"Jin Lang, take good care of yourself outside." Today's county yamen is crowded with people, Zhou Zelian sorted out Jinhuating's clothes and said.

"I see, you have to take good care of yourself and our children at home." Jin Huating looked at Zhou Zelian and said gently.

"Hmm." Zhou Zelian nodded, and took out a white handkerchief from her sleeve.

"This is the handkerchief I have sewn these days, and I will let it accompany you when I am not by your side in the future."

As a result, Jin Huating opened the handkerchief, and a pair of mandarin ducks were embroidered on it: "Wait for me to come back." ”

After finishing speaking, he put it in his arms and walked towards the county office, Zhou Zelian stood behind and looked at Jin Huating's back with tears on her face.

On the avenue with no end in sight, a group of troops wearing red armor walked quietly, and Jin Huating, who was in the middle of the team, raised his head and looked at his companions around him weakly, they had been walking for two days and one night, and everyone was obviously tired on their faces.

Suddenly, the team stopped, and a shout came from the front: "Everyone rest in place." ”

"Oh!" Hearing this, everyone cheered happily and hurriedly sat down on the ground to rest.

"Alas, I've been walking for so long, and I don't know when I'll get to the barracks." There was a sigh from the side, and Jin Huating looked at the young man next to him suspiciously.

"Brother, aren't we going to the border? Why did you say you were going to the barracks. ”

Hearing Jin Huating's words, the young man smiled: "At first glance, you just don't understand, who said that you are going to the border, we new recruits from various places must first go to the military camp for training for a few months, and then go to the border." ”

"I see." Jin Huating nodded in realization.

"Thank you brother for solving your doubts, what do you call your brother in Xia Jinhuating."

"You're welcome, Li Jiajie." Li Jiajie waved his hand and said casually.

"Okay, we are all from the same county, and I will ask Brother Jiajie to take care of us in the future." Jin Huating said to Li Jiajie.

"It's good to say, rely on your parents at home, rely on your friends when you go out, and we take care of each other on the battlefield." Li Jiajie returned the salute.

"Hmm." Jin Huating nodded heavily.

"Everyone, keep on your way." The sergeant in front shouted, and Jin Huating and the others got up and hurried on.

Another three days passed, and the military camps finally appeared in front of them, and the sound of training could still be heard when they were close.

"It's finally here." Li Jiajie had a smile on his tired face, and so did Jinhuating on the side.

Entering the barracks, there were more soldiers, some were veterans and new soldiers were training, and the newcomers in Jinhuating were given a day off.

At night, Jin Huating sat on the wooden bed and pondered, holding a handkerchief embroidered by Zhou Zelian in his hand, two people were sleeping on the left, and Li Jiajie was assigned to a tent on the right.

"Hua Ting, what's wrong with you?" Li Jiajie woke up and asked.

Jin Huating, who was awakened by the sound, was startled: "It's nothing, I just miss my mother, she is pregnant, and I don't know if I have taken care of myself." ”

Seeing the handkerchief in Jin Huating's hand, Li Jiajie understood, got up and sat aside: "I also miss my mother a little." ”

"I'm missing my lady a little."

"I thought, oh! I am an orphan and have no children. ”

Two voices sounded, and the two young men on the left, who didn't know when they opened their eyes, looked at Jin Huating and Li Jiajie.

"Ahh Excuse me, did we wake you up? Jin Huating hurriedly apologized and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can't sleep."

"Me too."

The rugged man adjacent to Jinhuating sat up, and the handsome man on the far left also sat up.

"Brother, are you also from Licheng County?" Li Jiajie looked at the two and asked.

Hearing this, the rugged man nodded: "Yes, my name is Shi Yuanling, you can call me Lao Shi." ”

"I'm also from Licheng County, and I'm Wu Guang." The handsome man on the side answered.

Li Jiajie laughed: "Haha, that's really a coincidence, my name is Li Jiajie, he is Jinhuating, and the two of us are also from Licheng County, but I didn't expect that the four people we were assigned together were all from Licheng County." ”

Jin Huating also smiled happily, and it was also a kind of fate to live with people from three hometowns in a distant place.

"Hehe, Brother Li, Brother Jin, Brother Shi, please take care of you in the future." Wu Guang scratched his head and said embarrassedly.

"No problem, look at your small body, I will protect you on the battlefield in the future." Shi Yuanling lightly hammered Wu Guang's thin figure, compared with Jin Huating, Li Jiajie, and Wu Guang, Shi Yuanling was the tallest and strongest person among the four.

"With the same hometown, we will too." Jin Huating and Li Jiajie said at the same time.

"Thank you, big brothers." Wu Guang said gratefully.

"Hey, since we're so destined, why don't we become brothers of the opposite sex?" Li Jiajie proposed.

Jin Huating, Shi Yuanling, and Wu Guang looked at each other and nodded: "Yes." ”

As soon as they said that, the four of them got out of bed and knelt outside the tent, while clasping their fists and looking at the sky outside the tent.

"I, Jin Huating (Li Jiajie, Shi Yuanling, Wu Guang), are brothers of the opposite sex again today, sharing blessings and difficulties, not seeking to be born on the same day and month in the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year." After speaking, the four of them kowtowed three times together.

The four of them glanced at each other, and Jin Huating spoke first: "I am twenty-eight this year." ”

"I'm twenty-seven." Li Jiajie continued.

"Haha, I'm thirty-one, it seems that I'm the oldest." Shi Yuanling said with a laugh.

"I'm twenty-five." Wu Guang said softly.

The four of them smiled brightly and did not fall asleep together until late at night.

Three months later, a man in silver armor stood on a high platform in the barracks, and there were rows of soldiers below the high platform whose numbers were invisible.

Fang Zhanxian solemnly looked at the soldiers under the high platform: "The country is prosperous, the people live and work in peace and contentment, but the barbarians are ravaging our border territory, mourning all over the wilderness, the people are not living, and they are trying to occupy our land, you are all the best sons of my country, for the sake of the country, for the family behind you, brothers dare to fight with that barbarian." ”

"Fight! War! War! The roar of the sky resounded in the sky, and the four of Jinhuating, Li Jiajie, Shi Yuanling, and Wu Guang, who were stronger than just now, shouted excitedly, and the momentum in their hearts was magnificent.

Fang Zhanxian had a smile on his face: "Okay, the army will open the front line." ”

The endless land, the flames of war, the smoke filled, here in addition to blood is corpses, the side wearing red armor and the side wearing wolf skin tiger armor fight each other.

Jin Huating, who was drenched in blood, mechanically waved the sharp broadsword in his hand, and Li Jiajie and Shi Yuanling beside him, Wu Guang and the three of them were already covered in blood, both enemies and their own.

"Ho, ho!" Panting, Jin Huating killed an enemy, and could no longer hold back his weakness and half-knelt on the ground.

"Second brother, how are you?" Shi Yuanling slashed down an enemy soldier and hurriedly stepped forward to ask when he saw Jin Huating's appearance.

"I'm fine, big brother." Jin Huating waved his hand, and Li Jiajie and Wu Guang also came to the two of them at this time.

"I can't move, I can't move, I'm tired." Li Jiajie sat on the ground weakly, and Wu Guang also leaned on Li Jiajie weakly.

Jin Huating looked up at the blood-dosing battlefield around him, got up and walked to Li Jiajie and Wu Guang and pulled: "Get up, this is on the battlefield, we can't relax." ”

Shi Yuanling also stepped forward and pulled up: "Hua Ting is right, we have to get up, as long as the four of us brothers are united, there is no difficulty to stop us." ”

"Okay." Li Jiajie and Wu Guang nodded and stood up with the pain.

The four of them supported each other and looked at the rushing barbarians with cold eyes, and the next moment they shouted at the same time: "Kill!" ”

Wielding a broadsword, all four charged forward at the same time.

On the city wall, Fang Zhanxian looked at the battlefield solemnly, his eyes swept to the four people of Jinhuating, and pointed to Liang Zichuan, the deputy general next to him, and said, "Are they good?" ”

Liang Zichuan looked at the place where Fang Zhan pointed first, the four of Jinhuating stayed with each other forever, and whenever there was an enemy rushing up in a place that he couldn't see, he would block what he saw next to him: "It's good, brave and strategic, it's four good soldiers." ”

"What's their name?"

"I'll check." Liang Zichuan replied and left, and trotted over a moment later.

"I found out, the four of them are Shi Yuanling on the left, Li Jiajie in the middle, then Wu Guang, and finally Jin Huating, all four of them came out of Licheng County."

Hearing this, Fang Zhan nodded first: "Well, such a brave soldier should be reused." ”

A few minutes later, the barbarians withdrew their troops, and the four of Jinhuating dragged their scarred bodies back to the city, although all four of them were injured, but fortunately there were no fatal wounds.

At night, the four people of Jinhuating, who had already bandaged their wounds in the tent, were lying on the bed, and Fang Zhan and Liang Zichuan walked in.

Seeing Fang Zhanxian and Liang Zichuan, the four of Jin Huating hurriedly wanted to get up: "General Fang, Deputy General Liang." ”

"Hey, don't move." Fang Zhan immediately pressed the four of them first.

"There are not so many rules under our army, how are your injuries?"

"Thank you General Fang for your concern, the four of us brothers are lucky, and our injuries are fine."

"That's good, you guys take good care of your injuries, today's battle is a hard punch to the barbarians, presumably they won't start a war for a short time."

"Okay, thank you, General." The four of Jin Huating nodded and said, After a while, Fang Zhan first and Liang Zichuan left.

"Second brother, why did you say that General Fang came to see our four little soldiers." Li Jiajie asked Jinhuating suspiciously.

Hearing this, Jin Huating shook his head lightly: "I don't know either." ”

"Whatever, the barbarians don't dare to come these days, and we can have a good rest." Shi Yuanling said loudly, and then fell asleep not long after.

"Big brother is right, you will always know something, I'm tired today, let's rest early." Jin Huating said.

"Oh." Li Jiajie and Wu Guang nodded and lay down to rest, Jin Huating took out a white handkerchief from his arms and glanced at it gently, then put it away and lay down.

In Licheng County, Zhou Zelian, who was about to give birth, looked at the night sky outside the window, gently stroked her growing belly and missed the distant Jinhuating.
