Chapter 4: Heroes or Sinners?
There were few people in the room, and when Hu Ye came to the room, he only saw a white-bearded old man cutting vegetables there. Presumably, those who could run around followed Zhang Fu with kitchen knives to cut people.
The old man was probably over seventy years old, and he seemed to have a hearing impairment, because he didn't notice Hu Ye when he entered the room, so he just buried his head in chopping vegetables. Maybe he didn't even know that Zhang Fu was leading people to fight.
Hu Ye didn't plan to disturb the old man, so he just tiptoed around looking for food in the room.
Hu Ye was very unlucky, he searched all over the room and didn't find anything delicious, except for two buns, there were two bones that didn't have any minced meat at all.
Hu Ye took the buns and bones out of the room, came to a big stone in the barracks, put down his backpack, and poured out, only to see a snow-white ball rolling out.
"Xiaoqiang, come, gnaw bones." After pouring out the thing, Hu Ye took the bone and put it to its mouth.
When the thing came out, it rolled on the ground and then yawned twice, like a puppy that had just woken up. With snow-white short hair and teary eyes, except for Hu Ye, anyone who sees it will think it is a dog.
The animal called Xiaoqiang by Hu Ye stretched out his head and sniffed the bones in Hu Ye's hand, looking very disgusted. But I felt very hungry, so I took it anyway, lay on the ground, and crunched and gnawed.
Hu Ye saw that Xiaoqiang was gnawing bones, so he put the backpack on the stone, sat on the backpack and ate the buns.
"Xiaoqiang, you said that we arrived here, is it a blessing or a curse?" Hu Ye gnawed off half of the bun in one bite and said inarticulately.
Xiao Qiang ignored Hu Ye's chirping, it just concentrated on gnawing on the bones, although there was no meat on it, it still gnawed happily.
The original Xiaoqiang is a wolf, a big white wolf, and a big white wolf from the same shijie as Hu Ye.
A few days ago, after Hu Ye was told by his girlfriend to break up, he embarked on a trip that he said would leave, and he wanted to use travel to wash away his sadness.
But not far from Beijing, Hu Ye encountered an adult version of Xiaoqiang, a Siberian wolf with a height of one meter. Hu Ye knew that he was not Xiaoqiang's opponent, so when he was chased to a cliff, he jumped without hesitation. The chances are slim, but it's better than dying.
At that time, Xiaoqiang did not stop his feet, and jumped off the cliff with Hu Ye. When Hu Ye woke up, he found that Xiaoqiang, who was only the size of a puppy, was lying beside him. Hu Ye knew that he and Xiaoqiang might have encountered the legendary space wormhole, causing them to both return to their childhood.
Hu Ye was very afraid of being lonely, so he took Xiaoqiang with him. Naturally, he became Xiaoqiang's eldest brother, and this name was also the name he gave to the white wolf. He thinks that the catastrophe will not die, and only the name Xiaoqiang is worthy of the white wolf.
So after a few days of struggling to survive, they met Gao Ren and Ergou, so they took Hu Ye and Xiaoqiang back to Zhang Fu's military camp.
"Hey, what am I telling you all this for? You don't understand what I'm saying. Looking at Xiao Qiang, who was blind to himself, Hu Ye smiled helplessly.
recalled the difficult survival experience in the past few days, and Hu Ye felt that he had grown up. If he can return to the future, Hu Ye will definitely find a job in a down-to-earth manner. Good haode and girlfriend together, good haode filial piety to parents. I will definitely not take a trip without informing them, and I will travel to the Ming Dynasty.
But I can't go back, it's the Ming Dynasty now, maybe history can do it again, but I can't do it again. Hu Ye looked at Xiaoqiang very sadly, and only this animal who came from the same shijie as himself could understand his sadness now.
Time passed quickly, and Hu Ye felt that he hadn't been sad enough, and the sky had already begun to darken. Before he knew it, Hu Ye had been sitting on the stone for three hours, and Xiao Qiang had already fallen asleep in his arms.
It is very common for the sun and moon to appear in the sky at the same time, but it is rare for many stars to appear at the same time. Hu Ye remembers that he had never seen such a sky in Beijing. So Hu Ye just watched the sun and moon move slowly in the sky, enjoying the rare tranquility.
However, the sound of horses' hooves in the distance shattered Hu Ye's tranquility.
Hu Ye stood up suddenly, put Xiaoqiang in his backpack and carried it on his back, and came to the door of the barracks. He guessed that it was Zhang Fu who finished the battle, and it was this battle that made Zhang Fu famous.
Zhang Fu has made military achievements and has been promoted to the knighthood, Hu Ye thinks that the benefits must be indispensable to him, so he should go to greet him.
However, the closer the sound of the horse's hooves, the more bright red Hu Ye's eyes became, because among the people he saw coming back, only more than twenty were on horseback. There were also nearly a hundred people lying on horseback, and many of them were missing arms and legs, which is the taboo of dead bodies.
"Haha, Hu Ye, good boy, you have made a great contribution this time, and you are the hero of my Ming Dynasty!" Zhang Fu dismounted, came to Hu Ye's side, patted Hu Ye on the shoulder and said.
Zhang Fu really came back, and the future British Duke really did not die in this battle, but there was just a two-centimeter-long scar on his face. But the hundred lives did not return, only their cold corpses.
Hu Ye slapped Zhang Fu's blood-filled hands, looked at the "long" flag without a "bow", Hu Ye sat down, and Nan Nan said, "I originally wanted to give you a great creation, but I didn't expect to bury the lives of a hundred soldiers, am I doing something wrong, am I a sinner?" ”
Hu Ye's ass was sitting on the yellow sand all over the ground, and now that the sun was setting, the geothermal heat was also beginning to rise. So the yellow sand is warm and dry, but Hu Ye doesn't feel warm at all, some are just the cold in his heart.
Hu Ye couldn't help but re-examine his motives, wasn't it because of his own selfish interests that he let these hundred soldiers die? If he didn't want to hug Zhang Fu's thigh, then this hundred soldiers would not lose their lives, and Daming would have a hundred widows. Aren't you a sinner?
"What are you talking about, how can there be a war that does not die? Sacrifice for the country, horse leather shroud, this is the glory of soldiers, don't believe you ask the more than 100 soldiers who survived, which one is afraid of death. Being thrown away by Hu Ye, Zhang Fu was not angry. Looking at Hu Ye, who was sitting on the ground very sluggish, Zhang Fu enlightened.
"People are born and raised by their parents, who is not raised in front of their babies. But when you enter the army, you must have the consciousness of sacrificing your life for the country, not to mention these soldiers, as long as the country needs it, I Zhang Fu can also come forward. Even if I was asked to fight the Northern Yuan army alone, I, Zhang Fu, would not say a word. ”
He knew that Hu Ye, who was young, couldn't experience the glory of a soldier, and he couldn't stand the cruelty of war. What he didn't expect was that Hu Ye in the 21st century lived in an era of peace, where had he seen so many dead people. It takes half a year for an old man to die of illness, let alone because he has died so many people.
"Them." Zhang Fu turned around and pointed to the soldiers who were lying on horseback, their bodies were already stiff, and said in a high-pitched voice, "They are martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country, and their children and grandchildren will be proud of their deeds." Their children and grandchildren will remember that they once followed me Zhang Fu and used a hundred warriors to block tens of thousands of strong enemies in the Northern Yuan. Daming will not forget them, and will give their families the most haode care. If anyone dares to bully their families, I, Zhang Fu, will be the first to refuse. ”
After Zhang Fu finished speaking, the general soldiers who were still excited just now left tears one after another. These are not tears of sadness, they have seen the death of their companions many times. They shed tears of meeting the Lord, and with such an adult, there will be no worries. You only need to go into battle to kill the enemy to earn war merits, and earn a knighthood to benefit future generations.
"Long live Daming!"
"Long live Daming!"
……
I don't know who shouted this, and everyone shouted for a while.
Hu Ye still sat there dumbfounded, he knew that speech was a necessary skill for a coach, and Zhang Fu did a good job.
Hu Ye does not despise Zhang Fu, but Hu Ye's heart has never crossed that hurdle, he has never been a person of this era, and he is still unpredictable in Mingren's mind.
Only Xiao Qiang, who is also from the 21st century, stretched out his head and lay on Hu Ye's shoulder. From time to time, he licked Hu Ye's earlobe with his tongue, and he could see that the eldest brother was in a bad mood, and tried to comfort him.
Hu Ye reached out and touched Xiao Qiang's head, and couldn't help but sigh, only Xiao Qiang understood him at this time.
After a commotion, Zhang Fu ordered the dead soldiers to be buried. It was buried on the hillside at the back of the camp, and the west side was gentle, making it suitable for burial. But it's not facing the Ming Dynasty.
So the living buried the dead in the east, although it was very steep, but facing the Ming Dynasty, it was a zuihou thing that the living did for the dead.
After Xiaoqiang's comfort, Hu Ye has now thought a lot. History is history, and it is there, not sad or joyful.
The people of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were cruising in the fishing sea, and if Hu Ye did not tell their whereabouts, Zhang Ye and Li Ye would also find out their whereabouts.
Anyway, history is like this, the Northern Yuan people in the fishing sea will be wiped out after all, and he just pushed the wheel of history a little.
But these people always died because of themselves, and Hu Ye still came to the tomb group. Every time he passed by a mound of earth, Hu Ye would grab a handful of yellow sand and sprinkle it on it, and then say sorry. This is a little compensation for their actions, and I just wish them well on the other side.
After worshipping more than 100 graves, it was already willow tops on the moon, although there were no willow trees, but Hu Ye still imagined that the tombs were surrounded by willow trees, sheltering this group of soldiers who died in battle.
Patting the yellow sand on his hands, Hu Ye bowed deeply towards the group of graves.
Xiao Qiang is no longer squatting in his backpack, he thinks that the space there is too small, and follows Hu Ye step by step. Looking at Hu Ye's strange behavior, it didn't understand what it meant. But it knows that the eldest brother is in a bad mood now, so he must not be provoked.
When he returned to the barracks, Ergou happened to be standing at the gate of the camp, and he saw Hu Ye coming back from a distance, he didn't understand how Hu Ye, a little kid, could be so sentimental and live like a girl.
"Boy, you're finally back, the big guys are waiting for you to come back and eat. Lord Baihu said, if you don't come back, we are not allowed to move chopsticks. Ergou stepped forward and patted Hu Ye on the shoulder and said.
Hu Ye is in a very bad mood, why does everyone pat himself on the shoulder? So he took away the palm of the second dog very rudely, and without saying a word, went straight to the tent.
"This man is really strange, could it be that I provoked him somewhere?" Ergou was very puzzled, why was he so angry at night when he was still a very docile little kid in the morning. But the credit for himself and his eldest brother was still because of this little child, and Ergou didn't take this matter to heart, and followed Hu Ye into the barracks.
Hu Ye didn't go to the celebration banquet in the evening, he couldn't still have a carnival when so many people died.
Listening to the sound of the men carnivaling outside the tent, Hu Ye couldn't help but sigh, "I really don't belong to the Ming Dynasty." ”
