"Searchlight, shovel, hard-shell jacket..."
Shen Zhaozhao checked the list, bought the seafood at the market, and then went to sleep.
Early the next morning, Shen Zhaozhao packed her bags and prepared to leave. Because she had an appointment with her fourth and fifth brothers, she didn't have time to sit down for breakfast, so she grabbed a white steamed bun and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Zhao Zhao, take these," Guo handed over a bundle of paper.
Shen Zhaozhao opened it and saw that there were actually a few white steamed buns and a few eggs.
White steamed buns are common, but eggs are much less common!
"Second sister-in-law, what is this?" Shen Zhaozhao pointed at the egg.
"When this house was being renovated, I asked Huang Ye to help build a chicken coop in the yard?" Guo said, "I went to the market yesterday and bought a few hens and a rooster."
"Guess what, the hen laid eggs early this morning!"
"So you use it to hatch eggs for me to eat?" Shen Zhaozhao stared.
"Without you guys, the hen will definitely lay eggs tomorrow," Guo said without any concern. "My third brother specifically asked Zhan to come and tell me this morning that you were going on a long trip, and asked me to bring you some delicious food."
Shen Zhaozhao was carrying the heavy bag and felt it was very heavy.
In fact, she had already bought some compressed dry food and energy drinks, so she could have a few on the way.
"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Shen Zhaozhao carried the burden on her back. This was a kindness from her family, and she had to cherish it.
"Why are you thanking me? You should thank your third brother!"
Shen Zhaozhao walked out, and Guo's joking laughter followed her.
"I'll thank him when I get back." Shen Zhaozhao replied with a smile.
She made an appointment with her fourth and fifth brothers to meet at the gate of the camp.
Shen Zhaozhao walked through the residential area. In the early morning, some vendors had set up stalls on both sides of the street, and there were also people going out to buy things.
A wonton stand was doing good business. The boss was busy in front of the stall. The boiling water in the pot was boiling, meeting the cool air, stirring up bursts of white mist.
Shen Zhaozhao strode past the wonton stall.
“Sister Shen?”
A clear female voice called her.
Shen Zhaozhao stepped back in surprise and looked towards the wonton stall. When the thick white mist dissipated, he vaguely saw Cao Ya.
She was sitting at a table next to the stall with a bowl of wontons in front of her.
"Sister Cao, why are you going out to eat wontons so early?" Shen Zhaozhao greeted her and was about to continue on her way when she saw Cao Ya running out in a hurry.
"Where is Sister Shen going so early?" Cao Ya looked at the bag on Shen Zhaozhao's body curiously, "Is she...going to run away from home?"
Shen Zhaozhao laughed awkwardly.
Cao Ya is really good at asking key questions.
"General Wude and I hit it off right away, and his friend happened to be here, so he invited me to come over for a chat." Shen Zhaozhao started to make up stories again.
After all, she was going to prospect for gold.
It would be fine if no one in the group knew about it, since we are all in the same boat, but Cao Ya is the same.
"Sister Cao continued to eat the wontons, but they were cold and cooled quickly."
Shen Zhaozhao finished speaking and quickly ran away.
"It just so happens that I've finished eating wontons," Cao Ya followed Shen Zhaozhao with a smile, "My house has been renovated, so there's nothing I can do for you. It's an eyesore in front of my stepmother."
"Sister Shen, if you go sightseeing and meet friends, just take me with you!"
Shen Zhaozhao paused and glanced at Cao Ya suspiciously.
This guy seems suspicious no matter how I look at him.
Was it that the news that she was going to prospect for gold had leaked out?
But Cao Ya had nothing on either side, and seemed to be prepared to wait here for something to happen.
Looking at Cao Ya, who was full of expectation, Shen Zhaozhao gnashed his teeth secretly.
I have to find a way to reject her.
Dead brain!
Think quickly!
"Sister Cao, I heard that General Wude's friend is timid and doesn't like to be around strangers..." Shen Zhaozhao smiled, and her meaning was very clear.
He is socially anxious, don’t follow him!
Cao Ya exclaimed, "Is that so? Then I..."
Before he could finish his words, a carriage drove up from afar on the street, the curtain opened, revealing the head of the fifth brother.
Shen Zhaozhao also heard the noise and looked over.
His brows twitched.
"Hey! Sixth sister!"
"Good morning!"
"Fourth brother said we should take a carriage, so he came to pick you up."
"Look, our fourth brother is so cute?"
"Whoa—" Guan Xiaole stopped the carriage in front of the two girls. Before he could say anything, the chatterbox in the carriage had finished his words.
Sun Xiaowu poked his head out and looked at Cao Ya curiously, "Is this Sixth Sister's friend? Are you together?"
Shen Zhaozhao: …
She knew that if she sewed this man's mouth shut, he would cause trouble sooner or later!
"This is General Wude's friend, right?" Cao Ya curved her eyebrows and met Sun Xiaowu's equally curved eyebrows. "Sister Shen also heard that you are shy!"
"Hahaha." Sun Xiaowu laughed three times and pointed at his own shamelessness, "It's a joke that I'm afraid of strangers..."
As he spoke, he met Shen Zhaozhao's gaze that wanted to stab him.
The next words were stuck in my throat.
I realized later that I seemed to have said something wrong...
"So the general's friend is so shy... Sister Cao just happened to meet him, so let's go together," Shen Zhaozhao glared at Sun Xiaowu.
"Okay then, what should I bring?" Cao Ya got in the car and saw that Shen Zhaozhao and Sun Xiaowu were both carrying a large bag.
"Hey, thanks. I prepared a lot of extra things." Sun Xiao patted his bag loudly.
"Thank you very much, sir." Cao Ya smiled and said, "May I know your name, sir?"
"My name is Sun Xiaowu." The fifth brother scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
"Brother Sun." Cao Ya called sweetly.
Shen Zhaozhao looked coldly at Sun Wu's pale face which was faintly filled with excitement, then looked at Cao Ya who was smiling like a fox, and sighed softly.
Poor Fifth Brother.
He knows a little about Cao Ya...
Don't turn around and let others eat you up and sell you away, and then help them count the money.
Sun Wu knew everything. Along the way, he had a great conversation with Cao Ya, talking and laughing, asking and answering questions.
All that was missing was to tell Cao Ya how much he was worth and how many chickens and ducks he had.
Shen Zhaozhao had listened to the rest of the story for a long time. Looking at his fifth brother's grinning face, he simply bent down, got out of the carriage, and sat side by side with his fourth brother to enjoy the cool breeze.
"We're almost there," Guan Le found the stream where Zhan Dongfeng was found, and according to the approximate direction that Shen Zhaozhao had asked Zhan Dongfeng, he came to the foot of the mountain.
The Mobei Mountains are similar to those in the south, with sparse vegetation, and the entire mountain is bare rock.
There is no straight road ahead.
Shen Zhaozhao jumped out of the carriage first and shouted towards the carriage:
"arrive!"
"Fifth brother, find the way!"
