Qin Xiao had no idea that there was such a special tiger-suppressing stone in Baihu Camp.
"It is said that when the camp was built, the old Marquis personally ordered people to carry it and put it under the camp flag." Guo Wang said: "I heard that it took three strong men to lift it and put it there.
On the first day, the old Marquis said that anyone who can afford to carry the Tiger Suppressing Stone, regardless of body shape or origin, can directly join the camp."
"Is it okay if you can afford to move it?"
Guo Wang said hurriedly: "No, it is said that it has to be moved many times, not just once." After thinking about it, he said a little apologetically: "But I don't know how many times it has to be moved. Anyway, I only know that since the Zhenhu Stone
After that, no one moved the tiger-suppressing stone into the camp." As soon as he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed. Qin Xiao turned around and saw He Duizheng standing not far away, looking coldly.
Look here.
Qin Xiao originally thought that thanks to Yu Wenchengchao's introduction, he would always receive some care after entering the camp, but to his surprise, he was assigned to the horse stable.
Although he only stayed here for less than a day, he felt very uncomfortable.
It's not that he is afraid of hardship.
Qin Xiao never cared about hardship. He had enough resilience and perseverance to face the difficult environment, but he didn't like the atmosphere here.
Even in the Duwei's Mansion, he was in charge of the Jia-zi prison. He could not do whatever he wanted, but he was still very free. Moreover, other brothers in the yamen treated him well, and with Meng Zimo's care, he lived a practical life in the past few years.
It's quite comfortable.
But in this small horse stable, there are not many people, but some people are very powerful.
I don’t know if Captain He has kowtowed too much to outsiders, so he always had to show his majesty in the one-third of an acre of land that belonged to him in the stable.
At this time, he stood there and stared at Qin Xiao, making Qin Xiao feel that the guy was like a supervisor. He especially didn't like this feeling.
"You've just been here for a day and you're thinking about the Tiger Suppressing Stone?" He Duizheng obviously heard the conversation between the two. He walked over with his hands behind his back and looked at Qin Xiaodao: "If you can lift the Tiger Suppressing Stone, this frame of horse materials
I ate them all.”
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "The team is joking."
"I'm not joking." Captain He said with a cold face: "Wang Xiao, I'm going to tell you the truth so that you can stop worrying." He raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the camp flag: "The Zhenhu Stone is over there, if you
If you can move the tiger-suppressing stone thirty times, you can directly become a soldier. From now on, you will not have to work in this horse yard. If you really have this idea someday, just go, the barracks has regulations, if anyone is willing to move the tiger-suppressing stone
No one dares to stop the Tiger Stone, but if you want to move the Tiger Stone, you have to think clearly. If you can't move it, it doesn't matter if you become the joke of the entire barracks, but don't make the horse stable the laughing stock."
Qin Xiao felt funny and thought to himself, isn't the horse stable the butt of a joke?
It's not that he is discriminating against the horse stable, it's just that it's just a place that no one cares about, but He Duizheng still feels superior to others, which is really funny.
"Do you want to go?" Captain He was still pointing to the camp flag.
Qin Xiao just smiled and said nothing.
"If you don't have that ability, just do your duty honestly." Captain He said with a cold face: "Wang Xiao, there are military regulations in the barracks and there are also rules in the horse stable. You'd better stick to your duties here. If you really break the rules,
, I can't spare you." He pointed at the forage and said, "What are you doing standing there, why don't you cut it quickly? Woah woah, you will be punished tonight too."
Guo Wang lowered his head and agreed, and He Duizheng snorted coldly, turned around and left with his hands behind his back.
Guo Wang didn't dare to delay any longer, so he kept to himself and didn't even dare to talk to Qin Xiao anymore.
Although Qin Xiao didn't care about He Duizheng, he didn't want to implicate Guo Wang because of himself.
Although Guo Wang did not dare to speak, every time he went to pour out the chopped horse feed, he would help Qin Xiao pour it out. He was holding a basket in one hand and was quite relaxed.
As they approached, Qin Xiao stretched out and asked Guo Wang, "Brother Guo, where is the latrine? I want to go there for convenience."
Guo Wang hurriedly pointed in one direction: "Exit the door, turn right, and after walking for a while, you will see a thatched hut with thatched straw inside."
The barracks has quieted down, and except for the patrol soldiers on night duty, most people have gone to bed.
The lights in the barracks at the horse feedyard had also been turned off long ago. Qin Xiao got up and moved his body. After cutting horse feed all night, his arms were a little sore and his buttocks even felt a little raw when he sat. He suspected that he had been working in the horse feedyard all year round.
Do these people who are sitting and cutting materials have calluses on their buttocks?
After leaving the horse stable, I walked a short distance to the right according to the location pointed by Guo Wang, and I saw a thatched hut. Before I even got close, a smell hit my nostrils.
The barracks are all men, and the huts come and go every day, so the smell is naturally not good.
When I walked to the hut, I almost couldn't bear it. I looked back and suddenly saw a few black figures moving not far away under the night cover, and they seemed to be heading towards the hut.
He didn't pay attention at first. After all, people have three urgent needs, and it's not strange for someone to go to the latrine. However, the subsequent reactions of those people really made Qin Xiao feel a little strange.
When he turned back, the figures did not continue to come this way, and one figure even fell to the ground, looking a little flustered.
Qin Xiao frowned, understood something instantly, and quickly walked into the hut.
Seeing Qin Xiao entering the hut, the figures quickened their pace and almost ran to the side of the hut. The one in front was Geng Hong, who had just been taught a lesson by Qin Xiao during the day. Behind him were three men, each carrying a
Holding a wooden stick.
Geng Hong held the stick in both hands and raised it high, facing the door of the hut, with a fierce look on his face.
Soon, he saw a figure in the latrine appear in front of the door. Before he could go out, Geng Hong had already roared, and hit the wooden stick in his hand without hesitation. He was about to hit the shadow, but he saw a hand.
He reached out and grabbed the stick easily. Before Geng Hong understood what was going on, he felt the stick tighten. He held on to the stick tightly without letting go, and his whole body was instantly pulled in along with the stick.
The three people outside were all startled. One of them was smarter and realized something was wrong. He whispered: "It's not good." He rushed into the latrine with a stick.
The remaining two people looked at each other and were about to rush in, but they heard a voice coming from inside: "Help...Help...!"
"It's Brother Hong!" One person said in silence. Before he could think about it, he saw Qin Xiao walking out of the hut. Without thinking, the man yelled and hit Qin Xiaolin's head with the wooden stick in his hand.
Before the stick hit Qin Xiao on the head, the man felt a sharp pain in his abdomen. Qin Xiao had already arrived first and punched the man hard in the lower abdomen.
The man felt as if his internal organs had been beaten to pieces. As soon as he loosened his grip, the wooden stick fell out of his hand, and he covered his abdomen and collapsed.
As soon as the wooden stick fell, Qin Xiao grabbed it with his hand and turned around quickly. The wooden stick was already pointed at the remaining big man.
When the big man saw Qin Xiao's razor-like eyes staring at him, his heart froze, his hands softened, and the wooden stick in his hand fell from his hands. He forced a smile and said: "It turns out...it's Brother Wang.
,I...we didn’t know it was you...!”
Qin Xiao also recognized that the man in front of him was also a handyman in the horse yard.
There were endless cries for help in the latrine, but they had already alerted the patrolling soldiers nearby. A group of soldiers rushed over quickly, and the first one said sternly: "Who is it? What's going on?" He saw Qin Xiao holding a wooden stick in his hand, and there were other things beside him.
One person was rolling on the ground holding his stomach and suddenly pulled out a knife.
Qin Xiao turned his head and saw the patrolmen looking at him coldly. He smiled, pointed at the latrine and said, "Someone accidentally fell into the manure pit. Let's bring a stick to save him."
"Fell into a manure pit?" the patrol leader was startled.
At this moment, I saw someone running over in a hurry. Before the person arrived, he had already handed over his hands and said with a smile: "Brothers, it's nothing important, they are our own people." It was He Duizheng.
The latrine was still shouting for help, and Team He asked Qin Xiao and the handyman, "Why don't you go in and save people? What are you doing here?"
Qin Xiao handed the wooden stick to the handyman and said: "I am too weak and they are too heavy. I can't pull them up. You go ahead."
The handyman did not object, took the stick, covered his nose and got into the latrine.
Not long after, I saw the handyman rushing out. After running a few steps, he was bent over and vomiting. From the hut, two people walked out one after another, with their hands open. As soon as the two people came out, a smell of excrement filled the air.
, everyone stepped back and distanced themselves from these two people.
Geng Hong and the handyman who rushed into the latrine were covered in feces, and even his face was covered in dirt, making it difficult to see his appearance.
Everyone covered their noses, and the patrol leader asked Captain He: "Are they all your people?"
"Yes, yes!" Captain He hurriedly raised his hands and said, "I'm disturbing the brothers."
"Hurry up and deal with it." The leader dropped a word and led his men to leave in a hurry.
Captain He was waiting for the patrol to leave, and then he looked over with a cold face. When he saw Geng Hong's appearance, he covered his nose and stared at Qin Xiao: "Is it you who did this?"
"Captain, you should ask them why they came to the latrine at this time." Qin Xiao also covered his nose and replied.
"People have three urgent needs. Is it wrong for them to enter the hut?"
"Of course there is nothing wrong with four people coming to the hut together." Qin Xiao said: "But why are they each carrying a wooden stick? Team, the rules of the horse stable, do you need to carry a stick when entering the hut?"
Geng Hong was trembling all over and pointed at Qin Xiao and said: "Captain, it's him, he... he ambushed us in the hut, he caused trouble during the day, and at night... he made trouble for us again at night, we must not be spared lightly.
Got him."
"Commander, he ambushed us." The man next to him immediately said: "On the first day when I entered the stable, I was so reckless. I will do it again... in the future."
"Did you hear everything?" Captain He looked at Qin Xiao coldly: "If one person says it's your fault, it's not certain. If several people say it's your fault, then it must be your fault."
Qin Xiao stared into He Duizheng's eyes and his face darkened.
Tonight, Geng Hong led his men to sneak attack on him while he was in the latrine. Naturally, he was well prepared. Otherwise, it was so late at night, and these guys would have been asleep long ago.
He didn't know if He Duizheng knew about it in advance, but at this moment he was obviously favoring Geng Hong, which made Qin Xiao very unhappy.
He knew very well in his heart that both He Duizheng and the people in the horse feedyard led by Geng Hong had regarded him as an enemy. If he continued to stay in the horse feedyard, these people would surely press him step by step.
, the bullying of oneself will only become more and more serious.
If Qin Xiao had a submissive character, he could only be like Guo Wang and let this group of people bully him.
Unfortunately he is not.
Qin Xiao is usually very kind to others, but since he was sensible, he has never allowed anyone to ride on his head and bully him at will.
"If it's my fault, how will Captain punish me?" Qin Xiao asked, staring into He Captain's eyes.
Captain He said coldly: "You won't be able to eat all day tomorrow. Also, you must work all the time without rest until midnight tomorrow night." After thinking for a while, he added: "There is a stable in the horse stable.
The rules are, you still have to receive ten lashes, go back now to receive your punishment."
Qin Xiao sighed and said: "I haven't eaten anything today. If I continue to starve tomorrow, I won't have the strength to work. Then you will find reasons to continue to starve me. In the end, I am afraid that I will starve to death. Also,
, your rules have never been my rules. My rules are very simple. If I don’t agree, no one can touch me.”
"Wang Xiao, do you know who you are?" He Duizheng sneered: "This is the White Tiger Camp, and you are from the horse yard. If you disobey me, it is disobedience. You know that in the military camp, disobedience is
What will happen?"
Qin Xiao smiled faintly, ignored him, turned around and left.
"Stop, where are you going?" He Duizheng saw that Qin Xiao didn't take him seriously at all. He was furious and shouted sternly: "Stop for me."
"Isn't there a stone?" Qin Xiao said calmly without looking back, "I'm going to see how heavy the stone is. He Duizheng, the horse stable can't accommodate me. I want to change places."
He Duizheng opened his mouth, but no words came out. Geng Hong didn't care about being covered in excrement and said in surprise: "Stone, Duizheng, what stone is he talking about?"
"Tiger Suppressing Stone!" Captain He was looking at Qin Xiao's back coldly: "This kid is crazy, he actually wants to move the Tiger Suppressing Stone!"
