Chapter 644 Beheading Meal?!

dawn. The morning mist once again blanketed the land. If it weren't for the blood staining the courtyard and the house, a stark reminder of last night’s danger, one might think it had all been a night...The village head would stand with his hands behind his back and come to take a look every now and then.

The next day he brought many more reed mats, woven thick and dense, almost as warm as a cotton quilt.

This way, when it's attached to the greenhouse edge, open during the day for crops to bask in the sun, cover it at night to keep warm and prevent snow from falling.

Jia Yin enthusiastically flattered him, saying that when winter came, she would plant vegetables and make a hot pot for the old man to drink with.

The village head chuckled, coaxed into laughter. There wasn't a wisp of smoke in the teapot, yet he savored it, taking slow puffs for a long while.

This reminded JiaYin that she planted two rows of flue-cured tobacco in the evening, planning to give them to her grandmother and elderly men in the village for the New Year.

The greenhouse was finally built, and Li Zhensheng also came back to pick up his children. They were ready to depart.

The Jia Ren brothers spent two days in the mountains practicing with their crossbows. They may not have become master archers yet, but at least they were now proficient in handling them.

As for the handbook of martial arts safety, several brothers had it memorized by heart...

Li Laotai, accompanied by her two daughters-in-law, prepared luggage for the children.

Change clothes, shoes and socks, some everyday necessities, medicine for treating colds, diarrhea, etc.

Of course, the most abundant thing is food.

Snacks, cookies, meat floss, fried noodles, dried noodles and meat sauce...

In short, they thought of everything they could.

For fear that the children might eat hard work on the road, or have an empty stomach.

Li Zhensheng wanted to give his son and nephew a taste of hardship, intending to have them take on the duties of sailors on the way and experience life's difficulties firsthand.

But this isn't something to tell his mother, he was afraid she'd nag him until his ears grew callouses.

Jiayin also remembers, they are all her precious brothers, if any of them have a problem, she can't accept it!

But they can't stop their brothers from seeing the world outside, so they can only silently bless them...

That evening, the whole family had another reunion dinner, and even the Marquis heard the news and rushed back.

At the break of dawn, in the cold morning light, the whole family sent Li Zhensheng and his sons to the dock by carriage.

Just so, Lao Si Li and the Marquis were also returning to the camp, so they set off together.

After hurrying and rushing, they arrived at the dock at noon.

On the side of Lu'an Academy, Mr. Peng and another gentleman, leading twenty-two students, arrived shortly after the Li family.

Mr. Peng didn't need to go originally, but his new wife and concubine were quarreling at home. He also had in-laws with the Li family, and the academy hoped that the Li family would provide more support along the way, so they invited him out.

Another gentleman surnamed Qian was a pedantic and strict person, so he was in charge of disciplining the students on the road.

And the twenty students were pre-arranged, and these two extra ones were Jia Xu and Lu Cong.

As soon as the crowd in the academy saw Li Jiaren, they were very courteous and greeted him with respect.

Li Laotai also asked the two gentlemen to take good care of her son after arriving in Quanzhou. Then she had people move two baskets of fruit onto the academy's passenger ship for the students to quench their thirst on the road.

Everyone again expressed their gratitude, and finally boarded the ship, only to see the sun setting.

The marquis left Li's family to stay at the dock for a day.

At the entrance of the camp, where those rows of grass shelters once stood, they have now been repaired into thatched houses. Though simpler in appearance, they are very clean and tidy.

On weekdays, relatives often come to visit and stay here.

Grandma Li took Li Yong's hand and immediately agreed.

For no other reason, Li Yong has been here for over a month.

Li Laosi still went back and forth twice, while Li Yong never left his side.

There's no home-cooked food like in a military camp, Li Yong has become much thinner and blacker, which made the old lady feel heartbroken.

Then, Li Lao San went to the nearby county town to buy a lot of groceries.

Jia Yin also quietly took out a lot of things from the space, such as fresh vegetables, eggs (both chicken and duck), and even a rabbit that she couldn't bear to part with.

Perhaps it was because of my age, but the rabbits in this space finally stopped giving birth. Their offspring are no longer multiplying out of control.

So this time, there were only five or six that took the initiative to "offer their bodies," but it was enough for a meal.

Lao Tai Li, accompanied by her daughter-in-law and He Mama Shui Ling and others, worked together to prepare a plentiful spread of dishes.

Apart from what the family ate and what Li Yong had for a snack, the rest was sent to the camp.

The lord decided to give half of the reward to the soldiers who were injured during training, and the other half to those who trained exceptionally well.

Of course, some relatives also need to be treated extra well.

For example, Jia Dun, exhausted from the day, panting like a dog.

He had just returned to his tent when he was startled by the small table on his bed.

Because the small table was piled with two small clay pots, one filled with browned meatballs and the other with white rice topped with half a golden egg custard.

His eyes turned red, and he swallowed nervously, but he didn't dare take a step forward.

The veteran in charge of the whole tent, seeing him like this, said: "What are you doing stupid It's all yours, eat it quickly, be careful that those boys come back and grab it all."

“Wah wah, Captain! I was the first to complete my training today, you know! Even without a reward, you don't have to chop off my head! This feast must be a death meal!” Jia Dun cried, his face contorted in despair, which caused the captain to raise his hand and give him a pat.

"What are you thinking about You haven't done anything wrong, why would I chop off your head This was sent over from the main tent just now!"

The team leader's face was full of envy as he continued, "I heard it's the Li family from Suijin Beach who came. They've prepared a lot of food outside. This portion is specifically sent by the old madam herself. I also asked her about it, saying that your grandmother and Madam Li are friends!"

Lady Li

Jia Dun immediately understood. Earlier, at the end of the month, he had contacted his family, and they had sent him thick coats and trousers. They also asked the Li family to take care of him.

But General Li was still as strict as ever, never showing him any leniency. He had given up hope and cursed him countless times behind his back.

To my surprise, this "arrangement" actually came today.

He still wanted to speak, but suddenly footsteps sounded outside the tent.

Needless to say, it was their tentmate who had returned.

He lunged directly to the table, grabbed a handful of meatballs and shoved them into the captain's hand, then tossed half into the rice bowl and started shoveling it in with big bites.

As expected, as soon as the tent curtain was lifted, a dozen or so soldiers rushed in. Sniffing the aroma and seeing half a basin of meatballs, they couldn't hold back any longer and shouted excitedly as they pounced on them.

In the blink of an eye, the basin was empty.

Someone else wanted to grab Jia Dun's food bowl, but his whirlwind legs forced them back.

Even so, Jia Dun didn't forget to stuff food into his mouth, not even letting a single morsel...

The captain stood at the door, smiling and munching on dumplings, feeling a mixture of emotions.

Who could tell, looking at these young men struggling with the meatballs, that just two months ago they were carefree sons of wealthy families, blissfully unaware of the hardships of life!

As expected, the Marquis is indeed wise. These muddled fools were successfully painted as wallflowers.

Next spring, perhaps everyone will be as skilled at fighting as the barbarians!

Outside the camp, the Marquis, Li Laosi, Li Yong, and even Jiang Cheng all gathered together with the Li family to have a meal.

After dinner, the Lord took a well-prepared rabbit and, while chatting with Lao Tai Li by the bonfire, roasted it for Jia Yin to eat.

A gentle river breeze, carrying a damp chill, was met and offset by the warmth of the bonfire.

Everyone recalled the hardships they faced when they first fled to this place, and a wave of emotion washed over them.

The next day, after breakfast, the Li family took their leave.

Jiayin thought that since she had finally come out, she suggested going to the dim sum shop in town on the way.

These days, she hasn't been able to attend to her business because she's been spending time with her brothers.

Li Lao Tai went home and had nothing to do, so she accompanied her granddaughter for a stroll.

Resulting in, the moment he arrived at the white cloud's interval, Peng shopkeeper walked out with a furrowed brow.

"Master, you're here! I was going to have to go all the way to Broken Gold Beach."

Here are three more chapters ~~ grandfather and grandson were very excited, thinking it was the Northern Expeditionary Army returning.When they got closer, the two realized it was their own carriage.As soon as the car door opened,...
