VOLUME 5 CHAPTER 44: DON’T TELL ME THIS IS RIDING AS 3 FOR THOUSANDS OF MILES (21)

I stuck my face into the icy spring water lake and was instantly a.s.saulted by a bone-chilling cold that permeated my body and made me s.h.i.+ver.

There was snowfall for a few days and after it stopped, the weather became colder and colder. But it is at these times that I am more willing to take in my surroundings. I engraved the cold like the chill I got just now into my heart so that I can recall this sensation and remain cool inside when summer returns.

At this time, we have stopped for rest and are currently enjoying the beautiful winter scenery.

“Oh~~~”

“Don’t roll about little sister! You’ll catch a cold!”

Mi Zhen rolled about on the snowy ground after she got down from the carriage with a look of sheer joy on her face. Gan Qing, on the other hand, was picking up the thick clothing Mi Zhen took off and chasing after her.

Playing around is fine but it wouldn’t be fun anymore if she were to get sick.

“Hua Tuo, go and give Gan Qing a hand…”

“Oh~~~~”

I turned to speak to Hua Tuo, in the hopes that she could help, but this girl who was about the same age as me was currently rolling about on the ground like a kid as well.

Never mind, they’ve been cooped up in the carriage all this while after all.

Speaking of which, would there be game to hunt in the surrounding forests at this time of the year? The last time we had meat was back in Xuchang.

“Lord Lu Bu, Wen Yuan, let’s go hu…”

“Hua… Hu…”

“… Wen Yuan, stop snoring!”

I turned to the other side and found Lu Bu and Wen Yuan lying down on the snow. Wen Yuan was already fast asleep and soundly snoring while Lu Bu was frowning and had an irritated look, probably because she couldn’t sleep with the snoring beside her.

We’ve been taking turns to keep watch all this while, and we haven’t enough to eat so it’s no wonder they are fatigued.

But I really didn’t think that everyone would be so indolent.

Haa~~ I yawned as I thought so.

“General Guan, I have some matters regarding the troops that I wish to consult you on.”

At this time, the only one who was still energetic was Liao Hua, who did not was still recording every last detail about our journey.

“You really are hardworking huh…”

“I was a Registrar after all.” She flicked her hair back as she said so as a matter of factly with a blank expression. She then came up closer to me with the scroll as she continued, “About the recruitment of troops… Ah!”
