Chapter 172: The Strange Visitor
Oh, and thirty-four barracks have been built? β
After listening to Tang Sheng's report, Huaxing said with a happy face:
"I remember that we designed a room for ten people, so now there are more than three hundred soldiers living in it?"
This time, without waiting for Tang Sheng to speak, Zhang Liao, who was sitting on the side, preemptively said:
"Not only three hundred soldiers, but now all the soldiers live in it. Hehe, although it's a little crowded, it's better than setting up a tent in the wild, right? β
"They're all in?" Hua Xing looked surprised and said, "That's too crowded, right?" There aren't enough beds! β
"What's the use of a bed? Isn't it the same when you sleep on the floor? Zhang Liao said with a disdainful face:
"When I look at the master, he is a person who has never lived a hard life! More than 20 people crammed into a room, which is already very good. When I was in the state, I used to live in a room for 40 or 50 people. Don't be afraid of the two jokes, it really stinks worse than a pigsty......"
As soon as these words came out, the three people in the room burst into laughter.
After reporting their work, Zhang and Tang planned to leave.
But before leaving, they were stopped by Huaxing and asked them to bring a pile of food at the door to the camp.
Squatted down and looked at it carefully, and listened to Tang Sheng's puzzled expression:
"General, you have rice and noodles here, as well as melons, fruits, vegetables, and even big bones and eggs...... Where did all this stuff come from? β
"Alas! All of them were left behind by the villagers who had come to visit me in the past few days. β
During this time, I don't know who spread the news of Huaxing's injury.
Under the leadership of the head of Yongcun Village, thirty or forty people have come to visit Huaxing, and every time they come, they will not be empty-handed, and everyone brings gifts.
Although Huaxing has always emphasized that he does not accept gifts, the villagers do not listen to him at all, and many people throw down their things and run, not giving Huaxing a chance to refuse at all.
In addition, Huaxing is injured and can't chase it out, so the things on the ground are piling up more and more.
Now, just relying on Huaxing and a few of them will definitely not be able to eat, in order to avoid waste, they have to let Zhang Liao and them take them to the barracks for the soldiers to eat.
As for the friendship of the villagers, he can only find a way to repay it in the future.
As soon as he heard this, Tang Sheng was no longer polite, and carried the ingredients all over the ground to the camp with Zhang Liao.
β¦β¦
Not long after Tang and Zhang left, Hua Xing was just about to finish the bowl of Dong Bai's rice porridge, when there was another knock on the door.
The person who entered the house this time surprised Huaxing.
Walking in front is Zuo Feng's right-hand man, Lin Qi, the third master, who they met twice before during negotiations. On the one hand, because of his special appearance, and on the other hand, because of his good skills, he left a deep impression on Huaxing.
The person who followed Lin Qi, Hua Xing saw it for the first time.
The man was similar to Lin Qi, tall but not strong. Dressed in black, his face was also covered with pus and acne, and he was another ugly in the "Mine Double Ugly", named Wu Fan.
After looking at the two people who entered the room, Huaxing involuntarily raised his eyebrows:
"Huh? What a rarity, huh? This is not Lin Zhuangshi andγAnd ......"
Seeing that Hua Xing couldn't call his companion's name, Lin Qi first clasped his fists and saluted, and then introduced in his hoarse voice:
"Oh, this is my good friend Wu Fan. I heard that the general was wounded, and I came to visit him today. β
Hearing this, Wu Fan also stepped forward and nodded at Hua Xing: "In Xia Wu Fan, I have seen and seen General Hua." β
To say that this Wu Fan's voice is also very strange, not only hoarse, but also gives people a very aggrieved feeling, Hua Xing couldn't help but clear his throat when he heard it:
"Ahem, it turned out to be Wu Zhuangshi. I'm sorry, there is an injury in the body, the doctor will not let you get out of bed, please feel free to sit down. β
"Thank you, General." Lin Qi was not polite at all, thanked him and pulled Wu Fan to sit on the chair.
It stands to reason that since I'm here to visit myself, I have to say something, right?
But the two of them were surprisingly quiet, sitting opposite each other for more than half a minute, and the atmosphere in the room was quite awkward.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Huaxing could only take the initiative to find a topic:
"By the way, Zuo Feng and Wei Kuo also came two days ago. I heard from them that after this period of running-in, the new soldiers have adapted to life in the battalion? β
"Well, being able to eat a full stomach and receive a military salary is already very satisfying for them." Lin Qi replied lightly.
"Oh, that's good. I heard that Lin Zhuangshi used to be a soldier in Hongnong? β
"Yes."
"Then why haven't I seen you before?"
"There are many Hongnong soldiers, and I am just an ordinary soldier, even if the general sees it, he may not remember it."
After a simple response, I saw Lin Qi stand up from the chair without warning, and hugged his fist at Huaxing:
"That...... It's not early, we should go back to work, so we won't bother the general and take our leave. β
After speaking, without waiting for the other party's reaction, Lin Qi pulled Wu Fan and walked towards the door, and disappeared outside the door in a blink of an eye.
Hua Xing, who was lying on the bed, was confused, and he didn't understand which one these two guys who came and went in a hurry were playing.
said that they came to see themselves, but after the two entered the house, not only did they not ask a word about their illness, but they didn't even bother to say anything about ordinary conversations. The Manchu stayed for two minutes and then left the room.
This is the first time Huaxing has encountered such a way of visiting patients.
As soon as the two of them went out, a faint wry smile crossed his face.
β¦β¦
Leaving the ward, Lin Qi did not return to the barracks directly, but dragged Wu Fan to the vicinity of the wheat field.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Lin Qi said with a little displeasure:
"Xiaofan, why didn't you speak just now? Before, you had to go to see Huaxing, so I accompanied you, but you didn't say a word, let me chat with him. Didn't you mean to hurt me? β
"I'm sorry, IβI didn't mean to." Wu Fan lowered his head and whispered.
At this moment, whether it is Lin Qi or Wu Fan, their voices are neither hoarse nor unpleasant, but somewhat pleasant.
Obviously, their usual hoarse timbre is deliberately pretended.
"Alas! It's really okay to take you. Next time you want to go, it's better for you to go by yourself, in case he recognizes you, it's going to be troublesome. β
After complaining again, I saw Lin Qi suddenly ask:
"By the way, why the hell are you going to see him? Did you know each other before? β
"No, we don't know, we've never met!" Wu Fan immediately denied it.
"Don't recognize?" Lin Qi looked suspicious and said, "Then why don't you drag me to see him?" β
"IβI just heard that he's very good, so I want to see my ......"
"Hey! Lying in bed, unable to even take care of life, what's there to see? If you really want to see it, you should hope that he recovers quickly. When it came to the battlefield, Huaxing at that time was worth seeing! Speaking of this, Lin Qi's eyes involuntarily flashed with admiration.
