Lao Luo naturally didn't know about Cheng Shouru's change in mood, at least not now, because as soon as he returned to the camp, he was surrounded by noisy children.
"Third uncle, are we going to the beach today?" Naturally, the little girl who likes to talk the most and is not afraid of life is the most, this little thing is usually very naughty, but the big mistakes do not make small mistakes, so that people can't find her sore feet, of course, even if they find it, no one can bear to reprimand her.
"Yes, it's to the beach, but do you know how to swim?" Lao Luo hugged this little girl, surrounded by small dots about one meter high, and the older children were a little farther away, and he didn't even have a place to walk.
"No, third uncle, you teach me." This little guy is honest, and the biggest advantage is that he is the sweetest, and has an affinity that other children don't have. This kind of personality makes her a link between Lao Luo and the orphans in disguise.
Including the three pigs who hugged Lao Luo's thighs, although they usually like to quarrel with her the most, but this group of children is the most grouped when they encounter things, they all say that the children of the poor are in charge early, and what Lao Luo sees is that these children who have experienced hardships know how to distinguish priorities and trade-offs, which is so commendable, so he also pities these little guys more.
"Okay, okay, let's get ready, go get your own water bladder, the leader of each group should take care of their members, and bring a small pot, and we will grill fish and picnic on the beach in the afternoon." Lao Luo put down the sticky little girl and gave an order directly.
Soon the group of imps ran back to tidy up their things with a shout, and Li Ji followed behind him with a smile. This trip was the last relaxation before the eastward journey, and it was also part of the reward for the 300 leaders of the recruit training and their families. As for guarding the camp, it was presided over by Sidd Knord, a rigid Norman who had become somewhat unapproachable since he was appointed by Lao Luo as a military judge, and was now a feared fellow in the camp.
In fact, the camp was not far from the sea, only an hour away on horseback or camel, and there were recruits and gladiators who had been ordered to learn the defense of the camp, and with the increasingly complex defenses around it, there was no need to worry about the safety of the camp even during the day.
"Siniang, are those cow and sheep skins you told you yesterday ready?" Lao Luo refers to those skins that are intended to be used for pontoon bridges, as mentioned above, and will not be repeated here.
It's just that Li Ji didn't know the conversation between Lao Luo and Al Heisien, and she usually accompanied the child more often and never went to the craftsman's workshop, "I brought it, but what does the third brother want that thing for, is it to use cow and sheep skin for water?" ”
Shui Liang refers to swimsuits, but the swimsuits of this period are made of fish skin or seal skin, of course Lao Luo understands this, he said with some amusement: "There is also Siniang you don't know?" I have never heard of cow and sheepskin skins for water, those skins are temporarily borrowed, and they need to be inflated and blown up for children to learn to swim. ”
"Huh?" Li Ji grew her mouth in surprise, and her cherry red lips looked quite seductive in Lao Luo's eyes.
"Don't be surprised," Lao Luo found the leather bag stacked by Li Ji in the corner of the tent, and when he touched it with his hand, he found that the thing was very well handled, the surface was very soft, and there was no smell of beef and mutton rotten. It seems that the craftsmanship of the cosherman chosen by Al is really good, "Come, Siniang, take these out, one for each child, the eldest child with cowhide, and the little one with sheepskin." ”
In this era, there is no way to make things like swimming ring air mattresses, so inflatable skins are a protective weapon for children on the water. Thinking that every playful child is swimming around in the water with a cow and sheepskin air bag, Lao Luo also feels that this idea of his own is a great idea.
Under the management of militarization, the personnel were quickly assembled, those who could ride horses were on horseback, and the families and children who could not ride horses sat in a kind of carriage, which was a derivative of the partial carriage, two large and two small four wheels, equipped with brakes, the same cast iron rim, the twenty centimeter-wide rim was inlaid with cork for shock absorption, and the bottom of the carriage also had a leaf spring shock absorption, although it could not be more comfortable than the rubber tires of later generations, but compared with the so-called high car with those iron sheets wrapped and riveted fixed with wooden wheels, It's already a great thing in this day and age.
The families of the recruits sat comfortably in the carriages, and there was really little entertainment in this era, especially for civilians, and it was like a dream to be able to play with their families at the turn of spring and summer.
All the children have a total of nearly 70 people, and they are divided into seven groups, and the children in each group are laughing and trying to blow up the air bags in their hands while laughing in the car, which is a real braggart.
Lao Luo rode on the back of the black cloud, listening to the purring of the carriage, the sound of the horse's hooves on the ground, and the laughter of the people before and after, and he couldn't help but feel a little drunk. The mountains along the way are full of flowers, the snow melt water trickles down from the high mountains in the distance, and occasionally there is an inexplicable eagle crying loudly, and you will see the figure of a hare running in the grass in the distance on the side of the road.
The Magyar Sea is the name of the Turkic language family, which will also be translated as the Khazar Sea, and later in Chinese it is simply called the Caspian Sea, and in the north, in the later Kazakh, Russian and English, it is called the Kaspi Sea, which is the Latin name for the people of the eastern Caucasus. The Sylvan Plain, where Lao Luo is located, was the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan in later generations, and in this era, the title of Azerbaijani did not appear, and the Sylvan royal family of this era was a Persian tribe deeply influenced by Turkic culture, so the Turkic language family of this water area was used here.
The suffix of the Magyar Sea is called the sea, but it is not actually a sea, but an inland saltwater lake, because it is not connected to the Black Sea by an external waterway, and there is no tidal phenomenon, but it has the characteristics of water ripples that all lakes have.
The Volga, Ulla, Terek, Kula, and Arras rivers all flow into this water, but the water level of the Magyar Sea never rises or falls, and it is conceivable that there must be underground waterways connecting to the Black Sea at the bottom of the Magyar Sea, but no one can confirm it.
Lao Luo led the group to this seashore (lakeside), an estuary of meltwater from high mountains, and the small plain formed a wide sandy area instead of a craggy reef. The water surface is crystal clear, and you can see swimming fish jumping on the sea surface from a distance, and you can see aquatic creatures such as crab shells at the water's edge.
Suddenly seeing the open water, everyone's mood was even better, especially the recruits who had been tired of training for many days, pulling their family members to let go of their loud screams, and the children were even more excited, holding the skin bag in their arms and about to drill into the water.
Fortunately, the recruits also have a basic organizational structure, and the children are also grouped, so the whole order will not be chaotic.
The most important safety is no problem, Lao Luo is too lazy to worry, the recruits naturally have Olki and Nuralman to manage, the children are naturally led by the big children, and there are nannies and a few teachers next to them.
As a leader, having fun with his subordinates is naturally suitable for winning people's hearts, but it will also suppress his subordinates' interest in playing, so Lao Luo only brought his group of cronies to set up a shaded shed to chat.
"Master, the training is tight, the craftsmen are also busy, and the Turks are making trouble, come out to play at this time, do you ......" Gonzhas is still that straight temper, and he almost said that Lao Luo's plaything is demoralized.
"Relax, Gonzas, since you're out for fun, relax." Lao Luo looked at Gonzas, and then looked left and right, and the expressions of Snow, Ark, and Naga on the side were a little unnatural (Siddec Nord stayed in the camp, and Olki and Mnaki were managing the recruits), and Lady Annalia, the teacher of Al Hesian and Li Ji, looked at the soldiers in front of him with a smile.
"Host, relax? Ever since we guys became fighters, we have been fighting and playing in addition to drinking? That's what women are supposed to do. Gonzas's voice was a little sullen.
Lao Luo was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood, dare to love these guys have been fighting for too long since they became gladiators, and they are not suitable for idle life, this is not possible, even if it is a spring, it will always be in a tense state, "Well, let's do it, let the guys get together, assign a task, everyone will combine into two groups at will, choose any tools, go to the shallow sea competition to catch fish, and the losing group will sing a song to the winning group." ”
"Huh?" Several guys were stunned, they knew that the guys Lao Luo said mainly meant the former gladiators, but the job of catching fish was troublesome, you must know that the gladiators came from a complicated background, not everyone knew how to play tricks in the water, in fact, some guys from Bulgaria and Thrace couldn't even swim.
"What are you stunned about, Stan is from the north and will definitely catch fish, Alc should have lived by the sea, you can pick and choose the others, anyway, I don't stipulate how much you catch, it's over before lunch, as long as there is one more fish than the other party, it will be considered a win!" Lao Luo had to explain it casually, he wouldn't play anyway, so he just made the next task to play at will, and treated the task as a joke. Later generations of special forces did the same, and their power was relaxed.
Seeing that Lao Luo had made up his mind, Gonzas, a landlubber, had no choice but to agree, and went to call people with a few other guys. This competition has a lot of randomness, because Lao Luo only stipulates the time, but does not limit the way of fishing, it depends on the ideas and creativity of these guys, water ducks and landlubbers together, anyway, they don't care about the catch, and they can play at will, and they will be lively.
"Bartol, where did you get so many ideas? Look at these guys, haha......" Al Hesyn smiled all over his face, and let a group of strong men who only know how to cut people with knives go fishing, and also compete in singing? Have fun watching.
"Al, why did I forget about you, why don't you take Nuralman with you, anyway, you don't need to draw or do research or anything at this time." Lao Luo didn't have a good heart, anyway, the purpose of this is to play and relax, the more people participate, the better, not to mention your status as a university scholar, let me go to the sea to fish, "Nuralman, take your uncle to go, he is not a great sage at this time, what identity does he care about when he comes out to play." ”
Nuralman's execution of Lao Luo's orders was first-class, so the expression of Al Hesyan, who was about to see the joke, immediately turned into crying and laughing.
Soon the beach became more lively, although not all the gladiators came, but there were also forty or fifty numbers, noisily divided into two teams, landlubbers and water ducks mixed, some shouted for the spear to pierce the fish, some shouted for the rope to weave the net, and some even suggested lining up to catch the fish...... Anyway, it was a mess, and Elhesyn, who had always been neatly dressed, rolled up her sleeves, put away her placket, and came up with an idea.
Lao Luo couldn't participate, because whichever side he went to meant that it was unfair, so he swept the surroundings with his mental power, this sea area is really good, because there is no pollution, it is much better than the later generations, and there are really a lot of fish in the sea, although these former gladiators are used to cutting people with knives, but they also have good spears and spears, and they don't have to worry about no catch, just wait to see the fun.
Under the awning, Ms. Analia, who was originally sitting quietly, was also in a good mood, "Bartol, why did you come up with such a messy idea and didn't participate in it?" ”
"Madam, you have wronged me," Lao Luo certainly did not say anything about his bad taste, "You see, these guys are always thinking about cutting people, and when they see that everyone looks like an enemy, if they are allowed to marry wives and have children in the future, I am afraid that they will cut off their wives and children as enemies." ”
"It's not as exaggerated as you say, is it?" Analia looked incredulous, and the few maids around her also had mocking looks.
"That's right, I'm a warrior, of course I know better, I have more combat experience, my dreams are bloody, and I am awakened by nightmares at night, and it is easy to distinguish between friend and foe, so it is even more troublesome." Lao Luo also eliminated the banter expression on his face as he spoke, and became more serious, "Moreover, there is still a month to start walking eastward, and it will take at least three months along the way. Shouldn't they be told to relax, you say? ”
The crowd was silent.
