Chapter 50

It's getting late. At the foot of Erlong mountain, Beiyang patrol camp has set up a camp.

Dozens of fires were burning. In the crackling sound of the fire, the wild boar legs roasted on the fire gave off a strong fragrance, and attractive oil droplets dropped along the pig legs, with a constant hissing sound.

The bandits haven't got much more silver these days. The bandits have got several cars of wild boar legs and wild beef.

Carrying a steaming chicken leg, Li Kun walked to Su Lu, who was sitting beside the fire in a daze, pulled the little mud aside and sat down.

"Second brother, Su Ping has felt it for an hour. He hasn't come down yet. Will something happen?"

Su Lu woke up from a daze and looked at the soldier card. The level 2 long gun soldier card hanging on Su Ping was still flashing, which indicated that Su Lu was still well.

"It's all right. Erlong mountain is different from other bandits. It's more tightly guarded. Su Ping probably doesn't have a chance to touch it. He's still there."

While they were talking, there was a noise in the crowd of civilian men not far away. More than a dozen civilian men made way. Su Ping came back with several scouts wrapped in cold.

He sat down by the fire. Su Ping grabbed the chicken leg in Li Kun's hand, chewed it, yelled and scolded: "it's so cold! The bastard blood lion really has two brushes. There is a depression on the mountain road on Erlong mountain, and someone behind him is guarding it. I don't have a chance to touch it."

"Second brother, I don't think we have a chance this time. I'm afraid the bandit stronghold of Erlong mountain can't fight down."

Little mud took the roasted wild boar leg out of the fire, cut a large piece of meat with heat, and handed it to Su Lu with a wooden stick.

Su Ping tried to grab it, but was beaten by little mud's wrist. The back of the knife knocked several times on Su Ping's hand and hit Su Ping bared his teeth.

"Little rabbit, dare to beat me. Believe it or not, I'll peel you off. I don't care about you. I'll still eat chicken legs."

Su Ping looked at the turning blade and begged for mercy at his little mud. The boy is not old, but his kung fu is evil and tight. Without battle blessing, he may not be able to deal with him one-on-one.

Li Kun took another piece of pork leg and scolded Su Ping while eating. "I said Er Ping, you should stop and see how many bandits we robbed. When we return to Beiyang, everyone must think we've pulled back the grain and grass as they are."

Li Kun learned the tone of Tang county magistrate:

"How did you get the grain and grass back and forth? What? It's impossible to rob bandits. The county remembers clearly that this is definitely not the gold medal of Xiaofu Shi. Oh, no, this should be the cart collected by the county for you. The grain and grass must be the grain and grass of the big warehouse."

"Hahaha"

There was a roar of laughter around the fire. Because of the gold medal of Xiao Fu Shi, the patrol camp still hated county magistrate Tang. The big guy hasn't won the reward from Xuanfu until now.

Su Lu ignored Li Kun and ordered:

"Be on alert tonight, be ready for the night attack of Erlong mountain bandits, and set up the camp under the bandit nest. You can't lead out the bandits. You battalion captains will pull a cart for me tomorrow."

Han Shang and Zhao pangzi looked at each other. They were innocent. Su Ping encouraged them all.

After arranging the guards for the night watch in the first half of the night, Su Lu drank another bowl of hot porridge brought by the little mud and was ready to go to bed in the tent. Even if the bandits in Erlong mountain dared to sneak attack, it was in the second half of the night. They were not so bold in the first half of the night.

Su Ping was scolded by Han Shang and Zhao pangzi for a long time and bit his teeth: "I won't sleep today. The blood lion came in the middle of the night. I took him in the middle of the night. I took him in the second half of the night."

Han Shang and Zhao pangzi ran away when they heard the speech. They found a tent and went to bed.

Li Kun ate enough barbecue and drank a bowl of hot porridge. In Su Ping's expectant eyes, he smiled and went to bed in a tent: "Su Ping, you watch first. If the blood lion comes, you are willing to call me and I'll help you. If you don't want me, I'll sleep all night."

Su Ping's face was as black as the bottom of the pot. He walked around the fire and tried to drill into the tent. However, he thought of his promise and looked at the eyes of the surrounding guards and civilian men. He snorted a few times and sat down beside the fire.

Su Lu shook his head and lost his stick. When he was ready to go to bed, Lao Wang, a civilian husband, squatted down next to Su Lu.

"Duwei, eat. This is a rabbit I beat on the road this afternoon."

Lao Wang handed over a roast rabbit with a simple and honest smile on his wrinkled face.

Su Lu didn't pick up the rabbit. He picked up a handful of weeds and wiped the oil on his hands: "I won't eat the rabbit. Wrap it in oil paper and take it back to your big Ni, er Ni and San Ni tomorrow. It's not easy for the children to eat it."

Lao Wang's face stagnated, holding the roast rabbit in his hand, and his voice trembled: "Sir, if you allow me to be a soldier with you, my family will be able to live a good life. Big Ni, two Ni and three Ni can often eat the roast rabbit."

It's been several days in a row. As long as he sets up camp, Lao Wang comes to bribe Su Lu with the good things he got. He wants him to agree to join the guard, follow Su Lu and be a cook.

However, Su Lu dared not agree. Lao Wang's family has three daughters, and there are four old people on them. His parents and mother-in-law's parents. If there is a mistake that makes Lao Wang lose his life, Su Lu doesn't know how to face this family.

"Let's talk about it. I think Lao Wang, you can run back and forth as a civilian husband and earn enough money for your family."

Su Lu said, got up and went to his tent. It's really bothering Lao Wang. He can say that in the middle of the night, it's all about wheels. Adults, you agree. Adults, you still agree. Adults, I beg you.

Lao Wang saw that Su Lu had left, sighed, looked at the roast rabbit in his hand, and thought of his three daughters.

A clean oil paper was handed over. Lao Wang looked up and saw the small mud flashing smart eyes.

"Thank you for your oil paper, mud."

Lao Wang began to wrap the roast rabbit and was ready to take it back to his daughters. While wrapping it, Lao Wang asked the little mud:

"Mud, what do you like, the kind that doesn't cost money? Tell me and see how you can let me join the guard."

After a muddy face, he threw away the bones in his hand, turned to find a tent and drilled in. He couldn't stand Lao Wang's wheel words. What do your adults like? How can your adults allow me to join the guard

The next day, when Su Lu got out of the tent, he saw Su Ping with black eyes at the door, together with a group of guards with the same black eyes.

The blood lion didn't dare to come after all.

As the team pulled out, the guard troops with black eyes were sleeping everywhere on the cart. The civilian men who cherished the pack horses began to protest and just slept as a school captain. So much was not enough, but their protest was quickly smoothed out by Su Lu. They went back to share a bag of food.

When the car arrived in Beiyang, the sun was already slanting to the West. County magistrate Tang and the people of the county government waited in Nanguan camp, ready to hand over the grain and grass with Su Lu these days. More and more grain and grass were transferred from Xuanfu. Nanguan camp must have more guards left behind.

Sure enough, county magistrate Tang was stunned when he saw the full load of grain and grass on the car: "have you pulled the grain grassland road back again?"

He Wu also looked surprised: "this is not your brother Su's style. You have to send grain and grass."

Su Lu ordered Li Kun to take people to divide the grain and grass promised to the civilian husband. After the guard took two bags, the rest was turned over as booty.

County Magistrate Tang's face was as black as the bottom of the pot: "Lieutenant Su, will you share the captured grain and grass in front of me?"

He Wu was also indignant: "I've been waiting for you all day, but I don't know what to give me. Do I really think he Wu is a good friend?"

Su Lu pointed to the last few carts entering the camp: "see, there are silver and copper coins on it."

He Wu immediately flattered: "brother Su is really a talented marshal. He not only perfectly completed the task of transporting grain and grass, but also swept away a small group of bandits in Beizheng, and a large group of bandits were defeated by you."

"He has also seized so much silver. Su Duwei is really a pillar of the country. How do you divide the silver?"

Lao Wang, a civilian husband, drove his pack horse by Su road and said happily, "Sir, I'll go to my house for dinner in the evening. I have barbecue and food."

Su Lu waved his hand: "all right, Lao Wang, go quickly and let your family open meat. Don't forget to come and gather in two days. We'll continue to start."

Lao Wang patted his chest on the mountain, and his voice was loud: "don't worry, sir, you can afford it, and I won't let you down. Sir, when do you think I can join our guard, the kitchen army will do?"

Sulu fled.

Lao Wang patted the ass of the pack horse in the surprised eyes of everyone and walked away slowly. Alas, the guards are still far away.

Go through Beiyang County, go out of the city from the west gate, return to Wangjiazhuang and greet the acquaintances in the village. Lao Wang is in a good mood.

"Yes, the reward for sending food to Beizheng this time is the grace of Lord Duwei."

"Yes, roast rabbit and roast pig leg were captured by the guards and given to me."

"Not much, not much. Just give them some meat."

Before he got home, Lao Wang saw and heard the call of his daughters from the yard.
