Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In the early morning of winter, the wind rises.
The strong wind blew into the winged pass, and for some reason there was a somewhat poignant sound.
The old border army has long been accustomed to this kind of voice, and it is rumored that this voice is because the border army who died in the war is confiding in their relatives from afar, and some people say that this is the great wilderness people who died in front of the Yiyi Pass, and the soul is not dispersed, which is a curse to die.
But Zhang Xiaodao knew that this was only because although the name of Yiguan was Guan, it was a majestic city. There are too many narrow military lanes in this majestic city, and strong winds pour into them to create friction, and this kind of sound will appear.
And today's wind is obviously not strong enough, otherwise Zhang Xiaodao feels that the number of thousands of military roads will be closed with his wings, and he is afraid that there will be a huge wave of thousands of ghosts and one after another.
After thinking about this somewhat boring question, Zhang Xiaodao climbed onto the roof of the cabin while the sun had not yet risen.
The air in the early morning was a little cold, and every breath would feel cold, Zhang Xiaodao's hazy sleepiness was immediately dispelled, and he began to look into the distance with great interest, hoping to be more familiar with the world's first Xiongguan in front of him.
That is, the area occupied by Yiguan does not know the geometry, and it is impossible to see the end with human eyesight, Zhang Xiaodao stands here, and there are countless rows of wooden houses that are in sight.
There are thousands of wooden houses lined up one after another, and the wooden houses are divided into hundreds, and there are clear barriers, obviously each of which is a different military camp.
In addition to the same buildings that numb people's vision, a stone building in the distance attracted Zhang Xiaodao's attention.
This stone tower stands out from the crowd in this complex of almost all logs, but not only because it is much taller than the wooden houses that run through the barracks, but because its surface is covered with dead flowers and dead grass.
These depleted plants grow in the cracks of the broken stone and cover every part of the stone building, very evenly. Presumably, someone deliberately planted it in the cracks of the stone.
"Poof. Zhang Xiaodao laughed, and could see that the person who planted plants in the stone crevices should be a girl, hoping to have a flower house, but she never thought that this was a border pass, and the harsh winter time of the year was far greater than the midsummer. So the dilapidated scene is naturally longer.
Just as he was pondering what kind of people were living in this stone building, someone suddenly shouted under the wooden house: "Come down, go to Chengang." ”
This is the middle-aged man with white temples who was knocked down by Zhang Xiaodao's punch last night, his left cheek is now high and swollen, but his confidence is not weaker than last night.
Morning Gang?
Zhang Xiaodao asked a little uncertainly, "How did it happen?"
"No rotation, I'll take you to see it today, and you'll have to go every morning until a recruit arrives here. ”
Zhang Xiaodao smiled disdainfully.
Although he was beaten up yesterday, with the miraculous effects of "Practicing Physical Techniques without Vain" and "Sleeping Heart Sutra", except for some faint bruises on his body when he woke up today, it no longer affected his movements.
But obviously, the white-sidedness man is not, his face does not have a trace of swelling, but is swollen a little bigger than last night, and it looks like a bun is hung on his face.
Seeing Zhang Xiaodao's disdainful appearance, the white-sidedness man sighed helplessly, and also climbed up to the wooden house, and saw that Zhang Xiaodao didn't mean to do anything, so he sat down.
Zhang Xiaodao raised his eyebrows, and the white-sidedness man spoke: "My name, Sun Changyou." ”
"Hello. Zhang Xiaodao subconsciously replied politely.
Sun Changyou touched his raised cheeks, and seemed to finally notice that the obvious scars on Zhang Xiaodao's face had faded, and he couldn't help but dilate his pupils, thinking that he had seen it wrong, and looked at Zhang Xiaodao like a monster, and was stunned for a while.
Zhang Xiaodao touched his face and said, "I don't have any flowers on my face, why do you look at me like this." ”
Sun Changyou remembered the beating last night, and knew that the brothers of the 2nd Rank were not light, and wanted to leave an unforgettable lesson for Zhang Xiaodao, but how could this guy not have a now?
After a long while, Sun Changyou could only attribute it to Zhang Xiaodao being younger than them and having better recovery ability, and he couldn't help but secretly think that if this recruit was still unconvinced, next time he would remind everyone to be more ruthless.
Zhang Xiaodao didn't know Sun Changyou's inner thoughts, but he just subconsciously moved his butt and said, "I don't do it." ”
Sun Changyou, a fresh word like a base, naturally couldn't understand the meaning, but said very strictly: "I'll talk to you about something, you listen carefully." ”
Zhang Xiaodao nodded, obviously this should be the meaning of the 2nd Wu called Yang Pinglin, whether he accepts it or not, he must know the rules in the barracks first.
"The training of our border army is relatively hard, in addition to going out of the customs, practicing five days off and two days off, simply put, it is five days of training and two days off. ”
"The weekend is good. Zhang Xiaodao responded.
Sun Changyou ignored it and continued: "In addition to daily training, we also have to take turns with other soldiers on morning and night shifts. ”
"Also, you should remember that the military discipline here is strict, and it is best not to go out of the armor battalion in normal times, otherwise it will be regarded as a provocation by other battalions and will cause a big trouble. ”
Zhang Xiaodao nodded, and Sun Changyou continued: "In the details, you just see what we do, you can do it, you come later, and the recruit camp three months ago has also been dispersed, so you don't have preferential treatment for recruits." ”
"What perks?"
"Recruit training is at least gradual, veterans are different, you come here, it means you don't have time to get used to it. ”
"Hmm. Zhang Xiaodao nodded.
Sun Changyou said bitterly at this time: "So I advise you, it's best to be soft, there is no saying in this barracks that veterans are afraid of recruits, no one can, so if you continue, you can only ask for hardship." ”
"Is this when the lobbyists came?"
Sun Changyou smiled disdainfully and said: "It's not a lobbyist, if the people of the 2nd Brigade can't clean you up, someone else will come to clean you up, if others can't clean you up, the Daxiong Battalion Commander of the Jiawu Battalion will come to clean you up, this is the rule of the border army, everyone comes over like this, so it's better to stand on the post for a few months and do chores for a few months, don't be ashamed." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaodao understood that the new recruits in the army did not come from the ** psychology of the veterans who had nothing to do, but a tradition.
This tradition is insurmountable, no matter how much you are a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, at the end of the day someone will always come and clean you up until you are served.
Zhang Xiaodao, who understood this truth, sighed.
Sun Changyou smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "The most important thing is that if you don't accept it, there will always be conflicts, and it is inevitable to get injured, and training with injuries is really a very painful thing, if the training can't be completed, the additional training is light, and it is common to be beaten by the captain again, so there is never a recruit in the border army who can stubbornly persevere." ”
After saying this, Sun Changyou said: "Let's go, I'll take it to stand guard." Then he stood up and felt that he had done a good deed.
But he didn't want to ask Zhang Xiaodao at this time: "Who wants to stand guard with you, I won't go." ”
Sun Changyou suddenly said angrily: "It's been a long time since I said everything I just said?"
Zhang Xiaodao replied righteously, "No, I understand this so-called tradition, but I really want to see if I can hold on to that day." ”
"Stubborn!" Sun Changyou brushed his sleeves away.
And what happened next was completely within Zhang Xiaodao's expectations.
When the sun was getting hotter and dispelled a little cold, there was another group fight in front of the 2 Wu Mu House, Zhang Xiaodao bravely added color to several fellow Wu brothers, and he himself couldn't stand up again.
Naturally, the old border soldiers of many armies and battalions came to see the excitement again, but when Zhang Xiaodao was still on the bed in the wooden house again, the old border soldiers began to feel bored, and they were afraid that this new recruit would not be able to hold on any longer.
But this kind of thinking obviously underestimates Zhang Xiaodao's determination.
After the sun set that day, Zhang Xiaodao, who could barely move and sit up, ushered in Yang Pinglin's words: "Do you accept it?"
"I should have asked you. Zhang Xiaodao's nose was blue and his face was swollen with a hard airway.
Then, in front of the wooden house again, there were veterans watching, and Zhang Xiaodao fell to the ground. But this time, his new injury did not heal, and he was hit hard again, and his body finally couldn't bear it and fainted.
Such a hard-nosed Zhang Xiaodao won the applause of many people. Some people have already started to open bets, betting that Zhang Xiaodao can hold on for a few rounds.
In this lively situation, he was sent to the nearest medical hall and to the stone building with long flowers.
In the stone building, Sun Changyou sat on a rattan chair and saw that the girl he had a crush on was a little detained.
On the wooden couch, Zhang Xiaodao lay flat on it, and the woman who only left Sun Changyou with a beautiful back asked softly after checking it: "Recruit?"
"Hmm. ”
Then, the woman stopped talking, and concentrated on examining Zhang Xiaodao's external injuries.
In a daze, Zhang Xiaodao felt a hot pain all over his body, as if someone had thrown him into the sea of fire and suffered from burning.
When the pain reached its limit, he even began to hallucinate, feeling that his flesh was about to melt.
It was also at this fateful moment that he felt a burst of coolness coming from a certain part, as if a spring water was pouring in, making this part gradually feel better.
Immediately afterwards, this kind of cool feeling of a certain part began to appear all over his body, and in this chaotic consciousness, he clearly remembered the number of these cool parts, as many as seventy-nine.
When he came up with the concept of numbers, he felt like he could open his eyes.
Then he opened his eyes, and in front of him were a pair of eyes with a somewhat blurred light of gentle color, and an indescribable fragrance came to his face.
Zhang Xiaodao's nose couldn't help twitching twice, and then he heard someone say: "Doctor Xiao Yang, is he okay?"
A slightly hoarse female voice sounded at this time: "You have a measured hand, and you won't hurt the bones, but I'm afraid you will have to raise it for ten days and eight days." ”
Zhang Xiaodao's eyes began to clear at this time, and then he saw Dr. Xiao Yang in front of him and saw her cheeks clearly.
Dr. Xiao Yang's bun climbs high, revealing a forehead that is as white as snow but slightly wider, her eyebrows are like willows, her eyes are calm and deep, and there are slight crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, but it shows her charm even more. Her lips were slightly thinner, reducing the feeling of generosity of her wide forehead and adding a hint of shrewdness.
Looking at her in coarse linen clothes, she is not shabby, as if she is a hidden nobleman. Zhang Xiaodao inexplicably felt that she was a person with a story, and asked even more inexplicably: "This is Xiaohualou?"
Doctor Yang and Sun Changyou showed puzzled looks, not understanding why Zhang Xiaodao didn't care about his injuries after waking up, but asked something that people couldn't understand.
But in the next moment, Dr. Xiao Yang's puzzled expression eased a little, and he seemed to understand that his stone building was the little flower building in Zhang Xiaodao's mouth, so he said, "Yes." ”
Zhang Xiaodao moved his body and grinned, "It's not those flowers you planted in the cracks of the stones, right?"
"I planted ....... ”
"Don't you know that the harsh winter at the border is much longer than the summer?"
"What if you know?" Doctor Xiao Yang looked at Zhang Xiaodao's blue and swollen face, and listened to his stern tone, as if asking about a big event when the sky fell, and seemed to feel the need to add, so he said: "There is always a time to bloom." ”
Getting this answer, Zhang Xiaodao laughed, grinning with his teeth, but he was beaten like a pig's head, and he thought that his sunny smile was naturally no longer sunny, it was really difficult to see the extreme, but from the laughter, he could feel that he was extremely happy, and seemed to have found an answer that puzzled him for a long time.
Doctor Xiao Yang also raised the corners of his mouth implicitly, as if he understood the ultimate purpose of Zhang Xiaodao's questioning, and said bluntly: "It seems that you will come often in the future?"
Zhang Xiaodao nodded heavily, his expression was solemn, as if he was swearing an oath, and said word by word: "Definitely!"
Sun Changyou couldn't understand something, some couldn't understand it, and he couldn't understand it.
But at this time, Dr. Xiao Yang, who is the most respected and most admired in Yiguan, said: "I think it is necessary for him to stay here for the night, I think this injury will heal sooner." ”
That is, there is no man in Yiguan who can refuse Dr. Xiao Yang's request, even if Dr. Xiao Yang's request is a shocking word like 'keep a man for the night' that has not appeared since she came here, Sun Changyou had to subconsciously nod.
It's just that when Sun Changyou walked out of the stone building of Changhua and was blown by the cold wind, suddenly some unbelievable smell came slowly, he looked at the stone building, and then looked at the rows of wooden houses in the distance, and muttered to himself: "If this matter is spread, how many old border soldiers will have to find fault and beat the knife?"
Pinching his fingers, Sun Changyou made a rough estimate, if there is not 80,000, there must be 50,000 .......
