The howling north wind blew from behind, causing Li Xiu, who was moving forward, to make a chill. This morning, Li Jing finally decided to move forward because the road ahead was about to be opened. In order to reach Dingxiang earlier, they also seized the time to move forward.

It was also the first time that Li Xiu took this road dug out of the snow. He saw that there were high snow walls on both sides of the road, and there was no view outside. The snow wall should not have been so high, but when digging the road before, most of the snow dug out was thrown to both sides of the road, which resulted in the snow wall being taller than people.

There was an endless stream of people around Li Xiu. Because the road was too narrow, four horses could only be paralleled at a time, so the entire team was dragged for a long time. Fortunately, the snow blocked the road at this time, so there was no need to worry about being attacked by the enemy, otherwise such a long team would have violated the taboo of military strategists.

"Master, please go up the sled and rest, let me get down and leave!" At this moment, suddenly, the tent on the sled behind Li Xiu opened, revealing Yue Chan's little face full of distress.

"No, just stay inside and rest. It's too cold outside. If you get sick, who will take care of me?" Li Xiu smiled and turned his head.

In fact, Li Xiu also wanted to stay in the warm sledge, but the war horses in the army not only had to eat grass, but sometimes they also had to eat some beans and other food to replenish their energy. However, these days, food was scarce and even people could not eat enough, let alone horses.

Fortunately, there are many dead grass on the grassland, which can barely prevent the horse from starving to death, but they usually become listless. For example, the horse that Li Xiu usually uses to pull sleds, now he has no strength. Although he has tried his best to throw away some useless things, the horse is still very struggling. In the end, he simply got out of the car and left by himself. Anyway, the team is not moving fast now.

Yuechan saw Li Xiu walking in the snow with difficulty, and she felt extremely distressed at the moment. She wanted Li Xiu to get on the car several times and got off the car and walked, but Li Xiu refused, which made her both distressed and moved.

Originally, Li Xiu and the others were only one day away from Qin Qiong's camp, but this day was calculated based on the usual marching speed. However, based on the current road conditions, the team was dragging so long that the front team might have arrived at Qin Qiong's camp, but the team behind had just set off. So at night, Li Xiu and the others had only left halfway, but it was already dark. Many soldiers had no vegetables for a long time, which caused vitamin deficiency and night blindness, so they could not marches anymore, so they could only rest on the spot.

As night fell, temporary tents were also built. Today's dinner was pretty good. In addition to a bowl of porridge for each person, there was also a mixed grain cake. Although it didn't taste very good, it could at least satisfy your hunger.

Li Xiu saw that the guards beside him were also very tired, so he didn't ask someone to set up a tent for him. He slept on the sled with Yue Chan. During dinner, Yue Chan actually took out a large bottle of chili sauce, which made Li Xiu ask in surprise: "Why is there still this? Haven't you handed it over before?"

"I had to hand over the grain before, and chili sauce was only considered seasoning. I forgot to bring these things before. I threw a lot of things this morning, but found that there was still a box of chili sauce that I didn't eat." Yuechan smiled at this time. There were too many things they brought when they came before, and even she forgot that she had these chili sauces, which were produced in Su Niang's workshop.

"We will definitely not finish eating a box. I will send it to my brothers later. It's easy to have this thing!" Li Xiu heard that there was still such chili sauce, and immediately stood up and said. Yuechan also stood up, then pulled out a box from behind the sled. After opening it, there were indeed a dozen jars filled with chili sauce.

At that moment, Li Xiu personally held the box and sent a bottle to each team for them to serve food. As a result, these guards were so happy. After all, not only were they not full these days, but they were also short of oil and salt. A bird was almost fading out of their mouths. This salty, spicy and fresh chili sauce was so good to their appetite.

However, in the end, Li Xiu left two bottles and asked Yue Chan to eat them first. He brought two bottles of chili sauce to the front. Ma Ye and Qin Qiong also set off with them, and were just in front of Li Xiu's team, only about a hundred steps apart. When he found Ma Ye, he found that he and Qin Qiong were also sitting in a simple tent, preparing to have a meal.

"Huh? It's almost dark this day. Why are you kids not guarding your beautiful lady? Why are you here to find us two big men?" When Ma Master saw Li Xiu coming in, he couldn't help but make fun of him. The reason why he stayed at Qin Qiong was that he didn't want to disturb Li Xiu and Yuechan, and wanted them to get along more. Maybe when the New Year comes, he will see Li Xiu adding children again.

"I'm giving you good things to Uncle Ma. Since you don't want it, I'll leave!" Li Xiu's face was much thicker than Yue Chan. He raised his hand and raised the chili sauce in his hand, and after that, he made a move to leave.

"Chiji sauce! Give it to me!" Ma Ye recognized what Li Xiu was in his hand at a glance. He also said ecstaticly, jumped up and snatched the chili sauce in Li Xiu's hand. Then he opened the plug and smelled it intoxicatingly, and then praised, "The taste is still so pure. Su Niang has a conscience in doing business. Yesterday, I dreamed of eating soup cakes with chili sauce!"

Ma Ye said without using chopsticks. He stretched out his fingers and dug a ball of chili sauce into the jar and stuffed it into his mouth. These chili sauces were made by Vegetarian Mother. She knew that Li Xiu liked spicy taste, so she chose the spicyest chili. Usually, Li Xiu would eat them with pancakes or steamed buns. If Ma Ye stuffed them directly into his mouth like Ma Ye, he naturally couldn't stand the spicy food. Fortunately, there was porridge next to him. He picked them up and took a few big sips, and then he felt a little more comfortable, but he was still blushed with spicy face.

In contrast, Qin Qiong was much wiser. After saying hello to Li Xiu, he picked a little with chopsticks and applied it to the mixed bread, and then he started to eat the cake in one bite and a bite of porridge.

Li Xiu didn't eat either. He was tired and hungry after leaving for a day. Since the things had been delivered, he was preparing to go back for dinner. But at this moment, Mr. Ma suddenly called him, and then said with a serious expression: "Boy, there is something I want to ask you, you have to answer me honestly!"

"What's the matter?" Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Ma Master's serious expression.
