Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2399 Turn around and go back
Wang Song's attitude is very respectful, and the others are also very obedient, even a bit flattering.It seems that it is not bad to reflect.

Liu Ya nodded to Wang Song, first handed him the kettle in her hand, and said, "I just took it here, I don't know who it is. Return it for me, thank you."

Wang Song promised to take it, raised the copper pot, and turned to look at the soldiers.Then a person came out and took the kettle.

Liu Ya took the opportunity to ask: "Which one of you still has simple marching equipment? Can you cook in a picnic? If we catch prey, we can't just eat barbecue. Most people may catch a cold after yesterday, and their throats are swollen and they can't eat it." Barbecue, you should drink some boiled bone broth."

When Liu Ya said this, most of the people swallowed.Some people have painful expressions when they swallow.

Indeed, it is spiritual to be filled with fear when encountering water beasts.However, after walking through the snowy water all night, most of them had caught a cold, and their throats were swollen and inflamed.

In addition, there is no food on my body, except for eating grass roots, hunting and eating barbecue, but the more I eat, the more dry my throat is, the more painful it is, not to mention the discomfort.

Some people have long thought that it would be nice to have a bowl of hot soup?Even if there is no broth, a bowl of wild vegetables will do.

But a few people have a copper marching kettle, and it is a luxury to be able to boil some water to drink.You know, only a few dozen of the nearly 5000 people have copper pots.After boiling the water, everyone can share it and take turns to drink it.

This is what Liu Ya wanted, and she continued: "It seems that everyone is in a bad situation. We have no equipment and can't continue to march. You know, we have already marched halfway, and it is more cost-effective to advance than to retreat. Therefore, I plan to Go get back the equipment you lost earlier."

Everyone listened to Liu Ya's analysis and nodded accordingly.These people are also people who have experienced marching many times. Everyone knows that they can't turn back now, they can only move forward.

But when Liu Ya said to go back to find equipment, these people undoubtedly showed surprised expressions.

Wang Song even asked directly: "Boss, what do you mean... you want to go back?"

Liu Ya nodded and said: "Yes. I'll go back and find the lost equipment, at least it can support us until we get out of this desert. It doesn't matter if we arrive later than expected, I've already arranged for people outside."

It's good to have someone to respond to, but if you go back... no one dares to respond for a while.

Liu Ya knew this would be the effect.It's not that these people are cowardly, but that the courage to face the unknown is not enough, and the temptation is not strong enough.

If there is a dead end in front of him now, he can only go back and face those water beast monitor lizards. Liu Ya doesn't believe that they are unwilling to turn back.

People always have the mind of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and when to choose which path, they already know it in their hearts.

Of course, they will say: We are here to fight, not to feed water beasts.

Liu Ya said again: "I thought about it, if I don't go back to find the equipment, there may be dangers and difficulties in the remaining three or four days. At that time, half of the people will not be able to go out."

A cold and fever don't seem to matter at ordinary times, just take some medicine and you'll be fine.

But in such a desert, without food, drink, marching tents and warm clothes, a high fever will cause a person to lose consciousness in one day, and it will burn him unconscious in three days.

If there is a little more wind and cold at night, many people will never wake up in the morning.

Wang Song thought for a while, stood up and said, "I am willing to go back with the coach."

Liu Ya looked at him and said seriously: "Do you have any trusted brothers? Take them back with me. I guarantee how many people will go and how many people will come back. Even if I go back alone, what I can get back is after all limited."

Wang Song nodded.He was actually a centurion, but not all of his men were selected.So when he looked at it now, only twenty or so people stood up.

Liu Ya smiled bitterly, patted Wang Song on the shoulder, and said, "Not bad. At least your popularity is better than mine. You are the only one who is willing to follow me back."

Liu Ya's words were not loud, but it was as if a loud slap had been slapped on the rest of the people.

Before departure, these people were all full of momentum, and they were even more proud of being able to follow a coach like Liu Ya.Because they had never seen a coach who dared to break into the yak formation alone, the halo on this woman's head was too dazzling.

Now they are all cowardly and dare not follow, this slap hurts the apex of their hearts.

Then dozens of people came out, the group of people brought by Shiqi before.It can be seen that the people with the [-]th belt are still reliable.

However, Liu Ya also discovered that these people were the ones who suffered the most casualties when encountering monitor lizards, so only these dozens of people can leave now.

One of the black-faced men said in a low voice: "Commander, my name is Qin Amao. My brother was taken away by that water beast. It's not that I didn't want to go with you just now, but I just thought of my old mother and daughter-in-law."

"I understand." Liu Ya said: "We will come back after we get the things, I promise nothing will happen."

After a pause, Liu Ya sighed, and said, "I originally wanted to take 200 people away, but it's enough to see now."

Of the 5000 people, less than 100 were willing to follow her back.Liu Ya really had to smile bitterly.

What the hell morale and military prestige are worthless and worthless.

Liu Ya's eyes swept over the faces of those people, and said: "Let's go now, I think you have nothing to clean up. Hurry up and come back, and you will be back at noon tomorrow."

"Boss." Wang Song hesitated, walked to Liu Ya's side and asked in a low voice, "If we set off now, it will be midnight when we return to that water lake."

Wang Song's meaning should be: if you walk over during the day, you will encounter water beasts. If you go back in the middle of the night, wouldn't you just send them a midnight snack?This less than 100 people is probably not enough for those water beasts to stuff their teeth.

But Liu Ya said firmly: "I just want to go back at night. Because I have already thought about it, the habit of the water beast is to be active during the day and not come out at night. So it is the safest time for us to go."

Wang Song hesitated for a moment, but immediately said: "Okay, I believe." After that, he waved his hand, and the 20 or so people automatically stood behind Liu Ya.

Liu Ya didn't talk nonsense, she took her away and left resolutely.

But Liu Ya didn't notice that after she turned around, some people came out of the brigade one after another and quietly followed behind.

Two hours later, when Liu Ya ordered everyone to rest on a dry highland, she suddenly realized that there were at least 500 people behind her! !
"You..." Liu Ya was startled for a moment, and was speechless for a while.
