MTL - Hot Farmer’s Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm-Chapter 335 335 Fulai Inn
Chapter 335 335 Fulai Inn
The master is still alive and married.
If the Great General King was still here, I would be very happy.
"Get up quickly." Lin Xiaoyue said.
"Thank you, Mistress!" Cheng An just got up.
"What's the situation in the army now?" Li Xiao quickly asked Cheng An.
Cheng An's complexion quickly became difficult.
After a while, he bowed and saluted Li Xiao.
"very bad."
"Recently, there have been frequent blizzards at the border, and there are not enough cotton-padded coats for the lieutenants and soldiers. Vice-General Wang ordered reluctantly to collect the cotton-padded coats of the soldiers and distribute them uniformly."
"Now, almost 10% of the brothers stay in the tent every day because they can't go out because they don't have cotton coats."
Li Xiao frowned.
"Furthermore, according to the news from yesterday, there are less than fifty warhorses left in the army..."
Having said this, Cheng An carefully raised his head and glanced at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao frowned a little more tightly.
"How about the casualties?" asked again.
Cheng An's face was bitter.
"A few...nearly 70% of the brothers suffered from frostbite to varying degrees. Yes—" By this point, Cheng An's voice was choked.
Li Xiao frowned.
Cheng An quickly restrained his emotions and continued: "Yes, eight brothers, they were seriously injured and did not survive, so let's go."
In an instant, the room was quiet.
"In addition, as of last night, a total of 42 people had their legs or hands amputated by military doctors due to frostbite."
Li Xiao felt another dull pain in his heart.
Lin Xiaoyue also frowned.
Their previous plan did not specifically consider the wounded.
Especially for these seriously injured wounded, it is not an easy task to bring them back to Qingshi Town.
looked sideways to see Li Xiao's eyes turning red, and was struggling to suppress his emotions.
Lin Xiaoyue reached out and patted the back of his hand.
Li Xiao's mood was calmer now.
"We came here this time and prepared some wound medicine. It should relieve the pressure on the military doctor." Lin Xiaoyue said.
Cheng An immediately smiled, "It's so good! Mr. Xu has been looking for healing medicine with us, but Hanshan Town is small, so it's hard to get medicinal materials..."
Mainly they dare not expose. At the same time, there is indeed not enough money in hand to purchase a large amount of medicinal materials.
Henry Zhang glanced at Lin Xiaoyue strangely when he heard this.
He came with his cousin and cousin, didn't they bring any medicine?
As far as those two shriveled burdens are concerned, they are supposed to contain medicines, so I'm afraid they won't be able to hold much.
However, he didn't ask any further questions and continued to listen.
"It's hard for you." Lin Xiaoyue comforted her.
After hearing this, Cheng An, an old man who is nearly half a hundred years old, almost burst into tears.
"The mother's words are serious. The old slave and the brothers can wait until the master comes back, everything is worth it!" Cheng An said movingly.
Lin Xiaoyue's heart surged with emotions.
Looking at Li Xiao's resolute profile, his heart became a little hot.
Before, she only regarded the Chiwu Army as a burden, but now, she has a different mood.
These people regarded Li Xiao as their sustenance.
For Li Xiao, although they were not relatives, they were already relatives.
"Director Fang is behind us, arranging the response after the retreat. It may not arrive until two days later. Before that, I will wait for him here." Lin Xiaoyue stroked and said.
"Yes! What is the mother's order, but you can order Cheng An!" Cheng An said quickly.
Knowing that Director Fang is also here, I feel more at ease.
"Yes." Lin Xiaoyue responded.
looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao opened his mouth again.
"Tonight, Henry Zhang and I will sneak back to the Chiwu Army camp."
Cheng An's face tightened, and he looked up at Li Xiao, just about to dissuade him, but was stopped by Li Xiao's hand.
"After I leave, the Fulai Inn will be handed over to Yue'er. You help Yue'er to act." Li Xiaochong Cheng An said.
Cheng An hesitated for a moment.
"Yes!" and took the command.
Since the master trusts the mistress so much and thinks that the mistress is competent, then he also believes it.
Li Xiao nodded.
"Waiting for the return of Chief Fang, your side will arrange it properly, Henry Zhang and I will immediately arrange for the soldiers to evacuate!" Shen said.
"Yes!" This time, not only Cheng An, but Henry Zhang also responded.
Then, Li Xiao asked Cheng An about the situation in the army before letting Cheng An retire.
Next, until night came, Li Xiao did not separate from Lin Xiaoyue again.
It was not until You Shi finished dinner that Li Xiao hugged Lin Xiaoyue, bid farewell to his beloved wife, and went out of the room.
Lin Xiaoyue didn't go to deliver it, only listening to the footsteps of Li Xiao and Henry Zhang in the room, and disappeared on the corridor.
Henry Zhang and Li Xiao left the Fulai Inn, and together with Li Xiao, walked to the Chiwu Army station.
Along the way, Henry Zhang kept looking at Li Xiao.
After walking for a while, I finally couldn't help but ask the doubts in my heart.
"That, cousin—you, why didn't you bring any baggage?" Didn't the cousin say that he prepared medicine for Mr. Xu?
Well, the burden of these two couples has been shriveled, and he still doesn't quite believe that there are any medicines in it.
But now my cousin doesn't even carry a bag... Could it be that my cousin was really lying before?
If you are not ready, you are not ready? Does it make sense to lie about this?
Li Xiao turned back and glanced at Henry Zhang.
Seeing the expression on Henry Zhang’s face, he probably guessed Henry Zhang’s thoughts.
"Put away the guesswork in your head, your cousin did indeed prepare medicine." He said.
The medicinal materials are precious, and Yueer spent a lot of money in order to prepare those wound medicines. It's the kid's turn to be suspicious?
Henry Zhang's eyes were shocked.
"Where is the medicine?!" He quickly asked Li Xiao.
Since the beginning of winter, many brothers have been frostbitten.
In the barracks, apart from lack of food and clothing, the most important thing is medicine.
Before , if Mr. Xu had enough medicine in his hand, many brothers might not lose their hands, feet, or even their lives.
Li Xiao said goodbye to Henry Zhang, thought for a while, then tore off a jade ring on his hand and threw it to Henry Zhang.
Henry Zhang was puzzled, but he still caught the jade ring.
"Why do you give me this?" While chasing after Li Xiao, he asked Li Xiao at the same time.
"Concentrate on this jade ring and feel what's in it." Li Xiao said in a deep voice.
Henry Zhang didn't know why, but he still did as Li Xiao said.
Then——
"This—there are medicines, cotton clothes in it! And food! What's going on?!"
"Cousin, what's the matter with this ring? Cousin!" Henry Zhang quickly caught up with Li Xiao, circling around Li Xiao like a fly. eager and excited.
But Li Xiao was a little bored.
"All the things in it were bought by your cousin with money. Including this jade ring, it was also given to me by your cousin." Li Xiao stretched out his hand to Henry Zhang angrily.
Henry Zhang was holding the jade ring, his eyes full of reluctance.
But he still returned the jade ring to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao took back the ring and put it back on his hand.
"In the future, don't let me see you questioning your cousin again." Glancing at Henry Zhang coldly, Li Xiao dropped the sentence.
Continue to take big strides forward.
Henry Zhang was ashamed for a moment, and then quickly chased after him.
"Cousin, it was me who was wrong! I shouldn't doubt my cousin!"
"Hey, can you show me your ring again?"
"What kind of treasure is this ring? How do you get the contents out?"
"How can cousin sister-in-law have such a treasure? Does she still have it?"
Li Xiao felt a buzzing sound all over his ears.
"Noisy." He said in a deep voice.
Henry Zhang closed his mouth.
But only for a moment, Henry Zhang came up again.
"Cousin, just talk about it. It also saves me from bothering you all the time..." After that, he pulled Li Xiao's arm.
Li Xiao quickly avoided.
Looking at Henry Zhang with a smile on his face, as if shamelessly trying to get up again, he spoke quickly.
"Stand far away." Shen said.
"Hehe, stand far away! You tell me the secret of this ring, and I will stand far away!" said cheekily.
Li Xiao glared at Henry Zhang, turned around and continued walking.
"Follow up." After saying a word, he was relieved.
Henry Zhang looked happy and quickly picked up the pace.
"This thing is called a space ring, and there is a compressed space in it. You can control it with your mind, and you can store and store items in it."
Li Xiao said, a fruit appeared in his hand.
"When taking something, as long as you think about it in your mind, it will appear in your hand."
After Li Xiao finished speaking, he was ready to take the fruit back into the space.
As a result, it was quickly snatched away by Henry Zhang.
"Just a little thirsty, let me taste it!"
said, Henry Zhang didn't wipe it, and put the fruit directly into his mouth.
Li Xiao frowned, but did not stop him.
The pot of fruit in the space ring was specially prepared for his wife.
Anyway, there are still, not bad for this one.
The main fruit has been touched by this little bastard, and he doesn't want to grab it again and give it to his daughter-in-law.
"Wow! It's so sweet!" Henry Zhang took a bite and found that the fruit juice was abundant and the taste was really good.
After one bite, he quickly continued to take a big bite.
He now confirmed that what was in the ring was actually real. When the fruit is taken out, it is exactly the same as the normal fruit.
Li Xiao frowned and glanced at Henry Zhang.
Can it be sweet? He carefully selected it for his daughter-in-law.
"What about storing things? Cousin, how did you store things in them?" After throwing away the core, Henry Zhang asked Li Xiao excitedly.
A pair of eyes stared at the jade ring in Li Xiao's hand, full of envy.
Li Xiao didn't care, and looked at the dagger that Henry Zhang pinned to his waist.
"Give it to me." He said.
Henry Zhang covered his dagger, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Then, he took off the dagger and handed it to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao raised the corner of his mouth, "Storing things is the same as taking things, just touch the item with your hand, and then think about moving the item into the ring, and the item will go in."
said, the delicate dagger disappeared into Li Xiao's hands under Henry Zhang's gaze.
Henry Zhang's eyes widened.
reached out to touch Li Xiao's hand and found that his dagger had really disappeared.
"It's amazing!" He exclaimed at the moment.
"Cousin, take out the dagger and return it to me first." After thinking of something, he said to Li Xiao again.
The name of the dagger was Chixue, but it was his sixteenth birthday gift from his uncle.
Red Blood is extremely sharp, and he has accompanied him to the battlefield in the past two years, helping him kill many enemies.
The corner of Li Xiao's mouth raised an arc, but he patted Henry Zhang's hand directly.
"It's on par with the fruit just now." He said in a good mood.
Henry Zhang's complexion changed, and he quickly chased after Li Xiao.
"Don't - don't, cousin! It's not just one fruit, wait, go back, I'll get you ten, oh no, a hundred will do!"
"Red blood, red blood was given to me by my uncle! You can't rob me!" Having said this, Henry Zhang almost cried.
Seeing Li Xiao, he was in a very good mood.
"Without Scarlet Blood, I...I have no weapon that I can handle. Cousin, you—you can't treat me like this..." I became more and more aggrieved.
Li Xiao glanced at Henry Zhang, "Look at your greatness." He said.
Then, he took out the red blood.
Then, threw it back to Henry Zhang.
"Take it!"
Henry Zhang caught it and hurriedly checked it distressed.
I was sure that there was no problem, so I put the dagger back on my waist.
But he didn't dare to joke with Li Xiao anymore.
"Cousin, I see your space ring, the space inside is not small. When the time comes, can we pack the injured brothers in and take them away." Henry Zhang discussed with Li Xiao.
Cousin, this space ring, let the brothers squeeze, and it will not be a problem to fit 200 people.
If this really works, it will be easy for the wounded brothers to evacuate.
Moreover, you can take them directly back to Dashi Village, which is not too easy.
Li Xiao glanced at Henry Zhang.
"If it is so simple, it is necessary to formulate such a careful retreat plan?"
"Then—" Henry Zhang became apprehensive.
Li Xiao sighed.
"The space ring can only hold dead objects, and the living cannot enter." He said.
If this is not the case, why do you need to work so hard to arrange the evacuation of the soldiers?
As long as he is alone, with a few extra space rings, it is enough to bring all the Chiwu Army back to Qingshi Town.
Henry Zhang was taken aback.
looked at the space ring on Li Xiao's hand again.
"Yes, such a treasure, if it can really hold a living creature, it would be too heaven-defying." He muttered.
Thinking of something, Henry Zhang asked Li Xiao again, "How could the cousin-in-law have such a treasure? Is she—is she an immortal?"
How can mortals have such treasures, and immortal instruments are almost the same?
Cousin-in-law, the more I get to know her, the more I find her unusual.
Not only this space ring, but also the poker they played a few days ago.
The material of the playing cards looked like paper, but it was different from the paper they used for Dayan.
At that time, he was still thinking, what kind of craftsmanship is needed to make paper that is so hard and feels so good.
Also, the words and patterns on the card are exactly the same for each suit, and the pattern on the back is exactly the same.
What kind of craftsman did he have to make such playing cards?
Li Xiao glanced at Henry Zhang.
Seeing Henry Zhang staring at himself nervously, a burst of smiles filled his heart.
Then, holding back his smile, he nodded seriously.
In an instant, Henry Zhang's eyes widened and he looked shocked.
"Don't tell anyone. Otherwise, she will have to go back to the sky if she is discovered." Li Xiao said, and put his index finger to his lips and shush.
Henry Zhang nodded quickly.
also swallowed nervously.
"Okay, I won't say it!" He said quickly.
A look of fear that his cousin will fly away, and he will make his cousin a bachelor.
Li Xiao's eyes flashed a touch of emotion.
Then he patted Henry Zhang’s shoulder with a big hand, looking grateful.
