As the end of the year approaches, all the markets in Liangzhou City are bustling. Many families are mobilizing to go out to buy New Year’s goods together.

For some families, they may be able to relax their hands and feet and spend money just once a year.

There is a special place at the east end of Liangzhou City. The houses are neat and uniform, and even the layout and placement are exactly the same. It does not seem to be built by ordinary people themselves, but rather it is built by the government.

"Young man, where is the man? I'm going home for dinner!"

"Hey, you little bastard, run slowly and be careful to fall!"

Smoke rose up, people were clamoring, and the long streets were filled with fireworks.

Looking around, there are almost all men here, some old or middle-aged, few young people, but many children.

This place is called Veteran Lane by the people of Liangzhou City, because almost all the people living here are not local people from Liangzhou City, but the veterans and wounded soldiers who retired from the army.

The border has been fighting for many years, and countless people have retreated due to injuries in the border army.

Some soldiers have no family members and have nowhere to go after being injured and retreat. If they let them wander outside, they will feel unbearable.

So Song Zhilu and Chenyue came up with a good idea to transform a wasteland at the east end of the city into a residential area, allowing these veterans to live there. Over time, many orphans in the city also gathered here.

The veterans were bored alone, and some adopted orphans in the city. Gradually, a unique scenery in Liangzhou City was formed here, with only men and women almost no one seeing them.

In fact, life here is no different from other places. People with strength can go out to do some short-term work and earn some money for alcohol.

Those who were seriously injured and disabled were lying on the bed, and the government's assistance was enough for them to have a bowl of full meals.

To be honest, during the years when Chen Yue was in charge of Beiliang, he treated veterans and wounded soldiers very favorably, and won praise from the people among the people.

More than ten years ago, you lost your legs and arms because of war, but no one cared about you. Even if you starved to death on the street, the government would probably not look at you more.

There is no way. The court does not allocate silver to the border, and even if it is willing to help, it is powerless.

Somewhere in the streets, an old man in his fifties was lying on a bamboo chair, his right leg was empty, leaving only one left leg.

"Hmph~"

The old man was swaying his left leg and humming a small song in his mouth, and he looked pretty good.

I've been getting used to this leg for so many years.

The old man looked into the house from time to time, and the smell of food floated out of the house, and the old man swallowed his saliva every once in a while.

"Erniu, is that okay?"

"It's so soon!"

"I'm hungry, my stomach is roaring. You guys want to starve me to death."

"What a hurry, Old Li, the meal is ready, come on!"

A middle-aged man walked out with a wooden plate, muttering in a whisper.

There were two bowls of rice on the wooden plate, and several delicious home-cooked side dishes, all of which were vegetables and the like.

For things like meat, only those who are willing to eat during festivals and festivals.

Seeing the middle-aged man limping, his legs seemed to be inconvenient.

The old man approached the dish bowl and sniffed it, giving a thumbs up and sniffed:

"Erniu, your craft was really useless when you entered the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. You asked me to tell me that you should go to the imperial kitchen in the capital to cook for the emperor, so that he could also taste the skills of our Beiliang."

Although there is no meat, the few side dishes are still full of color, fragrance and taste, which makes the old man drool.

"Come on, you should eat old things and cook for the emperor?

Even if he invites me, I don’t care. It’s almost the same to go to our Liang Palace to cook.”

The middle-aged man looked contemptuous and picked up his bowl and started to swallow it. It seemed that he was very hungry.

The old man's surname is Li, and he used to be an old soldier in the camp. If he talks about fighting, he probably has a lot of battles he fought.

He has been to southern Xinjiang, outside the pass, and Liaodong.

The old man lost one leg during the Battle of Liao. If he had not been treated in time, his life would have been thrown in Liaodong.

It is a blessing in disgrace to be able to save one's life now.

Compared with many comrades who buried their bones in foreign lands, the old man is very content.

The middle-aged man's nickname is Erniu. He joined the army and was also in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. The veteran happened to be his tenth husband at that time.

During the Liangyan Battle two years ago, the middle-aged man with a relatively agile figure accidentally caught a rush arrow. Since then, his legs have become lame and he can no longer ride a war horse, so he withdrew from the army.

Erniu had no relatives at home and was an orphan since childhood. After quitting the army, he came to Liangzhou City to find Lao Li.

On weekdays, Erniu went out to do some short-term work, buy some vegetables, and the government paid the money, so the two of them could live a life of a life of each other, and they felt like they were dependent on each other.

Seeing that Erniu didn't respect him, Old Li said with a thunderous face:

"Oh, your wings are hard, right? I remember when you dared to join the army, I overturned you with one kick. Why didn't you be tough at that time?"

Although Lao Li is old, his heart is not old at all.

To this day, he still remembers Erniu's stupid appearance when he first joined the army, and he looked like an honest guy.

Erniu grinned:

"Hehe, didn't you beat you at that time? Now we just want to beat you, but we can't bear to take action~"

"Tsk~"

Old Li took two mouthfuls of rice, and before he could swallow it, he continued:

"I remember that I was also a famous stalker in the South Xinjiang Road. Not to mention the top stalkers, but like the Fuzhou rebels, it would be fine to fight three of them.

Don’t look at you being younger than me, if my legs are still there, you will definitely hold your hand and pinch it down.

…”

The old man's mouth began to chatter and began to talk about the war he had experienced.

Erniu listened to Zhang with a smile, but he didn't answer. I don't know how many times the old man said these achievements, but he just couldn't get tired of listening.

The only fun for the old man now is to brag about his past achievements with his fellow comrades from various armies in the streets. Whoever kills more barbarians and takes the position as a senior official, anyway, he is still idle.

With comrades with them, their lives will not be so boring.

Erniu continued to smile and said, "Yes, the one who was on the battlefield back then was a good gun. Who wouldn't give a thumbs up when he saw it?

I have heard that the gun on the head is the fastest among all the tiger and leopard cavalry, and even Yan Shuai can't compete with you."

"That's right, my gun is so fast..."

As soon as he was halfway through his words, the old man realized something and immediately knocked on Erniu's head with chopsticks:

"I've turned against you, and I dare to arrange me!"

"Hahaha!"

Erniu, who was hit by the forehead, burst into laughter and even the rice grains in his mouth almost spurted out.

"Have you bought New Year's goods? It's New Year's Eve in two days, so we have to live a good life~" Old Li gave him a blank look and looked at the street entrance.

Erniu nodded and said:

"I bought it. I had two fish from the government at home. In the morning, I went to the west end of the city to buy a large piece of pork, plus two pots of green ants. When it was New Year's Eve, I would stir-fry a few special side dishes and cut a pound of braised beef. Let's have a good meal."

After all, he was a young and powerful man. In the blink of an eye, Erniu was already making a second bowl of rice. If he hadn't been a lame leg, it would be no problem to go to the battlefield with his body.
