"I'm sorry, Brother Liu, it's us who has caused you trouble, hey......"

Looking at the green mountains in the distance, after being stunned for a while, Li Zhu turned his head to look at Liu Yuanzheng beside him, and said very unwillingly.

Hearing this, Liu Yuanzheng was also unlucky. But then I don't know what came to mind? replied with a nonchalant face.

"Boy, you don't have to worry about Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu's relationship in the army is definitely far beyond your imagination, otherwise after losing such a big face in front of the commander and the division commander, if you are replaced by another ordinary company commander, I am afraid that you may lose your life, but Lao Tzu is just demoted to dig the dirt with you!"

"In fact, even if this is the case, it can be regarded as someone above protecting Lao Tzu, because, it is estimated that it will not be long before the limelight of this matter passes, and that military uniform will return to Lao Tzu's body, do you believe it or not?"

"You're all like that! Can you go back? A big question mark flashed in my mind. Li Zhu was a little stunned for a while!

Because at this moment, Liu Yuanzheng in front of him has already been stripped of his spirited military uniform. He turned to wear a ragged linen suit, just like himself, working hard with his face facing the loess and his back to the sky.

"Hurry up, grinding, but do you want to be beaten? Then you'll be ......"

"Ah......h

Before Li Zhu could figure out what Liu Yuanzheng meant, next to him, there was a sudden loud shout from the supervisor.

Then came the sound of whip swinging and screams.

This made Li Zhu shudder, although these were overseers served by soldiers. They don't do much to free workers like themselves, and most of the targets they beat are coolies, because free workers are paid. Therefore, there are fewer lazy people who are lazy in their work.

However, when the screams came, Li Zhu still had a burst of fear from the bottom of his heart!

Just when Li Zhu was extremely frightened. was suddenly patted on the shoulder by Liu Yuanzheng beside him. At the same time, I gained some comfort......

"Don't be afraid, as long as you follow Lao Tzu closely, those people won't dare to attack you casually. Because people take the tea and cool way, at present, no one dares to ...... Lao Tzu"

In this way, after the soldiers of the overseer walked away, no one dared to continue to scream. Li Zhu's mood gradually calmed down. smiled gratefully at Liu Yuanzheng.

"Brother Liu, I really don't know how to repay your affection?"

"What kind of affection, if you really have the heart to reciprocate......" Speaking of this, Liu Yuanzheng paused and stopped talking, but relied on his previous relationship to run rampant on the construction site, so he simply pulled Li Zhu and ran to a remote place in one breath before continuing.

"Boy, if you really want to reciprocate, you can listen to what Lao Tzu says next, first of all, this section of the road, it seems that it won't be repaired for long, and most of the rest of the work should be handed over to those coolies."

"After all, if you think about it, you free laborers and those coolies will always be inconvenient when they mix together, right?"

"In addition, the call for expanding the army is getting louder and louder, so compared to those boys from ordinary families, you eight thousand good men who keep their promises and take the initiative to come must be among the priorities above."

"So, in this case, you just need to work a little harder, in the process of these days, practice some of the items that need to be assessed, and when the recruitment action comes, you kid can become a squad platoon leader, instead of starting from a small soldier, in this way, the so-called reward in your mouth is meaningful!"

……

"Come on, boy. Don't be afraid of hardships, just with your small body, in the next conscription operation, it is impossible to play the position of squad and platoon leader with your skills. ”

"But it's not without shortcuts, and that's running, as long as you can run in the top 10 in a running test per 1,000 people, hehe...... Then Lao Tzu is going to congratulate you, because you can go to the sky without taking the test, and you don't have to go to the ring to fight to the death......"

At this moment, Liu Yuanzheng's chattering voice has always resounded in his ears. But Li Zhu turned a deaf ear.

In fact, no matter who picks up a hundred pounds of earth and stone. You have to be carried away by the people next to you, not walking. I don't care about what the people next to me say anymore!

It wasn't until he finished picking a load of soil that Li Zhu was able to pant loudly on the way back. Take the time to express your dissatisfaction......

"Brother Liu, let's hurry back to the excavation group, in this soil picking group, it's too hard......" Li Zhu just said this. Liu Yuanzheng jumped up, but Liu Yuanzheng just wanted to scold, but he thought that the next words could not be announced to the public. So he could only lower his voice and grit his teeth.

"Boy, only in this way can you train your running ability, this is a shortcut, a shortcut that can save you at least two or three years of struggle, you kid is simply mud can't support the wall, or how to drop?"

"No, Brother Liu. The younger brother didn't mean this, but the younger brother stayed here, and continued to work, exercising by the way, but Brother Liu, you better go back to the digging group, there is no need to accompany the little brother to suffer this crime here, anyway, with Brother Liu, where do you want to go with your face, isn't it a matter of your words? ”

As soon as Li Zhu's words fell, Liu Yuanzheng suddenly stopped. Turning his head and looking at Li Zhu strangely. until Li Zhu was inexplicable. Fang Cai retracted his gaze and said indifferently: "Don't talk about this, hurry up!" If Lao Tzu expected it to be good, the conscription operation. It won't be long before the ......"

In the past few days, Li Zhu really found something unusual because he had been reminded by Liu Yuanzheng in advance.

First of all, there are the free migrant workers, who are forcibly separated from the coolies. The coolies were forcibly taken to other places by the army.

Then there is less and less work for those assigned to you. And so it was a few days later. It looks like it's about to be repaired, and the roadbed of this section of the road. Just as everyone was holding their breath in their hearts. When I want to repair this section of the roadbed as soon as possible. But suddenly there was a gust of wind blowing from above......

"Did you hear that? This time, we don't have to be migrant workers anymore, and we will be conscripted into the army soon. ”

"Who's to say it's not, I've heard about the welfare of those regular soldiers, but it's really good."

"Three taels of silver a month......"

Li Zhu listened to his companions along the way, and he didn't know where to hear the gossip?

But the feet did not stop. After turning the entire valley around, he finally found Liu Yuanzheng in the corner who had put on his military uniform again.

"How? How have you been practicing in the past few days when Lao Tzu is away? "I just met, and I didn't wait for Li Zhu to speak. Liu Yuanzheng couldn't wait to ask.

In this regard, Li Zhu replied with an affirmative gesture. Just as Liu Yuanzheng had a smile on his face. Immediately seized the opportunity to ask.

"Brother Liu, you said that in the conscription project, there is really running?"

"Running, weightlifting, etc., are not necessary items for conscription, but you people have already been designated as soldiers, as long as there is nothing difficult to pass in appearance, there is basically no big problem, those that Lao Tzu taught you, to put it bluntly, are for the purpose of running for grassroots officers......"

"Whew! In this way, I, Li Zhu, can be regarded as the time to operate, and I am finally going to become an official? "I got the inside information I wanted from Liu Yuanzheng. Walk on the way back. Li Zhu couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind. And it's out of control!

I think that since my whole family committed an accident more than a hundred years ago and was relegated to this place, no one has come out in the past hundred years.

Well, of course, there are any reasons. But the main thing is the lack of money and connections, and the return to the door of the scholar class. Because sometimes it's not good to read books, you can get out!

And now there is no shortage of all this, and the most important thing is that the number of scholars in this army is indeed very small, and it is highly valued!

Is there anything more wonderful in this world?

You know, although because life is difficult. The other boys in the family have given up studying. But I have never given up reading since I was a child. Plus those books that have been inherited at home......

At this moment, looking up at the sky, Li Zhu just wanted to look up to the sky and roar. Fortunately, I finally remember that it hasn't worked out yet. And the more you get to this point, the more low-key you have to be.

In fact, until now, no matter how good Liu Yuanzheng is to himself. Li Zhudu has never told him about it. In fact, he is a cultural person.

Otherwise, it would not have been at the moment when I saw the news of the conscription. For the sake of that illusory future, and unwilling to continue to plow the fields with his ancestors, he came without hesitation......

……

"I can't give up, I must persevere!"

At this time, Li Zhu, whose eyes had already run away, no longer paid attention to whether there were still people on both sides who surpassed him, nor did he care about whether there were others in front of him. He gritted his teeth and staggered towards the end of the valley.

In fact, Li Zhu didn't know his state at the moment. It doesn't look like it's called running anymore, it's called moving!

And Liu Yuanzheng was also standing at the end of the line at the moment, looking at it a little nervously and walking slowly, and once said that if he wanted to repay himself, there was a chance that Li Zhu would be able to develop into his own person.

It's just that it's helpless, as long as you enter the track, no one can remind them, and you are not allowed to talk to them. This made Liu Yuanzheng unable to shout the cheer in his heart, so he could only watch it like this......

Fortunately, on the track at the moment, because the thousand people didn't know what this run meant to them. Perhaps they all knew through some gossip that they could fight for the position of junior officers through their fists in the future. But they don't know the benefits of running. So, there are really few people who have been able to persevere until now.

Li Zhu has run so far, in fact, he can be regarded as an extremely good batch, and there are only three or five people in front of him!

The most important thing is that there are only eight people who are still insisting on running, including Li Zhu himself......

In other words, the position of a squad leader, Li Zhu has already been able to get it!

But no matter on or off the field, no one has reminded the eight people who are still persevering. You're qualified!

Because everyone understood very well, Zhang Yun and Wang Xiangdong were standing on the top of the mountain, staring at the arena with binoculars......
