Chapter 191: Military and Civilians Are One Family
As the sky grew darker, the enthusiasm of the people and soldiers spread like wildfire.
At first, Xie Xuan wanted to use the cafeteria to stagger his meals.
But when the people heard that the game was hunted for them by the Qilin Army and was prepared by themselves, how could they just sit and wait to eat it?
Every household opened their courtyard doors, and the kitchen, which had been unused for a long time, was put to use again.
Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and other bottles and jars were carried out.
The soldiers lined up like a long dragon. Initially, they wanted to roast the game outside and then serve it on the table.
In the end, he was surrounded by enthusiastic people. Not only did they ask about his well-being, but they also started to eat while grilling.
Some even sang and danced around a bonfire where game was roasted.
The scene was extremely lively for a while.
In front of the Su family's house, Xie Xuan was personally preparing a wild roe deer, and Brother Heng couldn't wait and started drooling.
After resolving the Fan family's issue, grandparents felt relieved and joined the men who had returned from working in the mine to help.
This time, the fourth sister rarely went out and smiled.
On the long street, piles of bonfires were lit, burning the natural barrier in the cold wind into a scorching heat.
The Su family hadn't been this happy for a long time. They temporarily put aside their worries and focused only on the warmth of the moment.
The Qilin Army, which has always been worshipped as a god by the people, now enjoys life with the people and is no longer as menacing as before.
Bai Shuo watched the scene of military-civilian integration and quietly drank a sip of medicinal wine.
Qing Ning, with a serious face, rescued a snow-white rabbit from General Mu Ze.
"How old is it? You want to eat it?"
"Isn't this tender? I want you to try it."
The voice of Makize's explanation was blown away by the winter wind and was unclear.
County Magistrate Sang, who was standing by, saw the stern-faced young general being scolded and smiled while stroking his beard.
He grabbed the leg of the robe that Xie Xuan handed to him personally with one hand, and without caring about the burn, he took a big bite of it.
In the afternoon, he finally completed his mission by giving Feng all the beatings she deserved.
Su Shengsheng was cutting the meat slices herself on the chopping board placed outside.
How can the women eat as much as the men?
Just as my hands were cold, a piece of meat was handed to my mouth.
Su Shengsheng looked up and saw Xie Xuan removing the tendons and bones and handing the roe deer meat slices to her lips.
"This one is the most delicious. Please try it."
Su Shengsheng glanced at her family out of the corner of her eye and saw that they weren't paying attention to her before she bit down.
Xie Xuan smiled, his obsidian pupils shining surprisingly brightly.
He took the cutting knife from Su Shengsheng's hand and said, "Let me do it."
The roe deer have been roasted and Chu Zhao is dividing them up.
Su Shengsheng was also a little hungry, so she didn't refuse.
Xie Xuan said, "Han Yan and some young generals hunted a brown bear. After they've taken care of the bear's hide, they've made some bedding for Grandpa. Winter weather in Tianqian Pass is no match for the Imperial Capital."
Brown bear?
That young General Han?
Su Shengsheng glanced at Han Yan, who was toasting with her brother on the side, and his thin figure of about seventeen or eighteen years old.
It is true that there are no bad sons in a general's family.
only……
Su Shengsheng withdrew her gaze with a slight hesitation, "I'm afraid Grandfather won't be able to use it."
These ferocious beasts all carry some indescribable aura.
For example, she couldn't sleep well on that tiger-skin mattress last time.
Upon hearing this, Xie Xuan paused and looked at Su Shengsheng.
Su Shengsheng realized that he had misunderstood her words and quickly explained, "I mean, that thing looks creepy."
But Xie Xuan did not look away, but frowned instead.
Su Shengsheng was just wondering why he looked at her like that when Han Yan offered her a bowl of wine.
Su Shengsheng looked in surprise at the wine bowl that was bigger than her palm.
When Xie Xuan glanced at him coldly, Han Yan chuckled and said, "Brother, drink first as a sign of respect. Sister-in-law, please do as you please."
Seeing him drink the wine in a few gulps, Su Shengsheng couldn't refuse and could only drink a small sip.
The taste is not pungent, but rather fiery, like a burning flame that goes all the way to the internal organs.
Seeing a red cloud suddenly rising on Su Shengsheng's face, Xie Xuan shot a cold look at Han Yan.
Han Yan was glared at and touched his nose. "This is the strong liquor used by the army to warm the body. I forgot that my sister-in-law is not used to it..."
He laughed dryly a few times, and under Xie Xuan's gaze, he could only retreat in defeat.
Although it was very uncomfortable to drink such a strong liquor, the cold wind of the winter night and the scorching heat of the campfire warmed my body from the inside out.
Su Shengsheng wiped his lips and was about to put down his wine bowl, but a young general appeared out of nowhere.
"Respectfully, Madam."
He didn't even say anything polite and just drank a bowl of wine.
Then he turned his gaze to the wine bowl that she had not put down yet, which made Su Shengsheng speechless and she could only take a sip.
This time, before she could find a chance to slip away, several young generals came over to toast her.
"Respectfully, Madam."
Su Shengsheng looked confused.
There's no such thing as force-feeding the bride in military camp wedding customs, right?
Why does it feel like they are not here to respect her, but to make trouble for her?
She had already eaten a few pieces of meat, and after drinking the flaming wine, she actually felt a little dizzy.
As soon as this group of people retreated, Xie Xuan stood in front of her without waiting for other soldiers to surround her.
Seeing his reaction, the soldiers who were brought by Han Yan no longer dared to step forward and make trouble.
"The general is angry. We dare not go there."
Han Yan threw a peanut into his mouth and shook his head as he watched Xie Xuan, who had gone down to rest after Fusu Shengsheng went down.
"Soul of a beauty, tomb of a hero, our general is doomed!"
After asking around, they found no signs that the new sister-in-law liked their general.
If he hadn't forced her to marry him, she would have run away to the ends of the earth.
He didn't mean to make things difficult for others by asking them to drink.
But it depends on whether the new sister-in-law will ask the general for help.
He drank alone, and the general assigned him to fight back.
The general had no choice but to endure it because he could not refuse the public sentiment.
But this new sister-in-law was already drunk and didn't even look at the general!
These two people... I'm afraid...
"How is it? Where does it hurt?"
Xie Xuan helped Su Shengsheng into the yard, but when he saw her covering her chest, he didn't lead her into the house.
I don’t know what’s wrong with these bastards.
Su Shengsheng waved her hand but didn't say anything.
At this moment, I just feel my hands and feet trembling, and my heart is anxious and I am short of breath.
What kind of wine is this!
Such fierceness...
Xie Xuan didn't expect that she was so drunk.
Seeing that she was in real pain, he hesitated for a moment and then picked her up sideways.
"I'll take you back to the mansion, and leave this place to Mu Ze and the others."
Su Shengsheng originally wanted to hold on, but with each person toasting her, and since she hadn't eaten much, she naturally couldn't hold on.
I could only nod.
Mrs. Li, who followed in, saw that her daughter was unwell and wanted to lead her into the house, but she saw her son-in-law carrying her out.
"This wine is strong, and the heat in the room is making it uncomfortable. I'm taking her home now, mother-in-law, please stay."
After all, today is the day for a newlywed to return home, and it is not convenient for a married daughter to stay overnight at her parents' home.
Seeing her daughter looking uncomfortable, Mrs. Li was afraid that she would become uncomfortable if she entered the house.
He could only agree to let Xie Xuan take his daughter away.
When the young generals saw Xie Xuan carrying Su Shengsheng onto the horse, they slapped their legs and said, "Oh no! He got drunk."
Han Yan saw Xie Xuan carefully wrapping Su Shengsheng in his cloak and smiled, "Maybe it's a good thing!"
The young generals taunted him, "Wait and see if the general will come after you."
Han Yan grinned, "You can't run away!"
Everyone then realized that they had been dragged into this by him.
“…”
