Chapter 5 (37) Kindness and Friendship (Part II)

For a whole night, Wen Mu had been worrying about money. He searched for almost all the people he could talk to, and said all the good things he could, until the horn of the camp sounded at two o'clock before he returned to the barracks.

He found a stick, burned one over the flame of an oil lamp, and then crouched under the lamp niche, put the piece of paper on his knees, and meticulously wrote down the debts he owed, names, positions, and amounts...... After checking that it was correct, he put the piece of paper close to his body, and then returned to his bunk, and lay down by the dim light of the oil lamp.

The copper coins were in the blanket beside his pillow, and they were eleven and six hundred, which he had borrowed from sixteen men. He slowly rubbed the blanket through the rough thick linen, and felt the vague outline of the strings of copper in the blanket with his fingers, and his originally frizzy mood gradually calmed down. He looked up at the beams of the black hole, and planned for Sanniang what he could do with the money. The money is not much, but it is more than enough to rent an empty house facing the street, and you can sell some tea and food by buying some things...... Thinking about it, he sighed. If he was still working in the camp, he could have taken advantage of his position to give her a piece of the military chores of the brigade guards in the north, so that not to mention feeding her and the doll, even if she wanted to make a fortune, it was just around the corner......

"Lao Wen, what's wrong?" When the person on the bunk next to him heard his sigh, he turned his face and asked, "Let's go back to Shangjing after talking, what are you doing with a long sigh?" ”

"Nothing." Wen Mu said casually.

"nothing! Coax anyone. It's not like I didn't see what you did all night! The man said. This is the hussar sentry commander who lent money to Wen Mu earlier, surnamed Le, because his mother was born under the locust tree, so the single name is a locust character; There is also a nickname called Le Shovel Head.

"It's really nothing." Wen Mu said.

Le Huai got up halfway, stared at him strangely, and said with a smile: "I saw you in Yanyan at noon, and I also saw you go to the river to find the woman." That mother-in-law is not bad, no wonder she can charm you one by one, it is really good, the big flower eyes are very charming, the milk is big and the ass is round, and at first glance it can be born and raised...... "With his sigh of admiration, the people who did not sleep on the surrounding ground came to the spirit. The barracks are full of bachelors, women are a topic that will never get bored, as long as anything is touched with a woman, it is basically never finished, this said that Le Huai must want to think of his mother-in-law and want to go crazy and feel like a sow when he sees a sow, the woman who said that Wen Mu's vision is high and he looks down on is handsome, that must be nothing, and some people smacked their lips and asked: "Lao Wen, have you slept in the nest on the rolling kang", the topic is getting farther and farther, and the content is becoming more and more unbearable......

Wen Mu instigated his lips and didn't say anything, and when others asked him, he didn't hear anything, so he just thought about his thoughts.

But how could it be without him at this time? He wanted to pretend to be a gourd, and the person next to him couldn't agree. While arguing with people, Le Huai listened to people talk about all kinds of vulgar details, and asked him: "You are sad to become like this, don't you really remember that mother-in-law?" Seeing that Wen Mu still didn't speak, he thought he was worried about the days to come, so he helped him come up with an idea and said, "This thing is easy to do!" It doesn't matter if there is a Natseiji sign or not! If you stuff a few dollars into the camp scrivener's office, just say that she is your woman, and let the scrivener add a sum to the roster, won't there be nothing? When you arrive at the Liyuan camp, find a house outside the camp and settle down, and then settle down in the yamen, who will come to ask where your woman is coming from? ”

He even made a gesture and foamed at the mouth, and everyone around him nodded. Some people also said that Wen Mu is also a widower anyway, not to mention a woman halfway, even if he marries two or three, it is normal for him to marry two or three of them, he is a captain of a regular battalion, and he receives so much money, food, cloth and silk a year, so he has to find someone to help him spend it, right?

When it comes to money and food, everyone can't help but think of the salary owed, and people's mouths immediately become unclean, pointing to the Yanshan Wei Mansion and the fake commander and the blind man who are not doing things authentically. There are also people who claim that the mountain does not turn around, and one day they will give Yan Shanwei a little color to see!

In the midst of the indignation, someone suddenly sneered and said, "Save some effort." Yiyi still doesn't know what the result is when he returns to Liyuan, whether he can eat this bowl of rice again is a matter of two words......"

Although the sneer was small, it was as piercing as the cry of a night owl, nailed to people's hearts, and everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement, and in an instant the huge barn fell silent. In the sound of heavy breathing and wheezing, I saw the lights of the big warehouse room swaying without wind at one end and two beans, reflecting the gray and dark figures on the four walls, suddenly changing in length, steep and short, the dark shadows rose and fell like ghosts, and the beams and rafters on the horizontal and vertical brackets above the heads were like a mountain pressing on people's heads, trembling and towering as if they could collapse and fall at any time.

After being silent for a long time, someone scolded fiercely: "Wu Yanzi, suffered from your blood ancestor!" What are you doing with these rumors? Why don't you go to the toilet if you don't have a bird fart! ”

The Wu nephew just sneered and said no more.

Someone else said, "Wu Yanzi, what did you hear?" ”

Wu Yanzi let out a long sigh, as if he yawned, and then slowly said after a while: "I haven't heard anything about it......"

Immediately there was a curse in the barn.

Wen Mu lay on the bunk with his arms on his pillow, listening to the following with his ears pricked up. He had heard people say that one of Wu Yanzi's relatives worked in the yamen of the Yanshan Health Department, and it was said that he was still a big official. He didn't believe it before, but now he has believed it for six or seven points, maybe Wu Yanzi really knows some confidential things!

There are many officers here who are like-minded as him, and they all shout out at those who make a noise. They were worried about the way out after returning to Liyuan. Although it is said that the defeat of the grassland has nothing to do with these petty officers, no one dares to pack a ticket for this matter, and it is common for the imperial court to dismantle and merge several military brigades in anger to replace a group of generals; Even if there is no rush to do it in order to stabilize the army's morale at the moment, it will only last for an extra year or two......

When everyone stopped talking, Wu Yanzi said: "I haven't heard of anything extraordinary, it's not a big deal, but I heard that Li Wei was given a knighthood ......" Someone immediately scolded: "It's long overdue!" Why didn't you drag him to the vegetable market and behead him?! One by one, their family doesn't have a good thing! Li Wei, Li Wu, Li Shen, and that Li Zhen should all have their heads cut off! Wu Yanzi also ignored other people's comments and continued, "...... Xiao Dashuai is still locked up in the prison, I heard that the imperial court means not to let him lead the troops, and what do you say is that Lian is quite old, can he still eat......"

Hearing this, Wen Mu didn't have the heart to listen anymore. He had already heard that Wu Yuzi was just spreading falsehoods. Because although these things are only necessary sooner or later, and they are not necessarily very secret, first, it is impossible to spread to Yanshan so quickly, and secondly, even if Xiao Jian is punished, he will use some kind of cheap excuse to lose the battle one by one, and this alone is enough to cut off Xiao Laoshuai's head, where to find any reason. So this Wu nephew is just hearsay, and even his relatives are not necessarily how big an official he is.

Many people also saw that Wu Yuzi was bluffing, and even laughed and scolded plus a few dirty hard cakes, all of which made him shut up and sleep, and a noisy Le Huai scolded angrily: "Fuck it!" If we really can't fight, then I will admit it when we are disarmed and returned to the field! But this defeat is something we are willing to fight? Xiao, Xiao Dashuai ......" He said twice, but after all, he didn't finish his words, and turned the conversation with hatred, "That Li Wei is also an old fighter, who knows that this time he was blinded by the big oil, and he didn't even find out the enemy situation in a section of the Alegu River, so he dared to move the camp to the left bank and deviate to the west for forty miles. What the hell are we doing as soldiers? ”

As soon as he mentioned this, others immediately responded, and the barn suddenly scolded.

"That's it! Li Xiaofa fainted on the left side, and he was involved in the army, why should he just beat his knight? In my opinion, it's light to cut off heads! He should be dragged to a thousand cuts! ”

"Le Shovel is right, the generals are blindly commanding, and we big-headed soldiers dare not listen?"

"Alas, Xiao Shuai is still old, and when he looks at it, what have the blind businessmen he promoted done? Did he do a good thing other than withholding the brothers' wages? ”

The disturbances were also mixed with some words such as "everyone should be careful not to say a word" and "Xiao Shuai also has his difficulties", all of which were drowned out in a noisy debate......
