Section 26 Normalcy in Boy Camp
There are now 128 children in the boy boy camp today, and at the beginning Lao Luo had only 30 orphans in the Sylvan Tang camp, and when he arrived on the outskirts of Mashhad, there were more than 80 orphans, and then there were also many street children who gathered along the way, but only about 50 people were arranged into the boy boy camp .
It is really that the population around the Tianshan Mountains is too small, and there are not many children or teenagers who can meet and gather on the long road, and the total number is only two or three hundred, but many children have their own opportunities, and those who are over sixteen years old are assigned to various military camps, and some of them are adopted by the people in the team, and there are not many left here when they arrive at the boy boy camp.
It is said that the age limit is sixteen, but in fact, the oldest child in the camp is less than thirteen years old, and the youngest is a young girl who has just celebrated her fifth birthday.
The name of the sexagenary branch has been used up, so the eight children in the back began to choose the maternal surname Bao as the surname to rearrange, and the last child named by Lao Luo was called Bao Jiawei, the first serial number twenty-eight in the boy camp was a boy with curly hair and brown eyes, only nine years old, but had been living alone near Huozhou for nearly three years.
Bao Jiawei was picked up by Lao Luo by a river, and he still clearly remembered what this child with stubborn eyes looked like at that time, his withered and thin body was only wrapped in a robe sewn from a piece of linen on a torn tent! The hands, feet and face are cracked and densely packed, and the appearance is many times more miserable than the children in the later movie "Orphans of the Fog".
When Luo Kaixian picked him up by the river, he was like an abandoned little animal, fainting on the bank of the river because of hunger, if it weren't for Luo Kaixian's spiritual guidance, there would definitely be no way to find this child who was stealing bird eggs on the bank of the river for food, in that case, the fate that awaited the child could only be to die silently somewhere.
Not only this Bao Jiawei, but all the children who were accepted into the boy boy camp on the road lived harder than the children of the Tang camp in the past, competing with wild dogs for food, insects and rats for resting places, and also being smart and vigilant to avoid people with ulterior motives, there are not many others in the grasslands and deserts, greedy human traffickers and extremely vicious robbers, the former will squeeze every cent of value out of you, and the latter will not hesitate to kill and eat people when they are hungry, and the target may even be their companions - this is not an exaggeration.
Without the constraints of law and universal morality, the bottom line of human behavior is really immeasurable.
Luo Kaixian is not a good person, but he is also not a bad person.
Before arriving at Syrvan, he was very indifferent to everything around him, and it was only after he arrived at Sylvan that his heart softened.
That's why the move of adopting a street child is not simply kindness, Luo just feels that his energy alone is limited, and one day he will grow old and die, or he will ...... Leaving the plane uncontrollably, these raised children would be the inheritors of his will, if he didn't have children at that time.
Of course, this thing looks simple, but it is not so easy.
The children who entered the boy camp on the way were also slightly different from the children in the Tang camp in the past, and their vigilance was even more serious, not only guarding Li Ji and others who took care of them, but also guarding their peers.
Originally, the mentality of those children was also very complicated, not everyone liked new friends, and emotions such as worry and rejection were never lacking.
How difficult will it be to manage more than a hundred children in total? Especially for children who have gone through ups and downs like this?
It has been almost two months since I came from Huozhou to Lingzhou, and the new children have only become more harmonious with the original children, and there are only two people who play a key role, one Li Ji and one Rui Niangzi.
Ms. Analia is the head of the boy boy camp, and although she can ask about some things, after all, this lady has experienced ups and downs in the first half of her life, and her health is not very good, and she does not have so much energy to take care of dozens of injured "little beasts".
In addition, there are more than a dozen widowed women who are responsible for pulping, laundry, and cleaning up the sundries to take care of the children, but they do not have the patience and courage of Li Ji and Rui Niangzi.
As everyone knows, Li Ji has a nickname of a fire lady, but she has a surprising patience for children, although there will be occasional small punishments, such as picking ears, twisting people and other punishments, but it is by no means malicious and has no bottom line, on the contrary, every child who is punished by her will become obedient and dare not commit it again, even the most naughty and repulsive children.
The reason is very simple, in the hearts of these children, no matter what kind of mentality they have, they can still distinguish between right and wrong, and Li Ji is a fair and strict big sister, and she will be punished and corrected if she makes mistakes.
Rui Niangzi, who is the opposite of Li Ji, is a gentle mother who is soft and gentle at all times, and she is the mother image in the dreams of all children.
Such two people can be said to be one and the same, and with the group competition practice arrangement formulated by Luo someone at the earliest, the backward children will forget the mentality of rejection and self-abandonment, and then there will be continuous learning and games, so that it is possible for these children to accept their new destiny.
When Luo Kai first came to the boy camp from his military tent, it happened to be the time when the children were preparing dinner together - he didn't want to treat these children as the kind of family treasures in the future, these children even had to learn to collect firewood and light a bonfire, and as for basic survival skills such as barbecue and porridge and soup, it was a task that the group had to complete every day.
Just like at this moment, more than a dozen bonfires were lit in the open space in the children's camp, and they were surrounded by a similar number of figures, large and small, who were busy shouting and shouting, although they were not very skilled, but they were all very focused.
Of course, there are exceptions.
"The third uncle is here!" The little girl with a few black and gray stains on her face rushed towards Lao Luo.
"Nannan, you come back for me, it's your turn to watch the fire today, and if you are lazy and run away, you will be hungry!" The crisp shout followed closely behind Xiao Budian, but it was Luo Jiachen, who was like a little adult.
From Lao Luo's point of view, the bouncing little girl immediately stopped, muttered "Third Uncle...... with a flat mouth, and then stopped running to his side, but turned around and turned around slowly.
Of course, all these things can't be hidden from Lao Luo, he just curled the corners of his mouth, but walked to the north of this small camp without saying a word.
Except for Xiao Nannan, most of the rest of the children just raised their heads, and then got busy with themselves, not that they didn't like Luo Someone, the third uncle, but they had to finish what they were doing, especially when they were preparing food for themselves, once they were scorched or there were other omissions, they all needed to bear it themselves.
Lao Luo will not interfere with this kind of thing, taking in and taking care of children is one thing, how to cultivate them is another, he will not be confused in this regard.
The naughty little girl also knew Lao Luo's attitude, so she didn't dare to be coquettish at all.
There was also a bonfire on the north side of the small camp, and there were a few figures busy around the bonfire, which were the four gladiator women who had been sent to follow Li Jiao a long time ago, and Li Jiao and Rui Niangzi were constantly patrolling everywhere, and the various groups of children were shouting and chattering and laughing—although the food needed to be made by their own little hands, it was much better than being hungry.
"Analia, I see that you look good, and your body is fine?" Lao Luo greeted the person who was sitting not far from the fire and watching him.
"Bartol, I'm much better!" Analia was still used to calling Luo Kaixian's Mengwen name, and asked with a smile, "Why, aren't you busy today?" It's rare to see you coming here at night! ”
"It happens to be fine, come and have a look." Seeing that Li Ji was still busy, Lao Luo didn't bother them, found a place to sit down by the bonfire, and said casually.
Analia glanced at Luo Kaixian, who was sitting leisurely, smiled slightly, but did not speak, and guided a few female men to bake food by herself.
Everyone was busy preparing to eat, and they didn't need someone Luo to mix it up, but he couldn't be idle, and Hua Biao's agile figure entangled him for the first time.
This strain should be the little guy of the serval, and now it looks like a little leopard, the black and yellow fur looks very shiny and shiny in the firelight, and a pair of vigorous muscles, if it weren't for the pair of exaggerated big ears, and extraordinarily slender limbs, it really looks like a miniature leopard.
Hua Biao was followed by four huge guys - Caucasian dogs brought from Sylvan all the way, just over a year, these small hairballs have become at least seventy or eighty centimeters tall at the shoulders, their brown or black fur is fluffy and dense, follow Hua Biao to Lao Luo, like four small lions.
It's a bit strange for a cat to be the boss of a dog, isn't it?
Luo didn't care at all, Hua Biao was not one of his kindred who was timid and afraid to catch insects and rats on the savannah, when he first followed him on the grassland, he had eaten lion meat, hyena coyote meat, and rhinoceros meat, and on a ship in the Mediterranean, he even scratched the face of a missionary, and it was really not unusual to tame a few dogs that grew up in the grassland.
What's more, these Caucasian dogs are not yet fully adults.
Caucasian dogs are very intelligent species, they are very large and muscular they are good companion dogs, Lao Luo bought dozens of others when passing through the city of Rai, in addition to arranging the necessary military dogs after breeding, but also allocated to the boy camp more than a dozen, the purpose is of course for training.
Coupled with the exchange of people on the way, there are not only these Caucasian dogs in the boy boy camp, but also seven or eight long-faced and long-haired hounds, which are very similar to the Afghan hounds of later generations, and are now scattered in the boy camp camp.
Because they were cultivated from an early age, these dogs cooperate with the children very tacitly, so although the children's camp looks weak, it is not as offensive as ordinary people see.
Precocious children with large dogs are really not good at judging their ability to protect themselves.
Lao Luo sat reclining on the soft fur, scratching Hua Biao's jaw in his hands, squinting his eyes and looking at everything around him comfortably. Looking at the busy children chattering, as well as the figure of the woman he loves, his heart is at ease.
There are not many opportunities to relax and be comfortable like this, and he cherishes it every time.
