Chapter 564 A Night Scout
"Really? It can' t be so dark, right? It's a national disaster, so we shouldn' t work together ..."
"Don' t be silly. When didn' t there be a fight?" The soldier snorted coldly. He was about to say more when he suddenly heard a crisp sound from the corner of the wall. He immediately stopped talking and rushed over with a long gun in his hand.
In the end, a colorful wild cat rushed past the wall and saw that the sound just now was the wild cat kicking something down.
He cursed in a low voice and turned back. However, because of this interruption, the two of them were no longer in the mood to talk and each of them leaned against the door frame to doze off.
In the distance, two shadows followed the dark wall one by one. When they reached a safe place, Jiao Jiao heaved a long sigh of relief and said in a low voice," uncle hu, it's all my fault. I almost got into trouble. "
"It's all right. You don't come out often. That's good enough. Let's take a rest first. After dawn, go to the restaurant and teahouse to hear more. "
Hu tianming comforted Jiao Jiao for a while, but Jiao Jiao didn' t struggle. The two of them ate some snacks and drank some water. They hid behind the back door of a wealthy family to avoid the wind. They wrapped themselves in blankets and barely dozed off.
It was as if someone had just slept for a short while and had already picked a load to sell all over the street, waking Jiao Jiao up.
"Big gold cake, white jade bean flowers! Five dollars a share, not enough money ah! "
Jiao Jiao opened her eyes and saw that hu tianming was already guarding the side. She was wrapped in two blankets, so she quickly put the blanket away and smiled shyly.
Initially, she thought that her kung fu was not bad, so she came over to inquire about the news. Even if she could not help, she would not delay her efforts. Now it seemed that she had caused trouble for uncle hu.
However, she wasn' t narrow-minded. Since she was here, she tried to do her job well, so she said with a smile," uncle hu, thank you for keeping vigil. I' ll treat you to cake and drink tofu flowers. "
Hu tianming also smiled, and his expression didn' t look tired. He replied," okay, I' m afraid it will take two to eat. "
"Well, I'll have two, too! "
The two of them walked to the street. The girl who sold the bean flowers had already put down the burden. A few wooden boards formed a simple table. Each of the diners had a bowl of bean flowers. They held a big cake in their hands, took a bite of the cake, and drank a mouthful of bean flowers. No one felt embarrassed. It was obvious that they were used to it.
Jiao Jiao and hu tianming were strangers, so everyone couldn' t help but wonder. After all, this was the garrison city, and now there was a war, so the people should be vigilant.
Hu tianming drank the bean flowers and asked an old man beside him vaguely," uncle, do you know the news outside the city? Did our soldiers win the battle? My brother is outside, the mother at home is very worried about, I and my little brother rushed to ask the news, but also can not get out. "
When they heard that they were soldiers, they all looked much better and asked," which battalion is your brother from?" "
"Vanguard camp. "
Hu tianming replied, but everyone sighed." Big brother, I' m afraid the news isn' t good. The vanguard camp was at the forefront of the battle. The damage must have been huge. "
Jiao Jiao immediately put down the big cake in his hand and said anxiously," what should I do? My mother is still sick. She knows that my second brother ... Sob, sob, sob." "
The twelve or thirteen year old young girl had not yet grown up, so she was already somewhat androgynous. When everyone saw Jiao Jiao's red lips and white teeth, their eyes were watery with tears, and they felt even more sympathetic.
Someone lowered his voice and said," don't cry, little brother. It's impossible to fight and hurt people. Hanshan pass is broken, we are the first people to die. You should go back ... Let the family get ready. I heard that the vanguard battalion was brought by the eighth prince. The eighth prince, you know, was born by noble consort yao. Previously, noble consort yao couldn' t poison the emperor and the yao family was exiled by the plagiarist family. So ... Well, your brother needs his own luck anyway. "
Without waiting for hu tianming and Jiao Jiao to speak, someone refuted," you can' t say that either. My elder brother is a little manager in the logistics camp. I heard that the eighth prince is very powerful and has fought many battles and killed countless barbarians. It's only been a short time since he was promoted from the school captain to the general. He treated his soldiers very well. The logistics battalion was mostly death row, so he was a bit lazy. He directly brought his men over to fight. Now, no one dared to send them a grain of grain of grain. They heard that his soldiers were injured and disabled, so he was responsible for supporting them and would not let them suffer for the rest of their lives. "
"Really? Wasn' t this eighth prince hated by the emperor? "
"What you' re saying is wrong. There's no such thing as a father who really despises his son. No matter how powerful the emperor was, he was still a father. Perhaps he was still happy because his son was going to fight. "
"That's true. My little son is a mischievous brat, and I have been scolding him all day, but I couldn' t help but put an extra piece into his hands after I bought some snacks. "
The topic of discussion quickly shifted from the war to the topic of family leaders. When they were full and left, they realized that the two brothers had disappeared without a trace.
Everyone did not take it to heart. After all, those who were able to have breakfast on the street were probably not wealthy people, and they were busy supporting their families. Naturally, they did not care about others. It was good enough to say a few more words just now.
Jiao Jiao and hu tianming spent the whole morning walking around the entrance of the mountain. They met two soldiers patrolling, so they avoided them. In the end, they went to a restaurant near the street to settle their lunch.
Most of the food in the northern region was delicious and affordable, so it was really not exquisite, let alone the grassland and the greater vietnam, which were divided into two main dishes: beef and mutton.
Jiao Jiao ordered half of the whole lamb and thought he couldn't finish it, so he packed it up and went back to try some fresh food for his greedy brothers.
Hu tianming ordered a lamb soup with a little vinegar and cilantro. It was delicious.
Just as the two of them were eating, the street suddenly became chaotic.
It turned out that the door of the entrance to the mountain was opened. There were carriages and many wounded soldiers coming in. There were more than 100 of them. No arms, no legs, even blind, wrapped like mummies.
Someone at the table beside him sighed. With such a serious injury, she would not be able to survive. In the future, she would not be able to earn a living and grow land. "
The other person carefully identified the flag on the carriage but shook his head." Don' t worry, these wounded soldiers won' t be left undone. Look at that flag. It's from the forward battalion. "
Hearing this, the person who had spoken earlier immediately leaned against the window and carefully identified it.in the end, he nodded his head and sounded much more relaxed.
"I' m telling you, with such a serious injury and being sent back to recuperate, only the lucky ones in the vanguard camp would be able to kill them." "
