Chapter 133 Camp

The meal was ready quickly. After the reading is done, the leading soldiers will distribute it together.

In the end, the women were given a bowl of multigrain porridge, and the children were given half a bowl. The men had to carry armaments and were on duty at night, so they had enough multigrain porridge.

Su Qingnao, Su Qingliu and others looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the multigrain porridge in their bowls, but the children were a little unable to eat it.

When Su Qingyu and her party set out, they brought a lot of fine grains and money with them. Along the way, the children ate fine grains. She also brought dried fruits and vegetables, so the children's food was not bad.

Especially for Lu Xiaobao, after Su Qingyu ran out of milk to feed him, Su's mother tried her best to make him delicious food. Occasionally you can catch prey in the mountains, and you can also eat meat porridge and broth.

Now there was a bowl of something dark and indistinguishable. Lu Xiaobao was holding the edge of the bowl with his hand in anticipation, but when he saw it, he immediately looked away.

Su Qingyu even coaxed and lied, but only allowed him to take two bites and then refused to eat any more.

Seeing that Su Qingnao was anxious, Su's mother hurriedly held Xiaobao in her arms and said, "He is still young, what can you tell him? We avoid people at night and make some paste for Xiaobao."

Holding Xiaobao in his arms and coaxing him. Qingyang Qingxing and others stopped coaxing him and told them to eat all the multigrain porridge in their bowls with a straight face.

Su Qingnao felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Yaya also eating the grain porridge in small bites.

Their family used to be fine, eating, drinking, and happy. What's going on now?

After dinner, Su's father, Su Dahu, and the other four returned to their place. Because their family members were with the army, except for those on duty, the other men who were not on duty returned to their families.

When Su's father and others came back, they first looked at a few children, teased them a few words, and then the family got together to talk.

There were many people in the team who were accompanying the army with their families. After everyone had a good meal, they each found a place for their family members, not far or near everyone, and pulled tarpaulins to pitch their tents.

There weren't many families with Su Qingyu's complete equipment. Most of the others lay on the floor, next to the fire, with their clothes thrown over their heads and fell asleep.

This non-stop walking makes everyone feel as if their legs are filled with lead and cannot be lifted. As soon as they finished eating, most of them fell to the ground.

As soon as Su's father and others came back, Su's mother hurriedly twisted the hot handkerchief and asked them to apply it on their calves. She was secretly glad that all their pots and pans were still there.

In the past, everyone would ride in an ox-cart, and then get off for a walk after feeling numb. The ox-cart moved slowly, and could only cover about eighty miles in a day. Now, I heard that people had to get up before dawn. Like today, the car didn’t stop until sunset. He has to walk sixty miles a day.

Su's mother's eyes were sore and swollen, and Su's father was old and worried that he wouldn't be able to bear it.

Su's father comforted her: "It's okay. We farmers have never suffered anything. It's just that we have to walk a little longer, so there's nothing we can't bear. We are fine, but you haven't seen anyone in the team who is older than us. There are many who are weaker than us.”

When Lu Xiaobao saw Su's mother squeezing the calf muscles of Su's father, he also lay down and started stroking and squeezing them. This made Su's father amused, and he held him in his arms and kissed him for a long time.

"Our little baby is awesome. He doesn't cry or fuss. He is really a good grandson of our grandpa."

Su Qingnao glanced at her son who was playing with Su's father and felt puzzled.

This kid seems to be adjusting really well. I have never seen him howl during this journey. That time he howled so loudly that it was just because Su Qingyu had no milk to feed him. But he just howled a few times, and when he saw that he really had no food, he stopped.

This journey was bumpy, but I didn’t cry or make trouble. Today's meal was not to his liking, so he just turned his face away without crying.

Su Qingyu was concerned, fearing that his howling would annoy the soldiers, so she ordered him to be thrown away.

Now that I see him being obedient, I feel relieved.

Su Dahu took Su Qingyu's handkerchief, pressed it on his sore neck, and whispered: "I asked, our team will go to Fuzhou to join the main force, and then continue south to Fujian. ”

Zhou Dajiang also came over and whispered: "Yes. This is also the case after I inquired about it. There are only a few hundred of us, what can we do? I said from the beginning that there must be a bigger leader leading it."

Uncle Zhou also whispered: "I heard that Huang Shenzhi's family used to be a pig butcher in the countryside. His three brothers were all pig butchers. He is the youngest. He is twenty-two years old this year and has not yet been married. His father, mother and Both my brothers’ families are in the team.”

When the aunt heard this, she quickly told the news she had learned: "Huang Shenzhi is handsome, and many people in the team want to marry his old mother. If they can get there, the family will be happy and prosperous." . Don’t you see that the ox carts the Huang family rides in have carriages, so they don’t have to do any work, and many people are jealous.”

Su Qingyu stretched her neck and looked forward. She didn't see their family and lowered her head.

He whispered: "There are many old friends of Huang Shenzhi in this team. I heard that the three brothers of Huang Shenzhi came to join his brother. His brother's name is Huang Xu. I heard that he is the descendant of a general named Huang in Langya. . Huang Xuyuan was guarding the border in the northwest, and when he was embarrassed by the military officials, he killed them in anger, and then escaped with a team of less than a hundred people. He continued to collect some victims one after another, including Huang. People like Shen Zhi came to vote. I heard that the team now has five thousand people. "

Su Dahu and others all looked at Su Qingyu and admired her very much. She had heard all this news.

"There is a woman and her man following Huang Xu." Su Qingyu said hurriedly.

oh. So everyone only inquired about some gossip, but you suddenly found out about the core of the team?

"Dad, uncle, Da Hu and Da Jiang, don't act rashly. Let's wait and see. There are many people in the team who follow the army. They should not do anything risky. Let's follow them south first to see their intentions and then make plans."

Su's father nodded repeatedly.

I thought that the family was cautious and could get to the south properly to avoid the chaos. I didn't expect that I would be caught when I went down the mountain to buy food. If I had known that I would be caught, I might as well stay in the mountain and dig wild vegetables to eat. Now it's spring, and there are many wild vegetables.

Su's father was desperate and planned how to escape. Fortunately, he heard that women and children could follow the army, and the family could still be together, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

After everyone coaxed a few children to sleep, Su Qing'an and others talked for a while before going to sleep.

Before going to bed, Su's mother secretly made some rice paste to feed Xiaobao. Xiaobao might be hungry, and he closed his eyes and ate a bowl of rice paste. Su's mother breathed a sigh of relief.

At night, many fires were lit in the camp, so it didn't feel cold, but the mosquitoes were annoying. Fortunately, their house was better than others because it was surrounded by oilcloth. In the second half of the night, Su Qing'an hugged Xiaobao tightly in her arms and fell asleep in a daze.
