Chapter 1490 Pretending to Be Asleep

“If you sprout any more nonsense, I’ll rip out your tongue! Do you still want to eat pickled cuc.u.mbers! Next time I bring pickled cuc.u.mbers, don’t come crying and asking me for them!” Xia Zhe threatened.

Finding a wife was not as important as eating Qiao Mei’s pickled cuc.u.mbers. He did not even know when he would find a wife! However, if he wanted to eat pickled cuc.u.mbers, he could always ask Xia Zhe to bring some over.

“Then tell me why! I’m just curious!” Zhao Wu said.

“Her name is He Mei and she’s not a local. She’s from the capital and she has some… enmity with my family. Back then, she almost caused your sister-in-law to suffer from a miscarriage. I won’t tell you in detail what happened, but do you still think she’s a good person?” Xia Zhe whispered.

“What the h.e.l.l! This woman is so vicious! How dare she harm my sister-in-law! I must teach her a lesson!” Zhao Wu rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go and teach He Mei a lesson when Xia Zhe quickly stopped him.

“Are you stupid? That’s a long time ago. Besides, do you think I didn’t do anything then? This issue is over. If you want to find a wife, ask your sister-in-law to look out for you in the capital. Don’t fall for just anyone on the street,” Xia Zhe said disdainfully.

Zhao Wu lowered his head happily and ate his meal. Just thinking about it made him happy, so he went to take another big bowl of rice.

When the local troops heard that Xia Zhe’s team had arrived, they immediately arranged for their military doctors to come over and help treat the injured and sick soldiers. Their leader’s name was Du Jun. This person was very crafty and treated everyone differently. He was a very unpredictable person.

It was said that Du Jun liked to take credit for things and was always willing to do everything he could to get some benefits. He belonged to the category of people who were opportunists.

Even though Du Jun came over personally, Xia Zhe did not take the initiative to go and welcome him. He had never cared about such things. In the past, when Zhang Yong and Zhuang Hua were around, they were the ones who made these types of arrangements. Now that the two of them were not with Xia Zhe and Zhao Wu was a simple person, no one greeted Du Jun.

“Um… where’s your battalion commander?” Du Jun asked awkwardly.

“He’s probably resting in the camp at the back. We’re not too sure either,” a young soldier said.

Xia Zhe had kept watch last night and stayed with the injured soldiers until dawn. He had just returned to the tent to rest, but was woken up by Du Jun’s arrival not long after.

“Is your Commander Xia inside? I want to meet him,” Du Jun said politely.

The soldier guarding the door was Xia Zhe’s trusted aide. Everyone called him Xiao Jian and he was a new joiner this year who had been personally promoted by Xia Zhe.

“Yes, but he just finished his work and is taking a rest. It’s not convenient for him to see you now,” Xiao Jian said in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing.

“Not convenient? We’re all men. What’s so inconvenient about it? I’ll go in and take a look.” Du Jun ignored the explanation and wanted to barge into Xia Zhe’s tent.

At this moment, Xia Zhe had already woken up, but he did not intend to open his eyes. Instead, he continued to lie on the bed and pretended to snore. Xiao Jian knew that Xia Zhe was very quiet when he slept and he did not snore. He stood at the side and secretly pursed his lips and smiled.

Du Jun walked to Xia Zhe’s bed and looked him up and down for a long time, but he did not know how to wake him up. In that case, he would let Xia Zhe sleep. He would interrogate Xia Zhe when he woke up later and ask him for a proper apology.

Xiao Jian led Du Jun out of the tent and Xia Zhe went back to sleep comfortably without any worries.

It was only at night that Xia Zhe received the news that Du Jun had taken the liberty to stay in their camp, saying that he intended to stay with them until Xia Zhe left. He was determined to share the hards.h.i.+ps with the soldiers in the field.

“Do you think he’s stupid? Why must he make things difficult for us?” Zhao Wu said in exasperation.

“Then what can you do? Are you going to find a few people to carry him in the middle of the night and throw him out?” Xia Zhe said impatiently.

Zhao Wu’s eyes lit up. That was such a good idea!

“I’ll arrange for a few people to come over now! I’ll definitely do this beautifully and flawlessly!” Zhao Wu said confidently.

“I think you’re a little sick in the head too! Do you think he sleepwalks in the middle of the night! How can you do it flawlessly? Just let him stay here. At this juncture, I can’t be bothered to argue with him. I want to return to the capital as soon as possible,” Xia Zhe said helplessly.
