Although the villagers escaped this beast attack due to the arrival of Xi Jiuye and the divine soldiers.

But the villagers in the ancient village suffered numerous casualties, and even Lan Chuchu's adoptive father died tragically under the claws of the beast.

After Xi Jiuye ordered people to bury the corpses of the villagers, he looked at the dilapidated ancient village and Lan Chuchu with red and swollen eyes, but he hesitated to speak.

"Ye Ling, the ancient village was attacked. I don't know when there will be a second beast attack. There are only dozens of old and weak women and children left in the village. Chu Chu and the others have nowhere to go. Why not take them back to the military camp first and let them do what they want?

Some simple sewing and mending work, and when the situation becomes more stable, we will find a way to send them away."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling frowned and looked at Lan Chuchu and the women and children behind her.

Lan Chuchu had already knelt down with a group of old, weak, women and children.

"General Jiuye, Lieutenant General Ye, you must help us. We can endure hardship and can do any job. Please let us stay in the military camp for a while."

"Can you endure any hardship? Someone, bring up an animal carcass and let them skin it and remove the bones."

Ye Ling raised her eyebrows, feeling a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Xi Jiuye, this idiot, how long has he been, and he still has compassion for her?

When they went out on patrol this time, they got news that heresies had been happening in the area adjacent to the demon world and the divine world recently. They suspected that the forces of extraterrestrial demons had bewitched the forces of the demon world.

The superiors sent them to investigate the cause of the incident as soon as possible. In this case, they were too late to rush, so they had no time to take care of these women and children who were holding them back.

According to Ye Lingyue's wishes, it would be best to escort them to the nearest city as soon as possible.

Xi Jiuye wanted to say something else, but was shocked by Ye Ling's faint glance.

He saw Ye Ling's red lips pouting slightly, and he felt unhappy at first glance.

There was an inexplicable joy in his heart. Was Ye Ling just jealous?

Xi Jiuye felt sweet in his heart, closed his mouth and stopped speaking.

That demonic corpse was one of the demonic beasts that attacked the ancient village last night. It was shaped like a giant elephant, with a ferocious face and long, thick hair all over its body.

When the women and children in the ancient village saw the monster, they were so frightened that they dared to step forward to skin it and remove its bones.

Lan Chuchu looked at the monster corpse, trembled, and looked at Xi Jiuye pitifully. Xi Jiuye did not dare to look directly into her eyes and looked left and right.

Lan Chuchu gritted her teeth, walked forward, closed her eyes, picked up an ax clumsily, and chopped down hard.

A stream of thick blood spurted out and splashed on her face.

She screamed, her body swayed, the ax in her hand fell out of her hand, and she fell towards Xi Jiuye beside her.

"neat."

Xi Jiuye hurriedly supported her, and saw that her face was pale, and her white hands were covered with blood, as if they had been torn apart by the axe.

"Brother Jiuye, I can really do it. I can do anything, as long as you let me stay."

Lan Chuchu's eyelashes trembled, her body was weak and boneless, and she leaned against Xi Jiuye.

"That's enough, Ye Ling, don't make things difficult for Chu Chu. The men who skin and bones will do the rough work. Chu Chu and the others can go wash the clothes and sew and mend them."

Xi Jiuye couldn't bear it.

"Am I making things difficult for her? It's just a simple assessment. To survive in the military camp, who hasn't gone through a life and death test? Didn't I also get made things difficult for me in the beginning?"

Ye Ling said angrily.

"How can they be the same? You are a man and she is a woman."

Xi Jiuye said dissatisfied, feeling that Ye Ling was being a little unreasonable.

"I...Miss Chu Chu, I see that your hands are delicate and your fingers are like onion roots. You really don't look like someone who does rough work. Are you really the adopted daughter of the village chief's family?"

Ye Ling rolled her eyes at Xi Jiuye.

The latter was startled for a moment, then looked at Lan Chuchu's hands and Ye Ling's hands.

Ye Ling was a civil servant, and his hands were white and clean. Earlier, Xi Jiuye and Yi Qian, an old general, both said that "his" hands were more feminine than those of women.

But now, Ye Ling's hands have also developed thin calluses. They have been marching and fighting all year round. No matter how delicate they are, they can shed a layer of skin on you.

As a village girl in an ancient village, Lan Chuchu had to do a lot of farm work and housework. Her hands were like those of a daughter of a wealthy family.

Xi Jiuye couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"I am not a member of the ancient village, but...but someone else's illegitimate daughter. Over the years, my 'father' has been supporting the village chief and his family, and the village chief and his family have never asked me to do menial work."

Lan Chuchu glared at Ye Ling with some annoyance.

Her plan to kill her was already working, but now that Xi Jiuye was about to agree to let her stay in the military camp, little did he know that Ye Ling would cause more troubles.

"It turns out that she is the daughter of a powerful man, so it would be even more inappropriate to stay in the military camp. After all, the military camp is full of grown men. When people investigate, I am afraid that Miss Chu Chu's reputation will be ruined. If Miss Chu Chu is willing, we can send

Several people will escort you back to your biological father."

Ye Ling suggested.

"Ye Ling is right, Chu Chu. Now that the war is in chaos, you will be much safer if you can return to your father's side."

Xi Jiuye felt good after hearing what Ye Ling said. No wonder he felt that Lan Chuchu was different from ordinary women.

He was seriously injured when he was a child, and the injuries were so severe that even the clan doctors could not treat him. After being rescued by Lan Chuchu, he was cured by him.

He also asked about it afterward, but Lan Chuchu shied away and didn't elaborate. Now that I think about it, it's also because of his life experience that it's inconvenient to say more.

When Lan Chuchu heard this, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Her life experience has been a stain on her for many years, but after meeting Xi Jiuye again, she suddenly came up with the idea of ​​​​recognizing her father.

Nothing more than that, because she had heard that only women from noble families were qualified to marry young generals like Xi Jiuye and become their official wives.

She wanted to marry Xi Jiuye, but beside him, there was Ye Ling who looked very annoying.

Xi Jiuye was very protective of Ye Ling. She wanted to drive Ye Ling away and just stayed with Xi Jiuye, fearing that she would have to return to her father.

Although that man felt sorry for her mother and her, he had written a letter not long ago and wanted to take her back.

Lan Chuchu was reluctant at first. She has been waiting for the boy to come back all these years.

"Then thank you two generals."

Lan Chuchu pondered for a moment and bowed Yingying.

Neither Ye Ling nor Xi Jiuye could have imagined what kind of uproar Lan Chuchu would cause in their lives.

After sending Lan Chuchu away, neither Xi Jiuye nor Ye Ling mentioned Lan Chuchu again, as if she had never appeared.

During that patrol, Xi Jiuye and Ye Ling worked together to defeat the monster's lair and capture the leader of the monster who had caused trouble.
