408 Watching from afar

It seems to be called Coke.

Coke Cola, listen to it, listen to it, you know it's a great thing.

I heard that this cola is full of bubbles in your mouth, and it will make people want to burp when you finish it, but after burping, you will feel comfortable all over, and you want to take a second sip after drinking it.

It's a pity that even General Wang and General Xu only have half a cup, and it is already very good for the rest of the soldiers to get a sip each.

If you want to drink this evocative fairy syrup water again, I'm afraid you will have to wait until the next time you set up a return and wait for the work.

With anticipation, Ma Liang, the former leader of the border army and the new commander of the Xu family's army, took the brothers to the camp where the centurions handled official business.

By the way, this camp is also very talkative-all kinds of the Xu family's army are very talkative for the border soldiers.

The dark green tent is boxy, people can stand up straight inside, and the place inside is also quite spacious, and the one where General Wang works can accommodate hundreds of people.

In the other tents, thirty or forty brothers could sleep casually.

I don't know what kind of material this kind of tent is made of, and I heard that it is also a fairy object that does not exist in this world, with a thin layer, which can prevent wind and rain.

It looks quite large, completely stored, only the size of a washbasin, and the soldiers can carry it on their backs at any time.

Ma Liang carried the large backpack dedicated to the infantry of the Xu Family Army, and after installing a tent, he could still hold many things.

It seems that you can put anything in it as long as you want,

Except, of course, spears and swords.

The snow had been falling for half a month, and the ground in the camp had been shoveled out of the road by the soldiers, and the thick snow had piled up on both sides of the road, pressing the corners of the tents, and the north wind could not blow it.

Ma Liang and the others came to the tent where the centurion concentrated on handling affairs, and first shouted a report according to the rules of the Xu Jiajun.

Wait until there's a response inside, and then walk in.

Lifting the thick curtain hanging in front of the tent, a hot air came from the surface.

There is a stove in the tent, made of iron, and it burns briquettes like honeycombs, and three briquettes burn slowly, which can burn for five or six hours, and with such a stove, the tent is warm all the time.

The briquettes were brought from a village in the southwest of Upper Valley County, and the vein expedition team was looking for iron and limestone mines, but unexpectedly discovered a semi-open-pit coal mine.

Because of the ease of mining, this is why the honeycomb coal used in the military camp is now used.

However, the cold in the Northland has just begun, and sitting in an office tent for a long time will make your hands and feet cold.

But compared to the conditions of the former frontier soldiers, it was simply a heaven and an earth.

Luxury, right? Ma Liang turned his head and raised his eyebrows at the brothers behind him, and everyone's eyes showed envy and yearning.

It's a pity, and I don't know when they will be able to become centurions and sit in this warm office tent.

Perhaps, after they have successfully graduated from the elementary literacy class?

Ma Liang rubbed his cold hands, endured his apprehension, and came to the long table of his centurion Zhao Wenming.

The ghost knows why he used to be a dignified lieutenant of the border army, why he became nervous when he saw a centurion of the Xu family.

Maybe, perhaps, is the other party more knowledgeable and educated than them?

"Zhao Wenming Centurion! Come and receive your reward! ”

Ma Liang stands tall, his hands falling naturally and clinging to the side line of his trousers.

Yang Wazi raised his head from the table, he had heard the unpleasant title of "Zhao Wenming Centurion" too many times, and now he was able to keep his heart unfluctuating.

"You may be seated." On the bench opposite, Yang Wazi flipped out the military merit book of Ma Liang and the others, and quickly opened a voucher for them.

Ma Liang had just attended a five-day literacy class, and the simplified Chinese characters of the Xu family's military were heavenly books in their eyes.

Several people looked at the sheep baby embarrassedly, and shook their heads with a smile, indicating that they couldn't understand it.

This reaction was completely expected by the sheep baby, so he read the contents of the voucher again:

"In this campaign, Ma Liang's performance was outstanding, and it was decided to promote you to centurion without exception, but only if you complete the primary literacy first."

"Also, in view of your excellent performance in this campaign, your military exploits have been set as second-class A, in addition to two acres of high-quality fields and three acres of medium-class rewards, you have also been issued with a set of military uniforms, two pairs of leather boots, a pair of leather gloves, and a steel knife."

“......”

As the sheep baby finished reading the things on the list, Ma Liang immediately felt the envious eyes of the brothers beside him.

"Any questions? If not, it's next. Yang Wazi said with a light smile, he was also sincerely happy for Ma Liang and the others.

After all, these are the officers and soldiers brought out by his subordinates, and he can also share the benefits of this honor.

Ma Liang got up, took the voucher, and the whole person floated out.

After changing into the newly received full set of officer uniforms, he immediately took advantage of the half-day reward holiday to go into the city to show off.

Several border soldiers who followed him also followed, and a group of people rode high-headed horses and entered the county seat of Juyong County majestically.

The current Juyong County is not the Juyong County of two months ago, and the roads inside and outside have been built wide and smooth.

When the cement at the cement plant is in place in the spring of the next year, the cement road will be laid immediately.

After the city gate, several people led the horse into the city on foot, and the main road in the city has been paved with a cement road, which leads directly from the city gate to the gate of the county government where the leader of the Xu family army is on an errand.

In the past, when Ma Liang and others entered the city, they basically couldn't see a few young girls on the street.

But today was a little different, as soon as they entered the city, they saw a group of former ladies with shoulder-length hair or fur hats, stepping forward and running towards the market with an excited face.

"What is this for? Is something wrong? ”

Ma Hao asked the mason who was repairing the leaky roof next to him, but his eyes followed the running girls, and he couldn't move away.

In fact, he is only twenty-three or four-year-old, but he has been beaten in the barracks for a long time and looks old.

Suddenly seeing so many young and beautiful, I couldn't see everyone in a swarm of ladies before, and it was strange to be able to keep my heart calm.

Not to mention him, the group of young men behind him were already so excited that their breath was short, but they didn't dare to get closer, they only dared to watch these beautiful things from afar.

When the mason saw what Ma Liang was wearing, he knew that he was Xu Jiajun, and the smile on his face instantly became kind, and he explained enthusiastically:

"There's a convenience store in the south of the city, and everything new in it is sold."

"No, I heard that a batch of ladies scarves were shipped from Yuyang, and the flowers were particularly beautiful, so they ran over to see them after class, for fear that they wouldn't be able to buy them when it was late."
