Chapter 409: Xiao Feng1

After all the chopped cabbage was thrown into the boiling pot. They added a bit of lard and salt, then waited until it was cooked.

At this time, the rice was also cooked. Zhu Siyi took the tray with bowls and filled it with rice and cabbage.

Zhu Siyi then handed the tray to the young boy: “What’s your name?”

The young boy took the tray that Zhu Siyi handed and said with a smile: “My name is Xiao Feng.”

Seeing the young boy’s thin figure, Zhu Siyi couldn’t help but ask: “Are you hungry? You can eat first before you deliver the meals.”

Xiao Feng looked at the steaming white rice in the tray and swallowed hard. “No, no, I’ll bring this first and eat after.”

Zhu Siyi didn’t insist further, he just nodded his head and said: “Well, you go and get back quickly.”

Xiao Feng nodded his head repeatedly, then turned around and carried the tray away.

Zhu Siyi looked at Hu Feng and saw him looking at Xiao Feng’s back in a daze. He sighed and said: “That child is so pitiful. He was sent to the barracks at such a young age. They mustn’t have enough food at home and can’t eat well, so he came to join the army.”

Hu Feng frowned and turned to look at the newly cooked cabbage in the pot. No one knows if he was talking to himself or Zhu Siyi when he said: “In this world, if people live well, who will be willing to join the army? Cut off heads fly and blood gushing everywhere, people say it is better to defend the country, but who knows if they were telling the truth?”

“Most people come to join the army to eat in the barracks. Rather than let themselves starve to death in their hometown, they might as well come here to fight. Maybe they can go back alive, at least there is a bit glimmer of hope.”

Zhu Siyi also became gloomy: “Yes, you said it right. I came to join here for my son. Without those 10 silver coins, our family won’t be able to survive this winter.”

Hu Feng’s eyebrows knitted more and more. His hands clenched into a fist. He felt like his chest was being blocked by something, and he couldn’t breathe smoothly.

Before, when he still lived as Chu Yan, when he was still Prince Jin. He was not aware of the sufferings in the world. He doesn’t know that many people can’t even eat in the world. He doesn’t know that many people die every day due to starvation and cold.

He thought the soldiers in the army joined to protect their family and the country. He thought they defended the country to show their ambitions. The soldiers in his cavalry camp ate and lived with him, which give them a chance to get close and friendly to each other. He thought he knew those brave soldiers very well.

He didn’t understand it until today. He was always in front of them as the commander of the three armies. They were never his equal. So how will they dare to say what’s really inside their hearts?

There were certain things that people will only understand after experiencing himself what is hunger, what is poverty, and what is despair!

Three years ago, he fell into the mud after coming from the cloud where the noble prince lived. He struggled in the pool of mud where people live in the lowest level of the world. Now, although he has restored his memory, he can no longer be the former Chu Yan.

“What are you thinking about?” Zhu Siyi pushed Hu Feng’s arm: “Don’t just stand there. Someone might come to get their meal.”

The camp began to get busy. They put the warm meals in the cart. They had to wait for all the soldiers in the 8th camp to get their meal. They could only eat what will be left behind.
