Except for the old man Du and Tianbao who enjoyed the barbecue, everyone else felt that it was a piece of cake.
The old man is used to seeing life and death unaffected.
Tianbao is emotionally indifferent and doesn't feel much empathy. Being able to feel a little bit is already a huge improvement.
After several people finished eating, Duandao came back exhausted. Although he was tired, his eyes were bright and his spirit was different from when he was outside.
The whole person seemed to be glowing.
"The barbecue I left for you." Du Buguo glanced at him and grunted, "You fought with your own soldiers and you looked radiant. Those who didn't know thought you had a wife, and you were so happy."
"On a daily basis, let those soldiers and gangsters know how much you weigh, so as not to rush into the battlefield without thinking." Duandao sat down, took the roasted barbecue and ate it without being particular at all.
Mixing with the soldiers every day, I quickly regained the familiarity of leading the soldiers. Although it is boring day after day, it can always make people excited.
Very fulfilling.
Su An stared at him, watching him eat a large piece of rabbit meat cleanly, "Uncle Broken Knife, your soldiers said that you live and eat with them. Now that you are here eating barbecue, does that count as carrying something on your back?" Are they turning on a small stove?"
The corners of Duandao's lips curled up, "Are you waiting for my army here? You guys brought this food, you didn't take it privately from the kitchen. If I eat it, it doesn't count as cooking."
"...Uncle Broken Blade, I thought you would not eat in order to maintain your prestige." Su Wen was so sorry.
The man patted him on the head unceremoniously with his big hand, just like he did when he was a child, "Since I'm not running a small kitchen, why can't I eat delicious food? The general's prestige is earned by marching in the army, not by enduring hardship."
"In that case, why does Uncle Broken Blade live and eat with the soldiers?" Tianbao tilted his head, puzzled.
The general has special provisions, and if he is full and strong, he will have a better chance of winning in battle.
It's better than being half-starved.
Duandao smiled, a rare smile, open-minded and generous, "Because after taking off the general's robe, I am also a soldier."
The old man was silent for a moment, then handed over another piece of barbecue, "Hey! The old man's secret treasure! I originally wanted to keep it for a midnight snack!"
The children followed suit and handed over the uneaten pieces of meat and fresh fruits, "There are more here, eat more, fill your stomach and continue training tomorrow! There are also fruits! This is really a private treasure." Good thing, Uncle Broken Knife, after you finish eating, bury the core so no one finds it!"
More than half of the food in front of him had been bitten, and there were clear teeth marks on a certain juicy pear. He took them one by one with the broken knife, and laughter overflowed from his chest.
The military camp was not quiet in the middle of the night. There were voices and laughter everywhere.
The general's smile merged into it, bold and free.
The young and old people beside the fire also started laughing.
This was another side of Uncle Broken Knife that they had never seen before, and they felt very good about it.
After a small gathering with the old man and the children, Broken Blade left to rest in the camp where the soldiers slept.
His coach's tent was temporarily given to the old man and the children, while the three little girls slept in the newly built tent next to it. The bedding was brought out by Tianbao, which was relatively clean.
Even Broken Dao didn't want the three little girls to use the bedrolls used by the soldiers. There were not many clean men in the military camp. It was common for them to go without a bath for ten and a half months, which was extremely shabby.
This is the second night for the young and old to stay in the military camp.
Can't sleep.
Especially Bai Yu.
During this time of injury, Bai Yu felt that he was being marginalized by his friends.
They didn't take him with them to chat and chat over the barbecue. They just tied him up in the tent and made him sleep day and night.
As the night gets darker, the surroundings gradually become quiet, and only the snoring of horses can be heard in the distance.
Night chatter spread from the manager’s tent.
It's just that the conversation was too low, and you couldn't really hear it from a little further away.
Once again, the sound of the wind covered me up, and I couldn't hear anything anymore.
At Mao hour the next day, it was not yet dawn.
The whistle sounded again.
The soldiers were fully dressed and rushed to the drill ground quickly.
When the troops were counted, there were eight more men in the first battalion.
They were wearing soldiers' uniforms that they had stolen from somewhere. They were either too long or too short. Some of them wore hats that were too big. When their heads moved, the hats would slide down and cover the whole thing.
The lieutenants, who were nearly fifty years old and several years old, invited the coach over.
"It's nonsense. How can military training be a joke? You eight, get out of the queue! Leave immediately!" Duandao looked at the eight familiar faces, his expression became serious, and his head hurt as much as the deputy general's.
He looked at the old man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks under his soldier's hat, and his face had more folds than his eyebrows. He couldn't hold up the big hat with his bird's nest head, and bunches of it poked out from under the brim of the hat. "The most outrageous thing is you! How can you join in the fun at your age?" ? The oldest soldier in our camp is only around fifty years old! All soldiers over sixty years old must be repatriated! You are expensive this year!"
Poison Buguo said, "Report to the general! Even if the old man is over seventy years old, if you pick a young and strong man from the barracks, he may be able to fight fifty moves in the hands of the old man! Why do you look down on the old man? I can fight!"
The younger ones moved forward, "We can fight too!"
Duandao's face became darker, "The military camp has military camp rules! No matter you can fight or not, if you are not a soldier of the Yuan Family Army, you cannot stay here! Tianbao, take Grandpa Poison and leave with the others!"
Tianbao did not move, "Uncle Duandao, we are not here to mess around, we are here to train together to defeat Wen Renjing."
Bai Yu took a step forward and said, "Report to the general! This time the general went to Shu Road alone to rescue us and provoked the Nine Kingdoms. This incident started because of us, how can we stay out of it? When this matter is over, we will leave without the general chasing us. . And leaving us here will definitely not hurt anything! Doesn’t the general have to train his troops every day? The eight of us can train with you, and the new rules may be more effective in improving the soldiers! Please allow us to stay, general!"
Wheat Sui immediately followed the formation, "Besides, Uncle Broken Knife said that the military camp has its own rules. Doesn't it count as breaking the rules if you bring eight of us outsiders into the camp? Since you can make an exception once, why can't you make an exception a second time? Well?"
Broken Blade put his hands behind his back and glared at the eight people in front of him, his eyes flashing.
The lieutenant general had been watching and listening. After thinking for a while, he came closer to the general and said, "General, how about they leave a place for training? It's really not a bad thing. Maybe it can really make them come up with something new with those soldiers? Then? Then look at everyone, everyone is in high spirits, waiting to fight."
The sky is getting brighter.
The soldiers on the drill ground all stood upright, and each one twisted their necks to look this way. Especially those who heard the conversation here were already eager to try.
The first ray of light from the sky shone in Duandao's eyes, catching a flash of smile in his eyes.
"In that case, let's make a rule. You have to train with the soldiers, and I will treat you like new recruits! You will eat whatever they eat, and you will be treated in whatever environment they are in. If you can do it, just do it. Leave!"
Eight people said in unison, "Yes!"
"Come in! Start the drill!"
"yes!"
