines were prepared.
After Zhao Luoyang left, Mrs. Bai returned to Mrs. Bai's house. Ms. Bai had been busy doing needlework and didn't even raise her head to look at Mrs. Bai.
Mrs. Bai put a cup of hot tea in front of Ms. Bai. Ms. Bai then raised her face. Her eyes were slightly red, and her eyes were full of complaints: "Why are you so cruel? You refused to recognize your son before.
, and now we have just asked him to kowtow to us, and let him die."
As she spoke, Bai couldn't help but choked up: "You might as well let me go."
Mrs. Bai's nose was also a little sore, but she remained calm: "If I let you go, you can still ride a horse? You take your tribe to herd? Do you think they can believe it?"
Bai stopped what she was doing and her eyes gradually blurred: "What if something happens to my son?"
"What else can we do?" Bai Pozi said, "That's his life, the path he chooses. If he doesn't want to, I won't let him be a bait."
Zha Shuo made the right choice, but who would have thought? What Mrs. Bai said that night was referring to today.
Bai was silent for a long time before saying: "Sometimes I think, it's better to just forget about it, forget about everything in the past, and live peacefully here."
Mrs. Bai said: "Ansheng is not something you can hide from, nor can you ask for from others, but is something you hold in your own hands."
Bai Shi naturally knew about it, so she could only worry.
"We have done everything we can," said Mrs. Bai. "When we grow old and die in a few years, what will he do when he faces this again? Who will help him plan?"
Everything Mrs. Bai said was right, and Mrs. Bai couldn't refute it, so she could only lower her head and continue to sew Zha Shuo's robe.
"Don't worry," Mrs. Bai said, "he is very happy."
Cha Shuo is in a very good mood. Although there may be great danger this time, he stands with the mothers and clearly knows what he should do.
The only thing that makes Cha Shuo feel pity is...
"Is this the only type of firearm you can carry?"
Zhao Luoyang said to Cha Shuo: "To be on the safe side, there are only so many." Although the firearms they made had been tried many times, Cha Shuo and the others had to travel a long distance after all. If they were stored improperly, they would hurt themselves first.
"Besides, there aren't many people who know how to use firearms, so these are enough."
These were arranged by Zhao Luoyang, and Zha Shuo could only listen.
The food preparations are sufficient, and cheese and dried meat are easy to carry. It seems that they only have food for ten days and a half, but in fact, it can last for a month.
This was carefully calculated by Zhao Luoyang and Mr. Song.
"Remember where to get the water," Zhao Luoyang turned to tell Bai Yuwei, "the water must be boiled before you can drink it."
They were going to herd, so they had to be accompanied by female relatives, otherwise those people would definitely find out the clues, and some things really had to be left to the female relatives.
Bai Yuwei nodded.
"There is also a medicine box," Zhao Luoyang said. "What are those medicinal powders used for? Be sure to remember them clearly."
The medicines that Zhao Luoyang exchanged from the system were ground up and put into porcelain bottles. The advantage of this is that no matter who sees them again, they will not question where these medicines came from.
"You have to calculate how much food you eat every day," Zhao Luoyang said. "The accounts I give you are clearly written."
Rations must be carefully calculated and must be supported until reinforcements arrive. Bai Yuwei does not dare to be careless.
"Is there anything else I missed?" Zhao Luoyang asked Shi Jiu in his mind.
Shi Jiu said: "No, you have already checked everything."
Zhao Luoyang took a deep breath, and now she felt it was okay: "I have to go to Mr. Xie to work harder. I don't want you to listen to the recorder all day long."
Every time he took the recorder back from Xie Chen, Shi Jiu had to listen to it, which was really annoying.
This time the village was used as bait, but Xie Chen didn't know about it. Only in this way would Xie Chen be more worried about the village.
…
Xie Chen and Song Guangyan led their troops around the village a few times and found nothing strange, but Xie Chen's face became increasingly ugly.
Song Guangyan reined up his horse and said, "What doubts do you have, sir?"
Xie Chen fought with Jiang Wei when he was young. Even if he didn't understand, he could understand more or less by listening to Jiang Wei talking in his ears all day long.
If there's anything wrong with Taozhou, it's that it's too quiet.
Before the spring plowing, there were some unknown horse hoof marks around the village, but no traces were found in the past few days. Are those people really so confident about the village? Xie Chen doesn’t believe it. Even without those people’s informants, there will always be some bandits and bandits nearby, right?
?But these people also disappeared.
Therefore, it can only be that someone made arrangements behind the scenes in order to allow the villagers to graze freely and boldly.
But the champion of the Song Dynasty obviously didn't notice it, and even breathed a sigh of relief for the peace in Taozhou.
Xie Chen wanted to make it clear to Song Guangyan, but it turned out that all this was just intuition without any evidence. Song Zhuangyuan was a difficult person to convince.
Xie Chen could only try to give some advice: "The people in the village are going to graze. I heard that there are a lot of animals this time, and the men in the village have to leave."
Song Guangyan nodded: "I hope everyone will have a good harvest this autumn."
Xie Chen held his breath in his throat and looked at Song Guangyan next to him in disbelief. He chatted for a long time. Song Zhuangyuan didn't understand the meaning of his words at all.
Thinking of this, Xie Chen could only be convinced and rode forward until he reached the gate of the village. Mr. Xie did not say another word to Song Zhuangyuan.
Song Guangyan looked at Xie Chen's back and couldn't help smacking his lips. His father had told him not to answer whatever Mr. Xie said. He couldn't figure out why, but he still knew how to pretend to be deaf and dumb. In fact, he had some thoughts, but
On the road to becoming an official, he had stumbled too many times. Now that it involved fighting and planning, he... simply gave up and didn't think about it. Anyway, his junior sister was here.
Song Guangyan turned over and dismounted, and saw the figure of his junior sister from a distance.
Well, he didn't have to think about it anymore. He might as well take this opportunity to take a look at the ditch built in the village.
"Thank you, sir, for your hard work." Zhao Luoyang walked over and saluted.
Xie Chen came to the village more often, and there was no longer any politeness when meeting everyone.
"Mother Bai just came here," Zhao Luoyang said, "The village is busy today. If you don't mind, please stay and eat."
Xie Chen naturally knew why the village was so lively, because the men were leaving and the family always had to have a meal together.
Just as Xie Chen was thinking about it, he saw a group of children running over panting. The children were holding dried meat in their hands and their faces were full of smiles.
How big a deal is it for children to be able to eat meat?
But some people can't eat it.
Bai Yuwei pulled the little one over and asked, "Why don't you eat?"
Little Niuniu's eyes were red: "My father and brother are leaving tomorrow and won't come back for a long time. But my mother said that when they come back, there will be more cattle and sheep, and we will have clothes to wear.
There’s cheese to eat.”
Bai Yuwei nodded: "Your mother-in-law is right."
"Sister Awei, are you leaving too?" Little Niuniu tried her best to stand on tiptoe, "Can you take me there too?"
After Xiao Niuniu finished speaking, the children all followed: "I'm going too, I'm going too..."
Xie Chen stood aside and looked at Bai Yuwei and the children, his chest suddenly felt a little sore.
