Chapter 131: Lusang's Past

Really, just like that?

What should I do when I go to the battlefield?

Is it to stand with other brothers and line up to fight the barbarians?

Or like a wild beast, desperately throwing himself into the group of barbarians, killing him as if he were dead?

I've only been here for half a month, and I've been chopping wood, and I haven't learned anything!

I don't know anything about battle formations, military orders, or anything. Even the weapons that every soldier must have, Xiao Yunhe only learned the spear, and he was still in the preliminary stage, and he was eaten to death by Shan Yan, and he didn't even have the strength to fight back.

Such a self is useless, just like that, how can you go to the battlefield?

The more Xiao Yunhe thought about it, the more panicked he became, and the more he thought about it, the more bottomless he became.

Looking down at the messy hair scattered on the ground, Xiao Yunhe couldn't help but open his mouth.

"Brother Lu, I'm ...... I haven't learned anything...... I...... I'm afraid ......"

Although he knew that he was very spineless and not enough to do this, Xiao Yunhe still couldn't suppress the fear in his heart.

It's not fear, it's a kind of confusion and overwhelm for the unknown.

"Brother Yunhe, don't be afraid! What is there to learn? You know that you can cut people with a knife! When you go to the battlefield, you treat those barbarians as ...... You just cut so much wood every day, when the time comes, you can treat them as the wood you have chopped and cut them in half one by one! But you don't have to pick them up, just let the wild wolves and vultures gnaw them!" Xie Datou shouted on the side, making Xiao Yunhe only smile bitterly.

"Brother Yunhe, it's the first time you go to the battlefield, and you should be a little scared. When the time comes, you follow me and watch me do it, and you learn. The first time, don't be too embarrassed yourself, experience it once, and get used to it next time. Da Niu's broad palm slapped on Xiao Yunhe's shoulder, he didn't expect this stout and honest man to have such a caring side.

"Yunhe, you don't have to worry, don't listen to the big heads, this time our mission is not to kill the enemy head-on, and we won't see too much blood. You'll be with me when the time comes, and you won't have to do anything along the way, you just follow us. Don't have too much pressure the first time, and after experiencing more, you will gradually get used to it. Lusan said on the side.

"Brother Lu, can't you fight for us, change the task, and let us also go to the frontal battlefield to have a good time?

"Yes......" Lusan actually nodded.

"Really?" Xie Datou wasn't the only one who asked this.

"Of course you can, as long as you can say that General Shan changes his mind, I personally obey unconditionally!" Shan Yan said slowly.

"Well, doesn't that mean he didn't say it? Who can say that he is moved!" sighed.

"Okay, okay, let me go back to sleep! I have to get up early tomorrow, I don't know how far I have to go, you guys, if you dare to shout at me when the time comes, see that I don't break your dog's legs!" Lu San glared and said to Xie Datou and the others.

This sentence really had an effect, and Xie Datou and the others, who were still smiling at the hippie before, immediately walked back to their beds and obediently undressed and went to sleep.

"Yunhe, you come out with me first. Lu San looked at Xiao Yunhe touching his newly shaved bald head and said softly.

Xiao Yunhe nodded in agreement and followed him out of the barracks.

At this time, there are still many barracks that are lit up, and obviously, tomorrow's big battle will make many people unable to sleep.

The full moon in the night sky was shining brightly, and the soft moonlight slanted down, reflecting the long shadows of Lu Sang and Xiao Yunhe.

"Yunhe, you and General Shan, are old acquaintances, right?" The two of them walked forward for a while, one after the other, and Lu San suddenly stopped and asked.

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned for a moment, but didn't react.

"I've always felt that you are different, different from those of us who come from the Zhuang family, and you should have a good background. But I never thought that you actually knew our General Shan. Lu San turned his head, looked at Xiao Yunhe, who was stunned, and said slowly.

"Brother Lu, no! I ...... I actually ......"

"You don't have to hide it anymore, you don't see anyone every night, and you only come back sweating at this time, if General Shan didn't greet you, do you think you can come and go so freely?" said Lussan.

"I ...... I actually ......" Xiao Yunhe didn't know how much Shan Yi said, he didn't want to hide it from Lu Sang, he felt a little guilty in his heart, so he wanted to explain immediately.

"You don't have to worry, I don't really blame you, really. On the contrary, I still admire you. I have rarely seen a young man as good as you. Lu San waved his hand at Xiao Yunhe and took two steps closer to him.

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned, what does this mean?

"I have such a good background, but I don't want to sit back and enjoy it, but I went to our deserted northern Xinjiang, ate and lived with us, the big-headed soldiers, lived the hardest life, and tomorrow I will go to the cruel battlefield and face so many dangers. To be honest, I really admire you. There are really few people in this world who can have the courage to do what you are now. Lu Sang patted Xiao Yunhe's shoulder, his eyes full of approval.

"Brother Lu, General Shan, he ...... What did they tell you?" Xiao Yunhe suddenly felt a little wrong, and asked tentatively.

"It's all at this time, you still want to hide it from me?" Lu San glared at Xiao Yunhe, "General Shan told me everything, what's wrong with you being his cousin? In my Lu Sang's eyes, you are one of my soldiers! Do you think that if I know your identity, I will treat you with special treatment?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was stunned again.

"I know that you have a high spirit, and I don't want to rely on this relationship in exchange for preferential treatment, but don't worry, I don't know how to deal with others, but in my Lusang's team, there are only soldiers, and there are no generals' cousins! In the future, you will still be the same as before, I will train you like others, and if you make mistakes, I will punish you mercilessly!" Lu San looked at Xiao Yunhe, and almost patted his chest and promised.

Xiao Yunhe was a little dumbfounded, and at the same time there was some crying, laughing and helplessness in his heart.

This single man, he really dares to talk about anything!

When did I become his cousin? I just met you, okay? With a ruffian cousin like you, what have I become?

I don't know what Shan Zhen is thinking, but since Shan Zhen has already told this lie, Xiao Yunhe can't expose it anymore, so he can only misunderstand the mistake.

After all, his true identity is invisible, and it is very troublesome to explain, and even if he says it, Lusan may not necessarily believe it.

It's the general's cousin that Shan Zhen said is more reasonable.

It has to be said that many times, lies are often more like truth than the truth.

"Brother Lu...... I'm sorry...... I didn't trust you at first...... Actually, I wanted to say it a long time ago...... It's just ......" Xiao Yunhe's expression is also in place.

"You don't have to explain, I understand. In fact, you can do what you are doing now, I already admire you very much!" patted Xiao Yunhe's shoulder again, and Lu Sang asked again, "I'm going to go to the battlefield tomorrow, it must be difficult to calm down in my heart, right?"

"Hmm!" Xiao Yunhe nodded and said, "As soon as I heard that I was going to battle, I felt a little panicked. I've been looking forward to this day for a long time, but when it comes to this, I'm a little ...... A little overwhelmed!"

"Yunhe, have you ever killed anyone?" asked Lussan.

"I've killed, I've killed several on the way here, and they're all barbarians. Xiao Yunhe replied.

"That's fine, if you haven't killed anyone, it's a bit of a problem. Lusan nodded, "It's good to see blood, although we are not the main force, but once we are on the battlefield, we can't avoid facing life and death." Kill the barbarians, and it is possible to be killed by the barbarians. If you haven't killed anyone before, and when you really see the enemy, if you are weak for a while, the person who dies will be yourself. ”

"I'm not afraid of killing, I hate those inhuman barbarians, and I won't hesitate to kill them. I just think ......" Xiao Yunhe really wanted to talk about the confusion in his heart, and after considering the words, he said slowly, "...... I just thought, I can't do anything, I really go to war, what should I do? How do I do it? I like...... I don't have a clue, I don't know what to do!"

"I understand, you're on the battlefield for the first time, and you're a little overwhelmed, and you should be. Lu Sang patted Xiao Yunhe's back comfortingly and said to him, "Indeed, this battle came a little hastily, you guess it's been less than a month since you arrived, and you're about to go to battle." Under normal circumstances, recruits need to go through more than a year of training before they can be sent into battle. You've only been with us for less than a month, and at this time, you haven't gone through much combat training, and you're about to be sent to the battlefield, which is really a bit difficult for you!"

"Brother Lu, I'm not afraid of going to the battlefield, I just don't know what I should do! You must not pull me down, I must go with you tomorrow!" Xiao Yunhe looked at Lu Sang with bright eyes and argued strongly.

"Look at your anxious look, if I don't let you go to the battlefield, are you going to spray my saliva?" Looking at Xiao Yunhe's anxious look, Lu San smiled instead.

"Brother Lu, I'm serious! I really want to go to the battlefield!" Xiao Yunhe accentuated his tone.

"I understand what you mean! Don't worry, tomorrow, I will definitely let you go with us!" Lu Sanhaha laughed and smashed his fist on Xiao Yunhe's arm.

Xiao Yunhe was relieved.

"I can understand your current mood, back then, when I first went to the battlefield, I was like you now, I didn't sleep all night at that time! The next day, I went to the battlefield with two black circles under my eyes! As a result, when I met the first barbarian, before I could cut it, he was so frightened that he sat on the ground! I killed him with a knife, and he shouted "monster monster" vigorously. Later, I found out that he thought I was doing some kind of magic with those two dark circles under my eyes!" said Lusan with a smile.

Xiao Yunhe also laughed, and this smile made the panic in his heart much less.

He knew that most of what Lusan said was just a joke and not the real situation. But he also understood what Lusan meant, there is nothing to be afraid of war, just keep a normal heart.

The truth is very simple, but it also needs to be understood.

"The first time is always like this, fight a few more battles, kill a few more people, and slowly, you will become numb, and these messy thoughts will no longer exist. Lusan began to walk forward again, and in the moonlight, his figure was a little lonely.

"Brother Lu, how old were you when you first went to the battlefield?" Xiao Yunhe asked in the back.

"Why, just found out your identity, and now start asking me about my details?" Lusan asked, turning around and smiling.

"I ...... I didn't mean that......" Xiao Yunhe hurriedly clarified.

"Alright, I'm just kidding!" Lusan shook his head, took two steps back, and said slowly, "It's been a few years since I said it for the first time. Should...... Should be...... I don't remember exactly, but I think it was seventeen or eighteen, a little older than you are......"

"Why did Brother Lu join the army?" Xiao Yunhe asked again.

Lu San was now in his thirties, and according to his words, he had been in the barracks for more than ten years, which was earlier than the time when the Left Guards had been stationed in northern Xinjiang.

Being a soldier is not a good thing, a good man is not a soldier, a good iron is not a nail, a soldier not only has to face the threat of death at all times, but also the treatment is not very generous, under normal circumstances, as long as the family is not really able to open the pot or raise too many men, few people go back to join the army.

And Lusan should not belong to this.

Like Xiao Yunhe, that's the exception of the exception.

"The family is still passable, who wants to be this thankless soldier! It's hard and tiring, and I don't know when I'm gone, when I'm your age now, I don't have as much courage as you, and I never thought of being a soldier. At that time, my wish was to plant the few acres of land at home, open two more shops, make a little more money, and marry a beautiful and virtuous daughter-in-law. This ideal is very unproductive, isn't it?" Lusan asked with a smile.

"No, ordinary is happiness, and if I have the opportunity, I would like to live such a life. Xiao Yunhe shook his head.

Such an ordinary life is not a kind of beauty. But the current Xiao Yunhe is destined to be extraordinary.

"At that time, I was living like this, because the people around me have come from generation to generation, and it has always been like this, how lofty can I come up with? I thought that I would be like my father, just like my father, to live this life in an ordinary way, and then watch my sons and grandchildren repeat my life like this. But I didn't expect that in my generation, the ordinary would be ended. At this, Lussan's voice dimmed.

"Brother Lu is not from Northern Xinjiang, right?" asked Xiao Yunhe.

"That's right, do you hear that? Of the sixteen counties in Northern Xinjiang, there were only six counties back then, and my home was not here, but in Shangyao, which was more than 600 miles away from here. If it weren't for the purpose of marrying my new wife, I would never have set foot in northern Xinjiang for the rest of my life. At that time, the general had not yet come here, and the Left Guard was still dormant in the capital, which was a place where barbarians were raging. Now that I think about it, I really can't remember how that matchmaker pulled the red line so far......" Lusan smiled sadly, his smile full of bitterness.

Xiao Yunhe understood that he had touched Lu Sang's sore spot, and he regretted it a little, but he didn't know how to redeem it, so he could only remain silent.

Xiao Yunhe was silent, and it took a long time before Lu Sang began to continue.

"At that time, I hadn't seen what my fiancée looked like, but I had just heard from the matchmaker about how good-looking she was. All the way to my wedding, I kept thinking about what my daughter-in-law looked like. As a result, after thinking all the way, the daughter-in-law didn't see it, but she saw the damn barbarians!" At the end of the words, Xiao Yunhe heard the sound of teeth rubbing.

"And then, the barbarians......"

"No, no, not what you think. The only thing I encountered that time was the barbarian stragglers, and they did not dare to attack us, but I had heard a lot of stories about the barbarians killing people, and when I saw them coming, I took the initiative to offer the wealth that I had prepared a long time ago. Businessmen always want to settle things with money. And the barbarians took the money and left. ”

"After sending off those barbarians, we didn't dare to delay any longer, so we hurried all the way to my father-in-law's house and picked up my wife. Then we rushed all the way, I don't know if spending money to buy peace really worked, along the way there was not a single barbarian, and we returned home safely. At this, Lusan fell silent again.

After a long pause, Lusan began to continue his story.

"We went home safely, but the home I saw was no longer home. There was blood everywhere in the house, and our whole family, my parents, the second and third uncles who rushed home to attend my wedding, and all my relatives died in my home. As soon as I walked in, Hassan ran out. Then I kept kneeling at the door, spitting and vomiting for a long, long time, until I finally vomited blood before I was dragged away. ”

"I escaped the barbarians, but my family, but not from me. The barbarians crossed the northern frontier and slaughtered all the way to my hometown. I married my wife back, but my parents, my relatives, they were waiting for this day, but ...... But he couldn't see it anymore......" Lusan turned, his voice choking.

"After that, I knew that the barbarians were my enemies for life. Those ordinary wishes can no longer be realized. There happened to be a conscription, so I followed here. And then, until now. Lusan let out a long exhale, and when he had finished, he walked towards his tent.

"It's late at night, you can go and rest too! Tomorrow, it won't be easy!"

Lu Sang's figure was far away, but his voice was still echoing in Xiao Yunhe's ears.
