Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower



The other young commanders glanced at Nan Luo when they saw him.

"I thought that you will take longer. Here's your share." Feng Ao Si handed a bowl of porridge to Nan Luo.

In the military, their ration was mostly just some dry meat and porridge that was cooked. Sometimes, it can be changed to soup, but the vegetables were still very limited at this period of time. They can only bring some dry good and for others, they can hunt on their own if they wanted to.

Though, most soldiers had to obediently accept that they could only eat at limited amount of food.

"Another tasteless porridge?" Nan Luo's lips twitched but he still took the bowl.

It was indeed not a very good life for those pampered young masters. Thankfully neither Nan Luo or his cousins ever complained about the food for real. After all, they understood very well that it was good to have food to eat at this time.

Sheng Shan Lang chuckled. "Do you eat a variety of foods in your home?"

"There are usually several kinds." Nan Luo began to eat and swallowed before he answered.

"Do you usually eat in restaurant or at home?"

"Of course at home. It's not like I have the time to visit restaurant all the time." Nan Luo rolled his eyes. Who would like to eat at restaurant if he could eat home? The food at the restaurant was more often than not expensive, ok?

It was not like he had no money. But the food at home was delicious enough, so Nan Luo never bothered to think too much about this matter.

Behind them, Nan Hua took a seat and eat on her own. She had her own dry ration and calmly bit the hard bread. Even though she had lived the life of a young miss for a period of time, she was never picky about food.

"Do you eat at restaurant a lot?" Feng Ao Si asked curiously.

"No. My sister is the one who cooks at home. And it's more expensive for me to eat at restaurant than eating at home." Sheng Shan Lang rubbed his nose.

He was living at the village back then and during the hard time when there were no parents to take care of him, he hunted for his meal while his sister take care of their gardens. At the very least, it was quite fulfilling.

However, his dream was to become a general and earned a lot of money so that he could live a good life. So when there was a conscription notice, he chose to go and his sister could only stay behind.

"Oh right, you mentioned your sister a few times." Feng Ao Si recalled that Sheng Shan Lang liked to mention about his sister. "When you go to the military, she lived alone?"

"No, I entrusted her to the neighboring aunt." Sheng Shan Lang shook his head. "She's a few years younger than me, so I feel bad for not taking her along."

Nan Luo thought about Sheng Shan Lang's sister and then recalled that Feng Ao Si said that Sheng Shan Lang was planning to introduce his sister to him. His eyes narrowed slightly. "How old is your sister?"

"She's 16, around the same as you." Sheng Shan Lang glanced at Nan Luo and then at Feng Ao Si.

"When will you introduce her to me?" Feng Ao Si asked curiously.

"After this war. She's staying in the small city not far from the Capital City. That area is now my small territory." Sheng Shan Lang had gained some merit and naturally had his nobility raised. Thus, he was granted a residence on his own and he asked for the place not far from his hometown.

His sister had been staying there for some time.

"In that case, I'll be waiting for that." Feng Ao Si nodded, a bit curious.

Nan Luo: "…"

He had the feeling that the reason why Feng Ao Si was willing to agree to Sheng Shan Lang's introduction was also because this man kept on mentioning his sister from time to time. Feng Ao Si would definitely be curious and want to meet with the other party.

Nan Luo felt somewhat tired.

He felt that Feng Ao Kuai was really not having it easy. To have such a foolish brother, what would he do if Feng Ao Si was being fooled by others?

Turning his head, he saw Dai was burying his head in eating the porridge in front of him. It was clear that he was unwilling to get involved in this matter. This had happened so many times that Dai was so tired to even mention it again now.

"Young Commander Sheng, I hope you wouldn't mind that my cousin Feng Ao Kuai and me to come along with Brother Si. He might not have the best vision in this matter," Nan Luo interrupted.

Sheng Shan Lang looked at Nan Luo and nodded. "Don't worry, you're welcome to come."

"Thank you."

Feng Ao Si scratched the back of his head. "But I don't think that I'm so stupid…"

"Brother Si, your food will be cold if you keep on talking."

"Ah."

At the back, Nan Hua watched their interaction and felt that it would be better for Feng Ao Si to talk less in the future. If he kept on talking, she had the feeling that he would be easily duped by others.

At the same time, she wondered what would actually make Feng Ao Si grew up and be smarter?

Uh, the first worry was still somewhat solvable but the second one didn't seem to be able to be corrected.

Nan Hua chose not to interject.

She glanced at the side and saw Long Qian Xing was also eating silently. He looked in her direction from time to time discreetly but didn't say anything.

After all, it would be strange for the two of them to interact so much when they were not close previously. Everything can only be done step by step to make sure that there was no one who would be suspicious.
