Chapter 55: Suicide note

Chapter 55 Suicide Note

The corpse truck was parked next to a tall pile of firewood. A number of sergeants stepped forward and removed the bodies of the sergeants one by one, and some of them fumbled for the suicide notes left in the corpses, and then the bodies were placed on the pyre.

Almost all sergeants put the suicide note in the middle of the sandwich of the two layers of armor on their chest. This is exquisite, put it here, it is not easy to be soaked in your own blood, otherwise the suicide note will be soaked in blood, but you can't see what is written.

These suicide notes will be registered with a special barracks paperwork, and the suicide note will usually leave the sergeant's own name, as well as the object and address to which the suicide note will be transferred. The Imperial Court would pass on the pension to the sergeant's family along with the suicide note, according to the message left by the sergeant. As for the corpses of the sergeants, the ashes were buried in a cemetery after being cremated, leaving a tombstone for those with a name, and a nameless monument for those without a name.

This scene touched all the Taoist heroes, and they prepared their own suicide notes. Most of the Taoist heroes are more or less literate, and the secret thing like the suicide note is, of course, written by themselves. But there are also a few Taoist heroes who can't read big characters, so they entrust the document of the Taoist army, that is, Jiang Chen, to write a suicide note.

Not much, among the more than 1,000 Daozi soldiers, there were only more than ten people who found Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen prepared the pen and ink and completed them one by one.

These suicide notes are also bizarre. Among the more than ten people, most of them just left a name, an address, and one or two words to explain the aftermath, which is simple. However, there are also some people who prepare the suicide note extremely cumbersomely, nagging non-stop, Jiang Chen wrote three pages in one go, and the other party still has no intention of stopping.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but stop writing and said: "This fellow Daoist, if you are writing a book, if the suicide note is too thick, it can't be stuffed into the armor compartment." ”

The man sighed and said, "I'm going to die, of course, I still have a lot to say! ”

After finally writing this person's suicide note, the next one to come in was a round-faced fat man, Jiang Chen smiled when he saw this person: "Old Wu, I knew you would come!"

This "Lao Wu", like Jiang Chen and Jiang Wu, is in the eighth battalion. His duties are even more special than Jiang Chen's, and he is a swineherd who specializes in raising boar demons. The boar demon is a more common demon beast in the vicinity, with rough skin and thick meat, which is relatively easy to tame. If there is a battle, if you release these boar demons, you can also break up the enemy's camp. Therefore, more than 100 mountain boar demons were domesticated in the Daozi army, and it was Lao Wu and a few others who were responsible for daily captivity.

This Lao Wu is actually less than thirty, but he is honest and honest, quite old-looking, and looks like a person in his forties, so Jiang Chen and others call him "Old Wu". Lao Wu cultivation is also a strange fate, he was originally a poor family, when he was collecting firewood on the mountain, he met a mountain Taoist, the Taoist cultivated on the top of the mountain, sent him to deliver food to the mountain every day, and then passed on a little basic Taoism to him. However, he hadn't learned much yet, so the mountain and wild people just said goodbye. Later, he heard about the Daozi Army, and coveted the wealth, so he rushed to join the army. His Taoism is very poor, if it weren't for his honesty and diligence, Lan Jiusi would not have taken him in in the Daozi Army.

Lao Wu always smiled on weekdays, but no matter who invited him to do something, he shook his head: "Those boars haven't been fed yet!"

As soon as Lao Wu came in, he said: "Brother Jiang, I ask you to write a letter, just a few words, I have to go back after writing, those wild boars haven't been fed yet!"

"Okay!" Jiang Chen smiled: "You say, I write." Don't worry, I won't reveal a word about the content of the letter. ”

"That's good!" Lao Wu nodded gratefully, he thought about it and said, "I'm dead......"

"Isn't this nonsense!" Jiang Chen said in his heart, since it is a suicide note, it must be shown to others after he dies.

Lao Wu continued: "Please double-check this matter before cremation. ”

"What is it?" Jiang Chen asked in a daze.

"It's me who died!" said Wu.

Jiang Chen glanced at him: "You're still afraid of being buried alive!"

Lao Wu said: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, in case I still have a breath! My mother said that my life is hard, I am not yet thirty, and I have not married a daughter-in-law, so I will not die so early!"

"Okay, I'll just write it!" Jiang Chen wrote according to Lao Wu's words, and Lao Wu said: "Continue to write: I was going to marry you, but I didn't expect to die young, it's really unlucky! This money is the dowry I saved, so I'll give you as a dowry, and you can remarry someone else and live a good life!"

Jiang Chen's heart moved, it turned out that this old Wu was still a long-term lover, and he had also decided on a family affair.

"It's written!" Jiang Chen said, "leave the address." ”

"Shannan Town, Chunan County. ”

"Leave a name. ”

"I don't know. Old Wu shook his head.

"Don't know?" Jiang Chen was stunned: "If you don't know, who will this suicide note be handed over? Aren't you going to marry her? I don't even know my name?"

Lao Wu said: "I originally planned to go back to the town to marry a beautiful daughter-in-law after taking the military salary, haven't I married yet, how do you know her name!"

"Do you have any other relatives?" Jiang Chen asked.

Lao Wu shook his head.

"What then?" Jiang Chen frowned: "Who will show this suicide note, and who will you give your pension?"

"Give me my daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the door!" Lao Wu said: "That's it, when you get to Shannan Town, whoever is the most beautiful girl will be given it!"

"......" Jiang Chen was a little speechless, but he still nodded: "Okay, just write as you say!"

After Jiang Chen finished writing, Lao Wu folded the suicide note and hid it in his arms, and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Jiang! I'm going back, those wild boars haven't been fed yet!"

After Lao Wu left, a few more people came to ask Jiang Chen to write a suicide note. Jiang Chen was busy for a day before it was all completed.

Back in the dormitory, Jiang Chen saw Jiang Wu picking up a pen.

"Are you also writing that thing?" Jiang Chen said, "Who are you going to hand it over?" The two brothers went to the battlefield to fight side by side, naturally they lived and died together, one died, and the other probably couldn't live. It makes no sense to hand over the suicide note to the other party.

"Give it to Aunt Li!" Jiang Wu said: "She took care of us for several years, and we always couldn't pay the rent, and she didn't drive us away." And she has no children and no daughters, so the pension will be given to her for the elderly. I also deliberately left a few words to tell Aunt Li that she was okay to feed the black ants under the yellow locust tree. ”

"Okay!" Jiang Chen nodded.

"Brother, did you write it, and who are you going to give it to?" Jiang Wu asked curiously.

"I didn't think about it!" Jiang Chen said: "I originally planned to give it to Aunt Li, but it's enough for her to have yours, so I'd better change someone." ”

Jiang Chen took out the paper, lifted the pen, paused for a moment, and then wrote on the paper: "The third lady of the medicine king Zhuang Junzhu collects ......"

"I owe her so much, I can pay back a little bit!" Jiang Chen thought in his heart: "There are also those "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum", since she likes it, if my brothers encounter an accident, they will also transfer the "Ten Thousand Demon Spectrum" to her." ”
