Chapter 131: Snakes
Su Ruoshui chatted a lot with him, and she told the story of the wilderness survival training in the army in her previous life as the story that happened in the border camp.
"The sergeants are working so hard?" Ye Gu Yuanli only knew that those generals were showing off their martial arts all day long, and the soldiers around them were all old soldiers, and they were like ruffians on the street.
Ye Gu Yuanli didn't have a very good impression of the people in the army, thinking that they were very rude and unqualified, and they didn't know how to educate and not know etiquette.
"Do you know what holds them up? If you were thrown into the wild, would you rather die than eat a mouse? Would you rather die than fight a beast? ”
Ye Gu Yuanli nodded without hesitation, yes, he would rather die, he only wants to die cleanly, and he will be content with the dead.
"What's so hard about dying? Jumping off a cliff, throwing himself into a river, killing himself, and dying of hunger for a few days. But the sergeants don't want to die, not because they are afraid of death, people are the same, they also have dignity, they are willing to choose a noble life, and they are not willing to eat maggots raw. ”
Su Ruoshui still feels enthusiastic when she recalls the training back then, she can give up everything for the motherland, for the people, and for the faith, and she can defeat everything, but she didn't have time to do anything, and a wrong case in Yin Si made her a wronged soul.
"For the sake of faith, they swore allegiance to the Ye Gu family. For the people, I would rather exchange blood for the peace of the people. For Tanglin, they don't even dare to die, they want to live, for the peace of Tanglin, for Tanglin to defend the land, for Tanglin to open up the territory. ”
Ye Gu Yuanli had a particularly strong sense of guilt in his heart, as if Ye Gujia was particularly sorry for the border soldiers, it turned out that they all had such patriotic feelings.
"So their roughness, I don't think it's barbaric, it's the grinding of the wind and sand. I don't feel ashamed of the scars on their bodies, the humiliation they have suffered, they are all medals of honor. ”
I have to admit that Su Ruoshui's mobilization work is good enough, Ye Gu Yuanli instantly had the idea of abandoning his pen and joining the army, and really wanted to start from a lowest-level recruit, that is where men should go, what men should do.
"It's not early, go to bed." Su Ruoshui is not particularly sleepy, but he always has to sleep at night, if he doesn't sleep well, how can he have the spirit to continue to live tomorrow?
Now their task is to live, and to live well is to win.
"Hmm." Ye Gu Yuanli's heart was like an open door, listening to Su Ruoshui's story, it turned out that sitting in the palace and being in a prison cell felt almost the same.
The difference is that in the cell it is more casual, in the palace there are people all around, and it is not convenient to speak.
Ye Gu Yuanli laid down with a pillow, this broken bed was really uncomfortable.
"Third brother, take out the robe and cover it, and cover it with another layer of grass, so as not to be discovered by the night patrol."
"Okay." Ye Gu Yuanli sat up again, looked at Su Ruoshui and smiled softly. "Two years younger than me, a third brother is called so smooth, you can call me Yuan Li in the future, how about it?"
"Do you need to call you third brother?" Su Ruoshui knew in his heart that it was okay to be good to the third prince, but he had to remember his identity, Su Ruoshui was his sister-in-law, which could not be shaken.
One sentence made Ye Gu Yuanli's face red, and indeed his proposal was suspected of arrogance.
One of them is now a solitary widow, the other is a virgin unmarried, and they are separated by an uncle and sister-in-law, so it is a miracle that they can chat so smoothly.
Ye Gu Yuanli was still dissatisfied and wanted to go further, Su Ruoshui was still very accurate.
"I, I said the wrong thing." Ye Gu Yuanli got out of bed to get his long shirt.
Su Ruoshui also got out of bed and re-laid the withered grass on the gown, her grass was all paved, and Ye Gu Yuanli's robe had not been pulled out.
"Can't you see?" Su Ruoshui was a little puzzled, although the light was extremely dim, their clothes were white, and they could still see the shadows, so light clothes should be pulled out at once.
"Maybe it's scratched, I can't pull it out." Ye Gu Yuanli felt a little heavy in his tugging, and he didn't dare to use force for fear of tearing his clothes.
"Xu is scraped, pull hard, anyway, I don't plan to ask for clothes, just break it."
"Okay." Ye Gu Yuanli thought about it, why don't you plan to wear this clothes, what do you care?
He tugged hard, his clothes pulled out, and he flashed backwards, 'kicking, kicking, kicking, kicking. 'Took a few steps back.
At the same time, a black shadow jumped out from under the bed and rushed straight to the Third Highness.
"Ahh Ye Gu Yuanli was so frightened that his hair stood on end, and he was really a heart-to-heart soul fluttering.
A big black snake with a thick wrist spit a crimson snake letter from its mouth and pounced on Ye Gu Yuanli, who was so frightened that he shook the long shirt in his hand.
Although the black snake was fast, its direction was not very accurate, and it did not pounce on Ye Gu Yuanli, but towards the long robe.
Suddenly pounced, the black snake did not wrap around, but Ye Gu Yuanli curled up a step in front of his feet, and raised his head to look at the trembling robe in his hand.
It probably thought that Ye Gu Yuanli had robbed it of its warm new mattress.
"Don't be afraid!" Su Ruoshui held the wooden pillar, and this gap was just right to pass. "Cover it with clothes!"
Su Ruoshui instructed him while running to the head of the bed and taking out the mouse under the pillow.
Ye Guyuan's heart was about to vomit, and he wanted to stare at the black snake tightly to see it clearly, but he really had tears in his eyes and couldn't see it clearly.
Hearing Su Ruoshui's roar, his heart was somewhat settled, but he couldn't control his legs and hands from shaking.
But he still tried very hard to tremble - he put the robe on the black snake's head with trembling hands, and he mustered up the courage to widen his eyes and desperately took the robe and pressed it down on the black snake's head.
After all, it was the first time he had caught a snake, and the snake's reaction speed was dozens of times faster than his. He threw himself into the air, and the black snake 'swooped' out.
The black snake jumped out of the cage at once, but Ye Gu Yuanli didn't feel a trace of relief, because it could jump back at any time.
"Go to bed, stand still on the bed, preferably not even breathing. The snake has poor eyesight, it cannot see far and can distinguish the location of its prey by smell and thermal energy. ”
Ye Gu Yuanli didn't understand what the second half of the sentence meant, anyway, let him go to bed, he understood, he honestly stood on the bed and didn't dare to move.
Su Ruoshui was talking to Ye Gu Yuanli, but his eyes kept staring at the black snake hovering outside the cage.
She grabbed the mouse with her left hand and handed it out from between the wooden pillars, she kept shaking the mouse, and 'squeak~squeak~' to learn the mouse's call.
Finally, the black snake's attention was successfully attracted by her, and the black snake opened its mouth like a blood basin and bit the mouse in one bite.
No, not only the mouse, but also Su Ruoshui's entire left hand was in the snake's mouth.
