Not to mention all kinds of meat and vegetables, just a mouthful of white rice and a mouthful of hot soup with chopped green onions will make everyone burst into tears.
Only when it is lost can one realize how precious food is. They no longer complain about the unpalatable food in the military camp.
How could it taste worse than the tasteless living creatures on the island?
The taste of eating rice with big mouthfuls is so good! This simple feeling of happiness filled everyone's hearts and went straight to their throats, making their throats sore.
"I have decided that from now on the young general will be my brother, and the young general's wife will be my sister-in-law!"
"Yes, brother and sister-in-law!"
"Yes, we are all brothers!"
After this disaster, everyone has been relying on each other on the island for this month, and has long shared life and death.
Mu Yan was very moved, but he could not take them back to Beijing like this.
After dinner, he left them behind.
Hesitating: "I'm very happy that everyone regards me as a brother..."
The more this happened, he suddenly didn't know how to speak. Everyone has the right to choose to live, and they are still so young.
"Brother, brother!" After drinking and eating, everyone came to life again.
"If you have anything to say, young general, just say it. If it weren't for the young general's encouragement, I might not be able to persist."
"Yes, I gave up a long time ago. Fortunately, the young general kept encouraging us and asked us to wait for Madam. If the general has anything to say, we are all good brothers who have gone through adversity together."
"Yan, I would like to thank all the brothers." Mu Yan clasped his fists at everyone.
"There were a total of two thousand brothers who came out this time. Now, we are the only ones left..."
Everyone fell silent and looked sad.
They can still see the sun again, but others can no longer see the sun rise and set.
We are going to trap the leader of the thief. This trip is unpredictable. If there are any brothers who want to return to Beijing, I will arrange for everyone to leave."
"Revenge, revenge!"
"Trap the thief leader and return to the capital with meritorious service!"
"Kill all the bandits and return to Beijing with meritorious service!"
Several people stood up excitedly to express their position. Although there were only nine of them, they were also passionate and wanted to avenge their brothers.
So many brothers are still looking at them and will protect them. Even if something happens, it's not a big deal to gather with them underground.
They originally came out to suppress the bandits, but their mission has not yet been completed.
"Okay! Thank you all brothers for your trust. Then we will discuss how to deploy..."
Mu Yan and the remaining eight people, plus the manpower arranged by Duiba, plus Huo Xi's people, plus Zhang Fu's manpower, dozens of people discussed it until the middle of the moon.
On the deck, Huo Xi and Mu Yan were lying on the deck, with their heads resting on their hands, watching the stars together.
Looking at the starry sky at sea, the stars in the sky appear extremely close and bright, as if they are within reach.
Huo Xi stretched out her hand and made a grasping gesture towards the sky. Mu Yan looked at her quietly with a smile on his lips.
"If you want something else, even if it costs my life, I can do it for you. But if you want the stars in the sky, I'm afraid I won't be able to pluck them for you."
Huo Xi glanced at him angrily, "It's fine hanging in the sky, why take it off? You have to build a big house to house it. It's a waste of money."
Mu Yan chuckled, hugged her over, and let her rest on his chest to look at the stars.
I was afraid that her head would hurt from hitting the deck.
"I'll take you ashore tomorrow morning."
"No." Huo Xi refused.
"Be obedient."
"I have the final say on my ship." Huo Xi replied domineeringly.
"Your ship is now requisitioned by the military."
"Tsk, tsk, if you give me money, then you can requisition it?"
"I'll make up for it when I get back to Beijing."
"Girl, I'm not short of money. Either let me stay on the ship, or refuse to requisition."
Mu Yan looked down at her helplessly, and raised a big palm to cover her eyes. These big, fluttering eyes were too bright for him to refuse.
When Huo Xi pulled down his big palm, he put his hand on her mouth again. This little thing had been able to speak well since she was a child, which he couldn't say.
My heart is full of helplessness.
Suddenly Huo Xi pecked his hand, which made his heart tremble. He looked down at her...
But he saw that Huo Xi had grabbed his palm, and was gently grinding his teeth on the largest piece of tender flesh in his palm.
Mu Yan reacted immediately, and his heart felt as if someone had been gently scratched by a snow-white feather. He refused to stop, it was sweet and painful.
Holding Huo Xi in his arms, he sat up and said, "It's night, I'll take you to rest."
"It's rare for me to see such a starry sky, and I haven't seen enough yet!"
"I'll come out with you later to see."
Without any explanation, he half-supported and half-carried Huo Xi into her cabin. He stopped at the door and looked down at Huo Xi. Finally, he couldn't help but lowered his head and covered her...
In the dream, I didn't realize that I was a guest, and I just had a lot of fun.
Huo Xi lay on his chest and panted. Mu Yan held her in his arms and tried to restrain himself, "I will propose marriage to your father when I get back. Okay?"
"Um."
"Go in and rest, and have a good sleep."
"good."
Seeing that he was about to leave, he remembered the boxes of things Zhang Fu sent, "My father gave me a few boxes of things sealed by the army, the seals of the Ministry of War..."
Mu Yan nodded: "I already know. It is the latest gunpowder developed by the army. It will be used this time. Don't worry, I know it well. Go in and sleep."
Huo Xi woke up the next day and found that the ship was moving. She hurriedly packed up and went outside, where she found that everyone on the deck was on guard.
Mu Yan and others all dressed up as sailors.
"Are you up?" Mu Yan saw her coming out, walked over and hugged her, "I'll go with you to have something to eat."
"I'm not hungry yet." He looked around and said, "Are you trying to pretend to be a merchant ship to lure those pirates?"
Mu Yan nodded: "It's impossible for them not to be tempted by such a large merchant ship. Then we can just wait for the other party to come to our door."
Huo Xi looked at him: "Those people have seen you, haven't they? Let me dress you up to cover up the heroic spirit between your brows and make you look more like a sailor."
"That's fine." Mu Yan felt that Huo Xi was very thoughtful. He had dealt with many thieves and was afraid that the other party would recognize them.
Immediately, Li Yikaner and several others also dressed up, some as sailors and some as fleet guards.
"You should also change into men's clothes." If you don't take care of it then, if something happens to Xi'er, he will be destroyed.
Everything was ready, and the boat curved in the sea.
After a whole morning, there was not even a fishing boat around. Mu Yan and others also learned that some counties and towns along the coast were sick. No wonder they didn't see half a fishing boat after waiting for a month.
No pirate ship was seen either.
It wasn't until noon that Li Yi finally called out: "Master, it's coming, there's something going on!"
