A Farm Girl: Three Acres of Fertile Land Can Be Exchanged for a Country

Chapter 51 Procurement List

Not long after, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the kitchen, tantalizing the soldiers' appetites.

Abdo asked, "Are you hungry?"

Wutong shook her head, wanting to continue practicing, but her stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

She clutched her stomach in embarrassment. Abdo put away the knife and said, "Let's continue this afternoon."

He seemed to have become much quieter, no longer as carefree and lively as before. This made Wutong constantly nervous, wondering if he would suddenly change his mind and leave her.

As the two walked forward, a soldier would occasionally pass by and greet them respectfully.

Abdo suddenly asked, "Where's that boy who's been with you? He did a good job yesterday, so remember to come and collect your reward."

Wutong quickly thanked him, and after thanking him, she looked at his face and couldn't help but ask, "General, what do you think of my sword practice?"

During practice, you should use a wooden sword, which feels just like a real sword and won't hurt you.

However, the wooden swords she used for practice were all in the army stationed outside the city, so she had to use firewood. No matter how she practiced, it just didn't feel right, and she desperately needed confidence.

Abdo casually replied, "It's alright."

After all, she was physically weak and would be at a disadvantage using a knife, and it was clear that she wasn't really suited to such a cumbersome weapon.

Wutong lowered her head in disappointment: "Ah, just average..."

Abuduo raised his hand and flicked her forehead: "What's wrong with being normal? Do you think you're a genius? Kid, don't be so confident."

Wutong rubbed her head and grinned at him.

Abudo looked at her again and again, and finally couldn't help himself. He grabbed her neck with his hand and roughly rubbed her head, making her short hair a mess, like a bird's nest.

Wutong really liked this feeling, as if they had returned to the way they used to be.

Walking into the front yard, we saw that several large tables had been set up, laden with fine meat and wine.

Abdo asked, "Is that all? What about the army?"

The soldier in charge of the general's mansion's meals said, "How could that be? The food from the army has already been delivered, and they're probably eating it by now."

Abudo nodded, scooped up the wine jar on the table with one hand, and with the other, chopped it off, sending the seal flying. He tilted his head back and took several gulps, then exclaimed with satisfaction, "Ha! Good wine!"

The soldier said, "This was brought by Lieutenant Li from outside. It just so happens that we're having meat today, so he let us take it and drink it."

Upon hearing this name, Wutong paused for a moment, then realized, "Commander Li is back?"

The soldier replied, "Yes."

Abdo asked, "Where are the others?"

"He brought back a lot of things and led people to the storeroom."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lieutenant Li walked in from outside the gate, followed by a group of soldiers carrying some boxes in their hands.

"General!"

Upon seeing Abdo, Lieutenant Li's usually composed expression turned agitated. He quickly took a few steps forward and knelt before him, saying, "It is my fault for being late! Please forgive me, General!"

He was out shopping, and just after he finished and left the city, he heard about the attack on Dagua Town.

However, since everything had already been purchased, it was impossible to abandon them and run away. Carrying so many supplies would also slow down the journey, so we rushed and only arrived today.

Abdo waved his hand: "I'm not dead, there's no need to mourn. Get up, get up."

Lieutenant Li stood up and asked, "I wonder how things are in the town?"

Abdo said, "We only lost a few things, I'll be fine after a few days of rest. We're so grateful to her this time..."

He poked Wutong's forehead with his finger and said, "She is our savior."

Wutong dodged away, rubbing her head and smiling sheepishly: "I was just lucky."

Lieutenant Li glanced at the two men, and with the information he had heard on the road, he formed a rough outline in his mind. He then stopped asking questions and took out a stack of papers from his pocket, saying, "This is the list of military supplies to be procured this time. Please take a look, General."

"What's the point of looking at it? You know I can't read. You can keep it for yourself."

Abdo, finding it troublesome, didn't even bother to accept the invitation, and boldly sat down in the main seat, inviting everyone to drink and eat meat.

Li Duwei and Wutong exchanged a glance, smiled, and then Li Duwei sat down next to Abuduo.

Wutong was about to sit down, but then she remembered Nanxing and worried that he might be alone in his room and not know to come out for dinner, so she decided to go back and find him.

But as soon as he turned around, he saw Nanxing sitting alone at a table in the corner, his face gloomy, as if he was very unhappy.

She sat down next to him, put a piece of meat on his plate, and said, "Aren't you happy to have meat to eat?"

Thousands of miles to the south, the disaster victims don't even have enough to eat.

Ever since Wutong went hungry for a few days, she has had a great appetite and is no longer picky about food. She can eat two bowls of white rice with just a piece of pickled vegetable.

Nanxing was a beggar who had endured hunger longer than her, so he should have been more interested in food, but he was always absent-minded when eating.

This time was the same; even after the meat was placed in his bowl, he only raised his eyelids slightly.

Wutong asked, "Is it because of what happened yesterday that you can't eat? I'll go to the kitchen and get you some pickled vegetables."

After seeing so much gory and gruesome stuff, it's understandable that you might feel nauseous at the thought of meat; that's only natural.

However, as soon as she stood up, someone tugged at the hem of her dress.

Nanxing said, "Don't go, sit down."

Wutong sat down and tapped his head with her chopsticks: "You brat, how dare you order me around."

Nanxing showed no reaction to her punishment, as if she were hitting someone else on the head, her dark eyes fixed on her.

Wutong felt uneasy under his gaze: "What are you doing?"

Nanxing remained silent, then suddenly rushed into the kitchen, grabbed a rag, and ran out to wipe Wutong's head.

Wutong screamed in fright and was tackled to the ground, whereupon she forcefully protected her head.

"Nanxing, what's wrong with you?!"

"I'll wipe your face!"

"Get out! I don't want to wipe my face with a rag!"

All the soldiers looked over, and Abdo burst into laughter, almost clapping and cheering.

The two started arguing, with Nanxing holding onto Wutong like a leopard, refusing to let go no matter what.

Finally, Wutong had no choice but to give in and hand over her head. Nanxing wiped her forehead with a rag again and again until it was shiny with oil before he stopped.

Wutong ate lunch with her greasy forehead and was laughed at so much that she wanted to crawl into a hole. Nanxing, on the other hand, had a hearty appetite, eating meat and rice at the same time, and occasionally giving her a satisfied look.

After the meal, Abdo went to inspect the Moon Gate Pass as usual, while Lieutenant Li checked the inventory and arranged the distribution of winter supplies.

With nothing else to do, Wutong dragged Nanxing and the city defense soldiers who had been assigned to her command yesterday to the streets to clean up the mess.

Those people from Dongqi all came on horseback, their only purpose being to rob, and they showed no mercy in their attacks.

The shops and stalls on the street, as well as some townspeople's houses, were destroyed by them, and reconstruction has begun today.

Wutong and Nanxing each carried a bucket to the well to fetch water, and then washed the dried bloodstains off the ground when they returned to the street.
