Chapter Ninety-Nine: Camp (Happy New Year)
In his previous life, Zhang Xiaowu was still free to live and work alone in his thirties, although he was chic and happy, but he also found out in the dead of night or after getting drunk with others, and the house behind him was empty and a little desolate. His parents are small businessmen, he was a nerd who can only read and read and read since he was a child, and after graduating from college, he took the civil service exam in a daze, and after work, because the character of the nerd is very unsmooth, especially in the government department, he was repeatedly tempered by the intrigue and the unbelievable method of greedy ink, and then he was kicked to a public institution like the library, and he became a small section chief in the dark.
Since then, his heart has completely abandoned the bookish spirit, and slowly accepted and learned from other people, so that even things like marriage have to consider the other party's family background and relationship. Finally one day he woke up to the fact that marriage is not a transaction, let alone a tool of power, but it has also stumbled to his thirties.
The most terrible thing about a man in his thirties is not that he is suddenly interested in a man, nor is he suddenly not interested in a woman, but that he sees through the essence of life and falls in love with a single life. So Comrade Zhang Xiaowu ate hot pot and sang songs, and occasionally had an ambiguous relationship with the blind date introduced by his colleagues in the unit, and his life was full and happy.
Many female comrades working in public institutions have no hope of being promoted, and they are most keen to protect people's media, especially elderly lesbians, in their eyes, the single dog Zhang Xiaowu must be saved. So he is often arranged by colleagues and leaders on blind dates, and even becomes a frequent visitor to the unmarried youth association of organs and institutions organized by the trade union every year. At that time, his requirements were also very simple, his appearance should be like Tong Liya, his figure should be like Liu Yan, his personality should be like Liu Shishi, and his ability to handle things should be like Lin Chiling. It's a pity that few people can do this kind of "simple" request in real life, so the old man has been lonely.
I have always met Yin Jiu'er, who got married first and then fell in love - why did you think of Jiu'er again?
Zhang Xiaowu scratched his head unconsciously, shook his head and smiled bitterly, he suddenly found that he might be affected by Miss Gu's Yingsheng Yanyu, originally thinking about the future, but suddenly thinking of women. No wonder there is an old saying that after being a soldier for three years, watching the old sow race the sable, it has only been a few months, and I actually think how good the creature is "woman".
Zhang Xiaowu thumped his head, suppressed his emotions, and saw that the soldiers had prepared their meals, so he beckoned everyone to eat immediately.
Lord Shi has a very good personality and eloquence, even if he is surrounded by many strange soldiers, he is not timid at all, but he talks eloquently like a river, really like a female storyteller. When she was in Longdu City, Lord Shi was a friend of the high-rollers and rangers in the streets, she liked the life like a ranger, and also longed for this kind of precarious but free life. Maybe the lord of Shi County was too strictly controlled by the princess of Nanyang County, and he was used to being too indulgent by the king of Nanyang County, and he was only sixteen years old and was the first tyrant of Longdu City. There was once a time when the arrogant subordinates of the Seven Princes bullied an honest man and were beaten up by the rangers called by Lord Shi. The Seven Princes were so arrogant and domineering in Longdu, but they didn't dare to fight against the rangers of Lord Shi, so they could only swallow this evil breath.
Some soldiers crowded over and pushed down others, and the county lord actually pointed at the soldier's nose and scolded, without a little bit of the county lord's virtuous appearance, those soldiers were scolded but triumphant: "Look, the county lord scolded me, have any of you been scolded by the county lord?" Everyone burst into laughter, but the county lord was not angry.
Seeing that the eldest lady of the Gu family couldn't do anything, she pulled the placket of the county lord's clothes and signaled to leave, but the county lord still ignored it, so angry that the eldest lady Gu could only return to the car. However, Miss Gu Er stared curiously at Zhang Xiaowu in the distance, and saw him sitting on a stone looking into the distance. The breeze blew, and the red shawl around Zhang Xiaowu's neck also fluttered with the wind, he stood up, turned around to look, and collided with Miss Gu Er's eyes.
The resolute eyes of the man in the distance shone with light, and suddenly, Miss Gu Er's heart seemed to be caught, and the whole person was stunned. She only felt that she had emptied everything, there were only those bright eyes between heaven and earth, and in an instant, a poem came out of Gu Ruoxi's heart: "Mo Shang Young Man, Du is the most romantic." ”
In an instant, Zhang Xiaowu shrewdly caught the gaze behind him, he pulled the knife in one hand and was ready to attack, and suddenly turned to look, only to see a pair of discerning eyes looking at him smartly.
This is a little embarrassing, it turned out to be a girl with a veil, Zhang Xiaowu nodded with a smile, and laughed at himself in his heart: After marching and fighting for a long time, did he have "war syndrome", and felt that everyone was planning to assassinate himself. He knew that this was a certain young lady of the Gu family, but he didn't know if it was the eldest lady or the second lady, or even which county lord.
However, at first glance, Zhang Xiaowu's mood was much better, he let go of his waist knife and nodded to Miss Gu, and then turned around to inspect.
Miss Gu Er was stunned for a moment, staring at Zhang Xiaowu's distant figure before returning to the car for a long time. Miss Gu was the most delicate, and when she saw that her sister was stunned, she hurriedly asked, "Ruoxi, who messed with you?" ”
"No one messed with me." The second lady Gu Ruoxi was busy saying goodbye, and the eldest lady Gu wanted to ask again, but it happened that the maid brought lunch, so she skipped this topic. Gu Ruoxi leaned on the car window, looking out through the gauze tent, and when she asked again, she didn't speak.
As the sun was too hot, the group rested a little longer, and in the evening, the convoy arrived at the forest where the Fountain of Life was located. When he came before, everyone in the Dead Soldier Camp camped here, and they knew a little about this place, so Zhang Xiaowu decided to rest here.
In addition to the Fountain of Life, there is also an open area in the forest, which is slightly higher than the surrounding area. According to local guides, this should have been the tomb of a Roland emperor 600 years ago, but more than 600 years have passed, and the vicissitudes of the sea, the former mountain, now only a small mound is slightly raised.
Zhang Xiaowu originally planned to rob the tomb and be a captain who touched gold, but Wu Song was familiar with the history of Roland, he said that the Roland people pay attention to thin burials, and they come and go to space, space, space, and space, so the Roland princes and nobles only wrapped themselves in a shroud and buried them in the ground when they were buried, but they built a hill with stones to remember the deceased.
"Grandma, the Roland people are going to be angry with the tomb robbers, they dug a mountain, but there was nothing but a big dumpling, you guys are going crazy." Zhang Xiaowu said in his heart.
Not long after everyone came to the mound and camped down, Chen Boqing, the general of the Gu family, learned that he actually lived on a tomb, and his heart was immediately dissatisfied. Although the soldiers of the Dead Soldier Battalion were fearless and did not avoid ghosts and gods, after all, the ladies of the Gu family were noble, and he directly found Zhang Xiaowu and asked if he could be stationed elsewhere.
Zhang Xiaowu frowned and said: "The terrain here is high, and it is easy to defend if you stand high and look far. ”
Chen Boqing asked: "Does Zhang Xiaozuo think that there will be sand bandits here today?" ”
Zhang Xiaowu said cautiously: "Today, the scouts have seen three figures haunting the convoy, I am not sure if these dead sand bandits will attack tonight, but in the vast northern wasteland, if the sand bandits attack on horseback, this forest and this mound are the best places for us to defend." ”
Chen Boqing also began to worry: "If the sand bandits really come......
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I have already done a good job of defense, if they come, they will definitely be told to come and go, and Chen Daxia can rest in peace." ”
