"Abba, can the people of Qi eat like this every day?"

Duck Dan asked stunned.

She picked up a shiny pickle and ate it in her mouth.

The delicious salty taste hit her taste buds.

The wonderful taste of salty and fragrant seems to open up a new world for her.

Her father shook his head, hesitantly guessing, "Perhaps, it would be better than this, right?" ”

The duck egg chews the rice on the plate carefully, not the kind of aged rice, but fresh rice, the fragrance of the grain has a hint of sweetness, and then sandwiched a shredded pickle with oil, in the mouth of the duck egg, it feels like it is the most delicious thing in the world.

"Even if it's a landlord's house, you can't eat such a meal!"

Duck Egg thought.

Food can make people happy, let alone a child who can't eat enough all year round.

She chewed a peanut, it was crunchy, and the smell of fat almost made her bite her tongue.

She picked up the fried peanuts and gave them to her father: "Abba, you taste it, it's so fragrant!" ”

"Hmm!"

The man nodded heavily.

"Abba, you eat more, and you'll have to work later."

Duck Egg gave some rice from his plate to his father.

"You can eat some too, Daddy can eat enough."

The man persuaded.

"Hmm."

The duck egg nodded, chewing the sweet meal carefully one bite at a time.

Not far away, some soldiers of the Qi State gathered in groups of three or five, sitting on the ground, holding rice bowls, and quickly solving lunch.

On the ground in front of them, boxes of canned food were placed.

Today, the productivity of Qi has risen.

The army's food treatment is also steadily improving, according to the standard, when there are no cooking conditions in the pot, each soldier has a box of canned meat, a canned vegetables, and a box of canned fruit, as well as a number of sweets.

"The people in the north are really hard, yesterday when I passed through a village, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old baby, who was only up to my waist, so he had to follow our team to the front line to fight, and our squad leader finally persuaded him to go back."

"What? That baby's family doesn't care? ”

"What's the matter, I heard from the people in the village, the child's father and mother are gone, an orphan."

"Alas!"

Several soldiers sighed when they heard this.

"When you're full, hurry up, before this evening, our regiment will rush to Wacheng, and the road ahead will enter the mountains, and the road will not be easy to walk."

The squad leader stood up after eating, went to the water's edge to clean the dishes, and sent him back to the cooking class.

Facing the water, he straightened up his military uniform.

Although he has tanned skin during daily training, he has a tall posture and stiff facial features, and he is specially decorated with a stiff military uniform.

"Little girl, why are you following the transport team?"

When he came back, he saw a little girl who was eating the plate cleanly and quietly looking at them, and he asked curiously.

In the army, except for the military doctor and the military band, there is very little opportunity to see women.

"I'm following Abba."

Duck Dan was a little scared when he saw that he was peeking at others and was discovered.

Although these soldiers of the Qi State look different, the common people in the north have long been frightened by the "military masters".

When the old scene was there, thieves were like combs, and soldiers were like grates.

Whether it is a thief or an officer or an officer, everywhere he passes, the people are panicked.

After the Daru people came, they did not treat the common people as human beings, and committed adultery, plunder, murder, and pleasure, and did all kinds of evil.

"Master ······ Military"

Her father was also startled, and hurriedly licked the smiling face that couldn't hide his nervousness, and spoke carefully.

"Uncle, don't call it that, let our instructor hear it, and you have to teach me a lesson."

The squad leader waved his hand again and again to stop the duck egg and her father's words: "Our king said that our soldiers of Qi are the soldiers of the common people, who are to fight for the sake of the common people, for the whole country to live a good life, and to break the cruel rule of the Daru people and the fierce oppression of the big landlords.

Little sister, this is for you to eat, go home and study hard in the future, strive to get into a university, and be a useful person to the country and the people. ”

As he spoke, the squad leader took out four or five pieces of toffee from his pocket, as well as a piece of chocolate, and stuffed them into the girl's hand.

"Thank you······"

Duck Dan held the candy in his hand, looking at the smile in front of him, like the morning sun, and felt thirsty like a desert in his heart, as if there was a spring "goo-goo-goo" gushing out of the sweet spring water, moistening the heart.

Just as she was about to say something, a whistle of "beep-beep-" sounded in the distance.

The soldier in front of him heard this voice and ran away like a gust of wind.

All the soldiers resting at the transit station ran towards one place and gathered together.

They stood there silently, and the officer gave a few words.

It's like a city wall, giving it a feeling of heaviness, warmth, and peace of mind.

Soon after, they got into the personnel carrier, which quickly left the transit station. Disappeared from people's sight.

"Abba, Qi Guo must be fine, right?"

Duck Egg looked at the dust flying on the road and asked her father.

"Hmm."

Her father nodded: "The people of Qi can afford us." ”

Not only the duck eggs, but all the northern people recruited here have felt the military discipline of the soldiers of the Qi State. This kind of autumn is not guilty, and when communicating with them, that gentle attitude simply subverts their perception of being a soldier.

For that southern country, the people are enthusiastic in their hearts and have unprecedented expectations.

The people were well fed.

For many people, this sweet white rice and this oily pickle strip are better than what they eat during the Chinese New Year, especially the best meal they have eaten in years!

With strength, everyone is working in full swing.

Boxes of military supplies were loaded onto pallets and carts and transported to the front line.

A long, end-to-end transport procession was formed.

Duck Egg followed her father, and Goncy Mountain was a test for them. The trails here are not very easy to follow, and even if they are simply smoothed, they are not very friendly to them.

"How did you get a cave out there?"

Before going up the mountain, Duck Egg pointed to a cave in front of the mountain. At the entrance of the cave, there are still vehicles coming in and out, pulling out a large number of stones.

"I don't know."

His father didn't know what those Qi people were competing with the mountains.

Over the mountains, the duck egg followed the car, and helped Abba push the cart in the back when going uphill.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, it was already the middle of the moon. Under the command of the Qi people, they rested in sections, took out the rice balls that were distributed to them by the transit station when they left at noon, and ate with shredded pickles.

The cool breeze blowing in the early spring night blew in bursts, because of the sweat on the body of the goods, as soon as the cool breeze blew, I immediately felt cold and swishing.

The duck egg shrank down beside her father.

Under the moonlight, the mountains and forests on both sides of the road, with the mountain peaks swaying one by one, the shadows and pupils are a little terrifying.

She didn't know when she fell asleep, she just felt wobbly.

By the time she woke up on top of the food bag on the shuttle, it was already the next morning.

The sun is shining on her body, the morning breeze is blowing, and wild flowers have grown on the wild ground, just like her, a wild child, although she is not very beautiful, but she is not afraid of the wind and frost, and she grows tenacious.

She sat up and looked at the big black jacket that was over her.

The jacket also has the words of the Qi Army on it, an epaulette on the shoulder, and three silver beans on it.

"Abba."

Duck Egg shouted.

The man who was pulling the cart wiped the sweat from his forehead, turned around and smiled at the duck egg: "Awake? I rested in front for a while, and I just returned my coat to the adult. ”

Duck Egg looked at the smile on Abba's face, she didn't know how long it had been since she had seen such a relaxed smile on his face.

She couldn't tell what it was like.

But the logistics officer who walked over knew what kind of smile it was.

He has seen a lot, this is a kind of smile that comes out of the numbness, and has hope for the future life.

"The little girl is awake."

He smiled, took the padded jacket from the car, and put it on his body.

Although he has practiced martial arts, the temperature at night is still very low, and he still feels cold if he doesn't wear a jacket.

"Thank you, sir!"

Duck Dan said very embarrassed.

Unconsciously, when facing these Qi soldiers, she no longer felt afraid.

"Haha, don't be polite to your uncle. You children, but the future of Qi is to build the country in the future. ”

He put on his padded jacket.

If someone is familiar with the military system of the Qi State, they can see that he is a captain of the Qi Army.

The captain patted the duck egg on the head and left.

When it was time to rest and eat breakfast, the people in the convoy were sleepy. Therefore, the rest time is also relatively long, and many people curl up and sit on the side of the road to rest after they have eaten their stomachs.

"Yesterday you fell asleep, and when the lord saw it, he took off his coat and put it on you.

I've come to see you a few times during the night. ”

Eating rice balls, her father told her duck eggs.

"That uncle is so nice."

Duck Dan looked into the distance, the Qi officer who was resting on the side of the road.

"Yes, all the officials can be so good to us, Abba believes that Qi Guo must be as good as he said on the radio."

When Duck Egg's father talked about this, his eyes lit up.

When the whistle blew and the duck egg and her father dragged his tired and limp legs to pull the cart, a wave of energy surged from his heart again.

"The soldiers on the front line are fighting with those barbarians with real knives and guns, what is it if I pull a car!"

He thought silently, there was infinite power in his heart.

It wasn't until noon that they finally arrived at their intended location. When he stopped, he felt that his legs and stomach were spinning, and he had no strength at all, and his whole body was hot, and the heat was radiating outward.

Looking back, the transport team still couldn't see the edge.

"Rumbling ······"

There was a rumbling sound, and in the distance, a group of steel behemoths were rapidly approaching, bypassing the convoy and heading towards the front line.

Although the distance was far, they could still see the figures of those steel giants clearly, even if they were hundreds of meters away, they could feel the heavy sense of oppression given by those steel giants!

If this is pushed all the way across, what flesh and blood body can withstand the crushing of such a giant beast!

"Not far ahead, it's Wacheng."

The village chief of Duck Egg Village limped over with a kettle.

"Uncle, what's wrong with your legs?"

Duck Egg's father asked with concern.

The ancestor of the village chief was a criminal official assigned here, and he was not allowed to take the imperial examination in the previous dynasty.

But he has read books, and he has also taken people to go south and north to do business, and he is the most knowledgeable person in the village.

"Just like you, tired."

The village chief sat down and asked, "In the morning, I saw that captain come to you, what is the matter?" ”

"The duck eggs fell asleep, and the adult took off his jacket and put them on the duck eggs."

Duck Egg, her father said gratefully.

"Good officer!"

The village chief sighed.

"Yes, yes."

Her father also said: "I think the officials of Qi are very good." ”

"Yes, the Holy King of Qi is in the dynasty, which is different from the previous dynasty."

The village chief also sighed.

"The front is Wacheng, let's unload the goods, and rest here in the back for a while. Wait until tomorrow to go back.

The captain just told me that there are relatively few auxiliaries on the front line here now, and we may have to help carry some things, but we will not go to the front line, and we have the money to take them. ”

The village chief said.

The army asked him to follow the convoy, so he had the consideration of helping to coordinate the people of the village. When something happens, the logistics officer will talk to them, the village chiefs, and they will be responsible for informing and managing the people in the village.

"And the money?"

Duck Egg's father asked in surprise.

Duck Dan also looked at the village chief in surprise.

It's just that the food is so good, and even the money is paid!

When I was in the old scene, I had never heard of being pulled into a strong man, serving in forced labor, and getting money.

At that time, even if you were conscripted, you had to bring your own dry food, and no one would care about your food and drink!

Those people will only whip you and scold you when you are slow.

"Rich, that's what it looks like."

The village chief took out a few banknotes: "That's it." ”

"What a beautiful painting!"

Duck Egg looked at the coin in the village chief's hand.

Some of them were printed with busts of peasants, workers, and scientists, and on the back were black trains that she had never seen before, winding through the mountains and rivers.

Some of them are printed with photos of human race and demon race, and on the back are factories and machines.

"What kind of painting, this is Qi Guo's money, this one is one penny, this one is ten pennies."

The village chief corrected.

"Money? Are these pieces of paper money? Can it be spent? ”

Duck Egg asked curiously.

"You don't have a radio at home, I hid a radio before, I listened to the program of Qi State, and it mentioned this kind of banknote, not only can it be spent, the whole south recognizes it, but also goes to those small countries outside, and they also recognize this kind of money!

Like the silver, it is very convenient to buy and sell. ”

The head of the village, who used to be in business, paid special attention to the economic program of Qi Guo, and was very attentive to these currencies. (End of chapter)
