She hoped that everything would go smoothly, that the war would end soon, and that they would have peace sooner.
The Lantern Festival is just a few days away. On this day of family reunion, having these three people by your side will make you feel less lonely.
I wonder how my younger brother and sister, my second uncle and aunt, and Xiao Ran are doing now.
She had a feeling that this trip to the Western Regions would take at least three to five months, and at most a year and a half.
She wanted to take a look and see what business opportunities were available.
Getting rich has become a habit.
Qiu Yan works hard to make her life enjoyable.
“The general is brave and there is no need to worry,” Ling Ba replied to Qiu Yan.
Ling Qi added, "We will win this battle."
Qin Susu slowly woke up as she smelled the aroma of roasted meat.
Upon hearing Ling Qi's last sentence, she thought of the war and said, "I want to go find my father."
The moment the words left my mouth, I realized that something was off about the air around me.
She watched the three people's expressions change, "Okay, never mind."
As she spoke, she took the grilled meat that Qiu Yan handed her.
Qin Susu took a small bite of the rabbit meat, and it was so delicious she almost cried.
Sizzle sizzle
The poultry, fish, and rabbit meat they grilled were tender and juicy, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Qiu Yan held one in each hand and gently flipped them over.
The aroma of meat filled the air as the four of them ate and grilled, chatting about border defense.
Everyone wore a confident smile.
Tonight, they finally had a hearty meal.
Qin Susu ate with her mouth full of oil, but she still wasn't satisfied.
Qiu Yan had originally planned to leave some for the journey tomorrow.
But she was wrong; she overlooked Qin Su's appetite.
Qin Susu's belly was bulging, but she was still complaining that she wasn't full.
Tonight, Qiu Yan's first day, she's been eating and sleeping outdoors.
She and Qin Susu took refuge inside the carriage.
They had laid a thick layer of hay at the bottom of the carriage.
Qin Susu initially found it novel, but later she felt quite miserable.
The first time she spent the night outdoors, she tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
"Xiaoyan, tell me, why don't we just sleep in our perfectly good beds and instead go through all that trouble to go to that remote Western Regions? What's the point?"
She still doesn't know what Qiu Yan and the others are going to do in the Western Regions; she simply follows Qiu Yan wherever she goes.
She was simply blindly following.
"Of course it's for the sake of stability. The world is at peace. Be content, at least we still have a carriage to sleep in." Qiu Yan spoke wearily, her voice tinged with exhaustion.
As she spoke, she pointed outside the car to two men lying on a haystack.
"What do you mean?" Qin Susu's mind was in complete confusion.
"Go to sleep, we still have a long journey ahead tomorrow."
Qiu Yan turned over and fell asleep.
She was too sleepy to explain.
She assumed Qin Susu knew.
Qin Susu was unable to sleep at all because of Qiu Yan's words.
Finding that Ling Ba had not fallen asleep, she slowly got off the carriage and asked him what the purpose of their trip to the Western Regions was.
Ling Ba was too lazy to explain, "Don't disturb her peaceful sleep, Xiao Yan is about to be woken up by you."
He was sleepy, but he didn't dare to sleep.
He and Ling Qi had agreed that one of them would sleep in the first half of the night, and the other would sleep in the second half.
"Qin Susu, you've had enough sleep during the day, so you come here to torment people..." Ling Qi's words were mumbled, clearly indicating that she was exhausted.
He fell asleep halfway through his sentence.
"I..." Qin Susu lowered her voice, "Ling Ba, is it because of gunpowder?"
Having been with Qiu Yan for so long, she had naturally heard about the gunpowder incident.
"Since you already know, why are you asking me?"
"What's wrong with saying one more word? Are you really that stingy?" After complaining to Ling Ba, Qin Susu sat on the edge of the carriage and began counting the stars in the sky.
It looks like tomorrow will be a sunny day.
