If it had been two days ago, Hu Xuan would have been very excited when he heard these reprimands, but through the experience of less than a day after "joining the army", he felt very awkward in his heart, and faintly felt that his previous thoughts seemed to be too naïve. The words of this "director" seemed to be more ironic than inspiring.

The "director" continued: "Yesterday, your left wing regiment was defeated in a battle with the Northern Army, why? They have poor discipline and poor combat effectiveness, and more importantly, they do not have the will to move forward, and when they fight against the enemy, they will become a mess and run in a mess. Commander Yang was very angry, and those who escaped from the battle must be severely punished, and the deserters will be shot. ”

Then he nagged for a while about the army regulations such as "Ten Prohibitions" and "Ten Killing Orders", and Hu Xuan didn't bother to remember those things, but felt infinitely tired in his heart. The thin officer finished speaking, and led the group of officers out of the empty field with a high spirit.

After listening to the lecture, Hu Xuan was not only not "inspired", but felt very heavy, as if he had been on a big deal, and as if he had planted the land for a year, but in the autumn he did not get a little harvest, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

After the disbandment, he and everyone returned to the camping place, the bald head looked at Hu Bolt and Shi Suo with a gloomy face, Hu Shuo closed his eyes and thought about his thoughts, Shi Suo was not afraid of the bald head, turned his face and ignored him, after lunch, the other soldiers lay down to rest, and the bald head ordered Hu Bolt and Shi Suo to stand guard.

The sentry is located in front of a hut, and the task is to watch the "prisoners" inside and not escape. Hu Xuan was not disgusted by coming out to stand guard, and he couldn't ask for it to come out alone with Shi Suo. Shi Suo said to Hu Xuan: "I think, I can't stay here, I looked for the Southern Army for a long time, but I found it, I didn't expect it to be like this." ”

Hu Xuan said: "I want to go to find senior officers, such as the director who came here today, if I have the opportunity to say a few words to them and explain our situation, maybe we can change the current situation." After saying that, he couldn't help but shake his head, and he knew in his heart that his words were not reliable.

In the hut behind him, there seemed to be a voice, it was a woman crying, Hu Bolt and Shi Suo didn't know who was locked inside, they heard a woman crying inside, and felt a little strange, but the soldier shouldn't ask can't ask, the director also said it just now. Although curious, Hu Shuo still suppressed the idea of seeing what was going on.

After a while, the woman's cry came out again, and Shi Suo looked around at no one and whispered, "Or, let's see what's going on inside." ”

"No," Hu Xuan said, "now we are soldiers, and we can't look around without orders." ”

"It's a shame for such a soldier." Shi Suo said.

Suddenly, several officers walked over, the first of whom was in a straight uniform, who seemed to be one of the officers in the group of officers during the morning lecture, followed by the guards, the platoon leader, and the bald squad leader. The group went straight to the hut.

The platoon commander followed the officer with a smile on his face, walked to the front of the hut, and ordered the door to be opened, and the officer entered the house, and then Hu Bolt and Shi Suo saw that there was a young girl with braided hair sitting in the room, with a slender figure, and turned her head to the wall, and could not see her face.

The platoon commander said with a smile: "The face mold is really good, I searched for a long time to find such one." ”

"Hmm." The officer nodded and said to the woman, "Turn around." ”

The girl just didn't move, the bald squad leader walked over and viciously pulled the girl's head with his hand, the girl cried and struggled, and the platoon commander scolded the bald head: "Light, don't get hurt." ”

The officer said: "Okay, you kid is very discerning, so, I will invite the director to dinner in the evening, and when we are done, you will send her to the director's room, I have already agreed with the director, and the director is very happy." This kid is as thin as a monkey, but he has this hobby, hehe. ”

"Yes, yes." The platoon commander nodded repeatedly.

Hu Xuan felt a buzz in his head, and then the officer laughed a few obscene jokes with the platoon commander, but he didn't hear anything, and after the officers left, he mechanically locked the door, as if his soul had been taken away.

"What should I do?" Stone Lock asked him softly.

Hu Xuan looked around and said with some pain: "Let's find a way to escape." ”

Shi Suo said, "Then it's early, I think it's tonight." ”

At this moment, the girl's cry was heard again in the house. Hu Xuan said to Shi Suo: "You look at it, I'll go in and have a look, and if possible, save this girl." ”

"Okay."

Hu Xuan quietly opened the lock and entered the house, the girl saw the person who came in, looked at him in horror, Hu Xuan said nervously: "Don't be afraid, we were only arrested today to be soldiers, and we are trying to escape, are you a local?" ”

The girl didn't squeak and looked at him suspiciously. Hu Xuan continued: "We want to rescue you, if you are familiar with the roads here, can you show us a way, let's escape together." ”

The girl's eyes lit up and she said, "I am from this village, and I am familiar with the road." ”

"Okay, stay in the morning, let's run as soon as it gets dark. You prepare. After Hu Shuan finished speaking, he withdrew. Discuss with Stone Lock how to escape.

The more I look forward to the dark, the slower I feel that the sun will pass, as if the sun is stationary, and I will not go west. Hu Xuan pretended to be relieved, reconnoitred the environment inside and out, and felt that the security here was not strict, so he was sure to run out.

Looking forward to it until it got dark, Hu Xuan quietly opened the door lock, took the girl out, and walked out of the compound with Shi Suo, and just outside, a sentry came over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Hu Xuan was startled, he didn't know that there were sentries here, but his mind turned and he replied, "Send someone to the director." He gestured to the girl behind him.

"Hey, hey." The sentry smiled and walked away.

The three of them quickened their pace, walked quickly to the outside of the village, and were about to walk to the edge of the village. ”

Hu Xuan hurriedly stopped, borrowed a stack of wood to hide his figure, looked forward, and saw a sentry walking around in the darkness, still holding a spear. He asked the woman gently, "Where else can I get out of the village?" ”

The girl whispered, "Follow me." ”

Hu Bolt and Shi Suo followed behind the girl, jumped from a low wall into a small courtyard, and then climbed to the roof, all three of them hunched over, using the miscellaneous firewood on the roof as a cover, gently strung through several houses, and then went down to the courtyard, pulling each other over the wall and jumping outside, Shi Suo looked around, and then under the guidance of the girl, followed a ditch, quickly ran to the field outside the village.

After running for a while, all three of them were out of breath, and when they saw that they were far away from the village, and sat down on a high hill to rest, the girl said, "Thank you." Thankfully, I met two of you good people and let me escape. ”

"We need to get to a safe place while it's dark." Hu Xuan gasped and said, "Little ...... Little sister, where are you going? We'll send you over. ”

"Call me Aning," said the girl, "and my parents and I broke up with a group of cavalry when we ran out of the village, and I don't know where they went. I don't know where to go now. Well, if not, I'll go to my aunt's house, which is in the neighboring village. ”

"Okay," said Hu Xuan, "let's go after a while, and maybe they will chase us out if they find out that we have run away." ”

"Don't be afraid to chase it out," Shi Suo said: "Where is this black light blind chasing us, there is only one road leading to this village, let's not take that road stupidly, it's fine." ”

The three of them were discussing in a whisper, when suddenly Shi Suo saw something shaking in the distance, hurriedly made a gesture, stopped talking, and looked carefully, from the main road leading to the village, a car came in the distance. It may be that there is a bell hanging around the horse's neck, and as the car goes, the horse's bell is leisurely and tinkling.

There is a car on the road at night, naturally it is not unusual, but the car is getting closer and closer, the three people are startled, the driver sitting on the wheel is white all over his body, as if he is wearing filial piety clothes, and then closer, it is even more terrifying, not only wearing a white robe, the head is also white, I can't see the hair and facial features, the whole body is white, and it looks very strange at night.

A-Ning trembled with fright and whispered, "Ghost ......"

"Don't be afraid," although Hu Xuan's heart was also pounding, he tried to whisper in a calm voice, "Where are the ghosts?" Someone must be playing tricks. ”

I was staring at this "ghost car", and suddenly heard a drum noise in the direction of the village behind me, and some people were shouting, and it seemed that many people were rushing out of the village. Shi Suo said: "Did you find that we ran away and chased us out?" ”

"Well, it's possible." Hu Xuan looked at the surrounding terrain, there were crops everywhere, but there were not many tall crops, fortunately, the night was very dark, and it was not easy to be found when hidden, so he whispered: "Let's all bow down, walk with crops, and go to A-Ning's aunt's house, be careful not to let the pursuers find out." ”

"Hahaha."

Suddenly, a strange laughter that was both gloomy and poignant came clearly, A-Ning was so frightened that he fell to the ground with a "bang", almost fainted, Hu Xuan and Shi Suo were also startled, and they immediately heard it, this strange sound was the sound heard that night when he was caught by the Northern Army for the first time.

"The sound came from that carriage." Stone Lock whispered.

The group of soldiers who came out of the village apparently heard this sound as well, and shouted in a chaotic manner, "Ping Pong," and fired two shots, and after the gunshots, they vaguely saw that the carriage was still moving forward unhurriedly.

"Hahaha."

The voice sounded again, but this time not in the carriage, but in the crop field, not far from where the three men had hidden.
