Chapter 19 Registration for Joining the Army
Tai'an Town is not very far from Zhangjiabao, an hour away, and when Zhang Mo and others came to the town, the staff of the conscription office had not yet gotten off work.
"Fill out the form, take a physical exam, and only sign up after you pass it!" reminded the recruiter.
Zhang Mo and the five of them each picked up a yellow form, and then wrote down their names, genders, and home addresses. Fortunately, Tie Zhu has taught Zhang Mo a lot of Chen Guowen over the years, otherwise it would be ugly to sign up.
Fill out the form, and then the group took off their clothes and prepared to insist, there are not only men but also some women who have signed up at the recruitment office, but there are not many women who have signed up.
The doctors who examine them are also separated, so there is no embarrassment during the physical examination.
I saw that the doctor of the medical examination was holding a magic staff, and the staff emitted this white light, and the person being examined was lying on a wooden bed, and the white light swept from head to tail, and if there were broken bones, the staff would emit a strange light.
If the medical examiner still has questions, the medical officer will directly fill in the three words "unqualified" on the form. If it is just a minor problem, the medical examination will be passed. After all, everyone who signs up for the army is a compulsory soldier, and if they are found to have other diseases after entering the barracks, they can also apply for discharge.
In Chen Guo, those who sign up for the army must first not have bone disabilities, followed by good facial features, and finally height. As long as these three conditions are met, they can enter the barracks.
There was no problem with the results of the physical examination of Zhang Mo and others, and after the physical examination was completed, the five of them successfully obtained the enlistment certificate, and after the New Year, they could enter the barracks with the certificate.
After the registration of the five people ended, it was already evening, and it was impossible to rush back. So the five of them agreed to stay in the town for the night, and then return to the village the next day.
"Zhang Mo, have you brought enough money? We're going to live in town tonight, and we can't do it without money. Zhang Jing had a little money, but it wasn't much, so she reminded.
Zhang Mo has never brought money with him, where did he get the money, and said truthfully: "My father didn't give me money!"
"How many of you?" Zhang Jing asked as she looked at Zhang Cai, Zhang Fei, and Zhang Yong.
"I didn't bring any money!"
"We didn't bring any money either!"
The three of them said with some regret.
Zhang Jing was speechless, "Hey, don't you four go out with any money?" I only have ten copper plates here, and there is no problem in going to the inn to open a room." It's just that after the room is opened, I can only buy another pancake, and you will be hungry at night. ”
Zhang Mo didn't care, and said: "Living in Xiling, I often sleep in the wild, even if there is no room. As for food, I can also find a way to get it, so you don't have to worry about me. ”
"What about the three of you?" Zhang Jing asked rhetorically, looking at the other three.
"I'm hungry and it's fine!" Zhang Cai responded.
Zhang Fei and Zhang Yong also said that it was okay to be hungry.
"Yes, you all share a room with me, but don't rely on me when you're hungry at night. Zhang Jing was speechless, after all, they were all from the same village, and they couldn't really let them sleep on the street.
Zhang Mo said: "Don't worry, I have a way to get you food." ”
"Zhang Mo, don't lie to us, today's dinner will be up to you! I'll go open the room first. Zhang Jing said suspiciously.
Zhang Mo didn't argue, followed Zhang Jing to an inn, and then successfully opened an ordinary guest room. The next five people walked out of the town and then walked towards a place where no one was around.
The town of Tai'an not only has a small road that connects the villages, but also a road that connects the county seat.
Instead of taking the avenue, the five walked towards a trail that they chose led to Hexi Village. This is completely contrary to the direction of Zhangjiabao, but everyone doesn't care.
After a few people walked two miles, Zhang Cai asked impatiently: "Zhang Mo, how far do you have to go? ”
Zhang Mo pointed to the dirt mountain not far away and said, "It should be okay there!"
The four of them were helpless and continued to move forward. After walking another mile, he came to the dirt mountain that Zhang Mo pointed out.
At this time, it was getting late and late, and Zhang Jing, who had no experience in night walking, was a little scared. They didn't dare to walk in front and let Zhang Mo lead the way.
Zhang Mo smiled, didn't care, and came to the top of the earth mountain, he blew a whistle at the sky.
Shout!
Suddenly, two huge birds fell from the sky, and then stopped steadily not far from the five of them.
"Zhang Mo, wasn't it a golden eagle before, and what happened to this one?" Zhang Jing asked with some puzzlement. He didn't have the fear of seeing the golden eagle before, and asked bold questions.
The other three were also very puzzled, looking at Zhang Mo and asking for an explanation.
Zhang Mo said: "I forgot to tell you that it is called Thorn Flower, it is a green scale eagle, and it is also my good friend. I didn't let it come down to meet you before, because I was afraid of scaring you, but now you're used to it, so I let them come down together. ”
"Alright, now that you know each other, our next task is to collect dry firewood, and the two of them will go hunting, and we can just wait for good news. ”
After Zhang Mo finished speaking, Bei Sha and Thorn Flower flew in the direction of Xiling, their speed was extremely fast, and they disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Jing and the others were still in shock, looking at the sky and not reacting.
"What are you still doing in a daze, pick up dry firewood quickly, otherwise how will you barbecue without dry firewood?" Zhang Mo urged.
"Oh! Okay. The four of them came back to their senses and began to collect dry firewood.
There was a lot of dry firewood on this dirt mountain, and soon the five of them found a big push.
Less than half an hour had passed, and two large birds returned with two prey. One is a 200-pound wild boar, and the other is a stupid roe deer. Besha and Thorn Flower ate the stupid roe deer, and then flew into the sky again. They don't want to be seen by other people, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Dinner is here, prepare to make a fire!" Zhang Mo finished speaking, and threw the fire fold to the four people.
He took out the dagger and began to divide the boar. When Zhang Jing and the four of them saw Zhang Mo's skills, they immediately understood that the other party had done this kind of thing.
Soon, Zhang Mo divided five portions of ingredients on the wild boar.
"If you want to eat your own roast, I won't serve you!" After speaking, Zhang Mo tied a big pig's trotter to the regent.
Zhang Jing and the others didn't feel inappropriate, along the way, Zhang Mo carried a long wooden stick on his back, at first they thought that Zhang Mo used it to practice and defend himself, but now it seems that this wooden stick is used to barbecue meat, no wonder it is black on the outside and red on the inside.
The four of them did not have a wooden stick at hand, so they had to replace it with a raw branch.
It is not easy to barbecue, and at this time, Zhang Jing and the four of them understood why Zhang Mo asked everyone to pick up more firewood before, otherwise it would really not be cooked.
Half an hour has passed, and the barbecue is fully cooked. Except for Zhang Mo's barbecue, the barbecue of the other four people was all mushy. But the four of them didn't care, they were all very hungry at this time, even if the roasted meat was eaten in their mouths, it was full of flavor.
Just when the five of them were satisfied with the barbecue, suddenly a carriage came from far and near.
The people in the carriage saw the fire on the dirt mountain from a distance, and they didn't care so much, they went straight to the firelight.
"Well, what a fragrant barbecue!, can you give us some?" said a young girl, followed by an older woman.
"I'm sorry, we finished eating the barbecue!" Zhang Mo got up and responded.
"Why are you so stingy? Don't you still have meat, when we are blind?" asked the older woman, a little angry.
Zhang Mo smiled, "I'm sorry, you just said barbecue, that's why you answered no." As for the meat that is not cooked, you want to eat it yourself!"
"Why do you talk like that, do you know who she is?" said the older woman, a little angry.
The older woman wanted to tell the girl's origins, but was stopped by the younger girl.
Although Zhang Mo has not been in contact with people in the outside world, he has been with Tiezhu for so many years, and naturally understands that he can't be low-key, otherwise he will definitely be looked down upon.
"Neither of you, I begged you to eat, but you yourself came to ask for food. Besides, this is our prey, do you want to eat it with money to buy it?" Zhang Mo did not give face at all because the other party was a girl. After all, in this barren mountains and mountains, food is only available to their family.
When the girl saw that the other party was asking for money, she immediately smiled: "Hehe, it turned out to be a little money fan, let's say, how much money is willing to help us barbecue?"
Zhang Mo pointed a finger deep, and the older girl asked, "A silver coin?"
Zhang Mo wanted to say a copper plate, but the other party would be wrong, and he actually said a silver coin, which made him understand that the person who came turned out to be a local tyrant, and immediately said: "Wrong, it's a gold coin!"
"What? Why don't you go and grab it? How much is a gold coin, have you ever seen it?" asked the older girl, a little unconvinced.
"Hmph, do you like to eat it, I don't want to roast it if you don't eat it!" Zhang Mo replied indifferently.
The older girl wanted to argue, but the young girl walked up, "This young man, depending on you, a gold coin is a gold coin!"
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "Girl, I'm talking about one gold coin per person! If there is, I'll give you a barbecue now." ”
The young girl didn't argue with Zhang Mo, took out two gold coins from the bag around her waist, and handed them to the other party.
"Shaoxia, these are two gold coins, please help us barbecue meat!" the young girl pleaded.
Zhang Mo took the gold coin and said with a smile: "Count you as acquaintances! Roast the fire first, and I will roast meat for you." ”
The two girls gathered around the bonfire to roast the fire, which made Zhang Jing and the four people on the side drool. It's so beautiful, although the older girl is not as good as the younger girl, but it is not comparable to the average girl.
The older girl was wearing a cyan long skirt with colorful silk embroidered edges, looking like a Qingxia fairy descending to earth. The young girl wore a long white dress, the skirt was embroidered with colorful orchids, and the gold silk embroidered edges, looking like a fairy from Baixia.
Where have Zhang Jing and the four of them seen such beauties, staring at the two women one by one, as if they could never get enough.
"Hey, have you seen enough? Look at me gouging out your eyes. The woman in Tsing Yi said with some annoyance. After all, a girl is stared at like this, and the whole person feels uncomfortable.
"No! I haven't seen enough! It's beautiful. Zhang Cai said truthfully.
However, the other three had already come back to their senses, and when they saw that Zhang Cai was still looking at the second daughter obsessively, they hurriedly kicked him to bring him back to normal.
The girl in white giggled as if she didn't care. It wasn't the first time she'd seen this happen, but the people who had stared at her before had their eyes gouged out.
Zhang Jing's eyes are still well preserved, and that's because the reinforcements of the second daughter have not yet arrived. This time the two of them had snuck away, so the guards weren't there.
These two daughters are the princesses and maids of the Chen royal family. The person wearing white is Princess Chen Xiuwen, and the person wearing green clothes is the maid Qiulan.
Zhang Mo quickly divided the meat, and then skewered the meat with a skewer.
"You use such thick sticks to grill meat?" asked Xiuwen, puzzled. There was also barbecue in the palace, but she had never seen the cook use such a rude method.
"Otherwise, I like to roast like this, if you don't think it's okay, you can come by yourself!" Zhang Mo didn't give the other party any face, which made Qiulan on the side unbearable.
She secretly said in her heart: "Wait until we are full, see how I clean you up!"
