Chapter II

Shi Liang and Yang Hao, the two boys, were nesting in the bushes at the moment, staring at the battle above the sky that seemed to be bursting with fireworks, and they didn't realize that there was a man beside them. The soulless man stumbled through the bushes where the two men were hiding.

"Ahh Yang Hao jumped up violently, and then shouted, "You stepped on my foot!" This voice pulled Shi Liang back to his eyes. However, the rickety man did not seem to hear the shouting at all, and did not stop, probably frightened by the battle in the sky, and disappeared into the roadside jungle with his hands and feet.

Shi Liang, who had just come back to his senses, couldn't see the man's appearance clearly, but his afterglow swept by, as if he saw that the man had a pair of empty dark purple eyes.

"That's a small amount of guts!" Yang Hao patted the shoe print on his calf indignantly, "The battle in the sky just now was really cool, did you see where the red light came from in the end?" ”

"I don't know, did you say that the few fierce armor soldiers who just fell are dead?"

"I guess that's enough. So it seems that in the future, we will also be like this, well, sacrifice. ”

"Perhaps, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, my hands are still shaking, but I'm even more afraid of being hungry, don't forget how the third boy died."

Of course, Shi Liang will not forget that in the famine seven years ago, the seventh uncle of the Yang family cooked his grandson, and tricked Shi Liang into eating meat at his house. When the cannibal demon was about to attack him with a knife, he was broken by Yang Hao, who came to find someone, and his cry shocked the whole village, so that everyone could save him.

Yang Laoqi, who cannibalized people, was finally beaten to death by the patriarch and hung at the head of the village for seven days. But the ghost has not disappeared, and since then it has become a nightmare for all the children in Yangjiawan, especially Shi Liang, at midnight.

In the past two years, the second uncle has returned to his hometown, although he has taken care of Shi Liang a lot, and his life is better, but the scar on his waist and abdomen has always reminded him how terrible it is to be hungry. He and Yang Hao were too scared to eat in the sky, so they begged the second uncle to take them to join the army.

At this time, the road outside the Yujie Post had been completely blocked by the yellow-clothed Begonia soldiers who had not gone to the front line and came out of the post office, and the only people who could enter and exit were the light green-clothed Jasmine Monks carrying stretchers and the gray-clothed escorts. Since the alarm sounded, all the subordinates of the post station have not stopped. Rescue the wounded, clean up the battlefield, count the battle damage, and comfort the family, the entire Yujieyi has changed from the past to be peaceful, like a machine with full strings, running at high speed.

"Uncle!" Shi Liang raised his hand and shook it, jumped up and shouted, "I, Xiao Liang! He and Yang Hao had been stopped on the side of the road for almost an hour, and no matter how Shi Liang explained, the red-armored warrior ignored the release. It was not easy to wait for his second uncle to walk out of the camp gate, and he was naturally extremely excited.

The general who had just commanded Ruo Dingdi turned his head when he heard the sound, and grinned: "Yo, Xiao Liang is here, I don't have time to greet you, go to the Begonia Club to report by yourself, Xiao Wu!" You arrange it. As he spoke, he kept walking, leaving behind a soldier in regular clothes embroidered with two pointed yellow flames embroidered on his left chest, and hurried into the post office.

After the commander left, the regular soldier named Xiao Wu waved his hand to let the red-armored soldiers go.

"Hello, my name is Wu Kai, come with me." Wu Kai didn't say much, and led the two of them into the post office.

The entrance hall of the post is tall, but the depth inside is not spacious, walk through the courtyard, it is the middle hall of three zhang long and two zhang wide, there are two single rooms on the left and right sides of the middle hall, the door is embossed with begonia, jasmine, nanhua, orchid four flower prints, corresponding to the four sides of the steward. Behind the inner wall of the middle hall should be the office of the supervisor, Shi Liang's second uncle Shi Guangzhong's voice is loud and vaguely audible, and it should be the inner hall will not be too big.

Not long after Shi Yang and the others entered the Begonia Club public house with Wu Kai, they walked out with an identity wooden card. At this time, Wu Kairen was gone, and the two had to follow a yellow-clothed Begonia scholar waiting outside the door, through the small door next to the Yiya courtyard, and came to the Begonia Club Office next door. It was another physical examination and other trivial things, and it was already dusk after finishing everything, and the two of them who couldn't see the second uncle went home.

Ten days later, the Yujieyi has restored its former smoothness.

Today is the day for recruits to report, Yang Hao pulled Shi Liang to say goodbye to his family early in the morning and rushed to the Begonia Club. Perhaps because of the loss of personnel in the previous battle, this time there are more recruits than in the past.

Compared with the post office, the clubhouse has one less central hall, and the courtyard is naturally larger, but now there are eighteen young men squeezed in at once, and they are still a little supportive.

At the end of the day, under the guidance of a yellow-clothed veteran who was in charge of the reception, a group of newcomers divided into two columns and stood in a long formation in the courtyard. At this time, they had all changed into a pale yellow training robe, and the begonia buds embroidered on their chests seemed to mark their youthfulness. Seeing that everything was arranged, the veteran went into the inner room on his own. After waiting for a long time, a red-armored soldier walked out of the room with a sackcloth bag.

"All of them! Attention. The recruits, who were full of novelty, straightened their backs all of a sudden, but because they had not yet been trained, the queue was somewhat messy. The soldier didn't mind, took out a silver pendant chain from his shoulder pocket, and continued, "Today is the first day of enlistment, call your name forward, and receive your identity plate!" Shi Liang! ”

Shi Liang was the first to run to the front of the team, and the soldier should have wanted to make a demonstration, personally helped him hang the pendant chain around his neck, and then asked him to turn to face everyone, pointing to the number on the nameplate and continued: "There is a number on the nameplate, from now on it is your code name in this team, and you will have no name after wearing it!" Ninety-two-three, return to the team! With that, he motioned for Shi Liang to return to the team, and then began his roll call again.

After all the personnel put on the nameplate and returned to stand in the queue, the soldier continued: "Today, remember a word for labor and management, wear the nameplate, people do not die and do not take off the card, and there are only two ways for the Begonia Club to leave, one is to put on red armor and walk out like me, and the other is to cover the white cloth and lie out. After speaking, he deliberately paused, as if to give the newcomers a little time to digest, and then continued: "Now all of them are here, familiarize yourself with the number, eat, and gather for formal training from time to time, and give you a piece of advice, you can eat a little full!" I'm your instructor five-seven-three, disbanded! After speaking, he ignored the newcomer's reaction and walked out of the courtyard by himself.

As soon as the instructor left, the young guys' social enthusiasm was ignited at once, and everyone said a word, and soon formed a small group chatting happily.

"Ninety-two-three, let's go and occupy a seat, this is ninety-thirty-one and ninety-two, they are brothers." Yang Hao introduced the new companions, and without stopping his hands and feet, he looked forward to it, and pulled Shi Liang to run to the canteen. The reason why they arrived an hour earlier this morning was to step on the spot in advance, and they were even more familiar with the road at this time.

Shi Liang hurriedly said hello to the two of them at the same time, and was half-pulled and half-dragged to the dining hall. As soon as the four of them occupied a table closest to the back kitchen and sat down, many young men with active brains followed them, and after a while, there were more people in the dining hall.

At this time, there was still a moment before the meal began, and the four of them exchanged names with each other. Geng Er and Geng San's parents were both farmers, and they died a few years ago, and they have been feeding their brothers and sisters-in-law since then. The two men were older and didn't want to drag down their brother and sister-in-law anymore, so they signed up for the army. It's just that from the words of the brothers, in addition to the reluctance to give up on their brother, they still feel the real reason, most likely because they were disgusted by their sister-in-law and enlisted in the army angrily. The two brothers naturally shook their family background like a broken mouth, and when they said that the second uncle Shi Liang was the head of the Yujie Station, there was obviously a trace of respect in their eyes. Seeing that the four people at this table were chatting enthusiastically, the other young people naturally approached the group, and a little enthusiasm changed or interjected into the small talk. Among them, there are naturally many colleagues and nephews of the second uncle of the Shi family, who take the initiative to be better with Shi Liang.

Before you know it, it's time for dinner. When several fat chefs walked out of the back kitchen with buckets full of meals, the lively and lively atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed direction, and eighteen young men scrambled to be the first. The food is sufficient, and the speed at which the food disappears is even faster than light, and the fat chef's oil robe has already been drenched in sweat after seven or eight rounds of tossing and turning, and it is wet and sticking to the body.

The bell rang, and the crowd of people, who had just thought that they would continue to chat for a while after they had eaten enough, stood up one by one and hurriedly ran out.

At this time, the instructor who was already waiting did not put on the red armor of the morning, but changed into a red training uniform, which was different from the begonia bud of the recruit's egg, and his chest was embroidered with a single-pointed yellow flame. At the same time, the instructor also replaced the sack he was carrying on his back and replaced it with a thin bamboo stick pinched behind him.
