Sitting on the ground, Chen Mu quietly stared at Han Xiner for a long time, only thinking of this word to describe him.
This is a person who looks so ordinary that if you throw him into a crowd, it would be difficult to find him.
But it was just such a man who led a mere thousand men and horses into the enemy's camp on a starry night. He captured the enemy's general in the middle of the army and saved the Shu army from danger.
Moreover, it can be seen that he is only fifteen or sixteen years old.
However, Chen Mu didn't say much at the moment, he just nodded and said: "If we can completely annihilate these tens of thousands of Tatar troops this time, you Han Xin'er will be indispensable. Not only will the Longxia court reward you, but also when I return."
You will be rewarded with a large sum of money."
I thought that Han Xin'er would leave happily. After all, the moment he captured the two kings, it was destined that as long as he returned alive, wealth and title would be with him instantly.
A man lives his whole life just for money and power.
But unexpectedly, Han Xiner not only did not stand up, but said very calmly: "I am satisfied if I can do some chores by Brother Mu's side. If Brother Mu really wants to reward me, can you promise me something?"
Upon hearing these words, Chen Mu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. At that moment, he couldn't help but think of a very famous saying in his previous life: I don't like money, I'm not interested in money.
"I hope that when I go back this time, Brother Mu can marry my sister."
"I'm going!"
As soon as the words came out, Chen Mu was so shocked that he almost fell over.
He quickly glanced at Qi Zeguang, who was talking to Xia Hou next to him, and saw that he still had a smile on his face and didn't seem to hear him. He felt relieved a little.
Then he grabbed Han Xin'er and dragged her away.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Chen Mu glared at Han Xiner and asked accusingly.
As for Han Xiner, she still looked calm: "My sister likes Brother Mu very much. She has said more than once that she wants to marry you."
Chen Mu shook his head: "I already have a loved one in my family."
Han Xiner was particularly puzzled and asked: "Isn't it normal for a person like Brother Mu to have an extra wife?"
"That's because people in this world have a distorted understanding of feelings. In my eyes, a person can only love one person in his life. Furthermore, do you know that Qi Zeguang... loves your sister?"
Han Xiner said calmly: "But my sister doesn't like him."
Chen Mu waved his hand again: "Stop talking about it. Whether it's because of Liu Si or Qi Zeguang, I will never look at your sister again. It can be anything, but don't talk about it anymore.
"
After saying that, Chen Mu left the place.
Han Xiner looked at Chen Mu's back, a trace of doubt that he had never seen before flashed in his eyes.
He seems to be detached from this world, but it is precisely because of this detachment that he cannot understand this world.
Han Xin'er feels that everything is mechanized and fixed.
He believes that his sister is more beautiful and has a better figure than Brother Mu's current wife. For Brother Mu, it can bring more joy and pleasure. If there is a better thing, why not replace it with something worse?
When the Tatar army retreated three miles away again, Chen Mu asked a dozen people to go down the mountain to clean up the battlefield.
There was not a grain of food on the mountain, and the rations that thousands of people needed to consume every day were huge, so Chen Mu could only target the horse carcasses at the bottom of the mountain.
But unfortunately, today it was all Tatar infantry charging up the mountain.
As a last resort, Chen Mu had to let everyone be beasts for once. Now he was on the battlefield. As long as he could survive and win the battle, Chen Mu didn't think there was any problem in cooking these barbarians.
.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the clothes brought from Yizhou are no longer suitable for the season. The same goes for all the Shu troops. At night, the howling north wind keeps blowing, and many soldiers are already suffering from the cold.
Therefore, in addition to asking everyone to carry the corpses of the barbarians up the mountain, there is another important task, which is to pick up more clothes and bring them up.
Standing at the edge of the stone ruins, Chen Mu discovered that in addition to a dozen soldiers working continuously below, the little red-haired thing was also running down the mountain.
He thought the little thing was here to help, but soon, Chen Mu saw the little thing lying on a corpse of a barbarian and began to bite it.
It turns out that this little thing is hungry.
But then, Chen Mu gradually turned into a look of shock, while Qi Zeguang and Xia Hou also looked on blankly.
"This... this little thing... is really edible, right?"
After listening to what Qi Zeguang said, the other two people also deeply agreed.
It can be said that not only did he eat an extremely large amount of food, he was also very fast. In less than a cup of tea, three corpses were turned into human bones.
The digestion speed is also extremely fast. When it is almost reached, it is swallowed, and the food comes one after another in the back of the butt.
At that time, not only Chen Musan, but also thousands of people on the mountain were shocked when they saw this strange scene.
After digesting the corpses of ten barbarians in a row, the little thing returned to the mountain with satisfaction.
Even though he likes to eat people, when he is in front of Chen Mu, he is extremely affectionate. He has never hurt any of his own people from beginning to end. This is human nature, which makes Chen Mu feel relieved a lot.
"I... I said Lao Chen, have you... noticed that he has grown up a bit?"
Chen Mu did not answer Qi Zeguang. He looked at the fat thing that had expanded its waistline two or three times and reached Chen Mu's shoulders. It had grown more than a little.
Damn it, even if the pig feed is mixed with chemical fertilizer and urea, it won't be so fast, right?
It can be seen that this time, it didn't take half an hour, and the growth rate of this thing is really amazing.
Maybe he was too full. After climbing up, he slowly came to Qi Zeguang's side. After wiping away the blood on his fleshy palms and mouth, he yawned and lay down on the ground to sleep.
As for Qi Zeguang, looking at the disgusting blood stains all over his body, the corners of his eyes twitched crazily: "What the hell..."
Before he finished scolding him, the red-haired spirit beast crawling on the ground just glanced at him, and then growled, as if to say: What did you just say? You have the guts to finish.
With just such a look, Qi Zeguang trembled all over, laughed bitterly, and immediately changed the subject.
"Hey, I didn't scold you, I scolded Xiahou."
Xia Hou: "...?"
In the next few days, the Tatar army in the pass would attack Shixu every day, but without exception, they were blocked again and again by thousands of Shu troops.
After that, it can be clearly felt that the morale of the Tatar army has dropped to an extreme.
Even though there are still tens of thousands of people, they just can't defeat Chen Mu's few thousand people.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days have passed, and today is the day of frost.
During these days in the army, Chen Mu had developed the habit of getting up early.
The sky was getting slightly brighter, so Chen Mu came out of the grotto. The terrain on the Shuofang side was flat and there were few high mountains. It was not as good as the Yizhou side, where there were high mountains and ridges to block the cold air from the north.
As soon as I came out of the cave, I was hit by a biting cold wind that made my heart tremble. Now that I had worn several pieces of barbarian clothes, I felt so cold. I thought the Tatar troops in the pass would be even more annoyed.
Chen Mu touched the morning frost on the edge of the stone, then murmured to himself: "Winter is coming, it's almost over."
Seeing Xiahou and others gathered around the fire, grilling barbarian meat, he walked over.
Without waiting to speak, Qi Zeguang looked at himself and laughed strangely, then handed over a roasted piece of meat that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside.
Look at the color and shape...hiss...that's all...
"Lao Chen, let's eat chicken."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mu's face turned pale, and he immediately kicked Qi Zeguang.
Then he cursed angrily: "Damn you, are you disgusting?"
Qi Zeguang pretended to be a noob and said, "What are you talking about? This is a pheasant that I brought from the mountains in the morning. This is a chicken neck. I asked you if you want to eat chicken neck. Why do you feel sick?"
Chen Mu's face froze and he looked around, only to find chicken feathers scattered on the ground next to him.
"Oh...oh...the chicken neck, no wonder it's so thin...don't talk about chickens, you kid, be careful what you say in the future."
