We drank the broth twice before we started to share the wild boar meat. There were too many people, so the meat was cut into pieces and distributed one by one.
There is no other way. We have to take care of everyone, big and small, and not favor one over the other.
When Naituanzi woke up, it was already dark. He rubbed his eyes, sniffed his nose, and smelled the aroma of meat.
[Grandfather is really quick, he's already cooking someone up? I want to go check it out.]
The old lady sitting in the outer room heard her voice and knew that her granddaughter had woken up. She immediately got up and went into the house to prepare to dress her.
"Xiaoxiao! Are you awake?"
"grandmother!"
The little girl sat up and stretched out her hands to be held. She was so soft and fluffy that it made anyone's heart melt.
The old lady held the person in her arms and took the clothes beside her for her to wear. There was an unwritten rule in the family that whatever mattered to Chu Xiaoxiao, they had to do it themselves.
Never ask others to do things for you unless you are too busy.
This was what the old lady told Yang. Her granddaughter had a big secret and she couldn't let too many people know about it for fear of accidents.
Children are young, and sometimes they are bound to do things carelessly. We should always be safe from danger and be cautious.
Maybe she was worrying too much. Her granddaughter was very capable and nothing would happen to her. She always felt that it was better to be cautious.
This time when she came to the farm, she only brought the old maid with her, and did not bring anyone else with her, as it was troublesome.
She sent the old nanny out to work, and she sat in the outer room to look after her granddaughter.
After putting on her clothes, she combed her messy little hair, washed her face and hands, and took her out.
My little granddaughter said she wanted to see the stewed wild boar meat, so I had to satisfy her.
Looking at the rows of people holding bowls in their hands, waiting to drink soup, Naituanzi's eyes widened a lot.
[What's the point of this? Just drink the soup without eating the meat? ]
The charcoal-haired guy ran over, holding a half bowl of soup he had just queued for, and handed it to Chu Xiaoxiao: "Drink it! I asked for it especially for you."
The milk ball lowered its head and sniffed, then shook its head and waved its hands, showing disgust.
"No."
[What's so good about soup? I want to eat meat. ]
The old lady laughed secretly. Her little granddaughter really didn't like to drink soup, she only liked to drink milk.
"Black Charcoal Head! Drink it yourself! Xiaoxiao doesn't want to drink soup. I see the meat is ready and I'm cutting it up to share with everyone. I'll go get her a few pieces."
They were indeed cutting meat and distributing it to the people in line. The old Duke was in charge, and everyone, regardless of gender or age, was given a palm-sized piece of meat. The extra meat was distributed to the elderly, the infirm, children, and women.
Those who want to drink soup can queue up to get it.
The meat and bones had been cooked and separated. The bones were thrown into a pot to make soup, and the meat was taken out and put into a bowl, then cut and shared among everyone.
There is plenty of soup, enough for you.
The old Duke also told everyone: "After the bones are cooked into soup, smash them and grind them into powder. Bone powder is also a good thing. The bone powder of the old snake spirit can be used as medicine, and the bone powder of the wild boar spirit is the same. Don't waste it."
All the old soldiers listened attentively and nodded silently.
"We will remember and do as the prince commands."
"That bone powder must be a good thing. We should keep it well. It may save someone's life someday."
"The prince's visit this time has brought us a lot of benefits! My old cold legs don't hurt at all, and my old injuries are much better."
"Me too. The scar on my left eye socket often flares up. It hurts when it pulls to the back of my head. But after drinking the soup, it doesn't hurt at all."
The old Duke looked at the remaining old brothers and felt a strange feeling in his heart. They were once full of vigor and courage, but time was merciless and they all grew old in the blink of an eye.
The same goes for him. If God hadn't given him a fairy granddaughter, he might have died. Once the Chu family encountered disaster, the military households following them would definitely have a hard time.
Now that Prince Duan is in power, he will definitely not let them go easily.
Fortunately...
Fortunately, fortunately...
There was still time for everything and nothing bad happened.
God has gifted the Chu family with a little baby to stop all the bad things from happening. From now on, he and his old brothers just need to take good care of their health.
"The meat of monsters has spiritual energy. Eating it can prolong your life. If something extraordinary comes to the mountain in the future, don't act rashly. Send someone to report to the palace. I will bring the national master to capture it."
All the old soldiers were smiling.
"Remember, remember this. If the Imperial Master hadn't been here today, we wouldn't have been able to catch these two wild boar monsters."
"I will instruct them that if they find any strange animals in the mountains, they must not disturb them and report them to the palace."
"The Imperial Master is really amazing. I have never been able to find any trace of the four vines that bound the wild boar spirit."
"The servants around the national master are also very powerful. They are not even as tall as the sword, but they can actually lift such a big sword. If such people were released into the battlefield, the people of the North would be scared to pee their pants."
The old Duke smiled faintly: "The Northern Kingdom has surrendered and sent hostages. I heard that they are currently fighting among themselves, and it is uncertain who will win or lose. We don't have to do anything, just stand aside and watch them fight.
If we kill all the princes, it will take at least 10 to 20 years for us to rise again. In this way, we can rest and recuperate for 10 to 20 years. In the future, our national strength will become stronger and stronger, and the Northern Kingdom will not dare to covet us at all. "
"That would be great. There would be no need for war. The people in the north could open up wasteland and cultivate land, build roads and bridges, and dig rivers to store water."
"Yes, yes, yes. Reclaim all the fields over there, and you won't have to worry about the army running out of food."
"Your Highness! Let's go to the North sometime! I was not in good health before, so I didn't dare to hope to go back. Now that I am better, I want to go to the place where I shed blood and sweat when I was young, and take a look. I can close my eyes when I die."
"Yes! Your Highness! We are old and don't have much time left. If we can go back and take a look, it will be worth it even if we can't come back. My sons and grandchildren are all there, and that is our home."
The old Duke was moved by everyone's talk. He hadn't been to the North for a long time. Now that it was his fiefdom, he might as well go back and take a look.
But he had to accompany his granddaughter to the three states and six prefectures, and could not leave for the time being.
"It's not that I don't want to go back, but I have something else to do. Nanyun Kingdom surrendered, the emperor took back the three states and six prefectures, and sent the state master and the prince on a tour, and I must follow."
Everyone's eyes lit up. With such a good thing happening, they wanted to go too.
"My Lord! Take us with you."
"Yes, I want to go. Your Majesty! I am really well now, and there is nothing wrong with me."
"And me, I am well too. I want to go on tour with the prince."
"Your Majesty! You can't be partial. If you want to go, everyone should go with you. No one can be left behind. We are old, and we don't have many days left to be together."
"We are your personal soldiers. Wherever you go, we will go."
Looking at a group of old brothers, the old duke was filled with emotion.
Yes! They are his personal soldiers, the ones who trained and grew up together. Originally there were 120 of them, but now only these few are left.
Every time he fought a battle, he was able to remain safe and sound thanks to the dedication of his personal soldiers.
They are brothers who truly rely on each other and protect him with their own lives. How can you go on a long journey without taking them with you?
