Chapter 121: How Bitter?
The Hulin Army barracks, a small school field, a fierce Keju game is going on, and the well-known Keju rules are different, the Keju game in this school field, each side has a door. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Kemari, this sport has appeared in the Central Plains since a long time ago, just like kakutari (sumo), originally mainly popular in military camps, is a group confrontation competition, although now has gradually evolved into an ornamental Keju performance, but the Keju of the Tiger Forest Army still emphasizes confrontation.
The rules of the Tiger Forest Army, and the common rules of the Keju are completely different, divided into two halves, a total of 90 minutes, the two teams of players are dressed in black, 100 crotch, each team of eleven people, including a 'goalkeeper', except for the goalkeeper, no one can touch the ball with their hands.
There is one referee, two linesmen, each team has three substitutes, two yellow cards are equivalent to a red card, and the players have no substitutions after being kicked off the field, anyway, it is the football rules of later generations.
Due to the technical level of this era, the ball used in Keju cannot be a hollow ball, but a ball filled with feathers, and the players naturally cannot wear shorts, shorts and feet to wear football boots, everything is the 'characteristic clothing' of this era.
In order to prevent the soldiers from being injured in the process of bowing, knee pads and elbow pads are indispensable, and leggings are tied to the calves.
Modern football, through time and space to this era, the initiator Yu Wenwen, is now sitting in the stands watching the game, unlike other spectators who shouted and cheered, he was a little silent.
Because of the past few days thinking about how to open the cable telegraph technology tree, he is a little anxious, as the so-called "baby does not say, the baby is bitter", he can't find someone to talk to, can only boil his own belly, so until now, his lips have blistered,
He doesn't want to open his mouth if he can't speak, but...
"Biography! Transmit! Transmit! Pass, bastard! That's right! Right... Shoot! Shot! Shoot... Ah!! ”
A close-range volley, the goalkeeper couldn't save, and saw that the ball was about to go in, but it flew past the door frame, and there was an exclamation in the stands, Yuwen couldn't help but shout, and grinned in pain.
"The king is on fire?" Li Shimo, who was on the side, asked, today it was the soldiers under his command who formed a team, wearing white crotch and fighting against the recruits of the new barracks wearing black crotch, so he personally came to the scene to cheer and shout.
"yes, it's not all a few bubbles."
"King, please eat less meat on weekdays, after all, fish produce phlegm and flesh make fire."
Li Shimo still spoke with a big grin, Yu Wenwen didn't mind, after all, it wasn't so tiring to talk to someone with such a personality, of course, this refers to being tired.
"It's not about eating meat... Hey, hey, sneak attack! ”
The recruit goalkeeper kicked the ball off and kicked it into the midfield position with one kick, and the tall McIron rod got the ball, used his scud, and rushed towards the veteran goal with the ball.
Mai Tie cane has long hands and long feet, but his body is very flexible, like a monkey flashing the interception of many players on the other side, and soon rushed to the opponent's penalty area, and then kicked it in stages, the goalkeeper made a judgment to save, and the result...
The wheat iron rod kicked it empty!
The force was too fierce, Mai Tiecane's body was unstable, and the opponent's goalkeeper fell to the ground at the same time, the ball rolled to the side, and the players on both sides rushed up to grab the ball when they saw this, but they were kicked to the side by Zhang Dinghe of the recruit team.
The figure swayed, and the recruit Hu Si Wanshan rushed up to make up for it, only to kick the ball into the goal frame when it was close at hand, and just as the audience was lamenting, another recruit player hit the ball that fell in mid-air with a header into the goal.
"The ball is in!"
The recruits cheered loudly around the scorer, and the referee blew his whistle: "Two to two!" ”
"This year's recruits are good, how many did you grab?" Yu Wenwen asked, Li Shimo was a little embarrassed when he heard this: "Just two or three, many of them went to the front team." ”
"Playing with your life as soon as you come up? You can't have been tricked, right? ”
"King, where do you dare to deceive?" Tian Zhengyue on the other side said with a smile, "Most of these people who take the initiative to join the army want to get ahead, and only the most risky front team has the opportunity to make great contributions." ”
"I can't think about it, where are the newcomers going to play their lives."
Yuwenwen hummed because of a sore mouth, the front team of the Tiger Forest Army is the vanguard of breaking the formation, the casualty rate is extremely high, but the probability of meritorious service is also high, and the equipment is still double pay, so there is no shortage of people, and the newcomers can only be substitutes, and they will have a chance to go until the previous one dies or is injured and loses combat effectiveness.
"Anyway... Hey, then again, the vanguard team would rather be lacking than excessive, and it's not a joke to charge on foot while wearing heavy armor, don't choose those bean sprouts! ”
"The last general doesn't dare to mess around, the routine assessment of the battle front team is the strictest!"
"Of course, you have to be strict, if you go to the battlefield and the front team can't break through, it's your turn to take someone to break through!"
"The last general commands!"
。。。。。。
In a corner of the barracks, Yu Wenwen was inspecting the recruit dormitory, and the recruits who enlisted in the first half of the year withdrew one-third of them after the trial period, and the remaining two-thirds gritted their teeth and persevered through the recruit period.
According to their performance and ability, the recruits were divided into various units, some pikemen, some archers, and some were joined as alternates in the front team, and in a few days they had to move to the barracks of the regular soldiers, freeing up the dormitories for the next group of recruits.
"Zhang Dinghe, is your daughter-in-law relieved now?"
"Back to the king, the one at home has long hair and short knowledge, and he is too lazy to pay attention to her."
"No matter if it doesn't work, the swords and arrows on the battlefield are not long-sighted, and your daughter-in-law's worries are not wrong, before you go on the expedition in the future, go to the temple to burn more incense."
"Yes, my lord."
Yuwen Wen is chatting with recruit Zhang Dinghe and others, although he is busy with official business, he always finds time to walk around the barracks, and this year's recruits can often see him, so there is no restraint in conversation.
Zhang Dinghe is a native of Chang'an, his family background is ordinary and even a little poor, he wants to get ahead so he wants to join the army, and his daughter-in-law wants to live a small life, and always feels that it is too dangerous for her husband to join the army, and the young couple naturally make trouble from time to time.
"Women, they just like to play petty, if you have time to take her around the city and watch shadow puppets or something."
"King, the ticket price of Changle Fang is very expensive." A group of recruits complained that of course they wanted to go to see a shadow puppet show, and although they were paid a lot a month, they had to save it for their families, so they all became slammed on the door.
"Changle Fang has discounts from time to time, you should pay more attention."
Yu Wenwen habitually began to solicit customers, and when he was talking, he saw Mai Tiezhu walking in with a jug, full of herbal smell, and couldn't help but be interested: "Mai Tiezhu, who is sick?" ”
"Ah, king, this is Mai's boiled water."
"Cooked water?" Yuwen Wen was a little inexplicable, generally speaking, 'cooked water' refers to boiled water, but the jug carried by Mai Tie Rod must not be ordinary boiling water, otherwise what is the smell of herbs.
Seeing Yuwenwen's curiosity, Mai Tiezhu explained that he was a native of Lingbiao Shixing, and the area around Lingbiao was also the 'land of smoke miasma' mentioned in the Central Plains, which was hot and humid all year round, and many outsiders were easy to adapt to the water and soil when they came to Lingbiao.
The locals often find some herbs to boil water to drink, the main purpose is to dispel dampness and fire to relieve the heat, wheat iron rod was born in Si since childhood, of course, also accustomed to this eating habits, and the water boiled with herbs is called 'cooked water'.
Mai Tiezhu came to Xiyang to join the army, this habit will not be changed for a while and a half, looking for some herbs near Xiyang, and going to the market to find someone to buy some, and from time to time in the barracks to take these herbs to boil 'cooked water' to drink.
The Hulin military camp used a biogas stove, so he didn't mind that the soldiers would open a small stove from time to time within the allowable range, and the wheat iron rod would cook and drink by himself, but he didn't expect to save a few people's urgency.
Among the recruits who enlisted in the army at the same time, there were a few who were not very suitable for the climate of Xiyang, especially Hu Si Wanshan, who had good archery skills, because he was already a little unaccustomed to the soil and water, and the training intensity was high, and he was sick for a period of time, and the decoction was ineffective.
Seeing this, Mai Tiezhu pondered for a while, and felt that it was similar to the condition of outsiders who were not accustomed to the water and soil on the surface of the ridge, so he gave the 'cooked water' to Hu Si Wanshan to drink, and the doctor carefully treated him, and it didn't take long for Hu Si Wanshan to recover as before.
"So amazing?"
"Wang, after drinking the cooked water boiled by Brother Mai, I really gradually felt refreshed and no longer felt uncomfortable."
Hu Si Wanshan appeared to say the truth, but Yu Wenwen was a little unconvinced, and when he saw several soldiers taking bowls and receiving cooked water, he stepped forward and asked Mai Tie Staff to pour a bowl.
"King, this cooked water is very bitter."
Faced with Mai Tiecane's reminder, Yu Wenwen disagreed: "Bitter? How bitter? ”
Are you kidding! Back then, I could drink authentic Wanglaoji herbal tea without sugar!
Thinking of this, Yu Wenwen's heart lit up: Could it be that this ridge surface is the predecessor of Guangdong herbal tea in later generations? I'm getting hot all over my mouth right now, just in time to get rid of the fire!
Couldn't help but say, he drank half a bowl in one gulp, and then squirted: "It's so bitter!" Did you put Huang Lian or something? ”
Mai Tiezhu was a little embarrassed, he had already warned him in advance, but if this man didn't listen, what else could he say now?
"Mai Tiecane, can the cooked fruit you boil really dispel fire and dampness?"
"King, Mai doesn't dare to talk nonsense to deceive the king."
Yu Wenwen looked at the left cooked water (herbal tea) in the bowl, hesitated for a moment, and then drank it all.
What is this? McLaoji?
