Therefore, on the afternoon of the same day, many soldiers were willing to take a break and go home.

With someone taking the lead, the others also started to move and all expressed their intentions to take a leave of absence.

After a while, more than half of the soldiers had left.

It was unknown who spread the word that the Su Family young lady came up with this method, but if they did not prepare dinner, there would be a lot of inquisitive heads in the kitchen.

The surrounding soldiers were secretly saying that not only did this young lady have a handsome life, her ways of doing things were also top-notch. It was just a pity that she was a widow.

However, even if she was a widow, her exquisite and graceful figure still made the little brat's heart stir.

On the other side, Su Zhi was busy with the plucked pheasants, preparing to cook Red Braised chicken.

The leftover lamb chowder was made into a mixed soup pot. There were some potatoes inside, and when the soup was ready, he would put some ferns in the wok, along with a plate of fried pork liver and fried fat sausages.

Dinner was still delicious.

The soldier teased Su Zhi, saying that she was unwilling to return home because of her skills.

In regards to this, Su Zhi only smiled bashfully, but was still extremely happy in her heart.

On the moon, the branches of the willow trees swayed in the middle of the night.

Taking advantage of the time when the two children were sleeping, when Su Zhi was about to go out, she was blocked by a small soldier who came to deliver his message.

"young lady Su, our general invites you."

Su Zhi was regretful that she couldn't go out!

It was already the curfew time, what could Xiao Qian want to find her for?

"Does your general have a plan?"

"Not really, but I must have something to discuss with you."

Su Zhi could only change the route and head to the main tent.

Other than the lit torches, the rest of the place was already pitch black. The soldiers had had their fill and did not have any other ways to amuse themselves, so they had long since laid down to recuperate.

"General, young lady Su is here."

"Come in."

opened the flap of the tent and walked in. There were a few books in front of Xiao Qian, and he knew that she had entered, so he went straight to the point.

"You said that you could take care of all of this. I was willing to give you the chance, but I won't take it away with me. Do you have any objections if you want to deal with it here?"

Logically speaking, it would not be good for a lone man and woman to live in a room together, but seeing that he had a righteous manner, Su Zhi did not have any distractions in her clear and bright eyes.

No matter what, she was still a widow, so even if she took advantage of the situation, it would still be up to her.

On the other hand, this man had been through the battlefield for a long time, yet he still had such a beautiful pair of eyes.

"No problem, since the general asked for it, I will do my best."

Xiao Qian nodded, allowing her to casually sit down. He passed the account book over and started flipping through the other one.

The two of them were speechless but did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable.

Su Zhi found it funny. She didn't know if this little general had ever been married before.

In the dead of night, Su Zhi was already tired from working hard all day, and after flipping through two pages, she was tired to the point where she started yawning non-stop.

Xiao Qian said: "You're tired."

Su Zhi opened her mouth halfway and shook her head, "It's fine, I can still hold on for a little longer."

"Go back and rest first. Come back tomorrow when you're free."

Su Zhi did not refuse and returned the account book.

When I found her, Su Zhi had originally planned to go to the back of the army camp and bathe in the mountains.

Today, he accidentally heard the soldier say that there was a hot spring in the posterior mountain and the water was still flowing. It was slightly far away, but the water quality was really good and the temperature was also suitable.

Su Zhi was a little obsessed with cleanliness. After burning the entire day's worth of rice, she felt that her entire body was reeking of the smell of oil and smoke.

She found the back door and went out. She told the soldier that it would be convenient, and he let her be.

Su Zhi walked outside for a long time by herself, and the fire piston in her hand was quickly burnt to ashes.

The place was dark, and it was a wilderness. He could not help but feel a little scared.

Without the light from the fire, her movement became slower. She stumbled all the way to the hot spring mentioned by the soldier.

On the other side, Little Pancake who had woken up in the middle of the night didn't feel anything familiar to him.

The little bun rubbed his sleepy eyes. He used the kerosene lamp that was about to burn out to look at the bed, but he couldn't find his mother. He held his mouth and was about to cry.

"Mother!"

No one replied, Little Pancake got up from the bed, sat up and looked around, the cold wind blew through the tent and poured in, extinguishing the oil lamp.

In the darkness, the wronged little bun stared blankly for two seconds. Then, he took in a deep breath and burst into tears.

"Mother, wuwaa ~ ~ ~"

Ah Jin was still sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up by the sound of someone crying. He hurriedly stood up to console his little sister, "Big brother is here, I won't cry, I won't cry."

When he hugged Little Pancake to comfort him, she realized that Su Zhi wasn't on the bed at all. She looked around in fright, but didn't see any familiar figure.

Having just lost his father, the young child had yet to regain his strength. Without his mother by his side, an indescribable worry and fear filled his heart.

Little Pancake refused to obey, and continued to cry non-stop. Her loud crying sounded especially sudden in the silent night.
