Demon Lord 3

Chapter 1652: Starving and Cold

The two of us looked at each other and knew that we would have to conduct a thorough investigation after returning. Wen Qihua said bluntly: "You are in a place where war breaks out. There is not much food here. You only have that bag of flour, and you gave me half a bag to make noodles. Do you think this can happen again? I asked you to come here to think about defeating the enemy, not to please the superiors. The war is not over yet, how dare I eat these things?" After listening to what he said, Xiao Li nodded and said that he was wrong, and then he boiled the remaining half bag of flour and gave it to the wounded. Wen Qihua thought that what he did was flattery, so he didn't say anything else and nodded. , said he wanted to go to the front line to take a look, but Xiao Li stopped him and said that the enemy was about to attack, don't go to the front line, it will be dangerous. Wen Qihua was very angry this time and said: "I am your superior, but I was not born to be a superior. I have also experienced many wars, and I have also crawled out of the pile of dead bodies. Is this how you look at me? Where is not dangerous? Even if I have been in the rear, do you think those places are not dangerous?" Xiao Li was speechless, but he did not relax. He had been trying his best to stop him from going to the front line. I know Xiao Li is doing this for his own good, but doing so will only deepen the conflicts and misunderstandings between the two. After hearing this, I couldn't stand it anymore and hurried forward to help defend Xiao Li, saying that Xiao Li had no ill intentions at all. He just wanted to make a hot meal for the leader because he saw that it was not easy for the leader to come from afar. He didn't mean anything. I explained for Wen Qihua again, saying that he didn't mean anything else. He just thought that this kind of situation should never happen again. After all, the soldiers under him are the ones who really have to charge into the battle. How can they not have enough food? We can't have extra white flour not given to the soldiers, but reserved for the leaders. This situation must be thoroughly investigated in the future. In fact, when I said these words, I didn't specifically say them to Xiao Li. After all, Xiao Li didn't have the ability to investigate thoroughly. We are the key to thoroughly investigating this matter. Xiao Li nodded repeatedly after hearing this and said that he was wrong. No leaders had come before. This time, there was plenty of white flour. It happened that the leaders came and it was not easy for them to come from afar, so he hurried to make a hot meal without thinking too much. Wen Qihua went to the kitchen and saw that the wild vegetables in the kitchen were also empty. He didn't ask Xiao Li why he didn't ask someone to dig them up? Xiao Li said they'd come back a little while every day, but now it was almost noon, supposed to be lunchtime, so why hadn't they returned yet? Wen Qihua was a little angry and wanted to go back and tell the people in the main force why they weren't giving these field troops some food. Was it because it was difficult to deliver food in the mountains? But the two of us drove up here so brazenly. If it was really difficult, shouldn't it be difficult for everyone? Why couldn't they get in, while we could easily get in? The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He told Xiao Li to stop trying and go to the front lines right away. Once there, he saw the soldiers charging forward, and he gritted his teeth watching. After all, the weather was getting colder, and the soldiers were starving. Every time he approached, he saw the soldiers moving very slowly, but the people behind him told them to hurry up. How could they be so fast? By the afternoon, the charge was finally over, and the enemy retreated. Our soldiers also gradually returned. But at night, we discovered that, except for the wounded, who had official accommodations, the others had to sleep outside on straw mats. What was going on? Sleeping outside in the dead of winter—how could they possibly freeze? Xiao Li didn't dare tell Wen Qihua about this. Instead, he looked at me helplessly and complained, "Sister Yue, to be honest, I didn't dare tell the commander just now. People die here every day. Not from charging into battle, but from freezing to death in the barracks. There's no place to sleep. They have to sleep in a shed outside with straw mats, which are completely incompatible with the cold." I asked him how he was doing that night, and he said he was on duty. After that, I walked with him. Halfway through the walk, he was shivering with cold and wanted to go back to get me some clothes. I immediately took out a pill and asked him to take it. He asked what it was, and I said it would warm him up.
