Jiang Cheng stretched out his fingers, gently fanned away the smell of rotting flesh in front of his nose, and asked puzzledly: "Brother Heilin, these soldiers may have been dead for a long time! Why did someone bury them in a mass grave before? instead of letting their families come and bury them?"

Hei Lin said bitterly: "We who fight with devils are not as relaxed as the young master in your house, we work hard every day, from morning to night, sometimes we can't close our eyes, we don't eat like food, and after some die, only those who are officers may still be remembered, some small soldiers, or people who have been framed are on the mass graves, and some people don't even know their names." ”

Xiao Xiaoen endured this disgusting taste and asked, "Old boy, do you don't know any of these people?"

"That's nature, I'll drag them here together, anyway, this is also a big empty ancient tomb, idle is idle. I also collected a lot of guns, and some people thought they couldn't use them anymore, but I gradually improved them and they all became new weapons. Heilin said with a hint of pride.

Jiang Cheng: "In the box on Ah Xiu's side before, it was your improved gun, right?"

Heilin: "That's right, there are a few soldiers who didn't die in battle, who followed me as bandits in the mountains for a period of time, robbing the rich and helping the poor, and also took some guns from the deserters and Japanese soldiers, and I also improved them." But these are just some of my hobbies, and they can't be put on the scene. I wanted to return these things to the troops, but they treated me like a dead man, and kept saying that I was a corpse, and no one would pay attention to me. ”

Xiao Xiaoen couldn't help but laugh and said: "Old boy, you, the person who led the troops to fight, are obviously a big living person, I don't think anyone is jealous of you? I deliberately don't want you to return to the army!"

Jiang Cheng said: "Actually, I also guess this, what is the secret of Brother Heilin?

Jiang Cheng saw that Hei Lin was still speechless, so he didn't ask more, but gently looked at the dead bodies through the light of the wall lamp.

Some have been air-dried, and some are only bones left. A few of them were not completely corrupted, and their deaths were not miserable, some of them looked like they had been stabbed and shot, and some of them had obvious marks of being kicked with fists and feet......

"Brother Heilin, do you know the cause of death of these people, are they really all killed on the battlefield?"

Hei Lin looked at Young Master Jiang's sincere gaze at him, so he said slowly: "Those few people are not miserable, they committed suicide and died. Those who were hit by knives and guns generally went to the battlefield, and those who were punched and kicked were beaten in the ring when they were fighting kung fu with the Japanese. ”

Xiao Xiaoen was surprised: "It's really unheard of for your troops to fight the Japanese in the ring, it's so unusual." ”

Jiang Cheng had also participated in the fight in the ring before, so all this was not unusual to him, but those few people who committed suicide were very strange, and he asked: "Dare to ask Brother Heilin, how can the people in the army commit suicide like this? Aren't they all brave and good at fighting? This kind of person who can't think of it doesn't have the quality of a soldier!"

Hei Lin said helplessly: "Several of them are from young masters, they are not used to the hardships of the army, they were arranged to stay up all night on the battlefield, they really couldn't stand it, so they drank a kind of soup to relieve fatigue, who knew that they would die, but their families did not agree to take their bones back to the family cemetery, because the poison in them would be contagious." ”

Xiao Xiaoen asked in surprise: "Poison, how can anyone dare to poison the people in the army?"

Jiang Cheng: "Yes, Brother Heilin, which team does your unit belong to?"

Hei Lin seemed reluctant to mention the past, but he still sighed slightly, and said: "My unit, I was an officer before, they all obeyed my orders, I have a group of good brothers, since I was shot, some people said that I am a ghost, so the Xiao family temporarily took my place, and said that their young master would be promoted to the cavalry team in the future." ”

Xiao Xiaoen: "Cavalry team, are you talking about Young Master Xiao Bai?"

Jiang Cheng was a little unaccustomed to hearing this harsh name: "Within a radius of a hundred miles, the largest Xiao family is his family." ”

Hei Lin seemed to remember something, and said, "It's this person, I heard a passing merchant mention his name, saying that neither father nor son is a fuel-efficient lamp." That Xiao Mansion let Xiao Bai enter the cavalry team smoothly all the way, and he formed a gang to win over my brothers. But my brothers are all suitable for fighting in the mountains and on land, and many of them are not skilled in equestrianism, unlike the young masters of those big families, who have ridden horses well since childhood. Most of the brothers are loyal to me, and they will definitely not agree to be co-opted by him, some are poor peasants, and the Xiao family naturally looks down on them, some have been demoted, and some have gone directly to the battlefield to fight devils, and there are fewer people sitting in good posts. ”

Xiao Xiaoen: "This ...... How can this be reasonable, then Master Xiao is really not a good thing. ”

Young Master Jiang knew the grievances he had received in the Xiao Mansion before, so he didn't have to say anything at the moment, and gently patted him on the shoulder to express comfort.

......

Rain Temple.

The protégés were dissatisfied with the little dragon's roaring attack, and then went back to their rooms to rest.

In the huge courtyard, only a few of them remained.

Xiaolong was quite proud of his approach. He sat next to Wu Chen: "How about it? You can let them go back to rest without much effort, I learned a trick from my father, it works!"

Wu Chen knew that he was sarcastic about himself, because he had many disciples, but most of the disciples didn't know this flying technique, and Xiaolong didn't learn it for long before he was very skilled, he had always been surprised, this kind of kung fu with immediate results, was it really taught by his stingy father?

Wu Chen wanted to observe whether there were any flaws in his kung fu, so he deliberately said: "Since you are good at flying and spinning, then please invite Miss Lan down! ”

Xiaolong looked at the steamer and the sling on it, and smiled disdainfully: "This matter is simple, I will come when I go." ”

The disciple of the Falling Rain Hall who served tea said in a low voice: "Master, this person is really too frivolous. ”

Zhao Yuyan, the adopted girl, hid behind Wu Chen's chair as if she was watching the excitement, poked her head out to look at it at the moment, and whispered: "Does the master want to use this person to put that sister down?"

Wu Chen sneered: "You'll know later." ”

The little dragon flew into the air, levitating and looking at the blue girl, looking at this girl so closely, she looked more and more handsome, but because she was trapped by the heat of the steamer just now, she felt a little tired.
