"Zhao Zhao, come and sit down."
Zhan Nanxing bent his eyebrows and patted the bed beside him very gently.
Shen Zhaozhao got goose bumps on his back, and his inner alarm bells rang loudly.
I always feel that Zhan Nanxing's smile is a bit malicious.
"Let's go get some water," Zhan Ping and Huang Ye, two servants, saw that the situation was not right and turned around and ran away.
The door was closed and the room suddenly became quiet.
"Husband~"
Shen Zhaozhao forced a smile, pinched his throat and called out, then walked over slowly.
Zhan Nanxing smiled, and in a trance, he saw her fake and annoying behavior when he first met her.
That's what she does when she's weak.
It's very fake.
"Zhao Zhao," Zhan Nanxing raised his hand, pulled her, and asked her to sit next to him, with his eyes lowered, "Is my knee injury not going to heal?"
"Ah?" Shen Zhaozhao was wondering if he had offended him in some way, and suddenly blinked when asked this question.
Why did he suddenly think of this?
"No, there are still some equipment that have not been purchased. Didn't we agree that we will perform surgery on you after we arrive in Mobei and everything is ready and everyone is settled?"
Zhan Nanxing held her hand.
Her hands were small and delicate, and they were soft and boneless when clenched in her palms.
It is also this pair of skillful hands that brings out his superb medical skills.
"Well, I was anxious." Zhan Nanxing whispered, "Zhao Zhao doesn't know, I saw you sitting with them, talking and laughing, and I thought..."
Shen Zhaozhao asked inexplicably: "What are you thinking about?"
A smile flashed across Zhan Nanxing's eyes, "I just thought, it would be nice if I could always be with you..."
"Zhao Zhao, I'm very anxious..."
Shen Zhaozhao walked back to the dormitory in a daze, with Zhan Nanxing's deep and magnetic voice still echoing in his mind.
He was so anxious to have surgery and heal his leg injury so that he could be with her.
Shen Zhaozhao covered his face with one hand and pulled the quilt over his face with the other hand.
The next morning, Shen Zhaozhao got up late, and when he went downstairs, he saw that the Zhan family was already sitting around the table in the lobby of the inn eating breakfast.
The breakfast at the post station is not rich, but it is better than being full.
The Zhan family had plenty of money, so they packed some buns to eat on the road.
Although the Cao and Chen families were not as well-off as the Zhan family, they could still eat white flour steamed buns and porridge according to market prices.
When they were having dinner before, the three families were harmonious, but today, as soon as Shen Zhaozhao sat down, he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.
The volunteers did not eat the food at the post station, but ate breakfast with the dry food and cold water they brought with them.
While eating, he also said some unpleasant words.
"I never thought that these days, exiled prisoners eat better than we do."
"He was a corrupt official in Beijing before. How can we ordinary people compare with him?"
"Brother Wang, aren't the officers in charge? Just let them do as they please. They live well and eat well. They don't look like exiled prisoners at all. I wonder if they will take their families with them to Mobei to continue serving as officials!"
Wang Tou glanced at the three prisoners and snorted.
"It is winter now, and the grasshoppers after autumn can't jump for long."
Snap——
Guo slammed the chopsticks in her hand heavily on the table.
"What's the matter?" Wang Tou glared at him immediately. The woman from the Zhan family was the culprit who made him lose face in front of Huaer yesterday.
He remembers it all.
I'll wait until we get to Mobei and have a good talk with my cousin about these ignorant prisoners.
"Second brother's wife!" Lin didn't want Guo to cause trouble on impulse, so she reached out and pulled her back.
After all, they would be on the road soon. They had already been delayed in Youyun County for too long and could not afford to delay the journey any further.
"Oh, I didn't eat enough at this post station, but I did listen to enough gossip." Guo gave Wang Tou a glare and whispered to Shen Zhaozhao who was eating a bun.
"I think the escort named Wang has some idea about that girl called Hua'er," Guo muttered, "Why don't you just take a piss and see what's going on with your old bark face?"
"That girl is not a good person. She used the old bark as toilet paper and got the job done."
"Poor old tree bark, it thinks it's so charming, but in reality, it's just wiped and thrown away!"
Shen Zhaozhao bent his eyebrows, said nothing, and acted like a good listener.
Guo is a person with a good eye, but she has a clear distinction between what she likes and what she hates. Not only is she sharp-tongued, but she is also quite picky.
Lin also finished eating and glanced at Guo meaningfully.
Guo immediately became obedient and stopped complaining. She obediently stood up and helped Lin pack the buns for Lu Xiao.
The plump white buns were put into a clean cloth. If a full person saw them, he would not have any idea.
But the volunteers were never full.
Their hometown was so poor that they had to go to Mobei to seek a living. They were short of money, not only did they have no money to eat well at the post station, but even the dry food they brought with them on the road was coarse steamed buns that were difficult to swallow.
The quantity is still limited, so you have to eat sparingly.
"Gudong." A man stared at the white bun and couldn't help swallowing.
Huaer listened and smiled, "Second cousin, are you greedy? I see that the Zhan family only has a few women, and the men are disabled. I don't think they can eat so many buns."
"Lu xiao is resting at this time. Second cousin, why don't you borrow one or two buns from them while they are resting?"
"At worst, we can just go back to Mobei."
The man licked his lips and grinned.
"Yes, Hua'er's method is better. The Zhan family is made up of women with small appetites. They can't eat so much."
At the Zhan family, Shen Zhaozhao finished the porridge in the bowl, stood up contentedly, and stretched his body.
"Is everything ready?" The officers began to urge, "Line up and get ready to go!"
Wangtou also hurriedly called the volunteers to join him.
Even though he had a little quarrel with Jiang Hu yesterday, he still relied on the guards to protect him along the way.
After all, he was an escort and only brought three brothers with him on this escort mission.
If we encounter wild beasts or something on the grassland, there is strength in numbers.
"Hurry up, bring that plate over as well," seeing the servant urging her, Lin hurriedly called on Zhan Zhiyao to help pack.
Shen Zhaozhao put down his hand that was stretching and went over to help.
"We brought so much dry food this time?" Zhan Zhiyao poured a whole plate of untouched white steamed buns into the cloth and tied it up.
After finishing the job, I counted the bags and found that there were three big ones.
"Yes, Lord Zhao specifically told me yesterday that outside the town, there is a vast grassland. Without food supplies, we will have to rely on these buns and steamed buns for several days."
"Several days..."
Zhan Zhiyao was amazed when she heard this. Although she was a daughter of a general, she had never been out of Beijing. This was her first time walking on the prairie.
Yang walked over to her side, looking at the three bags of dry food with a casual look, then glanced at the volunteer, pursed her lips and said:
"Watch out, don't let anyone steal it, or we'll starve to death on the grassland."
