Crossing the Unknown Country

Chapter 519 Su He Returns to Border Town

Su He and his party didn't waste any time on the road and arrived at Fenggu City smoothly. When they entered the city and came to the mansion in the city, the gatekeeper saw them coming back and ran over excitedly to greet Su He and his party.

The gate was opened to let the car in. The place was still the same, clean everywhere, and had not changed beyond recognition because the owner was not here. The servants, led by the butler, came to see the master and waited for his orders.

Qingming and Yingying started doing their own work as soon as they entered the room, directing the maids and servants in the young lady's room to put things away.

Su He told the housekeeper to put the food they brought into the warehouse, and then to prepare hot water for them, as they needed to wash up. He just arranged the rest, and the housekeeper and his men started to get busy.

They were all very happy, and the master was full of energy when he came home. Everyone started to move happily. They were all bought back one after another, and the master treated them very well and never treated servants harshly.

They all wanted the Su family to be well, and they didn't want to be bought and sold again. Although they signed the indenture, the master never restricted their freedom. There was a monthly salary, and it was agreed from the beginning that if they wanted to redeem themselves, they could just save up enough money.

The world is not good now. Many of them sold themselves to find a way out because their families could not survive. They sold themselves to have enough food and clothing. They also went to those vicious families. They found their home in the Su family. As for being free, it was the least important.

When Su He and his friends arrived at the border town, they each started their own business. Their masters needed to go back to see their fellows, and some needed to meet Wang Xiaohu.

Because Fenggu City was still safe for the time being, Su He looked at the situation of several stores. After everything was arranged, he took the things to see his brother Su Run and asked him how far he had practiced martial arts.

In this war, force is the best protection, and those who can fight can live longer. At a certain point in the war, it is a fight between people. At that time, force is the first, and luck is the second.

Su He came to the gate of the military camp and reported Su Run's name to the guards. After they checked the things, they could wait in the room at the side. Of course, Su He was very tactful and left some things for them. The soldiers happily went to call Su Run.

Su He didn't wait long before she saw the guard coming with two people. When they got closer, Su He saw that the person coming with Su Run was her senior brother Ye Jingyan, and she smiled as she watched them coming.

Su Run stepped forward, rubbed Su He's head with his big hand and said, "Why do you look so much thinner? Is life in the capital city tiring? Are your parents all right?"

Su He looked at his tall, dark and strong brother, who had grown into a man of his own standing.

Su He smiled and said, "I'm growing taller! Girls get thinner as they grow taller. My family is very good, and my brothers have all passed the imperial examinations. I think you're not bad either, you're so strong."

Then he said to his senior brother Ye Jingyan: "Senior brother, you look great too. You are less bookish and more brave and resolute like a general. It's really good!"

Su Run smiled and put his arm around Ye Jingyan's neck and said, "We are good brothers. The luckiest thing for my brother coming here is that he is under Jingyan's command as soon as he enters the military camp."

There is a reason why Su Run doesn't call Ye Jingyan "senior brother". They are the same age and born in the same month, so neither of them wants to be a younger brother, so they just call each other by their names.

But he had been taken care of by Ye Jingyan, so he could only repay him with things. His family would send people to bring them some supplies from time to time, knowing that they had worked hard in training. The supplies in the border town were still sufficient, but it was unrealistic to eat better.

This was also what Su He had said. Being a soldier requires a lot of exercise, and if you don't eat enough meat, you will definitely not be able to bear it. But with the supply of dried meat and pancakes from their families, the soldiers with them all benefited from it, and each of them was tall and strong.

After all, most of them are young men in their twenties, and they are still growing up, so they eat a lot. With so much exercise and a vegetarian diet, they wake up hungry at night.

Fortunately, there are good things to share here at Su Run, and the comrades in the same tent can also benefit from it and happily eat meat and cook their own meals.

Ye Jingyan smiled and said, "Thank you, Junior Sister, Uncle and Auntie, for sending us the things that allowed us to have enough to eat and not go hungry or cold."

Su He said happily: "This is not what I should do. It would be fine if I didn't know your situation, but now that I know, of course I have to prepare for you."
