At the beginning, I saved a little mute

The next morning, Chunyu felt that the atmosphere at home was weird.

When I prepared breakfast and called Jiang Zao to eat, I could see that she was obviously in low spirits.

And Que Yunsheng in the other room was even more silent.

Mo Bai and Mo Shan looked at each other. The child was still young and although he couldn't understand, he could feel the tense atmosphere.

Huai Feng and Huai Jian felt it was even more strange. They were fine yesterday, but they started quarreling after not seeing each other for just one night.

One eats without any taste, the other eats in silence.

All five people wanted to know what happened from each other's eyes, but unfortunately no information was revealed.

After finishing his meal, Que Yunsheng went into the house to pack his things.

Jiang Zao sat silently for a while. He really couldn't eat, so he called Chun Yu and Mo Bai Mo Shan to go out and buy some.

Que Yunsheng didn't have much stuff, so he packed it up in no time.

He stepped out of the door and saw Huai Feng and Huai Jian, "Where's Miss Jiang?"

"I'm going out."

"What did she do?"

"do not know."

Que Yunsheng really wanted to leave now, but he was unwilling to do so because he wanted to see Jiang Zao again.

Otherwise, if I go to the Hexi camp, I don’t know when I can come to see Jiang Zao.

Jiang Zao not only bought a few sets of clothes and daily necessities, but also exchanged some small change and copper coins.

So that it can be used more easily.

Even though they parted on bad terms last night, she still couldn't bear to ignore Que Yunsheng.

Que Yunsheng waited for a long time before he saw Jiang Zao coming back, followed by three people holding things.

"where have you been?"

"Buy something."

Jiang Zao showed them to him one by one, "You can use all of these. I'll try to buy enough for a month, and I'll come back next month to buy more."

Jiang had already inquired about it, and found out that ordinary soldiers in the barracks basically had three days of vacation a month.

Que Yunsheng looked at those things and nodded awkwardly, "Thank you."

"Be careful when you go to the military camp. Don't get into conflicts with others. Your life is precious." Jiang Zao said finally.

Together with Huaifeng and Huaijian, they sent Que Yunsheng to the gate of the county town and watched his figure disappear in the distance.

Jiang Zao couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

She stood there for a long time, until Que Yunsheng's figure could no longer be seen, and she did not move at all.

Suddenly there was a cloak on my shoulders.

It was bought by Que Yunsheng a few days ago. What did he say at that time?

"The weather is cold, and this dress is not expensive. Wear it first and buy a better one later."

Jiang took it early.

Chunyu's voice sounded, "Miss, it's windy outside, you'd better go back early."

Jiang Zao nodded and touched the edge of the cloak. The fabric was ordinary and even a little scratchy.

She got into the carriage, feeling very melancholy.

This was the first time she and Que Yunsheng were separated.

Since she came to this era, Que Yunsheng has always been by her side, and she has become accustomed to his presence.

She was used to discussing things with someone else, and now that she was left alone, she couldn't help feeling empty inside and was very uncomfortable.

I ate a few bites of lunch and went to bed.

Thinking about the quarrel with him last night, I couldn't help but feel a little guilty. I really shouldn't have quarreled with him.

The person she was thinking about had traveled for four hours and finally arrived at the Hexi camp at dusk.

He handed in a letter of recommendation and, without being introduced by anyone, he received an order to be directly assigned to join a team.

The things held are strictly inspected.

Que Yunsheng took the initiative to give most of the food and clothes to the soldiers who were inspecting, and left with the few remaining things.

One of the two soldiers behind him poked the other's arm and said, "Why don't you take all of them? I saw a bottle of pickled vegetables underneath. It smells delicious when you open the lid."

Another soldier proudly picked up the cooked bacon in his hand and said, "See? There's so much, enough for the two of us to share. Why bother with the pickled vegetables? Besides, he brought so many things, and each one is very fine. He must be from a wealthy family. He came to the Hexi camp at this time. Maybe there is someone behind him. He just came here to get military merit. We are doing routine inspections. No one will say anything if we can get some benefits. There is no need to take everything. If he complains to the higher-ups, we will be in trouble."

Que Yunsheng was assigned to the mobile battalion and was under the command of Chief Cui Qian, who was the person who recommended him.

It’s just that General Cui Qian didn’t meet him.

Que Yunsheng guessed that Xie Chengjing certainly did not specifically mention taking care of him, but just gave him a way to enter the Hexi camp.

This is better, Que Yunsheng breathed a sigh of relief.

When he arrived at his own camp, Que Yunsheng stood outside and listened for a while. There was no sound from inside the tent. At this time, most people were probably asleep.

He entered the tent quietly and found that no one was sleeping in the tent.

Four auras appeared in the dim light.

The four men sat on a mat on the floor, each with a look of despair on their face.

Seeing someone coming in through the curtain, one of them jumped up and asked in a childish voice, "Who?"

The other three moved but did not stand up.

Que Yunsheng smelled blood in the air.

Could it be that they had just gone through a great battle?

However, the soldier in charge of the inspection did not mention anything about it at all.

He remained calm and bowed, "Hello everyone, I am Que Yunsheng who just reported in today."

There was a moment of silence in the air before a voice sneered, "Come to our military camp? Are you sane?"

"What's wrong? You can't come here?" Que Yunsheng kept his tone unchanged and just raised his question.

The sneering man stopped talking.

Instead, it was the young soldier who came forward and said, "Hello, Brother Que. My name is Chen Xiaoliu, and I'm the sergeant here."

The person in front of him was very young. Que Yunsheng himself was only twelve years old, but after experiencing a series of events, the seventeen-year-old Chen Xiaoliu seemed young to him.

"The bearded man on the left is Chen Sanjia, the one on the right is Chen Genshun, and the one who just spoke to you is Chen Erding. We are all from Beiyuan Village. How old are you, little brother?"

Que Yunsheng said in a deep voice, "It's twelve."

When these words came out, several people were stunned and said in unison, "Only twelve? Why did you come to join the army?"

At that time, the conscription age was 15 years old. How could most people be willing to let them go?

Que Yunsheng opened the package, took out the remaining food and ate it very casually.

"My parents are dead, and I have to support the family."

Everyone couldn't help but sigh that he had a bad fate.

Smelling the aroma of food floating in the air, the four of them swallowed their saliva at the same time.

It smells so good.

Compared with the big pot meals in the military camp, it smelled different. Besides, they were not full at all. No one had more than brown rice porridge to fill their stomachs at night.

"My family prepared some food for me, brothers, please have a try."

Everyone swallowed, but no one took action.

"Keep it for yourself as it's prepared by your family. There are many days ahead of you. If you're hungry, save it to fill your stomach. We won't be hungry." Chen Erding, who had spoken in a cold tone first, turned his head away, but his stomach betrayed his thoughts.

It wasn't just him whose stomach was growling; the other three had their stomachs growling as well.

Que Yunsheng opened the lid of the pickled vegetables and took out five large pancakes.

"Eat it. I'll get you some next time I go home."

Having said that, it was difficult for everyone to refuse, especially since they were really hungry.

Chen Xiaoliu pulled open the curtain of the tent a little bit, allowing for better light.

Under the dim moonlight, a few people ate and talked in low voices about the situation here.
