In a temporary tent set up in the center of the barracks, a few soldiers were distributing gruel and cured meat. Jiang Ye saw a long queue from far away. He was not in a hurry. He expected that Wei Lin might fall asleep for a long time. He took the things and waited for him to wake up and then warm it up. After thinking about it, Jiang also stood in the back line honestly.
He has been thinking about what happened in the past two days with his head down. He only felt that he had been too naive, and it was only when he was in it that he realized how cruel it was.
Just thinking about it, someone suddenly patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder. He came out of his thoughts and turned his head to see that it was a somewhat familiar face.
"You, your surname is Jiang, right? You've been with that Wei Lin all the time..." The man's face was dark and there were a lot of bruises - it's not surprising, no one in the barracks has a face Clean, no one's clothes are not tattered. Jiang also narrowed his eyes and looked at the person who came. After thinking for a long time, he did not remember that he had ever had an intersection with such a face. The man was smirking, looked at Jiang without saying a word, and understood the meaning of it, and said a few more words: "Just our team, 30 people, who entered the city together, I am also a recruit..."
He said, scratching the back of his head as if embarrassed.
Jiang also suddenly realized and nodded: "Oh, no wonder I feel familiar."
"Hey, why don't you line up? I've seen you for a long time, and I'm not sure if it is. It happened that you were bored and chatted a little." He said, "Didn't you go with General Xue that day? I'm envious!"
If it was replaced by the previous Jiang Ye, I am afraid that he would not even be too lazy to respond.
He didn't know where the change occurred, but Jiang also thought that such a familiar person was a little cute.
"Yeah, what's there to envy." Jiang also said, smiling, "They are all soldiers under General Xue, and there are many opportunities to fight side by side with General Xue."
"Yes."
"Who did you go with that day, let's see if I know you."
"Two veterans, and one Cao Zhong, the one sitting over there, now, do you know him?"
"Wei Lin know each other, and I have met several times." Jiang also nodded and said.
Hearing him mention Cao Zhong, Jiang Ye's mind flashed the delicate hanging spike again, and asked again, "Did you rob a big family that day?"
"No, it was brought by the veterans. We robbed two civilians, but no one was hurt." He replied, "To be honest, I am also a small peasant. If you want me to kill people who are unable to fight back, I really can't do it. Fortunately, General Xue said, don't hurt anyone, our general is really good!"
The man said with a face full of admiration, and at a glance he knew that he liked Xue Ziqin very much.
Yes, General Xue, it's really amazing. Jiang Ye was in a trance and remembered the long spear that Xue Ziqin threw, and the flag fluttering behind him. Maybe there was dissatisfaction before, but at that moment, Jiang also had to admit that he was also convinced by Xue Ziqin's invincibility.
"General Xue is indeed amazing." Jiang nodded in agreement, and then thought of something, and asked tentatively, "Cao Zhong... used to be the young master of a big family?"
"How can you, Cao Zhong said that his family is farming, you look at his arms and arms, and he looks like a rude man!"
"Yes." Jiang also smiled, "The four of you acted together that night?"
"No, the veteran said that we will do it in groups of two. If we can hurry up, Cao Zhong and I will do it separately with a veteran."
"Is that so..."
During the chat, Jiang Ye and this new friend were already at the front of the line.
"Hey, do you want to? Chat somewhere else!" The cooking soldier shouted impatiently, looking at Jiang Ye's head and looking back.
Jiang also immediately turned his head when he heard it, and reached out to pick up the bowl: "I'm sorry."
A bowl of cured meat and a bowl of porridge were handed to Jiang Ye.
He opened his mouth and said, "Can you give me another copy?"
"Go, go, how much can you carry with both hands?" The cook said fiercely, "Hurry up, the next one."
"I have a friend seriously injured, can I get another copy?"
"Stop beeping, you can arrange it later, the next one, do you want it!"
Jiang also saw the fierce attitude of the other party, but he was not afraid, but felt that there was no need to continue talking. What the cook said was right, he really couldn't get the second share.
Thinking of this, Jiang also nodded to the man behind him as a greeting. Unexpectedly, the other party just happily took the porridge and cured meat, turned around and left.
He stood there alone, a little overwhelmed, and immediately turned around and walked towards Wei Lin's place.
I don't know if it was Xue Ziqin's arrangement or the rules of the military camp. Wei Lin and other soldiers who were seriously injured and temporarily incapacitated were placed in temporary tents. Jia Da Jia Er was afraid that Jiang would not be able to find them, so he specially left Jia Er to wait outside the tent.
Seeing Jiang also come with the porridge, Jia Er hurriedly went up to help: "I'll take it for you, Big Brother Wei is in there."
"Yeah." Jiang also nodded, but he avoided Jia Er's helping hand effortlessly, "It's okay, I'll do it myself."
Jia Er didn't push hard, then turned around and lifted the curtain of the big tent, bent over and walked in.
Wei Lin was lying on the couch, just as Jiang also expected, and fell asleep.
Seeing Jiang also coming, Jia Da nodded and put his finger in front of his lips to make a silent gesture.
Jiang also put the food aside, turned his face to Jia Da Jia Er and said in a low voice, "Hurry up and get some food."
"Hey, good." After saying that, the two of them went out.
In this tent, there are long collapses on both sides, and a fire is burning in the middle, which is convenient.
Wei Lin occupied a couch by himself, and on the other end, there were two people lying on the bed, one had a broken leg, and the other was wrapped in a heavy gauze on his chest.
Jiang also sat down on the edge of the couch, only to feel hungry and tired.
They sneaked into the city last night, and until now, at noon, they haven't had much rest. When he came down this day, he threw up all the food he ate. At this moment, he only brought one serving of food over, and if he went out to get another serving, he would not worry that Wei Lin was here alone.
Or wait for them to come back and get something to eat
Jiang also thought about it, this should be the most appropriate, but he felt that he was too hypocritical, looking at the two people next to him and no one to take care of him, he seemed superfluous.
The porridge was still steaming hot, and Jiang also smelled the fragrance, but felt a colic in his stomach from hunger. Unable to hold on, he picked up the porridge and carefully took a sip of the rice water on the surface of the porridge.
After eating the warm porridge, I felt a lot more comfortable immediately. But when he opened his mouth, his hunger became even stronger. Jiang couldn't hold it any longer. He picked up the cured meat again, tore off a large piece of his thumb, and began to slowly put it into his mouth. He tried his best to eat slowly and chew two more bites, so as to satisfy his cravings and fill him up faster.
After Jiang also ate, resisting the urge to eat more, he just sat on the edge of the couch to rest.
"Well, yeah..." Wei Lin woke up suddenly, and when he looked to the side, Jiang Yezheng lowered his head and closed his eyes.
Jiang also heard the voice and immediately opened his eyes to look at Wei Lin: "Are you awake?"
"Um."
"Why did you wake up?"
"It's a dream." Wei Lin said, trying to turn over, but the wound hurt again, and he twisted and twisted on the couch for a while, a little funny.
"Have a nightmare?"
"Um."
Wei Lin finally turned over and turned to lie on his side. He really didn't dare to fall asleep with his back. The wound was sore, and he kept reminding him that he was slashed. Wei Lin added: "I dreamed that you were dead, and woke up with fright, thinking that no one will collect your body, which is a bit pitiful."
"Now you are going to die." Jiang said without hesitation.
He didn't say anything, just got up and walked out. Wei Lin shouted twice, and Jiang Ye came in again, holding a small iron pot in his hand, walked into the tent and squatted beside the fire, put the small pot on the rack, and then reached out to take the cold pan. Pour in the porridge.
"Are you still angry?" Wei Lin watched his movements, moved to the edge of the couch bit by bit, and looked at his back.
Jiang didn't answer, he picked up the cured meat again, tore it into thin shreds, and threw it into the porridge.
As the porridge gets hotter and hotter, the fragrance slowly fills the tent.
Wei Lin added: "Hey, I really almost died."
"Then why didn't you die?" Jiang also said.
"You want me to die?"
When the porridge was warm, Jiang also folded his sleeves, and when the folds were thick, he grabbed the iron pot with his hands and poured it into a small bowl. He blew on the bowl, stood up and handed it to Wei Lin.
"Wei Lin, if you don't take your life seriously, I won't stop you." Jiang also said, put the porridge next to Wei Lin, and sat down again, as if he didn't intend to pay any more attention to him.
Obviously, Jiang was also angry not because of the joke, but because Wei Lin was seriously injured and continued to be brave.
Wei Lin leaned over and smelled the porridge. He was also really hungry. Now, as long as he eats, he feels very fragrant, but he is lying on his stomach and can't eat at all. Wei Lin poked Jiang Ye's leg with his finger: "Hey me."
"Then don't eat it." Jiang also said.
"I'm hurt and can't eat."
"Then don't eat it, I didn't force you to eat it."
Wei Lin began to laugh again with a sullen face: "Brother Jiang, chivalrous and courageous, won't you help me with this paralysis?"
Jiang also glanced at him.
It wasn't that he didn't want to feed Wei Lin porridge, he had never done such a thing of taking care of others. There's no spoon for this, so how do you feed Wei Lin? After thinking about it, it is best for him to do it himself. Anyway, Jiang Ye has already done everything he can do.
Wei Lin said again, "Then you help me get up, I'll drink it myself, I'll do it."
Jiang was still standing still.
Wei Lin didn't know what to do, and said, "I was wrong, okay? I won't be stubborn anymore! I'm actually in pain, really! The blood is almost draining! Next time, please take care of Jiang Daxia to take care of me, okay?"
Hearing this, Jiang also gave him a contemptuous look, and finally got up to support Wei Lin and let Wei Lin lean on his side.
Jiang Ye and Wei Lin didn't change their armor, they were wearing rotten clothes after being scratched on the battlefield. The soft cloth was in contact with Wei Lin's naked body. Once he leaned on it, he could feel Jiang Ye's body temperature and the beating of his heart.
Jiang also picked up the bowl and handed it to Wei Lin. Wei Lin knew that if he made any more demands, he might be beaten to death, so he obediently took it and drank it in small sips.
It didn't take long for Jia Da Jia Er to come back, Jiang also gave Wei Lin to them, turned around and went out: "I'll go out and get some food."
Jia Er hurriedly said: "Did Brother Jiang eat, no, it was finished just now."
Jia Da also sighed: "I would have brought it back if I knew it earlier, and we will be divided into three points."
Jiang was also a little annoyed, but he didn't know what to do, so he left the big tent with only one sentence, "Then I'll go out for a walk."
Outside the tent, you can see that the military doctor is still looking at the wounded soldiers, but it is not Zhong Yi, it seems that it is the apprentice he brought, and Jiang also can't remember the name for a while. He strolled around the barracks, and his stomach made noises from time to time, which made Jiang feel very irritable.
While walking, someone suddenly stopped Jiang Ye.
"kid!"
Jiang also turned his head to find the source of the sound, and saw Zhong Yi sitting under the tree leaning against the tree, sitting leisurely.
Zhong Yi beckoned to him: "Come here."
Jiang didn't refuse, so he walked over and sat next to Zhong Yi. He opened his mouth and asked, "Your apprentice is so busy, why are you taking a break here?"
"I'll take care of everything myself, so what do I need the apprentice to do?" Zhong Yi said.
It was only then that Jiang realized that Zhong Yi was holding half a bun in his hand, and there seemed to be meat in it, and then his stomach growled unsatisfactorily.
Zhong Yi turned to look at him: "Yo, hungry?"
"… Um."
"Didn't you eat it again? Why didn't you eat it?" Zhong Yi asked.
Jiang didn't speak, as if afraid of Zhong Yi's questioning, he looked elsewhere.
Zhong Yi thought for a while, then handed over half of the bun in his hand: "Here it is, you owe me two hundred taels, remember to pay it back."
If a person is hungry, etiquette, righteousness and shame are all bullshit. Jiang also saw the food delivered to his door, so he took it and ate it without saying a word.
"Eat slowly. Eating fast is easy to get stomach problems." Zhong Yi said with a smile.
