Chapter 85 Vanguard Team

When Su Xueyi heard Shen Yueyao's voice, her expression softened a lot and she explained, "Well, I need to tell my eldest brother about Daya's matter."

Shen Yueyao knew that Su Xueyi's eldest brother was called Su Xiuye. As the eldest son of the Marquis's Mansion, he was supposed to inherit the title and family business.

So he practiced martial arts since he was a child.

If it weren't for his martial arts skills, he wouldn't have been able to survive in the labor camp.

But I'm in the military camp now, and I don't know what's going on.

"Is Big Brother okay in the barracks?"

Su Xueyi's eyes darkened, a look of worry between her brows. She said, "My eldest brother sent someone to tell us that he's doing well in the barracks and that we don't need to worry."

"But I've never met Big Brother, so I don't know the details."

Shen Yueyao looked at Su Xueyi's expression and could feel that he was very worried about his brother.

"Since Big Brother sent someone to deliver the message, everything should be fine. Don't worry too much."

In fact, saying this is just to comfort Su Xueyi.

In the military camp, soldiers without any identity or background may be bullied.

If there is a dangerous battle, such soldiers will be arranged to fight.

Despite comforting Su Xueyi in this way, Su Xueyi's expression was still filled with sorrow.

Shen Yueyao thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is there any way to get your brother back?"

Su Xueyi said, "After I pass the imperial examination, my family will be exempted from military service, and my eldest brother can come back."

Shen Yueyao knew that the earliest Brother Su Xueyi could come back would be June.

"Then can you pay people to come back?"

Su Xueyi shook her head. "Our family doesn't have any connections. If we did, we might be able to get by with money."

Shen Yueyao thought about this matter in her heart, and thought that if there was a way, she would still have to let Brother Su Xueyi come back.

Fighting at the front of the military camp would be dangerous.

Because they were each thinking about something, the two of them didn't say much.

After washing up, Dabao and Erbao fell asleep, and Shen Yueyao also prepared to go to bed.

But after thinking about it, she still sat at the table, lit the oil lamp, and drew something.

Su Xueyi saw Shen Yueyao busying herself and said with some concern: "Yao Niang, you've been busy all day, don't get tired, go to bed early."

"It's okay, I'll go to bed after I finish drawing this."

Su Xueyi accidentally glanced at it, feeling a little confused. After trying to hold back, she quietly asked, "What is this?"

Shen Yueyao said: "This is a curved plow, a farming tool. With this, it will be much easier for us to grow crops."

Not many people in their Su family can do heavy physical work, so using this kind of farming tool will make growing crops much easier.

Su Xueyi was a little shocked.

He knew that when people were farming, they had to dig the ground bit by bit and plow the land, which was very hard work.

Although this thing looks strange, if you look closely, you can tell that it must be useful for plowing the land.

"Yao Niang can always make something different."

"Don't praise me, I'm just figuring it out."

There were no machines in this era, and everything had to be done manually. She could only try to get more useful tools.

This saves energy, every bit saved counts.

Looking at Shen Yueyao's expression and listening to her words, Su Xueyi felt that the pressure in her heart was much lighter.

Shen Yueyao lowered her head while painting and didn't notice that when Su Xueyi looked at her, there was a soft glow between her eyebrows.

"Oh, by the way, I was shopping earlier and saw some small vendors from other places setting up stalls to sell things. I thought the crops they produced were pretty good, so I thought about trying to grow some in the fields."

Shen Yueyao was talking about potatoes, sweet potatoes and leeks.

These three are really good things.

With potatoes and sweet potatoes, Shen Yueyao can make many delicious dishes.

You can also make French fries, mashed potatoes, and stew chicken with potatoes, which are all very delicious.

There are also sweet potatoes. Eating roasted sweet potatoes in winter will make you feel warm all over.

Su Xueyi said softly: "Well, Yao Niang, you can make the arrangements. You have the final say on family matters."

Shen Yueyao listened to Su Xueyi's gentle voice and suddenly realized that Su Xueyi had been very easy to talk to during this period of time.

He supports whatever she wants to do.

She felt a little confused.

After Shen Yueyao finished painting, she turned around and looked up at Su Xueyi and said, “I went to my mother’s place today and talked to Su Daya.”

"Um."

Looking at Su Xueyi's gentle and jade-like appearance, Shen Yueyao became even more curious.

She blinked and said, "You're not curious enough to ask me what Su Daya said?"

"Whatever Yao Niang says, you have your reasons. It's always good for Daya."

Shen Yueyao couldn't help but laugh, "Do you trust me so much?"

I have to say it feels really good to be trusted like this.

Su Xueyi sighed inwardly, he really trusted her.

Looking at Su Xueyi's expression, Shen Yueyao knew that he really believed her without him saying anything.

Shen Yueyao thought of Su Daya's words, and her expression changed. "Daya said something. She said that many wealthy families wanted to marry their daughters to you, and they said that I had used some tricks to marry you."

"It seems you were very popular back then?"

A dark light flashed across Su Xueyi's eyes, and she whispered, "Don't listen to Daya's nonsense. No matter who it was, I didn't agree."

“Is there no one who thinks it’s good?”

Shen Yueyao was very curious about what Su Xueyi was thinking underneath her cold expression.

Su Xueyi looked at Shen Yueyao's curious expression and pinched her eyebrows helplessly, "Yao Niang, there really is no one, only you."

Shen Yueyao's heart trembled.

For some reason, Su Xueyi's next words made her feel as if her heartstrings were being touched.

Is she being teased?

Su Xueyi should obviously hate her, but she only felt it on the day she traveled back in time.

I didn't seem to feel that emotion from him again afterwards.

Shen Yueyao didn't know if she was overthinking it. Her face was a little hot, and she said, "Well, it's getting late, let's get some rest."

She has to get up early tomorrow morning to go to the market in Beimai Village to sell things.

"good."

…

After Shen Yueyao lay down, she quickly fell asleep.

But after falling asleep that night, Shen Yueyao saw some scenes in her dream.

It seems like we are in a military camp.

She saw someone calling a name.

"Su Xiuye, have you recovered from your injuries? Hurry and go to the vanguard. We are calling for an overnight attack. Your mission is to burn the enemy's food supplies."

Shen Yueyao felt confused when she saw this.

Isn’t the vanguard team the suicide squad?

It must be very dangerous.

The scene changed. The vanguard of the suicide squad that Su Xiuye ​​was in successfully set fire to the food supplies, but before they could retreat, they were discovered and surrounded by the enemy.

It was a real strangulation.

Su Xiuye ​​fell to the ground covered in blood.

He stared with his eyes wide open, murmuring, "Mother, Third Brother, Daya..."

When Shen Yueyao saw this, she screamed.

"ah!"

She woke up immediately.

Su Xueyi was also suddenly awakened by Shen Yueyao's voice.

Su Xueyi quickly stood up and looked at Shen Yueyao, who was panting heavily. He was very worried. He could not care about anything else at this moment. He could only reach out to support Shen Yueyao and gently stroke her back. "Yao Niang, are you dreaming?"
