Chapter 217: Going Alone
"It's really not good, just look for a caravan on the road," Zhang Dalang was still admonishing, and Yuan Baoer had already left with his baggage.
"Wrong, on the other side," Zhang Dalang watched her go to the wrong fork, and became more and more worried.
You can also go to the two roads, but don't go to the border, but go to the southeast.
Compared with his worries, Yuan Baoer is much more confident.
She clenched her fists and cheered herself up.
Once born and twice cooked, you can always find the right path.
However, after three days of driving and running out of dry food, she had to admit that she was lost.
Fortunately, she followed passers-by into a bazaar, where routine conscription was taking place.
Yuan Bao'er thought about going to the border pass, and happened to follow the large army, so she went over to sign up.
At this time, she let the road guide of the mouse office work, and with ten taels of silver to open the way, she was smoothly adopted.
She followed the guidance to the barracks, which was bustling and lively at this time.
She glanced at a recruit who didn't know anything, looking around, full of curiosity.
Just as she was looking, someone struck her.
"Look at what, and then look at the eyeballs for you to buckle down."
Yuan Bao'er took half a step back in fright, with a look of fear.
The man laughed and walked away satisfied.
The veteran who guided her over said: "It was all the heads just now, and they are all very domineering, so they have nothing to hide farther away." ”
Yuan Bao'er looked at her hands and feet, and bowed respectfully.
The veteran smiled, "Why are you still a scholar?" ”
Yuan Bao'er smiled shyly, "I did read some at home earlier." ”|
"You're really a scholar," said the veteran, "then you have to cheer up, there are no such stinking rules as you are, but there are some things you need to remember." ”
"That is to be obedient, to obey all orders from above, not to question, not to disobey, not to go out without orders, not to be ordered to slacken."
Yuan Bao'er hurriedly nodded.
The veteran said: "These will be taught in two days, I will tell you first, I am afraid that you don't know, and you will suffer a loss." ”
"With your small body, if you are hammered, it is estimated that you will have to recruit another one."
"It's not that easy to recruit now."
The veteran took her to a camp and went back to recruit soldiers.
Yuan Baoer lifted the tent, but before she could go in, she was pushed out by the stench.
There was laughter in the tent, Yuan Bao'er shook her head and stood at the door, "My name is Gu Bao, and I've seen you." ”
A few men glanced at her, and then chatted to themselves, without taking her seriously at all.
Yuan Bao'er smiled and found a place to sit outside.
After a while, the veteran brought two more men over.
The two seemed to be very accustomed to the smell of the room, and did not react when they entered.
Yuan Bao'er was convinced of them with a capital letter, but she really didn't have the courage to go in.
About half an hour later, there was a sound of gongs in the distance.
Yuan Bao'er stood up slowly, and without waiting for a move, a few men in the tent ran away.
When it comes to running, Yuan Baoer was not afraid of anyone, she immediately chased after her.
The men didn't care about it at first, but they didn't want Yuan Bao'er to watch it silently, but they ran very fast, and they fell behind in a blink of an eye.
"Hey, it's kind of interesting," the men held back their strength and chased forward one by one.
As a result, when they came to the place where the gong was struck, several of them turned out to be the first ones.
Yuan Bao'er was the first, but she didn't know the situation, but was preempted by the later ones.
She went over and took the bowl, honestly lined up, beat the soup according to the rules, and took the Hu cake.
Following the example of the men, he squatted under the wall, snorting rice soup and nibbling on Hu cakes.
"You kid can do it," the man next to her spoke first, "This speed, have you practiced?" ”
Yuan Bao'er smiled, "Yes, when I was a child, I always played in the fields and mountains, and I ran and jumped every day, and I practiced it." ”
"Where do you have mountains, where do you have?"
The man was interested.
Yuan Bao'er reported the place where the road was leading, and the man smiled, "Coincidentally, I am separated from you by two villages." ”
"Really," Yuan Bao'er suddenly burst out in a dialect.
The man actually picked it up.
"Really," Yuan Bao'er leaned towards him with a smile, "My name is Gu Bao, what's your name?" ”
"Zhang's dysentery," he said, snorting.
Yuan Bao'er wrinkled her face, looking at his head, he had a lot of hair.
Zhang leprosy smiled, "I wasn't like this when I was a child, and then the leprosy was cured, but the name remained." “
"It's a thought that I'm condensing like this, so I'll stay."
Yuan Bao'er, she really can't understand this kind of thought.
"By the way, why did you want to be here?"
Knowing that it was a fellow countryman, Zhang's leprosy box immediately opened.
"The harvest at home this year is not good, so I will pay off all the land and property, pay back all the money owed, think about the family is just me, simply join the army, in case of good luck, mixed with a petty official, there will be hope in the future, no matter how poor there are still a few years of food, I will be able to make a living in the future."
"That's the reason," Zhang Leprosy nodded, "The big guys all come with this in mind, but there are a few more who can really become famous." ”
"I don't have that great ambition, I'll turn my small copper plate, and when I come back, I'll marry my daughter-in-law, and I'll be content to honor my mother."
"Yes," Yuan Bao'er said with a smile.
"Then borrow your auspicious words," Zhang leprosy patted her shoulder and squeezed it, "Oh, look at you, you are skinny, like a little chick." ”
"In the future, you will follow me, wherever I go, you will go, with me, others will not dare to bully you."
Yuan Bao'er nodded with a smile.
At this time, she didn't know the true weight of Zhang's words.
And Zhang Leprosy didn't know what he brought after this promise.
After eating, the two of them were like brothers.
Seeing that the two of them were so fast, they also had scruples.
When he returned to the camp, Zhang roared angrily and successfully stabilized everyone's shoes.
Yuan Bao'er has a good temper, "I know a prescription, it is particularly effective to deal with this, if you are willing, I will go buy some medicine, and when it is soaked, you will be comfortable." ”
"That's good, but we don't have any money," someone said with a laugh.
"No, everyone is in the same tent, just for my nose, I will invite this time today, but you will have to buy it yourself in the future."
She turned her head and went out.
At this time, the soldiers are not yet recruited, and they can move freely.
Yuan Bao'er went to the prescription and grabbed a few pieces of medicine and came back, let them make a big cauldron, add it up to boil the medicine, and pour a basin for each of them when they were done.
Everyone looked at the black potion and didn't dare to stretch their feet. 、
Yuan Baoer looked at Zhang for dysentery.
"What are you afraid of, it's all for your good, don't hurry," he shouted.
