After rebirth, I win people's hearts by being cute
Chapter 121 Meeting
The cold wind whistled outside. Su Cheng wrapped himself tightly in his cotton-padded clothes and went into the tent. Ermo woke up dazedly and asked, "Brother Cheng, where have you been?"
"It's a bit boring, let's go out for a walk."
A dozen grown men slept in one tent. Some of them didn't like to wash their feet, some snored, and the tent was tightly closed. It was indeed a bit stressful.
"Then go to sleep. We have to get up for training tomorrow."
Ermo muttered something and fell asleep again in a daze.
Su Cheng was sleepless all night and came to ask for leave very early. Now Su Cheng was an official, so he had to ask the general for leave.
"You want to go out shopping?"
"Yeah," Su Cheng said without blushing or beating his heart, but the general didn't quite believe it.
"Who are you to Lord Su who came from the capital?"
Seeing the general's teasing look, Su Cheng lowered his eyes, "It's just the same name."
"Could it be that there are two people in this world who live in the same state, have the same surname, and even have the same eyes?"
Faced with the general's teasing, Su Cheng hummed and said he didn't know.
"Go ahead. I'll give you two days off. You can come back tomorrow, but you have a mission."
Su Cheng looked up, and the general continued, "Send the gentlemen to the government office in the city."
So that's what happened. Su Cheng nodded and walked to the tent where Su Yi and the others were sleeping. "My Lords, the general asked me to see you all off."
Lord Feng didn't want to leave. His mission had not been completed yet. Su Yi looked at him and asked, "Could it be that Lord Feng has other things that he hasn't completed and that's why he doesn't want to leave?"
What could a civilian official do in a military camp? Lord Feng immediately said, "No, no, I just saw the unique scenery in this military camp and wanted to look around."
Su Cheng took over the conversation, "There's nothing interesting to see in this military camp. If you like, you can go to the city to have a look. There are many kinds of things at the border. You can bring some back."
Su Cheng spoke very seriously and did not notice the displeasure on Lord Feng's face.
"That's what you said, then lead the way."
The military camp is in the north of the city. There is a large open space with no buildings, only tents. There is also a door in the north of the city so that the army can go in without disturbing the people, and go out to conduct daily training.
Su Cheng led them through a high wall and came to the main street. They walked for a distance before arriving at the border town government office.
"The adults have arrived. Please come in."
The one who came out to greet them was the prefect of the border town. They went in and were arranged in a side room. Lord Feng was going back in two days, unlike Su Yi who was going to stay for a long time, so the prefect prepared a welcoming banquet for the two of them in the evening.
After Su Cheng sent the group off, he left for the inn. At a stall at the entrance of the inn, he met an enlarged version of Liu Huan, who was much darker. He felt a little scared, a little excited, and a little distressed.
Liu Huan felt a strong gaze and turned around to see a handsome boy staring at him. He was wondering if he was so charming that he could easily charm anyone.
Thinking about it again, those eyes and that face are just an enlarged version of Xiaoshi.
"Xiao Shi, I finally see you."
Liu Huan ran up to hug him, "You've grown so tall now. You were not even as tall as me before."
Su Cheng let her look him up and down, and turned around in place to cooperate. "How about him? Isn't he handsome and extraordinary?"
Liu Huan propped his chin up with his hand and commented seriously, "It's really good, but still not as handsome as Shitou."
Su Cheng rolled his eyes when he heard this, "In your eyes, no one can compare to my second brother."
Liu Huan didn't comment, that's what she thought.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and Liu Huan felt uncomfortable. He pulled him into the inn and said, "Go in first. This city is really cold."
After entering the house and burning charcoal, Liu Huan couldn't move away.
"Xiao Shi, I heard that you came here on your own. You are getting bolder and bolder. You are not obedient at all."
Su Cheng listened to her lecture carefully. Seeing that she said she was tired, he poured her a glass of water and said, "Drink some water first."
"How is it? Are you used to the military camp?"
"It's pretty good. I wasn't used to it at first, but I got used to it later. The only difference is that the winter here is very cold, much colder than Huangshi Town."
Liu Huan agreed, "Yes, especially at night. When the charcoal fire went out, I woke up from the cold. It was better for me to sleep with Qiu Rong."
Su Cheng then asked, "Why did you become so dark? You used to be the whitest person in our village."
Liu Huanxiao said mysteriously, "Stupid, I am painting. Otherwise, a beautiful woman like me, who is so stunning that she can make fishes sink to the bottom of water, geese drop to the ground, and the moon hide in shame, would be like a lamb walking into a tiger's mouth."
Su Cheng: "You are talking nonsense again."
"How long will you stay before you leave?"
"When will you guys stop fighting?"
Su Cheng thought for a long time but still had no idea. "I don't know. Those nomads are so annoying. They come to provoke us every year. Even the people in the nearby villages always suffer. They never abide by the agreement."
Based on her observations over the past few days, Liu Huan roughly knew the reason.
This border is all grassland. The only mountains that can be seen are those of our own country. Most of the mountains on the other side are small hills and shrubs.
Nomads make a living by raising cattle and sheep. Due to climate reasons, they grow very few crops, and the grassland becomes dry and yellow in winter and cannot be used to feed cattle and sheep.
That's why they had to rely on war to expand their territory and gain opportunities for their people. In fact, everyone's starting point was right.
"Oh, I hope it will end soon."
"It will be over soon. You and second brother should go back soon. Swords and knives are blind, and this border town will always be in chaos."
"Well, if Shitou leaves, I'll leave too. I forgot to tell you that my brother-in-law and sister are also in Beijing. They miss you a lot."
"Don't worry, I'm fine. I can beat ten of them by myself."
Su Cheng gradually found the feeling of getting along with Liu Huan and started to brag a lot, not noticing that the door was open.
"Cough cough..."
Liu Huan coughed a few times, and Su Cheng thought she was choked, so he walked over to rub her back, "Are you okay? How come you are still like when you were a kid, choking even when drinking water?"
Liu Huan whispered, "The stone is coming."
Su Cheng raised his hand guiltily, "Second brother."
Su Yi took his eyes off his hand and sat down to drink tea, while Su Cheng just stood there obediently.
Liu Huan tugged at his robe and said, "Sit down. Why are you afraid of him? You are useless."
Su Yi raised his eyes to look at him, "You want me to treat you?"
Su Cheng sat down and obediently poured tea for the two of them. "Okay, I really like being in the military camp. Don't worry about me. I will go back after the war is over."
"Brother Gouzi from our village is here too, but he injured his leg. He is now in the kitchen and doesn't need to go to the battlefield."
Liu Huan patted Su Yi on the shoulder and said, "Alright, why are you so stern? Didn't you come here because you were worried about me? Now you're here but you're not saying anything and scaring me."
Su Yi's expression eased a little, "Be more careful in everything."
After finally saying something comforting, Su Cheng nodded happily, "Yeah, I know, second brother."
