Chapter 202: Night (continued)
Late at night, Zheng Wu was awakened by urine, got up in a daze and was about to go out, but just two steps later, he stepped on the air, and his whole body fell down, and he had to grab the railings on both sides with both hands, so he didn't fall to his death.
Looking at the empty feet, looking at the stairs on the side, and looking around, Zheng Wu found that he was on the arrow tower, and he was so frightened that he had no intention of urinating, and his back was cold.
Tonight was his night, but because he was too sleepy, he fell asleep on the arrow tower, and after falling asleep, he was woken up by urine distention, and thought he was in the tent on the ground, so he subconsciously wanted to go out and pee.
As a result, he almost fell to his death, Zheng Wu sat paralyzed in the arrow tower only to feel that his legs were weak, his heart was beating violently, and he didn't know how long it took to recover, and gradually the urge to urinate rose again, so he stood up cautiously.
The cat leaned on his waist and probed his brain to look out, making sure that there was no one checking the post below, and looked outside the camp, but found no movement, so he untied his belt and took out the root of his life and came out of the railing.
The sound of dripping water sounded, Zheng Wu breathed a long sigh of relief, he just wore this uniform, if he was wet, he didn't have to change it, and the smell of urine at that time should not make people laugh.
It's a little awkward to pee on the railing, but in order to save his life, it's pitch black outside the barracks, who knows if there are any enemy soldiers lurking outside, if he stands up straight and is shot in the face by a dark arrow, then he will die too unjustly.
Zheng Wu drank too much water before the night, so he held a big bubble of urine, and stood on the arrow tower at this time to pee outside, which was called a comfort, but he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
The night breeze blew, Zheng Wu shook his body, packed his belt and sat down, the long night was long, I don't know how long it had been at this time, but as long as the person on duty had not come, he had to guard here.
Looking at the gong placed aside, he subconsciously moved to the side, if there is an enemy situation, he will ring the gong to warn, but if he accidentally makes a movement when dozing off, everyone will have a false alarm, and he will eat the whip afterwards.
However, looking around all night and not sleeping, Zheng Wu was so sleepy that he couldn't stand it, he was a soldier just to eat, it was very dangerous to be on duty at night, even if he died, what if he had a pension, he was single, who would he give the pension to after he died?
Therefore, once the battle is still important, it is important to save your life, and if you win the battle, you will follow the light, if the situation is not good, you should run, you should kneel and beg for mercy, you should kneel quickly, it is better to die than to live.
There is more than one arrow tower, and he is not the only one on duty at night, so many people are staring at the outside of the camp, it shouldn't matter if he is lazy.
Zheng Wu felt that he had to open a meat and then die, in his life, he had never tasted a woman, so wasn't he walking in the world in vain?
Thinking about it, tiredness swelled up, Zheng Wu began to nap again, it was easy to come back to his senses, rubbing his eyes and looking outside, he didn't know what time it was, he just felt that he had been on the arrow tower for a long time.
Why hasn't Liu Lao Er on duty come yet? This plague sufferer, isn't he oversleeping!
。。。。。。
A burst of coldness made Liu Lao Er turn over comfortably, he was dreaming, dreaming that he jumped into the river to swim in the dog days, and the cold river water took away the heat on his body, so comfortable that he really wanted to soak in the water all the time.
The march is camped, a few people are crammed into a tent, if it is winter, it is just that, now the weather is hot, it is already stuffy, and at night it is so hot that it is difficult to sleep, and there are many mosquitoes, which is a torment for everyone.
He vaguely remembered that he was going to replace Zheng Wu in the second half of the night, but then he felt as if he had misremembered, so he slept first.
The heat when he fell asleep had been dispelled away by the cold at this time, and it was rare for the weather to get colder, Liu Lao Er just wanted to sleep a little longer, even if he really missed the shift and was beaten by Zheng Wu, he felt that it was worth it.
It's not easy to be a soldier these days, you have to be a coolie when you are marching, you have to do chores when you camp, you have to play with your life when you fight, there is not much benefit if you do it well, and if you don't do it well, it's a whip, and it's hard to sleep comfortably, like sleeping a little longer.
It was getting colder and colder, and he turned over again, and felt that something was wrong in a daze, as if the straw mat was stained with water, and then a spirit woke up.
He felt that he was urinating in his sleep, and when he touched his body, it was really wet, and he screamed bitterly in his heart, there were more than thirty people, and they would actually pee on the mat, where did he have the face to see people after this matter was spread.
looked left and right and found that everyone was still snoring, Liu Lao Er thought about going outside the tent to wash off the smell of urine, but when he held the ground with his hands, he found that there was water on the ground, and he was instantly confused: Can I pee so much?
got up to go outside, and found that his feet seemed to be stepping on the water, Liu Lao Er felt that something was wrong, bent down and groped on the ground, and found that the ground was full of water.
"Alas, the movement is quieter, and everyone finally falls asleep..."
In the corner of the tent, Shi Chang was woken up and said in a daze, and scolded in a low voice when he said the back: "Hey! Who knocked over the jug! How do people sleep! ”
At night, there was a ban in the barracks, and no loud noises were allowed, and Shi Chang's voice had been lowered as much as possible, but it woke up the others, and everyone was vaguely touching around, only to realize that the cold under him was not a dream, but because the ground was full of water.
"Did it rain heavily and soak the camp?" Liu Lao Er muttered to himself, cautiously walked out of the tent, and found that the ground was muddy and full of water, and the nearby camp tent was also noisy, as if many people were whispering and scolding who had knocked over the water tank.
He looked up at the sky and found that the east was faintly white, so he turned back to the tent and said hello to the chief, and then walked to the arrow tower where he was supposed to be on duty at night, and by the way to see what was going on.
Many soldiers ran out of the surrounding camp tents, all of them were probing their brains to see what was going on, the camp was very large, Liu Lao Er walked and found that the situation was wrong, because there was more and more water on the ground, and he had touched his ankles.
The camp was noisy, many soldiers were moving things in a panic, many people were wet, as if they had just woken up from their sleep, Liu Lao Er knew that something was wrong, and he ran to the arrow tower, he struggled to squeeze through the chaotic crowd, came to the edge of the camp, and saw an incredible scene:
In the sound of gurgling water, the camp fence composed of wooden stakes, at this time, there is water leaking in the gaps, it seems that the outside of the camp is full of water, and they are like sitting in a wooden basin floating in the river, leaking everywhere, and then the water level in the basin is gradually leveling with the outside.
"Stunned, move things quickly!"
The shouts in the camp came one after another, the horn sounded, and the gong sounded on the arrow tower, Liu Lao Er came to an arrow tower, climbed up the ladder, and stopped after climbing halfway, looking at the scene outside the camp fence dumbfounded:
Under the still dark night, the earth was white, and the first day of the first year looked like it was snow after snow, but when I looked closely, it turned out that there was water everywhere.
The sentries on the arrow tower struck the gong desperately and shouted loudly: "There is a big flood!" It's a big flood! ”
