next morning
The mountains are filled with mist
It was August, even though we were in the south, but the cool autumn weather was inevitable.
The slight mountain breeze blew, bringing a little chill.
Zhang Rui walked out of the tent early. Although he ordered mosquito repellent incense last night, the smell was not very good.
Even though he is a time traveler, Zhang Rui still doesn't realize that he has any special abilities. If not, it's just that my memory is slightly better and my strength is stronger.
But how effective can these be? There is no system, no artificial intelligence, and you cannot travel back and forth.
The important thing is that I am alone, I have no relatives or brothers, and I don’t know who my trusted confidants are.
Nowadays, he can barely survive in the "prosperous age", but he has to take the path of rebellion again. Now he is still on the list, and it will be impossible if he doesn't rebel.
An ordinary person can't sleep well when he encounters some troublesome things, not to mention Zhang Rui has so many troublesome things in his heart, so Zhang Rui naturally doesn't sleep much all night.
"Brother Six, are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer." When the team members on patrol saw Zhang Rui, they naturally went up to salute and say hello.
Although Zhang Rui did not allow the bandit suppression team members to kneel down and worship, basic team etiquette was still inevitable.
"Yes, the weather is nice. It's refreshing and pleasant. I also want to get up and watch the sunrise in the mountains?" Zhang Rui said slowly after giving a team salute.
"You are on patrol now? Thank you for your hard work."
"Compared to Sixth Brother, our hard work is nothing!" Xiao Qi from the patrol team said with some emotion.
"Don't belittle yourself." Zhang Rui replied
"Belittle oneself? What is it?" Xiaoqi asked nervously as he didn't understand. He thought he had done something wrong and made Zhang Rui say the word "no"
After hearing Xiao Qi ask this, Zhang Rui remembered. Although I asked my husband to teach them calligraphy, they were all people who had never read any books. Naturally, I don’t understand the meaning of these idioms.
"That is to say, you can't just erase your own achievements..." Zhang Rui could only explain it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
After Zhang Rui's simple explanation, Xiaoqi expressed his understanding again and again.
At the same time, the entire patrol team gained a new understanding of Zhang Rui's "profound knowledge".
"Sure enough, Sixth Brother is an extraordinary person."
The patrol team members all thought in their hearts:
"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work! I'll take a look around too." Zhang Rui said to the patrol.
"Okay, Sixth Brother. How many brothers will I assign to help you?" Xiao Qi asked suggestively.
"No, I'll just walk around. With you and the brothers from the scout team, I feel at ease here." Zhang Rui said in refusal.
"Yes, thank you Brother Six for your trust, then we will continue patrolling." Xiao Qi said to Zhang Rui with some emotion. Then he turned around and shouted to those who were still standing in line:
"Brothers, did you hear that? We can't betray Brother Six's trust, so keep your spirits up."
"yes…"
All the team members responded in unison
Watching them leave, Zhang Rui suddenly felt a little relieved. I am not completely "alone", at least I still have them.
"What a group of young and good guys." As he said this, Zhang Rui suddenly wanted to laugh again, as if he was old.
Afterwards, Zhang Rui shook his head and walked around the camp.
The cool breath always invigorates people.
Even so, I was harassed by mountain mosquitoes all night last night. I had stayed up all night and was extremely sleepy. Just take advantage of the sunrise in the morning, when the mountain mosquitoes have left one after another, and get some sleep.
Naturally, they were not in Zhang Rui's mood to "watch the sunrise". If you have this time, you might as well sleep more and be more energetic.
While Zhang Rui was walking around on patrol, a bandit suppression team member suddenly came to find him.
"Brother Six, there are two scholar-looking people outside the camp. They claim to be from Jiangxi and want to come and join you. I don't know if I should let them in, so I came here to ask you if you want to bring them with you. Are they coming?" asked the team member who came to find him.
"Scholar?" After listening to the team member's words, Zhang Rui's brain did not turn around and he was stunned. Then there was some confusion:
"Where did the scholar come from to find me so early and want to defect to me?!
"Is it because the domineering spirit in me leaked out? I made others bow down and worship me?" Having imagined this, Zhang Rui couldn't help but secretly rejoice. But he thought about it carefully and shook his head.
"How is this possible? I didn't do anything. Not to mention conquering the county town, I didn't even conquer a small village. Where did the domineering spirit leak out?"
The team members looked at Zhang Rui who was stunned and didn't speak, thinking that he was not happy. So he said to Zhang Rui: "Brother Six, if you don't like it, I will drive them away immediately."
"Oh, no, it's not that I don't like it, I just don't understand it." Zhang Rui hurriedly stopped the team member and said
"Did they say their specific names?"
"Well, I came here in a hurry and forgot to ask." The team member touched his head in embarrassment and said, "How about I go and find out more about it now and then come over and tell Brother Six?"
"No, you lead the way, and I'll go with you! It will save you a few trips back and forth." Zhang Rui said with concern.
"Yes, Brother Six." After listening to Zhang Rui's words, the team member said with some emotion. After all, such a great person as Sixth Brother still cares about himself so much.
In fact, how did he know that Zhang Rui was thinking: If these two people are capable, they might become a good story in the future. Even if their abilities are average, borrowing their reputation as scholars can have the effect of "selling horse bones for a thousand gold."
Now Zhang Rui really didn't notice the scholar who was willing to come over and seek refuge with him.
Therefore, there is no reason why he should not pay attention to it.
Under the leadership of this team member, Zhang Rui quickly arrived at the location of the two scholars outside the camp.
"Two gentlemen are polite. I am Zhang Rui. I don't know how to call these two gentlemen. What do you mean by this?" Under the guidance of the team member, Zhang Rui bowed in front of the two waiting for him and saluted.
When Zhang Rui turned around, he also looked at the two of them.
The two scholars were both over 1.6 meters tall, and one of them was slightly taller than the other by two inches.
Both of them are relatively strong, so life at home will not be too bad. Zhang Rui looked at it and couldn't figure out the reason why they wanted to follow him in rebellion. If they didn't read about the "problem" in their studies, they might have some grudge against the Manchus.
Wearing traditional scholar clothes, with the money hanging rat tail on his head, he looked very awkward.
Both of them looked tired, presumably because they didn't sleep well last night. But it's understandable. After all, in this barren mountainous place, coming here so early means that they were feeding mosquitoes last night.
Zhang Rui turned around and found that the two of them were actually looking at his hair, a little dazed?
