Abandoned Husband to Farm the Farm

Chapter 5

The kitchen of the Chinese army camp in Yanxi City.

"Stop! Which battalion are you from? Why are you looking around here?" After the lunch was distributed, Qi Cheng, the centurion of the Chinese army's kitchen, had just stepped out of the camp gate of the kitchen, when he saw two soldiers looking over their heads, and shouted. One sound.Those two people were startled, they hurried forward to meet them, handed over two jugs of wine with a smile, and said, "Lord Qi, we have nothing else to do, we just want to see Wang Zhu, please let him come out for a while."

Qi Cheng frowned, and said to himself: This is the sixth time that Wang Zhu has been here within ten days. Although the army can't help it, but here I will not tolerate this matter!

Looking at the two of them, he said expressionlessly, "Wang Zhu is chopping firewood, so he can't come out! Go back. Don't come here again."

Just as the two soldiers were about to plead, Qi Cheng closed the fence and went back as soon as he turned around.The two said angrily: "Old old man!" But they had no choice but to discuss while walking back.

Mu Xiaolu was not chopping firewood at this time, because Lao Chai had chopped all the firewood for the day in the morning.Standing next to the huge firewood pile and looking into the distance, except for the camp tent that can't be seen at a glance, under the cloudy gray sky, the closest thing is only a mountain range, and the camp is not far from the foot of the mountain.I heard that there is a river, but I have never seen it.

Although he listened to the sound of horns inside and outside the camp and the neighing of war horses every day, it seemed that it had nothing to do with him. He only saw grain, rice and cooking smoke going in and out of the kitchen every day, and Mu Xiaolu was a little depressed.

Just as he was about to go back to the tent, he saw his boss approaching and hurriedly saluted.Qi Cheng looked at Mu Xiaolu, frowned and ordered: "If someone is looking for you, don't go out!"

Mu Xiaolu immediately understood that it was that kind of thing again, and quickly replied respectfully: "Yes, my lord!"

Qi Cheng saw that although Mu Xiaolu had an outstanding appearance, he didn't show any coquettishness, and his demeanor was considered steady, so he smiled a little, and said, "I'll get your cotton padded clothes later. It's cold these days, I've wronged you."

Mu Xiaolu bent down and said, "I'm not wronged, my subordinates thank you for your concern."

Qi Cheng nodded in relief, and went.

After staying in the rear army kitchen for these days, listening carefully to the conversations of the veterans, Mu Xiaolu finally got a general understanding of the situation here.

Yanxi City is a mobile garrison city, similar to a field camp, except that it is surrounded by a wall, and all inside are military tents set up according to the field camp.

General Wang Hui's subordinates were further divided into the left, middle and right armies, while Mu Xiaolu and the others were assigned to the central army's kitchen.Although he knew that the ranks in the army were strict, he only knew it was true when he went into the kitchen and looked at it.

There are two kitchens, one big and one small. The big kitchen cooks meals for the army and lower-ranking officers, and the small kitchen cooks meals for senior generals.Mu Xiaolu, who loves meat and dislikes, looks at those oily and fragrant vegetables and meat, and his saliva is about to flow down, but there is no way, who makes himself a low-level soldier?Or eat a big pot of boiled cabbage.

Today is the tenth day of October, and it has been 36 days since he came to this world. The many days of illness and exhaustion on the way are finally over, and he can take a short rest.Although I was still very tired and had a lot of work, besides chopping firewood, I also had to wash and mend the military uniform, but I could finally touch the ground with my feet.

The soreness on his body in the morning made him very helpless, his body was so useless.If the original me was driving pigs up the mountain every day, I would miss that body just thinking about it.

The old temporary jacket was very thin, and it was cool to the bone. Fortunately, although the tent was small, it was thick, and the quilt was thick enough for two people to squeeze through.But the most unbearable thing is not being able to take a bath!Except for generals and a few high-ranking officers in the army, even lower-ranking officers do not have the conditions to take a bath.

As a modern person, even when raising pigs, there are solar showers on the mountain. When it is really cold in winter, I go down the mountain and go back to the town to wash.

But many soldiers here don't take a bath for several months, especially in winter, there is no condition at all.So all over - lice!

This cute little insect is a good companion with them, even if they feed some blood to the little ones, it's no big deal.Of course, this is just the soldiers having fun.

Mu Xiaolu wanted to secretly boil some hot water in the kitchen to scrub, but he was afraid of being seen.This is a violation of military regulations. The firewood and water in the northern frontier army are very precious. Anyone who dares to use them indiscriminately will be beaten with a stick.

The barracks here are neat and the laws are very strict. Except for the three-divided area of ​​this group of houses, no one summons other places, and Mu Xiaolu dare not wander around.Therefore, there is no way to see the whole picture of the barracks, but only neat tents that can be seen all the way to a far away place, as well as fat army horses coming and going, and soldiers with neat military appearances.Of course, I didn't have the chance to see the golden face of the general.

Although there are very strict laws and regulations, in this field camp, women are not seen all year round, and these energetic soldiers have nowhere to vent.Mu Xiaolu is so beautiful, how could no one covet her.Fortunately, the centurion Qi became a decent person, and no one dared to mess around in the kitchen.As for the soldiers in the other battalions, Qi Cheng also took precautions, and Lao Chai was protecting them, so the thin and beautiful Mu Xiaolu was saved, so he respected both Qi Cheng and Lao Chai.

In the afternoon, the thick cotton-padded clothes and cotton-padded shoes were finally sent out.

This is new clothes.It was unimaginable for Mu Xiaolu to wear these new clothes directly on his sweaty and mud-smelling body that hadn't been washed for almost a month.Although there is no cleanliness, the danger of getting lice is beating in his head like a drum, and there are only two words in his mind: take a shower!

what to do?This is almost an impossible task!

When he was in trouble, someone approached. Mu Xiaolu saw that it was Guo Xiaowu, the general's personal soldier. He didn't dare to offend him, so he quickly put on a smile: "Little Wu brother, why are you here? Is there something to order?"

Guo Xiaowu looked tired, and replied: "The general is back, and I have to take a bath at night, so you should boil the water quickly." After speaking, he left.

After staying in the army these days, Mu Xiaolu knew that the generals not only had good food, but also a very important thing, that is, the generals and senior generals could take a bath!

And as long as the general is in the army, he will let the kitchen boil hot water every day.Although the soldiers came to help carry it, it is not impossible for the soldiers to go to the bathroom. I have become acquaintances with those soldiers carrying water these days.

"Ding dong!"

Mu Xiaolu couldn't help laughing, why is he so smart?I can secretly wash it with the remaining water!Although it's not very clean, it's better than nothing. The general's big bathtub is the biggest here, and he can swim in it by himself.

good idea!

It's enough to discuss with Guo Xiaowu, at worst, help them pour out the dirty water and clean up the bathroom.

After making up his mind, Mu Xiaolu went to the firewood room to split tomorrow's firewood.Urgently hope that the night will come sooner.It's a bit embarrassing for a big man to look forward to taking a bath with the mentality of looking forward to entering the bridal chamber.

But those who have never tasted the smell of cumin can't understand his urgency to take a bath.

At night, Guo Xiaowu came to urge the water.While helping him carry the water, Mu Xiaolu smiled and said, "Little Fifth Brother, the General hasn't asked for water for several days."

"The battle has been intense recently, and the general just came back for renovations."

"I boiled the water very hot today, I guarantee that the general will wash it comfortably." Mu Xiaolu approached carefully.

"Hehe, you have a heart."

"It's hard for you to wait all day!" Mu Xiaolu sighed.

"That's right, the general is busy with military affairs every day, so we can only follow. Only when the general rests can we rest." Although Guo Xiaowu didn't complain, his tone was tired.

Mu Xiaolu pulled the bucket towards him to let Guo Xiaowu relax, Guo Xiaowu nodded his thanks.

Mu Xiaolu smiled and said, "Little Fifth Brother, do you think this is okay? I'll clean the bathroom for you today, how about pouring out the dirty water?"

Guo Xiaowu replied: "That's kind. I've been riding a horse all day, and my waist is broken. I'm grateful if you can help me. But you also have a lot of work, so I will feel sorry if you help me."

"It's okay. We are not as tired as you and the general. Besides, I want to take a bath with the remaining water. I haven't washed since I came from home. I was sick and sweated all over. Now it's all rotten. "

Guo Xiaowu nodded: "Okay, anyway, it's the water that is going to be poured out, so you can just wash it, and just help me clean the bathroom after washing. But don't say it."

Mu Xiaolu nodded his head and said, "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

Guo Xiaowu looked tired and yawned: "Okay, I'll call you after the general has finished washing."

The two of them lifted it a few more times, and when they had lifted enough, Mu Xiaolu went back.

Hearing the sound of watchmen in the army, he guessed that it was almost midnight, when Guo Xiaowu came to him and said, "Go, the general has finished washing." Then he went back on his own.

Mu Xiaolu laughed so hard he couldn't see his teeth.When Lao Chai came back from the latrine and saw him, he asked him strangely: "What's the good thing? You're so happy?"

Mu Xiaolu whispered, "Brother Chai, I'm going to take a shower in the general's bathroom."

Old Chai was shocked: "Walking around for no reason, and using the general's things, do you want to be beaten? Although I heard that the general is a gentle person, you can't try your best, right?"

Mu Xiaolu has already found out the underwear he brought out from the Hou Mansion, it is very clean and smooth, and feels comfortable to the touch.Hearing what Lao Chai said, he quickly replied: "Brother Chai, what are you thinking, I'm using the leftover water, I've already made an agreement with Guo Xiaowu, I promise no one will know about it."

Old Chai was still very uneasy, and told him: "Come back quickly after washing, don't let others see."

Mu Xiaolu nodded, and went out through the curtain.

The weather in the past two days has been fine, the night is clear, the wind is not very strong, but it is still very cold.Mu Xiaolu was familiar with this road and knew the route of the patrol team, so he easily dodged and walked to the bathroom, fortunately the distance was not too far.

The bathroom door and window were closed tightly, but the door was not plugged in, and it opened with a push.There is a candlestick inside, the torch is burning high, there are several braziers in the ground, the charcoal fire is still burning, and the room is warm.Only generals can light candles and burn charcoal, while Mu Xiaolu and the others can only light an oil bowl lamp and get a few pieces of firewood.

Turning around and plugging in the door, he leaned forward to look at the bathtub, the steam was steaming, and the water inside was still clean, obviously it was the water used to wash his body for the second time.

Great, Mu Xiaolu almost wanted to cheer.

Wash it quickly, don't let people find out.This kind of thing can be one or two, and I don’t know if I can wash it in the future, so I’ll wash it enough before I talk about it.

He took off his clothes at the speed of light, jumped into the water on the steps next to the barrel, his body sank and floated up again, the scalding water made every pore of him shout: cool ~ sitting on the steps in the tub , only half of his head was exposed, and the water almost reached the tip of his nose, so he had to stand up and wash.

The tub seemed too tall for him.But so much water, steaming clear water, is too rare.

Resisting the urge to laugh out loud, Mu Xiaolu splashed water on his body for a while, stood up and swam a bit, with a lot of buoyancy.It is very comfortable to lie on your back and bend your legs on the water.

While playing, I suddenly found a bright red mole on the inside of the bowl in my left hand, which is very beautiful.Why didn't I find out before?

Ever since he found out that the jade pendant is not a portable space, Mu Xiaolu has searched everything on his body, but nothing works, so is this mole?Anyway, it's something on my own body.

try it.

Mu Xiaolu held down the mole and whispered, "Come in!"

well!As usual, no response.After two more tries, I lost interest, so let's take a shower.

Thinking of the big bathtub in his previous life, Mu Xiaolu missed it very much.At that time, I didn't know how happy I was to live in that world. Now even taking a bath with other people's leftover water seems to be a luxury, and I feel that my original life is like a paradise.

well!If I don't save those children... Hurry up and shake your head, how can you think so?But if he didn't die, would he still be raising pigs on the mountain now?As a big pig farmer with a car and a house, there will always be a girl who likes me, and there will always be a family with children, right?I don't know how my parents cried?It's been three years, but fortunately there is an older brother, otherwise the remaining two elders really don't know how to do this well.

Mu Xiaolu thought of his parents, and his originally happy mood became sad.

I also remembered that I have been here for almost a month, and there have been many unlucky things. Not only did I lose money, get sick and get arrested, but now even taking a bath has become a luxury. It's really unlucky.

I don't know how the other traversers managed to make such a fuss.

The damn wheel-running king also said that I would be compensated for doing good deeds, but the result was such a misfortune that the ten acres of land I promised were not fulfilled!If I die here, I will definitely look for you again!Don't lie to me again in your next reincarnation!

Mu Xiaolu recited angrily, not knowing that time had slipped away.

"Bang! Bang bang!"

The clear sound of beating came in, and it was very clear in the quiet night.

Mu Xiaolu woke up suddenly, it's too bad, it's already past midnight, wash up quickly, if someone finds out, it's too bad, and Guo Xiaowu will be implicated.

But God really seemed to be against him. Just when he was about to climb out of the tub after washing, he found out why the steps were so far away from the edge of the tub?With his small body, he can't climb up at all!

Huh?There is such a thing?It seems that only mice who steal rice from rice vats are treated like this, right?Mu Xiaolu, who was covered in black lines, didn't know what to say.For today's plan, I have no choice but to: jump.

But jumping outward is also a laborious task, as if bullying his short and thin body, this huge wooden barrel doesn't care about his face at all, it can reach the edge, but it can't jump out.

Mu Xiaolu felt that he had exhausted all his breastfeeding energy, jumped countless times, splashed water all over the ground, and when his arms were almost exhausted, he finally reached the edge of the bucket.

Oh yeah!

Cheering inwardly, Mu Xiaolu was about to push his legs up with more force, when he heard a "bang" sound from the door and was pushed.

Mu Xiaolu's arm trembled in fright, and fell back into the bucket with a "plop".

At that moment, he didn't have time to think about who came and what kind of punishment he would receive. What he thought was: Is it suffering? Think about the Long March [-]!Tired or not, think about Lei Feng and Dong Cunrui!
