Chapter 853: Delivering Food to the Border Defense (1)
Liu Jingxue slept in the time formation until she woke up naturally. It was already half past nine outside.
I quickly washed up and ate something to fill my stomach. It was almost ten o'clock now, and in more than an hour, it would be time for lunch.
Now, if I eat too much and miss my lunch, my aunt will keep feeding me and nagging me.
Liu Jingxue didn't want to experience her aunt's nagging skills again.
After many years, she once again felt the power of "Mom thinks you are hungry" and "Mom thinks you are cold."
As soon as she arrived at the cowshed and before she entered the house, Liu Jianjun pulled her aside mysteriously.
"Little sister, let me tell you something."
Liu Jingxue looked at him in confusion, "Second brother, what do you want to tell me?"
Liu Jianjun was a little embarrassed. "I threw away so many wolf carcasses last night. I couldn't bear to part with them. The more I think about it, the worse it gets."
Before he could finish, Liu Jingxue interrupted him.
"Second brother, you didn't sneak over there again last night and try to get the wolf corpse back, did you?"
Liu Jianjun waved his hands, "No, it's so dangerous at night, the wolves that escaped may come back at any time, how could I take the risk.
It's fine if I'm alone, but my elder brother lives with me. If he hears the noise and follows out, and encounters a pack of wolves, that would be a disaster for him."
Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this guy still had some potential.
However, it turned out that she was a little too early to relax.
“I got up early this morning to see if the wolf corpse was still there.
If possible, see if we can sneak it into the mountains and deal with it.
Even if we don't want the wolf meat, we have to get the wolf skins back."
At this point, Liu Jianjun frowned deeply, and said in confusion,
“But I didn’t see any wolf carcasses or even any traces of blood while I was running.
I clearly remember that when we shot those wolves, blood flowed out and dyed the surrounding snow red.
But I searched all this way and couldn't find it.
I almost ran to the town, but I still couldn't find the wolf corpses.
I clearly remember that we met the wolves halfway, how could there be no trace at all?"
"Maybe the wolves that escaped after we left came back and dragged away the bodies of their companions," Liu Jingxue said perfunctorily.
“Wolves are cold-blooded animals, so there’s no reason why they can’t eat the meat of their own kind.
In the absence of food, they will use the bodies of their dead companions as rations, and may even prey on their own kind. "
“But even if they took their companions’ bodies away, there would always be some traces left behind.
But I couldn't find any trace of it anywhere." Liu Jianjun still felt a little unbelievable.
Liu Jingxue tried to persuade Liu Jianjun, "What's the big deal?
Didn’t you see that the snow has been falling non-stop for so long and so heavily that the traces would have been covered long ago?”
“The traces can be covered up, but the smell cannot be covered up.
I couldn't smell any blood along the way."
If you can smell the blood, then all my special tricks would be in vain.
"The blood is frozen, frozen, and covered with thick snow. How can you still smell it?"
Liu Jianjun was skeptical, "Is that so?"
Spreading her hands, Liu Jingxue said helplessly, "What else?
Or do you think that what we experienced last night was just a dream, and we didn't encounter any wolves at all, and didn't shoot so many wolves.
What other reason can you find besides this explanation? "
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, lest they hear it."
Liu Jingxue breathed a sigh of relief after finally tricking Liu Jianjun.
She didn't expect that this person would go there this morning to bring back the wolf corpse.
She is a stingy person of her generation, and she is very protective of her food.
Fortunately, I was fooled by him.
In the evening, Liu Jingxue left the cowshed early and returned home.
She has to go to the border tonight to deliver food to the soldiers. She has to run so many places, so she has to come back early.
But after getting home, she didn't leave immediately.
After all, it is still early now, and other people will not come to see me at night, but my eldest brother and second brother might come over.
Although they just followed me back to Zhou Mingxuan's house, there is no guarantee that they won't come to find me if something happens.
To be on the safe side, Liu Jingxue planned to wait until they went to bed before taking any action.
After returning home, Liu Jingxue entered the space, took out the food, medicine, quilts and cotton-padded jackets to be sent out from the warehouse, and placed them on the open space in front of the house.
After thinking about it, she got some more cotton from the warehouse.
After all, she had limited fabric in her space, and she made few cotton-padded jackets and did not stockpile many quilts. These finished quilts and cotton-padded jackets were definitely not enough.
For the others, we can only give them cotton and let them stuff it into their own cotton-padded clothes or quilts, so that at least they can keep warm.
After preparing everything, Liu Jingxue lingered in the space for another half an hour before leaving.
He scanned the cowshed and his eldest brother and the others with his spiritual sense and found that they had all gone to bed, but had not yet fallen asleep.
Even so, Liu Jingxue didn't plan to wait any longer.
There are so many places to run tonight. If I wait any longer, I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish running tonight.
It is still snowing heavily outside. Although she is not cold because of the protection of the spiritual shield, Liu Jingxue still puts on a thick cotton coat and trousers.
It's not for anything else, it's just a psychological effect.
Liu Jingxue used the invisibility technique and pasted an invisibility talisman on the magic sword, then set off immediately.
In order to avoid missing any routes and taking the same route over and over again, she planned to first go to the border in the south of Liaoning Province and then fly along the border to Jilin Province and Heilongjiang Province.
After finishing this side, we will fly to Xinjiang along the border of Inner Mongolia.
However, Liu Jingxue estimated that the food she had stored might not be enough for her to complete this lap.
Even if she sent a little more to each place, it might not be enough.
Let’s go to as many places as we can today. As for the rest of the places, we can only deliver them after we get new food.
Tuanzi is now working at full capacity to grow crops in the space, and can harvest a batch in about two days.
For the places where we cannot deliver tonight, we can only apologize to them and ask them to wait a few more days.
Liu Jingxue found the southern border line of Liao Province relatively easily. After all, there were boundary markers there, and she could confirm it by scanning the boundary markers with her spiritual sense.
If the range of her spiritual sense was relatively large, after discovering the boundary marker, her spiritual sense would quickly discover the simple outpost guarding this border line.
At this time, there were still many soldiers on guard, facing the border, always paying attention to the movements on this side of the border.
Liu Jingxue's arrival in the air did not attract the attention of the soldiers. After all, she was in invisible state and in the air.
Liu Jingxue scanned the outpost and the camp not far away with her spiritual sense. Seeing the simple environment and harsh conditions made her feel even more uncomfortable. She regretted not thinking of them earlier.
If I had thought of them earlier, I could have sent them things a few months earlier, and their living conditions would have been improved.
Now, not only is it a few months late, but we can’t give too much food, otherwise other places will run out of food.
