The northern border of Chengguan is indeed a bit of a statement.

Otherwise, why did these soldiers who stayed in the barracks, they obviously didn't get the delicious food brought by the villagers, and they still had red eyes when they stood in front of the painting.

Yes, they didn't eat.

In fact, long before the people arrived, the border guards had already received the news in advance.

The most annoying superintendent of their barracks hurriedly shouted to everyone, and only let the newly appointed soldiers and veterans with more than eight years of military experience go to the queue to greet the people to receive food.

He also ordered them not to go out until they went out, and pretended that there were not so many people in the barracks. lest the villagers not eat enough to distribute, they will feel uncomfortable.

After that, I didn't expect the villagers to come with the show, and the chief of the prison army urged them to hurry up and applaud the uncles and aunts.

It depends on the eyes of the prison guards, and they have to withdraw with a wave of their hands, and tell the people that they want to go to the town to catch the big gathering.

In fact, they were running from the fork in the road ahead and rounding back to the camp, and many of them were idle in the house either sleeping or washing clothes and sewing socks, which was really boring compared to the oil shed.

It's really, and it doesn't take into account their frustration at all.

No, some of them heard the villagers leave after painting, and while they were leaving, they asked around, "Who should I give the ladder back?" And what if these buckets are dyed, where do we go to scrub them. ”

The soldiers thought to themselves: fellow, in fact, there is no need to scrub, you don't know that we have the strength, never take the chores seriously, you have never seen General Fenwu train us like dogs on weekdays.

In short, a number of "idle people" soldiers listened to the voice of the villagers and drifted away, so they touched out.

Then more and more people slipped out to see the paintings.

If you can't get food, won't you let you see it?

Later, I don't know who was bold, first lit the torches, and then a few more people raised torches to illuminate the paintings, and then their eyes turned red.

Just look, this painting is an elderly uncle and aunt twisting Yangge, the painting is so expressive, the rows of faces full of ravines are smeared with a mess with a smile, and behind him is an ox cart that is unloading.

There were several cars with a sign written on them: "Dress warmly." ”

The soldiers knew that this time the people brought them a lot of foot and wrist guards with indigo. The scholars here in the Northland have gathered 5,000 pairs of gloves for them, which are about to be distributed to the veterans who guard the towers.

There were also several cars with the words "Food" written above the sacks. ”

bumpy sauerkraut all the way that has been frozen hard; Use layers of grass curtains to cover cabbage and radishes that are afraid of being frozen; Bundled in a cart in five sacks stacked together with dried wild vegetables.

I heard that as soon as the villagers arrived, the house in the gang's camp was full of vegetables.

And on the rear car with a banner pulled, a pile of fish on the board is depicted. It's really like relatives are here, because they don't pay attention to good looks, only bring big fish, and small fish cubs are not less.

An uncle also dragged the hand of the soldier of the battalion and instructed: "Don't look at the small fish, bring you a big sauce, the sauce is fragrant, don't forget to eat it when you turn around." ”

Above these fish trucks is written: "Be fed." ”

Finally, there are three people on the far left of the painting.

The soldiers knew that there was one of them, Xu Da Niang, the general convener of this time, who mobilized the three groups of farmers, literati, and businessmen to visit, and it was she who brought the duck meat that wafted around after it was boiled.

Listening to the chief of the prison army, in fact, the Xu family's best thing is not duck meat, but pot meat.

But because there was a duck seller with him this time...... His whole family started by selling ducks, and even the children named the uncle's family were called old ducks, young ducks, water ducks, and landlubbers, and the second uncle's family was called black ducks, white ducks, earth ducks, wild ducks, and flying ducks. Only the accompanying one was named Tian Qingwen by his grandfather. Because there were too many ducks in his house, his grandfather was afraid of the plague.

At that time, when the hundred commanders of the prison army heard what they heard to the soldiers, everyone laughed.

But I couldn't laugh anymore when I laughed.

Because this fellow Tian heard that he came to visit them, he would rather earn twelve taels less silver, and the annual money of their ordinary soldiers was sold to the aunt of the Xu family for thousands of ducks.

The purpose is to come to Chengguan to see, he has four cousins who were buried on the battlefield in the north when they were serving in the military.

Therefore, the convener of the Xu family made duck meat this time, and at this time, the painting was clenching his fist at them, smiling sincerely.

This is the image of Mrs. Xu in the eyes of the soldiers, and everyone is very satisfied.

But Mrs. Xu hasn't seen the painting yet, and if she does, she will definitely ask Gao Mantang: "I look like this?" "The big mouth was grinning, and the smile was so small that her granddaughter could do it.

Gao Mantang will explain, one, I don't dare to look at you carefully. Second, the time is pressing, to be honest, it is really not good to draw, you can only draw a rough picture, like the back of the twisted Yangge has no head, it all depends on the brains of the soldiers, and it also depends on the words.

And next to Mrs. Xu, it was Bai Muyan's Mr. Academy who was also giving his hand, wearing a robe.

The third one may be outside the money clerk, and because the painting may be too cold at the end, the appearance is more blurry. Fortunately, in order to tell everyone what kind of representative is drawn, Liu Jingdong wrote a money word in the middle of the hat.

When Gao Mantang saw it, it was too late to revise, so it was better to let him draw a copper coin.

In short, these people are all holding their fists, and the words are written next to them: After cutting the bud rice, I will come to see you.

After reading the painting, a young soldier suddenly had tears in his eyes, he must have been so homesick for the New Year, and he felt that he had lost face with tears.

He wiped his eyes with his sleeve and said, "It's snowing, and I'm blinded by the snow." You say, next time, you should be able to change us to dinner, right? ”

This sentence breaks the silent moment when everyone looks at the painting.

While looking at the paintings, the soldiers were stunned and praised the good ones painted by our fellow villagers, and sneered and said: "What do you want to do, you are a two-year-old soldier, and even the next time you can choke on your turn to eat." Unless the folks can come a few more times. ”

Unless the folks in our town and Beida can live a more and more prosperous life.

These words made the people who stayed behind even more unable to help but look at the long oil shed with envy:

"I heard that there are not only balls but also duck meat and duck soup, and as soon as the pot is removed and boiled, I smell it."

I don't believe you, you smell it.

Someone said sourly: "I also heard that although it was a shed built in a hurry, it was ordered from above to put enough charcoal pots inside." The villagers used it, they were frozen all the way, and they ate the meat and roasted it on the fire. ”

Come on, they'd better go back and continue to catch up on sleep, they can't stand the laughter on their faces.

I won't be able to sleep well tonight, because you see, and when those boys come back to the barracks, they will be full of mouths and show off.

The soldiers complained, and many of them couldn't help but look at the paintings as they returned to the barracks.

At the same time, the oilcloth shed really began to receive meat and steamed buns, these are people who have not been allocated rice balls, and some people are leading duck soup and freshly roasted steamed buns.

"It's so fragrant, our rice is compared to this, even if we make meat, it's like pig food."

In the old oil shed, it's a lively place right now.

The uncles and aunts who twisted Yangge were giving food in front of a mouthful of pots.

didn't care about the vegetable buns that were removed from the makeup, and reminded the soldier who received the meal with a smile: "Can you take off the clothes on your face?" I want to see what you look like. ”

"Auntie, I specified that I would not receive it again."

"No, I'm not afraid of that." Ah, but I'm also a little afraid: "I want to come back, I can recognize you at a glance!" ”

Cai Baozi's words that came out of his mouth with a smile made the kid in front of him stunned.

I thought: But ladies and gentlemen, the colorful paintings on your faces, amusing are amused, and when you come back, we don't recognize what you do.

also let the veterans who heard this conversation later, and the veterans who had just changed their guards took the initiative to take off their masks honestly, they were afraid of being told by the eldest mother.

Someone still had frost on his eyelashes, and he came when he heard that he was eligible to receive food.

One by one, they took the initiative:

"Auntie, my name is Wang Shugen."

"Alright, alright, made a note of it."

"My name is Lian Dazhuang."

"It's a good name, it's the same as your strong body, write it down."

Dozens of mothers-in-law cooked together, especially the mothers-in-law in Erdaohe were very experienced and had sweet mouths.

A soldier behind him was answering Liu Laozhu: "Yes, it's drizzling." ”

In front, Sun Lizheng's second aunt waved her hand and beckoned: "Come, take a walk forward, and you can see it clearly when you are close." It's your turn, Lord Maoxue. ”

"Auntie, I'm not called Mao Maoxue."

Second Aunt Sun fished out a piece of steaming braised duck meat, and at the same time, the kitchen knife was stuffed into the cake like minced meat, handed it over and asked with a smile: "What's that called, I shouldn't have heard the stubble, can it still be drizzle?" ”

The second aunt wrinkled his eyebrows next to him and said: "People don't have the surname Mao, you mother-in-law is deaf!" ”

This conversation made half of the people in the oil shed can't help but laugh.

And because of the name, there is another person who makes the secret guards hidden in the ordinary soldiers very worried.

Let's talk about why there are secret guards, this is what Jia Lai has been inserted since he took over the Zhenbei army, and he has many considerations, mainly to prevent people from the imperial court.

There are secret guards in this, who were quietly called to the secret guard camp hidden in the deep mountains, and showed Xu Tianxin the gate.

He also cooperated with Xu Tianxin to detonate nitroglycerin, and listened to Xu Tianxin's command of them.

The secret guard still does not forget that everyone had to listen to Xu Tianxin's instructions at the beginning.

The cannon is buried at position A.

No. B is finished.

At that time, he kept waving the flag to Xu Tianxin at the bottom of the mountain, and he wanted to pass it all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and then the current Fenwu general Lu Yan personally gave the flag.

But before the flag, you must also listen to the commander-in-chief Xu Tianxin say: "Flying Eagle received." ”

Flying Eagle is the code name of the commander-in-chief Xu Tianxin, and General Lu can play the received banner, let them evacuate quickly, and change the secret guard of the detonation group to play.

At that time, in order to test which ratio was more stable and the strike area was wider, ten groups together, and they had to wait for the command of the commander-in-chief Xu Tianxin: "Detonate." ”

Therefore, this person couldn't help but glance in the direction of Xu Tianxin's side at this time.

Right now, Xu Tianxin is sitting on a stick behind the pot, at least in the eyes of the other party, it is a stick.

But he wasn't curious about whether he didn't panic like that. Because at the age of thirteen, she dared to blow up the girl who was secretly guarding their granary, so let's not ask about such an arrogant person.

That's not the average person.

And in this world, there is a kind of arrogant person who has a lifetime, and the objects that others can't figure out for ten or eight years, people will be stunned.

For example, in the last dynasty, there was a boy who was only eight years old, and he could make a cannon to install chili noodles at a fixed point, it was not spicy, but it was so powerful that it could choke people and couldn't open their eyes. Where to put that shot, people can't see clearly.

Later, as he grew up and became more powerful, the twelve-year-old prodigy could still fire a cannon with one hand, and he could fire a gun without a gun mount.

It's just that he was evaluated by the emperor at the time as a strange skill, and he felt that he would be even more amazing when he grew up, and it was also the prodigy's family who didn't care to cause trouble outside, so he found a reason to cut off his head and was blind.

Therefore, even when their master mentioned this person, he said that if he was still alive, this dynasty might not be able to replace him so smoothly. If he is still alive and develops some more weapons, this dynasty will be inexhaustible.

I have to admit that their masters still have some Mohist thoughts, and they value military craftsmen very much, and they are not so Confucian compared to others.

This is all far away, so the secret guard pondered in his heart:

What does it mean for you to blow the suona one by one? Is that just blowing suona?

That is the mother of the shells of our Zhenbei Army's new weapons, and the heavy weapon of the Zhenbei Army.

It is another female general of the Zhenbei Army who is strictly ordered by the general to be secretly protected, but she does not lead troops, she plays with artillery.

I am very afraid that one day the court will get a secret report from somewhere, and will go to assassinate or secretly take away people.

Do you think she only knows General Jallai? I also dare to let people cook.

This person was pondering, Xu Tianxin pretended to glance at him casually across the crowd, and answered with a smile the person in front of her who asked her what these guys were.

The Xu family has a set of "matryoshka dolls" with pots and pans, which can hold 450,000 yuan in large sets, 20 plates, and six wooden spoons for rice.

The soldiers asked Xu Tianxin: "Why do you have this?" ”

Xu Tianxin thought to himself: The modern Shandong Museum has been there since the Warring States Period, but it is made of copper and can hold hundreds of them, and her house is wooden.

So it's not just your Zhenbei Army that has this, maybe you are also a scholar during the Warring States Period.

You can't answer that.

The girl who can blow the suona replied lightly:

"At first, it was for my uncle to go out to deliver food, and he had to cook and carry it on the way. But they are too bothersome to bring. Later, I made such a big one, because my family opened a shop, and the cupboard could no longer fit, so my second uncle made this. ”

This time, the "stick" went under Mrs. Xu's ass again, because a kid said: "Auntie, you are tired, sit on the stool." Mrs. Xu said, "Give them to them, I have them." ”

So Xu Tianxin continued to reply that this is not a stick, this is a crutch. And the position where you hold the crutches can be broken, it is iron, but you can't see the indigo grass sewn now, so that you don't sit on it and get cold.

"Won't you be able to sit down if you break it open? I'm still tipped with iron under my house. ”

Anyway, there is no concrete floor here, it is land in spring, summer and autumn, and ice and snow in winter. And the iron tip can also be a glacier, and it can be thrown as a weapon in the car, and after a while, she and her milk will take it with her, and as she goes, she is tired and distressed about the cow, so she will rest in the ground.

This is not Xu Tianxin's idea, this is the last emperor's famous crutch seat, and later many people bought it to squeeze the subway to sit. It's just that the modern bottom is flat, and the modern road is plated with oil, which is better than bringing a small stool.

While everyone was talking lively, there was a sudden and uniform pace outside.

Two rows of soldiers walked in with plates of beef dumplings, and put them on the table and took a step back, which was the best hospitality they could give to the villagers.

The villagers were stunned.

At the end of the line, Jia Lai also walked in wearing a black tassel and an official uniform.

"Stand!" Some soldiers didn't care about throwing away the meat sandwich buns, so they immediately stood up and took them off in a panic.

"Stand and sit."

After Jia Lai waved his hand to the soldiers first, he looked at one person with a smile: "Tian Xin'er." ”
