Longgang and Xiyang City are far apart. At the current speed, it will probably take four days to get there. After all, not every soldier has a fast horse, and the luggage on their backs also seriously slows down their speed. They have to sleep in the open air along the way, and everyone is treated the same. This is Lin Tian's order, and everyone must follow it.

However, those who can go to the battlefield are warriors. They wrap themselves in blankets and sleep together, whether at the foot of a snow-capped mountain or in a grassland or forest. There is no picky or pretentiousness, and no one thinks they are superior.

Many people took extra care of Shui Ling's Ah Zhu and the nurses. These pretty girls suffered a lot running around with them, but they all showed their strong side, and none of them fell behind. They even took care of many wounded while on their way, which made people feel distressed and respectful.

The seriously injured were already heading towards Xiyang faster than the main force, but those whose injuries were not serious but who had lost their ability to move were carried on stretchers by the soldiers. As they walked, they came to the end of the team and were accompanied by the practitioners.

It was the evening rest time, and the kitchen staff not far away were cooking. Several large pots were set up and started to boil water. Xia Jinghong looked around and saw a young nurse sleeping against the wheel of a carriage. He covered her with a blanket with great care, but woke her up.

"General!"

The young nurse quickly stood up and saluted, but Xia Jinghong waved his hand, indicating that this was not necessary.

"There are still two days before arrival, so be careful not to get sick."

The young nurse nodded quickly, a little shy. Xia Jinghong came to find Xia Xiao. After saying something, he rode away on horseback and headed for the Xia family army in front of the team. He was always with his army. He led them away from the northern border. Although it was difficult to bring them all back, he still had to take good care of the living.

Seeing Xia Jinghong's back going away, the young nurse ran into her team, blushing under the envious gazes of the sisters.

Everyone is a child and a parent. Xia Jinghong sincerely admires that a woman of this age can enter the military camp. But in troubled times, women are worth a bushel of rice, while in prosperous times, women are worth ten thousand taels of gold. He would rather have a more valuable woman than one who is so humble. Perhaps it was also to escape that kind of situation that they bravely joined the military camp, and the army of their country did not let them down.

"What's for dinner tonight?"

Before mealtime, Ah Zhu would eat his dry food and squat beside the big pot, waiting for the meal to be served. At first, the cooks were a little restrained and seemed unable to do anything, but when Ah Zhu joined their team, they dared to talk to him casually.

"I've been eating dry food for two days. Today I'm going to cook bacon and rice together."

When Ah Zhu heard about the bacon, her eyes widened, but she said:

"It will be more delicious with wild vegetables. Shall I go find some?"

"Even if we have to go find them, we will go. Miss, just take a rest."

They were at the foot of the mountain at this time. The forest was steep and there were a lot of things to do. The chefs had things to do for them, so Azhu took the initiative to go and did not forget to bring Xia Xiao along.

"Why do you take me with you when you go to pick wild vegetables?"

"Help me carry the basket. It's so big that I can't carry three of them by myself."

Ah Zhu was very interested because she knew which wild vegetables were edible. But by the time the three baskets were full, it was already dark.

Under the lanterns, several large pots of salty porridge were bubbling with heat, and the aroma was wafting everywhere. People in other places had already started eating, but they were slow to eat. However, it was delicious when added with wild vegetables.

Ah Zhu looked at the pot and didn't let anyone get close. Some practitioners who had established good relations with Xia Xiao in the past few days came forward with bowls to have dinner early. But Ah Zhu spread her arms and chattered non-stop like an old hen protecting her chicks. The noble practitioners in the eyes of others were all the same in front of Ah Zhu.

"Wait a while before eating. The wild vegetables will taste better when they are cooked."

"I don't care if it tastes good or not, I'm starving."

"No, no, wait a few more minutes."

These practitioners could only ask Xia Xiao for help, but the latter shrugged and just smiled at Ah Zhu. How could he be more stubborn than Ah Zhu in front of food? Even if he wanted to eat now, Ah Zhu would fight him, so let's wait together! Seeing that most of the practitioners were complaining, Xia Xiao wanted to say a few words, but stuttered.

Many young nurses were envious of this harmonious scene. Ah Zhu really lived the life that all girls dreamed of. She was pretty, with long chestnut hair that was very eye-catching, and a good figure. There was someone who doted on her and even tolerated her noise. The most important thing was that she had strong enough strength and a respectable identity. She was really a living princess, and people dreamed of becoming that kind of person, carefree and without any worries.

The long wait made everyone chew on the dry food with the aroma. When Ah Zhu said that the meal was ready, everyone lined up in four teams and couldn't wait to get their own bowl of porridge. With food, Ah Zhu stopped making noises and walked to the side with Xia Xiao holding the bowls and slurped the food. The smell of bacon permeated the porridge. Drinking a mouthful and eating a mouthful of dry food, even if the dry biscuits were tasteless, they tasted delicious.

"Isn't it more delicious this way?"

Xia Xiao nodded, looking at Ah Zhu who was concentrating on eating, and put the worries in his heart aside.

A girl who can be fed with three meals a day is really easy to feed. Reaching into the backpack, Xia Xiao wanted to touch a dry biscuit, but he only felt the crumbs. He sighed helplessly. Half of the backpack's dry biscuits were eaten by Ah Zhu as snacks. Moreover, it was only two days, and he didn't know how to spend the remaining two days.

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay, go to bed after eating."

Xia Xiao had a hard time speaking, but Ah Zhu didn't notice, he just nodded and chewed happily. Seeing her so happy, Xia Xiao didn't want to say more, but he clenched his fist and knocked on the back of her head.

"what?"

Ah Zhu frowned and looked like she was about to get angry. She hated it when others touched her while she was eating. But Xia Xiao didn't indulge her and knocked again.

"I just want to hit you!"

Ah Zhu snorted, holding his bowl and dry biscuits, moved a few times, and ate with his back to Xia Xiao. The latter watched, and after eating, he pulled the blanket and looked around. Although they had left Longgang for two days and the Nanshang army could not catch up, he still subconsciously looked at his position, so that even if he woke up, he could react quickly.

Xia Xiao has been in the academy for a long time, and he still remains the same after he came out. These behaviors are deeply engraved in his bones. There are mountains on one side and plains on the other side. Even if there is danger, he will not be surrounded.

Looking at the stars in the night sky, Azhu leaned close to Xia Xiao without him noticing.

"I'm sleepy, go to sleep."

The warmth in his arms made Xia Xiao neither smile nor push it away under the starlight. He just accepted everything silently, but he also felt vaguely that something big was going to happen. When he fell asleep, Xia Xiao dreamed of endless wars. When he woke up, he still thought of fighting. However, the former was imagination and the latter was reality. Even if the two were intertwined, they did not confuse Xia Xiao, who was extremely sober.

It seemed like a long time since I woke up from my sleep, but the unknown smell in the air was so strange that Xia Xiao suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Pack your things and set off!"

Ah Zhu was startled awake, and seeing Xia Xiao walking west beside him, he asked:

"What's wrong?"

"Enemy attack."

Xia Xiao said it very easily, as if he had been waiting for it, and as if he had expected it. But Ah Zhu rolled up the blanket casually, stuffed it into his backpack, and handed it to Qi Ling.

With her slender figure and the wind, Ah Zhu took long steps, becoming the one going against the flow among many nurses and wounded soldiers. When she caught up with Xia Xiao and stood beside him, her unique sense of responsibility made her face stern, and she followed Xia Xiao to the west, and looked in the direction of his gaze, as if she had seen the enemy.

There are many practitioners who are faster than Ah Zhu, and some who are slower than her. However, no matter how harmonious their relationship is, it is difficult for them to integrate into this duo at this time. Xia Xiao's mind instantly extended to several kilometers away through the ground and the green grass under his feet. He clearly felt the veins of the grassland and the number of people on it.

"You guys go back, Ah Zhu and I are here."

Abandoning companions is not the style of the Daxia people, but Xia Xiao's quiet look made them helpless and they had no choice but to leave. There was no battlefield for them here, and Xia Xiao's words were more like an order that had to be executed!
