Wang Debao turned over and sat up, quickly took out his coat and stockings from under the pillow, and hurriedly put them on his body. Then he turned his legs under the bed, inserted his feet into his shoes, and at the moment when he stood upright, he grabbed the round cloth hat with one hand and put it on the top of his head.

The feet are in harmony with each other, and without having to use his hands, he has already put on his shoes. The movement of the hands is like a butterfly, and the quilt is neatly folded into tofu blocks. Then grab the basin and water glass, and go straight to the urn in the corner of the dormitory.

No one argued with him, and the mouth of the water urn reflected a face that was getting rounder and rounder. After a while, he looked around with a basin, the bed of the head Zhang San was empty, and the quilt was still folded like a piece of tofu, but he didn't know where to go. The recruits in the dormitory woke up, but no one got up and cleaned up as they usually did. Even Lu Dechuan, who has always been the most active, is slowly tidying up his clothes, as if he has married a big man who is waiting for him with seven or eight concubines.

"What are you doing, aren't you going to today? In case of ......" Wang Debao frowned and reminded. Immediately, he put down the basin and patted his head with a wild laugh, "Grandma's, I'm confused." Lao Tzu is finished, closed! No more! Don't worry about being troubled by the bastard surnamed Ren anymore! ”

After four rounds, there was still no response. The robes in the same dormitory glanced at him with a smile, and then continued to pack their bags.

Like most of the recruits in the camp, 10 brothers from the 5th team of the 3rd Regiment, 2nd Brigade and 1st Brigade of the new training camp collectively passed the final examination under the leadership of the gang leader Zhang San. This morning, they don't have to go out to exercise, they can sleep as long as they want, as long as they don't delay their meals. Wait until you have eaten the morning food, then go to the graduation ceremony, and then go your separate ways.

Wang Debao's heart suddenly swelled with a little reluctance, but more happiness and relaxation. Although his grades were not as dazzling as those of his dormitory mates, he still passed the final exam safely. This means that from tomorrow onwards, he will be paid a hundred wen a day.

Wang Debao calculated very clearly, in charge of two meals and clothes, shoes and socks in the army, except for exchanges with friends, he would not have much expense. In this way, he can save at least thirty hangings a year, and in five years, if he is lucky enough not to die in battle, there will be one hundred and fifty hangings.

According to the latest regulations promulgated by Broken Leaf Town, soldiers can apply for retirement after five years of service. From then on, all conscription and military service were completely exempted. Therefore, Wang Debao had already made a decision in his heart that he would leave the Broken Leaf Army immediately after the five-year service period expired. Then with one hundred and fifty hanging money, in the city of broken leaves, the government returned the shop to him, and reopened a grain store.

He had already thought of the name of the grain store, and it was also called Wangjia Rice Shop. At first, the cost is small, and you can only sell corn. It's easy to store, and as long as you pay attention to the ventilation and insect protection of the warehouse, the taste of old and new grain is basically the same. Mix the new grain into two into old grain, and then stir a few drops of vegetable oil well, so that the guests can neither see nor eat. The price of new and old grain can be at least five cents per stone......

"What about your daughter-in-law? Laughing at the water urn early in the morning? Lu Guangsha (Lu Guangyu) didn't know when he came over with a basin, laughing and teasing in a low voice. Then you have to hurry. I've heard that after the new training, everyone only has 10 days off. Then I have to report to the new chief. In case you are assigned to Yezhi City, there will not even be a woman from the Han family there. ”

"You just want a daughter-in-law?" Wang Debao paused, and then realized that he had been distracted for a long time. Hurriedly lowered his head and fetched water into the basin, while sneering at each other, "You support the quilt half a foot high every morning, and if you don't hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law, it is estimated that you will go crazy in a few days." In case the top of the list assigns you to Xingumo, don't talk about Hu Nu over there, I'm afraid there won't even be a woman. All you can see every day is the female mosquitoes! ”

"I won't be assigned to Xingumo, it's close to Qiuzi, and I don't need to be supplemented by soldiers at all." Lu Guangsha shrugged his shoulders and shook his head proudly, "I will definitely stay in Broken Leaves." I have heard that the town guard will take the top 100 brothers in the assessment results and stay with him as personal soldiers. I did the math, and I seemed to be in the top ninety! ”

"Just you?" Wang Debao turned his head and glanced at the other party, his face full of disberence, "Top ninety, don't brag!" The first hundred and ninety, I will definitely not find you. ”

"Have you counted! It's just nonsense. Lu Guangsha was not angry, he just looked proud, "I have quietly inquired with Zhou Lushu." According to him, our guy, except for a certain slacker, everyone else should be in the top hundred. ”

"Then I'll congratulate you in advance. I hope that the handsome man will be in a good mood one day, see you pleasing to the eye, and reward you with an official job! Wang Debao couldn't argue with the other party, rolled his eyelids, and said sourly. Immediately, he left with a basin and a tooth jar, and went outside the door to wash silently.

He and Lu Guangsha have always had a bad temper. However, at the time of the assessment, this person finished running first, and then turned back with Lu Dechuan and Zhang San, and for the sake of running with him in the inner circle, he didn't plan to meet the other party today. As for going to Zhang Zhenshou as a personal soldier, he is really not uncommon!

In his opinion, only a fool who is so stupid that he will only see the glory and future of being a personal soldier for the main general, and be proud. In fact, most of the personal soldiers around the main general had died on the battlefield before they were released as officials. Especially Zhang Zhenshou, a general who likes to risk his life, the soldiers around him will definitely die faster, maybe he will have to replace it within two years!

"Debao, don't be angry! Lu Wu has a stinky mouth, in fact, in his heart, he wishes everyone would continue to be together! Lu Dechuan also fetched water, quietly walked outside the door, and whispered comfort to Wang Debao's ear.

"I don't know as much as he does!" Wang Debao raised his head, glanced at Lu Guangsha who also came to the door to wash from a distance, and pouted disdainfully, "With that kung fu, I might as well watch the ants go up the tree." ”

After that, he glanced at Yang Chengliang, who was silently washing beside him, deliberately raised his voice a little, and told Lu Dechuan, "You have a great future in the future, but be careful." On the battlefield, feathered arrows don't have eyes. Promotion and wealth are the share of the living, and have nothing to do with the dead. Also, don't keep thinking about revenge. Your enemy is dead, and you can't kill all the Turgish. And if our elders are still alive, they will definitely hope that we will marry a wife, hold a son, and inherit the incense. Instead of thinking about going to work hard with people all day long! ”

Thinking of his parents' expectations of him before his death, his eyes turned red first. Quickly picked up the water, poured two handfuls on his face, and then picked up the kudzu cloth hand towel that had just been handed out, and wiped away the tears and washing water together.

"You also take care to protect yourself, no matter where you go!" Lu Dechuan's eyes also began to redden, and he responded in a hoarse voice.

He and Wang Debao can both write and calculate, and they are definitely different in the barracks. In addition, he and Wang Debao, before Suo Ge rebelled, originally lived in Broken Leaf City, and they were half fellow villagers. Therefore, the friendship between the two is naturally deeper than that with other robes.

But Wang Debao's various assessment results are all middle and lower. And Lu Dechuan won all the best. Therefore, after the two walked out of the new training camp, they were destined to part ways. And Broken Leaf Town is so big, maybe, this time of separation, is forever.

"Don't worry, as long as you don't go under Ren Bing, no matter where you go, Lao Tzu will live a good life!" Not wanting to make the atmosphere too ugly, Wang Debao put down his handkerchief and announced with a forced smile. "Maybe, the next time we meet, Lao Tzu will already be a captain."

"It's just you, pull it down!" Ma Cheng (horseshoe nail) walked past him with a face wash and shook his head with a smile, "Except for this bulging belly, the others are nothing like the captain!" ”

"Don't look down on people!" Wang Debao stiffened his neck and retorted in a low voice, "My belly is a little bigger, but as the saying goes, the prime minister's belly can support the boat." If you want to be a big official, your belly must not be too small. In addition, I have passed all the assessments, although I can't compare with you, and going to the outside barracks is equivalent to a camel entering the flock. At that time, you who are stronger than me will definitely not be able to come and fight with me, there is a way, there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the king! ”

Although it was to deliberately make everyone happy, he deliberately said it extremely arrogantly. However, after everyone listened, they really couldn't find a reason to refute for a while.

Wang Debao's training results are not ranked in the new training camp, but compared to the ordinary soldiers in the Broken Leaf Army, it is really not necessarily any worse. And if it is really like what Lu Guangsha revealed before, the people who performed well in the assessment were all sent to the town guard to listen to them, Wang Yuanbao would indeed become a tall man in the sting, maybe he would be a blessing in disguise and soon stand out.

"Don't make your dreams too beautiful." After Lu Guangsha finished washing, he carried a wooden basin and tooth jar, deliberately blocking people, "I can see that Ren Bing has been following Captain Ren for the past few days. Maybe he just wants to put you under his hands, and avenge the one arrow you made him lose face that day. ”

"Nonsense, since his surname is Ren, he must be the personal soldier of the town guard. It's impossible to go down there and do it......" Wang Debao didn't even think about it, and blurted out the words of rebuttal.

However, when the words fell, his face became very ugly.

It is true that Ren Bing is Zhang Qian's personal soldier, and the personal soldier usually does not go down to lead the troops, which is not wrong. But if the top 100 people in the assessment score are all admitted to the pro-guard regiment, in addition to him, the remaining nine brothers of the fifth group of the third regiment, the second brigade and the first team of the new training camp will inevitably fall under Ren Bing. At that time, no matter how much the town guard admires everyone, it is impossible to stare at it every day. And the officers of the pro-guard regiment, in addition to the surname Guo, is surnamed Ren......

"It can't be that coincidental, right?"

"Lu Guangyu, you said that those who are in the top 100 in the assessment will enter the pro-guard regiment, is it true?"

"I knew this earlier, the last two arrows of Lao Tzu were deliberately shot crooked."

"If this is the case, Wang Fatzi is really a blessing in disguise!"

……

The rest of the brothers also suddenly sensed a hint of danger. They all came up and discussed anxiously. Only Yang Chengliang, formerly known as Yang Shuzhu, still didn't say anything. Silently washed himself, and then walked towards the dormitory without looking back.

"Xiao Yang, aren't you worried at all?" Che Ping (plantain) was adjacent to Yang Chengliang's bunk, followed and asked in a low voice.

"Worried about what? Just one life. Yang Chengliang glanced up at him and replied succinctly.

Che Ping stuck out his tongue and suddenly had nothing to say. People like Yang Chengliang are like stones in a thatched house in winter, cold and hard. Whoever dares to see that he doesn't like to talk, he deliberately bullies him, and the final result will definitely be a lose-lose situation.

And Wang Debao began to worry about Yang Chengliang again, and also chased after him with a basin and a tooth jar, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yang, don't worry, there are hundreds of people in the pro-guard group, how could you happen to fall under the hands of the surnamed Ren." If it's really that unlucky, you take the initiative to ask for a call-out. Others break their heads and want to squeeze in, you are willing to make a place to come out, even if you don't let go, you will think about why you don't want to let go of your good future, you have to take the initiative to leave. ”

"Got it!" Yang Chengliang glanced at him, and there was still no emotional fluctuation in his answer.

"I'll tell you......" Seeing this, Wang Debao became more and more worried about his future. After chasing two more steps, the mother-in-law added, "We all have to live for ourselves, and we can't just think about revenge." I can't move at every turn, I just think about my own life, and fight to pull it down. In the eyes of your brothers, your life is precious, and you can't fight with irrelevant people. ”

"Long-winded!" Yang Chengliang rolled his eyes, put away the basin and tooth jar, and began to sit down to clean up the horn bow.

Wang Debao touched two soft nails in succession, and he had no interest in continuing to speak. He put away the basin and tooth jar and began to maintain his horizontal knife.

The climate of the Western Regions is too dry, and the horned bow and horizontal knife are not produced by Broken Leaf City at the moment. If it is not well maintained and there is a problem, everyone will have to fight the enemy empty-handed. Therefore, after a few breaths, Lu Guangsha, Lu Dechuan and others also joined in, and everyone sat at the head of the bed, taking advantage of the sunlight to pack up their weapons, one by one, with a more serious attitude.

The atmosphere in the room immediately became oppressive. Not because parting is imminent, but because of anxiety about the future. After all, not everyone can be like Yang Chengliang and take their lives seriously. It has been less than half a year since everyone was rescued from a desperate situation, and they have not lived enough to live a stable life in front of them when they are full of food and bedding to sleep. In addition, in their hearts, everyone is actually the same as Wang Debao, hoping to save a sum of money as soon as possible, marry a wife, have children, and continue the incense.

"What's going on? The gang leader was not here in the morning, why did you all feel like you had been hit by hailstones?! The gang leader Zhang Si'an (Zhang San) suddenly broke in in a hurry, shook his head, and asked with a smile.

No one was able to answer his question. Those who rank in the top 100 in the assessment score go to serve as a personal soldier for Zhang Zhen's guard, which is hearsay, and whether they can be taken seriously or not is another matter. And who happens to be unlucky and falls under Ren Bing, it is a matter of half a month later. In order that it hasn't happened yet, just with something that may happen, and the mood is dull, everyone will definitely be worried about the jokes of Guy Zhang.

"Oh, I see, you can't bear to be the leader!" Zhang Si'an is older than everyone else and has a big heart, so he didn't get a response for a long time, so he immediately guessed with a smile. "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, come and get the identity card, everyone's whereabouts are decided. We people ......"

After a quick glance at Wang Debao, he lowered his voice apologetically, "We are still together for the time being, except for the fat man." ”

"I knew it!" Although he had been prepared in his heart, Wang Debao still felt that it was very unpleasant. He sighed and said stupidly.

"But you're not in a bad place!" Zhang Si'an glanced at Wang Debao again and whispered comfort. Immediately, he reached into the wooden box and quickly grabbed three bronze medals with strings, "Look at it, the identity card, on it is the number of the team where everyone is located, and his own number and surname." Don't lose it, if you change places or get promoted in the future, you have to hand it over and trade in the old for the new. ”

After that, he grabbed a bronze medal and hung it around his neck. Then he glanced at the second bronze medal and shouted in a low voice, "Lu Dechuan, from today onwards, he will become a soldier." Entered the first brigade and one team of the teaching regiment and became the leader of the second group. ”

"What, the Teaching Corps? What is the Teaching Group? Originally, he thought that he was going to be a personal soldier, but Lu Dechuan was taken aback, grabbed the bronze medal engraved with his name and number, and asked loudly.

"New place, I don't know the specifics. I also learned the news this morning when I was called to the captain's side for a routine lecture! Zhang San smiled and shook his head a little embarrassedly, "Anyway, it's not a bad place, I heard Captain Ren say that in this assessment, those who rank before the three hundred will enter the teaching group." The head of the regiment is the town guard envoy himself, and the deputy head is the uncle of the town guard envoy! ”

"Oh-" The cheers immediately resounded through the dormitory, and the beams of the room shattered. Everyone present, except for Wang Debao and Yang Chengliang, was so excited that the rest danced.

People are worried about the sky, and everyone is really worried about the sky just now. The town guard is so wise, how can he let everyone go to Ren Bing's hand to be angry again. Everyone is going to teach the regiment, not the pro-guard regiment. Although I don't know what the specific purpose of the teaching group is, with the town guard envoy personally serving as the head of the regiment, the future of everyone will definitely not be too bad.

"Yang Chengliang, you enter the first brigade and one team of the teaching regiment and be the leader of the third group!"

"Lu Guangsha, you are also a brigade and a team, forget it, I won't be verbose. Everyone is a brigade and a team, and you join the first group as a soldier. The others also sat up from the ordinary soldiers first, either following me, or following Lu Dechuan and Yang Shu, Yang Chengliang. ”

"Che Ping, you are the second group, and then the identity card, don't lose it!"

"Tang Ta, your third gang ......"

quickly sent the identity cards to everyone one by one, and then, with a smile, he explained a few words about the time of entering the camp and the precautions for holidays. The gang leader Zhang Si'an, like a big brother, turned his gaze to Wang Debao, who was already so embarrassed that he wanted to run away from the door, "Fatty, among our people, you are the most blessed." Although you didn't join the teaching group, do you remember a time when you put down paper and pen and paper, and asked everyone who can write and settle accounts to calculate the accounts on the paper? ”

"Of course I do!" Wang Debao blushed and scratched his head slightly, "I've been with you for so long, and I showed that face." ”

"That time, your face was right!" Zhang Si'an took out the last identity card from the wooden box, and pressed it into Wang Debao's hand with a smile, "Someone above has remembered your name." No, others will either enter the teaching regiment or go to the Xiliu Battalion, but you, because you are good at settling accounts, are assigned to the staff of the Chinese army and do the recording of the military cantonment. Assist Tuntian to join the army and take care of all the military fields around Broken Leaf City! From now on, it will be up to you how much grain you can harvest in the fields in your brothers' name. ”

"What? Guy Zhang, I've always been honest and obedient, don't you fool me? Wang Debao was shocked, waving his arms and shouting in protest.

The soldiers of the Broken Leaf Army are paid on a daily basis and on a monthly basis, and the treatment is far more generous than that of the county government. So no matter how hard the training was in the past four months, he gritted his teeth and persevered. thought that he could at least be a soldier and get a high salary of three yuan a month, but who would have expected that now someone told him that not only did the promising teaching group have no part for him, but he also couldn't do it as an ordinary soldier, so how could he be willing?

"The identity tag is here, you compare it yourself. No matter which battalion the soldier is in, he is a sword and a shield, but you are a cart plow and a waterwheel! The gang leader Zhang Si'an dodged, quickly took off his identity card, and threw it into Wang Debao's arms.

Wang Debao reached out and picked up the identity tag and compared it with his own box. Sure enough, I found that my identity card was very different from Zhang Si'an. turned his head and looked at the identity cards of Lu Dechuan, Yang Chengliang and others, but they all glanced at Zhang Si'an. It's just that Zhang Si'an, Lu Dechuan, and Yang Chengliang have three more Chinese characters on the back of the identity card, but Lu Guangsha, Ma Cheng, Che Ping, Tang Ta, Tang Geze, Bao Ge and others do not.

"Don't worry, I asked, you are a soldier, and you are also a soldier, and you are slightly higher than half a level, and the military salary and military field are equivalent to the commander." Just when he was so desperate that he was about to cry, Zhang Si'an's voice sounded again, which made people drink nectar, "Don't believe it, behind your identity card, there are also three words from Jiuxia, which means that after you report, the rank is from Jiupin, plus the military dismissal of the lieutenant of Rong." ”

"Really?" Wang Debao couldn't believe his ears, and with tears in his eyes, he turned over the identity card and carefully examined it. Sure enough, behind his identity card, he also found the same three words "from nine down" as Lu Dechuan, and suddenly, he burst into laughter.

"If I knew this, I wouldn't have worked so hard during the assessment?" deliberately amused everyone, Lu Guangsha smashed his mouth sourly on the side.

"Just you?" Zhang Si'an immediately turned his gaze to him, and counted with a smile, "The fat man of the family can calculate a good account, so he became a military record." You, if you don't take off your socks, can figure out how much seven plus eight is, even if I lose! ”

"Look down on people, don't you?" Lu Guangsha was furious, stretched out his fingers, and began to count seven plus eight. However, after counting to ten, he found that his fingers were not enough, and he immediately laughed and scratched his head.

"Okay, Brother Zhang, don't be embarrassed by Lu Wu." I am afraid that Lu Guangsha will be too embarrassed and hurt his face. Wang Debao hurriedly diverted the topic on the side, "Go, go, eat the morning food." Okay, after today's opening, what kind of ceremony, on vacation, let's go into the city to eat together! I'll please, I'll settle the bill, so that everyone can eat with an open belly! ”

"You should have been invited!" Zhang Si'an nodded unceremoniously, "Did you hear clearly, don't let the fat man feel distressed about losing half a pound of meat today, the gang leader can't wait with you!" ”

"Don't worry, we'll run!"

"We only eat half of the morning food and feeding, leaving the appetite to eat the fat man!"

"Go, you have to go! Lao Tzu trained hard for four months, which was not half a page as good as him. If you don't eat this breath, Lao Tzu is not convinced! ”

……

Everyone laughed and agreed, then grabbed the wooden rice bowl and walked towards the door in a hurry. I thought I could be happy all day, but I didn't expect that I had only walked more than ten steps, but I suddenly saw that Yang Chengliang was squatting down with his stomach covered, and cold sweat was rolling on his forehead and sideburns.

"What's wrong, Xiao Yang!"

"You won't drink dirty water and get sha!"

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, stomach pain is not a disease, you can get better with a large size!"

……

Everyone stopped in unison, gathered around Yang Chengliang, and asked questions. And Yang Chengliang, who had originally spoken very little, became more and more silent at the moment, covering his stomach with his hands, his face flushed, and he did not respond to everyone's questions for a long time.

"You won't be ......" Wang Debao suddenly realized, quickly took a few steps back, lowered his head, and looked at the heel of Yang Chengliang's shoes from behind. just found that a wisp of red was slowly oozing out along the junction of the other party's pants and leggings.
