The same sound of broken gongs sounded in the surrounding courtyards, and the sound of the soldiers practicing in the city also sounded, and the strong men who stood up were still sighing, "All of you, now follow me to the small school field to gather!" The captain who led the team yelled again, "If you walk slowly and disobediently, let him taste the whip in Lao Tzu's hand" and shook it vigorously...... Under the leadership of the soldiers, the strong men came out along the gate and came to the street, at this time the light has been able to see things clearly, Ma Xiao looked left and right, this city is still so big, the street is spacious, you can't see the end of the street at a glance, the city wall is more than ten zhang high, and there is an attic on it, which is much bigger than the stone city.

On the street, there are a group of soldiers walking neatly in one direction, and there are also teams of "rabble" like them who are led by the soldiers to walk in the other direction, and as he walks, Ma Xiao found that there are no one in the city's residents and shops, and the facades and signboards have long been rotten, and the people who come in and out from it are either soldiers or miscellaneous servants, and it seems that they have become temporary barracks and warehouses. About half an hour, a group of people came to a vacant lot in the city, there is a large platform one person high from the ground in the clearing, a group of people wearing officer armor are discussing things, Zhang Tong is in it, next to a big flag, more and more people gather in the open space, Ma Xiao stood and looked around, and found that there were many more strong men than yesterday, and there were many fresh faces, it seems that Zhang Tong is not the only one who went out to catch the strong men, and the strong men who came back are not only a group of them.

After all the strong men arrived, the open space was already overcrowded, almost more than 2,000 people, like a vegetable market, and began to "buzz" and noisy, the officers on the high platform looked at the strong men under the stage and showed a satisfied smile, and finally another soldier struck the broken gong, and the strong men gradually quieted down, and a dark-faced officer stood out from the high platform.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" the officer looked at the crowd in the audience and paused, "Now that the family and country are in trouble, thieves and straw locks are wantonly running rampant on the territory of our Peiguo, plundering and ravaging the people of our Peiguo, causing the lives of our Peiguo to be ruined and starved all over the wilderness, and what they have done is intolerable to the way of heaven" The officer paused again and continued. Fortunately, General Moyun came out of the mountain, supported the prince to ascend the throne, and got the order of King Xinpei, so that we and the people of Peiguo regained their strength, and worked together to drive the thieves and grass locks out of Peiguo, and restore the great mountains and rivers of our Peiguo.

I couldn't listen to the words anymore, Ma Xiao began to look at the officers on the stage, one was Zhang Tong he knew, he was not wearing armor at this time, it seemed that he had injuries on his body, and he had not yet healed, one was a squinting man who came to the rescue yesterday, surnamed Tong, and the other was talking, calling himself "Lu" Of, the figure is a lot thinner than several other officers, the armor is loose, and the words are also crepe, it seems that he is not a general, it should be the city guard of this city, and there are still four people Ma Xiaoquan who have not seen it, but they should all be military generals who lead the troops, and there is a civil official city guard in this Suizhou City, and there are six generals to assist.

Wen Xuan's words finally ended in the middle of everyone's anger, the strong men lined up in several long lines, and began to register with a few records under the arrangement of the soldiers, and the registered strong men were led away by the soldiers one by one, the horse was small and small, and he was at the end, and it was his turn after an hour, and it was already dawn at this time.

The gray-haired reporter raised his eyes and looked at Ma Xiao and asked, "Who is the surname, who is the ancestral home, and when was he born?"

"My name is Ma Xiao, a person from Shanghe Village, a person born in the year of Gengzi" Ma Xiao's stomach had begun to rumble at this time, thinking about ending it quickly to get food to eat.

"Where is Shanghe Village, which state capital, which county seat?" asked the reporter angrily.

"I don't know, our neighboring villages include Xiahe Village, Shanling Village, Wadi Village, as well as Wild Boar Tun, Barebutt Mountain, and Dajiagou。。。。。。 ”

"That's enough!" As soon as the reporter heard that this baby didn't even know which state capital his hometown was, he directly interrupted his village name and counted Laibao. "Where were you brought back from?"

"Oh, like the previous ones, I was kidnapped from Stone City."

The old record didn't pay attention to him anymore, and wrote on a piece of bamboo slip with a brush: "Ma Xiao, ten years old, people from Shicheng, Yunzhou Mansion, Tingzi Camp Room" More than a dozen words, Ma Xiao has only read the three-character scripture and the surname of the hundred families, since he was a child, he is greedy for fun, and he can't recognize all the words, but he still recognizes his name, and took over his own brand, Ma Xiao and a few other young children followed a soldier away, and other children on the road were successively sent to the rooms of each battalion to report, and went around a big circle in the city, and finally arrived at the thunder word camp, Ma Xiao came into the room, only to see five people busy in the room, and a gray-haired man lying on a rocking chair humming a little song, when he saw Ma Xiao come in, the old man on the rocking chair raised his head and looked at him a few times"Damn, give some useless waste, what kind of work can this chicken-like doll do" seemed to be very dissatisfied with Ma Xiao, and the white-haired old man scolded as soon as they met.

Since Ma Xiao fled from the famine, being beaten and scolded has long become commonplace, and his face has long been thick, and he didn't feel the old man's insults at all, but asked weakly, "Do you still have anything to eat in the morning?"

The others were busy working in the room, and a white and fat, honest-looking man came over, picked up the bamboo card in Ma Xiao's hand and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Brother Ma, there is still rice soup and vegetable buns left in the morning, you can eat it yourself."

Ma Xiao smiled at him happily, in fact, he had already smelled the smell of vegetable buns, swallowed saliva and walked to the wooden barrel and generously filled a bowl of rice soup, saying that it was rice soup, the rice in it had already been fished out, only the water soup was left, Ma Xiao didn't care, picked up the rice soup, grabbed the vegetable bag on the wooden case and ate it, just ate two bites and saw that there was a bunch of radishes on the ground that had just been pulled out, picked one up and didn't wash it, wiped off the soil with his hands three times and two times and gnawed it up, drank the soup to "nourish the walk", ate the vegetable bag "let's chirp", gnawed the radish Kangji Kangji" actually used his teeth and mouth to play "music" in this small room.

A few people who were still busy suddenly stopped what they were doing, staring at this newcomer with a brush, they were all stunned by his appearance, even the old man lying in the rocking chair sat up, for some reason, the soup that was obviously full of water was drunk like agar by this doll, and the wild vegetable buns that were obviously unpalatable were eaten by him like delicacies from the mountains and seas, and it was just a big white radish, which he ate like a crisp fairy fruit, and looked at his chirp and ate so fragrantly, the people in the room couldn't help but want to taste it.

"Hahahaha。。。。。 With a hearty laugh, the old man changed his cold attitude just now, got up and came to Ma Xiao and said: "Little doll, you are a starving ghost who ran out of below on July 15, you eat slowly, no one robs you, we have nothing else in the room, this radish and soup are, hahaha... The rest of the room laughed too, and they all thought the kid was funny.

"Uh-huh" his mouth was stuffed full, and he couldn't speak at all, Ma Xiao could only stare at the food and nod his head in agreement, only then did he notice that the old man's right leg was fake, and he walked with a limp, and his right trouser leg was pulled up, revealing a piece of wood.

"Fatty, go to the storeroom and get a set of clothes and luggage for him," the old man said to the fat man just now.

"Okay, let's go" The fat man tore off the apron hanging on his chest, picked up the bamboo sign just now and walked out of the room. After a while, he walked in with a set of futon and an earthy yellow military uniform. At this time, Ma Xiao had almost eaten, patted his bulging belly, and breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction. The people in the room laughed again when they saw him like this.

Put on a wide military uniform and boots, wash your face, tie up your hair, a decent guy soldier appeared in the room of the thunderbolt battalion, he grew up in the crop field and did not be ambiguous at all, washing vegetables, lighting fire, pulling bellows, brushing pots, washing dishes, pounding garlic, moving, running, running before and after, hands and feet are very neat, at the end of the day, several people in the room are in love with this diligent little doll.

Ma Xiao also got acquainted with the people in this room, the lame old man here is the boss of the gang, he doesn't do any work, he just lies on the rocking chair and scolds and directs everyone to work, three meals a day, how many meters and noodles need to be prepared, I heard that he used to be a soldier on the battlefield, and he had been fighting with the army for many years, but unfortunately he lost a leg on the battlefield, and many officers in the barracks were his old friends, so he was the boss in this group of houses, and he was the boss for more than ten years;

There are four other ones, Lao Liu is the second child of a hotel; the big head was also a soldier, and he was so scared that he came out with feces and urine when he first went to the battlefield, and then he resolutely refused to go on no matter how he beat and scolded, and he had no choice but to send it to the partner room; Meng Blind was also a soldier, he was shot blind in one eye, and he came to the gang room when he couldn't fight, and there was also a man surnamed Wang, who usually didn't say anything, and his body was strong enough, and he didn't know why he was working in the gang room.

There are more than 300 people in Ma Xiao's thunder battalion, plus there are more than 350 strong men who have been made up one after another in the past few days, to make food for these individuals, the room is busy every day, getting up earlier in the morning than ordinary soldiers, and sleeping later than them at night, but Ma Xiao doesn't care, because the biggest benefit in this room is to be able to eat secretly, no matter what dish must be the first to taste in the room, Ma Xiao has played his ability to starve to death, his mouth has never been idle, he has worked hard, and he has eaten secretly, and the boss of the gang has scolded him when he sees it, but he doesn't care, so he is busy with green and green for half a month。
