Ye Bushou brought all twelve war horses and six corpses back. They worked hard until dawn and were almost discovered by the aliens. The soldiers in the city were very excited. Yizi camp had meat sauce and broth to drink.
Zhang Xiaowu and others overfulfilled the task. Although they brought back very few arrows and weapons, they were even happier because they had more meat. Back in the city, Ye Bushou and others nodded and smiled at each other, thankful that they were still alive, especially when they were slapping each other
Zhang Xiaowu's back showed his admiration for him. The chief who worked late at night said: "Little brother, when we go out of the city from now on, you will be the team leader, and I will help you."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "No."
"Don't be humble."
"What I mean is, if you don't succeed in attacking me, I think you are stupid."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed. It was so funny and helpless to meet such a living treasure.
Luo Zhen asked them to rest in the tent under the city wall for the time being, and then return to their respective barracks when the sky got slightly brighter. They would not be on duty today.
Zhang Xiaowu was exhausted. He didn't care about the smell of blood and death all over his body. He followed everyone into the tent and fell asleep. It seemed that he hadn't slept for long before someone pushed him awake. When he got up, he saw that the sky was dimly lit.
When there was light, I saw Luo Zhen shouting at the top of his lungs: "It's dawn, let's go back to our respective barracks."
Everyone and other comrades returned to their respective barracks, but Zhang Xiaowu, who had just woken up, felt that the stench on his body was really unpleasant, so he fetched a basin of water from the well in the barracks, then stripped himself naked and took a deep shower.
After rubbing for a long time, he couldn't get rid of the bloody smell on his body. More sunlight came out from the eastern horizon. Zhang Xiaowu raised his head and looked up. The sunlight was a little dazzling. He stretched out his hand and let the sunlight shine on his hand. He saw that his hand was actually glowing.
There was a red light, and the gaps between his fingers and nails were covered with dark brown plasma. He first picked out the nails of his right hand with his left hand, and then picked the nails of his left hand with his right hand. After a while, the plasma was peeled off little by little, revealing the blackened nails.
"It's time to cut my nails." He was very satisfied with the results of his nail picking, but suddenly he laughed inexplicably. In his previous life, he lived a very delicate life, but now he is satisfied with such a rough life. Has his desire for life decreased?
A lot more.
Other soldiers had already gotten up. When a veteran saw Zhang Xiaowu naked and taking a bath in the cold weather, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "That boy, you have been working all night, so you can't wash away the body odor."
?”
Zhang Xiaowu replied: "Brother, do you have experience in removing corpse odor?"
The veteran yawned and said with a grin: "There is only one place in Tucheng that can get rid of the corpse odor on your body. I'm afraid you won't dare to go."
Zhang Xiaowu said carelessly: "Why don't you dare? Come and listen to me, senior."
The old soldier laughed sneerly and said: "There is a place in Tucheng called Hongyue Tower. The girls in Hongyue Tower smell good all day long because of the soap and pancreas. They have a rule, they want to sleep
In addition to having money, they have to clean it first.
Otherwise, no matter how rich but smelly a man is, the girls will not be happy to serve you. It’s a pity that they sell their bodies but not their goods. If you don’t sleep with them, they will definitely not give you pancreas to purify you, but if you sleep with them
They are just afraid that they will lose the military pay in their pockets."
Zhang Xiaowu opened his mouth and couldn't laugh or cry. What the hell idea did this old guy come up with to let him go to a brothel? Fortunately, he could tell him - why didn't others tell him earlier? Zhang Xiaowu touched his pocket. Last night outside the city, he
A lot of gold and silver were found in the dead man's pocket. The money should be enough for him to take a bath.
The veteran blinked his eyes and smiled: "Boy, enjoy yourself in time, we can't help ourselves how long we live."
Zhang Xiaowu cupped his hands and said, "Senior, senior, thank you." The old man laughed and went to the toilet. Zhang Xiaowu washed himself several times before going back to the house to catch up on his sleep. As for whether to go to Hongyue Tower or not.
Not important,
His rebirth was already a gift from God. People say that people who have free time love to think wildly. He lay on the kang repeatedly unable to fall asleep, thinking about where he should go in the future. After a while, he actually fell asleep again.
When he woke up, it was already noon. Zhang Xiaowu put on his clothes and trousers, tied his hair into a bun and went out. He saw a few other "nighters" who had gotten up early and were lazily basking in the sun. There was still a burst of heat on their bodies.
They all experienced danger together and dragged back dead horses and camels. We all got acquainted with each other and started talking to each other. Especially Zhang Xiaowu, who had good night vision and was strong, so he did most of the searching work.
What he did, everyone even boasted about it.
One person said: "Whenever you get promoted, don't forget to take care of your brother."
Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said humbly: "I have only been a soldier for half a month, so how can I do anything? Let's be a corps commander first."
"Don't be humble. With your brat's courage, as long as you survive a few days, you can become a captain." An old soldier with a white beard said with a smile, "It is very difficult to get promoted on weekdays, but once the war comes, this
Promotion is easy—as long as you survive."
Zhang Xiaowu asked: "If the whole battalion dies, then wouldn't I become a military commander?"
After not listening to it for a few nights, he burst into laughter. This guy was very brave. He dared to say these things. If Ding Yi found out, he would be stabbed to death with a mace.
Zhang Xiaowu chatted with everyone for a while and then got hungry. He walked slowly to the kitchen of the former capital team to ask about lunch. He saw that the peasants in the kitchen were cutting horse meat to make mince. An old soldier directed everyone to put the best horse meat.
Cut it off and put it aside, saying that these are for adults
Yes, the civilian husband didn’t say anything. Instead, he followed Zhang Xiaowu all night and got angry and said: “These horses were all brought back by us after hard work last night. We didn’t get good food, but we were filial.
I gave it to my lord, what kind of peace of mind do you have?"
Zhang Xiaowu stopped the soldier and advised him: "Stop talking nonsense. If the superior officer hears it, he will kill you. Give it to them and eat it. At worst, next time we divide the meat outside and bring it back." The soldier was unhappy.
, complained: "Why do we have to work so hard to get the meat?"
Gave it to them?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "The blame lies with your ancestors. Your ancestors were just ordinary people if they failed to live up to expectations. If your ancestors worked hard and became nobles, wouldn't you be a general now?" That Renhao said funnyly:
“Is it my ancestor’s fault that He Zhe can’t eat meat today?”
"Yes."
The man smiled sarcastically, but he knew that his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he walked away angrily.
The old soldier in charge of cooking came over and sneered: "That boy doesn't know how to advance or retreat. He deserves to be a top soldier for the rest of his life."
Zhang Xiaowu cupped his hands and said: "Old man, when will you prepare the lunch meal?" Nowadays, there is a shortage of food in the city, and there are only two meals, namely morning meal and noon meal. The morning meal is at the beginning of Sishi (10 am), and the noon meal is at the beginning of Yinshi.
(4 p.m.), and there was an extra meal during the night, called a snack, which was the pancakes they ate last night.
"I know you were busy all night last night, so I prepared bread for you early." The old soldier smiled, and then ordered the peasants to bring the bread and vegetable soup out. The people who had not collected food all night were starving early, so they started eating and drinking.
Zhang Xiaowu was also given two noodles and chatted with others while eating. The biggest advantage of staying up all night is that he can eat more, but the risk is also greater.
While Zhang Xiaowu was eating noodles, he ran to the kitchen and looked around. He saw a lot of viscera thrown on the ground. He couldn't help but ask: "Old man, how do you deal with these viscera?"
The old soldier said: "You are talking about these stinky meat? What else can we do? Feed the pigs and dogs. Those livestock can eat it." The so-called stinky meat refers to the viscera of animals.
Zhang Xiaowu exclaimed: "Feeding pigs? What a pity." You must know that although he was not a Cantonese in his previous life, he also knew that the sewage after cleaning was more delicious than refined meat. Although in his previous life, he ate most pigs and cows
Sheep, I have never eaten horse meat, but I might as well do this
Horse meat was still a dish in the water. He stepped forward, took the knife from the farmer's hand, cut off the horse's heart, pointed at it and said: "This is all meat." He also cut off the horse's liver and said: "
This stuff can be used to make soup to treat night blindness and allow everyone to see clearly at night."
The old soldier gave him a troubled look and said in a low voice: "Military law says you are not allowed to eat smelly meat."
