Chapter 5: Life and Death (Part II)

When I panted from the ground and slowly stood up, I found that I was stopped again.

"Okay, you can still run like this ...... bones"

The other party gestured with a long knife

"It's going to be a good soldier, maybe you can still be a firehead......

Looking at the blade in his hand and the quiver on his saddle, the twitch in his empty stomach made me hesitate, but I still gave up the intention of resisting or fleeing immediately.

By the time I was able to pause again to catch my breath and soothe the burning of my chest, I was already in the roadside wilderness, in a small camp, the branches of the severed trees were tied in rows and stuck in the ground, and they were thickly enclosed in an irregular shape.

Although the construction is very sloppy, rough looking, there are only a thousand people, the weapon system is disorganized, most people do not have armor, just one or two more sets, it looks more bloated, with the addition of people who followed, suddenly there is a lot more, and it becomes even more chaotic.

The method of selection and screening is very simple, that is, dig a soil ditch, you can jump over, or you can pick up a round stone with both hands, even if you pass the level, in the process,

There were also those who were obviously unqualified in age and stature, or who fished in troubled waters, were cleared out, and no matter how much they pleaded or cried, they could not be exchanged for the slightest mercy, and after being punched and kicked, they were pushed to the side of the road like corpses.

The rest of the people were stuffed with a wooden stick of uneven length and sharpened diagonally, and preached a bunch of empty words of "seeking fame and wealth are promising", and they became members of this "righteous army".

That's right, it is the rebel army, which is inferior to the ordinary official army and the local Tutuan soldiers, the so-called "rebel army" between the anti-thieves, the rogue and the Wubao army.

I don't know why, but the same thought came to my head. As the best of them all, um, or leader, I was given the right to assist in the distribution of food, and several baskets of cold things were carried before me and distributed according to the head.

This time, the thing sent out was not a black pimple with a suspicious shape, but a gray cake in the shape of a bit of food, well, it was finally a decent thing, and there was a spoonful of soup paste made of dregs and wild vegetables, there was no container, only with hands, tiles, mouths, and everything you could find a qiē to undertake, and then from time to time someone was scalded and screamed, but they were reluctant to spit it out or let go.

More than 100 heads were divided, and I was hungry for a long time, and my stomach could run a train, and I also grabbed a piece of cake in a decent shape, and bit it hard in my mouth, but I couldn't help but snort heavily, which was mixed with too much bran and other impurities, and there was a rustle of friction between my teeth and tongue, as if I was chewing into a pile of sandpaper, which made people lose their appetite.

It seems that the sound is too loud by accident, and it immediately attracts attention.

"Dog offal ......"

A cloth bag leader who was supervised at the scene strode over and waved his scabbard viciously,

"Dare to be ......"

Suddenly, he was stopped by another powerful arm, but it was another man with a beard like a weed, who looked quite prestigious, and the fierce cloth head hurriedly retreated to the side without even arguing.

"Your teeth are fine."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at me carefully before he suddenly spoke.

Only then did I notice that although they all looked like they were gray on the outside, when the others opened their mouths to eat, they basically showed black and yellow teeth with strict enamel wear, which obviously looked a little out of place with my teeth that were well maintained by good living habits.

"Do you want to eat better......

“。”

"Come with me......"

At first glance, I felt that this was a veteran who described the vicissitudes of life, he was wearing an old chain vest that was quite rare for the identity of the leader, many of the armor rings had collapsed, and his body was wrapped in large rags like sacks, only the boots were still decent, but the suspicious blood stains on them made people a little frightened.

The half-new stripping scabbard and the bow wrapped in strips of cloth, and the folds on his face showed that he was no longer young, and in short, he was an old fellow who smelled of danger.

This chaotic and crowded camp was actually not large, and it could be seen from the outside at a glance, bypassing a few broken sheds, and dispersing a bunch of soldiers blocking the road, and it didn't go far to hear it.

"The righteous army run by the miscellaneous family is not the ...... of Kaiyizhuang"

"Where do they like to go......"

"There is no food left...... I have the ability to go to those Wu forts by myself."

A UFO almost scratched the tip of my nose and tumbled into the dust, and then I saw a figure pounce on me like a hound, followed by a shouting and scolding.

", pick it up for me, I finally got the meat,"

Under a straw hut enclosed with a cloth curtain, I met this unknown armed so-called leader:

A middle-aged man sitting cross-legged on a white bed, with long hair scattered and a cloth wrapped around his forehead, opened his sweaty mind and concentrated on dealing with the legs of half an unknown animal, the smell of barbecue and oil, made my saliva and stomach tremble, even if there were still dust and sand particles sticking to it.

Even a few people next to me who didn't look like good people were temporarily ignored by me reflexively. I've been hungry for more than 24 hours.

It's not like other novel travelers, in the mountains and forests, like in your own vegetable garden, you can hunt pheasants and rabbits casually, or you can fool other animals to die in the stomach with a mouth cannon, and then get a super pet with loyalty MAX.

The veteran walked up and whispered a few words, and then they exchanged views.

"This guy is much whiter than those who fall sideways, and there is not even a calloon on his hands, feet, shoulders and backs......"

The sound of muttering came directly to my ears, making me, who was trying to swallow my saliva, shudder, and my appetite was completely gone, and I couldn't help but think of some of the legendary heroes similar to Shuibo Liangshan and some of the professional hobbies of Bei Ye.

"Wu Na man, the seat is the general of the shore, and he must be well recalled......"

Finally, a voice called to me, but it was the boy who had just picked up something like a hound. He stood beside the leader named Shogishi and pretended to be fierce.

It's just that the childish voice change somewhat undermines the ferocity and solemnity created by this effort

"What is your last name and where are you from......?"

The leader will be ashore, wipe the oil stains on his chin with the placket of his shirt, and cross his legs to his chest and say in a deep voice

"What can you do......

"That...... General, under the name Char, well, the word is virtuous......"

At this moment, I couldn't help but think of a cold masked man who was burdened with a sea of blood or something, but there were constantly girls who took the initiative to post upside down, and people were envious and jealous.

"Youde, it's really a good name......"

It seems that the general's flattery has made him a little useful, and his tone is not so rigid and stern.

"This accent ......"

However, one of the people next to me suddenly frowned, which made my heart lift suddenly

"I've heard ...... on the islands in the southeast sea and land."

"That's a son of the sea, and it has nothing to do with those northern dogs or western captives......

Another voice answered

"It turned out to be a sea man......"

I felt as if the other person's eyes flickered, and his tone became eager.

"I don't know if you are the Xinghua Party or the Restoration Party......"

"Zun Sect or Imperial Sect?"

"How many roads ...... the East China Sea or the South China Sea"

"The Yishu Domain is still the Fuso Domain......"

“.”

I was silent and dumbfounded, but I was horrified in my heart, what is this and what, how can even the Restoration come out.

"General Hui."

In the end, I only touched the lump on my head that still had blood and stammered and pretended to be stupid

"I was robbed and chased for my life before, I hit my head off the cliff, my head hurt badly, and I forgot a lot of things......"

"What's the use of that......

My reaction made Shogishi's face suddenly fall, and he waved his hand in disappointment, driving me away like a fly, and then was persuaded by the veteran to mumble a few times before turning his head.

"Then do you know how to read, read, write, count, and keep accounts......

I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when I heard this, and glanced at the sword on their waists, and this level has finally passed.

Looking at me as if to please me, with charcoal strips on the table, a few large characters and symbols, the leader of the shore muttered a little hesitantly

"Shorthand and hard pen writing...... Kind of useful......"

Well, I was a little surprised, but I sighed again, is there any such thing that is still popular in this world? ,Okay, I'm not so surprised.,I later learned that in this world,One is more ancient (traditional?) strokes?] ), which belongs to the high-end and atmospheric choice of official writing and scholars, and the so-called shorthand style invented by Liang Gong (simplified?) It is for the military generals who are familiar with literature and ink and the common people to learn and use it conveniently, and it has been passed down to the world.

"From now on, you can try to be a bookkeeper......

With a few scribbles, the same thing as an account book was thrown into my arms. So I had my first place to stay, a shed in the camp that leaked on three sides, although it looked equally precarious, it was also very unreliable.

Although I didn't study accounting at the beginning, but I took the most expensive law subject in order to be able to take the bar exam, but I can still understand the entry and exit accounts at the level of a small grocery store owner.

Identify and recopy the crumpled pieces of paper with thin carbon strips, torn out of nowhere, and then bind them into a book with a hole and thick twine.

thereupon

For dinner, there is a bowl of mixed vegetable soup with no meaty taste, and you can soak two more pieces of cake than others, but it is still stiff, and after it is softened, you can eat it with your hands on the soup, and there is a separate straw mat under the shack, and you don't have to squeeze together with those former homeless people, sitting on the ground in the open air, and stinking together.

But for a moment away from the windswept rain, the ill-intentioned crowds and threatening scavengers, lying on the grass that served as fodder for the animals, I lost sleep completely, not only because of the pungent smell of livestock, nor because of the rodents that were busy everywhere, nor because of the creaking hay.

While thinking, groggy and barely closed his eyes, ending my first day in the barracks
