This is a turbulent era, this is an era of famine, the people often go hungry, why not the soldiers? On weekdays, there are still two full meals to eat, but as soon as they go to the battlefield...... Without supplies, starvation is a common occurrence.

The old cow pulling the cart is still very fat and strong, because it only needs to eat grass, which is the relationship between the physique, just like Liao Heiniu, he and his brothers eat the same coarse grain, the same full and hungry, but he is taller and stronger than everyone else.

When the smell of beef stew spread in the courtyard, the rout soldiers who smelled the fragrance had already packed a large courtyard, wearing military uniforms of various colors and various accents, and staring at the three cauldrons while talking.

Li Siwei sniffed hard, showed a smile, and smiled at Ning Rou beside him: "Girl, fragrant, right?" ”

Ning Rou blushed and nodded, she hadn't smelled meat for a long time.

Li Siwei cleared his throat, stood on the steps and said loudly, "Brothers, be quiet first." ”

The crowd fell silent and looked at him.

Li Siwei is tall and thin, dressed in a shabby and dirty military uniform, although the epaulettes have fallen off, and the chest mark is also stained with blood, and it is not clear to see, but everyone thinks that he is a big official, because ordinary people do not have ox carts to sit on, and they dare not kill the cattle pulling the cart for everyone to eat.

Li Siwei's gaze swept over everyone, and he said slowly: "Brothers, the meat is almost ready, but ...... Everyone is a soldier, so you can't rush to eat like Hanako, right? So, we have to do one thing before we do that......" He paused, his eyes searching the crowd.

Everyone looked at him with some doubts, and someone couldn't help but ask, "Sir, which one are you looking for?" ”

Li Siwei smiled slightly, and stopped his gaze on Wei Yidao's body, "Wei Yidao, tell me first, how much meat can this cow have?" ”

Wei Yidao was not tall, and when he heard this, he squeezed out of the crowd, "Report to the chief, there are almost three hundred and fifty or sixty catties of meat after removing the bones and viscera, don't worry, I will pick it clean." ”

"Okay," Li Siwei nodded and raised his voice, "Wei Yidao was a butcher before he became a soldier, so I believe in his craftsmanship and eyesight, and now, we still need to count how many people there are, so that we can divide the meat and get a fair share." ”

"Yes, yes," everyone kept nodding, in fact, it didn't matter if they were fair or not, as long as they could finish this transition quickly, they would be able to eat meat.

"Brothers," Li Siwei smiled slightly, "You are from different units, and I can't count them one by one, so ...... Each team found a leader, figured out their numbers, and then came up and reported to me. ”

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this, and after a while, the five leaders went up the steps, Liao Heiniu and Sen Manzi were in the ranks, and the five of them walked quickly in front of Li Siwei.

"Eighty-eight divisions, thirteen people." Liao Heiniu said first.

Li Siwei smiled at him, "Black Bull, do you count yourself?" ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment and shook his head awkwardly.

Li Siwei smiled: "This is not good, you have counted yourself, but there will be no meat to eat." ”

"That's fourteen people," Liao Heiniu hurriedly changed his words, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many outsiders present, he really wanted to scold Li Siwei with a sentence of "Li Cannon of the turtle's son".

"Thirty-six divisions, ten...... Eight brothers......" said the forest man, adding again, "including me." ”

"Eighty-seven divisions, fifteen brothers." It was a young officer, and although his face was covered in blood, he was clearly a handsome young man.

Li Siwei nodded and asked, "Brother, what do you call it?" ”

The officer saluted, "Report to the commander, Wei Zheng, the second lieutenant platoon commander of the 87th Division." ”

"Okay," Li Siwei replied with a military salute, "Commander of the 26th Division, Li Siwei." ”

Another middle-aged man, not tall and wearing a soldier's uniform, he saluted Li Siwei, "Report to the chief, humble ...... I am a sergeant of the 21st Army, my name is Shi Meng, and we have thirty-five brothers. ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and looked him up and down, it was not easy for a sergeant to bring out so many brothers, and he could also become their leader.

The man was stared at a little inexplicably by him, and asked with a pair of big eyes, "Sir, is there any more questions?" ”

"Twenty-first Army?" Li Siwei was a little puzzled, the 36th, 87th, and 88th Divisions were all the elite of the national army, and Li Siwei had heard of it for a long time, but he really didn't know about the 21st Army.

"Yes, we are from the 21st Army," Shi Meng said loudly as he met Li Siwei's gaze.

"I know," Lu Sen said on the side, "Guangxi wolf soldiers, when you were in Shanghai, your troops fought the bravest......

Shi Meng's eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and said: "The artillery fire of the little devil is too powerful, our six divisions are all over in three days, and the corpses of our brothers are everywhere...... I will avenge them. ”

Another thin middle-aged man said to Li Siwei: "Report to the chief, we are from the 20th Army, and there are still 30 people left......

"Fellow," Li Siwei was stunned when he heard his accent, "What's your name?" ”

"My name is Liu Heishui, and I am the captain of the 134th Division," the man replied, "and we are willing to follow the commander, as long as the commander gives us a gun." ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Now...... I didn't shoot you either......"

"That's not possible," Liu Heishui shook his head, "Why did we lose so badly?" Just because we don't have aircraft cannons, we don't even have enough guns...... In the bloody battle along the way, some brothers are still fighting devils with big knives, how can they win the battle......"

Li Siwei stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "Fellow, you have to believe me, soon we will have a gun ......"

Liu Heishui didn't say anything more, and stood aside silently.

"Report sir, we are eleven brothers in the 74th Army," a stocky young man saluted Li Siwei, "but we can't stay, we must go to the big army ......"

"It's okay," Li Siwei smiled slightly, "Let's let the brothers eat first." ”

When he saw that several people had finished speaking, he looked at the people in the courtyard and asked, "Are there any brothers who have missed out?" ”

No one answered, they all looked at Li Siwei blankly, and the aroma of beef stew wafted in the air, making their gluttonous worms wriggle in their throats.

Li Siwei was also secretly swallowing his saliva, but pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, even me and Doctor Ning, there are now a total of one hundred and fourteen people......

"Slow ......" There was a shout at the gate of the courtyard, and a middle-aged man strode in, he was wearing a shabby Taoist robe, with a few long beards, and said with a smile: "Eating meat is considered a poor ......"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, laughed, and someone laughed and scolded: "You are a Taoist priest, can you eat meat?" ”

"Why can't you eat it?" The Taoist priest strode up to Li Siwei, stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Sir, I am a poor man, and I will fight devils with you after eating." ”

"Okay," Li Siwei smiled and nodded, "If you kill a devil, you will naturally eat meat...... Now it's one hundred and fourteen people, Wei Yidao, and began to divide the meat......"

For a while, the courtyard was boiling, and those who had received the meat hid aside to feast, and those who had not yet received the meat kept urging Wei Yidao......

Li Siwei and several leaders watched silently on the steps, and Shi Meng suddenly asked, "Sir, what are you going to do to fight devils?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and said slowly: "This devil must have an organizational discipline first...... To have a unified command, do you think I can be this commander? ”

"You ......" Shi Meng was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and slowly shook his head in the face of Li Siwei's gaze, "It stands to reason that the rank of the chief is higher than ours, and we should listen to you, but ...... Our Guijun are all hard-boned, and we have always only served those who have the ability......"

Before his words fell, Liao Heiniu stopped doing it, and his eyes widened, "The surname is Shi, don't think that only you Guijun are hard bones, and Lao Tzu is not a soft egg......"

Shi Meng was stunned, looked at Liao Heiniu, and frowned, "What do you want?" ”

Liao Heiniu's face sank, "Lao Tzu wants to see how hard you are?" ”

Li Siwei watched this scene silently without squeaking. He knows that these people are veterans of a hundred battles, they are all proud soldiers, and sooner or later there will be a collision, since this is the case, let the collision break out as soon as possible, only after the collision, this team can slowly coalesce.

Liu Heizi persuaded on the side, "Count the ball, count the ball, it's all the brothers of the national army......"

Liao Heiniu's eyes widened, "It's none of your business...... The surname is Shi, do you dare to compare with me? ”

Shi Meng smiled, "What's the comparison?" ”

Liao Heiniu glanced him up and down, "It's Lao Tzu bullying you than strength and fists, then it's ...... than marksmanship."

Shi Meng sneered, "No, Lao Tzu will compare strength with you......

Everyone was stunned, Liao Heiniu was as strong as a calf, and Shi Meng was only of medium stature, and he would definitely suffer more than strength and fists...... However, Shi Meng had already taken the lead and walked down the steps to the middle of the courtyard, and everyone consciously gave up a vacant lot.

Liao Heiniu hesitated for a moment and glanced at Li Siwei, Li Siwei nodded slightly, and Liao Heiniu strode over.

When everyone saw this scene, they were all interested, eating meat and watching people fight, how cool it was!

Ning Rou asked in a low voice, "Will something happen?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head lightly and said in a low voice: "It's all brutes, let them take a top to control their temper." ”

In the center of the field, Liao Heiniu and Shi Meng took small steps, staring at each other fiercely, opening their arms and eager to try......

Everyone ate with their mouths full of oil, and coaxed on the side: "Go on, hurry up......"

"Yes, yes, first a hungry tiger pounces on food, and then a black tiger pours out ...... heart"

"Fight well, eat meat ...... well"

"Ah......h

But when he saw Shi Meng snorting, he pulled his horse away, and his feet did not move as if they had roots.

"Huh?" Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment, roared "ah", took a step forward with his left foot, and leaned over with his right leg.

Shi Meng's arms were grabbed and couldn't retreat, he was hit by Liao Heiniu, his body staggered, Liao Heiniu shouted again, his right heel stepped forward, and his left leg hit it hard......

"Ah," Shi Meng shouted, did not retreat but advanced, and pounced on Liao Heiniu with his legs, his legs clamped Liao Heiniu's waist tightly, and he slammed his head into Liao Heiniu's head, Liao Heiniu was startled, and quickly let go of his arms, and put his hands against his head, where did he think that this guy would use such a desperate fighting style......

Shi Meng's head was blocked by Liao Heiniu, but his hands were free, and he clasped Liao Heiniu's two arms tightly, and his head pushed forward...... For a while, the two froze together, refusing to give in to each other, and they both blushed and turned red.

"Come on...... Come on......" The onlookers shouted.

Li Siwei shook his head with a wry smile, strode over, and smiled at the two: "Forget it, don't hurt anyone...... The little devil is still chasing after him. ”

Both of them were stunned, Liao Heiniu let go of his hand, Shi Meng also jumped off him, and the two still stared at each other with big eyes.

Liao Heiniu suddenly smiled, "The surname is Shi, you turtle is a hard bone." ”

Shi Meng also looked at Liao Heiniu and smiled: "Liao Heiniu, you are really a cow, a brute cow!" ”

At this time, Wei Yidao squeezed over with two bowls of meat with a smile, and smiled at the two: "Don't fight, if you don't eat it again, this beef will be stewed and chewy......"

"Yes, yes," Li Siwei laughed, "If you want to fight, you must first eat enough to have strength." ”

Soon, more than 400 catties of beef were artificially lit by the 100 No. 10 who had not been stained with oil meat for a long time, some people were burping their bellies with satisfaction, and some people were looking at a bunch of tripe and beef intestines with unfinished eyes......

Wei Yidao hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, "Go...... The chief said, if we eat meat, we have to let the people outside drink soup, right? These are their ......," he said, gesturing to a group of refugees outside the courtyard who did not dare to come in and were reluctant to leave.

The soldiers looked at the hungry refugees and turned away silently.

Li Siwei ate slowly, and suddenly he didn't have much appetite.

"Sir, you don't have an appetite," the Taoist priest came over with a smile, "If you don't have an appetite, the poor Dao will help you ......," he said, and he reached for the meat in Li Siwei's bowl.

Ning Rouqing coughed and smiled at the Taoist priest: "Dao Chief, haven't you eaten yet?" She stared at the Taoist priest quietly with a pair of clear and bright eyes.

"Hehe......" The Taoist priest was a little weak by her glare, withdrew his hand in a daze, and smiled at Li Siwei in a low voice: "Sir, what a means, killing a cow pulling a cart has attracted this group of veterans......"

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at him carefully, "What do you call Dao Chief?" ”

"Where is the Taoist chief," the Taoist priest shook his head, "After eating your meat, I will be your soldier, just call me Huanghua...... Are you wondering how to subdue that gang of bullish ruffians? ”

Li Siwei looked at him with a smile, but saw Huang Hua touch the long beard on his chin, "hehe" smiled, "Simple, as long as you can win a battle, won't they listen to you obediently?" ”

"Well," Li Siwei shook his head slightly, "I thought so too, but ......"

"Hehe," Huang Hua smiled mysteriously, "I'll have a chance to ...... soon," he said, his words stopped abruptly, and a pair of eyes looked at the meat in Li Siwei's bowl.

Li Siwei handed the bowl in front of him, "Eat, but after eating, shave your beard first......

He hated the way Huang touched his beard.

"If you want it, you want it......" Huang Hua ran aside with the bowl.

Ning Rouqiao's face was slightly red, and she gently handed her bowl to Li Siwei, "I...... Can't eat so much......"

Li Siwei was stunned, looked up at her bright eyes, and a warm current surged in his heart.
