C61 General Back to Camp

Ever since Ding Xiaofeng had visited Bai Xian's camp, his interest towards Bai Xian had grown even more. To think that such a little girl could cook such delicious food, and why did she need to wear a human skin mask to hide her true appearance, the most important thing was why Bai Xian was so similar to him.

If not for the fact that he was certain that his own father and mother had loved each other for many years and never had any grudges, Ding Xiaofeng would have suspected that Bai Xian was the child his father left behind outside.

Although Bai Xian had never learnt kung fu before, she was very sensitive. For the past few days, she felt that someone was secretly watching her, she was in the middle of messing up her face, the gaze that could make people's hair stand up came back. Bai Xian suddenly turned around, startling Shen Yunqing who was sitting beside her.

Shen Yunqing patted her chest. "Sister Bai Xian, what's wrong?"

Bai Xian looked carefully, and did not detect any suspicious people. "Yun Qing, it's nothing, I just have a feeling that someone is staring at me."

Shen Yunqing laughed: "Sister Bai Xian, don't you know that you are the most popular person in our camp? All the soldiers that have yet to get married are thinking of taking you as their wife."

Bai Xian pinched Shen Yunqing's nose, she knew that although Shen Yunqing's words were exaggerated, he had spoken it with sincerity, "Look at what you are saying, with this little girl's appearance, I do not dare think about it too much."

Shen Yunqing looked at Bai Xian with a slightly embarrassed expression. Bai Xian's current appearance was really normal, but she had a pretty good appearance, with a cute round face and big red eyes, she was worried that Bai Xian would misunderstand her words and anxiously explained: "Sister Bai Xian, I'm not laughing at you. What I said was true, if I were a man, I would also want to marry you."

Seeing Shen Yunqing so anxious that she was about to cry, Bai Xian comforted her and patted her shoulder: "Alright, alright, I understand what you mean. However, even if you are a man, I won't marry you."

Shen Yunqing and Bai Xian joked as they worked. The two of them were as good as sisters, and this was also the first time Bai Xian had experienced this in the modern world. She felt that staying with Shen Yunqing was much more comfortable than staying with those famous clan ladies.

Ma Dahu hurried over, his face was full of excitement: "Did you guys know, the general went back to camp, and heard from them that he had won a great battle?"

Bai Xian was now the head of the kitchen. Upon hearing this, the first thing that came to his mind was whether the ingredients for tonight were sufficient or not: "Big Brother Da Hu, how many people did the general bring back?"

Ma Dahu sighed: Seems like there are only a thousand people left, aiya.

Bai Xian knew that it was a pity for the people who died, but this was the crux of the battle. Everyone only had one life, and since they chose to enter the battlefield, they must have long been prepared to lose their lives at any time.

"Everyone, hurry up and get to work. We need to make a lot of food today."

Fortunately, Bai Xian had already taught a few students how to cook. She was only in charge of cooking right now, so it was much easier.

The kitchen was bustling with noise and excitement. Bai Xiu and a few of his friends went to watch the general return to camp, but he specially ran over to Bai Xian and said, "Sister, sister, the general is so mighty. He looks especially tall, just like brother Song Yue." Bai Xiu suddenly covered his mouth, he seemed to have said the wrong thing.

Bai Xiu was currently busy with work, and couldn't even hear what he was saying clearly, so he half-heartedly sent him out to play. Bai Xiu pulled Nan Bing along as they walked out of the camp, bored to death. As Nan Bing was currently Bai Xiu's little follower, when she saw Bai Xiu's gloomy face, she came over and asked: "Bai Xiu, why are you unhappy?"

Bai Xiu said gloomily, "It's nothing, I just thought of my previous teacher. Seeing how tall the general is today, my teacher is also as tall as the general."

Although Nan Bing had never gone to a school before, the teachers in the school were usually skinny and small. He did not believe Bai Xiu's words, "Is it true or false, your teacher is as tall as a general? The general is tall, taller than many. How can your teacher be so tall? "

Bai Xiu said seriously: "What I said was true." Seeing that Nan Bing didn't believe him at all, he turned around and ran back to his tent to be angry.

After they finished eating, someone asked Bai Xian to place the general's food inside a food box, and then someone came to retrieve it. Shen Yunqing said: "Our general is so mighty, he doesn't eat with the soldiers?"

Bai Xian kept her quiet. After all, they were considered outsiders, and the general had asked them to stay behind, especially the Bai Xian family. Bai Xian was the only one who stayed behind.

Shen Yunqing stuck out his tongue and began to cook.

That night, the angry Bai Xiu did not come to eat dinner. Bai Xian returned to the camp with a few steamed buns and saw Bai’s mother trying to persuade Bai Xiu, who was sitting motionlessly at the side.

Bai Xian rarely saw Bai Xiu's willful look, "Xiao Xiu, why didn't you go for dinner? You fought with your little buddy? "

Bai Xiu shook his head, "No, I don't want to argue with them. They are just children."

Bai Xian laughed. He himself was also a child. "Alright, then what happened?"

Bai Xiu glanced at Bai’s mother, then looked at Bai Xian again as tears rolled down his face: "Today, I saw the general. He was so imposing and tall, I already said he was as tall as Brother Song Yue, but I just didn't believe it."

Bai Xian felt a wave of sadness in his heart, he never thought that Bai Xiu would still be worried about him. Even though Song Yue's life and death was unclear, he was still worried about many people, "Little Xiu, don't cry, you're a boy. You still need to learn martial arts from Brother Cao San in a while, it would be bad if he sees your swollen eyes."

Bai Xiu continued to sob, "Brother Cao San is going to the general's tent to keep watch tonight, so we won't be training tonight."

Bai Xian nodded his head. Although Bai Xiu had not trained in martial arts for a long time, as his closest friends, Bai’s mother and Bai Xian realized that Bai Xiu had changed a lot.

Bai’s mother poured a bowl of water, took out a steamed bun and gave it to Bai Xiu: "Enough, stop crying, quickly eat."

Bai Xiu dried his tears and began to nibble on the steamed bun. "Elder sister, I know, Brother Song Yue is definitely alive, he definitely won't die."

In Bai Xian's heart, wasn't this the wish as well? However, she understood that there were many things that were not based on a person's way of thinking. She wanted Song Yue to live, but she didn't dare force anything: "Why are you so sure?"

Bai Xiu stubbornly said: "Of course I know, because back then, when Big Brother Song Yue promised me, he said that he would live on and even came back to find us."

Bai Xian laughed bitterly. If she was really a sixteen year old girl, she would probably take this promise seriously. However, adding her modern age and the age of the ancient era together, she would not believe such a pale promise.

"Xiao Xiu, we cannot change others, we can only do our best, we can only hope that brother Song Yue and brother Song Cheng can survive, that way we will finally meet again."
