Return of the Mummy

In the army, it is difficult to eat anything delicious, and the bread they eat is dry and unleavened.In addition to the less luxurious fermented bread, there is also that unfermented bread is more portable and hungrier than fermented bread.

Hollenhib swallowed the last bite of bread, took a sip of water, and wiped the corners of his mouth.Looking at Tutankhamun who was almost finished eating, he handed over the water bag: "You are still very used to these foods."

"It's pretty good now. I remember that during my previous expedition, I ate bread made of coarse grains and even bran. That taste, tsk tsk..." Tutankhamun pulled out the plug and muttered Gudu drank a few sips of water, "Now there are more food stores, and the method you proposed reduces waste, and there are sufficient supplies... What else can I complain about?"

"Are you complimenting me? Then I will accept it unceremoniously." Horunhib looked from Tutankhamun's chariot into the distance, "At this speed, it is estimated that tomorrow You can go to West Asia."

Food and grass were supplied from each station at the beginning, with some necessities for life - for the victory of the war, those nobles and powerful officials were very willing to spend some money to buy these, even if they were not willing, Tutankhamun's order , but also meaning - exchange food with these nearby villages, and then hoard.

When the army comes, there will be sufficient food supplies.

So when it comes to the battlefield, the troops transporting food and grass will not feel that there is too much food and grass to make the march slow, and the food will not be scattered on the road due to bumps in the middle.

As for the amount of food left at each site, it was calculated by Hollenhib and the mathematicians in the "House of Life", which is almost accurate to everyone.

Even if there is a surplus, it will not fill a car, so it can be easily resolved.

As for what's not enough, don't worry at all.Sometimes it's a good idea to use local materials.

"Then go up there to camp tonight?" Tutankhamun is now more and more developing towards Edjo, and he will be entangled in Tutankhamun from time to time.In his words, it was the fault of Hollenhib, who told him to tempt(?) him anytime and anywhere?Although it can't be the last, but the usual kisses and hugs are absolutely indispensable.

Well, fortunately, Edjo and Bester were left in Thebes, and now Horunhib belongs to him alone.

"You are the pharaoh, don't you decide?" Horunhib looked back at Tutankhamun with an expression of "what are you thinking?"

"But you are the coach, and I believe you can find the best place." This is not Tutankhamun flattering Horunhib, but a fact.

When Hollenhib was trained as a special soldier, it was not only special combat skills, but also survival skills.

For example, test whether the water quality is poisonous, identify whether plants are edible, and even learn to fight against ferocious wild animals.So during that time learning to hunt wild boars, snakes, fish, birds and insects; gathering flowers, plants and fruit; finding and drawing and purifying water sources; Training in winter clothes and herbal healing has long been engraved in Hollenhib's bones.

When it was almost dusk, the large army just entered West Asia.But the surrounding area is relatively deserted.Although there are groves, it is sparsely populated and there are only a few small villages here and there.

Hollenhib sent people to those villages to take out the food left by the previous food and grass troops, and set up camp in the grove outside the village—let’s not say that other people’s small villages can’t accommodate so many people, it’s the common people, yes Soldiers also have a sense of distance, right?

It would be great if others could lend granaries to store food for the army.

Fortunately, Hollen Heeb taught the "Fiduo" and "War Lion" how to use wood and sheepskin to build tents. With the "teaching" of more than 200 people, other soldiers in the army also quickly learned This very convenient construction method - after getting up in the morning, all the things in the tent can be put away in just over ten minutes, it is really the best choice for marching.

Marching all day, always eating those dry rations, although I will not complain, but if there is a chance to improve the food, I can still improve it.

So, after the tent was set up, a group led by "War Lion" rushed into the nearby grove to see if there was anything to eat...preferably fresh meat.

When it was getting dark, fires were lit in the camp - not only to drive away and frighten the nocturnal beasts, but also to keep warm.

Hollenhib skewered the leg of lamb offered by his subordinates on wooden sticks, and slowly roasted it on the fire.

Of course, Tutankhamun was beside Horunhib. He sat on a large stone covered with animal skins and also skewered a leg of lamb for roasting—but it was obvious that he was a little absent-minded.

He remembered that Opite Festival, after the two fell into the water.

At that time, Horunhib made him drink the cold and slippery snake blood, and chewed the dry snake meat.That unspeakable taste gave him the urge to arrest Edjo and abuse him.

"There are many more over there, don't you want your own one?" Horunhib saw that Tutankhamun simply put him aside, came to him, and took it out from his body. a lemon.

"But... I think yours smells better." Tutankhamun said with a smile.

Hollenhibb cut a hole in the lemon with a dagger, and then squeezed the lemon juice onto the surface of the leg of lamb—although there is no cumin now, the lemon juice should make the taste much better, right?

The Egyptians were fond of lemons, and they considered eating them and drinking their juice an effective way to ward off various poisons.Hollenhib also likes eating lemons very much, as if soaking lemon slices in water to drink every day.Even marching in hot weather is very thirst-quenching.And the lemon is durable, a few slices can supply a day.

The ancient Egyptians liked things with a strong taste, so the fishy smell of mutton can be completely ignored.Sprinkle the substitute spices crushed with your fingers, slice off the roasted outer layer of lamb with a dagger, and put them on a plate for the young king resignedly.

"That... Instructor... Ah, no, General, how long will it take for us to reach Amu Road?"

"It's Neftu, you can't wait to start the war?" Horunhib turned the leg of lamb over as he said, "Amu Road can only be reached after going deep into West Asia. But because the current king of Amu Road Ajilu defected to Egypt, so it is estimated that we will meet their army before we reach Amulu."

"...So that's it... Gu..." The young man named Neftu smiled shyly, and looked at the roast leg of lamb in Holunhib's hand with some covetousness—as for Tutankhamun, who was already feasting on it now. , that is Dare Xiao wanting to get a bite from him, "It's not that I can't wait, in fact, all of us are marching during this time, just want to do a big job at that time. We have been on the road for so long, it is inevitable that some I'm in a hurry."

In fact, they knew that their marching speed was already very fast, but at this time, without saying anything, how could they have the nerve to ask their general for food?

The one in the general's hand smells much more delicious if it was roasted dry by them...

"Maybe you all think that the battlefield is a place to show off your pride, but I still want to warn you - you will kill people on the battlefield. There will be more than one person from Amulu who will die by your sword... ...It is also possible that you will die under the knife of a certain Amulu soldier. Therefore, I hope that you will not only maintain this state of excitement, but also have a deeper understanding. It is blood and bones, swords and flames of war The world created... So, what you exchanged for your lives is not just honor."

"Ah... I know, and we all know it too," Neftu smiled, showing a smile similar to the one he used to bully men and women, "We have this awareness from the beginning, so General, Don't worry, I..."

"Your Majesty, General, when we were patrolling just now, we found a man sneaking around." Several patrolling soldiers pressed a man wrapped in a black cloak and interrupted Neftu's words.Seeing this, Neftu took the opportunity to leave.It's better for him not to listen to such things.

"Take it and have a look!" Tutankhamun said after eating and drinking.When the soldiers turned around, Tutankhamun gave a smirk, picked up a few pieces of tender mutton with his hands, and fed them to Horunhib.Even when he took his hand back, he even licked the place on his finger where he just touched Hollenhib's lips with his tongue.

Seeing the soldiers approaching them, Horunhib had no choice but to let out the roar in his heart—Tutankhamun was only 15 years old, who taught him such provocative moves?

Glaring at Tutankhamun viciously, Horunhib completely forgot that the 15-year-old "boy" in front of him married early in his previous life, and even had two daughters.

Under the reflection of the fire, even though it was wrapped in a large black cloth, it could be seen that the figure was not very big.Well, is it a thief?

Hollenhib stepped forward and used the scabbard to lift the opponent's hood. Immediately, a very young face jumped into view: "Children?"

"Who do you think is a child?!" The boy who was pushed down and knelt on the ground was unhappy. He raised his head and saw that there was such a good-looking boy in front of him, who looked not much older than him.At this time, the child didn't like others to say that he was young, so he naturally refuted.

"Whoever promises will be." Hollenhib teased him with rare interest.Originally, one was a killer or a thief, but judging by his appearance, he seems to be a young man who is not very good at hiding his heart?

"You..." The young man seemed to be choked by these words, his face flushed red.After a long while, he looked at the very soft and elegant face of Helunxib for a while, and muttered bitterly, "You look like a woman, and you still talk about me."

As soon as the words fell, the boy felt cold metal on his mouth.Looking in horror at the sharp blade so close at hand, the young man didn't dare to breathe out, his eyeballs were about to fall on the cold knife.

"Ah, what did you just say? I didn't hear clearly...Is it your mouth that insulted my general? You don't want your mouth anymore?" Every time Tutankhamun said a word, he put the knife on The opponent's skin pressed a little tighter, and his voice became more and more gloomy, so frightened that the boy didn't even dare to breathe.

"Your Majesty, don't scare the children." Holunhib put his hand on Tutankhamun's forearm with a smile, motioning him to withdraw the knife.But when Tutankhamun retracted the knife, he pulled out a long sword and plunged it into the soil in front of the boy with a "shua": "Now, you are the one who clearly stated your purpose of coming, like a bamboo tube pouring beans, or We ask, you answer?"

With Holunhib's action, the young man's little gratitude for his "saving" action just now was submerged under the billowing yellow sand.Oh my god, this guy is really not a good person!

Oh... wait? !

"You said he was a general? He is the Egyptian general Holunhib? That famous, young general?!" The boy's eyes widened, ignoring the fact that his skin was cut by Tutankhamun's blade just now. With a look of surprise, he pointed at Hollenci and preached.

Hollenhib tapped the boy's dishonest index finger with the scabbard, and the smile on his face became more gentle: "I don't know what your string of expressions is...but if you say 'Hollenhibb' , that is indeed my name. And, can you answer my question first?"

As for Tutankhamun, who was twitching when he saw Horunhib's smile, Horunhib said, ignore him and ignore him.

The young man who was hurt by the scabbard quickly curled his index finger back, shook unconsciously, looked around Tutankhamun and Horunhib, who were on the left and right, and then said nervously : "My name is 'Bentsina', from Amu Road..."
