Chapter 7 First Arrival at the Border
"Haha"
Several people laughed three times at the same time and then said loudly:
"A boy is born in heaven and earth, and he is free to roam the rivers and lakes."
Driving...
Several people rode horses and walked quickly across the official road. There was a cloud of dust and smoke.
After ten days of traveling, Ye Jiu and his party came to the border pass.
The border pass is in the northernmost part of the Great Liang Dynasty, so people also call it the northern border of the Great Liang.
After Ye Jiu and his party dismounted, Mu Guiding asked the others to go back to the camp separately, while he took Ye Jiu to the logistics canteen.
On the way, he said to Ye Jiu: "You are in poor health, and you can't go to the battlefield now, so you can only be arranged to help cook in the logistics canteen first, and when you have nothing to do, you can learn martial arts well, and when you are strong after you have exercised for a while, you will be transferred to the front-line battlefield to kill the enemy." You have to exercise every day! For example, waking up early, swimming, running, climbing, etc. ”
Ye Jiu nodded: "Thank you Brother Mu, I will insist on running every day and stepping on the horse." ”
"Then I'll go first, remember that if you want to be good at martial arts, don't be afraid of hardship."
The ancients said: "Only when you suffer hardship can you become a superior person." ”
After Mu Guiding handed over Ye Jiu to Qin Lao, he asked Qin Lao to find more work for Ye Jiu, and left after speaking, leaving Ye Jiu alone.
Qin Lao's name is Qin Erzhong, and he used to be a soldier who fought as a soldier. Later, he was wounded in a big battle, accidentally broken by the enemy, and almost hung up, and was rescued by Mu Guiding at the last moment, and after the injury was healed, he still wanted to go to the battlefield, but because his feet were inconvenient, he limped when walking, which was very inconvenient.
Mu Guiding asked him to go back to his hometown at that time, but he didn't want to leave, so he arranged for him to go to the canteen and be responsible for managing it.
After Mu Guiding left, Qin Lao looked at Ye Jiu and said, "My name is Qin Erzhong, everyone calls me Qin Lao, what is your name, young man!" ”
Ye Jiu replied: "Old Qin, my name is Ye Jiu, and I will ask Old Qin to take care of me in the future." ”
Qin Lao nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you work hard, I won't treat you badly." ”
Next, Qin Lao told Ye Jiu what to do every day: "Including washing dishes, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking on the fire, tidying up the canteen, and going up the mountain to collect wood." ”
Ye Jiu nodded, and after smiling bitterly, he scolded Mu Guiding's ancestors for the eighteenth generation in his heart: "Originally, Lao Tzu came to join the army and fight on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that you would let me do hard work and cook this dog day." ”
Qin Lao was very careful to tell Ye Jiu a lot of things to do, including how many people are now, what everyone does every day, how many people eat, the specific arrangements for each day, what time to get up in the morning, etc., which can be said to be very detailed.
After hearing what Elder Qin said, Ye Jiu thanked him and said, "Thank you Elder Qin, I don't know where I live." ”
After hearing this, Qin Lao took Ye Jiu to a firewood household and said, "Now there are no other vacant rooms, you can clean up this firewood room, move some firewood inside, and then live here for a few days!" I'll know you as soon as there's a room available, and I'll let you move in. ”
Ye Jiu looked at the firewood room and said, "Okay, thank you Elder Qin." ”
After Qin Lao finished speaking, he was about to leave, but he suddenly thought of something and said, "Then you can clean up first!" Otherwise, you won't have anywhere to stay at night! After cleaning up the room, come to the cafeteria for dinner, and I have something to arrange for you when the time comes. ”
Ye Jiu smiled: "Okay, then I'll go to the cafeteria when I'm cleaned up, and I'll come to you when I'm done eating." ”
After Qin Lao left, Ye Jiu quickly moved the firewood in the firewood room, and after half a day, Ye Jiu finally moved a small half of the firewood, and after thinking about it, he said in his heart: "It should be almost over, and after another sweep, he closed the door and left the canteen." ”
When Ye Jiu came to the cafeteria, people had already started eating!
After eating, Ye Jiu found Qin Erzhong and said, "Old Qin, I don't know what you asked me to do." ”
Qin Lao said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing to do, just wait a minute, there is a batch of grain to be transported, it will arrive in half an hour, I also called a few people, you and they will be transported to the warehouse to be put away, is there a problem?" ”
"Good! No questions. ”
Half an hour later, the convoy delivering grain arrived, and Ye Jiu and the others began to work, and after they got the grain off the car, they moved it to the warehouse one by one, and it was already midnight when it was put away.
On the first day of arriving at the border pass, Ye Jiu was tired, and when he returned to the firewood room to rest, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground and fell asleep weakly.
