At the same time, the gate of Meiyang Village finally opened, and Simya finally came with nearly a hundred young people from Meiyang Village to pay their respects.
However, as soon as they entered the camp, they saw several soldiers standing at the door. There was a large pot on the table with buds steaming on the side.
Before getting close, Minnie knew what it was just by smelling it.
After two days in Mero Town, I already knew what this was. I happily ran to the soldiers and gave an irregular military salute to the two soldiers who had been waiting for a long time.
She saw Merlot soldiers often saluting like this, so she secretly learned it.
Seeing Minnie's cute and funny military salute, the two soldiers did not laugh at her and returned the salute with a smile.
"Little girl, have you been to Mero Town?" One of the soldiers took out a wooden bowl with a bowl of broth, and also gave her a bract fruit.
"Is one enough?"
Minnie was also very hungry, so she took a sip of the soup and quickly drank it regardless of how hot it was. The taste was still the same, but after just one sip, Minnie felt full of strength.
"Been there, I was a prisoner of the Armored Bandit Group." Minnie showed a pair of small fangs and said with a smile.
"Can I get another one?"
The soldier smiled and nodded, took another one to Minnie, and then pointed at the villagers standing in the distance.
"Are those people from your village? Tell them to line up and have something to eat before going over. Sir, they are also eating."
Minnie nodded and ran back quickly with the buds and broth.
Everyone stared directly at the buds in Minnie's hands, especially the smell of the broth, which made them drool.
I don’t know how long it has been since the last time I ate meat.
"Erya, how did you get something to eat?" As a father, Simya was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back and he asked regardless of his face.
"That's all prepared for us by the lord. Dad, please arrange for someone to go up the mountain and bring mom down. Everyone has a share, but they have to line up and don't jump in line or make trouble, otherwise Brother Bing won't give you food.
.”
After Minnie finished speaking, she looked at the man who was almost too hungry to walk, and took another sip of broth.
"Forget it, let me call you! You go and line up first, remember not to jump in line, maintain order, don't make loud noises in the military camp, and most importantly, don't block the door and affect other people's access."
After Minnie finished speaking, she happily ran back to the village.
Simya led the people over doubtfully, and specifically repeated what Minnie said.
"Sorry! We're late, don't worry, we will drive those invaders out of the Mero area soon, and you can go home soon."
The soldier from the cooking squad placed two bract baskets in Simya's hands and pointed to the dozen bowls of broth already served beside them.
“Just grab a bowl!”
Simya and other villagers were squatting on the side of the military camp gate, eating buds in their mouths and drinking broth in bowls. No one devoured it. They all savored the delicious food in front of them, and the memories of the soldiers just now kept echoing in their minds.
what was said.
The tone of the conversation was like that of a family member, without being overbearing. It was like being bullied as a child and the elder brother came over to help him get revenge, that kind of warmth of family.
Unknowingly, Simya, a man with a heart of steel, actually shed tears.
He didn't cry when his eldest brother starved to death, and he didn't cry when his daughter was taken away.
But he cried today just because he had a full meal.
Crying is contagious. I don’t know who took the lead. Hundreds of young and old men actually cried. Their cries were very small, but together with so many people, it was loud.
A group of patrolling soldiers passed by, took a deep look, and then turned their heads.
"They are all suffering too much," said a soldier from Wude Village.
"We weren't the same before. It wasn't until the lord came that we had the good life we have now." The veteran squad leader who was born in Merlo Town also said with a sigh.
"I have sworn in front of the graves of my parents who starved to death. From now on, I will fight for the lord. No matter how powerful the enemy is, even if I know that I will definitely die, I will fight for the lord until the last drop of blood."
Another soldier said firmly.
Simya heard the soldiers' conversation and subconsciously raised his head to look at them. The soldiers just smiled and nodded at them and continued to patrol.
"Maybe Minnie is right."
When Minnie came down with all the old, young, women and children on the mountain, she happened to see the old men crying in the tent, looking at them in confusion.
As for the old, young, women and children, they were frightened by the sight, thinking that something had happened to them, and some were even so scared that they turned around and left.
The veteran of the cooking class knocked on the iron pot with a spoon and shouted angrily.
"Aren't you a big man? Are you scaring people?"
When Simya heard this, he looked at his wife and children not far away, his old face suddenly turned red, he stood up quickly, swallowed the remaining food in a few times, got up and ran over, directing the villagers to line up for dinner.
When arrangements were made for all the villagers to eat, Simya just wanted to express his gratitude to the soldiers in the cooking squad.
The soldiers in the cooking squad waved their hands angrily.
"We are all Merlots, and there is so much nonsense." Veteran Jim waved his hand and asked someone to clean up, then left in a swaggering manner.
"Dad, are you okay? That's great!"
Landol was limping over with the support of William.
"Is your foot okay?" Simya asked nervously.
"It's okay. The wound has been treated and you will be able to jump around soon." Landol waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Sir William!"
When Mei Ni saw William appearing, she immediately came over with cheerful steps.
When William saw Minnie running over, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
"I feel relieved to see that you are okay. When I saw that the enemy's force was strong, I withdrew immediately. The town commander and lord who reported the matter sent reinforcements as soon as possible after getting the news. Fortunately,
We have to leave early, otherwise we might not be able to catch up."
After hearing William's words, Simya admired the lord even more.
"Thank you sir for saving your life." After Simya said that, he started to kneel down, but was stopped by William.
"Haha, like father, like son!" Goode's laughter was hearty.
Ever since he gave birth to his son in middle age, life has been getting better and better, and Goode seems to be living more and more youthfully.
When William saw the officers, he quickly stood up straight and raised his hands in salute.
Gawain and others also responded very cooperatively.
"This is Chief Gawain, the commander-in-chief of the entire army this time. This is Chief Ryan, the commander of the heavy-armed guards. This is Chief Good, the commander of the Merlot Army."
