Chapter 1112 Collided
Chapter 1112 Collided
Over the past month, they have been sleeping in the open air, living in fear, eating wild vegetables when hungry and drinking mountain water when thirsty. Under such conditions, they were able to win the battle and escape from the pursuit and blockade of so many enemies, which shows how powerful Xu's army is.
In fact, she didn't see herself. She was thinner than anyone else at this moment.
She had always eaten a lot and had to eat meat for every meal. In the past month, she had been on the road most of the time and had to lead the way. She did not have time to go hunting every day, so she ate the same food as everyone else most of the time. However, she had a big appetite, so if she wanted to feel full, she had to eat at least a bowl of wild vegetables and grass roots.
Over the past month, she has lost weight faster than anyone else.
They look thinner now than when they fled. After all, the food shortage didn't last long. Later, after they sold the fruits and earned so much food and money, they no longer lacked food and were no longer hungry.
If the Li family members saw her now, they might faint from crying.
I didn't expect that one day, even though the family was so rich and had enough food for the whole family to eat for a hundred lifetimes, they could still be so hungry. What's the difference between them and beggars?
When she appeared in front of Zhou Dacang, he really didn't recognize her at first.
The two groups arrived together.
As soon as Zhou Guo and several thousand people came out of the mountains, they were blocked by Zhou Dacang's army and surrounded.
Under normal circumstances, a family could definitely be recognized if they were wearing the same military uniforms, but at this time, they had been in the mountains for so long and had fought so many battles that their clothes had long been tattered. When it was very cold, they even stripped them off the dead bodies of the enemy and wore them on themselves to keep out the cold.
At first glance, it looked very suspicious that a group of refugees were sneaking down the mountain without even a flag.
But the other side doesn’t know them, but they know the other side. Who doesn’t know Zhou Dacang?
All the soldiers immediately knelt down and said in unison: "Greetings, General Zhou!"
Zhou Guo, with her hair as messy as a chicken coop, felt a lump in her throat and almost cried. She actually saw her uncle here.
Zhou Dacang was stunned and looked at them carefully, then he realized that they were his own people.
Their kneeling exposed Zhou Guo, who was standing blankly in the middle.
Zhou Dacang looked over, and when he saw Zhou Guo's face, his body froze, as if struck by lightning. He scanned him from head to toe in disbelief, opened his mouth, and tremblingly uttered a name, "Zhou Guo?"
Zhou Guo pursed his lips and whispered, "Uncle..."
Zhou Dacang was a strong man, a general who could call the wind and rain and had the final say on the battlefield. His eyes were red and his chest seemed to be pressed down by a huge rock. He couldn't breathe and didn't utter a word for a long time.
Zhou Guo actually had no strength left. She was so hungry. She had eaten the last bit of food she had a day ago. The little food that Dashu, Xiaoshu and the personal soldiers left for her was not enough to fill her stomach.
She stared at the horse Zhou Dacang was sitting on, thinking that the horse was so big that if it was divided, it should be enough for many people to eat.
Zhou Dacang jumped off the horse and walked quickly to Zhou Guo. He stretched out his big hand to touch her little face, but was afraid that his calloused hands would hurt her. He wanted to pinch her shoulders, but found that the child was too thin, as thin as a bamboo pole, and was afraid that she would break if he pinched her.
The original color of his body could no longer be seen, it was pitch black from years of fighting. He knew what it was, it was all blood.
His hands couldn't help but tremble, his heart tightened, and he gritted his teeth and asked, "Are you injured anywhere?"
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the child got out and was still alive. He had been rushing all the way because he was afraid that the child would not be able to get out.
Zhou Guo shook his head, looked at him and said, "I'm hungry!"
Zhou Dacang almost shed tears.
He called out from behind, "Someone, bring some meat!"
Soon, the personal soldiers came with a bag of food, which contained dry rations, dry biscuits, dried meat, and fried dough cakes. This was a new thing Zhou Guo had made back then. In the past few years, he would fry some and take them with him before going to the battlefield.
He opened the bundle, took out a piece of meat and a dry biscuit and handed them to her, "Eat slowly."
Zhou Guo accepted it with great joy, but he did not forget his brothers behind him and said, "They didn't eat it either."
Zhou Dacang waved his hand and the troops behind him took out their rations.
Thousands of starving people took the dry rations and braised meat and started eating them in big mouthfuls.
The way of eating has no image at all.
……
General Xu stood beside the sand table with a frown on his face. It had been so many days and there was still no news. This kid had never fought in a war and he didn't know what had happened to him.
If something happens, how will he explain to the Zhou family?
Sighed.
The personal soldiers brought the food, "General, it's time to eat."
General Xu waved his hand, "If you don't want to eat it, take it away."
How could he have the mood to eat now? Who knows where his child is starving in the mountains.
It is said that when they left, they only brought a few days' worth of dry food. Judging from the past, they had run out of food long ago, and no one knows what they had eaten in the past few days.
The others didn't know what to say. They had never seen the general like this, worrying about one person.
Even if his own son went to the battlefield, his life or death was decided by fate. The eldest son was in danger a few years ago and almost lost his life, but he didn't seem to be so worried.
Just as he was worrying, someone came to report from outside the tent, "General, General Zhou is back, and the young master is back too! They are at the pass!"
"What did you say?" General Xu walked out and asked with a sullen face, "Which young master?"
"Replying to the General, it's Master Zhou!!"
Xu Xiushan was unable to catch his breath and his face turned red. He opened his mouth many times before he burst into laughter.
The others also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the young master is back. It’s good that he is back. If he hadn’t come back, life would have been hard for everyone from top to bottom.
Xu Xiushan finished laughing, and waved his big hand excitedly, saying, "Come on, come on, except for the sentries, go to the checkpoint to pick up someone for me! Military doctor, military doctor, call the military doctor for me!"
He mounted his horse and rode towards the checkpoint with a smile on his face, feeling relieved. This girl was really great. They had been looking for her for so long, and she turned out a long time ago. They just didn't know when she got together with Zhou Dacang.
Zhou Guo sat on the ground, and the food in the bag in front of him was visibly decreasing.
Zhou Dacang handed her water, patted her on the back from time to time, and said distressedly: "Eat slowly, no one is competing with you for it, these are all yours, how long have you not eaten?"
Zhou Guo took a bite of the braised meat, shook his head, and had no time to talk.
The people nearby rushed over to serve after they had finished their meals.
Zhou Dacang looked at them and then at Zhou Guo without saying anything.
When Du Xu Xiushan and a group of people arrived, Zhou Guo had already finished his meal.
