A few lines have come to an end. How can I think of you alone?
The evening rain has lost its call, and it is too late to fall into the cold pond.
The clouds in Nagisa are dark and the moon is cold.
It may not be possible to meet the enemy, but it is suspicious to fly alone.

…
Bai Fu accepted the order and left.
The messenger was ordered to lead Bai Fu into the scout camp. The messenger handed the arrow to the brigade commander of the scout camp and said: "This is a new scout to supplement the lost personnel of the Lone Eagle Squadron."
Liu Yidao, the brigade commander of the scout battalion, glanced at Bai Fu twice, pulled the messenger aside, and asked in a low voice: "Didn't you tell me? We need a soldier with strong martial arts skills. Why do you send a young man to do a march?"
Sima, just serve as an adviser to the general."
The messenger said: "Don't ask me, I don't know, I'm just following orders.
Old Liu, please stop being so nagging. It’s not like you don’t know Li Shuai’s style of doing things, you are no better than Guo Shuai. Be careful if someone takes advantage of you, and you will engage in military law.”
Brigadier Liu Yidao sighed and sent the messenger away.
Brigadier Liu Yidao walked up to Bai Fu, looked him up and down, and said, "He looks quite handsome, but I don't know how good he is in martial arts. Have you ever learned martial arts?"
Bai Fu nodded and said: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child."
Brigadier General Liu Yidao reprimanded: "Answers to the officer's questions must be concise and to the point.
Asked if you have ever learned martial arts? Just answer yes or not. Why have you been practicing martial arts since you were a child? What are you doing?!"
Bai Fu replied: "Report to the brigade commander, I have studied for two days."
Brigadier Liu Yidao shouted: "Didn't I explain clearly? Be more concise."
Bai Fu said: "Learned it!"
"Louder! You can't hear me clearly!" Brigade Commander Liu Yidao scolded.
Bai Fu straightened his chest and said loudly: "Learned it!"
"Okay, my ears have been deafened by you." Brigadier Liu Yidao rubbed his ears and took out a piece of earwax from his ears with his fingernails.
"Excuse me, General, where is the camp of Lone Eagle Squadron?" Bai Fu asked respectfully.
"Ergou, take him to find the hammer!
By the way, tell Tie Hammer to cook me a roasted dog leg when he comes back tonight, add more spices and less salt. The dog meat last time was very salty."
Brigadier Liu Yidao summoned a soldier and impatiently sent Bai Fu to the soldier. Then he cursed and left.
"Excuse me, where is the Lone Eagle team? How to find him?" Bai Fu asked again.
"They are not in the military camp during the day. If you want to find him now, just come with me." The soldier Ergou smiled honestly and led Bai Fu out of the camp.
…
After walking out of the military camp, the two came to the most lively place in Luoyang - Tianjin Bridge.
On both sides of the river, there are teahouses and restaurants. On both ends of the arch bridge, there are crowds of people, and there is an endless stream of business travelers. There are performers performing tricks, fortune tellers, and doctors hanging pots, making it bustling and noisy.
Ergou led Bai Fu to a moxibustion meat stall and said to the busy stall owner who was sweating profusely: "Chai Ban, this is the new soldier in your team."
The stall owner was roasting mutton and camel hump with red rosewood moxibustion. When he heard the sound, he didn't even look back and said, "Dog, you two sit down first. I'll be ready soon."
After that, he took out a clay pot, grabbed some powder with his hands, sprinkled it on the barbecue, and heard a "sneak" sound. The fire was bright and the smell of meat overflowed, causing passers-by to stop and sniff...
Bai Fu took a closer look and saw that this man was not tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, a square face and a wide mouth, and a pleasant smile. He had quite the style of a shopkeeper.
Bai Fu was stunned and said: "Brother Dog, is this the captain of the Lone Eagle Team?"
Ergou nodded and said: "Well, the big brother is called Iron Hammer. He is a veteran scout. Even our Yidao Brigade Commander is the soldier he brought out."
"Then why do you still come out to do business? Is it to deceive others?" Bai Fu asked.
"Hey, that's not true. Military pay hasn't been paid for several months. Everyone has to support their families.
Scouting is dangerous and hard work, but why are everyone still vying to be a scout? Because the scout camp is relatively free, and during the repair period, you can go out and do some business and make some money." Ergou replied honestly.
Having said that, Ergou was familiar with the situation. He wiped the table, arranged the cups, and poured a bowl of herbal tea for Bai Fu.
…
After grilling the meat skewers in his hand, the stall owner came to the table where the two of them were sitting, wiped his greasy hands on his apron, took Bai Fu's hand, and praised: "This young man is among the best among men. It seems that we
The scout camp needs to turn over!"
Bai Fu was held by a pair of big, greasy hands. He felt indescribably disgusted and couldn't help but feel angry, so he could only give a few vague words of humility.
Bai Fu said: "The team is at its best. I'm here, Bai Fu, come and report."
Tie Chui laughed loudly and said: "Don't be a team leader. When the team leader called me, they all called me Shengfen. They all called me Hammer Ban."
Bai Fu asked: "Hammer Squad, where are the other members of our Lone Eagle Team?"
"They're all in the middle of nowhere like Tianjin Bridge!
Camel, come here and meet our new brother!" The man who was using the bellows to fan the flames for the moxibustion meat rack raised his head, wiped the soot from his face, and ran over.
This man was squatting on the ground inconspicuously just now. Now he stood up, nearly nine feet tall, like an iron tower.
When Luo Tuo saw Bai Fu, he giggled and said angrily: "Hello, big brother." Then he kept scratching his head, not knowing what to say.
Tie Zhui smiled and said: "Don't underestimate my silly brother, Luo Tuo is from Gaochang, and is born with supernatural power. He can weigh more than a kilogram.
Camels have the ability to never get lost, no matter it is a desert, Gobi or grassland. They can find water wherever there is water within a hundred miles radius. So I named him Camel."
When Bai Fu heard this, he suddenly stopped his arrogance and was filled with admiration.
Seeing that Luotuo was finally able to interject when talking about himself, Weng said: "I also have a skill like a camel. After I have a full meal, I can go without eating or drinking for more than half a month, and I can still run thousands of miles."
"
Iron Hammer kicked him and cursed: "Get out of here, how can you brag about this?! You loser, one full meal can cover my food rations for a month."
The camel scratched his head, grinned stupidly, and said, "That's true."
Everyone laughed when they heard this.
Iron Hammer pointed at a bird dealer selling parrots in the distance and said: "His name is 'Eagle Eye'. He is from Mohe and is our number one scout. His eyesight is far better than mine. He can see things more than ten miles away at a glance.
He is also a master of falcon training, and the best falcon in Shuofang's army, Hai Dongqing, was trained by him.
He often boasted that his ancestors were prudent wizards and psychics, and that he could overlook the earth through eagle eyes."
"Oh?" Bai Fu became interested and asked, "What about the result?"
Tie Hammer Meat Skewers drank wine and said vaguely: "It's just so-so, but the mountains and rivers, the number of enemy troops, and the marching route can be roughly described."
After that, the hammer pointed at the hunter who was selling animal skins and bones next to Hawkeye and said: "His name is 'Lynx', he is from Shiwei, and he was a hunter in the Xianbei Mountains before joining the army.
The lynx is the number one eagle shooter in our scout battalion. It is a perfect sniper from a long distance. In addition, it is also particularly good at hunting traps, hunting nets, traps and other traps.
I just said that camels never get lost in the Gobi desert, and lynxes never get lost in the deep mountains and old forests. Going into the mountains is like going home, with food and drink, inexhaustible and inexhaustible."
Bai Fu thought to himself that he was mistaken. It seemed that the Lone Eagle team had many people with super powers.
Bai Fu asked: "Chai Ban, why don't we call everyone by name, but by code name? Is there anything special about it?"
Tie Chui smiled and said: "What's the point? They are all herdsmen, descendants of hunters. They have been called big dogs and dogs since they were young. Idiots call them big dogs like this.
After joining the army, these people have serious names, such as black tiger, eagle, leopard head, etc. They are both majestic and easy to remember."
