After winning the battle, the food tonight is richer than usual. After dinner, we clean up the kitchen.

Li Xiaoyu and Xiao Wang prepared to go back and rest.

Just as they were about to reach the barracks, a man speaking the Shu dialect called out to them from behind.

"The two guys in front, please wait a moment."

There was a laugh in the man's voice, which sounded familiar to Li Xiaoyu. She yawned, looked at Xiao Wang, and then turned around.

When she turned around, she opened her mouth in surprise.

When the visitor saw her, his eyes widened.

"Xiao..." Before the other party could speak, Li Xiaoyu rushed over and covered his mouth.

As a family member, even after not seeing him for several years, Li Guangchang could recognize his third sister at a glance. He did not struggle, but just whimpered a few times.

Xiaoyu nodded, stepped on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "I will let you go, but you can't call my name, do you hear me?"

"Woo woo," Li Guangchang nodded his head like a rattle.

As soon as he released his mouth, he hurriedly asked, "Why are you here?" He stared at Xiao Wang warily: "Who is this man?"

Some things are difficult to say near the barracks.

Xiao Wang looked around and said in a voice that they could hear, "I know a place that's more convenient."

As he said that, he took Li Xiaoyu and Li Guangchang to Lao Lu's tent.

Lao Lu lived alone, so Li Xiaoyu and his companions pretended to take some steamed buns, saying they were going to bring him food. At this time, Lao Lu was in the main camp discussing the next battle with Gu Fei.

When he heard the report from his men, he observed Gu Fei's expression calmly, and then asked his men to let the three of them into the tent.

As soon as they entered, Li Guangchang circled around Li Xiaoyu.

He was much more mature than before, and spoke more calmly: "Xiao...Xiao Chang."

I'm really not used to this name.

"Why are you here?"

As soon as he finished asking, Li Xiaoyu found a random place to sit and asked him seriously: "I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?"

While the two of them were talking, Xiao Wang was guarding the door.

Li Guangchang looked at Xiao Wang curiously, then sat down next to her.

He smiled and said, "When we heard that some bad guys wanted to occupy our Shu land, many people spontaneously organized to join the army. I followed them, but the general's team didn't want us."

"Why?" Hearing his stomach growling, Li Xiaoyu took a steamed bun from the bowl and gave it to him.

Li Guangchang took the steamed bun and ate it while replying: "They said we were untrained and would just be killed if we went to the battlefield, so they told us to go back."

"We are all men of blood. If they don't want us, we will deal with them ourselves."

Seeing that he was a little choked, the helpless woman poured him another glass of water.

After swallowing the water, Li Guangchang burped and said embarrassedly: "In the end... we didn't kill many people, and we were beaten to a pulp."

"Eat slowly, no one will compete with you."

"Hmm", Li Guangchang was very happy to see his sister, and he took a few more bites of the steamed bun.

Then he continued, "While we were being chased, we met the general's troops. They saw how miserable we were and took us in."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu asked thoughtfully: "You haven't seen what the general looks like?"

Not understanding why the third sister asked this, Li Guangchang replied puzzledly: "No, we ordinary soldiers usually don't see him. It was one of his generals who took us in. It is said that he informed the general and he took us in only after the general agreed."

"That's it."

Li Xiaoyu lowered his eyes and asked, "So what are you doing in the military camp now?"

After eating a steamed bun, Li Guangchang was still very hungry, so she simply stuffed the whole bowl into his hands. Li Guangchang looked at the tent over here.

He asked hesitantly, "When Vice General Lu comes back and sees that the food is gone, will he blame us?"

Hearing his words, Li Xiaoyu felt a little relieved.

He seems...really mature.

Smiling, he said, "No, just eat in peace."

Li Guangchang trusts Xiaoyu. If she says there is no problem, then there must be no problem.

He finished the remaining steamed buns and drank half a pot of water.

Then he answered the question his sister asked. He said, "I am in logistics now. After they finish fighting at the front line, we are responsible for cleaning up the battlefield."

"Logistics is like an ant. This time they follow one team, and next time they follow another team."

Li Xiaoyu raised her eyebrows. Although she didn't understand, she could understand it to some extent.

The art of war is to deceive. It is impossible for only one team to go to the battlefield. There will always be one team deployed here and one team deployed there.

"After I came back from cleaning today, I was too tired to move, so I asked a companion to help me bring the food back. The kid was also very hungry, and he couldn't help himself on the way and ate both portions at once."

Li Guangchang was extremely angry.

"I could only get up and go to the kitchen to find food, but I didn't expect your door was closed. I could only go to the fireman's tent to look for someone, but I didn't expect to run into you."

After listening, Li Xiaoyu also understood.

She understood, but Li Guangchang still didn't understand. He hurriedly asked, "You haven't told me yet, why are you here?"

When a bonfire is lit at night, the fire will cast shadows around the tent.

Li Xiaoyu looked around and saw that no one was passing by. She whispered to her eldest brother, "I'm here to take care of something. I may leave in a while. When do you plan to go home?"

Hearing that she didn't want to say too much, Li Guangchang thought, there must be a reason why his sister didn't say she wanted to.

When she wants to say something, she will say it.

Thinking of this, he stopped being so stubborn and answered honestly, "Every time the army takes back a place, people from the same place go back home. Our hometown has not been occupied by the rebels. I think if it is close to my hometown, I will go back."

"When will you come back? Everyone at home misses you."

In the two years since my third sister left, some changes have taken place in the family, although my father still cares a lot about his reputation.

But a lot has changed. I didn’t even know how to use an abacus before, but now I’m very good at it, but I’m not very good at doing business.

Hearing what he said, Li Xiaoyu smiled speechlessly.

"He's not doing business well, and you're out to do justice, who's going to manage the restaurant?"

Li Guangchang said proudly: "My wife is very good at saving costs. My mother comes to help occasionally, and the accountant helps us. Although it is noisy, it is much better than the previous life."

When he heard the word "accountant", Li Xiaoyu felt a strange feeling for some reason.

She suppressed the strangeness in her heart and looked her elder brother up and down.

I frowned, I was so curious that I couldn't help but ask, "But why do you want to join the army?"

Before, she would never put the two together.

Li Guangchang chuckled again, his smile was somewhat silly, yet also somewhat pure.

He scratched his head shyly and said seriously, "Mom found what she wanted to do, my wife also found what she wanted to do, and even Dad seemed to have found it, but I have always been confused."

"The moment I heard the news that the rebels had entered Shu, a voice rushed into my head."

“It told me I had to go, and then I came.”

Li Guangchang said the last sentence very easily and with a smile on his face.

Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and asked him: "War is not a joke. If something happens, aren't you afraid?"
