Chapter 171 Invisible
The dog stood straight and squatted in front of the carriage, looking quite majestic.
It attracted the children playing near the official road to stop and watch, and even the elder who opened his mouth couldn't close it for a long time.
It wasn’t until the carriages were gone that they ran home in a panic.
"Dad, Mom, guess what I saw, I saw a big black dog driving the car..."
——
After noon, Xia Mingyue and his party arrived at a town and had some simple meals.
The meat-filled pancakes and shredded chicken noodles taste average, but they are cheaper and more affordable.
Wu Jin couldn't eat anything too fatty, so Xia Mingyue bought him two white-flour steamed buns. He also found a butcher's shop in the town and bought him a bone to keep for grinding his teeth on the road.
So, while continuing to drive after lunch, Wu Jin hugged the bone and gnawed on it with great interest.
While Su Yongfu was driving, he occasionally caught a glimpse of Wu Jin's movements and the teeth marks on his bones. His scalp felt numb, and even his Tianling Gai felt chills.
In the face of absolute power, it is better for people to hold back.
The carriage moved forward all the way, and when the sun turned west, Xia Mingyue and his party arrived at Xiaohe Village.
When I stopped an old man herding sheep at Zhuangzikou and asked about the location of Lu Qiyan and others, the old man grinned and said, "We are looking for those idiot soldiers. It is not difficult to find them. There are many of them. There are many, just those ones at the north end of the village. They are staying here, but I guess they are all busy at the river in the north.”
“Thank you, old man.” A fool? ”
Xia Mingyue didn't think that the soldiers brought out by Lu Qiyan would do anything stupid.
"The river in the north of our village is called Yongfeng River. The previous bridge was also called Yongfeng Bridge. It was destroyed in the previous war. Now the people from the group of soldiers are here to repair it."
The old man said, "There is no problem in repairing the bridge here, but in this winter, it will freeze at night. If we don't wait until next spring to repair it, what will we repair now?"
< br>"This is just a repair. Here comes a bunch of rough guys who don't know anything. They don't know whether to chop wood or split stones. What are they not fools?"
Xia Mingyue heard this. , pursed his lips.
Although she didn't understand the official positions and work procedures here, according to common sense, when building bridges and roads, there should be certain technical personnel to guide them. There should not be continuous logging and mining as the old man said. Shidu didn't know what to choose.
It seems that Lu Qiyan is also in trouble.
Xia Mingyue blessed the old man again, "What I said is right, thank you very much, old man."
"You're welcome, little lady." The old man chuckled, picked up the whip and continued to drive away The flock of sheep goes to the place where there are still weeds.
Xia Mingyue and Lu got on the carriage. Su Yongfu drove the carriage and walked north through the village as the old man said.
When we arrived at the northern edge of the village, we saw people in military uniforms busy in several courtyards. There were also many clothes worn by military personnel hanging to dry in the courtyards.
There were usually no outsiders in Xiaohe Village. When the soldiers saw such a carriage approaching, they all looked sideways. A young soldier ran over quickly and stopped the carriage with his hand, "What are you doing?"< br>
"Excuse me, where is Lu Qiyan's headquarter?" Xia Mingyue leaned out of the carriage and asked softly.
“Are you looking for Lu Dutou?” The young soldier looked Xia Mingyue up and down, “Who are you and why are you looking for us, Lu Dutou?”
“I am from Lu Dutou. "Family." Xia Mingyue replied, "My surname is Xia." She is such a young lady...
The young soldier understood immediately, and the seriousness on his face was immediately replaced by a smile, "It turns out that my sister-in-law came to see our leader."
"But our leader is here at the moment. The river is busy, sister-in-law, should you wait here for a while, or should you go find our leader now?" The young soldier smiled, "If we go to find our leader, I will lead my sister-in-law. It's not far from here, that's it. Two miles away.”
“Can you please help me lead the way?”
While it’s still early, I’ll send the things over and meet the people in the evening. Maybe you can even rush to the nearest town to find an inn to stay.
"Okay." The young soldier responded and ran forward without riding in the carriage.
While running, he shouted, "Sister-in-law is here to see our leader..."
The loud voice only attracted the attention of soldiers who were busy cooking and doing logistics in the village. , the soldiers who were still busy by the river, and even the villagers of Xiaohe Village all looked sideways.
Xia Mingyue, who had originally raised the curtain to look at the situation outside, had to lower the curtain to avoid being "attracted" by many people.
Seeing this, Mrs. Lu smiled and touched Xia Mingyue's arm, "Brothers and sisters, you have to get used to it. Otherwise, when Qiyan becomes the commander, what will you do if you are so shy?"< br>
"My sister-in-law is very generous, but she has already huddled in a corner before she reaches the boundary of Xiaohezhuang. Fortunately, our carriage has such a large boundary. If it were a double-decker, I'm afraid my sister-in-law would have to hide in the mezzanine." What's inside?"
Xia Mingyue, who was teased by Lu, was unwilling to be outdone and just teased her.
Lu's face immediately turned red.
After so many years of marriage, Zhao Youcai has also been in the army for so many years. Zhao Youcai always came back from the military camp to visit her. This time, it was the first time that she took the initiative to see Zhao Youcai.
I don’t know what the man in her family looks like in the military camp, who looks stupid at home.
After all, she was the leader of a brigade, with dozens of people in charge. Could it be that she was very face-conscious and felt that her coming would cause some trouble, or that she was a village woman and had lost face in front of the soldiers?
Mr. Lu was a little cranky, so she became more and more timid and just hid in the corner.
This time, teasing Xia Mingyue failed, but instead the words hit her mind. Lu was embarrassed, "Where can I find..."
That's really everywhere.
Xia Mingyue smiled and said nothing, while Wu Jin grinned, sticking out his tongue and barking twice.
With that look, he was obviously joking with Lu.
Su Yongfu looked at Wu Jin's appearance and became very playful, and said seriously, "Wu Jin, don't be so proud. I heard someone say before that people around here like to catch dogs the most. When eating meat, you have to be more careful and don’t show your face all the time.”
Eating dog meat? !
Wu Jin's face was full of shock, and he quickly retracted his tongue, and immediately closed his mouth tightly. After thinking for a moment, he simply stuck his head into the car.
Can’t see the dog, can’t see the dog…
There was a burst of laughter in the carriage.
Here, the young soldier had already arrived at the river in a horse-drawn carriage and found Lu Qiyan who was busy there, "Du Tou, my sister-in-law is here to see you!"
