Chapter 122 General Cao Departs
Cao gently wiped the wine from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, got up and went to the bedroom. After a while, she was seen walking towards Lin Xi and others carrying a bundle!
After sitting down at the table, she carefully opened the bag, revealing a pile of books!
"Brother, this is the book on military strategy that I have memorized over the years, as well as some of my own insights. I hope it can help you!"
Hearing her words, Lin Dayong, Lin Xi and his two siblings looked at her in amazement!
His wife knows military tactics?
Their mother wrote so many books on military strategy just by memory?
General Cao looked at the four stunned people and laughed out loud!
After laughing for a while, he said proudly: "My sister has the ability to remember everything she sees. She has read countless books on military strategy, many of which are rare books. Her military strategy is even better than mine!"
After saying that, he took the bundle from Cao's hand and put it away carefully!
Looking at his little sister who made his grandparents proud, he thought to himself: My sister used to trust her family too much and believed in the goodness of human nature, so she didn't apply what she learned to her own family. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been plotted against by those so-called parents and sister and almost died.
Seeing her husband and the children in a daze, Cao laughed and said, "Okay, don't stay here any longer. Let's eat while the food is still hot!"
After saying that, he stood up and served food to everyone!
The whole family had their meal together happily!
"This dish is so delicious and spicy! I was sweating while eating it!"
General Cao wiped the sweat from his forehead and exclaimed, "It's great!" After that, he stuffed a large chopstick of pig's stomach into his mouth, swallowed it in a few gulps, and then picked up the spicy fried pig intestines!
Lin Dayong kept stuffing food into his mouth and didn't even bother to talk. This time, his daughter cooked some delicious dishes in large portions. It was so delicious!
Lin An and Lin Ping’s mouths were red from the spicy food. After a while, they gulped down a cup of tea and continued eating!
Cao's forehead was covered with sweat as she ate, and her chopsticks kept moving!
"Mom, how about we discuss military tactics when we have a chance?"
Lin Xi swallowed the braised pork in his mouth, walked up to Cao and said with a smile.
"Okay, come on, Xi'er, eat the food quickly, you see they are almost grabbing all the food!"
Cao looked at Lin Xi gently, nodded with a smile, picked up a piece of spicy fish for her with chopsticks, and continued to eat the food!
Looking at everyone wolfing down the food, Lin Xi quickly picked up another big piece of pig intestines!
It’s better to eat first, otherwise the food will be snatched up!
There’s nothing she can do. Since everyone likes it so much, she even made a lot more, but it was still finished immediately!
She secretly glanced at her uncle who had a huge appetite. In the morning, he ate only twice as much as an average person. Why did he eat so much tonight? Didn’t he show his full strength at breakfast?
She was just wondering when she heard General Cao's cheerful voice.
"Finally I'm full! I was so happy during breakfast that I didn't even think about eating. I didn't feel like fighting with those kids for lunch at noon, so I made up for it tonight. It's so delicious!"
Cao looked at her brother touching his belly with a satisfied look on his face, then looked at her husband and the two little ones lying on the bamboo chairs, and said to Lin Xi with a smile: "Xi'er, do you still have the digestive herbs from last time? If so, I'll cook some and each of us can drink a bowl to help digestion. We all ate too much tonight!"
"There's more, mother, you sit down, I'll go and endure it!"
After Lin Xi finished speaking, she pushed Cao back to sit on the bamboo chair. She quickly walked into the kitchen, and on a whim, she secretly took out some digestive herbs from the boundary bead, washed them, and made a digestive soup!
"Xiao An'er, Lin Ping, come in and serve the digestive soup!"
A quarter of an hour later, Lin Xi's voice came from the kitchen!
Hearing their sister's voice, Lin An and Lin Ping immediately climbed up from the recliners and trotted into the kitchen!
After a while, everyone held a bowl of sour and sweet digestive soup and started drinking it in small sips!
“What a heavenly day!”
General Cao swallowed a mouthful of digestive soup and sighed.
"Brother, when the war is over, do you want to come live in Linshan Village?"
Cao heard her eldest brother's sigh and asked with a smile.
"Of course I will come. I have planned it all. I will build another yard next to this one. I will go hunting in the mountains during the day and exercise with the children. In the evening, I will have a drink with my brother-in-law!"
General Cao said with a look of longing.
"Brother, you forgot one important thing!"
"What's important?"
After hearing his sister's words, General Cao tilted his head and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything important. He looked at Cao and asked in confusion.
"Find me a sister-in-law! Brother, do you want to live like this for the rest of your life? You should find someone who understands you!"
"Oh, let's talk about this later. I have you, my brother-in-law, and three nephews. I'm not alone at all!"
Seeing that Cao wanted to talk more, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Little sister, we will rest in Qingyun County for a few more days before setting off for Guanzhong Prefecture. There are some fierce bandits in the mountains near the surrounding counties. We don't have time to suppress them yet. You should not leave the village alone on weekdays. If you need to go out for something, let your brother-in-law and the children accompany you!"
"I understand, big brother. Don't worry. I seldom leave the village on weekdays. If I do go out, I will go with everyone!"
Cao said with a smile.
"Uncle, why don't you kill the bandits before leaving?"
Lin An tilted his little head, looked at General Cao, and asked in confusion.
General Cao touched his little head and said, "It's not that we don't want to destroy them first, but the situation in Guanzhong Prefecture is critical. We must rush over to support them as soon as possible! The mountain bandits are cunning. Once they see the soldiers, they hide in the mountains. The mountains are continuous. Once they hide back, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack for us to find them. It will take a lot of time, and Guanzhong Prefecture can't wait!"
"Humph! If those bandits dare to mess with us, we will destroy them!"
Lin An clenched his little fist and waved it towards the sky.
Lin Ping responded repeatedly from the side!
"Okay, you two should practice harder. You haven't killed anyone yet, and you want to kill the brutal bandits. I think you're just going to die!"
Lin Xi patted Lin An and Lin Ping on the head in annoyance and continued, "Go and move the tub into the house. I'll make some medicinal soup for you two to soak in. Especially, Lin Ping, you should soak in it for a while longer!"
The two brothers laughed and touched their heads, then worked together to move the bathtub into the room and went to take a medicinal bath!
After saying something to his parents and uncle, Lin Xi turned and went into his room.
The three Caos chatted for a while and then went to sleep!
The next day, when it was still dark, Cao got up early and prepared meat patties and vegetable and egg soup, because the eldest brother said last night that he had to leave at daybreak!
When everyone heard the noise, they all got dressed and got up!
After finishing breakfast together, Cao packed a large pile of meat patties for General Cao, and then carefully sorted out the dried meat, snacks, and dried fish, and put them all in a big bundle!
"Brother, you must take good care of yourself on this trip. We will wait for your triumphant return!"
Cao handed the bundle to General Cao, looked at him and said solemnly.
"Don't worry, little sister. I will write to you. I will definitely win the battle and come back safe and sound!"
After General Cao finished speaking, he put on his bag, strode away, and never looked back!
Cao just stood there, looking in the direction her eldest brother left, until she could no longer see his figure, and she still didn't move!
"Mom, don't worry, uncle will definitely come back safely! I can go to Guanzhong Prefecture to see uncle and give him more spiritual fish!"
Lin Xi stepped forward and comforted him.
Lin Dayong, Lin An and Lin Ping also stepped forward to offer their condolences.
Mrs. Cao looked at her family who cared about her, smiled gently, and then went back into the house to continue making furs!
After watching Cao enter the yard, Lin Dayong went to the village to meet up with the villagers and went to the mountains to set traps and collect prey!
