Chapter 81 Dead Soldiers
The two of them checked carefully for a while, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay, there are just some bruises. The little kid didn't lie. It can be seen that he came from a poor man, and his body is strong." At the moment, the two of them stood side by side, After rubbing the dog for a while, he let go and said, "Look, kid, can you move your arms?"
Gouzi tried to shake his arm, with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands: "I thanked the elder, it's no big deal."
"It can't be done." One of the two is missing an arm, and the other's hands are normal, but his leg must have been broken and not reconnected, so he walks with a limp. "It seems that I and others are at fault. Something is really going to happen. It's really shameless to face that Feng Langjun and your grandma."
There was a hint of loneliness on Gouzi's face, and he shook his head slightly: "There are only my mother and son in the family, and the rest of my relatives are gone."
Gouzi's words silenced the veterans. After a while, Veteran Scar stepped forward, gently touched the dog's head, sighed, and cursed in a low voice: "This **** world!"
"God has been kind to the boy. Although he has no other relatives, he has allowed the boy to meet his master after all." Gouzi looked at it openly, raised his head and smiled, "Now he lives like a human being, unlike before. , worse than an animal."
As soon as these words came out, several veterans raised their thumbs: "That's right, I'm really confident."
“Baby, tell me, as long as you become a Zhuangzi, all children can be literate?” The scarred veteran remembered what happened just now, bent down and asked eagerly.
“That’s not necessarily true.” Gouzi shook his head.
“Why are you saying it’s not certain again?” Old Scar said anxiously, “Didn’t you just say that this is the rule of the dealer?”
“That was before.” Gouzi smiled slyly and said with a wink, “Didn’t a group of people come here a few days ago? Their children were not so lucky.”
"Liaoren, Liaoren, that counts as..." Scared Old Soldier just started to say. He seemed to think of something and sighed. He didn't say anything more. He just asked again, "Then what are the rules now?"
"This boy doesn't know. He has to ask his master to find out." Gouzi shook his head, then bowed and saluted, "Elders, please have a meal first, and I will come and take care of you later."
After saying this, he took the baby behind him and left, leaving only the veterans looking at each other.
“This Zhuangzi is not simple.”
Someone said something with emotion.
"Have you seen those children? They are all arranged in an orderly manner on the road. At this point, I am afraid they are better than the auxiliary soldiers in the procession."
"Shit! During this journey, how many regular soldiers can get out of such ranks?"
“Stop arguing, come over and eat first.” Veteran Scar shouted, “Didn’t you complain that you were hungry just now? Why don’t you want to eat now?”
Everybody gathered around and took their belongings to prepare for eating.
"Is this the life of a noble person?" Everyone stared at the round and white steamed buns, and some people took a gulp of water, "This can be regarded as three meals a day."
"This round pancake is so fragrant, sweet and soft. I have never tasted such delicious food in my life!" The person who got the steamed bun couldn't wait to take a big bite, chewed hard for a few times, and said vaguely. said.
“Brother Lu, isn’t this kind of food not to your taste?” The lame veteran who rubbed Gouzi’s shoulders understood clearly and came over to ask.
Veteran Scar gave a bitter smile, looked at the steamed buns in his hands, and said, "Don't say that we have never eaten such good food in our lives. Even when we were in the army, even the generals didn't see them eating it. ? I was thinking, since Fengzhuang is so good, what can we do that makes others like it? If I can't think of it, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait long for this meal. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was eating steamed buns couldn't help but stop.
"I have been rolling around on the battlefield for most of my life, fighting for my life with the King of Hell. Apart from swinging a knife to kill people, what else can I do?" The lame veteran also nodded, "With this white round cake, how many people can't come? ? Do you have to ask someone like us who is missing arms and legs? You have to think about it carefully, otherwise you can’t figure out what this master means, how can you stand firm? "
“Could it be that you are interested in our killing skills?” Someone asked tentatively.
Scar Veteran's eyes lit up, he slapped his thigh and shouted, "That's right!" He stood up and looked around, and urged again and again, "Bring the food inside, and don't let anyone listen."
Several people moved all the things into the cave in a hurry, leaving one person to stand guard at the entrance of the cave. Then they gathered together. Veteran Scar said in a low voice: "Besides the killing skills in our hands, we have nothing else." I have the ability. I estimate that the master is most likely interested in our skills. I heard that wealthy families like to raise dead soldiers. Do you think Feng Langjun thinks the same way? "
“Do you still want us to work for him?”
The lame veteran sneered: "In this world, except for being born into a wealthy family, who doesn't have to work hard? People like us can't even do the work in the fields as well as women. Is it possible that we really want others to live in vain? With us?"
"What the old lame said is right. In this world of football, who doesn't have to work hard to survive? If you don't die on the battlefield, you are lucky. If you can live one more day, you will earn one more day. Since it is all about working hard. , then it depends on whether the sale of this life is worth it. Let’s talk about it, it’s really the case, do you want to agree?”
Everyone was silent for a while, and then someone said jokingly: "Just these two round cakes, that's definitely not going to work."
“There is also this earth hole…”
“Yes, yes, if you want to eat meat, you have to buy two sets of clothes, right? You need leather boots...”
“Don’t say such useless things. Let’s talk first. If you really want us to sacrifice our lives, do you want to agree?”
“Didn’t Brother Lu just say that? With our humble life, if we live one more day, we will earn one more day. As long as we can eat these round cakes every day and add some meat, then even death will be considered worthwhile.”
Someone said nonchalantly.
“What do you think, old lame?”
The lame veteran took a bite of the white-flour steamed bun, chewed it carefully, and then said: "It depends on how Feng Langjun arranges the family members of his colleagues. We are all alone and have nothing to worry about, but back then We all promised those comrades who blocked the bullets for us to take good care of their families. If Feng Langjun can really make them eat well, even if we risk our lives, we will be considered worthy of death when we get down there. The brother has an explanation."
"This makes sense." The scar-faced veteran nodded and looked around at everyone, "We all escaped from the battlefield together with our lives. We really regret our lives, and we can understand. While the matter is still undecided, Come down, if you want to quit, just leave early, I won’t blame you. If you don’t leave now, you will shrink from the battle in the future, causing harm not only to yourself, but also to the family members of those who are in the same robe, don’t blame me as a brother No mercy."
No one said anything.
In the end, it was the scar-faced veteran who spoke: "Okay, it seems that we are brothers of life and death, and this matter is settled."
“What if we are not asked to be a dead soldier?”
"You have a donkey's hair in your mind? Wouldn't it be a good thing not to be a dead soldier? Wouldn't it be a good thing to eat white flour round cakes until you die?"
