The journey from the capital to Liangzhou for more than two months was not easy to walk. Every mountain opened a road and filled a bridge with water. When we arrived in Liangzhou, everyone was exhausted, and everyone was much thinner. When He Yan was sitting by the lake scooping water, he looked at himself from the lake water. Originally, Miss He had fair skin. After two months of sun exposure, she didn't even need to wipe the ashes on her face, which was the same color as wheat.
If the real Miss He came back at this time, she would definitely want to strangle herself to death. She had such a thought inexplicably, and she laughed when she thought it was funny.
"Brother Ahe, why is he smiling so happily?" Mai asked.
Hong Shan glanced at He Yan by the lake and said clearly: "After walking for a long time, we will be able to reach Liangzhou before dark, and the hard days are coming to an end, can you be unhappy?"
"Yes." Wheat agreed with it, and said to the stone: "Brother, are you happy?"
The taciturn stone also nodded.
It is true that the two-month journey was not something that people did. Even though most of the people who came to join the army were poor people who suffered hardships, it was much more difficult than they thought. Some of those who were not in good health died on the way. They have not had time to reach Liangzhou, and they will never go back to the capital.
This is a road that cannot be turned back.
In the evening, the large army finally arrived in Liangzhou. Liangzhou is located in the northwest. I thought it was desolate and barren, but who knew that it was quite prosperous after arriving. Although it was not comparable to the capital, it was still lively and rich. He Yan walked forward with everyone, thinking that Xiao Jue really knew how to choose a place, and Liangzhou was much better than Moxian where she joined the army. When she went to Moxian, there was nothing in Moxian, and the people couldn't even afford to eat. It was really difficult for them to live as soldiers.
When you arrive in Liangzhou, you have to go to Liangzhou Guard first. Liangzhou Guard is stationed at the foot of Baiyue Mountain. There is a large open space under Baiyue Mountain, which is enough to be a training ground. On weekdays, the soldiers practice here. You can live in tents at night, but now they all live in the guards of Liangzhou Wei.
There are so many people, and there are not so many rooms in the guardhouse, so only a dozen people can squeeze into a small room, sleeping in Datongpu. He Yan was naturally still with the Hongshan Stone brothers. They didn't have much luggage, so they relaxed when they found a place to shop.
"I saw a river nearby," Mai returned excitedly. "A lot of people are bathing in the river, let's go too."
"Okay, I've been sweating from the heat!" Hong Shan took off his coat in two or three times, and was about to run out.
Mai looked at He Yan and said, "Brother Ah He is not going?"
"He won't go, he's afraid of water, we three will do!" Hong Shan pushed the wheat and stones out.
He Yan explained as early as the first time Hongshan invited her to take a bath in the river, saying that she had drowned when she was a child, and since then she would be dizzy and short of breath as long as she went into the water. Hong Shan didn't suspect him either. To be honest, He Yan didn't lie. She was really afraid of water now.
It's just... He Yan lay down on the chasing bunk, and with a "creak", she couldn't help frowning. For a while, she didn't know whether it was because she was too skinny or the bed was too hard. After a while, I could only sigh in my heart, "It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality." She lived in the barracks for three years, and only became a grandmother Xu for a year. She got used to the soft bed and quilt, and found the mattress to be irritating.
It's better for Xiao Jue. I think his bed should be soft. He Yan felt it was unfair.
She rested in the room for a while, until Hongshan and the others returned, and went to the guardhouse to eat together.
Today is the first day. For the past two months, I have been eating dry food and water on the road every day. It was my first meal in Liangzhou, and I finally had a hot meal. Even the simple porridge and steamed buns were steaming hot, and the recruits were all sitting on the ground feasting on their food. I didn't know, but they thought they were eating delicious food.
"This steamed stuffed bun is only a tiny bit big." Hong Shan complained and licked his fingers, "It's too bad."
"It's good to have hot rice." He Yan said, "It's better than dry food."
"It's okay, I just inquired about it, there are many wild animals and rabbits on Baiyue Mountain here," Mai said with a smile: "My brother and I can go hunting at that time, hunt rabbits, wild boars, etc., wash them and string them on branches, or take A leaf was wrapped, sprinkled with a little salt, and roasted, it squeaked and oiled, but it was delicious!"
Wheat is a foodie, and he eats three words together. Hong Shan was getting more and more hungry because of what he said. He drank the porridge in front of him upside down and put it on the table, "Grandma, I can't wait to go up the mountain right now. ."
"The military order must not go up the mountain without permission." He Yan splashed them with cold water.
"There is always a time to go up the mountain." Hong Shan disagreed.
After eating and drinking, everyone simply packed up. The commander of the training had informed them in advance that they would gather at the martial arts arena tomorrow morning at 90 o'clock, and rest earlier today.
He Yan followed Hong Shan back to the guard's room. There were already many people in the room. Some people had already slept, and some people were still chatting, so they couldn't help being excited.
He Yan slept in the innermost part of the shop, next to the wheat on one side and against the wall on the other. Hearing Hong Shan speak cheerfully at the other end, "Compared to hurrying on the road some time ago, this is the day of the gods."
Eat, drink, bathe, sleep in bed, don't have to be exposed to the sun and rain, and don't have to be bothered by mosquitoes at night and can't sleep. It looks much better than before.
Wheat said in a low voice: "I think it's easier to train here than to hunt in the mountains. And there are so many people who can play together."
He Yan: "..."
Silly boy, how could anyone say that training soldiers is easier than hunting in the capital. These people are all joining the army for the first time, and they are as relaxed as the night after that day. But this is like a death row inmate having to eat a meal on the road before the execution. After eating this good meal, it is the last meal.
Tonight will be their most relaxing night in Liangzhou, and tomorrow will be the real torture.
He Yan closed his eyes, and let these silly children have sweet dreams for a while!
Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, before dawn, a loud horn sounded from the open space outside the guardhouse.
"Well, it's so early, can't I sleep for a while?" Mai rolled over and rubbed his eyes. It was found that He Yan had finished dressing and was standing in front of the bed.
"Brother Ahe, why are you so early?" he asked in a daze.
"You shouldn't be called by your name, you won't be on time, you won't be on time, this is called a slow army, and the army will deal with it." She said with a smile, her expression was not sullen, as if she was not sleepy at all.
"If you don't want to be beaten, get up quickly."
