After the battle, everyone gathered together, and the graves of those who did not huddle were covered with grass.

The current Xianwu Empire is only in a corner, from Hunan and Hubei in the east, Jiechuan and Chongqing in the west, to Sanqin, down to some areas of Qianzhou, and the territory is only a quarter of the original.

The main battlefield is in the Hunan and Hubei regions, followed by the land of Sanqin. Sichuan, Chongqing and parts of Qianzhou are the rear of mankind. Hongshan City is located at the junction of Sichuan and Qinzhou.

There are 38 villages under the jurisdiction of Hongshan City, with a total urban and rural population of about 30,000. Hongshan Village is right next to Hongshan City, which is very convenient to get to the city.

Yang Dong didn't have any luggage alone, and the important things were placed in Wu Yue's small Sumeru space. Locked the door, gave the key to the neighbor Uncle Zhang, and finally came to Hongshan City after walking for half an hour.

Hongshan City is a small city, there are only two city gates in the east and west, Qingxi is outside the west city gate, Hongshan is outside the east city gate, and Yang Dong is the east gate.

Yang Dong was wearing the cleanest clothes he felt, but in fact, his whole body was covered with patches, and he had already washed white.

Before leaving, he specially asked Uncle Zhang to help cut a board inch with scissors, tied a holster around his waist, and Wu Yue inserted it in the holster.

Seeing the tall city gate, Yang Dong suddenly remembered when he rode on his father's neck when he was a child, and when his mother was happy together. But they were gone......

Wu Yue felt that Yang Dong was a little depressed, but Wu Yue also knew how to comfort him, so he could only let Yang Dong adjust himself.

Yang Dong touched the scene, but quickly restrained his emotions. For more than two years, Yang Dong has been a person, tired of hardship, and has a strong mind and maturity that his peers do not have. No matter what difficulties he faces, Yang Dong is confident to get through them.

After being checked by the guards at the city gate, Yang Dong walked into Hongshan City.

Unlike the solemn and deserted outside the city gates, there are many hawkers in the city, which is very lively.

"Sell clothes! The freshly braided linen is strong and wear-resistant, as long as one Peiyuan Dan. ”

"Qingling Flower, Qingling Flower, a bottle of Peiyuan Dan Twelve Beads."

"Come on, take a look. The newly baked wild boar meat buns are delicious and can also strengthen the body! ”

Yang Dong smelled the aroma of the meat buns and swallowed his saliva, thinking that there were still more than 300 Peiyuan Dan on his body, so he walked over and asked, "Boss, how much is a meat bun?" ”

The boss was very happy to see someone come to ask, although Yang Dong was covered with patches, it did not prevent him from greeting him warmly.

"There are three Peiyuan Dans, how many little brothers are coming?"

Every bun is the size of Yang Dong's palm, and Yang Dong is not hungry, but a little greedy. He put his hand in his trouser pocket and pretended to be, but in fact, he took out a Peiyuan Pill from the small Sumeru space and handed it to the boss and said, "Bring me three." ”

After the boss took Pei Yuandan and confirmed that it was true, he threw Pei Yuandan into a glass jar, pulled a piece of oil paper from the side, wrapped the three meat buns and handed them to Yang Dong.

"The bun is hot, little brother take it! Welcome to your next visit! ”

"Thank you!"

Yang Dong took the bun and thanked him. The freshly baked buns were still very hot, and Yang Dong had to guide back and forth with his left and right hands.

After walking for a while, the buns were not so hot, so Yang Dong took out a bun from the oiled paper bag and ate it.

"Whew!"

Yang Dong hadn't eaten such a delicious thing for a long time, and while exhaling the heat, he ate it in a big gulp, and swallowed a bun into his stomach in two or three clicks.

Just as he was about to eat the second one, Yang Dong saw a six or seven-year-old girl holding a four or five-year-old boy squatting in the corner and staring at the meat bun in his hand.

Yang Dong hesitated, walked over and put the remaining two buns in the little girl's arms.

The little girl said thank you and asked her brother to say thank you.

Yang Dong snorted, looked left and right, and quietly stuffed the little girl with ten Peiyuan pills.

"If you don't have anywhere to go, take your brother to Hongshan Village. Find Uncle Zhang and say that Xiao Dongzi asked you to go, hide Pei Yuan Dan well, and try not to let people know. After speaking, Yang Dong turned his head and left.

Yang Dong could see at a glance that the little girl had been hungry for several days, because her parents had just died a few days ago, and then they were kicked out by relatives.

When Yang Dong's parents died, an uncle wanted to snatch Yang Dong's Pei Yuan Dan. It was also the comrade-in-arms who told Yang Dong that there was another reason for the death of his parents and drove his uncle away to save Yang Dong's Pei Yuandan.

Seeing the little girls, Yang Dong was like seeing himself. Anyway, now that they are out, there is no one at home, so let them live in their own house. With Uncle Zhang taking care of them, they will not starve to death.

The little girl looked at Yang Dong's back, deeply remembered Yang Dong, and led her younger brother away.

Yang Dong had asked for directions before, so he quickly found the place where the Wasteland Reclamation Corps had reported to work.

Open the wilderness

"This is it." Yang Dong thought when he saw the door number.

The door was open, and Yang Dong walked in directly. The entrance is the front yard and the offices are all here. There is a passage in the middle of the house on the right, and you can see the people inside training with a uniform voice.

A female cadre came out of the first door on the left and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Yang Dong took out a letter of introduction and handed it to the female cadre and said, "This is my letter of introduction, I came to report on the Wasteland Reclamation Corps." ”

The female cadre was obviously a little stunned, and as far as she knew, there was indeed someone who was going to report today. And that person is already in the office of the deputy head of regiment......

The female cadre took a look at Yang Dong's letter of introduction, and it was true. However, there is only one vacant slot left in the corps establishment. The female cadres didn't dare to care too much, but they still dutifully brought Yang Dong to the door of the office of the deputy head of the regiment in charge of this matter.

The female cadre knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

The female cadre asked Yang Dong to wait, opened the door and handed the letter of introduction to the deputy head of the regiment, Kaohsiung. Turning around, Yang Dong signaled that this was the owner of the letter of introduction.

After a while, the female cadre came out, let Yang Dong in, and left by herself.

Yang Dong saw a mother and son sitting in the office, and the two looked very similar, which could be seen at a glance. The look in the eyes of the mother and son looking at Yang Dong made Yang Dong very uncomfortable.

Yang Dong walked straight to Kaohsiung's desk and stood up, waiting for Kaohsiung to ask.

Kaohsiung has seen Yang Dong, and when Yang Dong was very young, his parents brought him to the Wasteland Army. At that time, Kaohsiung and Yang Dong's parents were captains.

Now Kaohsiung has been promoted and has become the deputy head of the regiment, but Kaohsiung is not happy when he looks at Yang Dong.

Yang Dong's letter of introduction was stamped by the city lord and the head of the regiment, and the priority was the highest. Theoretically, coming to him is just a formality to join the Wasteland Army.

But Kaohsiung's sister, who brought his nephew to find him, also wants to join the Wasteland Reclamation Army. But there is only one quota for the establishment, and if Yang Dong enters, his nephew can't enter.

This is why as soon as Yang Dong came, the female cadres felt bad, and the mother and son looked at Yang Dong incorrectly.

However, Kaohsiung soon had a way, and the rules were all loopholes. Yang Dong has a priority, yes, but Kaohsiung decided to fool Yang Dong.

As long as Yang Dong is deceived away, and when his nephew's file is sent to him for stamping, it will be useless for Yang Dong to find it at that time.

The only loophole is that the female cadres know, but Kaohsiung knows that the female cadres recently wanted to buy a Qinghua Liuxian skirt from the refining workshop.

When the head of the regiment asked, he said that Yang Dong was late. Without evidence, even if Yang Dong wants to make trouble, it will be useless.
