Chapter 9 Repair
Gongsun Yan slept very deeply. After dawn, the noise of the soldiers repairing the courtyard in full swing did not wake her up.

With the two thousand kilograms of dried noodles in the main room, not only Xia Houlan, who was nervous, but also Zhao Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The snow still didn't stop, but with a coat to keep warm from the wind and a feast of exquisite human delicacies last night, the depressed atmosphere in the team was completely gone.

Zhao Yun arranged for a meal of white water noodles in the morning.

Although there was no fresh soup to go with it and the portion was half less than last night, knowing that this thin thing called noodles could continue to be supplied, the sergeants had completely come out of the shadow of defeat.

Soldiers in this era had little spiritual support. They were either forcibly recruited or just for food.

Sons of good families like Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan who joined the army in the form of righteous obedience were mostly from relatively wealthy families, but their promotion channels were controlled by aristocratic families, so they brought people from their hometowns to sign up to join the army, hoping to make contributions and break the monopoly of aristocratic families.

However, after such people join the army, most of them have received a certain degree of education because their families are wealthy, or they have private soldiers, so they are promoted quickly and quickly become middle- and upper-level officers.

A soldier who can count to a hundred can become a corps commander or a senior commander.

The truly illiterate soldiers at the bottom have no faith, no convictions, and no thinking. A good meal is enough to cheer them up. Most of them don't care where the military rations come from, as long as they have something to eat today.

Patting their thick robes, the soldiers began to organize the deserted village camp in an orderly manner under the organization of Zhao Yun and Xia Houlan.

Seeing that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, they had to stay here for a few days to rest and prepare the camp. It was imperative to build simple shelters that could protect them from wind and rain.

The first person to benefit was the courtyard where Gongsun Yan lived.

Yesterday we set up camp in a hurry, with only the felt on the horse's back separating the inside and outside. It was inconvenient after all.

Today, more than three hundred people started working together, and soon the rooms with collapsed walls on the left and right sides of the main room were repaired.

The snow melted by the campfire, mixed with the excavated wet mud, and mixed with hay to build thick walls. The roof that was blown away by the strong wind was re-paved with grass and was held down layer by layer with stones.

Zhao Yun personally stood guard at the door with a sword in his hand. It was not until the courtyard wall was re-erected that he picked up the sleeping Gongsun Yan, placed her on the newly replaced hay in the left room, and lit a bonfire.

The residences of senior school officials such as Tian Kai and Zhao Yun were also moved from the main room to the room on the right.

The remaining noodles were carefully stacked in the most intact main room, and no one was allowed to enter.

Even the kitchen and toilet were briefly repaired.

It wasn't until the arrangements were made, Wang Wu was sent to guard the yard, and Tian Kai was given some noodle soup that Zhao Yun left with peace of mind to set up the surrounding security posts.

"Zilong..." Xia Houlan, who was traveling with him, hesitated to speak.

After having a full meal with the sergeants yesterday, Xia Houlan's IQ returned to normal when faced with the thousands of kilograms of white dried noodles, and she began to question whether the idea of ​​being a child was nonsense.

Zhao Yun waved his hand and interrupted him, "Zixiu doesn't need to ask any more questions. These things are indeed related to the Gongsun family. Otherwise, could they be conjured out of thin air?"

"But..." Xia Houlan frowned and couldn't figure out why Gongsun Zan was hiding such good things in this insignificant and insignificant place.

How did Zhao Yun get it back alone?
Xia Houlan has been in the army for many years. Unlike Zhao Yun, who returned home to observe mourning for his brother and left for a few years, he has always followed Gongsun Zan and experienced Gongsun Zan's glory and downfall. Gongsun Zan's grumpy old brother really doesn't seem to be hiding things everywhere. Character after defeat.

Moreover, these warm-weather clothes are also of strange style, but the quality and workmanship are extremely high. I don’t know what is filled inside, and they are very warm.

There was also the noodles from last night. Xia Houlan smacked his lips in reminiscence at the thought of it. He was from a commoner family and his family was not bad, but he had never eaten such delicious food.

Where could Gongsun Zan go to get these novel and good things?

"General Gongsun once had a prophecy..." Zhao Yun said half a sentence before closing his mouth, leaving the rest to Xia Houlan's mind.

Prophecy?Did Gongsun Zan know that his children would be in such trouble today, so he...

Gongsun Zan has always been superstitious about prophecies and loves to make friends from all walks of life. Maybe he will get advice from an expert?

Xia Houlan felt that this reason was barely justified.

"Zixiu, I hope this matter doesn't get spread." Zhao Yun looked into the distance unfathomably, as if he had said something but actually said nothing.Just when Zhao Yun was fooling Xia Houlan, Gongsun Yan fell into the most comfortable sleep since he came to this world.

When she opened her eyes just before noon, she felt like she was floating on clouds, and she forgot her situation for a moment.

"elder sister?"

After having breakfast with Zhao Yun and the others in the morning, Gongsun Cheng stayed beside Gongsun Yan as usual, refusing to leave for a moment.

The experience of his father's murder and self-immolation and the mountain of corpses and blood sea to break through the siege left a very deep mark on Gongsun Cheng.

Gongsun Yan also realized this.

"Ah Cheng is good, you have been taking care of your sister."

Gongsunyan straightened up and gave the child a big hug. It is said that hugs have the effect of reducing stress and healing, and can give people a sense of security.

Gongsun Yan stroked his brother's hair with his chin and patted his back gently.

"A Cheng, let's go out to play and wait for sister, okay?" Gongsunyan let go of Gongsun Cheng and rubbed his little red face.

After sending the unwilling Gongsun Cheng out and closing the simple wooden door, Gongsun Yan looked around the room where he was.

The simple adobe walls were still wet, and a pile of hay was piled on the ground.

Next to the hay are the stainless steel pots and kettles she bought yesterday, which have been cleaned.

A square fire pit was dug downward in the corner of the wall, with a wooden shelf on which a pot could be hung stretched across it. Next to it was a pile of neatly chopped firewood.

Gongsun Yan stood up and took off the cotton coat wrapped around her body. The smell that hit her face made her close her eyes.

She didn't know what she had been through these past few days. She felt like a walking corpse.

Holding back the smell, he lifted up the blood-soaked and caked clothes on his body, and Gongsun Yan pressed it again. Yesterday's half-tube of treatment potion, combined with this morning's automatic treatment from the system, had a great effect!
Gongsun Yan could clearly feel that his ribs and waist, which were sore yesterday, had returned to normal.

There is no longer a tight feeling on the face, at least no longer like yesterday, when you can lower your eyes and see your sausage-like lips.

Even the bruised purple color left on the skin now should fade away with another free treatment.

After carefully checking the injuries on his body, shaking his head to make sure that the dizziness disappeared, Gongsun Yan adjusted his clothes a little, straightened his messy hair, and walked out carrying the empty water bottle.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Gongsun Cheng. Although he was sent out by Gongsun Yan, he didn't want to go far and quietly stood guard at the door.

Seeing that he was clingy, Gongsun Yan had no choice but to let him go.

After leading him for two steps, a sergeant wearing armor and a military coat came up to him and saluted with a cupped fist.

"Who are you?" Gongsun Yan has been unconscious and is not familiar with these soldiers.

"My name is Wang Wu. Captain Zhao ordered me to stay here and wait for orders. Madam, if you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."

The sergeant holding the sword grimaced and held his breath. He did not look frivolous because she was a woman. The Captain Zhao he mentioned was naturally Zhao Yun, who temporarily replaced Tian Kai.

It seemed that Zhao Yun had given special instructions, so Gongsun Yan was not polite and handed over the kettle in his hand, entrusting Wang Wu to help boil the water.
Wang Wu was also from Jizhou, with a serious temperament, few words, and high obedience. This is why Zhao Yun specially left him on duty to wait for Gongsun Yan's orders.

He took the strange-looking shiny kettle and left without asking any questions, clasping his fists and accepting the order.

Gongsun Yan asked Gongsun Cheng and took him to the room on the right to visit Tian Kai.

The room on the right is very similar to the one where Gongsun Yan slept, except that it has a few more haystacks and is the same as the big bunk bed.Tian Kai slept in the innermost position.

Yesterday's half-tube of therapeutic potion had an effect. Although he did not wake up directly, his complexion improved significantly.
