Chapter 67: Farewell

Ruan Bai's words made these auxiliary soldiers iron into their hearts one by one, and some of them were more emotional, and they even had red eyes.

It's not that Ruan Bai said how beautiful these two sentences are, but since they entered the auxiliary army, basically no one cares whether they live or die. Not to mention that it is raining in summer, no one will squeak more in the rain in winter.

Ye Dong took the person down at the moment. The three women had already begun to boil water, and their men came over with warm water, and under Ye Dong's instructions, put the hot water in the bathroom.

The washroom here is quite large, but it can't accommodate the hundred-plus people for a while.

"Brothers, come first in the front of the line, wipe your body a little, soon. After washing, change into dry clothes, and hurry to the kitchen to drink a bowl of ginger soup! ”

They are all men who are used to being sharpened in the army, and they wipe their bodies or something quickly, but there is a problem when they change their clothes.

Ye Dong saw that they were going to continue to put dirty clothes on their bodies, and hurriedly stopped: "Why don't you change your clothes?" ”

A few men's rough faces were slightly red, and they said, "Let's just wear this clothes." "Except for this one, that is, when it's cold, there is a thin jacket.

Although Ye Dong is an orphan, the old medicine picker who adopted him is not bad to him, and the life of the old and the young is not very good, but it is not much worse. Now I heard that they didn't even have a change of clothes, and even the body on their bodies was worn out, so I was stunned.

"Wait, I'll ask the master first."

When Ye Dong came over, Ruan Bai was saying goodbye to Steward Cao.

As the head of the internal affairs of the General's Mansion, Cao Guan didn't know how many things were going on inside and outside the house, and he was able to personally go out of the city on a rainy day to send people over, of course, because his master valued Ruan Bai.

Ruan Bai can't really treat Steward Cao as his own subordinate. Besides, he doesn't have much concept of superiority and inferiority, and in his opinion, he is nothing more than some lifelong wage laborer.

Respect is mutual.

Of course, a person like Steward Cao can understand that he has taken more and more care of Ruan Bai and has been more dedicated to his work. Like this selection of auxiliaries, of course he can choose some people to come over casually, and the reason why it took so long is that he also deliberately examined the character of these people.

Ye Dong really didn't have the consciousness of being a subordinate, he trotted all the way, and didn't care that Steward Cao was there, so he said directly: "Master, those auxiliary soldiers don't have clothes to change." ”

Steward Cao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "This is the villain's negligence." "He followed General Cao, how did he not know that the current military appearance was made by Ruan Bai? It's just that the auxiliary army is not counted.

Ruan Bai hurriedly said, "How can I blame you for this? It's okay, this thing is easy to solve. ”

After affirming that Ruan Bai really didn't need his help, Steward Cao left. Ye Dong also turned the corner and found that he had said the wrong thing. Ruan Bai didn't blame Ye Dong, but after this incident, he had a heart, not to mention the subordinates who were sprinkling and serving, even the general service staff should also have it. Otherwise, there will be more and more people waiting for him to come and go, and he can't let a few people make do with it so casually.

Ruan Bai followed Ye Dong to the bathroom.

The sleek men watched such a fair and delicate young man come in, and they didn't know where to put their eyes. It was obviously them who didn't have any clothes on, but they felt that it was offensive to look at Ruan Bai.

After asking them, Ruan Bai learned that they still had a set of thin jackets, and immediately said, "Let's change them first." This dress will be washed in a while, and the summer clothes will dry quickly, and you will be able to change it tomorrow morning. ”

He had already asked Liniang to buy clothes in Xishan, which was considered a uniform. However, there was no industrialization in these years, and the speed of making clothes was very slow. Even the materials for the clothes to be worn by hundreds of people could not be bought in the nearby towns. In addition, he asked for materials to be resistant to dirt and wear, but now the fabrics are all pure natural materials, and they are really not resistant to anything.

Hundreds of people, thirty people at a time, and when all the changes are completed, it will be half an hour. A bowl of ginger soup for one person is all like coming back to life.

Ruan Bai didn't explain anything, but said: "Have a good rest today, and talk about the specific things tomorrow." ”

Then he went to the kitchen, gave some more money to the three families who farmed the land, and took a lot of things out of the storehouse: "These people's food and drink will temporarily trouble a few uncles and aunts. ”

The three couples were honest people, they didn't dare to take the money, they didn't want anything, and they were forced into Ruan Bai's arms.

Ye Dong basically only cares about his two or three acres of medicine field. The remaining more than 100 acres of land all rely on these six people. Although there are other people hired when planting and harvesting the land, there are so many places that you can be busy from dawn to dark just weeding every day, not to mention raising two or three flocks of chickens.

After arranging things, Ruan Bai went back to the post station and called: "Big cow! ”

Xu Liuyi came over and said, "My lord, Da Niu took people to Leyang Town to buy things." Just now, Steward Cao brought so many people over, I was afraid that there would not be enough food and clothing. ”

Ruan Bai patted Xu Liu's shoulder: "Yes, quite clever." ”

After the training in the past few months, the biggest change is these four post soldiers, who are diligent and studious, and now some small aspects can be taken care of. Tang Xinhou relies on his own cultural foundation and expertise in riding horses and raising horses, and he is still outstanding. Zhang Daniu and Zhou Dahu are now also showing a little talent, and they have made significant progress in kung fu, and occasionally they can get Chu Hao's personal guidance. Xu Liu doesn't seem to be outstanding in anything, but his brain is the most active; Coupled with the carpenter's craftsmanship, if there are a little minor repairs or shortcomings in the post station, he will do it directly.

Xu Liu was embarrassed by Ruan Bai's praise, hehe smirked twice, and suddenly remembered that he still had nothing to say, so he hurriedly said: "My lord, Lord Chu sent someone to send a message back, saying that he can't come back tonight, so don't wait for him." ”

"Got it." Hey, why did he wait for Chu Hao at night? Without Chu Hao here, he could sleep with the big fat and the little fat at night.

The big fat disliked Ruan Bai very much, and refused to go to bed.

Xiaopang has a deeper affection for Ruan Bai, and obediently lies on the edge of the bed and sticks out his tongue: "Woo~"

Ruan Bai has become a habit of sleeping with something, and as soon as he turns over, he scoops Xiaopang into his arms. It's a pity that the hairy and the light board are fundamentally two different things. Even if it's a bare board, he will occasionally complain a few words about the heat and hug Xiaopang, not to mention that Xiaopang can't stand it, he himself is too hot.

Chubby was released back into the wild.

Ruan Bai lay flat on the bed in a big figure, deeply feeling that since he came to Da Zhou, the agents had left him farther and farther away. It didn't take long for him to get used to the point where he couldn't sleep alone.

Chu Hao was busy until the morning of the third day before coming back.

Ruan Bai had insomnia on the first night, and barely let himself fall asleep the second night, seeing that Chu Hao hadn't seen him for two days, and the whole person had become a scruffy homeless man, his heart suddenly softened, and he didn't say anything when he was ready, pushed people to take a bath, cooked noodles by himself, and added all kinds of vegetables, mushrooms, and meat.

Chu Hao looked at it and wanted to hug Ruan Bai, but his hair hadn't dried yet, and he was afraid of getting Ruan Bai wet: "Second brother, my brother will go out of the city early tomorrow morning, seven days if it's fast, and half a month if it's slow, and I'll definitely come back." ”

This time he ran around outside and found a trace of Hun activity. Come back today to recuperate, and I'll have to go out early tomorrow morning. The autumn harvest is approaching, and the Huns do not say every year, but they will also come to the Great Zhou to loot every three or five days. They tasted the sweetness last year, and they certainly won't let go this year. In addition, last year he killed the youngest prince of the Huns, who was the most competitive leader, and the remaining princes may have to look forward to this year's military exploits to establish their position.

Ruan Bai didn't have to guess: "The Huns are coming?" ”

"Hmm. You need to protect yourself at home. The grain has not been harvested, and it is not possible to fight for the time being, but it should not be taken lightly. If something is wrong, immediately take someone to Guancheng and run. Lord Cao will definitely protect you. ”

Ruan Bai didn't fight Chu Hao on this point. Personal prowess and war are two different things. No matter how much he can fight alone, it is impossible for him to face even a small team and retreat with his whole body. Besides, he is not in the habit of facing the enemy head-on. was able to kill so many Huns on the grassland before, but it was also after a period of arrangement, and the Huns were defenseless against him before he could succeed.

"Well, I understand. Be careful yourself. After saying that, he pushed Chu Hao to sleep.

explained that Tang Xinhou was substitute for teaching, and he nested in the small kitchen to make pancakes. In the field no more than at home, pancakes can not be made much, the summer is hot, things are easy to spoil. He didn't think about it, so he took out the pork jerky he had secretly prepared, as well as some dried vegetables. In addition to the food, there was also a medical kit with some standing medicines and bandages and things like that, and the main thing was a small bottle of wine. Although the degree is not satisfactory, it is already the strongest wine that Ruan Bai can find.

Chu Hao slept until night before getting up, and when he saw Ruan Bai's busy figure, he somehow felt a little sour, and couldn't help but hug Ruan Bai tightly from behind: "Don't be busy." ”

Ruan Bai slapped Chu Hao's hand away: "What are you busy with?" Let go and get down to business. ”

Chu Hao watched Ruan Bai put the pile of things on the table into a small wooden box little by little. The wooden box is also covered with a layer of leather, with metal hooks and straps: "You can carry it with you, depending on your own usage habits." "The tie is made of extravagant beef tendon, which is not much rolled up, and the length of the unfold is enough to straddle diagonally. The hook can also be hung in the saddle.

There was also a small amount of food in the other food box.

"The pancakes should be eaten as much as possible. If you have time to rest, you can hang the food box as a pot and put dried vegetables and dried meat in it. This bottle is salt and the other is sugar. The water is boiled as much as possible to drink......"

"Hmm." Chu Hao listened to Ruan Bai's instructions and firmly remembered the things he had explained.

At the same time, Tang Xinhou made a circle outside their small courtyard.

The fourth child knew Tang Xinhou and did not call it.

Tang Xinhou looked at the light in the room, took two steps forward, then stepped back, turned around and walked away two steps, and turned back again.

The fourth child looked up and followed him around, and soon became impatient, and when Tang Xinhou walked to it again, it simply raised its mouth and bit Tang Xinhou's trouser leg.

With a snort, Tang Xinhou wanted to cry and looked at his pants that had been mended countless times without tears: "Fourth, alas, my fourth girl feeds ......"
