Chapter 122: The Difference Between Before and After

Lu Sang's chopping of wood was clean and neat, and he looked much smoother than Xiao Yunhe, and he was obviously not a beginner.

But Xiao Yunhe didn't know what Lu Sang's intention was in doing this, it seemed that he wanted to teach himself a lesson about his negative sabotage, but he didn't say or scold, and he was addicted to it alone.

Chopping off more than twenty pieces of wood in a row, Lusan finally stopped.

Putting the firewood knife on the ground, Lu San stood up and looked at Xiao Yunhe.

"Do you think this kind of work is boring?"

Xiao Yunhe knew that the other party was dissatisfied, and the best response was to keep quiet and let the other party train, but out of a sense of cordiality, he still told the truth: "I don't think so, I am very capable of hardship! But this kind of work can be done by three-year-old children, since we are soldiers who defend the country and the country, we should do something worthwhile." Work like this, I ......"

"Do you think this kind of work is worthless?" asked Lusan rhetorically.

Xiao Yunhe stopped talking again.

"Since you think so, don't do it yet. Come with me, I'll take you somewhere. Lu Sang looked at Xiao Yunhe with his head down, still with a somewhat unconvinced expression, and said suddenly.

With that, he walked ahead with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Yunhe hesitated, although he knew that there would be no good things going here, but he still followed Lu Sang.

The barracks of the logistics battalion cover a large area, and Xiao Yunhe has been here for a few days, but he has not been to too many places. Fortunately, the place where Lu Sang was going to take him was not a secret place, and not long after walking, Lu Sang stopped and turned his head to look at Xiao Yunhe.

Xiao Yunhe walked to Lu Sang's side and saw more soldiers.

Here, in this open space, there are at least a thousand soldiers.

What shocked Xiao Yunhe was that none of these soldiers were practicing the stunt of killing the enemy as he imagined, but without exception, they were all repeating the part of their previous work that was passive and slacking off.

In front of each soldier was a high layer of wood. And behind him, another pile of split firewood.

Everyone is like this, thousands of soldiers are repeating this work, judging from the fruits of their labor, it is obvious that they are working much harder than Xiao Yunhe.

"They've been doing this here for more than half a month. Lu Sang looked at Xiao Yunhe's slightly surprised expression and said lightly.

"More than half a month?have you been doing this?" Xiao Yunhe still couldn't believe it, especially what made him unbelievable was that there were so many soldiers, and none of them had a passive slack of work.

This is obviously not caused by Lu San and Xiao Yunhe, the two of them do not have that much weight.

This is a real scene, but it is also a scene that Xiao Yunhe can't believe.

"Chopping wood, you say it's worthless. Then I would like to ask you, what do you think is valuable?" asked Lussan.

Xiao Yunhe wanted to be silent at first, but in the end he couldn't help but vomit: "I don't mean to look down on chopping wood, I used to do this at home! I just feel that since we are soldiers, we should do some things that soldiers should do! Soldiers belong to the battlefield, and it is the right thing to practice hard to kill the enemy to protect the family and defend the country! We actually have to do this kind of work every day, do we still have to compete with the enemy on the battlefield to chop wood?"

"Do you think war is just about killing?" asked Lusan instead of retorting.

"Isn't it?" Xiao Yunhe was very unconvinced.

Lusan shook his head: "You couldn't be more wrong. ”

After speaking, without waiting for Xiao Yunhe to refute, Lu San raised his steps again.

"You come with me to another place. ”

This time, the journey was a little longer than the last one, and Xiao Yunhe followed behind and roughly estimated that at least he had walked out for more than two miles, and half of the barracks had walked over.

Lusan was still walking in front, and in front of him was a gray-black barracks, somewhat dirty.

It seems that if nothing else, the place where Lu San wants to take Xiao Yunhe is here.

Xiao Yunhe stood in place and twitched his nose, and he was actually a little flustered.

Lu Sang found that Xiao Yunhe did not follow, turned around and walked back.

"What's wrong?"

"This is a place to make a fire and cook, right?" Xiao Yunhe snorted, smelled the air, and asked.

"That's right. Lusan nodded.

"Brother Lu, what are you bringing me here for, it's still early to leave the meal, right?" Xiao Yunhe said strangely, although he spent his days there chopping wood, he didn't forget the hour.

I had breakfast for more than an hour, and it was still early for lunch.

In the barracks, it is no better than one's own home, and no one wants to eat first until they have a meal.

"I'm not here to take you to dinner, I want you to see what the worthless work you just talked about, what is its value. Lusan shook his head and said.

"Huh?" Xiao Yunhe was embarrassed, but then he waved his hand again, "Then you don't need to go in, I understand what Brother Lu meant! I don't think it's useless to chop firewood, I just think that we need to distinguish between priorities and priorities and grasp the key points! Of course, firewood can be chopped, but there is no need to make such a big move, right? There are so many of us, even if we make a fire to cook, how much firewood can we use? Thousands of people, I think that one or two days of chopping is enough for us to use for a month! What we need to do most is to practice our skills and fulfill our duties! ”

"What is our duty?" said Lussan, asking rhetorically, "what is our duty?"

"Of course, it's to surround the border and kill all the barbarians who are inferior to beasts!" Xiao Yunhe said through gritted teeth, the scene he saw when he came still had a great stimulation to him.

"What is the name of our barracks?" asked Lussan.

"Logistics battalion ......" Xiao Yunhe's voice was much quieter, and his mood was a little depressed.

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand...... Xiao Yunhe's expression became more and more depressed, he thought he had understood Lu Sang's hidden meaning.

The logistics battalion is the one who does logistics. You are a soldier of a logistics battalion, and you still trust it for a few days, and you actually want to shout to go into battle to kill the enemy, is that something you should worry about? Honestly chopping your firewood, it is worthless? This is your only value!

Lusan shook his head again: "No, you don't understand. ”

"We are indeed a logistics battalion now, and we are also doing logistics work. However, in a little more than a month, this will not be the case. ”

"Isn't that so? What is that?" Xiao Yunhe became interested, and he could tell that there seemed to be a lot of articles in it.

"Do you know what it's doing in that barracks up ahead?" asked Lussan.

"Of course I know, it's the barracks of the Left Guard!" Xiao Yunhe said with some regret, if it weren't for Yu Wenxuan's insistence on arranging him here, he would probably have started that ideal military career long ago.

"That's what outsiders call it, but our insiders call it the front camp, and we call ourselves the back camp. Do you know why?" asked Lussan.

Xiao Yunhe shook his head, of course he wouldn't say that it was because one was in front and the other was behind, if it were so simple, Lu San wouldn't have deliberately asked himself in this tone.

"The front battalion, as well as our rear battalion, actually belong to the Left Guard. The difference is that every two months, the front and rear battalions have to be replaced. One was stationed in front, and that was the nominal Left Guard. The other, stationed in the back, did logistics, and in the eyes of outsiders, did not belong to the Left Guard. Now, it's been exactly half a month since the last switch. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Yunhe didn't expect this to happen, his eyes rolled, and he said with some surprise, "So, in the first half of a month, we will be the Left Guards?"

"We are, it's you, who thinks too narrowly about the Left Guards. I sue you for this, not to give you more hope. A complete army is not just about killing people. Killing the enemy in the front and logistical supply in the rear are equally important. If everyone only thinks about killing the enemy, then when they stop, who will cook? Who will set up camp? You don't think that the battle is just a decisive victory, right?" Lu San finally began to educate Xiao Yunhe.

"I didn't mean that, I just thought ......" Xiao Yunhe's voice retorted much weaker.

"I understand how you feel now, you have just entered the barracks, your mind is full of some unrealistic fantasies, and you will always feel a little lost when you see the reality that is not as good as you want. I can understand that back then, I also came here. But you have to understand that war is not a thing that you have imagined in your head, it is a reality, a thing that is far more complicated and cruel than you think. It's not a fun thing, and if you're not careful, your life will be lost. If you want to survive and be a good soldier, you have to learn a little more. The impetuousness of young people is unacceptable. ”

Xiao Yunhe bowed his head completely, although he was still faintly dissatisfied in his heart, but now he had nothing to say.

"Well, I won't say anything superfluous, you're a very good boy, I think, you'll be a good soldier. Now, you go back first. Seeing that Xiao Yunhe's attitude of admitting his mistake seemed to be good, Lu San was somewhat relieved to let him go.

Xiao Yunhe nodded hurriedly and left quickly.

Looking at Xiao Yunhe's almost runaway-like figure, Lu San shook his head, smiled bitterly, and turned to leave.

Returning to the original place, Xiao Yunhe picked up his firewood knife again, grabbed the wood in front of him, and continued to fight on the "great cause of chopping firewood".

Although Lu Sang's words did not completely convince Xiao Yunhe, now Xiao Yunhe is finally no longer passive and slacking off. The movements of his hands were fast, but Xiao Yunhe was thinking about something else in his mind.

Lu Sang's few words did not completely change Xiao Yunhe's concept, and he did not come up with the lofty ideal of "the most glorious labor" so quickly, he was still a hot-blooded young man, and it was not so easy to change.

What she was thinking about now was the last thing Lusan mentioned about the exchange of front and rear battalions.

Thinking that in more than a month, he would be able to become a member of the Left Guard Army in a dignified manner, Xiao Yunhe's heart was a little more expectant, and he was also a little more motivated when he started.

But another question began to linger in Xiao Yunhe's mind again.

That is, why did the good Left Guards insist on splitting in half and swapping back and forth?

Xiao Yunhe had not been in contact with military affairs before, but based on common sense alone, he also felt that this matter was very strange.

Logistics must be guaranteed, this is true, Xiao Yunhe has also heard of the truth that soldiers and horses go first before moving grain and grass. But there's no need to split half of the people to do it, right?

What's more, this logistical force does not nominally belong to the Left Guards, and under normal conditions, only half of the real strength of the Left Guards can go to the battlefield to fight.

Why is that?

What is the purpose of killing the enemy with a knife for two months, and chopping wood with a firewood knife for two months? Could it be that when you are tired of killing people, you should change to a firewood knife to cultivate your self-cultivation?

Xiao Yunhe smiled, if this was really the case, then the Left Guard would become a joke.

In the past ten days with Yu Wenxuan, he can't see that the other party will become a joke.

So why is that?

What Lu San said was very reasonable, but Xiao Yunhe was not so easy to be fooled, he didn't think that this matter was that simple.

But Xiao Yunhe still has no way to solve his doubts, he has never known what military is in his previous ten years of life. Now that he has only been here for two days and slept for a day, he is completely a little white, even if he has a little bit of intelligence, he can't make a reasonable explanation for this strange fact.

"Hey, little crane, why are you stunned?" Xiao Yunhe was meditating with a sad face, when a huge skull suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and someone asked at the same time.

Xiao Yunhe was startled, woke up from his contemplation, and his whole body trembled.

But he forgot about it, and his original wood-chopping action continued.

The firewood knife in his hand fell from in front of him, and his position was slightly offset, and as a result, this knife did not cut the wood underneath in two, but cut it into Xiao Yunhe's hand that stabilized the wood below.

"Be careful!" the reminder was a little late.

Xiao Yunhe cried out with an "ah", implying pain.

"You stupid boy, don't you want to die?" a person appeared, threw away the firewood knife in Xiao Yunhe's hand, and picked up his severed hand to look left and right, very nervous.

"It's okay, it's okay, it won't hurt after a while. A knife slashed at his own hand, but Xiao Yunhe didn't care much, and wanted to escape from the other party's hand as soon as he shrunk.

"Do you think your hand is wood? This time, you are lucky not to cut it right, and again, your hand is gone!" A huge head appeared in front of Xiao Yunhe, and in his hand, he was still holding Xiao Yunhe's hand and looked left and right.

"Huh, why don't you have any scars on your hands?" After a long look at it, the big head screamed strangely.

"I said it's okay, I'll just pay attention next time!Big brother, why do you have time to come to me?" Xiao Yunhe didn't want to talk too much about his secrets with others, so he opened his mouth to divert the topic.

This big head was also just met yesterday, a big head is very conspicuous, which has become his nickname, and when he opened his mouth, he asked Xiao Yunhe to call him "Big Head Brother", and others called him Xie Datou, but everyone remembered his real name.

"It's really strange, last time, that Wu Xiaoliu lost his two fingers with a knife, and he fainted at that time! You kid is good, not only did he not see blood, but he couldn't even find a little bruise! Say! Is there any exclusive secret recipe?" Xie Datou's small eyes sparkled, and he came to Xiao Yunhe's eyes and asked with a wink.

Xiao Yunhe couldn't laugh or cry: "How can there be so many exclusive secret recipes? I'm just a little lucky, and if I do it again, I'm afraid that this whole hand will be cut off!"

"Cut! Do you think I'm Xie Datou so easy to fool? Just now I can see clearly, the knife is cut on the first joint of your index finger and middle finger, I Xie Datou can't do anything else, this eyeball is not blind! Now you kid can't even find a red mark on his hand, and he still says that there is no exclusive secret recipe? We are good brothers, and if we have good things, do we hide them from my eldest brother? I heard that there is a long-lost prescription in the rivers and lakes, and after ordinary people take it, their whole body is as solid as a stone and invulnerable within three days. Tell me quickly, are you a prescription for Yongle Hui? Now just the two of us, you quietly sue me and I will do it, I Xie Datou will use my big head as a guarantee, and the guarantee department will talk to outsiders!" Xie Datou became more and more excited the more he spoke, and in the end, he didn't care about Xiao Yunhe's wry smile on his face, and directly put his ear to Xiao Yunhe's ear, just waiting for him to say.

"Big brother, your imagination is too rich, isn't it? How can there be such a powerful thing, if there is, it can't appear in the hands of a poor boy of mine?" Xiao Yunhe really didn't know how to explain himself, he could only sigh in his heart, these "big brothers" that have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain are more difficult to serve than the other!

"Then what's going on?" Xie Datou pointed to Xiao Yunhe's intact finger and asked, his face full of suspicion, "I saw it with my own eyes just now, and the knife was cut on it!"

"Well...... "Xiao Yunhe was in trouble.

He was unharmed because he had the Regency Technique to refine his body, but the secret of the Regency Technique was related to Xiao Yunhe's biggest secret, and he must not tell anyone else. Although this Xie Datou is very sincere, he can feel that he has no malicious intentions, but after all, he has just met, and Xiao Yunhe can't believe him so easily.

But how can we explain this irrational phenomenon without telling the truth?

People always come up with solutions, and Xiao Yunhe found that his ability to lie is getting stronger and stronger.

With a roll of his eyes, Xiao Yunhe immediately thought of a rhetoric.

"Okay! Since it was the eldest brother who asked, the younger brother reluctantly made an exception and told you this secret!" Xiao Yunhe deliberately made a very embarrassed and then decisive expression, and sighed several times in a row.

"Sure enough, there is a secret! Say it quickly, the big head is the proof, if I tell the secret of the Yunhe brothers, I will make my head a dwarf winter melon!" Xie Datou's eyes glowed again, close to Xiao Yunhe's mouth, and at the same time swore a curse.
