Chapter 9 It's Good to Be Young
When it was almost dark, the white ash troops walked to the bottom of a cliff, this cliff is very long, it seems that it will take a long time to go around, Luo Wen was just about to beckon everyone to rest, Uncle Ergui came over with an old man in rags: "This old man fled from this nearby village, he has information for us." ”
"The old man sits here, come, give the old man a set of clean clothes, as well as jerky and water. Luo Wen looked at the tired and thin old man in front of him, sad for no reason.
"Thank you, sir, thank you. The old man held the clothes and dried meat with tears in his eyes
"Don't call me sir, call me Lother, we're both fugitives, but we're lucky enough to get these things, you can tell me what you know. ”
"Yes, Lord Lother. The old man said directly, "The young people of several villages near us have been captured by the Dajin Empire, either as cannon fodder, or to build roads and camps, only we are old and immortal, and there are still some children, who have not eaten for two days, and usually dig some wild vegetables to eat." We had a dozen more young men who escaped without being captured by Fury's men. My lord, I know that the nearest camp of the Dajin Empire is behind this cliff, but it will take two days to get around this cliff, which is quite far, so it is safe for us to hide here. The old man talked as he ate, and he couldn't stop talking about their misery.
"Old man, what did you say about the nearest camp?"
"We've seen from afar, and often there are wagons that go in with things, and when they're unloaded, they come back empty, but there's one covered with cloth, and we haven't seen it, right? The old man bowed his head and pondered for a moment.
As soon as Lovan heard it, he understood, isn't this another logistics battalion? "Old man, how many people are estimated in this camp?" Lovan asked another question.
"The number of people, we don't count, but everyone estimates that there are forty or fifty people. The old man said uncertainly.
"Thank you, old man, you have also seen it here, there are only more than 20 people, I don't know if the old man, you young men who escaped are willing to join us, although we can't make any specific guarantees, but what we can guarantee is that we are all treated the same, and there is no discrimination. As soon as Lovan heard about forty or fifty people, he knew that he couldn't handle it like this, and that he needed to replenish the number of people to deal with more and more enemies in the future, and this time there were more than ten young people who were a good opportunity to seize it.
"Actually, I don't want to hide it from my lord, my main purpose here this time is also this, our descendants all want to join the adult's team and avenge their relatives, just ask the adult to agree. The old man said excitedly.
Luo Wen was stunned for a moment, didn't he fall asleep and sent a pillow, and immediately said righteously: "Our team was established for world peace, and revenge for our relatives is part of our action, thank you for your support, I welcome them to join on behalf of our white ash troops, and they will be our brothers and our family from now on!"
The old man listened to the tears in his eyes, this is the team of our common people! Then he said: "I'll go back and call them over, my lord, wait a minute." A moment later, the old man came with a dozen young men, most of whom looked to be about twenty years old, and even two little boys who looked about the same age as the little fat man.
Luo Wen couldn't help but nodded, well, yes, they are all young people, easy to cultivate, energetic, and brainwashed. Luo Wen said: "Let me introduce myself first, my name is Luo Wen, you can call me Luo Ther, in fact, I am eighteen years old this year, yes, about the same age as you, but I look more mature, hehe." Our team members are all our fellow countrymen, this is the bearded Molier, this is the little fat man Little Rothian, sixteen years old. I want to say that although we were only sixteen or eighteen years old, we also captured two prisoners, led a sneak attack on an enemy logistics camp, and obtained a large amount of weapons and food. You can do that, too! And you can do even better! Brothers, welcome to the White Ash Army! Welcome to a new home!"
"Uncle Fat An, give each of them a set of clothes and a knife. Rowan decided to give each of them the equipment to let them feel it, "Oh, get them some meat to eat, look at these skinny little kids who can't hold a knife." ”
So Fat An first cooked the broth for the young men, and when they all finished eating with a scream, each of them was given a set of clothes and a knife. It was originally a young and turbulent age, and I was hungry and had no strength to jump before, but now that I have eaten and drunk enough, I excitedly took a knife here and there to take a look.
Looking at the group of lively young people in front of him, Luo Wen sighed: "It's good to be young!" The little fat man standing next to him rolled his eyes: "Senior brother, you are about the same age as them." ”
"Actually, I told you that I was thirty years old, do you believe it or not?" Lowen looked at the little fat man with sincere eyes.
"Believe you, it's weird!" the little fat man gave another free white eye.
"In this world, no one believes to be honest, how can an honest person like me live. Rowan looked up at the sky and made a look of "I'm honest".
When these young people were excited enough, Lovan gathered them together and said: "Brothers, since you have decided to join our White Ash Force, you must be ready to fight, although so far, our troops have not suffered casualties, but it does not mean that there will be no casualties in the future, in order to improve your survivability and combat ability, our deputy commander Uncle Molier will train your basic combat qualities in the next two days." In order to avenge your relatives and to save your enslaved relatives, you must study hard! ”
When everyone dispersed, the little fat man leaned over with a look of adoration: "Senior brother, I can't see that you have a good way of coaxing people, I want to learn from you!"
"When you're thirty, so will you!" said Loewen with a sincere face.
Two days passed, and the eighteen young people quickly integrated into this big collective, and basically had the fighting quality, and they only needed to improve them in actual combat in the future.
On the third day of the newcomer's joining, Fat An found Lo Wen, pulled him aside, and whispered to Lo Wen an unfortunate news: the food was almost out of food, and it could only last for a week. Originally, it was expected that there would be enough food for a month, but with the addition of these young people and the support of these fleeing old people, it is estimated that it will only last for a week.
"Looks like I still need to do a big deal. Luo Wen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, although the team has grown, but the consumption has also increased. Lovan decided to go to the camp with the bearded man in the evening.
After Luo Wen told everyone his thoughts, he and the bearded man brought five days of dry food and water, and set off. As soon as he walked out, the and the little white fart followed.
"Hey, what are you two doing here, are you going to make trouble. When Luo Wen saw that these two uncles were coming, he was very speechless, he couldn't beat him, he couldn't run and run. Xiaobai sat on the head of the and hummed and chirped, and then the grabbed a stone the size of a human head under his feet, slapped it hard, and shattered.
"Lowan, I think the means that it has force, it can help us, wait for them to follow, as long as we don't get exposed, maybe they can help us catch some rabbits and fight tooth sacrifices on the way." The bearded man laughed.
"Yes, it's okay to help catch rabbits, okay, just keep up for the sake of your usefulness, don't mess around." Luo Wen thinks about it, after all, the is more sensitive than humans in the jungle, and it will take four days to go back and forth this time, and it may be easier to have the in the two of them.
