In the early spring in the south of the Yangtze River, the willow trees spit out the green buds on a February day, gently swaying with the breeze from the south, a stream formed by a mountain spring is flowing happily, and the occasional birdsong makes the valley appear more secluded.

"Fluttering!"

Birds suddenly arose from the woods, the noisy neighing of horses could be heard in the distance, and a large army with no head or tail in sight waving red flags lined up along the mountain road.

Chu Jun!

The mountain road was narrow and rugged, and the soldiers of the Chu army had no time to enjoy the beautiful scenery around them, and supported each other to climb over the top of the mountain, they had already walked in the Mufu Mountain for three days, and they had not yet entered the boundary of Huguang.

This mountain road has been eroded by wind and rain for many years, and the edges have become soft and wet, becoming a hidden killer. The mountain road was crowded with people and horses, and a mule carrying grain kept leaning outward, but the dirt road under the hooves suddenly collapsed, and it fell down the hillside in a flash, rolled several times in a row, and only stopped after falling more than ten meters, and then remained motionless, and it seemed to have fallen to death.

Mules are naturally mute and never bark, but the movement of this fall is so great that it still attracts all the officers and soldiers to stop and watch. The auxiliary soldier who was in charge of the mule hurriedly rushed down the hillside, and his officer followed closely behind with more than a dozen men, and cursed loudly, and the auxiliary came to the mule, leaned down to inspect it, and then stood up in disgrace, and reported that the mule had been martyred.

"What bad luck!" The big bull muttered softly, very sympathetic to the auxiliary.

Livestock are much more valuable than people, and if the unlucky guy doesn't take good care of the animals, he will definitely be beaten up in a stinky beating, and he may even be killed.

"Bad luck what? This mule belongs to our firearms battalion, and we have broth to drink tonight! A veteran next to him was very excited, and he was a little suspicious of schadenfreude.

"Won't that brother eat a military stick?" The big bull asked worriedly.

"He deserves to eat military sticks, who told him not to take good care of the livestock!" The veteran said, "But this kind of thing usually doesn't eat a military stick." Even if the military law team wants to punish, they must punish his team officer first, the mountain road is so difficult to walk, the official is not arranged, how can the soldier be blamed for falling to death? ”

Da Guniu was stunned.

In the past, when I encountered something similar in the Green Battalion, I would definitely take the worthless auxiliaries to blame, although the team officer was not a big official, but he was also in charge of dozens of people, which was much more useful than an auxiliary, and the Shangguan would not punish them lightly.

He's still in a daze. The team began to move forward again, and the big bull kept looking down the hillside while keeping up with him, but he saw the dozen or so auxiliaries and the team officers working together, carrying the food on their backs. He climbed the hill with the mule and cleaned it up under the command of a military judge. Then follow the group and continue to move forward.

"Hey, hey. The military team is fair, the brothers don't have a word, these guys have to kill the mule, they have to work hard to be a mule, and if they can't keep it, they have to be locked up for a few days! ”

The veteran was a lewd man, and he was happy to see others unlucky. Said happily: "Damn, you should be cruel to these guys, Lao Tzu pinned his head to the waistband of his trousers, and only took one or two halves of silver every month." But these auxiliaries only pay their strength and don't fight, so they take a salary of one or two silver, and the heart of the military is really good......"

Da Gu Niu asked, "Brother Wu, what is confinement?" Don't you need a flail? ”

The corners of the veteran's mouth twitched suddenly, the smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he whispered: "It's different from the flail, confinement doesn't hurt people, but it's more ruthless than hurting people, and I can't forget that taste once I taste it...... Anyway, people will break military discipline sooner or later, and you will know if you go back and try. ”

"That's amazing!" Da Guniu's face turned a little pale, frowned and thought for a long time, and then said: "Brother Wu, those military regulations are so long, I can't remember them clearly, you can help me get them right." ”

"Hey, you're a bright-eyed and sensible kid, that's good! I think I suffered a lot at the beginning, and after desperately memorizing the military rules, I didn't suffer again. The veteran surnamed Wu said: "Look at your doll is good, I will tell you the bottom, as long as you follow Wang Junmen as a soldier to eat food, the most important thing is to remember the military regulations, as long as everything is done according to the military regulations, you can be at least a long man for a few years, and you can have two and a half of silver a month!" ”

He stretched out two fingers and compared them back and forth, staring at the big bull, eager to see the other party's excited and shocked expression. This remark is not so much envy as showing off, like a grassroots employee working in a high-paying company, telling a new college student about the company's treatment.

However, the big bull was not as calm as it appeared.

"It's not a lot of monthly salary. Shangguan buckled a few points, and he didn't even get a tael in his hand, and he dragged it on for a few months, and he didn't know if he had a life to take it......"

"You know the! Our Chu army will never withhold the money from our brothers! "Veteran Wu was very dissatisfied, if he wasn't on the march, he would have scolded him.

"Well, isn't that a salary?" The big bull is a little confused.

"This, I owe it once, but don't be complacent, I owed two months' salary in Jiangxi back then, and I made up for it as soon as I arrived in Guangdong, and I also paid an extra cent of interest, saying that it was the compensation given by the military gate to the brothers." Wu Lao Bing said with a smile: "Lao Tzu took three cents of silver interest, and Xiu Mu went to Guangzhou City to open a foreign meat ...... that day, hey, why are you talking to a little kid." ”

This is the Wu veteran's radical method, saying that a young man with strong blood does not understand women's things, it will definitely attract fierce rebuttals, and the conversation box will naturally open, Wu veteran has been ruthless these days, and he wants to talk about women.

To his surprise, Da Gu Niu didn't pick up this stubble, Wu Lao turned his head to look, Da Gu Niu's eyes were straight and he didn't know what he was thinking, and there was a trace of sparkling saliva at the corner of his mouth.

"You're too, aren't you?" Old soldier Wu is very dissatisfied, this fat brother is good for everything else, and when he says that a woman has no soul, it is a bit excessive.

"No, I'm thinking about how much good food I can buy for a silver tael or two. Brother Wu, you don't know, I like to eat, I can't eat enough, no matter how I eat, I especially like to eat meat......"

"I know!" Old soldier Wu glanced at him: "Eating every day is the same as the reincarnation of a starving ghost, who doesn't know?" Team Wang can say, you kid can't eat so much, otherwise the more you eat, the fatter you get, and the fat target is too big! ”

Although Old Soldier Wu's ridicule was a little mean, Da Gu Niu only smiled, and didn't care at all, he was wondering when the one or two halves of the silver would be delivered, how to spend it after it was issued, what delicious ...... should be bought, and how could he take care of other things.
