Chapter 411 Don't be too outrageous
The famine was so severe that the soldiers in every city they passed through looked pale and skinny.
Only this city!
Just now she carefully observed the soldiers on the city wall. They were all fat and strong, and there was no sign that they had experienced famine.
Even if they had a lot of food stored in the city and a strong foundation, it wouldn't be like this.
Song Zhi was confused in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face.
Because the situation was too strange, she had no plans to attack the city directly, but instead asked Meng Qi and his soldiers to set up camp outside the city.
She was really curious about why the people here were able to survive the famine safely and without any impact.
There couldn't possibly be someone like my mother-in-law in this city, or someone with a storage space as amazing as Yuebai.
Song Zhi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions.
At this time, the soldier who went to the city wall to call for help also came back, and behind him was a thin figure.
Because of the distance, Song Zhi could not see the man's face clearly.
But Song Zhi could feel that as soon as that person appeared, a gaze that made her hair stand on end was locked on her.
The gaze was so gloomy that she shuddered unconsciously.
When she followed the gaze, it moved away from her again.
Song Zhi almost immediately confirmed that this was the person in charge of Wucheng now.
She originally wanted Xie Ting to go forward and try to negotiate with this person, but the person just whispered a few words to the soldier beside him and left the city wall directly.
Song Zhi narrowed his eyes. It seemed that he had met a tough guy again this time.
However, what she is least afraid of since her rebirth is tough guys.
She turned around and went back to where the camp was set up, and still let the talkative Xie Ting try to communicate with the soldiers on the city wall. After all, he was not afraid of embarrassment, and he could chat to himself for a long time even if others ignored him.
After setting up the tent, she deliberately asked the soldiers to light a bonfire and barbecue. The aroma of barbecue soon spread and drifted straight towards the city wall with the wind.
Song Zhi had used this trick several times before.
Every time, the defenders of the city would drool with envy and wish they could surrender on the spot.
But when she looked at the soldiers in Wucheng, they were standing there with their eyes fixed straight ahead, completely indifferent to the aroma, as if they had no desire for meat at all.
"It's really weird."
Song Zhi murmured softly.
There are only two possibilities in this situation. One is that these people have no sense of smell, and the other is that these people have no shortage of meat to eat, so they have no interest in meat.
Considering their fat and strong image, Song Zhi is currently more inclined to the second situation.
But how could these people still have so much food in stock after months of famine? Could it be that they were all stockpiling food for a rainy day, just like her?
Many doubts lingered in his mind, and at this time Xie Ting came back with a dry mouth.
He took the water bag and drank the whole thing in one gulp, his face full of bitterness. "Boss, they don't say a word at all. They're even harder to deal with than the people in Moyuan City."
At least the people from Moyuan City sent them a letter, but the people here really didn't pay any attention to them at all.
Xie Ting's throat was about to smoke, and the people above him just watched coldly.
After talking too much, Xie Ting felt like a clown performing for them and gradually fell into autism.
Song Zhi patted his head and said, "Thank you for your help."
Ah Luan also offered warmth in time and handed over a piece of roasted meat, "Here, take it and eat it."
Xie Ting's autism was immediately cured by this piece of barbecue. He took the barbecue without hesitation and said, "Sister Aluan is really good to me. Otherwise, General Xin would be willing to train you. Unlike some people, who follow General Xin around without paying any attention to them."
Meng Qi on the side nudged Song Chenfeng and said righteously, "He's calling on you."
Xie Ting was about to retort, "I clearly said..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Song Chenfeng next to him stand up straight.
He stared at the barbecue in Xie Ting's hand and said in a muffled voice, "Don't you have hands? If you want to eat meat, why don't you grill it yourself?"
Xie Ting: “?”
Song Chenfeng continued, "The woman worked so hard to grill the meat, how can you, a grown man, eat it so comfortably?"
Xie Ting: “???”
He looked at Meng Qi with a puzzled look, and said with an expression: What's wrong with him suddenly?
Meng Qi spread his hands and replied with an expression: Don’t look at me, I don’t know anything.
Song Chenfeng was about to continue speaking when A Luan suddenly stood up and said, "Brother, this is boring. I volunteered to grill the meat for Xie Ting. Don't be unreasonable."
Song Chenfeng's eyes suddenly widened. "I'm being unreasonable? You've never grilled meat for our family, right? Why did you grill it for him?"
Xie Ting showed an expression that was hard to describe. "No way, in the barracks, the soldiers are all one family. It's just a barbecue. Who would think so much? Don't be so outrageous!"
Meng Qi also said: "Brother Song, we are all comrades-in-arms. Although you are siblings, you are really exaggerating."
"Yes."
Xie Ting was very dissatisfied. "I didn't eat the one baked by your Cuihua, why are you so anxious?"
As he said this, Xie Ting was so angry that he deliberately picked up the barbecue in his hand and took a big bite.
As soon as the word Cuihua came out, Song Chenfeng seemed to come back to life immediately.
Only then did he realize what he had just done. He immediately glanced at Aluan guiltily, but saw that Aluan's eyes were not on him at all.
He looked around guiltily again, but Song Zhi didn't even glance at him, Xie Ting was concentrating on the barbecue in his hands and ignored him, A Luan was looking elsewhere, and only Meng Qi was looking at him with an indescribable expression.
He made the situation awkward for a while, and even the soldiers next to him felt that something was wrong.
He moved his lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately held it back and sat back in silence.
When Alua saw him sit down, she sat down too.
Everyone gathered around the campfire as usual, but the atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Song Zhi still had no intention of speaking. Xie Ting ate the meat in big mouthfuls and smacked his lips.
Only Meng Qi looked at everyone and said, trying to smooth things over, "It's all my fault for talking nonsense just now, causing you to misunderstand, so you want to use this as an excuse to get back at me. Actually, I know Xie Ting is targeting me. Humph, anyway, I'm happy to follow General Xin. Even if she doesn't like me, I can still follow her. So, if you don't agree, go ahead and bite me!"
It's hard for Meng Qi. He is obviously a very serious person, but he forces himself to be like this just to liven up the atmosphere.
Xie Ting also felt that it was not easy for him, so he responded to his words out of courtesy.
"I'm convinced! How dare I not be convinced? I'd better save my strength to bite others. If you ask me, we should just attack the city tomorrow. Who can stop us now? What do you think, boss?"
