Chapter 7 I will join the Tooth Army in this life
When Tong'an was a child, he often heard his father talk about how beautiful the Daibei grassland was, and at that time, he asked his father: "Dad, the grassland is so beautiful, why did you come here?" ”
Tong An remembered that his father smiled bitterly first, and then muttered: "In order to get ahead, get ahead." ”
As soon as Daddy finished speaking, Tong An found that Daddy's eyes were full of tears.
"Dad, are you homesick?" Tong An blinked, in the past, when his father went far away, he was alone at home, and he would shed tears when he missed his father.
"It's a little." After Daddy finished speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.
"Dad, I'm homesick, let's go to the grassland hometown together, I haven't seen what the grassland looks like." Once Tong'an's curiosity is aroused, he will never forget it if he is not satisfied.
"Alas, after being away from home for more than 20 years, not only did he achieve nothing, but he also became a waste, so he still has the face to go back." Daddy's voice changed, and he turned his head away to prevent Tong An from seeing it.
"Dad, when I become a tooth army, I will take you to the grassland, so that you are not afraid of losing face."
"Okay." Daddy touched his head, looking relieved.
Tong An somehow remembered this incident, he was young and ignorant at the time, and he left it behind after speaking. Now think about what Dad said, that kind of desolate helplessness, his nose is a little sour. Daddy is so strict with himself, just to make himself productive and not repeat the mistakes of the past. Tong An didn't have such an obsession with the tooth army before, as long as he was a soldier, it didn't matter if the tooth army, state soldiers, and town soldiers. But at this moment, he decided that he must enter the Tooth Army in this life, and then take his father back to the grassland.
"Anzi, why are you stunned, don't you have any feelings, right? If you have anything, just say it, don't go around like my brother, it makes my head hurt a little now. Cui Yiwen stabbed Tong'an, who was in a trance.
"I decided that I must enter the Tooth Army in this life!" Tong An said it categorically, which startled everyone.
"Anzi, what are you stimulating? Could it be that he is also like Gao Cheng, who is in a hurry to marry his daughter-in-law? Ye Lin smiled evilly and teased Tong An.
"I'm serious, I must join the tooth army, and I can't live this life in vain!" Tong An said it righteously, it seems that it is not a temporary uprising, he is also going to drill this single-plank bridge.
"I'm going too!" Cui Yiwen has always been unwilling to be the queen, not to mention eating with martial arts, his martial arts are the best in this group.
"Then I'm going too!"
"I'll go too!"
The pride of this group of people was ignited like this, but I don't know how long it can last, and whether it can last until the day when it enters the tooth army.
"Oh. There's something I have to talk about for you, listen to it, don't call me Anzi from today onwards, do you hear? "Tong'an is still serious.
"You can pull it down, Anzi, who has been called for more than ten years, just because you want to join the tooth army, we are not allowed to call it?" The thin monkey looked disdainful.
"It's not because of this."
"What's the reason for that? You haven't joined the Tooth Army yet, and you have started to have sex with your brothers, if you really join the Tooth Army in the future, will you still pretend not to know us? Cui Yiwen's temper is just a little bit.
"Because of what, mosquitoes, have you forgotten? You kicked me over that night in Xishan, and shouted Anzi. Tong An looked at Yiwen with a smile.
"I'm so kind to save you, it's good for you to still hold a grudge." Yiwen's anger increased.
"I didn't mean that, I have to thank you for that kick. At that time, you shouted this, but the people on the pavilion could hear it clearly, they are now looking for someone named Anzi, you don't want Anzi Chang Zi to shout shortly, let the family catch it, and then I will not be able to die. Tong An said easily, but the people around him were scared into a cold sweat, they never realized this problem. It's a little scary to think about it, in case you accidentally shout Anzi and expose Anzi, although Anzi won't betray them, but his conscience is difficult to settle in this life.
"What are you shouting about?" The straw bale scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"This is easy to do, just call me big brother." Tong An looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Think beautifully, my eldest brother is still here!" Yiwen's face was full of ridicule, and he didn't give Tong'an face at all.
"Talking about playing, you can call it whatever you want, but you are not allowed to have the word An." Tong An was not angry at all.
After returning home, I told my father about the New Festival to make the Long March athletes, and my father was noncommittal. Tong An then said that he wanted to join the tooth army, and his father hummed a word "um".
From this day on, Tong'an can always wake up on time at five watches, no need to report the rooster, no need to kick the father, and the biological clock is formed all of a sudden.
Dad saw all this, and quietly pulled ten altars of divine wine out of the house.
In the evening, the old man took the head of something that looked like a horse, not a horse, a donkey, not a donkey, with long ears and narrow hooves, and a short mane.
"Dad, what do you buy a mule for? We don't need this stuff to sell some medicinal wine. Tong An asked his father while looking at the mule he had never seen before.
"I bought it for you." Daddy's face was expressionless, but he never joked, and this should have been bought for himself.
"Buy me this, what's it for? I don't want to do business, I'm going to join the Tooth Army in the future. Tong An felt that he was underestimated by his father.
"This is for you." Daddy was still expressionless.
"What does my entry into the Tooth Army have to do with this mule?" Tong An didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Daddy's gourd.
"The marksmanship I taught you is for cavalry, not on foot." Daddy understated.
"What?! This is the marksmanship used by cavalry?! Tong An opened his mouth in surprise.
"You've almost learned the basics of kung fu, and if you want to go up further, you have to practice right away."
"Dad, you're not a horse, are you?" Tong An couldn't laugh or cry a little.
"This mule has the agility of a horse, and can carry heavy loads, although it is not as fast as a horse, but it is enough to practice marksmanship. I still eat less, and my strength is still greater than that of a horse, so let's make do with it. Then he threw him the reins and went into the house. Tong An looked at the mule carefully, it looked a little ugly, but it was not smaller than a horse. Reaching out and patting the mule's spine at will, the mule was as if frightened, jumping on all fours, and almost being kicked. It took a lot of effort for Tong'an to calm it down, tied it to the paulownia tree in the courtyard, and then laughed, the temperament is so fierce, I like it!
This mule is born to a male donkey and a mare, although there are also male and female, and basically cannot be fertile. Farmers raise this large livestock, but they can count on adding a foal and more income in addition to farm work, so this mule is rarely raised, and donkeys are usually raised. Horses are military supplies in the three towns of Hesu, and private breeding is prohibited. There are three types of horses: horses used for war, field horses used for hunting, and horses that cannot run fast. Even this useless horse is hard to find, and there is no market for it.
So it must have taken a lot of trouble for Daddy to get a mule back.
