Tiekui is at least 16 years old in the army because he has just turned 15. So in the first year of tiekui's enlistment, he trained in the army and didn't go to the battlefield.
The military camp is a place of strength. It's not suitable to keep a low profile. So tiekui joined the army for half a year, because of his outstanding performance, he stood out from all the others.
After training this day, Wu Chang called tie Kui and said, "Song Sihai and song Shen are going to choose guards. Do you want to go? If you want to go, I can find someone to sign you up. " Tiekui may not be the strongest, but he is definitely the youngest. Young age, plasticity is strong.
Tiekui shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a guard." If other generals, he will think about it. Song Huaijin is his enemy of killing his father. How could he protect the Song family.
The chief said, "you have to think about it. If you are selected, it is not only safe for you to be a guard around the general, but also good for your future. " Since he was the guard of the general of the Song Dynasty, even if he was a member of the Song family, he would help him in the future.
Tiekui shook his head and said, "brother he, I've got your kindness. It's just that I have a bad temper. I'm going to be a guard for general song Shen for fear of causing trouble to him. "
Wu Chang, surnamed he, clapped tiekui on the shoulder and said, "each has his own will, but you don't want to let it go." Tie Kui has been in the military camp for half a year because he has a good disposition and gets along well with the people around him. Now that he said that, he put on an excuse that he didn't want to find.
Half a year later, tiekui was assigned to Qianfeng camp. In war, the forward camp is at the forefront. Every time there is a war, a group of people die. The death rate of Qianfeng battalion is the highest, reaching 99% every year.
When he told tiekui the news, he Wu sighed and said, "if you listened to me that day and became a guard for song Shen, you would not have to go to Qianfeng camp."
Tiekui frowned and said, "I've only been in the middle of a year. How can I go to Qianfeng camp?" This is a strange thing.
Wu said: "it's not that you have done so well, so it's up to you to enter the forward camp."
Tiekui always thought it was weird, but he was a low-level soldier who was unable to resist the decision of the top, so he had to go to Qianfeng camp to report with bedding.
Seeing tiekui, the centurion Qiu Dashan asked in black, "how old is it this year?"
"Sixteen."
"Qiu Dashan can't help cursing:" the tortoise son of a bitch surnamed song, clean do not do personnel If such a small child comes to Qianfeng camp, he will die.
Tiekui understood that it was song who got himself to Qianfeng camp. It seems that some people encouraged Wu Chang to ask him to be the guard of song Sihai that day.
In the army, strength is the most important thing, while tiekui is only one meter and seventy-six in height, which can be regarded as a good thing in other places. But in the large group of men in Qianfeng camp, tiekui is very small. In addition, he is very young. Some veterans want to bully him. For example, he is required to contribute all the food he eats, wash clothes and fold bedding.
In fact, it's also a rule. Recruits will be bullied by some veterans when they come in. As long as you don't be too ruthless, the people above will keep their eyes open and shut.
It's a pity that tie Kui refused to take this. The man tried to teach him a lesson, but tiekui hit him on the ground.
The defeated veteran oilman thought he was a light enemy: "I didn't stand firm just now, come again."
As a result, the old soldier ruffian was knocked down again by tiekui. Now, everyone knows that tiekui has two brushes.
The veteran ruffian felt the red and swollen corners of his mouth and asked, "have you practiced?" This kid, it's not easy.
Tie Kui nodded: "our family is a mountain people. My father taught me how to practice boxing when I was five years old, and followed him up the mountain to hunt when I was ten years old."
Knowing that tiekui has practised martial arts since he was a child, people in Qianfeng camp dare not despise him any more.
When he integrated into the forward camp, he found that the people here were very forthright, and there was no intrigue. After being accepted by these people, tiekui's life is not bad.
At the time of salary, three or five people shouted to drink. What's more, run to Hualou to find the girl. Anyway, no one knows whether they can survive the next battle, so they all spend all their money and have no idea of saving at all.
A veteran named Ling Zhen saw tie Kui put the silver in his pocket and said with a smile, "boy, are you going to save the silver and marry your daughter-in-law?"
Tiekui smiled shyly.
Although nine out of ten can't marry a daughter-in-law, it's a good thing to have this idea. So, Ling Zhen didn't hit tie Kui, just smiled and said, "it's very good."
Go outside, spit can quickly agglomerate into ice. But even in such cold weather, tiekui also practices everyday.
In June of next year, when Donghu people came to attack, tiekui went to battle with others to kill the enemy.
Many people are not used to killing for the first time, but tiekui is not at all.
Ling Zhen saw his face as usual and said with a smile, "yes, it's better than me. I vomited half dead after the first killing." Of course, his first killing was not in the battlefield, but at home.
Tiekui said: "in my eyes, they are not people, but a group of animals in human skin." So he had no psychological burden to kill these people.
Ling Zhen said, "you are right. They are not human beings. They are a group of animals." Seven years ago, more than 100000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people died in the hands of those animals. Ling Zhen's family died in the hands of Donghu people. At that time, he killed a Donghu ghost who wanted to bully his sister at home. The hateful thing is that all the food was stolen by Donghu ghost. His sister starved to death in winter because she had no food to eat.
Every time Ling Zhen talks about the Donghu people, he gnashes his teeth. Without asking tiekui, he knows that he has a deep blood feud with the Donghu people.
After entering the forward camp, tiekui really realized why he said that everyone thought he was going to die when he joined the army. After each battle, there will be fewer familiar faces around.
For the first time, tiekui was very sad. Ling Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said, "don't be sad. You didn't save a lot of money. I'll take you to open your eyes tomorrow."
Lingzhen's eye opening circle is to take tiekui to Hualou. See tie Kui don't go in, Ling Zhen low voice way: "boy, can't be a kid chicken all the time!"
Tiekui refused very firmly.
Ling Zhen is also kind. He is afraid that tie Kui will still be a boy until he dies. But tie Kui didn't want to, and he didn't force him: "then go back first!" With that, he went in.
Tiekui did not go back, but wandered in the city. It's more than a year and a half since I came to Tongcheng. I haven't visited the street market here.
After a turn, I didn't find anything to buy. When he got to the door of a medicine shop, tiekui thought about it and went in.
He has been taking medicine for Iron Tiger for more than a year. He still knows the price of some common herbs. Unexpectedly, the medicine here is twice as expensive as that in their town. But no matter how expensive it is, it's not directly expensive to buy medicine.
When Ling Zhen came back, he was satisfied and went into the room to see that tie Kui was pounding drums. "What do you want to buy? Do you know how to make medicine? "
Tiekui said, "I can only make some simple medicines for bruise."
"That's great, too." If these drugs are really useful, his army salary will not be used to buy the drugs made of tiekui.
After a few days, Donghu people came to invade again. Every time there is a war, Qianfeng camp is at the forefront, this time of course is no exception. But this time, the Donghu people are stronger than before. Most of the dead and wounded in the forward camp, tiekui was also injured and comatose.
When I wake up, it's already night.
The night at the end of September has begun to cool. And the wind on the grassland is so strong that tiekui can't help shivering.
Tiekui first applied his own medicine to the wound and then bandaged it. Having done all this, he discerned the way back to the city. After a few steps, I heard a cry for help not far away.
It's also because of the special silence in the wild at this time that tiekui heard the slight sound.
Toward the place where the sound was made, tiekui found Qiu Dashan who was pressed by two bodies.
Qiu Dashan can't move after being hurt seriously, but he still has consciousness. He called for help when he heard footsteps.
After removing the body from Qiu Dashan's body, tiekui asked softly, "here is your most serious injury? I have some medicine here. I'll put it on you. "
Qiu Dashan's chest was hurt, but he didn't hurt the key point. Tiekui gave him the medicine and asked, "brother, can you hold on? Hold on, I'll carry you back. If I can't stand it, I'll go back and report to the top, and ask someone to help you again. "
Qiu Dashan said in a mosquito like voice, "I can hold on." After tiekui left, he was afraid that he would not survive tonight. Moreover, even if tiekui and the people above report this, no one will come to save him.
If you can't hold on, you'll have to die.
Because it's dark, and Qiu Dashan's voice has changed because of his weakness. Therefore, tiekui didn't know that he was going to save his immediate superior.
Tiekui was injured and carrying Qiu Dashan, who was heavier than himself, and walked very slowly.
After two hours, tie Kui couldn't move. On a steep slope, tiekui said, "let's rest here tonight!"
Qiu Dashan naturally has no objection.
Tiekui found a pile of hay and dead branches, and soon a fire broke out.
With the fire, it's easy to have this evening.
Qiu Dashan was awakened by a smell. When he opened his eyes, he saw tiekui roasting a rabbit. Looking at the golden rabbit that had dripped oil, Qiu Dashan couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva. He's been hungry all day and night.
Tiekui turned around and saw Qiu Dashan staring at the roast rabbit: "centurion, this rabbit will be better in a while." This morning, he went up and opened his eyes to see people. He knew that he was saving his immediate superior.
"How did you get the rabbit?" Tiekui is injured now and has no tools.
Tie Kui said with a smile, "when the traps are set, rabbits and pheasants are easy to catch." In the mountains for so many years, you can catch the pheasant and rabbit without bows and arrows.
After a while, the rabbit is baked. Tiekui gave him half of it, and then asked, "can you eat by yourself?"
"Yes," said Qiu Dashan
Having enough to eat and drink, tiekui picked up Qiu Dashan and went on his way. More than half a day's journey, two people walked two days to arrive. These two days, they all rely on tiekui to find food and drink. The hare, the gopher, and the snake, never let go of tiekui. Qiu Dashan, of course, will not be rejected.
Back in the army, the doctor looked at the two men. Tiekui belongs to slight injury, but Qiu Dashan has many injuries. Especially the chest has also been injured, fortunately not to the heart.
"It will take at least three months to get out of bed," said the military doctor to Qiu Dashan
Qiu Dashan is meaningless.
Qiu Dashan thought
