Chapter 4 Quarry Service

Zhan Ying walked to the door of the residence, the sun had just set at this time, and Yanyang was very hot during the day at this time, but it was very cold at night. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhan Ying was a little cold at the moment, and the prison uniform she was wearing looked thin in such temperatures. She hugged her shoulders and looked into the distance, only faintly seeing the lights of the city and the dark mountains in the distance.

Daddy, is this the place you guarded? Why is it that the hearts of people in this land are so cold, and people are so quick not to remember how you worked so hard for this country? Would you regret it if you knew it was so?

Pushed the door into the house, but Jinxiu was not in the house, and Li was still working in the shed where he ate. The last glimmer of light outside was about to disappear, and Zhan Ying saw a soybean oil lamp on the table, so she lit it.

It was getting colder and colder, and she wrapped the quilt around her body and carefully took out the soldier's book wrapped in sheepskin. I saw that the title page said "Warrior Strategy".

Just as he was about to open it to see, Li returned to the house. When she saw Zhan Ying, her eyes flickered slightly, Zhan Ying knew that the Li family was because she had offended the supervisor when she saw her today, and she was afraid that she would be affected if she was too close. Zhan Ying knew that she must not have a good time living in this fortification camp, so she didn't care, and opened the book under the lamp.

This military book is divided into six parts: the art of war, the formation method, the time to observe the sky, the terrain check, the chariot and weapons, the military drill, and finally the actual record of some battles. The pages are all made of leather, nailed with strong ropes, and the pages are read in different ages and in different handwriting, which is probably the result of continuous copying and supplementation by the heirs.

As soon as she read it carefully, she could feel the subtlety of it, and she couldn't help but be fascinated by the fact that this book of war had opened up a world for her, a world that she had been exposed to before, but had not yet understood in depth. The temperature was getting lower and lower, and she couldn't help but close the quilt around her.

As soon as Li Shifu entered the house, he had already changed into a padded jacket, and when Zhan Ying was reading, she had already peeked at Zhan Ying several times, and when she saw her tighten the quilt, she finally couldn't help it, and said hesitantly, "The newcomer can go to the camp warehouse to get a padded jacket..."

Zhan Ying looked up at her when she heard the voice, she looked a little nervous, "I heard that you are the daughter of the war minister... When I was young, people in the village said that the Zhanjia Army was here to protect the peace of our side, and they never bullied our people, and they didn't want the food they sent, and they all said that the Zhanjia Army was a good person. When Zhan Ying heard this, his heart couldn't help but feel a little warm, there were still people who remembered his father.

After asking a few people along the way, I finally found the place where the warehouse was, and when I entered the warehouse door, there was only an old man over sixty years old who was on duty at night. Hearing that Zhan Ying said that she was here to receive the newcomer's utensils, she waved her hand and told Zhan Ying that she must first find the supervisor to give her the waist card of her identity, and then go to the main bookkeeper to get a note, and finally use the slip to take the newcomer's burden.

Zhan Ying went to the supervisor's residence according to the words of the storehouse, the supervisor is a separate courtyard here, which is both a residence and an office, because all the fortifications of the new city wall of Yanyang are usually under the jurisdiction of the supervisor, and it is also considered a heavy official business, so many of the trivial matters in the camp are assisted by a few of his entourage.

When Zhan Ying arrived, he saw the skinny man he saw at dinner again, and there were several men around him, and they were rolling the dice together with nothing to do. He saw that Zhan Ying seemed to be smiling

"Master, I don't have vision, what's wrong with being an entourage? The county official might as well be in charge now, your Miss Zhan has been here for a long time, what kind of life will you live in this camp in the future, and it is not in my hands? ”

The other men didn't speak, and they were all waiting to see the show.

Zhan Ying has been stubborn since he was a child, and he refuses to give in when he encounters villains

"This camp material is also war preparation materials, and it is a felony to withhold war preparation materials in your own country!"

"Hey, the master is also a hand-eyed figure in this camp, you try to sue him"

Zhan Ying smiled contemptuously

"You think you can cover the sky with one hand in this camp, but you must also know that if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself. Moreover, even if my Zhan family was overturned, the Holy Lord did not punish my Zhan family of the nine clans. My grandfather's family is still there, and so many of my father's protégés and subordinates are still alive, and although they fly separately when disaster comes, how do you know that there will be no one among these people who will think of friendship? ”

After hearing this, the man retreated slightly from his arrogance, and then puffed up his anger again, "What are you arrogant about, is there anyone who is more powerful than ..."Before he finished speaking, another man next to him pulled his sleeve fiercely, and he suddenly came over and didn't say anything more, Zhan Ying's heart suddenly became suspicious, and the man who dragged people immediately said

"Give her the waist card! There won't be any good days after following Cheng San. ”

The thin man reluctantly wrote the waist card and threw it to her, and Zhan Ying took the waist card and left.

When he returned from picking up supplies in the warehouse, Jinxiu was still not in the house, and Li had already slept. Zhan Ying hurried to Yanyang today and was a little exhausted, and he didn't know what the situation would be tomorrow, so after thinking about it for a while, he put away the military book and fell asleep.

Zhan Ying still had a nightmare at night, sat up in a cold sweat, and then lay down after calming down, and after a while, he heard the movement of Jinxiu returning to the house to stay.

When I woke up, the gong was already ringing outside, and the Li family was no longer in the house, Zhan Ying combed her hair and tied it with only a hairband, and left the house after washing with water, while Jinxiu was still carefully combing her hair.

Zhan Ying followed the people in the same row of houses to the shed where she went yesterday to receive the day's dry food, and at this time she saw her envoy Chang Cheng San.

Cheng San had woken up, but his nose was still red, and he had a thick whip pinned to his waist, and he was fiercely snorting a group of men

"Go to the quarry for Lao Tzu, don't think about the time to grind!"

The person who was scolded hurriedly sped up and concentrated. He saw Zhan Ying

"You, the newcomer, will follow them in the future, and when the time comes, you will go to the quarry to quarry! If you're lazy, watch out for my whip! Zhan Ying followed Cheng San and his party to the quarry outside the city.

The quarry is located at the foot of Bafen Mountain outside Yanyang City, and there is only one woman in a huge quarry as far as the eye can see.

Most of the men were shirtless and sweaty. 20 people surround a huge wooden hanger with a thick wooden stake. Shouting slogans, they slammed the stake into an iron wedge that had been inserted into a crack in the stone, so that several times they could pry off a huge rock. The rest, some of whom were assigned to chisel the mountain wall with a hammer until a wedge was sewn into the wooden wedge, continued to chisel until the crack was large enough to be plugged into the iron wedge that had just been struck by the stake. Some people are responsible for dividing the huge rock into several pieces, while the rest are responsible for chiseling away the irregular corners of the rock until it becomes an ashlar for building walls.
