With his hands behind his back, Gong Yao paced back and forth in the tent, and said angrily: "Continue to attack, I don't believe it, my 45,000 people can't crush a mere 4,000 people.
They must have captured Chu Yunyao and Mo Chengyue alive. "
The sky was bright, and the dark Gong family army continued to charge up the mountain, and the charge horn sounded again.
Chu Yunyao was woken up, and opened her eyes, only to see that Xiu'er was staring at herself without blinking, with a pair of crystal black eyes.
A child's eyes are like twinkling stars and clear lakes.
"Xiu'er, are you awake?" Chu Yunyao smiled at Xiu'er, and habitually reached out to rub his little head.
Xiu'er sat up cross-legged, "Mother, your voice is hoarse."
"It's okay, just take some medicine." Chu Yunyao lifted the quilt and got up, "You stay in the tent, and I'll call Aunt Bao'er to come and take care of you."
Xiu'er grabbed Chu Yunyao's clothes: "Mother, I want to be with you."
Chu Yunyao lowered her eyes and thought about it. She wanted to refuse, but seeing Xiu'er's expectant eyes, she squatted down and looked at Xiu'er at the same level: "Xiu'er, mother is going to fight, do you know?"
"I know." Xiu'er's voice was crisp but determined, "Uncle is also fighting and is often injured."
Chu Yunyao: "..."
The war was too cruel, Chu Yunyao didn't want her children to be exposed to these tragic situations prematurely.
Xiu'er said again: "Uncle said, the war is for everyone to live a peaceful and happy life in the future, mother, let me follow you."
Chu Yunyao picked up Xiu'er: "Okay, then stay with Mother."
The fresh scent of broth came in from outside, and when Chu Yunyao walked out of the tent, she saw Bao'er set up a pot between two stones, lit dead branches, and was cooking soup.
Seeing Chu Yunyao and Xiu'er came out of the tent, Bao'er quickly scooped up two bowls of soup: "Miss, young master, come over to drink pheasant soup, this is what Yun Si caught before dawn, and there are three small wild eggs , has already been cooked, put it in the pocket of the young master, and eat it as a snack when you are hungry."
There are wild vegetables and mushrooms in the pot, probably Bao'er picked them after searching for them all night in the mountains.
Chu Yunyao put down Xiu'er, picked up the bowl, drank a few sips, and praised: "It's really delicious."
Bao'er pursed her lips and smiled, with bitterness hidden in her smile.
I have been with Miss for so long, and I have never seen her live a smooth life for a few days. She healed the sick and saved people, opened porridge sheds, helped vagrants and beggars, and sent homeless children to study and practice calligraphy.
Although he had killed people and set them on fire, he had never taken the initiative to do anything bad. Why did he end up in such a situation, surrounded by the Gong family army on Yunxiao Mountain, unable to advance or retreat?
This world is so unfair.
Chu Yunyao picked out the chicken in the bowl and put it into Xiu'er's bowl: "Eat more."
Xiu'er sat on the stone, sipped the soup quickly without making a sound, and returned the meat that Chu Yunyao had put into the bowl to Chu Yunyao: "Xiu'er is full, mother Eat more, dear."
He patted the three wild eggs in his pocket, "Keep this one, I will eat it for my mother when she is hungry."
Chu Yunyao: "..."
Chu Yunyao was so moved that she almost cried.
She hurriedly drank the soup in the bowl, blinked her misty eyes, and smiled at Xiu'er: "Xiu'er is so kind to mother."
Putting down the bowls and chopsticks, Chu Yunyao led Xiu'er to the front of the balance pole, and Yun Dazheng was directing the Mohist army to move a huge stone to one end of the balance pole that had been prepared...
