"Don't make any noise, this game is considered a draw." The veteran with the scar on his face hurriedly came out to talk to him.
When he shouted, the hut became quiet.
Everyone's eyes fell on the innocent face of Ren Ning in the middle.
Tieguai Li came over and looked him up and down with interest, "The young man is not bad looking. What is his name, how old is he, and where are he from?"
Ren Ning was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and replied, "Back to the old general. This kid, Ren Ning, is seventeen years old. He is from Xingluo. He grew up in the imperial capital."
"Xingluo is good." Tieguai Li smiled broadly and seemed not to have heard what Ren Ning said later. "When the old man was young, he was pulled out of dead bodies by Xingluo's brothers several times."
He thought about it for a while, then turned to look at the military uniform on Ren Ning: "Seventeen, you became a personal guard at a young age. Little brother has a bright future."
"Are you engaged?" His expression was even more cordial.
"This..." Ren Ning looked strange.
There's something wrong with this style of painting.
Boom!
The one-eyed dragon on the opposite side slammed the machete in his hand.
He sarcastically said, "Li Guaizi, are you proposing to your eldest granddaughter again?"
"Don't bother. Don't you think it's despicable to use your eldest granddaughter's old girl to harm my little brother Ren?"
"Go, go, go." Tieguai Li didn't share his experience, but still looked at Ren Ning with a smile.
"Although my eldest granddaughter is a bit older, in terms of appearance, she is top-notch in her hometown. And as the saying goes, a female junior holds a gold nugget. The older a woman is, the more painful she will be..."
cough!
Ren Ning coughed, interrupting Tieguai Li's ramblings.
"Thank you, old general, for your kindness. I'm already engaged. So..."
Nowadays, girls’ families usually talk about marriage as soon as they have hair extensions. Even Ren Ning's concubine Ren Xi was already engaged when she was only thirteen. This situation abounds.
As for Tieguai Li's eldest granddaughter, she is now a "junior girl" with Ren Ning, so there are at least twenty of them.
A girl of this age is not yet married yet, yet she still claims to have first-rate looks. Tieguai Li's words are unconvincing.
Ha ha.
The one-eyed dragon patted Ren Ning's shoulder happily.
"They say that a good man must start a family first and then a career. The young man really has a future, and he doesn't give some people the slightest hope."
He laughed and stretched out his hand, "Bring me the list of mourners."
The fuss had already delayed a lot of time, so Ren Ning quickly handed over the excerpted list.
The one-eyed dragon waved and led him to a large sand table, "Do you recognize where the sand table is?"
"I admit it." Ren Ning was surprised.
The sand table in front of you is about the size of two Eight Immortals tables, and it is very exquisitely made. It is almost like scaling down every slope and ditch in Xiaotian Garden and then stacking them into shapes.
As he watched, Ren Ning's eyes flashed.
Compared with the graffiti-like "map" in the hands of the three patriarchs of Kailun, the exquisite sand table in his eyes is thousands of times more accurate.
It’s true that one side is military and the other side is civilian.
The difference is huge and extremely obvious.
"Li Minggui, from Xingluo County, number 540385." One-eyed Dragon looked at the first name on the list and muttered.
"Boy Ren, watch out! I'll teach you how to find Li Minggui's grave."
"The first five in the number represents the fifth hill. One, two, three, four, five, that is this hill."
"Understood." Ren Ning looked at the numbers of the hills on the sand table and nodded quickly.
"The second digit of the number represents the direction, that is, southeast, northwest, and the fourth digit represents the northern area."
"That's it." Ren Ning suddenly realized.
"The three or four digits in the number represent the row number of the cemetery. Counting from top to bottom, Li Minggui's number is zero three, which is the third row."
"The last two digits are the number of the grave. There is no need for the old man to say more."
"Understood." Ren Ning nodded and quickly memorized every step.
After a while, he asked a few more questions and made sure he understood everything before thanking the veterans in the room and leaving the hut.
Before going out, Tieguai Li caught up with him.
"Brother Ren, you are just engaged but not married. Do you really not want to consider my eldest granddaughter? She is both talented and beautiful, knowledgeable and gifted, and has a generous dowry. As long as you consider..."
Ren Ning didn't listen and ran away.
There were a few more teams of fortress soldiers outside the house.
Everyone stared at him who had just come out of the hut, their eyes full of curious inquiry.
cough.
Ren Ning coughed and walked up to Gu Datou and the others as if nothing happened, "Lei Er hasn't come back yet?"
"not yet."
"The road is a bit far and it will take some time."
"It should be soon. Lei Er's horse is called Ben Lei, and it's also a good horse. It won't take long to come and go."
Just talking
Ta-ta-ta-ta.
The sound of rapid horse hooves sounded.
Ren Ning turned to look.
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.
Lei Erzheng led a group of people and ran towards the mountain quickly.
After meeting each other, the people brought by Lei Er detained the unconscious Gu Qishui and the ten Yingchuan soldiers without any reason, and turned around and returned to the fortress.
"Come here, everyone."
Ren Ning led Gu Datou and the others to a place with few people. He broke off a branch and drew a map on the ground.
Without the effort of two cups of tea, he had completely drawn a topographic map of Xiaotian Garden. Even each hill is numbered one by one.
"Awesome." Lei Er got another piece of mutton from nowhere. He raised his thumb while chewing and expressed his approval to Ren Ning.
Like Ren Ning, he is a personal guard of the forward general Guan Luping. They usually train together, and after a few months the two of them have become quite familiar with each other.
During the training, Lei Er didn't see anything outstanding about Ren Ning except for his archery skills. At this moment, I saw that this map alone was not something he could draw.
Ren Ning didn't know what Lei Er was thinking. He explained the coding rules of Cyclops in detail.
"Do you understand? I understand. Let's pick a name for each person to dig the grave. Make sure the grave is dug bigger and deeper, and all the bones and relics of the brothers have to be collected."
He said: "Get moving, it's time to work. If you clean up quickly and it's still early, you can go to the nearby villages for a stroll."
Buzz~
Several people became excited upon hearing this, but no one moved. They all stood there looking at each other, scratching their heads and cheeks anxiously.
Especially Gu Datou.
He had been trying his best to get out of the fortress, just because he wanted to take the opportunity to go to the nearby family village to get some food for his beloved horse.
"Old Ren, I don't know how to read." He was so anxious that he scratched his bare head.
"That's right." Others nodded, "The number above recognizes us, but we don't recognize it."
Ren Ning burst into tears.
He forgot about it for a moment.
Fortunately Lei Er pointed to the last name.
"Jiang Tiansheng, number 932654. This one is the farthest. I'll go."
Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief, "Go ahead. Don't make any mistake."
"When the bell rings in the evening, remember to return to the fortress." He reminded.
Ha ha.
"I know." Lei Er smiled.
He figured out the direction, picked up the mutton in his mouth, carried the hoe, got on his horse and walked away gracefully.
"I'll take you there." Ren Ning looked at the number in his hand, "One for each person. Once you've dug it, you can do whatever you want."
"That's good." Everyone smiled happily, they were waiting for Ren Ning's words.
Because there are horses to travel with, it is not difficult to travel.
Soon only Ren Ning was left in the group, riding Zhuifeng towards the last tomb.
The eighth hill is quite remote.
After going around and around, Ren Ning finally found his goal.
A tomb that looks old.
The mounds of soil were almost blown away by the wind. If it weren't for a number carved on the stone next to it, Ren Ning wouldn't have dared to confirm it for a while.
He glanced at the paper in his hand.
It says that the owner of this tomb died in the war more than three years ago. However, it was only now that he was ready to send him back to his hometown.
It's a little late, but it's better than being buried in a foreign land.
Excavation.
Ren Ning raised his hoe and started digging.
After an unknown amount of time, he was picking up a white bone from the pit and his ears moved.
Not far away, two soldiers digging a grave suddenly dropped their hoes, drew their weapons, and rushed toward him viciously.
However, before the two of them took a few steps, they were surrounded by many people who appeared out of nowhere.
Ding-ding-ding-ding.
After a fierce collision of weapons, the surroundings quickly returned to calm.
