Zhu Huilan no longer thinks of herself as a woman now, she moves stones, chops wood, rams earth like men, she almost forgets the ladylike posture that she learned to twist her waist before the age of seventeen, and she doesn't care about wiping her hands, she will desperately squeeze through the crowd to grab her own steamed buns from the big rattan basket of the Huotou Army. If anyone dared to take advantage of her, she would lift a stone and throw it at her like a man. Right now, she was struggling to carry two baskets of earth and rocks and move forward step by step.

For the sake of fairness, Xin Gu divided the households under his rule into five classes, respectively to do five kinds of work: transporting earth and stones, building walls, cutting wood, beating grass, and digging rat food, among which digging rat food is the easiest, and the rat food dug up belongs to the households themselves, and the soldiers do not disdain to extract thirty percent of it, and carrying soil and stones is the most tiring, and a strong man can not bear it.

Although the supervising soldiers saw that Zhu Huilan was a female streamer and did not let her fill the basket, Zhu Huilan was already very struggling, her waist was originally slender, and her round shoulders carried a flat burden that was pressed into the shape of a bow, dangling like an unstable balance, telling the people next to her to sweat and avoid it from a distance, for fear that the basket full of earth and stones would accidentally hit herself. Most of the only more than 4,000 healthy women in Lanzhou have found men almost within a month, and these heavy physical tasks are naturally undertaken by those men who have returned to the beauties, but Zhu Huilan knows her own family affairs, the woman in the green house, the laundry house, is this pickled body still married? Even if the man doesn't like it, she hates the things of the man and woman. It's not that I want to be a chaste martyr, but now a person has a small room to live in, although it is cold, but he sleeps peacefully, and he is no longer subjected to the endless tossing of those wolf-like men, so there is nothing else for Zhu Huilan. So although the person who said that the person who was close to him broke through the threshold, she just didn't allow it, and after a long time, the person who asked for the kiss did not come, but she was a single woman, so she had to bear the hard work that was originally done by men.

In order to prevent water accumulation, the sheep house was built on a hillside, Zhu Huilan exerted all her strength, trembling and carrying the earth and stones to the slope, and suddenly his feet slipped, and he was about to fall if he couldn't bear the strength. People carry heavy burdens and fall, it is most easy to twist the waist and legs, and it is uphill, and it is possible to break tendons and fractures, suddenly, her mind is blank, she only feels that the world is spinning, and she no longer has half the strength to stabilize her body, at this moment, someone behind her helped her shoulder, although the flat burden of heavy earth and stones could not be contained and scattered on the ground, Zhu Huilan did not fall down. Feeling that a broad palm was firmly holding his shoulder, and the other hand was on his waist, Zhu Huilan, who had not been a man for a long time, couldn't help but blush, took half a step forward and took out of the man's grasp, and turned around to see that it was his own army and Han Dongjia. She is a woman in a large number of men's husbands, she has long been seen by Xin Gu in the eyes, secretly attentive, sure enough, when she went uphill, she rescued in time, she flashed with a red face, Xin Gu also knew that this was the habit of Han men and women not to kiss, not to hate themselves.

"The slave family thanked the military master. Zhu Huilan didn't dare to raise her head, after checking and thanking her, she panicked and picked up the soil and stones scattered on the ground, for some reason, she was always a little afraid to see this owner, and every time she saw him, there was no good thing, could it really be the injustice of the previous life, thinking of the injustice, she blushed slightly, and she didn't dare to look up at that person, and there was some unknown pathos in her heart.

Although her strength is small, her hands and feet are very sharp, and after a while, she put all the scattered earth and stones into the basket, gently lowered herself under the flat burden between the baskets, bit her lip tightly, and got up hard, huh? Why is it not as hard as usual, Zhu Huilan is still in a daze, and is about to move forward, but finds that the flat burden has been firmly held in the hands of Xin Gutuo, this person really has a brute force, stretched out his hands, and actually held the flat burden that almost broke her waist pole in the air.

"I've done the heavy work of moving earth and rocks for you, so go find some wild vegetables and rat food. Xin Gu darkened his face, said in a deep voice, and gently and skillfully put the flat burden on his shoulder, which was not as heavy as the whole body armor, and strode towards the hillside with the soles of his feet, leaving only Zhu Huilan standing on the halfway slope in a daze, letting the breeze gently stir her hair.

In order to motivate the soldiers and civilians to complete the construction of livestock houses and store forage before the heavy snow fell, Wu Yingying specially allowed each battalion to slaughter 20 sheep and feast for one night.

Because the progress of the hussar battalion is faster than other battalions, Xin Gu ordered to stop working early, and the army and civilians totaled more than 1,000 people sat in five circles, set up ten cauldrons, and Xin Gu operated the knife, peeled and washed the sheep, ten chopped into large pieces of mutton, and the wild vegetables picked by the households during the day, plus various spices stewed into a mutton fragrant pot, and the other ten were worn with two sharpened wooden sticks and put on the fire to roast the whole sheep. Mutton is the best way to ward off the cold, the sergeants and the people worked hard in the cold wind for many days, gathered around the blazing bonfire, smelled the fragrant smell of mutton, and felt warm and mellow, but did not feel hard.

"Big brother," Sun Gouzi served a large piece of mutton soup to his proprietor sergeant, the sergeant's name was Yan Gao, a native of Jiangyin, he took the soup bowl with a smile, and praised: "There is nothing to say about the craftsmanship of our captain, what is even more rare is this intention, what do you say, the gentleman cooks far away, fart!" Seeing Sun Gouzi looking at the broth in his hand this night, he scolded: "Be greedy, get your own go, let Captain Xin see the sergeant serving the people, you deliberately let me be scolded, right?" Saying that he was about to kick, the grandson dog seemed to be busy taking his own bowl to serve the soup as if he had been ordered by the emperor, Yan Gao smiled and looked at his back as he nodded and walked away, and took a sip of the fragrant broth, which was beautiful in his heart.

On the other side, Zhu Huilan carefully held a piece of roasted mutton, the burnt meat skin was sprinkled with fine salt, cumin and pepper, it was too fragrant, she took a bite gently, hot, she hadn't eaten meat for a long time, forgetting that the layer of oil skin sealed the heat below, and almost burned her tongue out of a fire bubble, Zhu Huilan hurriedly spit out this piece of mutton into the palm of her hand, and saw that no one paid attention to it, and after blowing it cool, she put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully. Xin Gu was proudly enjoying the compliments of his centurions, when suddenly a commander made a personal guard come over: "Where is Captain Xin?" "A certain family is here, what is the commander looking for me?" Xin Gu was born as a military captain in Ya, and he recognized that this personal guard was called Huang Xuan, who was born as a scholar, so he stopped him and asked.

"The commander invites Captain Xin to the city for a banquet!" As soon as Huang Xuan's words came out, all the centurions were happy and admired, and the commander of the capital made the adults believe in Captain Xin so much, and they didn't forget to call him after a good meal.

Hearing that Wu Yingying was recruiting each other, Xin Gu did not dare to slack off, and ordered several centurions to maintain the order of the hussar camp to have dinner tonight, be sure to divide the meat evenly, and not make the soldiers and civilians resentful. When I came to the commander's mansion, I saw that there was no one else, only the commander Wu Yingying, the main mother Huang Wen and another beautiful woman sat around the fireplace, because of the festival, Wu Yingying put all the guards around him back to the Ya military camp to feast and drink, and only asked Huang Xuan to pass on Xin Gu to come over.
