Chapter 93: Large Snake
Qin Wanwan’s head topped with a large peony appeared at the military camp, attracting the attention of who knows how many people.
“Daddy, where is my daddy?”
“The General is at the training ground.”
Nowadays, who in this military camp doesn’t recognize Qin Wanwan?
Today, the military camp held an arena competition, and many of the subordinates of the powerful deputy generals went to compete.
Qin Wanwan grabbed Shang Wuyang’s hand: “Daddy Shang, let’s walk faster.”
Shang Wuyang, dressed in red and wearing a mask, looked out of place in the military camp.
After all, he looked very expensive.
The sun was high, and Qin Wanwan felt hot, but Shang Wuyang felt it was just right.
Because she found it cool and comfortable to stick close to Daddy, Qin Wanwan simply stopped.
“Daddy Shang, I want a hug.”
Shang Wuyang indulged her.
Qin Wanwan’s gaze rose. Daddy smelled so good, it was super comfortable!
The enthusiastic shouts from the training ground were deafening.
As they arrived, they happened to see two men with bare chests fighting on the arena. Their fists, the size of sandbags, were smashing into each other; it hurt just listening.
Finally, the thinner one was directly hugged by the other and thrown out of the arena.
“Great!!!”
Immediately, a rough and loud cheer erupted.
The person who was thrown out of the arena regrettably exited.
“Next match, Ma Er versus Hong Wu.”
As the announcer’s voice fell, two men took off their shirts and walked onto the stage.
“I yield…”
They clasped their fists and then quickly began to fight, also without any weapons, relying solely on brute strength.
Shang Wuyang’s red attire was too eye-catching; someone noticed them as soon as they appeared on the training ground.
“General Xie, Wanwan is here.”
The man standing with his hands behind his back on the high platform turned his head upon hearing this. Shang Wuyang was holding Qin Wanwan as he walked up the stone steps on the left, step by step.
The little milk ball in his arms was exceptionally lively.
“Daddy Xie~”
General Xie’s stern face softened slightly, and the corners of his expressionless mouth turned up a little.
“Daddy, I brought you something to eat. Eat it quickly before it melts!”
She bounced and raised her small hands to beckon: “Faster, faster, bring it over quickly.”
Wolf Fang and several others brought over the milk tea and ice cream.
Shang Wuyang: “Are there any stools?”
Xie Chong: “No.”
“Then I’ll take her away.”
Xie Chong: ………..
In the end, he had someone bring a stool.
Looking at the simple stool, which didn’t even have a backrest, Shang Wuyang clicked his tongue in disdain.
But he still sat down.
Qin Wanwan jumped around Xie Chong: “Daddy, are you hot? Eat some of this, this is shaved ice, it’s all ice inside, and it’s mango-flavored.”
Ice?
Xie Chong took it and looked. It really contained ice, although it was finely crushed.
Eating a bite on this weather was incredibly refreshing.
The people nearby watched with envy.
“General, there’s so much left, can I have a taste too?”
Although General Xie always had a cold expression, those close to him knew that he didn’t easily get angry despite his demeanor, and he was a rare, generous, and just general.
The people around Xie Chong now were all promoted by him personally, and these confidants would also joke with Xie Chong on normal days.
Xie Chong nodded: “Okay.”
And so, a group of people excitedly rushed to grab the food.
“Wanwan, the uncles won’t mind if they eat these, right?”
Qin Wanwan shook her head: “Daddy can’t finish it all.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
“Hey, what material is this cup made of? Is it transparent or soft?”
“It can be used as a cup, but it’s a shame it’s not hard.”
“Slurp…”
“Hey, what is this? It’s sweet and has fruit pieces inside, it’s delicious!”
“Why does mine have a milky taste? It’s not fishy at all. It’s also sweet and ice-cold, very sweet.”
Everyone was quickly conquered by the snacks, milk tea, and ice cream of the day.
Smiles appeared on all their dark faces.
Seeing them happy made Qin Wanwan happy too.
Later, she watched the arena competition below with her daddy.
“Daddy, I’m so hot. On such a hot day, do they still have to train under such a big sun?”
Xie Chong held her, allowing her to see higher and more clearly.
“Yes.”
“Matters of war cannot be neglected. Everyone must continuously improve themselves and become powerful to have a greater chance of surviving the battlefield.”
“Those people, today they might be laughing with their companions, telling stories of their hometown, and tomorrow they might close their eyes forever.”
When he was just a soldier, he had seen too many such things. He had personally watched friends who were alive and well the day before die in battle, and he could never forget those scenes.
If he hadn’t been strong and had some combat skills, he probably would have become a wandering soul on the battlefield like those fallen comrades.
Qin Wanwan hugged his neck.
She felt her daddy’s sadness.
This arena competition of the Border Army lasted for several days.
It included not only hand-to-hand combat but also equestrianism, archery, and team competitions.
Qin Wanwan went to Daddy Xie’s side during the day, always bringing delicious snacks.
In the evening, she went to Daddy Shang’s side; he was very busy.
It was also during this time that the eagle eggs she had bought back in Shangyang City hatched.
Two months had already passed. If she hadn’t felt the life force inside the eggs, Qin Wanwan would have thought they wouldn’t hatch.
Shang Wuyang had even said they were dead eggs and told her to throw them away.
This was because the incubation period for eagles was generally about a month.
The animals at home had grown quite a bit, especially the three wolves, whose changes were the most significant.
They no longer looked so chubby. Their bodies had slimmed down and grown taller and longer. Once their faces matured, they looked exceptionally handsome.
Handsome was a feeling, not exclusive to people.
Qin Wanwan’s three snow wolves were not only the size of adult dogs, but their snow-white fur and blue beastly eyes were incredibly beautiful.
Their hunting was even more beautiful.
On the grassland, the cooperation between the three wolves became increasingly tacit. Now, they could easily catch quite a few prey. Not only could they feed themselves, but they could also bring back prey like wild rabbits.
However, their hunting range was still too small, and they could only catch these smaller prey.
Of course, if we’re talking about the biggest change, it would have to be the snake Qin Wanwan was raising.
“General… the pasture grass really did attract many locusts, so big and fat. The brothers caught quite a few… Oh, my heavens!”
The person who ran over excitedly let out a scream and retreated repeatedly.
This was because in front of him, on the big tree in front of the General’s Mansion, a black snake as thick as their general’s arm lowered its head.
This sudden appearance was truly terrifying, and it was such a large snake.
Following its body, one could see its nearly two-meter-long body coiled around the tree trunk.
Qin Wanwan ran out of the General’s Mansion, and Wolf Fang, holding a wooden basin, came out with her.
“Uncle Lin, you’re here.”
Colonel Lin took a deep breath: “Heh heh, yes, I came to find the General. Wanwan, your Xiao Hei has grown… this big.”
