Chapter 72: Brothers-in-Arms
Xue Rengui, who left the barracks smoothly, carefully looked around while looking for Erya.
However, he searched for a long time where Erya stayed before, but he didn't find Erya, which made him worry in his heart.
But he didn't dare to shout loudly, after all, this place was not far from the barracks, and he didn't want to be cleared out because he left the barracks without permission.
And just when Xue Rengui was anxiously looking for Er Ya and the younger brothers and sisters of those comrades-in-arms, by a stream not very far from him, forty or fifty children around seven or eight years old, and the eldest one was about ten years old, all staring at a broken clay pot and secretly swallowing saliva.
The contents of the clay pot are not delicacies from the mountains and seas, just some wild vegetables and a little bit of chestnut rice.
"Sister Erya, can you eat? I'm so hungry," spoke a little girl who these children picked up today when they went to catch locusts for chestnut rice.
"Wait a minute, I'll be able to eat soon, hey, I don't know what's going on with my brother today" After speaking, Er Ya looked at the barracks while stirring the food in the clay pot.
It turned out that today, as usual, Erya went to wait outside the barracks for her brother to bring food to her, but when she saw Li Chengqian entering, her brother was punished, and she was very worried.
But because there were guards patrolling outside, she didn't dare to get too close, and her brother had not come out, so she was hungry, so she planned to catch some locusts to eat, but she hadn't gone far before she saw a few children like her waiting for her brother to send food, and inquired, and learned that it was the same as her, so she told them what she saw.
After those children learned that their brother might not be able to come out today, they went to catch locusts with Erya, and then they became like this.
But these Xue Rengui didn't know, he was looking for Erya and others aimlessly there, and finally just when he was about to give up and plan to go back to call someone, he saw a bright light in the distance, and he hurried over.
When he approached, he saw that it was a group of children, and Erya was also there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Erya, why are you here, you're really worried about me, you ......" Xue Rengui said as he saw the wild vegetables and chestnut rice in the broken clay pot, and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.
"Brother Rengui, why are you here, I see that someone came today, you were all punished, what is going on, and there are a lot of soldiers patrolling outside today" Er Ya saw that the person who came was Xue Rengui, and he just raised his heart because he heard the voice, so he put it back.
"That's the one who hired me and your brother, I won't tell you his identity, you just need to know that we are very good, and your brother and I plan to stay forever, so when we rest, we will build you a wooden house here, you live first, and I tell you, as long as we wait for next month, we can get the money, and we can buy you food, by the way, these children, are their eldest brothers also there like me" Regarding the question of Erya, Xue Rengui did not say Li Chengqian's identity, But he told her what he had agreed with Ergou.
"Yes, they are all" After listening to Xue Rengui, she knew that her brother was very good, and she was also very happy, so she quickly answered Xue Rengui's question.
"It's good if it's them, I'm still afraid, I can't find them, it's good to be here, come here is your brother and their brother, let me bring you food, you can take it and eat it" After saying that, Xue Rengui was suitable for the identity of those children one by one, and after confirming that it was correct and everyone was there, he took out the food he was carrying.
Erya and those children stared at the soup cakes and braised pork when they saw it, and when Xue Rengui handed them what their brother gave, they devoured them.
Seeing that they were eating very deliciously, Xue Rengui still told them not to finish eating, keep some and eat tomorrow, because according to today's training, they may still not be able to come out during the day.
After that, he got up and left after explaining to Erya, but before leaving, he checked around and found that there was no trace of wild beasts nearby, so he hurried to the barracks.
Back at the barracks, after he had told the children's brothers everything, at his suggestion, they planned to go out together to get a place for their younger siblings to rest when they had a rest, and let the older two girls take care of them on their behalf, while they fought hard here.
For Xue Rengui's proposal, everyone agreed, and some people also said that they would give Erya some money, which made Erya very angry, "I'm about to turn my face when I'm mentioning money, we're now comrades-in-arms, let my sister help, you give me back the money, you look down on me, and we are soldiers, maybe we'll die on the battlefield at any time, help me take care of my sister when the time comes, I'll be content"
Hearing Ergou's words, everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all reacted, yes, they are soldiers now, and they will go to the battlefield in the future, who knows when they will die, so they don't say anything.
And with their discussion, those teenagers who were already orphans also proposed that they also wanted to help, not for anything else, just for the second dog's sentence, they are soldiers, they want to go to the battlefield, they want people to remember them, and they are also born in poor families, and they also have younger brothers and sisters before, but they are all dead.
After finally discussing it, they hurried to rest, Xue Rengui looked at his comrades-in-arms who went to rest one by one, and he was indescribably moved, because at this moment they were no longer just comrades-in-arms, but already brothers, and this change happened completely in one day today.
In this way, in the next few days, they received Li Chengqian's endless training content and methods every day, such as queues, sit-ups, push-ups, etc., these seem to be nothing, but they are indeed played by Li Chengqian, what is a move, an order, the upgraded version of sit-ups, is the kind of feet together and raised, and when doing this, he has to listen to Li Chengqian's lectures, although these are all from his previous life, but don't want to watch them tortured every day, Li Chengqian's heart is happy, of course, if he doesn't do it together, Then he will be even happier.
But even in this case, they would still save the food and Xue Rengui would take it out to Erya and them at night, although Li Chengqian didn't know all this.
However, in the past few days, they not only learned simple mathematical operations according to Li Chengqian's requirements, but also completed simple queue training, which made Li Chengqian very satisfied with them.
Of course, the most satisfying thing is that he and the little fat man Li Tai have passed the training of the past few days, plus a large number of medicinal baths, although it cannot be said that they have caught up with them in terms of physical strength and strength, but they have not fallen too much, after all, age is their hard injury, but in the next training, Li Chengqian does not plan to let Li Tai and himself participate in the whole process, not that he is afraid of suffering, but that he is afraid that he will hurt their bodies in the future, although there is a medicinal bath, but he is still not at ease, he does not want to do such a thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.
