meet again

Chapter 283
barracks.

On the school martial arts field, [-] soldiers lined up neatly to accept the inspection before leaving.

General He glanced at him, feeling quite satisfied.

General He's words were concise and there was no long-winded nonsense. After a few words, he raised his voice and ordered the army to set off.

The soldiers mounted their horses and rode out of the barracks one by one.On the official road, they lined up in four rows.The speed is not fast, and the dull sound of horseshoes gathers together, like thunder.The ground kept shaking.

As the deputy general of the army, Shen You was not with the main general, General He, but was sent to be responsible for the delivery of food and supplies.In other words, he waited until all the [-] troops left the barracks before he set off on horseback.

The army set off, and the marching speed was slower than expected.It is even slower to transport food, grass and luggage.

No matter how handsome the horse is, it cannot gallop. Shen You reined in and walked unhurriedly in the team.

Such a march was not impassioned, and it was indeed different from what he had imagined.

After half a day's journey, the messenger rode over and shouted: "General He's order, everyone dismounts and rests where they are. We will leave in half an hour."

With an order, all the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and dismounted one after another.Familiar faces gathered together and spoke in twos and threes.Lunch is also very simple, two dry biscuits per person, just cold water in the water bag.

Even General He ate the same.

The trees beside the official road were shady, and most of the soldiers sat under the trees to enjoy the shade for a while.

Shen You sat alone under the tree, silently eating rough dry biscuits and drinking cold water.

Sure enough, you have to go through honing to know the pain of marching and leading the army.In the barracks for the previous two days, he ate and lived with the soldiers.It was also the first time he knew that the food of ordinary soldiers was so simple.

I used to work as a personal guard in Yan Wang's mansion, and there was meat almost every meal, and the steamed buns were all made of high-quality white flour.

The dry biscuits in my mouth are dry, tasteless, and hard to chew.

After half an hour's rest, the army set off again.This time, they marched until dark before settling down to rest.Ordinary soldiers, five people in one tent.

As a lieutenant general, Shen You can live alone in a tent.

Dinner was a little better, except for two dry biscuits and a bowl of hot soup.There was even a piece of meat in the soup.

Travel for a day.Everyone was tired and soon snored.

Shen You didn't feel sleepy, and groped for a purse from his bosom.The purse was dark green, with two dying mandarin ducks embroidered on it.

This purse was a token of love given to her by Shaojun's cousin two years ago.

He rubbed it frequently, and the embroidery threads on the purse had faded a lot.

Holding the purse at this moment, the sly and beautiful face of Cousin Shaojun came to mind...

My heart felt like it was being burned by flames, scorching hot.

Now he can quite understand what Shen Jia said that day.After marrying a daughter-in-law, the nights alone are even more difficult...

Is she asleep now?Ever toss and turn like him?

Shen You turned over, turned over again, tossed and turned like a pancake for a long time before he barely fell asleep.

……

same night.

Feng Shaojun lay on the bed, silently staring at the bright moon outside the window.

This is the fourth night that Shen You has been away.I was in the barracks for the past three days, and the army set off this morning, so it's time to camp and rest now!
Is he asleep now?

Did you miss her?
Feng Shaojun sighed silently and turned over.

Human habits are terrible.After only a few days of marriage, she was already used to sleeping with him.In the past few days of parting, she was not used to it, tossing and turning every night.

Thinking about the past, she was alone, no matter where she was, she could fall asleep quickly.

It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal.This is not true at all.

He stayed in a daze until midnight before slowly falling asleep.

Open your eyes again, it's already dawn.

"Miss finally woke up." Ji Xiang's familiar pretty face appeared in front of his eyes: "This servant will help Miss change her clothes and freshen up."

Feng Shaojun hummed, got up and went to bed.

Marrying as a woman is different from when she was not out of the cabinet.In Cui's house before, no one cared about sleeping until noon.Now that I am in the Shen family, I can't be so lazy and willful.

Da Feng's temperament is kind and honest, and he doesn't need his daughter-in-law to stand around all day long.However, as a junior, it is indispensable to get up early and greet you.

After tidying up, Feng Shaojun went to the inner hall to greet Mrs. Feng.

Lei Xiaoxue came first, while Tong took the child a little later.The three sisters-in-law talked and laughed, and entered the inner hall.

Da Feng's complexion is a little gloomy today, and there are bloodshot eyes.

It can be seen that I didn't sleep well last night.

"Silang set off with the army yesterday." Da Feng sighed, "For some reason, I just can't sleep with my eyes closed."

The mother is worried when the son travels thousands of miles.For Mr. Feng, the nephew raised since childhood is the same as his son.It was fine for Shen You to stay in the barracks, but this time she set off with the army, her heart seemed to be floating in mid-air, up and down, and she didn't sleep well all night.

Feng Shaojun saw it in his eyes, his heart was slightly hot, and he said softly: "Auntie, don't worry, Cousin You didn't go to Jizhou alone. There are [-] elite soldiers by his side, and the brave General He is the leader. He follows General He , will be safe and sound."

Da Feng sighed with a smile: "I understand what you said. However, I can't help but worry."

"It's not the same as working as usual. When you go to Jizhou, you have to lead the army. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and white knives go in and red knives come out. Shiro is very skilled, but in case there is an accident or something... "

No, the more I think about it, the more I get scared, what should I do!
Da Feng's anxiety is by no means feigned.

Feng Shaojun was a little funny, but more moved.

Shen You led the troops to fight, but there was no response from his mother Jiang's side.On the other hand, Mrs. Feng was worried.Shen You is really lucky to have such an aunt.

Feng Shaojun comforted Mrs. Feng with kind words, and Mrs. Feng felt at ease.

For the next few days, Da Feng was like this.Talking and laughing one moment, and sighing with sadness the next moment.It's dumbfounding.

Probably because of often comforting Mrs. Feng, the worry in Feng Shaojun's heart quickly dissipated.

Half a month later, Feng Shaojun finally received Shen You's letter from home.

There are a few lines in the letter, which are very concise, and it is Shen You's style at first glance.

Cousin Shaojun, see Xin's well.

The army will arrive in Jizhou tomorrow.This is the first letter I wrote to you, I don't know when the next one will be.

I am doing well in the army, but I am not used to eating.Three meals a day are dry pancakes, and one meal of hot soup a day.If I had known earlier, when I left Beijing that day, I should have brought some dried meat...

Seeing this, Feng Shaojun couldn't help laughing out loud.After laughing, I feel distressed again.

They were all forced to miss the jerky, which shows the hard work of the march.
