Chapter 513: Veteran

So, I went to Magnolia's wonton shop and asked for a small single room in the backyard. The beautiful girl waited for a while, and the guard brought the beggar back.

I heard that it was the young lady of His Royal Highness the King of Han who was looking for it, and the beggar refused to come even if he died. And when he came, he covered his face with his sleeve, and refused to be seen.

The beautiful lady was a little funny, so she ordered someone to serve him a big bowl of wontons, "Since you don't want to see me, you will eat first, and I will let you go after eating." ”

When the beggar heard this, he hurriedly took the wonton, and poured it into his stomach regardless of the heat.

After eating in three or two, he wanted to leave with a wipe of his mouth, but the beautiful girl said quietly.

"I, a little woman, have gone back on my word again. I'm not a big husband either, so I don't need to say anything, right? ”

The beggar panicked, "Then you, what do you want to do?" ”

Mei Niang chuckled, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to ask you a few questions." Let's talk about the first one first, are you a soldier who followed His Highness in the Pingganzhou Rebellion, or a soldier in the Qingguo Rebellion? ”

The beggar stared at his feet all the way without raising his head, "Neither." Actually, I lied, I originally followed General Yan to Qingguo. It was only later that we were defeated and scattered, and when His Highness went down to Qingguo, he found us back.

I'm ashamed to say that even my foot is not lame on the battlefield. Instead, he suffered frostbite and had to cut it in half before he became lame.

So young lady, you don't have to be so kind. When I was discharged from the army, His Royal Highness had already given me enough silver, and it was because I was not angry and the mud could not be put on the wall that I ended up in such a field. ”

The beautiful lady raised her eyebrows, and a smile disappeared from her eyes, "Do you still know that mud can't be on the wall?" Listen to what you talk about, it shouldn't be an ordinary creep, right? Let's talk about how I ended up in such a field, just to repay His Highness's kindness, let me listen to relieve my boredom. ”

Solution, relief from boredom?

The beggar was a little confused.

But Meiniang also urged him, "What, I'm embarrassed to say?" Did you go to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, or pretended to be an uncle to squander it? Do you know how difficult it is for His Highness to ask for that silver? For this reason, I don't know how many powerful people in the capital have been offended, and now the emperor has been assigned to Qingzhou to repair water conservancy, and I can't go home for the New Year. Tell me how you squandered his kindness. If there is such a thing again, I will definitely stop His Highness and prevent him from doing this stupid thing again. ”

"Nope! That's not true! The beggar was provoked by her, and he was about to cry, "We didn't squander His Highness's kindness, it's really ......."

It's the nostalgia is vicious, and the human affection is hard to say.

These disabled soldiers who retired from the army returned to their hometown with the compensation money, and originally wanted to buy a few acres of land and marry a daughter-in-law to live.

However, as soon as they knew that they had money in their hands, all their relatives came to the door.

They are all poor, they are all difficult, and every family has a scripture that is difficult to read.

This one has to borrow a few from a daughter-in-law, and the other has to borrow a few to repair a house, even if you know that you have borrowed or not, can you not borrow?

And he is crippled, and in his hometown in the future, he will always have to rely on his relatives to take care of him.

Otherwise, everyone will say that if you have money, you forget your roots, who can afford it?

As a result, the field that was originally intended to be was gone. The daughter-in-law who thought of it was nowhere to be seen.

Penniless and disabled, they began to be disgusted by all kinds of dislikes after eating white rice for a while.

If you want to talk about money again, how do you open your mouth?

Even the parents and elders who advocated borrowing money at the beginning opened their mouths to blame, why didn't they have a plan in their hearts?

I thought you were just taking out a small head, and you even lent out your wife, are you stupid?

So, these disabled veterans couldn't stay in their hometown, so they were like this beggar, and they still had some doorways, so they went back to Wucheng, wanting to find help from their former comrades, so that they could find something to do and make a living.

can be a son of heaven and a courtier.

Since the defeat of the Wucheng military camp, General Yan killed himself, and the new military camp transferred soldiers from Tiannan and Haibei to the emperor. The old comrades had long since disappeared, and it was extremely difficult to make a living in the city.

Also, who wants a waste man who can't carry it on his shoulders and can't carry it in his hands?

What else can you do but beg?

The veteran sat on the ground and cried at the end.

Although there is remorse in the heart, who may be to blame?

Even if this were to happen again, how would they choose? If they don't go back to their hometown, where will they go to earn a living?

Xiao Hotaru, who told the beauty girl to leave it alone, cried and had red eyes.

She was also born in the countryside, and she understands the simple but difficult human feelings.

"Young lady, can we find him something to do?"

The beautiful girl shook her head slightly, not knowing whether to ask her or herself.

"He's solved, there are thousands of left, what should I do?"

Xiao Hotaru said aggrievedly, "Then didn't you say before that you could save one one?" ”

The beautiful girl smiled and sighed, "You girl, you say that you have a hard mouth, but in fact, you are the most soft-hearted." ”

She looked at the crying veteran, "How many veterans do you know who are in the same situation as you?" Contact them all and give me a list. Let's start with it, I don't want those who have bad habits. I want to help, and I only help those who can still be saved. ”

The old soldier was stunned, still with snot and tears on his face, so he looked at the beautiful girl.

"You, do you really want to help us?"

The beautiful girl's black eyes were sincere, but with three points of sternness, "Then it depends on whether you are worth helping." I'm just in time to build another workshop, and I'm short of a group of trustworthy guys. I don't dislike you for being slow, nor do I dislike you for not having the strength, my work there is not so heavy. I'm afraid you can't do it well......"

Before she could finish speaking, the veteran suddenly stood up, his voice trembling.

"We can do it! As long as you don't dislike us slowly, we will definitely be able to do a good job! We don't want to have as much money as the guys outside, we just need to have something to eat. It's just, it's just that some of you are quite old, you, are you still willing to care? ”

Mei Niang said, "If you don't dislike them for slowing down the progress, I won't dislike them even more." Anyway, the money is calculated according to the whole group, or it is calculated according to the rules of your military camp and organized into a team. There is a team of 10 people, and a team leader is responsible. On weekdays, I only take care of food and accommodation, and pay on a monthly basis. Each team also has to guarantee each other, if one of them is not honest, sit together collectively, and the whole team will be driven out! ”

"Good!"

The veteran knelt down, kowtowed to the beautiful girl three times, and his head was oozing blood.

"The young lady's high righteousness, if we don't know how to repay it, it's no different from a beast! In Xia Tong Jingzhong, he once served as the captain of the Wucheng military camp, and in the future, my brothers and I will return to the young lady! ”

The beautiful girl only loves to confess like this when she is a soldier, and she secretly thinks in her heart, she is good, why do you want other people's lives?

But when she encountered danger in the future, it was Tong Jingzhong who took these disabled veterans and fulfilled today's oath with his life.

Here gave Tong Jingzhong a piece of silver, but he didn't want it, only took the hanging money, and went to pull the team.
