Flower shine camp.
The four sergeants just ran forward and did not see Zhang Tianhe standing here.
When they came closer, they found Zhang Tianhe looking at them with a gloomy face. The four of them quickly stood up in military posture and saluted.
These four people are Sentinel Commander Sun Yu, Chen Lichun, Kong Zhongming and Fatty Yu Shijun.
"We are setting up camp tonight, don't you know?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
"I know." Sentinel Commander Sun Yu said.
"Since you know, why didn't you come back until now? Where is your horse?" Zhang Tianhe asked again.
"The horse is tied in front of the old man's house." Sun Yu pointed at the old man chasing behind him and said.
"Why don't you ride back?"
"The old man chased us, but we didn't have time to mount our horses."
"Why are people chasing you?"
"This——." The four of them bowed their heads and remained silent.
"You smell very drunk. Have you been drinking?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
The four of them remained silent.
"General Zhang is asking you, why don't you speak?" Hua Yao asked.
At this moment, the old man caught up with him, and two other sergeants stopped him and said, "This is an important area of the military camp and you are not allowed to enter."
Zhang Tianhe saw it, waved his hand and said, "Let the old man come in."
The two sergeants then let the old man in.
The old man came to Zhang Tianhe and Hua Yao and asked, "Who is in charge?"
"Old man, this is our Commander Zhang." Hua Yao said.
"Commander Zhang, my surname is Zhou. People call me Lao Zhoutou. I am a native of Taonan. I have never done anything harmful to nature. I am a kind and good citizen. However, tonight, these four of your men The soldier got drunk somewhere and suddenly came to our house. At that time, my daughter was home alone. He molested my daughter on the pretext of looking for water. My daughter was so humiliated that she hanged herself. "Lao Zhoutou pointed at Sun Yu and said.
"Old man, don't be sad yet. If this is indeed the case, we will definitely give you an explanation." Zhang Tianhe comforted him.
"Commander Zhang, you must make the decision for me." Old Zhoutou cried.
Zhang Tianhe asked Sun Yu: "Is what the old man said the truth?"
"Commander Zhang, I entered their house, but I didn't molest his daughter." Sun Yu was so frightened that he knelt down with a plop and said.
"You didn't tease her, why did she hang herself?" Zhang Tianhe asked.
"I just kissed her, how can it be considered molestation?" Sun Yu said.
"What? You kissed someone? Who said this is not molesting a woman? Does it have to be something?" Zhang Tianhe said angrily.
It turned out that after the meeting in the afternoon, Hua Yao called Sun Yu and the four of them over and said, "I'll give you a special task."
"What mission?" Sun Yu asked.
"Here is a prescription that can prevent mosquito bites. You guys go to the pharmacy on Taonan Street to grab some more medicine and come back quickly. We are moving tonight." Hua Yao said.
"I know." Sun Yu took the prescription and looked at it. The words written on it were twisted and he didn't recognize them.
"This is one thousand taels of silver. You should keep it and give the rest to me when you come back." Hua Yao said and handed him another silver note.
"Battal Commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission." Sun Yu took the banknote and put it in his pocket.
Four men mounted four horses and left.
They soon came to the main street of Taonan, found a large Jishi pharmacy, and bought medicine. They had two pockets and spent five hundred taels of silver.
"It's still early, let's go shopping." Sun Yu said.
"Why are you shopping? There's no military pay, and you don't have any money." Yu Shijun said.
"Who said there was no money? I still have five hundred taels of silver, right?" Sun Yu said.
"That's public money, how dare you touch it?" Yu Shijun said.
"We came to buy medicine this time and spent 500 taels of silver. When we went back, we said that we spent 600 taels of silver. We quoted an extra 100 taels of silver. The four of us divided it equally. We treated it as running errands. It’s okay.” Sun Yu said.
"Commander, I'm afraid this won't work. Our Commander Zhang has strict military discipline. If he finds out about this, we won't be able to live with it." Yu Shijun said.
"What are you afraid of? There are four of us. If you don't tell, I don't tell, and everyone doesn't tell, how will Commander Zhang know?" Sun Yu said.
"We are cowards. We don't want this money. If you want it, you can keep it alone." Yu Shijun, Chen Lichun, and Kong Zhongming all said they didn't want it.
"Look at you three cowards, are you afraid of being beaten last time?" Sun Yu laughed at them and said, "If you don't want it, then these one hundred taels of silver will belong to me alone. How about this, it's getting late. I’ll treat everyone to a meal.”
"This is okay." Yu Shijun said.
So, the four of them came to a Chunyue Restaurant. Sun Yu ordered a table of dishes and served two bottles of wine.
"Sergeant, I think we shouldn't drink this wine. There are regulations in the army that drinking is not allowed. The three of us were beaten because we missed something while drinking last time." Yu Shijun said.
"Yes, Commander, stop drinking, let's have something to eat and go back as soon as possible." Chen Lichun said.
"You three are worthless. You were so frightened after being beaten last time? I haven't drank for many days. I'm almost suffocated. If you don't drink, I'll drink alone." Sun Yu said, pouring himself a drink.
"Chief Sentinel, don't we have to move tonight?" Kong Zhongming also said.
"What the hell! Look, how happy we were before. We thought we would be more comfortable when we arrived at Hingquan Mansion. Who knew that Hua Yao was training all day long? He was a lunatic. He wished he didn't have to sleep every day. He could tire people to death. There was no end. There was no ground to train, and then they walked over mountains and rivers to get us here. Just a few days after arriving, we had to change places again. They said they had to go through the mountains. Look, they know how much trouble they have. Where are the Mongolian bandits? ?Is this necessary?" Sun Yu complained.
"Commander, please keep your voice down. Commander Zhang and the battalion commander are all thinking about our safety," Kong Zhongming said.
"How can they be so kind? Rather than thinking about us, they are thinking about the black gauze hat on their heads. They want these brothers to work hard for them so that they can get promoted and get rich." Sun Yu said.
"Commander, what you said is wrong. You are the commander. If Commander Zhang is promoted, won't you also take advantage of it?" Kong Zhongming said.
"That's not necessarily true. Did you see that Commander Zhang only employs his cronies? It would be great if we can avoid being replaced. Do you still want to be promoted?" Sun Yu said gloomily.
"Commander, I wonder if you are biased against Commander Zhang. I don't think he is that kind of person." Kong Zhongming said.
