Chapter 10: Heirlooms
The rear of the carriage is relatively empty, and there are eight vacant seats.
As soon as Sun Wenhao and Bu Jiang got on the bus, the minibus began to start.
Sun Wenhao and Bu Jiang grabbed the handrail and tried to keep their balance, and sat down at the back of the carriage.
It's really hard to describe the feeling of being suddenly safe after a near death.
It's a bit physically and mentally exhausting.
Sun Wenhao leaned on the back of the chair, the back of the chair was very cold, the plastic was very smooth, and it was very comfortable to stick to it.
The body swayed back and forth like a cradle, and after a while he fell asleep.
But Bu Jiang sat beside him with great interest and watched TV......
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, the terminal - Qishan Barracks has arrived, please get off in turn! Thank you for taking this shuttle bus and I wish you a happy life! ”
"It's here! Get off! ”
Bu Jiang pushed Sun Wenhao.
Sun Wenhao rubbed his eyes, rested for a while, and felt a lot more comfortable.
There were no more people left in the car, except for two soldiers, a few young men like the two of them, who probably also wanted to join the army.
After getting out of the car, several young people, including Sun Wenhao and Bu Jiang, gathered together.
Young people always have something to say when they are together.
"Hey! Brother, you're here to join the army too? ”
"Oh, not really! Brother, where are you? ”
"I'm from xx village!"
"XX Village? It's so far away, so far, you all came to join the army? ”
"Alas! Brother, I won't tell you. If you don't join the army, there is no way out, and you can't get by. The world is too chaotic, and business can't be done. There is only a little harvest in the field, and the government is a little bit down, and the rest is not enough for the pirates to rob!
Moreover, I heard that they also robbed people......"
"So! Our generation of enthusiastic young people should devote themselves to the revolutionary cause, defend the family and the country, and sweep away all the dust! ”
It was a young man with glasses who spoke, full of energy. Others listened and agreed, but more scoffed.
If it weren't for the chaos of the world, joining the army would not only have military salaries, but also family members could also get the protection of the military, and joining the army would have become a fragrant bun.
Whoever wants to take the initiative to join the army will have to die and beg for a living with his head on his trouser belt.
"Brother Sun, what do you think of what he said?"
Bu Jiang was quite interested.
Sun Wenhao sighed and did not speak.
"Hey, what do you mean by that sigh?"
Bu Jiang Zhangji was confused.
A dozen or so people gathered together and walked to the recruit office.
In charge of recruitment was a young officer, not much older than them, with a very serious face, which was not easy to get along with.
There were already a lot of people lined up in front of a not-so-large desk, which was set up in the open air outside the barracks, at the foot of the mountain.
Surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, there were two armoured vehicles and three heavy combat vehicles on the side of the road, all painted in green, with Bundeswehr spray paint patterns on them.
From time to time, military sail trucks drive in and out, and the dust is a bit choking.
With the roar of the propellers, a helicopter gunship flew over the heads of the crowd.
In the middle of the queue, suddenly there was a commotion in front of me.
Someone shouted, "Why do you need to pay for joining the army?" ”
"Do you have an opinion?"
A majestic voice sounded, and the officer in charge of recruitment looked at him with a serious expression.
"Yes!"
"If you have an opinion, please keep it! Next! ”
"We are defending the country, why do we have to charge?"
The officer said, "That's what the policy says above!" There is a strict limit on the number of troops, and it is useless for you to complain to me! Two thousand dollars for enlistment, there is, you stay! No, please leave!
By the way, today is the last day of registration for this year's recruitment, so let's miss it and wait for next year.
In addition, anyone who disrupts the order of recruitment without reason will be punished as the crime of obstructing military affairs! ”
Although he was unwilling, the young man still took out the crumpled 2,000 yuan federal bill that he had crumpled in his personal collection, and signed it with his body temperature.
The officer's voice was loud and loud. Sun Wenhao and Bu Jiang also heard it.
The two glanced at each other, and their expressions fell instantly.
Sun Wenhao is a typical "proletariat" who has no dime on him, and the one he gets in the car is still rubbing the Bujiang River.
Bu Jiang is only a little better than the "proletariat", and he has less than ten yuan, and it is estimated that it is not enough for two people to go to a street stall to eat noodles.
Sun Wenhao lowered his voice and said, "Brother Bu, why don't you tell me that you want money to join the army?" ”
Bu Jiang looked innocent.
"I ...... I don't know. I decided to join the army on the impromptu basis, and I never asked my brother. How do I know? ”
Sun Wenhao grimaced, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Because he's already received a system prompt.
[System Word: New Main Story Pre-Quest - Collect the Enlistment Fee before the Recruitment Ends.] 】
"Why don't we go back to town and figure out what to do?"
Bu Jiang whispered a suggestion.
After all, staying here is not an option, a total of four thousand federal coins for two people is not a small amount, even if you stay until dark, it will not be of any use.
Sun Wenhao nodded, and could only try his luck with Bu Jiang back to the town.
The two waited for more than ten minutes at the bus terminal at the foot of the mountain, and spent two yuan to get on the bus.
The vehicle bumped all the way to the terminal of Yuta Town, and the two got off the bus.
This is the first time Sun Wenhao has seen a town in the Contra world.
In general, it does not look much different from the architectural style of the real world, but the population is not as dense as the ordinary towns in China in the real world, much like the town style of Vietnam, Thailand, and Myanmar.
The taller buildings are only three to five floors, and the tallest is only a seven-story building, which is not the same as the skyscrapers in the real world, which are dozens of floors.
Sun Wenhao walked around for a while and finally knew the reason.
War!
Just those two words.
Many parts of town have rocket launchers, deployed surface-to-air missiles, and small radars that spin in circles.
There are also a lot of bomb shelters, and most of the houses have been blasted.
Obviously, the forces of all sides have been fighting each other for a day or two.
However, the town of Ton Ta has its own security forces, and there is a battalion of regular troops in the military camp nearby, and the raging pirate force is not enough to compete with the town.
So in terms of security, the town is still safe and sound.
Most of the town's locals are wealthy, and each has its own business, with a variety of shops.
The exodus brought cheap labor to the towns, as well as wealth to the local population.
Sun Wenhao and Bu Jiang were dressed in gray coarse linen clothes, and the stolen goods on them were like dirt buns that had just come out of the mountain.
Under the leadership of Bu Jiang, Sun Wenhao followed him to the talent market in the center of the town, and he walked on the road for a long time, and he didn't even dare to sit on an electric tricycle for two or three yuan.
At noon, not many people come out looking for work.
Sun Wenhao and Bu Jiang walked around and saw what kind of air-raid shelter was moving bricks, grain storage warehouses were moving sacks, restaurants were washing dishes, sewers were cleaning garbage, hanging outside the windows of high-rise buildings to wipe glass, and so on......
It seems to be a bitter force, but there is not much money, and the most bomb shelter to move bricks is only 200 federal dollars a day, and the daily settlement.
After another walk, both of them shook their heads and sighed.
Bu Jiang said.
"Brother Sun, let's take a look, we don't have a high salary. In addition to recruiting this male public relations is not bad, it is written that 500 to 1,000 yuan a day, daily settlement! ”
Sun Wenhao glared at him and said with a straight face.
"What are you going to do selling chrysanthemums?"
"What? What sells chrysanthemums? ”
Bu Jiang asked.
"I don't know!"
Sun Wenhao said angrily.
Bu Jiang grabbed his head and thought for a while, and seemed to finally understand what it meant.
Suddenly, he screamed, startling Sun Wenhao.
"What? Surprised! ”
"Brother Sun, I have a way!"
Bu Jiang seemed to be happy.
Sun Wenhao's face was cold.
"Brother Bu, you don't really want to sell your ass, do you? Besides, it's too late? ”
"Brother Sun, wait for me!"
Bu Jiang ran to buy a bottle of ice dew purified water, drank it all in one go, and then ran to the public toilet in the talent market.
Sun Wenhao didn't know what the hell he was doing.
After a long time, the eldest Sun Wenhao thought that he had fallen into the sewer.
Bu Jiang grinned and walked out of the public toilet.
Sun Wenhao asked.
"Why have you been so long? What the? ”
Bu Jiang mysteriously took out something,
"Brother Sun, look!"
Sun Wenhao fixed his eyes and saw that there was a chicken-heart-shaped jade lying in Bu Jiang's palm, and there was a faint smell on it, with traces of washing, and it was wet.
"Your heirloom?!"
Sun Wenhao suddenly remembered that when he was captured by pirates, Bu Jiang ripped off the heirloom in advance and stuffed it into his mouth and swallowed it in his stomach.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it to be pulled out by him now!
Sun Wenhao said in surprise.
"What are you doing with it?"
Bu Jiang looked a little lonely.
"I can't help it now, I know there is a pawnshop in the town, you can pawn some jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. My family heirloom is 100 years old, and it should be worth a lot of money, so it should be enough for us to enlist in the army. ”
Sun Wenhao was a little moved.
After all, he and Bu Jiang are not related, and people are willing to help him as an heirloom, and this friendship makes Sun Wenhao very moved.
"Brother Bu, forget it. Let's think about it. ”
Sun Wenhao really doesn't want to owe people such a big favor.
"It's too late," Bu Jiang said.
"It's already afternoon, and by the evening the recruitment will be over. Next time, I don't know the Year of the Monkey...... Where else do we have any other ways to make money? That's it for now...... Wait until we get the money, we have to rush back to sign up. ”
"Thanks! Good brothers! ”
Sun Wenhao patted him on the shoulder, he knew that there was no need to say superfluous words.
Following Bu Jiang, Sun Wenhao walked into an aisle.
In the aisle, the shade is a bit dark and damp, and the wind is gloomy.
Following Bu Jiang from the aisle, Sun Wenhao passed by a gambling shop, where there was a lot of noise about playing mahjong and gambling money, and there were people making noise.
Further inside, it is a foot bath room, there are two unusually beautiful young ladies standing at the door, the smell of perfume can be smelled from a long distance, the white thighs are covered with flesh-colored stockings are very sexy, the lips are painted pink, very moist, and the oil is shiny with shiny, which makes people want to take a bite, and the polyester bandeau seems to be only attached to the chest sticker, and the huge round ball is exposed more than half.
Sun Wenhao couldn't help but look at it a few more times, but the two young ladies at the door didn't even look at him.
The two of them are dressed up in dirty buns, dirty, one has no money, and the other has no interest, and people don't bother to pay attention to them at all.
