"Don't make any noise, this game is considered a draw." The veteran with the scar on his face hurriedly came out to talk to him.
When he shouted, the hut became quiet.
Everyone's eyes fell on the innocent face of Ren Ning in the middle.
Tieguai Li came over and looked at him up and down with interest, "The young man is not bad looking. What is his name, how old is he, and where is he from?"
Ren Ning was slightly startled, then he cupped his hands and replied: "Back to the old general. This kid, Ren Ning, is seventeen years old. He is from Xingluo. He grew up in the imperial capital."
"Xingluo is good." Tieguai Li smiled broadly, as if he didn't hear what Ren Ning said behind him, "When the old man was young, he was pulled out of dead bodies by Xingluo's brothers several times."
He thought about it for a while, then turned to look at the military uniform on Ren Ning: "Seventeen, you have become a personal guard at a young age. My little brother has a bright future."
"Are you engaged?" His expression was even more cordial.
"This..." Ren Ning looked strange.
There's something wrong with this style of painting.
Boom!
The one-eyed dragon on the opposite side slammed the machete in his hand.
He sarcastically said, "Li Guaizi, are you proposing to your eldest granddaughter again?"
"Don't bother. Don't you think it's despicable to use your eldest granddaughter's old girl to harm my little brother Ren?"
"Go, go, go." Tieguai Li didn't know him as well, but still looked at Ren Ning with a smile.
"Although my eldest granddaughter is a bit older, her appearance is top-notch in her hometown. And as the saying goes, a female junior holds a gold brick. The older she is, the more painful she will be..."
cough!
Ren Ning coughed and interrupted Tieguai Li's ramblings.
"Thank you, old general, for your kindness. I'm already engaged. So..."
Nowadays, it is common for girls to talk about marriage as soon as they have haircuts. Even Ren Ning's concubine Ren Xi was betrothed when she was just thirteen.
And Tieguai Li's eldest granddaughter is already a "junior girl", so there are at least twenty.
A girl of this age who hasn't married yet still claims to have first-rate looks. Tieguai Li's words are hard to believe.
Ha ha.
The one-eyed dragon patted Ren Ning's shoulder happily.
"It is said that a good man must start a family first and then a career. The young man really has a future. I don't give some people half any hope."
He stretched out his hand and said, "Bring me the list of souls to be sent."
The fuss had already delayed a lot of time, so Ren Ning quickly handed over the extracted list.
The one-eyed dragon waved and took Ren Ning to the sand table, "Do you know where the sand table is?"
"I admit it." Ren Ning was surprised.
The sand table in front of you is very exquisitely made, almost every slope and ditch of Xiaotian Garden is scaled down and then piled up and molded.
As he watched, Ren Ning's eyes flashed.
Compared with the graffiti-like "map" in the hands of the three patriarchs of Kailun, the exquisite sand table in his eyes is thousands of times more accurate.
As expected, one side is military and the other side is civilian.
The difference is huge and extremely obvious.
"Li Minggui, from Xingluo County, number 540385." The one-eyed dragon looked at the first name on the list and muttered.
"Boy Ren, watch out! I'll teach you how to find Li Minggui's grave."
"The first five in the number represents the fifth hill. One, two, three, four, five, that is this hill."
"Understood." Ren Ning looked at the numbers of the hills on the sand table and nodded quickly.
"The second digit of the number represents the direction, that is, southeast, northwest, and the fourth digit represents the northern area."
"That's it." Ren Ning suddenly realized.
"The three or four digits in the number represent the row number of the cemetery. Counting from top to bottom, Li Minggui's number is zero three, which is the third row."
"The last two digits are the number of the grave. There is no need for the old man to say more."
"Understood." Ren Ning nodded and quickly memorized the numbers of each hill.
After a while, he asked a few more questions to make sure he understood everything, then thanked the veterans in the room and left the hut.
Before going out, Tieguai Li chased after him.
"Brother Ren, you are just engaged but not married. Do you really not want to consider my eldest granddaughter? She is both talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and gifted, and has a generous dowry. As long as you consider..."
Ren Ning didn't listen anymore and ran away quickly.
There were several more groups of fortress soldiers outside the house.
Everyone stared at him who had just come out of the hut, their eyes full of curious inquiry.
cough.
Ren Ning coughed and walked to his Xingluo people as if he didn't see anything, "Lei Er hasn't come back yet?"
"not yet."
"The road is a bit far and it will take some time."
"It should be soon. Lei Er's horse is called Ben Lei, and it's also a good horse. It won't take long to get there and back."
Just talking
Ta-ta-ta.
The rapid sound of horse hooves sounded.
Ren Ning turned around and looked.
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
Lei Er led a group of people and ran towards the mountain quickly.
After meeting each other, the people brought by Lei Er took the unconscious Gu Qishui and the ten Yingchuan soldiers into custody without any reason, and turned around and returned to the fortress.
"Come here, everyone."
Ren Ning led Gu Datou and the others to a place with few people. He took down a branch and drew a map on the ground.
Without the effort of two cups of tea, he had completely drawn a map of Xiaotian Garden. Even the hills were numbered one by one.
"Awesome." Lei Er got another piece of mutton from nowhere. He raised his thumb while chewing it and expressed his approval to Ren Ning.
Like Ren Ning, he is a personal guard of the forward general Guan Luping. They usually train together, and the two of them have become familiar with each other after a few months.
During the training, except for his archery skills, Lei Er didn't see anything outstanding about Ren Ning. At this moment, he saw that he couldn't draw this map alone.
Ren Ning didn't know what Lei Er was thinking. He explained the coding rules of the Cyclops in detail.
"Do you understand everything? If you understand, let's pick a name and go dig the grave. Make sure the grave is dug big and deep, and all the bones and relics of the brothers have to be collected."
He said: "Get moving, it's time to work. If you clean up quickly and it's still early, you can go to the nearby villages for a stroll."
Several people became excited upon hearing this, but no one moved.
Especially Gu Datou.
He kept trying to get out of the fortress, just because he wanted to get some food for his beloved horse from the nearby family village.
"Old Ren, I don't know how to read." He scratched his bare head anxiously.
"That's right." Others nodded, "The number above knows people, but we know it."
Ren Ning burst into tears.
He forgot about it for a moment.
Fortunately Lei Er pointed to the last name.
"Jiang Tiansheng, number 932654. This one is the farthest. I'll go."
Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Go ahead. Don't make any mistake."
"When the bell rings in the evening, remember to return to the fortress." He reminded.
Ha ha.
"I know." Lei Er smiled.
He figured out the direction, picked up the mutton in his mouth, carried the hoe, got on his horse and walked away gracefully.
"I'll take you there." Ren Ning looked at the number in his hand, "Everyone, please do whatever you want."
"That's good." Everyone smiled happily, they were waiting for Ren Ning's words.
Because there are horses to travel with, it is not difficult to travel.
Soon only Ren Ning was left in the group, riding Zhui Feng and running towards the last tomb.
The eighth hill is quite remote.
After going round and round, Ren Ning finally found his goal.
A tomb that looks old.
The mound of soil was almost blown away by the wind. If it weren't for a number carved on the stone next to it, Ren Ning would not have dared to recognize it for a while.
He glanced at the paper in his hand.
It says that the owner of this tomb died in the war more than three years ago. It is only now that he is ready to be sent back to his hometown.
Excavation.
Ren Ning raised his hoe and started digging.
After an unknown amount of time, he was picking up a white bone from the pit and his ears moved.
Not far away, two soldiers digging a grave suddenly dropped their hoes, drew their weapons, and rushed toward him viciously.
However, before the two of them took a few steps, they were surrounded by many people who appeared out of nowhere.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
After a fierce clash of weapons, the surroundings quickly returned to calm.
