Wow, did I hear that right, streamer? The general is inviting you!
Say yes! Say yes!
Putting everything else aside, just because the general is so handsome, I'd agree without hesitation!
The viewers in the live stream were shocked, as was Xu Nian.
She thought Gu Zhan was just asking questions on a whim, but she didn't expect him to have such a plan.
“The army is tough, but if you come, those soldiers will definitely go into the mountains to hunt every day, and they won’t have to worry about food.”
Gu Zhan wasn't joking at all and began to explain in detail.
He felt that Xu Nian might be a rare talent in this chaotic world, not to mention that she was proficient in cooking and fighting.
After confirming several times, Xu Nian finally understood that Gu Zhan was serious and immediately fell silent.
It has to be said that the conditions Gu Zhan offered were quite tempting.
On one side was an endless road of fleeing famine, and on the other was a stable life in the military camp.
On one side were hundreds of people who were like burdens, and on the other side were hundreds of heavily armed guards.
Anyone would know how to choose.
If you ask me, I'd go to the military. Staying here is just a thankless task!
[Yes, those villagers have no sense of gratitude whatsoever; keeping them around is pointless.]
[You can't say that, there are still some people who really like and respect the streamer.]
After a long silence, Xu Nian raised her head slightly, a gentle smile on her face.
"Never mind, I have to stay."
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across Gu Zhan's brows, but he didn't press further and nodded in understanding.
He was merely extending an invitation, not coercing Xu Nian, and naturally respected Xu Nian's wishes.
Wow, the streamer is so kind to these villagers!
Watching Gu Zhan leave, Xu Nian then spoke slowly, "Although some of them are ungrateful, most of them are simple and honest rural people. As long as I stay here, I can ensure their continued survival."
She thought it over a lot and finally decided to stay.
First, she couldn't bear to ignore the lives of so many people; second, she had already discussed many matters with the village chief, and to withdraw now would be contrary to her usual style.
The sky darkened quickly, and a cold wind blew through the night.
The soldiers sat listlessly, too hungry to speak.
But it's impossible for them to shamelessly beg from the people.
Xu Nian realized they must be hungry, so she picked up the grain bag and asked the village chief to borrow a pot, saying, "Village chief, can I use this pot?"
"They're here."
Originally, Wang Jinmei was in charge of the pot, but the village chief felt she was too fussy, so he decided to take charge of it himself.
The villagers hadn't actually eaten; they didn't have much food to begin with, so dinner seemed like an extravagance.
Seeing Xu Nian preparing to start a fire and cook, they couldn't help but swallow hard, watching eagerly.
"Gu Zhan, have your men go pick some wild vegetables to eat."
Xu Nian was preparing to cook a large pot of porridge, but thinking that it might not be flavorful enough, she raised her voice to the man beside her.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan didn't speak, but simply gave a wink to the side.
The soldiers immediately stood up and rushed into the forest without saying a word.
While cooking, Xu Nian focused her mind on her spatial storage, found some long-treasured ready-to-eat meat and pickled vegetables, and also took out some sweets that children love, stuffing them all into her pocket.
The steaming hot porridge was cooked quickly, filling the air with its aroma.
Everyone was drooling, but no one spoke up.
Xu Nian has already done so much for them. If he continues to ask for more, it will probably annoy people. Therefore, they all believe that this is what the immortal did for the soldiers.
Da Bao and Er Bao sat around the pot, humming a song, "Food's here! Big sister's the best!"
Xu Nian smiled and patted their shoulders, feeling quite satisfied.
These two children used to be skin and bones with sallow faces, but now they have regained some color and are much stronger.
"Everyone, line up to get your bowls later. One bowl per person, that's all."
Seeing that the porridge and wild vegetables were almost ready, Xu Nian called out to the villagers.
Immediately, the surrounding villagers stared in disbelief, asking, "Is this for us to eat?"
"Otherwise, why would I cook so much? Come on over, eat and then you can sleep better."
Xu Nian had no shortage of food, so he was naturally generous to his own people, standing in front of the porridge and serving them bowl by bowl.
The streamer is so kind to them. If I were one of those villagers, I would be moved to tears.
Seriously, I hope these people won't betray the streamer.
We all see how great the streamer is, so please follow, like, and share the live stream to give the streamer some motivation!
Instantly, the popularity of the live broadcast room soared, and to Xu Nian's surprise, the amount of silver coins exceeded one hundred taels for the first time.
This was a momentous occasion. Xu Nian's face lit up with joy as she called out to the soldiers, "You all come and get some later, and eat it with the wild vegetables."
Suddenly, the soldiers were overjoyed and cheered, "Miss Xu, you're a living Bodhisattva!"
"Isn't that general going to eat?"
Xu Nian was ladling porridge when she suddenly heard someone mutter something in front of her. She looked up and saw that it was Zhao Yingying.
Zhao Yingying stared at Gu Zhan with starry eyes, and couldn't help but ask again, "When is he leaving?"
Seeing this, Xu Nian calmly said, "I don't know."
She wasn't a child who had never been in love, so she naturally understood the complexities in Zhao Yingying's mind.
Hearing this, Zhao Yingying, still harboring feelings for Gu Zhan, happily ran over with the porridge in her arms.
"Brother Gu, it's too cold at night, would you like some porridge?"
Gu Zhan was resting with his eyes closed when a voice suddenly came from in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw a strange girl. He frowned and asked, "Do I know you?"
Zhao Yingying's face immediately turned red, but she continued, "I'm from the village. I saw that you hadn't eaten, so I came to bring you some."
As she spoke, Zhao Yingying was about to stuff the porridge into Gu Zhan's hand.
However, Gu Zhan stood up, deftly dodging the attack, and said in a calm voice, "Thank you, but it's not necessary."
Immediately afterwards, he strode away, moved to another tree, sat down, and closed his eyes.
Zhao Yingying froze in mid-air, holding the porridge, feeling incredibly embarrassed, and reluctantly withdrew her hand.
"Gu Zhan, aren't you going to eat something? I saved some for you."
Just then, Xu Nian finished serving the porridge and noticed that Gu Zhan didn't seem to be getting up, so she called out to him.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhan's face remained expressionless, but he quickly stood up, walked to Xu Nian's side, and asked with his head down, "Did you do it?"
"Of course, it's delicious, eat up!"
After spending a few days together, Xu Nian had pretty much figured out Gu Zhan's temperament, and was no longer reserved. She handed him the bowl with a smile and secretly slipped him a piece of meat.
"This is something I secretly left for you, don't tell anyone else."
Gu Zhan raised an eyebrow, took it without hesitation, and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But Zhao Yingying saw everything from a short distance away, and her hand holding the bowl gradually turned white.
Why did Gu Zhan eat the food Xu Nian gave him, but not the food he gave himself?
Why should I?!
