Chapter 16: Homecoming
"There are a total of ninety-eight enemy soldiers, and we have destroyed twenty-nine enemy soldiers, how many enemy soldiers are left?"
"What's that...... It's only ninety-eight, why don't we destroy them all? ”
"Less nonsense! Q: How many people do you have? ”
"Ninety-eight...... Uh, twenty-nine......" Beads of sweat began to pop up on the thief's head, and his face gradually turned red.
I didn't sweat so much when I ran in armor.
After a long time, I saw him raise his head, his eyes blood-red: "What about them?" I'm going to fight them! ”
The invigilator went up and put him to the ground with a neat back fall: "You fight a fart, eliminate!" ”
……
"I'll show you a few flag languages now, only three times, and you memorize them."
The invigilator demonstrated the meaning of the bandit flag with a spear with a command flag.
"Got it?"
"Written down!" The bandit patted his chest and said.
The proctor then made a flag: "What does this mean?" ”
"This face is invincible!"
After asking the other two questions, the thieves also answered them correctly, and the invigilator nodded with satisfaction: "Next question." ”
……
The second and third parts of the assessment are randomly selected from Liu Chan's "question bank" wooden slip.
Ten questions and six pairs, even if they are qualified.
The second part is the arithmetic, which is really nothing more than addition and subtraction.
After the battle, you must be accurate in counting the spoils of war or reporting the war damage, right?
The third part is the assessment of memory and comprehension skills.
The orders I give and the objectives of the mission, you must understand and remember, this is the most basic.
But even so, there are still as many as 50 people who have been eliminated.
And most of these people are eliminated because of the number of techniques.
If the addition and subtraction is more than twenty, they don't understand.
Because they have fingers and toes, there are only twenty in total...... Occasionally, there is a congenital six fingers, but it is still not enough.
When they asked if they could borrow someone else's fingers and toes, they were ruthlessly rejected by the invigilator......
But not everyone is like this, for example, Hu Li was in the second and third parts of the selection, and all 20 questions were correct, and he passed the test perfectly.
At this time, he was receiving kindness from the invigilator.
"Okay, brother, I didn't see that you still have Neixiu, except for Li Junhou in our camp, you are the one with the best grades." The invigilator patted Hu Li on the shoulder.
Hu Li hurriedly laughed: "The military master has won the award, and he has won the award." ”
"Huh~ You have passed the selection of the major general, and you will be your own brother in the future, so you don't have to be so angry."
The two reported each other's names, and the conversation was quite deed.
Liu Chan clapped his hands at this time, and the invigilators immediately gathered the thieves who had passed the selection.
"Everyone, first of all, congratulations on passing the selection, from today onwards, you will be my soldiers."
Hu Li, who was alive and well-eyed, immediately knelt down on one knee: "Swear allegiance to the lord!" ”
When the others saw it, they quickly followed suit.
"Swear allegiance to the Lord!"
"Don't be busy just yet." Liu Chan smiled a little mysteriously, "I hope that in ten days, I will be able to see you here one by one." ”
The thieves are a little confused, what does the lord mean by this?
But Liu Chan didn't say anything more, gave a few words to Li Er, and left with his hands behind his back.
Nowadays, the affairs and rules and regulations of the barracks, including the training subjects, have long been set.
Liu Chan didn't have anything else to worry about except for coming to teach the generals he appointed every day and "organizing activities" for the soldiers.
These recruits don't need to pay attention to themselves in the first ten days, Li Er will naturally deal with them.
……
A few families are happy and a few are sad, and the thieves who passed the selection are naturally happy, but those who don't pass are gloomy.
"Alas...... Now that we are in Chengdu City, Liu Gongzi doesn't want us. A thin young man sighed again and again, "I can't even do my old job of robbery, what will I live on in the future?" ”
A man with a hunchbacked chicken chest next to him said: "Who says it's not, we are not familiar with life, even if we forgive our past sins, we don't have any ability to make a living...... I'm afraid I'm going to be a slave to others. ”
"Why didn't Liu Gongzi directly accept us as slaves, at least he shouldn't be easily killed under his hands."
At this time, the reserve member who acted as the leader shouted in front: "Don't talk too much! You'll find out when you get there. ”
Several people immediately shut up, but they were still worried.
Until they came to a small town to the west of the city.
This small city has its own three-meter rammed earth wall, and the east and west gates are each guarded by a few reservists, but it looks safer than Nan'an County......
Of course, the scale is much smaller.
And all of them are carved out of yellow mud houses.
These houses are mainly made of yellow mud, supplemented by wood and thatch.
It is not as beautiful as the stone and wood houses in Chengdu with the main body and tiled houses.
But although it looks simple, it is actually warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not so bad.
And their biggest advantage ...... Just like a rammed earth wall, it starts quickly and saves costs.
The unsuccessful bandit walked to the gate of the small city, only to see three big characters engraved on it: shantytown.
Naturally, they don't know each other, and these bandits don't even know the word "Zhongyi Hall" hanging in their village.
"Let's go inside."
Seeing the leader walk in, although they were worried, they had to follow in.
After walking not far, people suddenly came out of the mud huts on both sides.
"Daddy, this is it, our family is here!"
"Daddy, come and see the new house~"
The bandits are confused, home?
Where did you come from when you first arrived?
But what came out in front of him was clearly his family.
The leader of the team said loudly: "Wait and go to reunite with your family, and if you don't have a family, follow me and assign you a house." Two moments later, the clearing in the city assembled! ”
After saying that, he went to take care of himself.
The stunned thieves were each led back, only to learn that their relatives had already been placed here, and each family was assigned a yellow mud house.
It's not big, but it's always sheltered from the wind and rain.
There are even intimate cooking utensils in each room.
And these are all owned by Liu Chan, and the house is said to be borrowed for them until they have the money to move into their own house.
Half a month's ration was also distributed on a capitation basis.
The thin young man before looked at the wife and children in the house, the food piled up in the corner, his eyes were red, and he finally couldn't help but hug his family and cry.
There is unwillingness to lose, but more is gratitude after peace of mind.
He finally had a home, like a man.
……
Two moments later, the bandits gathered in the open space in the city to listen to the leader's lecture.
"You have hands and feet, and you need to feed yourself. The major general is not thin on you, if there are those who are idle and cause trouble, they will be severely punished! ”
The bandits claimed to be one after another.
Only then did they know that it was called a shanty town.
"To the east of Chengdu, there are the vineyards and wineries of the major generals; In the north of the city, there are pens for raising pigs and chickens, all of which need to be taken care of by hired people, and they all have a life of compensation and support.
"If you want to go, wait until tomorrow morning to get the name tag and sign up. If you are unwilling or unable to do these jobs, you can also hire farmers to help people farm, and you can go to the Chengdu City Government Office to inquire.
"If the women in the family have leisure, they can go to learn brocade weaving and silkworm raising, and they also need to register at the city government office. The Major General has ordered that no one will be embarrassed everywhere. ”
After the introduction, the team leader finally said: "The young general has a saying: If you are diligent and law-abiding, then you will have a way to survive one day." Let's disperse! ”
The leader left, but the crowd still refused to disperse for a long time.
After a long time, they all knelt down to the east and spontaneously bowed to the east......
But the object of their prostration, our eldest son Liu Chan, encountered a little trouble at this time.
As soon as Liu Changang entered the city, he was about to go to his old friends to catch up, and by the way, he would see if he could brush up on a wave of favorability.
Not long after I didn't want to walk, I heard a pretty female voice shouting: "Heir Liu!" Today, we will not only decide the superior, but also divide life and death! ”
Hiss......
The feeling of a headache all over my body is here again.
