"Get up quickly, Gouwazi!"
"Wang Laoer, I told you that I have a name now. My name is Gou Sheng!" A young soldier with a green face opened his eyes with some confusion: "Isn't my team taking turns to take a day off today? Why are we up so early?"
"Hey, you kid doesn't know that Duke Ping has brought people to work for the army."
"What? Duke Ping is here?"
"Well, you went out for inspection in the city yesterday and came back late. Didn't anyone tell you? Duke Ping brought Qianqi Xuanjia Cavalry and they arrived at night last night."
Gou Sheng immediately sat upright and said, "What do you mean?"
"Hey, boy, believe it or not, I heard that Duke Ping came this time, not only to work for us, but also to take photos for us!"
By this time, most of the sergeants who were with Gou Sheng were awake and gathered around.
Gou Sheng saw that he had a nose and eyes, so he temporarily believed him and asked, "What is taking a photo?"
Hearing Gou Sheng ask, Wang Laoer had a smug look on his face and sat cross-legged on his bunk and said, "This photo shoot is... just a photo shoot!"
"Aren't you talking nonsense?"
"Hey, don't worry, this is taking pictures, but I heard from a fellow who was a personal guard next to General Yao, that when taking pictures, it's like sucking you in, taking pictures in one place A piece of paper, and then a portrait of a person exactly like you will appear on the paper."
"Then, you can yourself or ask them to write what you want to say to your mother under the portrait. After Duke Ping returns to Chang'an, he will send the portrait to your mother through our government post house. In your hand, your mother will know what you want to say and how she sees you."
"Really? What a fool!"
"Hey, you kid, why are you so suspicious?" Wang Laoer threw his military uniform to him: "You will know if you can dress yourself and follow me to see you?"
Gou Sheng put on his military uniform, and Wang Laoer was still giving instructions: "I told you, that portrait looks exactly like you, but you still haven't arranged your hair and everything!"
Gou Sheng convinced him that what he said was reasonable, so he put the water in the water bag on the ground outside the tent, squatted in front of it and used the water as a mirror, and tidied himself up.
Then people in the military tent went up next to each other to adjust their hair and uniforms, trying to make themselves look more decent.
"How about it, Mr. Wang?"
"Not bad, you look like a human and a dog. Your mother will definitely recognize you when she sees you."
"roll!"
A man in the camp was talking and laughing as he walked towards the school ground. The closer he got to the school ground, the more people there were.
Seeing this, Gou Sheng knew that Wang Laoer probably didn't deceive him. He thought that as long as he took that photo, his wife would be able to see what he looked like, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.
I heard Wang Laoer say that when taking pictures, people have to be sucked onto the paper. I don’t know how to suck hair, whether it hurts or not.
After a few people finally squeezed to the front, they saw that the front area was marked with lines, and the positions of each team were clearly written.
The group they were in was not far apart, but it took a lot of effort to squeeze through.
"Wang Lao Er, Gou Sheng, come here!" Their corps commander waved his hand and called a few people to the front: "The general called us all just now, and was saying that he would go back to call you, so you came here by yourselves. !”
"Hey, Captain!" Wang Laoer said with a sneer: "Isn't it because I had a stomachache yesterday and didn't go out to patrol the city with my brothers, so did I get the news earlier in the city?"
"Okay, now that you know it, I won't say more." The corps commander looked at a few people and said, "Everyone has their clothes straightened out. What do they look like!"
There are no mirrors here anymore, so they can only put their military uniforms in order face to face.
"Okay, have you seen this team? Take pictures from the back. When the front team finishes taking pictures, it will be your turn."
The corporal commander pointed at a team outside a tent. Several people could no longer hold back and ran over there.
"Wait! Gou Sheng, you stay!" After calling Gou Sheng, the team leader muttered: "You are already a veteran, and you are still so anxious. I haven't even finished my words, so you can run."
When Gou Sheng saw that Wang Laoer and the others had gone over and lined up, he became anxious.
"Captain, didn't you say that everyone would come over to take pictures today? I...I..." Gou Sheng blurted out in a hurry, "I want to see your mother!"
Seeing the expression on Wu Zhang's face darken, Gou Sheng quickly changed his words: "No, no, it's your mother who wants to see me! No, no, it's me who wants to take pictures and let my mother see me!"
"You're a bitch, you can't even speak. Come with me. It will be of benefit to you later. Also, the people you meet today are all noble people. If you don't know how to speak, just shut your mouth!"
The corps commander said and turned around to leave. Gou Sheng turned around to look at Wang Laoer and the others who were lining up over there. He still had no choice but to follow the corps commander. Military orders were hard to disobey. Although he was just a soldier, he still understood the truth.
After bypassing the tents where photos were taken, there were obviously a lot less people here. After walking a few steps, the team leader led him to a tent.
The black armor of the guard at the door made Gou Sheng's eyes light up. Isn't this the legendary Black Armor Cavalry?
Military generals, who would not be proud to enter the Xuanjia Cavalry, but there are millions of Tang troops, and the Xuanjia Cavalry can only be a few thousand, so let alone entering, you can rarely see it even if you look at it.
After Xuan Jiaqi verified the identities of the two, he got out of the way.
"Captain? What are we here for?" Gou Sheng asked, leaning against the commander.
"Hmph, you piece of shit, how can I hurt you? It's a good thing, let's go!" The corporal said in a low voice and took him in.
"Li Dali, is this the top soldier in your team you mentioned?"
Li Dali is the name of the corps commander. Anyone who can call him that is obviously a general in the army.
Gou Sheng looked up carefully and realized that the person speaking was actually General Yao from Baozi City. He was the largest official in Baozi City.
"That's right, it's just this kid. Don't look at him. He looks tender, but he's a really nice guy. Twice, this kid discovered the people who sneaked over from East Vietnam."
Then he kicked him lightly from behind, gritted his molars and said, "I haven't gone up to see the general yet."
Gou Sheng woke up from his dream, clasped his fists and said, "Young man, I've seen the general!"
"Okay, no need to be polite!" Yao Yuanzhi said: "Since you have made great contributions, I will take a video of you today and send it to your hometown counties for release!"
"General, little one...little one..." Gou Sheng mustered up his courage and finally said, "I just want to take a photo and show it to my mother."
"You..." Wu Commander Li Dali wanted to scold him, but there were all high-ranking military officials here, so he could only hold back his words.
But in my heart, I have already scolded this boy for being ignorant so many times.
"Hahahaha, he is a good and filial boy!" Yao Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the photos are indispensable for you. This video is about you facing here and saying something you want to say to your mother. It will be sent to your county when the time comes. Go, the way you speak and the voice you speak can be seen and heard by everyone in your county, isn’t it enough for your kid to look good?”
Have you heard of such a thing happening in Gou Sheng? I am from Yizhou. What I say here can still be seen by the folks in Yizhou?
Incredulously, he blurted out his mantra:
"What a fool!"
(Sichuan dialect in the Tang Dynasty is of course different from modern times, but please don’t delve into it, sorry!)
