The night guards brought back twelve war horses and six corpses, and worked until dawn, when they were almost discovered by the aliens. The soldiers in the city were excited, and the Yizi camp had meat sauce to eat and broth to drink.

Zhang Xiaowu and others overfulfilled the task, although they brought back few arrows and weapons, but there was more meat, and everyone was even happier. Back in the city, the night guards nodded and smiled at each other, glad that they were still alive, especially patting Zhang Xiaowu's back one by one to express their admiration for him. The chief who didn't collect at night said: "Little brother, when you go out of the city in the future, you will be the team leader, and I will give you a hand." ”

Zhang Xiaowu smiled: "No." ”

"Don't be modest."

"I mean, you can't beat me, I think you're stupid."

"Hahaha......" Everyone laughed loudly, and he was funny and helpless, encountering such a living treasure.

Luo Zhen asked them to rest in the tent under the city wall for the time being, and then return to their respective barracks when the sky was slightly bright, and they didn't have to be on duty to rest today.

Zhang Xiaowu was also tired, and he didn't care that his whole body was full of the smell of blood and death, so he fell asleep with everyone when he entered the tent. Feeling that he hadn't slept for long, he was woken up, got up and saw that the sky was faintly bright, and saw Luo Zhen shouting at the top of his voice: "It's dawn, let's go back to the barracks of each team." ”

Everyone and other comrades-in-arms returned to their respective barracks, but Zhang Xiaowu, who had just woken up, felt that the smell on his body was really bad, so he fetched a basin of water next to the well in the barracks, and then stripped himself naked and took a shower.

After rubbing for a long time, he couldn't clean the bloody stench on his body, and more sunlight drilled out of the eastern horizon, Zhang Xiaowu raised his head and looked, the sunlight was a little dazzling. He stretched out his hand and let the sun shine on his hand, and saw that it was glowing red, and his fingers and nails were stained with black-brown plasma. He first picked out his right fingernail with his left hand, and then picked his left fingernail with his right hand, and it took a while for the plasma to be peeled off little by little, revealing his blackened nails.

"It's time to cut the cuts." He was very satisfied with the results of his nail picking, but suddenly laughed inexplicably, he lived a very delicate life in his previous life, but now he is satisfied with such a rough life, is his desire for life much lower.

Other soldiers had already gotten up, and a veteran saw Zhang Xiaowu taking a bare-chested bath in the cold weather, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "That kid, but he didn't collect it all night, and the smell of the corpse on his body couldn't be washed off, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu replied: "Brother, do you have the experience to get rid of corpse odors?" ”

The old soldier yawned and said, "There is only one place in the earth city that can remove the smell of corpses from you, and I am afraid that you will not dare to go." ”

Zhang Xiaowu grinned and said: "Why don't you dare, the seniors said to listen to it." ”

The veteran laughed and said: "There is a place in Tucheng called the Red Moon Building, and the girls in the Red Moon Mansion are fragrant all day long, just because of the merits of soaphorn and fragrant pancreas." They have a rule, if you want to sleep with them, in addition to the silver, you must wash it first, otherwise no matter how rich but stinky the ladies are, the girls will not serve you happily. It's a pity that they don't sell their bodies, if you don't sleep with them, they will definitely refuse to give you a fragrant pancreas to cleanse yourself, but if you sleep with them, I'm afraid that the military salary in your pocket will be gone. ”

Zhang Xiaowu opened his mouth wide and couldn't cry or laugh, what the hell did this old guy come up with, let himself go to the Qinglou, and he was so bad that he could say it - why didn't others tell him earlier. Zhang Xiaowu touched his pocket, last night outside the city, he dug out a lot of gold and silver from the dead man's pocket, and this money should be enough for him to take a bath.

The veteran blinked his eyes and smiled: "Boy, be happy in time, we can't help ourselves one day." ”

Zhang Xiaowu arched his hand and said: "Senior, senior, thank you." The old man laughed and went to the latrine. Zhang Xiaowu scrubbed several times again before going back to the house to make up for sleep. As for whether he goes to Hongyue Tower or not, it doesn't matter, he is already a gift from God when he is reborn again, people say that people who are idle love to think nonsense, he lies on the kang and can't sleep repeatedly, thinking about where he should go in the future, and after a while, he actually fell asleep again.

When he woke up, it was already noon, Zhang Xiaowu put on his clothes and pants, tied his hair in a bun and went out, and saw that several other "night don't close" had already gotten up and were lazily basking in the sun, and there was still a fishy smell on his body. They have experienced danger together, dragged back dead horses and dead camels together, and everyone got acquainted with each other, so they greeted and talked to each other, especially Zhang Xiaowu's night vision is good, he is strong, and most of the search work is done by him, and everyone is boasting again and again.

One person said, "Don't forget to take care of your brother when you get promoted in the future." ”

Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly said modestly: "I have only been a soldier for half a month, how can I be a captain-let's be a military commander first." ”

"Don't be modest, just rely on your kid's guts, as long as you survive for a few days, you can be a captain." A white-bearded old soldier laughed and said, "It's hard to get promoted on a regular basis, but when the war comes, it's very easy - as long as you survive." ”

Zhang Xiaowu asked: "If the whole battalion is dead, then won't I become a military candidate?" ”

After listening to it for a few nights, he immediately laughed, this kid is very bold, he dares to say this, if Ding Yi knows, he has to poke him to death with an iron shovel.

Zhang Xiaowu chatted with everyone for a few words and became hungry, and slowly came to the cooking room of the former capital team to inquire about food, and saw that the people in the cooking room were cutting horse meat to make minced meat. An old pawn commanded everyone to cut off the best horse meat and put it aside, saying that these were to be left to adults, but the people didn't say anything, but followed Zhang Xiaowu behind him for a night and didn't get angry, and said: "These horses were all brought back by our hard work last night, we didn't eat good things, but we gave them to the adults, what kind of heart do you have?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu stopped the soldier and persuaded: "Don't talk nonsense, beware of being heard by the Shangguan and killing you, just eat it for them, it's a big deal next time let's divide the meat outside now and bring it back." The soldier was displeased, and complained, "Why did we give them the meat we had earned so hard?" Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Blame your ancestors, your ancestors are just a common people, if your ancestors work hard to become a scholar, aren't you also a general now?" The man Hao laughed and said, "I can't eat meat today to blame my ancestor?" ”

"Yes, yes."

The man sneered, but he also knew that his arms could not be twisted into his thighs, so he walked away angrily.

The old man in charge of cooking came over and sneered: "That kid doesn't know how to advance and retreat, and he deserves to be a big soldier for the rest of his life." ”

Zhang Xiaowu arched his hand and said, "Uncle, when will the food be prepared?" "Now there is a shortage of food in the city, and they eat only two meals, the morning food at the beginning of the morning (10 a.m.) and the morning eclipse at the beginning of the morning (4 o'clock in the afternoon), and the night does not take down an extra meal, which is called the evening meal, which is the bread they ate last night.

"I know you were busy all night last night, and I prepared bread for you early." The old man laughed, and then ordered the people to move the bread and vegetable soup out, and the people who did not harvest it at night were hungry early, and they ate and drank one after another. Zhang Xiaowu also got two pieces of bread and chatted with others while eating. The biggest advantage of staying up late is that you can eat more, but it is also more dangerous.

Zhang Xiaowu was eating the dough while running to the stove room to look around, and actually saw a lot of internal organs being thrown on the ground, and couldn't help asking: "Uncle, how to deal with the internal organs in the water?" ”

The old pawn said: "Are you talking about these stinky meats?" What else can I do, go back and feed the pigs and dogs, and those livestock can eat. "The so-called stinky meat refers to the internal organs of animals.

Zhang Xiaowu exclaimed: "Feed the pigs? What a pity. "You must know that although he was not a Cantonese in his previous life, he also knew that the water after cleaning up was as delicious as lean meat. Although in his previous life, he ate most pigs, cattle and sheep, and never ate horse meat, but he might as well use this horse meat in the water is still a dish. He stepped forward, took the knife from the man's hand, cut off the horse's heart, pointed it, and said, "It's all meat." He cut off the horse's liver again and said, "This thing is made into a soup to cure night blindness, so that everyone can see clearly at night." ”

The old soldier looked at him in embarrassment, and said in a muffled voice: "Military law says that you are not allowed to eat stinky meat." ”
