Chapter 70: Little Soldier Lu Yun (I)

When Wang Baoshan returned to the barracks, it was already afternoon. He didn't plan to tell anyone about the series of bizarre events that happened in the forest behind the house. Of course, even if he did, it is estimated that few people would believe his words.

After leaving Jin Ling'er and Miss Mochizuki, he walked back in a daze, and at this time, looking at the barracks, Liu Qing was leading the soldiers to practice, and after saying hello to them, he hid in the barracks where he slept.

With so much going on, he should also take a good rest. But as soon as he was about to lie down, Liu Qing came over and told him: Someone from the Zhongjun Hall came in the morning and asked him why he didn't go to today's morning meeting, did he not sleep well last night?

When Wang Baoshan heard this, he immediately remembered that when the celebration banquet ended last night, Wang Qiang did say that he would have a morning meeting today to discuss the arrangement of the miners.

There were so many things that happened in the morning, he had long forgotten about it, and now that Liu Qing mentioned it, he couldn't take a break, so he had to let Liu Qing follow him and rush to the Zhongjun Hall together.

When he arrived at the Zhongjun Hall, Wang Baoshan found that the huge hall was empty, only a soldier with a broom was cleaning in front of the hall.

Seeing that it was Lu Yun who he knew before, he asked, "Brother Lu, is he in charge?"

"General Wang, why are you only here now, didn't you just finish the meeting, and led him back to the house to rest. When Lu Yun saw that it was Wang Baoshan, he quickly stopped the broom in his hand and gave him a military salute.

Wang Baoshan listened to the morning meeting and discussed for a long time, presumably Wang Qiang was also tired, and it was not good to disturb him again, so he asked Lu Yun: "Today's morning meeting, I couldn't come over because of something, I don't know what I said?"

"General Wang, in fact, I am in the Zhongjun Hall, and I am only responsible for the trivial matters of miscellaneous and interrogation, and I don't know what was discussed at the morning meeting. Lu Yun pestle the broom and smiled a little unnaturally on his face.

Wang Baoshan couldn't help but have some doubts when he saw that this little soldier, who was favored by Jin Ling'er, was only responsible for miscellaneous work and interrogation in the Zhongjun Hall.

Didn't Jin Ling'er say that he was endowed with a body of supernatural abilities before? Could it be that she was wrong?

So, I wanted to see what was so strange about him, so I asked him: "Brother Lu, how are your skills?"

After hearing this, the little soldier Lu Yun put away his smile, obviously he didn't expect Wang Baoshan to suddenly ask him this, and said: "General, do you want to test my ability? It's just ......"

Wang Baoshan nodded, with a noncommittal expression.

Lu Yun saw that he was going to test himself, but he didn't say anything, but lowered his head and fell silent, and the expression on his face began to be cloudy, and he seemed to be thinking about something.

After about a hundred and ten breaths, just as Wang Baoshan was about to give up his thoughts when he saw him embarrassed, Lu Yun raised his head, showed a resolute look on his face, and said, "Since the general wants to see it, then I will make a fool of myself here." But before that, I'd like to ask Brother Liu to do me a favor. ”

"What help?" Liu Qing, who was following Wang Baoshan, couldn't help but be puzzled when he heard that Lu Yun asked him for help.

"I want to ask Brother Liu, throw this stone into the sky with your greatest arm strength. Lu Yun said, and randomly picked up an inconspicuous stone from the ground, which was not big, about the size of a baby's ear, flat and without water chestnuts.

"What do you mean by this?" Wang Baoshan looked at him like this, and he was also puzzled.

"General, you just have to wait and see what happens. Lu Yun took the stone and looked at it for a while, but he frowned, as if he was not very satisfied. He also found a stone with a sharp corner on the ground, and used the sharp corner to carve the word "cloud" on the previous stone.

After the portrayal was completed, Lu Yun's face also showed a satisfied smile.

"Give... Please ask Brother Liu to exert all his strength and throw it to the sky. Lu Yun handed the stone engraved with the word cloud to Liu Qing, and did not forget to salute him.

Liu Qing was a little confused at this time, not knowing what to do, and looked at Wang Baoshan, as if asking him what to do.

"Liu Qing, you just do what he wants, throw it away!" Although Wang Baoshan didn't understand Lu Yun's intentions, he had to look at the situation first.

"Brother Lu, I can throw ......" Liu Qing listened to Wang Baoshan's words, and no longer hesitated, immediately held the stone, used the arm strength of his habitual javelin, exerted all his strength, and threw it towards the sky above his head.

"Whoosh......"

With a whoosh, the stone slashed through the void above the three of them like a swift arrow from the bow, and rushed into the air.

Because Wang Baoshan was standing directly below, he couldn't see how high the stone was thrown for a while. I saw it, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a small black dot, like a small mosquito.

"This Liu Qing is worthy of being the heir of the Liu family gun, and his arm strength is so amazing!" Just when Wang Baoshan secretly marveled at Liu Qing's arm strength, suddenly, the little mosquito-like black spot disappeared.

"General, look, it's ...... here"

Wang Baoshan still raised his eyes, looking at the void above his head, and was trying to find the trace of the stone, when Lu Yun's voice drew his attention back.

I saw that Lu Yun at this time was still holding the broom in his hand, which was no different from the posture just now, and he still had a smile on his face.

The difference is that he is holding his right hand up at the moment, his palm is spread out, and a stone with the word "cloud" engraved on the flat surface is lying quietly inside.

This stone is the one that Liu Qing just threw into the sky.

"Brother Lu... How did you do that?" Liu Qing, who was shocked, looked at the stone, then looked up at Lu Yun, and then at Wang Baoshan on the side.

For a moment, his head couldn't turn around, which was completely beyond his comprehension.

Although Wang Baoshan was not as shocked as Liu Qing, the surprise in his heart was not small. Only then did he truly understand that Jin Ling'er's words were right. This little soldier Lu Yun actually took back the stone in the middle of the air at the moment when others were unaware.

Let's not talk about how he did it, this one-handed stunt is amazing.

"It's not a secret, I don't know that I have such skills, it seems that I have been like this since I was a child, but because of this, I was treated as a thief and locked up... But they couldn't lock me up, and they let me run away every time..."Lu Yun was a little embarrassed when he saw Liu Qing's extremely shocked expression.

When Wang Baoshan heard that he had been a thief before, he couldn't help but subconsciously touch the money bag in his arms, and found that the money bag was still there, and he was relieved.

"General, don't do this, I used to steal things because I was young and ignorant, and I couldn't help it because I was hungry, but now! When Lu Yun saw Wang Baoshan's actions, the smile on his face was a little stiff, and he barely squeezed out a little embarrassed smile.

"Well, don't steal it in the future, or who will dare to trust you." Wang Baoshan was also a little embarrassed when he said this, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of his behavior.

After hearing this, Lu Yun hurriedly said, "Yes, I must remember the general's words." ”

"Okay! I hope you won't have a time to starve in the future, so you might as well give me this stone! If you steal something again in the future, I will use it to hit you..." Wang Baoshan saw that the atmosphere was a little embarrassed, and joked with Lu Yun.

"Yes, I will never do it again..."Lu Yun handed the stone to Wang Baoshan and smiled.

Wang Baoshan took the stone and chatted with Lu Yun for a while, but found that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old soldier had gone through countless tribulations.

According to Lu Yun, he himself is an orphan, and since he can remember, until now, he has not known who his biological parents are.

When he was very young, he grew up in a small mountain village called Tsujikata and relied on Baijia rice. The villagers in the mountain village, in addition to giving him the surname of the village and giving him this name, treated him well, and if anyone had surplus food, they would give him a bite to eat. Others are also well-behaved, and when others give him food, he goes in reverse, works for each other, and his life is passable.

But the good times didn't last long, at the end of the summer when Xiao Lu Yun was six years old, a sudden flash flood flooded the villagers' crops, resulting in a bad grain harvest that year. Therefore, that year, there was a famine in the village, and many villagers, after eating up the accumulated grain and what they could eat in the mountains, could not bear the hunger, and walked out of the earthwork village one after another to beg for food.

In the years of famine, although the villagers did not have extra overnight food, they did not make Xiao Lu Yun hungry, which made him feel very relieved when he was young. For the sake of others who didn't want to drag down any longer, he also begged along the way with the villagers who went out, and came to Guanping City all the way to Guanping City.

Guanping City is about a month's walk away from that earthwork village.

The villagers who went out to beg for famine have begged all the way here, and they have been displaced, shaped like withered trees, and their hearts are like ashes. There are very few people who can make it here alive, and some of them are either starving to death or dying of illness on the way here.

Moreover, in the city of Guanping, there are many people begging. Obviously, they were also refugees from other places.

I originally thought that when I entered the city, I would have something to eat, but who knew that the people in the city did not treat them as displaced and hungry people.

Under the indifference and ruthless encounters again and again, the young Lu Yun gradually learned some things, and what he couldn't understand was that the residents in the city, compared to the countryside outside the city, didn't know how much richer, ate well, dressed well, went out and had a carriage to sit in, all kinds of good things, enjoying and enjoying.

But why are they not as good as the poor villagers outside the city?

Although some of the villagers were also cold and ruthless, at least most of the villagers would have a little bit of sympathy, and would lend a helping hand and give a little food when others were really desperate.

Although the citizens of Guanping City were not very friendly to them, they could not defeat them, the hungry people who sought food, nor could they wear out the struggle for survival in their hearts.

When there is no one to give, the hungry do not sit still. They will do everything they can, except to exchange their labor for a bite to eat, that is, to pick up food. Like the leftovers of the residents, the leftovers of the night, the discarded fruits and vegetables, or the leftovers thrown away from the tavern restaurant...... And so on, as long as they can eat, it will be their rations.

Of course, there are also some shameless people who rely on cheating, cheating, and stealing, and in order to survive, they will also take risks to harm others. Perhaps, it is precisely because of them that most of the people in the city will be cold to the villagers who come to beg from outside!

Lu Yun remembered that once after getting separated from the people in the village of Tufang, he had nothing to eat for three days, and he was really hungry, so he went to the street to find something to eat. But he was unlucky, the whole street was clean, and no one threw away anything that could be eaten. But he didn't give up, and searched street by street. Unexpectedly, after looking for several streets in a row, he couldn't find a little food, which couldn't help but make him extremely frustrated.

It was dark very early that day, but the streets were very lively, with beautiful lanterns hanging everywhere and pedestrians enjoying the lanterns.

Lu Yun knew that it was the annual Lantern Festival in Guanping City, but at this time, the lively Lantern Festival had nothing to do with him. At the age of six, he was suffering from unquenchable hunger and walking exhaustively on the crowded streets.

How many times of bullying and insults have made his young mind numb and gray.

He walked numbly and so, until he was about to faint, when a gray, black and dirty earth dog, carrying a hard steamed bun that was so broken that it had fallen into powder, passed through the sea of people, and rushed past him, in a hurry.

"Animal, see where you're going......"

Not far away, a young man with a stick in his hand rushed over.

This guy is not very old, about eleven or twelve years old, and he is dressed very ordinarily and looks ordinary. There are only some thieves with eyebrows, their eyes are in a trance, and they like to look around.

The earth dog turned his head and ran, as if he was afraid of the young man.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way......"

But at this moment, a group of fierce men, surrounded by a boy about ten years old, walked over.

Look at the boy's dress, bright and bright. At a glance, it was clear that he must be the young son of a wealthy family in the city.

Coincidentally, the earth dog panicked and happened to crash into the boy's body.

"Ouch......" The boy couldn't stand and was knocked to the ground.
