Volume 1 Sunrise in the East and West Mountain Chapter 97 Zhenhu Stone
The people in the horse feed field originally thought that Qin Xiao would not be able to please him, and he would inevitably have to suffer, but who knew that Brother Hong not only did not hurt Qin Xiao in the slightest, but suffered a loss himself.
Brother Hong sat on the ground with his buttocks, looking at the strangulation marks around his wrists, still in pain, and his heart was shocked.
looked left and right, and saw that everyone else was looking at him, and suddenly he only felt that he had lost face.
He originally wanted to teach Qin Xiao a lesson, so that others would be more afraid of him, but he wanted to sweep his face instead, his face suddenly couldn't be hung up, he got up, and he had to step forward, but a person on the side had already stepped forward to stop him, and said: "Brother Hong, it's just that young people are ignorant, you have a lot of adults, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as him." β
Brother Hong glanced at the man, and when he saw that he was winking at him, he immediately understood.
None of us is stupid, Brother Hong has suffered a loss, and everyone else knows in their hearts that this young man looks delicate and smooth, but he is by no means a good stubble, and he dares to go toe-for-tat with Brother Hong when he first arrives, and he is not an easy person to bully.
If you continue to do it, Brother Hong will definitely not be able to take advantage of it, but I am afraid that he will suffer even more.
This person stepped forward in time to grab Brother Hong, in fact, he gave Brother Hong a step down, so as not to be too embarrassed.
"Boy, you've got it in mind." Although Brother Hong went down the steps and didn't dare to step forward again, his mouth was still unforgiving: "In the future, we will have time to get along, and slowly you will understand the rules." β
Qin Xiao smiled faintly and did not speak.
"What for?" Suddenly, I heard Team He's voice coming: "Don't want to do it anymore?" β
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly returned to their seats.
"Hiroko, what's going on?" Team He was walking over quickly, holding a small wooden card in his hand, and threw it at Qin Xiao's feet, Qin Xiao picked it up and took a look, only to see the word "Wang Xiao" written on the wooden card, turned it over, and the other side was written with the words "horse stocking field", knowing that this should be a sign to prove his identity in the barracks.
Brother Hong immediately said: "Team Zheng, this kid just came, he was going to make trouble, he spoke wildly, and he even started beating people." He stretched out a hand and complained, "You see, my hand is caught like this by him." β
Team He took a look, frowned, looked at Qin Xiao, and asked, "Is it your hand?" β
Guo Wang's mouth moved, Brother Hong had already glanced at Guo Wang coldly, Guo Wang immediately lowered his head, not daring to speak, but the others on the side said: "Team Zheng, it was his hand that moved first." Brother Hong just told him to behave in the camp in the future and not to cause trouble, so he did something to Brother Hong. β
Everyone else nodded their heads.
Qin Xiao was amused in his heart, but he knew in his heart that no matter what he said at this time, it would be meaningless, so he could only say: "If I say that I didn't do it first, the team will naturally not believe it." β
"You just came here today, and I'm going to give you a chance to stay here." Team He said coldly: "But you don't have to eat today, and besides, you have to do it tonight, and you can't leave until the time." β
Brother Hong suddenly showed a smug look, Qin Xiao just smiled and said, "I should follow the things that the team is assigning." β
"That's very good." Team He said lightly: "I don't care what you did before entering the camp, when you enter the horse yard, then you have to abide by the rules here, at least Geng Hong is not wrong in this sentence, if you break the rules here, no one can protect you." The White Tiger Camp is not a messy place, the military regulations are strict, and no one can save them if they violate the military regulations. β
Qin Xiao looked at his posture, not like the team leader of the horse stockyard, but like the same age of the White Tiger Battalion.
However, the word "Geng Hong" is in his ears, Qin Xiao immediately caught something, he remembered that the riding school that sent him to the horse yard was called Geng Shao, and just arrived at the gate of the horse yard, He team Zheng thought that Geng Shao was looking for "Hongzi", and now that he thinks about it, the Hongzi in Team He's mouth should be this "big brother Hong".
Brother Hong's big name is Geng Hong, and he has the same surname as Geng Shao of the riding school, although the two have different appearances, and this Geng Hong's physique is far inferior to Geng Shao, but Qin Xiao faintly feels that these two people must have a relationship.
Qin Xiao's face did not change, and he still said with a harmless smile: "What the team is saying is that I will definitely abide by the rules of the barracks and will not cause trouble." β
Team He seemed to be very satisfied with Qin Xiao's attitude, so he said to Geng Hong: "Hongzi, your hand is injured, come with me to apply some medicine first, and rest today." β
Geng Hong hurriedly said: "Thank you for being positive." Glancing at Qin Xiao, he snorted coldly, and then followed Team He.
The others immediately did not speak.
Guo Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately taught Qin Xiao how to cut the ingredients correctly, this is not a technical job, and after a while, Qin Xiao probably mastered the trick,
At noon, everyone else went to get food, and Qin Xiao was punished for not being able to eat, so he could only endure it.
But this is not a big deal for Qin Xiao, if he doesn't eat for a day or two, Qin Xiao can completely bear it.
On this day, Geng Hong and He Teamzheng did not appear again, and when it was dark, the other people went back to the barracks in the corner of the horse yard to rest, leaving only Qin Xiao and Guo Wang.
Guo Wang didn't have to stay, but he saw that Qin Xiao was too lonely here, so it was very kind to stay with him.
"Don't provoke ..... in the future Provoke Brother Hong. Guo Wang took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, so he persuaded in a low voice: "He is the cousin of Geng Qixiao, and he has a good relationship with Team He, offending him, it will be difficult to do things in the future." β
Qin Xiao thought that Geng Hong really had a relationship with Geng Shao, and knew that Guo Wang was kind, so he smiled and said, "When did Brother Guo enter the camp?" β
"It's been two years." Guo Wang said a little gloomily: "My eldest brother is a cavalryman of the White Tiger Battalion, and when he suppressed bandits the year before last, he was killed by a cold arrow, so I can join the camp as an errand." β
"Can the families of soldiers who died in battle enter the camp?" Qin Xiao was surprised.
Guo Wang shook his head and said, "No, no, you can choose." He looked left and right, and then said in a low voice: "If you die in battle, you can receive a pension of one hundred taels of silver." However, there are other options, if you do not receive a pension, you can choose a man from your family to work in the battalion, and you can receive a soldier's salary every month. Scratching his head, he said: "My mother said that she received a hundred taels of silver in her hand, maybe it will be used up soon, and she will be in the camp as an errand boy, not only for food and shelter, but also for two taels of silver every month, and there will be more than twenty taels of silver in this year, and it will not take five years to get a hundred taels of silver, which is more cost-effective." β
Qin Xiao thought that this account was clear, but the Yuwen family really valued the White Tiger Camp.
With a very high military salary, and a heavy pension for the death of the war, everyone in the White Tiger Camp naturally wants to rush in, but since the Yuwen family attaches so much importance to it, if they want to enter the camp, they will naturally be strictly screened.
"So you've been here on an errand ever since?" Qin Xiao said with a smile: "I see that you are tall, why don't you try to be a cavalryman?" β
Guo Wang stuck out his tongue and said, "It's too difficult, it's too difficult." Recruit cavalry, strict screening, not only to be physically strong, but also brave, and not to be afraid of death ...... on the battlefield!" Smiled awkwardly: "My mother only depends on me to feed, if I die, my mother will have no one to support." I'll stay here to work, get some money to support my family, anyway, I can't do hard work to cut materials, even if I'm old, I can do it, and when I'm fifty or sixty years old, I can still rely on this to support my family. β
Qin Xiao sighed in his heart.
Guo Wang's mind is good to say that he is content with the status quo, and if he says it badly, he is not self-motivated, but a person has a way of living, and there is nothing wrong with him choosing to work steadily to support his old mother.
It's just that his idea is too naΓ―ve.
Not to mention whether this White Tiger Battalion can continue to exist, even if it can really survive for decades, when Guo Wang is old, it is impossible for this horse yard to let an old man continue to stay.
"By the way, how long has that big brother Hong been here?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice, "His cousin is a cavalry school, why didn't he become an official soldier, but did things here?" β
Guo Wang cautiously looked around before he whispered, "To become an official soldier, you must nod your head from the commander." β
"That's nature." Qin Xiao said: "Could it be that the Lord Commander didn't agree to let Geng Hong enter the camp?" β
Guo Wang shook his head and said: "Although the Commander Lord is strict, if he has the ability, the Commander Lord can't ask for it. β
"It seems that the Commander is also a person who loves talents." Qin Xiao smiled and said, "It's just that how can you be considered talented in the eyes of the Commander?" β
"If you're skilled in horsemanship, and you're good at archery, and you can even wield knives and guns, you're talented." Guo Wang smiled innocently: "But I haven't practiced in the barracks, how can I ride a horse and shoot arrows?" β
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, thinking that this was true.
Children of poor families, even eating and dressing are a problem, where do the horses come from to train riding?
Xiling has long implemented a knife hunting order, and the people are not allowed to hide their blades privately at home, so it is naturally impossible to have the opportunity to dance with knives and guns.
Poor and rich, if you can dance with a knife and a gun, the family is naturally quite solid, and such a family often does not let their children enter the camp as soldiers.
After all, if you have a good ability, going to the home care home for the rich and noble, or even going to the dart bureau to enlist as a bodyguard, is more promising than being a soldier.
"In this way, Geng Hong's kung fu of riding a horse and archery is not good?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.
Guo Wang leaned in and whispered: "He can't ride a horse or shoot arrows, although he has some strength, he can't move the Zhenhu Stone." So even if he is a cousin of Geng Riding School, he is not qualified to enter the camp, but if he stays for two years, he may become the captain of the horse field, so let's not offend him. β
"Zhenhu Stone?" Qin Xiao was puzzled: "What is that?" β
Guo Wang stood up, looked at the middle of the camp, raised his hand and pointed to the distance: "Have you seen the camp flag?" β
Although it was already dark, but the barracks had been lit everywhere, Qin Xiao followed Guo Wang's fingers and looked at the past, only to see a big flag erected high in the center of the camp, the night wind blowing, the big flag was waving in the wind, and a white tiger on the flag opened its teeth and claws, as if it was alive.
When he came over today, Qin Xiao passed by there and knew that it was the highest flag of the White Tiger Battalion, and he didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now he knows that it was the battalion flag.
"Under the banner of the camp, there is a big stone pier, which is the Zhenhu Stone." Guo Wang explained: "I heard them say that if you can continuously lift the tiger stone from the ground, you can immediately become an official soldier, even if you are a commander, you can't stop it. β
