Therefore, on the afternoon of the same day, many soldiers were willing to take a break and go home.

With someone taking the lead, the others also started to move and all expressed their intentions to take a leave of absence.

After a while, more than half of the soldiers had left.

It was unknown who came up with this method. The young maiden of the Su Clan thought of it. When they were not preparing dinner, there would be a lot of inquisitive heads in the kitchen.

The surrounding soldiers were whispering that not only did this little girl have a handsome life, her ways of doing things were also top-notch. It was just a pity that she was a widow.

However, even if she was a widow, her exquisite and graceful figure still made the little brat's heart stir.

On the other side, Su Zhi was busy preparing the plucked pheasant and preparing to cook it.

The leftover lamb chowder was made into a mixed soup pot. There were some potatoes inside, and when the soup was ready, he would put some ferns in the wok, along with a plate of fried pork liver and fried fat sausages.

Dinner was still delicious.

The soldier even teased Su Zhi saying that he was reluctant to go home because of her cooking skills.

In this regard, Su Zhi could only smile shyly, her heart beaming with joy.

On the moon, the branches of the willow trees swayed in the middle of the night.

Taking advantage of the time when the two children were sleeping soundly, just as Su Zhi was about to go out, she was blocked by a small soldier who came to lead her.

"Young lady Su, our general invites you."

Su Zhi regretted that she could not go out!

It was already curfew time, what reason did Xiao Qian have to look for her?

"Does your general have a plan?"

"Not really, but I must have something to discuss with you."

Su Zhi had to change directions and go to the main tent.

Aside from the torches, the rest of the camp was completely dark. The soldiers had had enough to eat and drink, so they didn't have any ways to entertain themselves. They could only rest and recharge their energy.

"General, Madame Su has arrived."

"Come in."

With the permission given, Su Zhi opened up the tent and walked in. She saw that there were still a few books in front of Xiao Qian and knew that she had entered. She didn't even raise her head as she went straight to the point.

"You said that you could take care of all of this. I was willing to give you the chance, but I won't take it away with me. Do you have any objections if you want to deal with it here?"

Logically speaking, it would not be good for a man to be alone in a room with a woman. However, when Su Zhi saw that he was acting like a righteous man, there were no distracting thoughts in his clear and bright eyes.

No matter what, she was still a widow, so even if she took advantage of the situation, it would still be up to her.

On the other hand, this man had been through the battlefield for a long time, yet he still had such a beautiful pair of eyes.

"No problem, since the general asked for it, I will do my best."

Xiao Qian nodded and asked her to sit down. He handed over the account book in his hand and started flipping through the other one.

The two of them were speechless but did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Su Zhi found it somewhat funny. She wondered if this young general had ever been married before, and which young lady had such good fortune.

In the dead of night, Su Zhi had been doing manual labor all day. She was already tired, and after flipping through two pages, she was tired and kept yawning.

Xiao Gan said, "You're tired."

Su Zhi opened her mouth halfway and shook her head. "It's fine. I can still hold on for a little longer."

"Go back and rest first. Come back tomorrow when you're free."

Su Zhi did not refuse and returned the account book.

When the general found her, Su Zhi had originally planned to go to the back of the army camp and bathe in the mountains.

Today, he overheard a soldier say that there was a hot spring in the back mountain. The water was still flowing and a little far away, but the water quality was really good, so the temperature was also suitable.

Su Zhi was a little squeamish about cleanliness. After burning the entire day's worth of food, she always felt that her entire body was reeking of oil and smoke. She could not sleep soundly, so she planned to sneak out.

She found the back door and went out. She told the soldier that it would be convenient, and he let her be.

Su Zhi walked outside for a long time, and the fire piston in her hand was quickly burnt to ashes.

The place was dark, and it was a wilderness. He could not help but feel a little scared.

Without the light from the fire, her movement became slower. She stumbled all the way to the hot spring mentioned by the soldier.

On the other side, Dou Zi, who had woken up in the middle of the night, used to touching her body. She didn't feel anything familiar.

The little bun rubbed his sleepy eyes. He used the kerosene lamp that was about to burn out to look at the bed, but he couldn't find his mother. He held his mouth and was about to cry.

"Mother!"

No one answered her. She got up from the couch and looked around. The cold wind blew through the tent and extinguished the oil lamp.

In the darkness, the wronged little bun stared blankly for two seconds. Then, he took in a deep breath and burst into tears.

"Mother, wuwaa ~ ~ ~"

A Jin was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the sound of someone crying. She quickly got up and comforted her little sister, "Big brother is here. I won't cry."

When he hugged the small bean bag to comfort her, he realized that Su Zhi was not on the bed. Looking around in panic, he did not see anyone familiar. The first thing he did was fear.

Having just lost his father, the young child had yet to regain his strength. Without his mother by his side, an indescribable worry and fear filled his heart.

The little bean bun refused to obey and continued to cry non-stop. The loud sound of her crying seemed especially abrupt in the silent night.
