Chapter 157 March, First Day

Li Mengxi officially marched with the army on the first day. When it was getting dark, the marching team stopped.

The village warriors began to set up tents and light fires to cook.

When the village warriors set up the porridge urns and other things, raised the bonfire, and lit up the campfires in clusters, it was completely dark.

I don't know where the army stopped, and I was not visiting villages or shops. It was dark at night, and the howling of wolves could be heard in the distance.

Because of the darkness and fear of wolves, the little brother was so scared that he asked him to get out of the car and go find a place to eat. Xiao Bian hid in the car and did not dare to get out.

"Let's go!" Li Mengxi slapped the carriage, "Brother has a knife in his hand. If the wolf comes, we will chop it down!"

The younger brother still trusted Li Mengxi. After hearing what his elder brother said, Xiao Bian carefully climbed out of the carriage.

When marching and fighting, he took his younger brother with him because Li Mengxi was not at ease leaving his younger brother alone at home.

Children are easy to get sick. If they do get sick, the military doctor Tian Bu here has superb medical skills and is trustworthy. Li Mengxi also knows some first aid methods, and others cannot trust him at all.

So I still carry it.

It was pitch dark everywhere. Li Mengxi looked left and right, but couldn't see where Liu Guanzhang was, so he simply headed towards the nearby bonfire to get some food.

Li Mengxi pulled his younger brother over.

The light was not good, so the village heroes did not see Li Mengxi coming.

At the campfire, in the hanging earthen pots, wheat porridge was being cooked.

There was a circle of people waiting for dinner around the bonfire, filling the circle around the bonfire.

Li Mengxi came closer, took a look by the firelight, and saw the coachman Lao Tie.

That is, the coachman who helped drive the carriage. A distant relative of Zhang Fei's family, named Zhang Mingtie. Li Mengxi called this uncle Lao Tie, because he was easy to remember and seemed familiar.

"Uncle Tie!" Li Mengxi walked over and said to Lao Tie, "Can I make a living?"

The village heroes sitting around looked at the sound.

"Hey!" Lao Tie looked surprised when he saw the two brothers Li Mengxi and hurriedly patted his clothes.

Lao Tie was very familiar with the person he was talking to, so he didn't even say hello, he walked directly behind someone who was staring at him, slapped that person in the face, "Dog, make way, the distinguished guest is here!"

"

The young man who was called Gouzi bared his teeth and smiled at Li Mengxi.

"Brothers, squeeze in!"

The adults moved closer to each other, squeezing out space for Li Mengxi and his younger brother.

Li Mengxi didn't have much of a city, but that was in his previous life.

In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, under the huge pressure of survival, Li Mengxi didn't know when he started to become observant.

Maybe it was during the time when he was surviving in the Yellow Turban Army that Li Mengxi began to learn to be more cautious because he was afraid of being killed.

While Lao Tie and Shi Chang were talking, Li Mengxi's eyes quickly scanned the circle and he was counting people.

Nine people, plus the coachman Lao Tie, made ten people.

In other words, these ten people are good at cooking, but because of the addition of myself and my brother, others will have to eat less.

"I'm going to bother you uncles tonight." The chief pulled Li Mengxi to sit down next to him. Before Li Mengxi could sit down, he politely greeted everyone with a smile.

He said hello and immediately closed the distance with the soldiers.

"Haha, military advisor Zhen is out of touch, isn't he?"

"It's so long, hurry up! Serve it to the two brothers first!"



The soldiers, who had dark faces and typical farm boy looks, showed the simplicity of the working people of this era. They became friendly with Li Mengxi, one took the initiative to chat with Li Mengxi, and the other greeted the two brothers quickly served rice to Li Mengxi, and was even more bold.

The bigger ones came up directly to pinch Brick’s little face.

No one dared to pinch Li Mengxi's face.

Although Li Mengxi is also a child, Li Mengxi is a military advisor, and he has a calm and calm temperament. Apart from his appearance, he looks like a real adult. The local heroes do not have the courage to pinch Li Mengxi's face.

Taking the wooden bowl in Li Mengxi's hand, the chief stood up, picked up a spoon and stirred a spoonful into the earthen pot.

With his hands on his younger brother's shoulders, Li Mengxi, who was smiling and chatting eagerly with the soldiers, was paying attention to his bowl out of the corner of his eyes.

He is not afraid that others will give him less, but he is afraid of being given too much.

Sure enough, when Shi Chang brought the bowl over with a smile, Li Mengxi stood up and took the bowl with both hands. Li Mengxi looked at the silly smile on Shi Chang's face, and then looked down at his own bowl.

Half the bowl is filled with wheat grains.

Wheat porridge is different from rice porridge. Rice can be cooked very thick. Because the wheat grains have the outer skin, the cooked wheat porridge soup is less watery. Apart from the wheat grains, it is just water.

Li Mengxi showed a big smile to the chief minister. He chuckled, then walked to the earthen pot, poured the thick porridge in his bowl into the earthen pot, and said, "My brothers have small intestines."

Small, the food is thin enough to make you full.”

Li Mengxi poured the porridge into the earthen pot. Everyone looked at him, and there was silence for a second or two.

After being stunned, Shi Chang's face turned red with embarrassment. He snatched the bowl from Li Mengxi's hand and said while serving it to Li Mengxi, "You can't eat what you said? You can still eat it when you come here."

Are you hungry?"

Shi Chang served Li Mengxi another bowl of thicker wheat porridge.

Li Mengxi took the porridge and felt mixed. He spoke again, "My brother and I don't work hard, so how can we not be as hardworking as you? If we don't work, we won't eat. We have enough gruel."

After that, Li Mengxi poured the porridge back.

At this point, Shi Chang's face became a little uneasy, and he insisted on serving another bowl of thick soup to the military advisor no matter what.

Li Mengxi held down Shi Chang's hand, hid the bowl behind his back, chewed it to death, and said he only had thin food, and he would not eat the thicker food.

The two were arguing, and finally the oldest Lao Tie came to the rescue.

"Shi Chang, let's just use the thin stuff." Lao Tie waved his hands, signaling Shi Chang not to argue anymore.

The commander looked at the short Li Mengxi and suddenly slapped his thigh, "Hey, you are a military advisor after all, so what you say is different!"

Li Mengxi said that if you don't work, you won't be able to eat, and he said it in a sentence, which made him admire him very much.

In the end, neither the thick nor the thin ones were filled, but as usual, the earthen pot was stirred with a spoon. The stirred wheat grains floated and the consistency was even.

This time again, Li Mengxi took it with a smile.

Everyone was hungry, the porridge burned their mouths, they were sucking and eating, their mouths were occupied, and no one had time to talk.

The soldiers glanced at Li Mengxi frequently.

Li Mengxi just acted and refused to eat more thick porridge. The soldiers were secretly impressed by this behavior.

This was the first time that Li Mengxi went deep into the military and had close contact with local warriors.

Speaking of which, Li Mengxi's qualifications are not as high as those of the local heroes.

Like falling from the sky, Li Mengxi suddenly landed in Liu Bei's army. Then he was valued by Liu Bei and became his military advisor, becoming the most central figure in the army.

At this time, what would the soldiers who followed Liu Bei all the way from Zhuo County think?

Everyone has the idea of ​​​​going further, and everyone is working hard. At this time, a baby who is still young suddenly crawls on top of everyone. How can a fucking baby become a military advisor?
