Chapter 32 Miss Jiang is sick, the shop is closed
After having dinner, Jiang Yi originally intended to go and discuss with them the follow-up management of the disaster victims.
They searched two tents but couldn't find anyone, leaving only two untouched bowls of dinner.
I asked the guards and found out that the two of them had gone in the direction of Jishui Village.
Jiang Yi had no choice but to stay at the camp and wait for them to return.
While we were waiting, a sentry suddenly reported that two strange beams of light were heading towards the camp!
Jiang Yi was shocked!
"All troops on high alert! His Highness the Crown Prince is still in the camp; we cannot afford any mishap! Quickly! Take me to see him!"
The soldier led Jiang Yi to the small hillside in a flurry of activity.
At this point, the two beams of light were less than 300 meters away from the military camp.
And it is still getting closer.
Jiang Yi looked at the two beams of light rushing towards him in the distance with fear and unease.
He couldn't figure out what it was, but he could clearly sense that the destination of the two beams of light was the military camp!
He paused, the word "formation" rising in his throat!
Suddenly, he seemed to see two horses directly below the pillar of light...
I spotted two familiar figures on horseback again!
Jiang Yi kicked the soldier in the butt, "If you lie about military intelligence again next time, I'll execute you on the spot!"
The soldier was on the verge of tears; he had never encountered anything like this before!
When Jiang Yi reached the door, Cheng Fang and Zhao Jingxing had already dismounted.
Hands full of spoils.
Many soldiers gathered around, curiously watching the beams of light in their hands.
"Captain, what is that? Why is it so bright?"
"Is this a torch? I can't see any fire."
"Could there be a luminous pearl inside?"
Jiang Yi angrily shouted at them to leave, "Don't you have any work to do! Get back to your posts! Anyone who neglects their duty will receive thirty strokes of the cane!"
At this point, Cheng Fang and Zhao Jingxing had already turned off their flashlights.
Cheng Fang, carrying a large bag of instant noodles, put his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder and said, "Jiang Yi, I'm treating you to something delicious! I guarantee you'll be so happy you'll want to cry for heaven!"
Zhao Jingxing walked beside him carrying a bag of cookies and a bag of soda.
Jiang Yi couldn't explain that he had mistaken the pillars of light in their hands for demons.
He asked in a deep voice, "What was that beam of light you were holding just now?"
Cheng Fang was in a great mood. He had a childlike nature and couldn't help but show off when he got something new and interesting.
He held up the flashlight in his hand. "You mean this? This is called a light lamp! Miss Jiang was worried about our safety walking at night, so she gave it to us. It's amazing! Just a gentle push and a bright beam of light shoots out, illuminating the road ahead with crystal clarity!"
After saying that, she even demonstrated it for him.
As the switch was turned on, a beam of light shot out, making even the floating dust in the air clearly visible, and the tents not far away were enveloped in light and shadow.
Just like the magical weapons described in those stories, it felt like the tent that was enclosed in front of me would be taken into this black cylinder in the next second!
Could this be a celestial treasure?!
Jiang Yi was stunned, and his emotions remained unsettled for a long time!
His hands trembled involuntarily as he tried to touch the glowing object!
Just as his hand was about to touch it, Cheng pulled back and swiftly turned off the flashlight.
Pretending not to see his expression, a sly smile appeared in her eyes.
"Come on! I'll take you to cook some noodles!"
Light the fire, set up the pot, add water, put in the noodles, and pour in the seasonings. Then pick a few wild vegetables from the roadside, wash them, and throw them in.
At the end of Hai hour (9-11 PM), the military camp was filled with the sound of people slurping noodles!
Jiang Ling was confused and gave them several large bottles of soda, but forgot to give them disposable cups.
These grown men didn't mind at all; they drank directly from the bottle and then passed it on to the next person.
However, Cheng Fang, being a young marquis, was still a bit particular; he could only drink this bottle himself.
For no other reason than the money he gave me!
"Captain, this instant noodles is so delicious!" The guard squatted in the corner, slurping them down.
"How was this broth made? It's so rich and full of meaty flavor!"
"I've been eating noodles for decades, and this is the first time I've ever had noodles this delicious!"
"If I could eat this every day, I would gladly go into battle!"
A big pot, ten packs of instant noodles, and not a drop of soup was left.
The nine people licked their bowls, still wanting more!
Instant noodles received consistently positive reviews, but the reviews for soft drinks were generally lukewarm.
They just thought of it as a kind of sweet water that bites. After drinking it, they could burp very happily.
Because of the delay on the way, the ice-cold soda that was taken out of the refrigerator had become room temperature when it returned to the military camp!
However, sweet water was also a rare treat in those days, so the large bottle was divided among six people and was finished in no time.
However, for Jiang Yi, the noodles were delicious and the water was refreshing!
But he wanted that divine weapon even more!
Cheng Fang, that stingy fellow, covered himself up tightly, not revealing a single bit.
I asked several times, but she always gave me other excuses.
Zhao Jingxing was kind enough to lend him the equipment for a while, but he quickly took it back.
Jiang Yi, envious, leaned closer to Cheng Fang and said:
"Next time you go to Miss Jiang's place, please take me with you. I don't know if it's because I'm just not meant to be with Miss Jiang, but I never see her every time I go!"
He couldn't buy a black tinderbox, but now he has a lamp, which makes him really eager to get one!
He didn't expect Miss Jiang to give him anything; he was willing to spend all his savings to buy it for her!
Cheng Fang took a big gulp of soda and burped contentedly. "Miss Jiang is sick and may not be at the shop for the next few days."
"Oh? When did she say she'd be back?"
"He didn't say."

When the clock strikes midnight.
Ping'an County's red-light district welcomes its fifth annual "Flower Queen" winner, Hongxiu Girl!
The atmosphere suddenly became enthusiastic, and the audience members all agreed that he deserved the award!
The most promising contender for the title of courtesan, the pearl maiden Gui Qu Lai Xi, has now left the stage in disappointment.
She had already failed to be selected in the capital, and now she had failed again in Ping'an County. She was destined to have no hope of becoming the top courtesan in this lifetime.
Master Huang had been waiting all night, thinking that this little vixen would surely be rejected. He had even brought all the gold and silver, determined to win her virginity tonight!
In his heart, he thought that Hongxiu, that little vixen, had clearly entered this profession, but still insisted on putting on the airs of a noble lady.
In recent years, she has become quite well-versed in poetry, literature, and etiquette, which makes her seem even more arrogant and ignorant, and she has rejected my advances several times!
He was determined to torment her tonight and make her realize that she was nothing but a lowly, prostitute!
A rag that has been played with and can be discarded at will!
But when she appeared in a red dress tonight, even he couldn't help but be amazed!
He used to think this little girl was pretty, but today's makeup and red dress made her truly stunning!
This only fueled his desire, and his eyes burned with an intense lust for what he wanted!
In the past few months, he has done a lot of behind-the-scenes sabotage in order to get this little slut.
The rumor that she was not as beautiful as Mingzhu from "Returning Home" was spread by him.
They even colluded with the girls in the peony-lined building to openly and subtly belittle her and undermine her confidence.
Seeing her like this tonight, they spent a lot of money to bribe the judges and secretly cheat.
But even so, she still won the title of the most beautiful courtesan!
Master Huang stared at that face with a look of resentment on his face!
He secretly vowed that one day he would hold this little slut in his hands and torture her severely!
