The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 302 Cao Zhu Hidden in the Cave

"I wonder if General Zhao could take a piece of clothing that General Cao wore. We have the means to track him down by his scent!"

After hearing the whole story, Lin Xi stood up, clasped his fists, and asked General Zhao.

"Yes, yes, yes, I'll get it for you right away!"

General Zhao strode out of the tent, and soon he came back with a set of underwear and a pair of smelly socks.

He stuffed these things into a bundle and tied it up, and said a little embarrassedly: "Please forgive me, Miss Lin, we are in the army, fighting and killing, and the clothes we change don't smell very good!"

Lin Xi didn't care about this at all. He looked at the generals seriously and said, "Generals and soldiers have sacrificed their lives on the battlefield and suffered in the barracks to protect us ordinary people. It is our honor to receive General Cao's clothes. How could we despise them? How could we have the nerve to despise them!"

After saying that, he took the bundle from General Zhao's hands with both hands with a look of respect and held it in his arms.

General Zhao and others were comforted upon seeing this. The people would always remember their contributions!

"Without further delay, we will take our men to look for General Cao. Generals, I will take my leave now!"

Lin Xi and Lin Kang bowed politely to General Zhao and others and were about to turn around and leave.

"Do you need someone to lead the way?"

General Zhao asked hurriedly.

"No need, let's split up and search, the chances will be better!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he clasped his fists towards the few people, turned around and strode out of the military camp with Lin Kang.

Looking at the backs of Lin Xi and the other two, General Zhao sighed and said to the generals behind him: "Do you think they can find Lao Cao back?"

"It's been so long, it's hard to say. The soldiers who went to search today have returned, but they still haven't found any clues!"

"I hope Brother Lin's people can really bring Lao Cao back!"

"Lao Cao, where are you? You must stay alive. We have never given up looking for you!"

At this moment, in a deep mountain, General Cao, who was being talked about, sneezed loudly several times!

Someone beside him asked, "Master, are you okay? Don't catch a cold!"

"Cao Chun, I'm fine. Let's split up and look for food. Once we find it, we'll hurry back to the cave!"

General Cao rubbed his nose, looked around vigilantly, and spoke in a low voice.

After saying this, he disappeared into the woods regardless of Cao Chun's objection. Cao Chun shook his head helplessly, knowing that even if he followed the young master, he would be chased away by him, so he went in different directions to look for food.

Half an hour later, General Cao and Cao Chun arrived at a steep cliff one after another. They slowly climbed down by pulling a naturally grown vine and stopped on a big tree in the middle of the cliff.

It is unknown how many years this big tree has been growing. In such a harsh environment, it takes two adults holding hands to hug the trunk!

General Cao and Cao Chun carefully followed the tree to the middle of the big tree and the cliff, then they went into the tree and disappeared.

It turned out that the tree was close to the cliff and there was an inconspicuous hole in the trunk, which was just big enough for an adult man to crawl into.

After General Cao and Cao Chun entered the tree hole, they climbed all the way down. It turned out that the lower half of the tree was hollow and connected to a large cave.

There were dozens of wounded guards lying in the cave. These people were sent by the old prime minister and General Cao to secretly protect Cao Zhu.

Some time ago, the Zhao family army, led by several generals, had already taken back more than half of the territory of Guanxi Prefecture.

One day, Cao Zhu was on duty in the camp when he heard from his subordinates that a little boy had come to the camp asking for help. A small mountain village about ten miles away from the camp had been occupied by the Jin soldiers.

The Jin soldiers tied up all the villagers and planned to use them as food. The little boy happened to see this scene while digging wild vegetables on the mountain. Fortunately, he was smart and hid himself. Then he secretly left there in the middle of the night and ran to the military camp to ask for help.

The little boy told him that before he came, the Jin soldiers had already eaten several children. General Cao was furious and cursed the Jin soldiers as beasts. He then led a group of men and followed the little boy to the small mountain village.

He didn't expect that this was a trap set for him by some people. In the end, not only did he fail to save the people in the mountain village, he was almost captured alive by the Jin soldiers!

When he escaped to the cliff, he fell down and found this hidden tree hole.

When the old prime minister and General Cao's men saw that something was wrong, they showed up and had a fierce battle with the Jin soldiers!

They shook off the large group of Jin soldiers and followed closely behind the Jin soldiers who were chasing Cao Zhu. After they desperately killed all the Jin soldiers, they saw one of Cao Zhu's guards stabbed a dagger into his chest and kicked him off the cliff!

They killed the man like crazy, stumbled to the edge of the cliff, and cried bitterly!

Just when he was blaming himself and wanted to turn back to find those Jin soldiers and die together with them, Cao Zhu's weak voice suddenly came from the bottom of the cliff.

They quickly pulled a strong vine and climbed down the cliff, and followed Cao Zhu to find the cave. Cao Chun, who was the least injured, ran to the top of the cliff to clean up the traces, and then they hid in the cave to recuperate.

What they didn't expect was that Cao Zhu, whose injuries were more serious than theirs, recovered in just a few days. Instead, he went out every day to find food and take care of them, which made them feel very guilty.

That day, Cao Zhu and Cao Chun came back with some prey. The guards who were less seriously injured quickly set up the pots and started a fire to cook.

They simply admired Cao Zhu so much that they didn't know where he found the pots and pans, and even got all kinds of seasonings, as well as the best healing medicines, beddings, cleaning supplies, rare fruits, and delicious dried meat, fish and meat patties!

This made them feel a little confused, as if they were not hiding here to heal their wounds, but were out for fun.

"General, the chicken is ready, please eat some first!"

Cao Chun scooped a large bowl of chicken, handed it to General Cao and said.

Cao Zhu waved his hand, pointed at the most seriously injured guards, and ordered Cao Chun: "Give them more food!"

Seeing that several guards were about to refuse, he continued, "Eat more and get well soon. I will lead you to attack the Jin soldiers' lair. You bastards, you dare to set a trap for me. I will turn their rear upside down!"

After saying that, he took out a meat pie from his bosom and took a big bite. Everyone looked at his chest and was used to it. The general could take out a few meat pies from there every day, but there was no one nearby, and no one knew where the general got them from. After Cao Zhu finished eating the meat pie, he took out a big peach from his bosom and started eating it.

While eating peaches, he was thinking about his sister and several lovely nephews. He must not let the news of his disappearance reach them, otherwise his sister would be so worried!
