A squad of sergeants was struggling to move forward.

By this time the weather was getting colder, and although the sergeants were dressed in Imperial uniforms, they were all tattered and unclothed, more like a group of beggars.

Each person carried a huge bamboo basket with large and small stones in the basket, which looked like a group of human flesh transporters.

"Oh!

A young sergeant in the team seemed to have reached the limit of his physical strength, and his leg was out of strength, and he could no longer support it and sat back and fell to the ground, spilling the stones carried in the bamboo basket on his back.

"Young master, you go to the tree to rest for a while, and the old servant will help you finish the rest of the share!" The middle-aged sergeant with a long beard who was in his forties next to him first unloaded the heavy bamboo basket on his back and helped the young man to sit under the tree by the roadside.

The young sergeant said with some guilt: "Then there is Uncle Lauda, I am too useless." ā€

The middle-aged sergeant named Uncle Da smiled respectfully and said, "It's okay, the old servant is used to doing these rough jobs. Young master, you rest first. With that, he turned around and rejoined the delivery team.

The young sergeant sat on the side of the road, knocked on his numb calf, and said in his heart: X, others are eating and drinking spicy food, but I have moved bricks here for a year inexplicably!

The young man was originally the only son of Xu Yiqing, the prime minister of the Feiyun Empire, and lived a life of fine clothes and food.

However, more than a year ago, Xu Yiqing was charged with rebellion, and the saint even gave him a pot of poisoned wine. Xu Yiqing's family of eight all drank poisoned wine and died. However, that night, Xu Yiqing's only son came back from the dead, of course, this is no longer the gentleman from before, but a soul that crossed from the earth, named Lin Luo.

All the servants of the Xu family were assigned to serve in the army, and the loyal servant Xu Da asked Lin Luo, who escaped by luck, to pretend to be his nephew, and just changed his name and surname to use his real name on the earth, and went to this city to join the army together.

Lin Luo didn't dare to reveal his identity at all, if he knew that the poisonous wine did not poison him, it was estimated that he would be beheaded directly this time.

said that he was in the army, but he did not have the treatment of ordinary sergeants at all, and could only be regarded as hard labor in the army, specializing in some heavy work such as transporting soldiers' armor, carrying grain and grass, and digging ditches with stones. Now the walls of this city need to be strengthened and renovated, and it is necessary to carry large stones from the stone quarry more than ten miles away, which is extremely hard.

Lin Luo found that his body was abnormally weak after crossing, fused with his past memories, and knew that the second ancestor had not done anything serious for more than ten years, although the prime minister Xu Yiqing had a strict family education, the second ancestor did not learn well at all, neither liked to read nor practiced martial arts, and made some small things every day drinking and playing with girls and birds.

Now that he has fallen into this kind of heavy physical labor, his body is weak and he can't adapt to it at all, and the food in the army is extremely poor, although Lin Luoqiang gritted his teeth and insisted, he still couldn't complete the task of quarrying ten baskets of stones every day. One basket of stones is the punishment of ten lashes. The next day after the punishment, the quarrying task must be completed as usual.

With Lin Luo's current physical strength, he can complete six or seven baskets a day at most.

The punishment of thirty lashes, if the executing captain was merciless, Lin Luo would be beaten to death in less than three days. If it weren't for Xu Da's full maintenance, he would have to help Lin Luo make up for the difference after completing his own share, Lin Luo would have hung up a long time ago.

Xu Da used to be the steward of the Xu Mansion, and was responsible for all matters such as Lin Luo's daily life and life, it can be said that since Lin Luo was born, all the eating, drinking, and Lazar expenses were handled by Xu Da, and even Lin Luo did those bastard things outside.

When the two of them arrived in such a field now, Xu Da still took care of Lin Luo as a servant, without the slightest slackness.

Lin Luo vaguely remembered the last moment of his previous life, he was staying up late in the office to work overtime to write code, and suddenly he had a headache and a blur of consciousness and came to this world.

I didn't expect to come to this other world, and I still can't get rid of the fate of this tired dog!

Alas!

Lin Luo looked up at the sky and sighed.

When will this broken day be the end?

As the sun sets, the day's work is coming to an end.

"It's time to put the meal!" The fat Huotou Army shouted while banging on the gong: "Today is the beginning of the month, two big white-faced steamed buns for one person! It's really cheap for you dogs!"

The hard soldiers hurriedly threw down the burden on their backs and rushed up to grab the food first.

Their food on weekdays is extremely poor, except for two or three coarse grain steamed buns, which are just a few bowls of bland rice porridge, or the regular sergeants eat leftover rice and add some aged rancid rice to make it.

The laborers do heavy labor every day, and they don't care about it at all, and they eat no different from monsters. It's good to have something to eat, after all, many people were sent to the army only because they committed the crime of killing their heads.

For these hard labors, the work of this firehead army is not meticulous enough to distribute the amount of food to everyone accurately, and it will be gone if it is too late.

Lin Luo dragged his stiff body step by step to the meal point, if he wanted to eat steamed buns, he probably didn't have them, just drink some leftover porridge to satisfy his hunger.

I saw that in the open space in front of the meal order, several strong sergeants were punching and kicking around a person. These men were gangsters who had committed homicide and had been recruited into the army, and they were strong enough to oppress others.

The others squatted around, swallowing their steamed buns as fast as they could while watching the play, with gloating expressions on their faces, as long as they didn't find themselves, they were lucky, who would go up to meddle?

The leading hooligan kicked and said fiercely: "Hand over the steamed buns!"

"Don't give it, don't give it! I won't give it if you kill me!" The beaten man knelt on the ground, curled his body, and tightly protected the steamed bun in his arms with both hands, and listened to the voice It was Lin Luo's loyal servant Uncle Da.

The sergeants who beat people said in unison: "Okay! If you want to eat steamed buns, you have to be beaten up!"

Bang bang, bang, punches and kicks, raindrops fell on Uncle Da. Uncle Da didn't snort, just protected the steamed bun in his arms.

Lin Luo hurriedly rushed forward and shouted urgently: "Stop! The general is here!"

As soon as the hooligans heard that the general was coming, they all scolded and dispersed, regardless of whether it was true or not. Uncle Da still shrunk into a ball and did not move, for fear that the steamed buns would be snatched away.

Lin Luo threw himself to the ground, helped him up and said, "Uncle Da, are you okay?"

Uncle Da looked over to see that the hooligans had dispersed, so he straightened up and said with a smile: "Young master, I'm fine." "There was a bright red spell between the teeth.

Lin Luo couldn't bear to say: "Alas, Uncle Da, you too, if they want steamed buns, give them to them, it's not worth taking such a beating." ā€

Uncle Da smiled: "It's okay, my body is tough, just sleep for this little injury." He took out two still warm white-flour steamed buns from his arms, handed them to Lin Luo and said, "Come on, young master, eat while it's hot." You're weak, and you can't get used to eating these leftovers. ā€

Lin Luo almost burst into tears when he heard this, but his stomach made a cooing sound, here he only has two meals a day, morning and evening, and he is already hungry by now.

Lin Luo had to take one steamed bun with tears in his eyes and insisted that Uncle Da eat the other. Uncle Da pushed for a long time, but he couldn't scratch Lin Luo's insistence, so he had to nod and eat another steamed bun.

"Uncle Da, if it weren't for your care for the past year, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived today, either I was cut off by the government, or I wandered alone and didn't know what barren mountains and mountains I died. If I can have a prosperous day, I will not forget it. If I have a steamed bun in Lin Luo, there will be a steamed bun for Uncle Da and you. ā€

Uncle Da smiled and said: "Young Master Ji Ren Tianxiang, he will be able to make a comeback one day!" After that, he sighed again, "If the old man hadn't picked me up from the side of the road back then, I wouldn't have known where the reimbursement would have been." Now that the old man has been murdered by a traitor, fortunately you survived, young master. Even if I Xu Da gives up this old life, I must protect the young master, otherwise he will have the face to see the master one day!"

Lin Luo was silent when he heard this, and secretly vowed in his heart that he could not be so decadent again, even if it was so difficult now, he had to find a way to break out.
