The Northern Expedition has been in the northern frontier for several months, and this group of soldiers who were originally born in the south have now adapted to the cold of the northern frontier.

This cold is different from the clammy cold of the south, it is a kind of gritty cold, which can dry out the skin, lack moisture, and even worse, chapped lips and open flesh.

And to deal with such weather, there is one magic weapon that works the most, that is, wine.

It's just that after coming out of Humen, the army has not been near the city for a long time, and the discipline in the army is so strict that the soldiers cannot leave the barracks.

Earlier, with those people in the rivers and lakes, to be honest, it was somewhat convenient to buy wine.

It's expensive, but it's better than having a way.

For those Jianghu sects, it can be said that there is also an additional way to make money.

Now after coming out of Humen, most people have already drunk the wine they have hidden, and resisting such cold weather, the liquor in the hands of the wolf head is naturally a good thing.

The soldier was a real man, so he didn't drink much, but just raised his head and poured two sips, and when his body was warmer, he returned it to the wolf's head.

But that doesn't mean others are unmoved.

Just as the soldier was pouring his head up, two ruffian-looking soldiers not far away also saw the wine jug in the soldier's hand.

Finally, when he saw the soldier, he took two sips, and then gave it back to the wolf's head, and his eyes suddenly showed a greedy look.

After all, the old man of the wolf-headed Qiao Zhuang was skinny and decadent, and he obviously didn't know when he would die on the march.

The two did not doubt why there were still such soldiers in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the greed in their hearts had completely blinded their eyes.

The wolf head took the wine bag with a smile and carefully put it away, and the soldiers on the side also told with concern: "You put it away quickly, you are so old, I am afraid that someone will snatch it when they see it." ”

Being in the barracks, it is also in an environment where the weak eat the strong, it is not that the soldier is kind-hearted, in fact, if the old man drinks alone, he will also have a change in his heart, and he will also want to snatch the wine bag, but the old man did not drink a sip of it, only to see that he was cool and gave it to himself first.

But let the soldiers, I can't help but be a little moved.

This wine tastes different from the one I bought from the people in the rivers and lakes before, the taste is mellow, and after only two sips, there is still a mellow aroma churning between the lips and teeth.

The soldier knew that the thin old man in front of him was holding good wine, not the kind of inferior wine mixed with water by people in the rivers and lakes, but this wine must have cost the old man all his savings.

It was also because he thought of the old man's difficulty that the soldier said so.

But if someone really comes to rob it, the soldiers may not really come forward, and everyone comes to join the army, but it is just to eat.

The wolf head smiled and nodded, so he covered the wine bag in his arms a little tighter more cautiously, and then said to the soldier: "It's okay, it's not much, it's a waste for me to drink, I just like to smell it, if you're still cold, just ask me, drink it slowly, and leave me a fragrance." ”

Hearing what the wolf head said, the soldier suddenly understood why the old man could keep the wine bag in his arms for so long, it turned out that he had been smelling the wine all along, and he was reluctant to drink it.

The soldier was even more moved in his heart, and he also vaguely moved the idea of wanting to protect the old man as much as possible.

In fact, the wolf's head is very normal, in such a military camp, there have always been all kinds of old soldiers, most of these people have been in the army when they were young, accustomed to life under the military tent, and have no relatives, and they can't marry a daughter-in-law, so they have never quit when they are older.

As for the army, in fact, as long as it is not too much, it can be regarded as turning a blind eye.

After all, who knows if they will survive the next big war.

In the evening, after everyone had eaten supper, the wolf head and the soldiers went back to the camp.

This kind of small tent, sewn with animal skin, is a kind of special tent in northern Xinjiang, and seven or eight wolf skins are sewn, just enough for two or three people to sleep together.

Animal skins have never been scarce in the northern frontier, so this kind of tent has also become one of the necessities of the march.

Similar to the presence of a sleeping bag, the terrain can be ignored and it will not take up space to carry.

After the wolf head returned to the barracks this time, he happened to find this soldier, and originally this small wolf skin tent was three soldiers sleeping together, which was also able to warm up with each other.

But the other two had an accident in the previous battle, and the wolf head found a reason, after all, he was so disguised in rags, and it was reasonable to say that the tent was robbed by others.

With the sound of the northern whistling, a sound of footsteps stepping on the sand on the ground approached the tent of the two.

The wolf's head was still pretending to snore, but at this moment, his eyes had been opened, and under the bright and strange gaze, he had already faced the direction of several people through the tent.

It wasn't until these people approached that the soldier next to the wolf head suddenly woke up, but he thought that the wolf head was still asleep, so he gently touched the wolf head and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your wine." ”

The soldier whispered helplessly, apparently guessing the plans of the few people outside.

"Or give it to them."

The soldier was silent for a moment, and asked the old man's opinion softly, after all, listening to the footsteps outside, I am afraid that it is not a person, although the soldier is a little helpless in his heart, and even a little guilty, after all, it is because of himself that the old man's treasure was discovered.

But in the face of the footsteps of a few people outside, it was obvious that he couldn't do anything, so he could only persuade the wolf head.

"Ahem, okay."

The wolf head pretended to cough twice, and then agreed helplessly in his tone, but in the dark night, there was another emotion in those eyes with strange pupils.

"Don't hit me, I'll give you the wine."

The wolf's head said to a few people outside through the tent with a trembling voice, obviously hearing the wolf's head's voice, these people's footsteps paused for a moment, and then a slightly ruffian voice praised the wolf's head proudly:

"The old guy is sensible, okay, see that you are also an old bone, we won't embarrass you, throw it out."

The wolf head sighed softly, then looked at his fellow soldiers on the side and said, "You wait for me, I'll give them the wine sacs." ”

"Can't you just throw it at them?"

The soldier looked slightly hesitant, obviously not wanting the wolf's head to go out.

This is a rule that is not mentioned, everyone is a sergeant, and snatching things is inevitable, and it is generally better not to see the appearance of the other party in this case.
