Because Tie Kui had just turned fifteen years old, he was at least sixteen years old in the military. Therefore, in the first year of Tiekui's enlistment, he was trained in the army and never went to the battlefield.
The military camp is a place where strength is concerned, and keeping a low profile is not suitable here. Therefore, Tiekui joined the army for half a year and stood out from the rest because of his outstanding performance.
After training on this day, the leader of the army called Tie Kui out and said, “Song Sihai and Song Shen are going to choose a guard. Do you want to go? If you want to go, I can find someone to sign up for you.” Tie Kui may not be the strongest, but He is definitely the youngest. Younger people have strong plasticity.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a guard." If it is other generals, he will consider it. Song Huaijin was his father and enemy, how could he protect the Song family
The corps leader said: "You have to think carefully. If you are selected, you will not only be safe to be a guard next to the general, but it is also very good for your future." Once you have served as the guard of the general Song, you will be regarded as the Song family. People in the same line will naturally lead him in the future.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Big Brother He, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that I have a bad temper and I want to protect General Song Shen so that I may cause trouble to him."
The captain surnamed He patted Tie Kui on the shoulder, and said, "Everyone has aspirations, if you don't want it, then forget it." Tie Kui entered the army camp for half a year, because of his temperament, he got along very well with the people around him. Now that he said this, he made it clear that he didn't want to make an excuse.
Six months later, Tie Kui was assigned to the forward camp. In the battle, the forward battalion is at the forefront. Every time a war is fought, a group of people will die. The forward battalion has the highest mortality rate among the military camps, reaching 99% each year.
Telling the news to Tie Kui, Wu Chang He sighed and said, "If you listened to me that day and served as a guard for Song Shen, you won't have to go to the forward camp."
Tie Kui frowned and said, "I have only been in the army for a year, so how come I will be assigned to the forward camp." This matter was strange.
The head of the corps said: "It's not that your kid performed too well, so the upper hand divided you into the forward camp."
Tie Kui always felt that this matter was weird, but he, a low-level soldier, couldn't resist the decision above, so he could only report to the forward camp with the bedding.
Seeing Tie Kui, the Centurion Chou Da Shantou asked with a black face, "How old are you this year?"
"Sixteen years old."
Qiu Dashan couldn't help cursing his mother: "The tortoise bastard surnamed Song, and he doesn't do human affairs." Isn't it that such a small child brought him to Qianfeng Camp to die.
Tie Kui understood that it was the Song who had taken him to the forward camp. It seems that someone instigated the leader to let him be Song Sihai's guard that day.
The army respects strength, but Tie Kui is only 1.76 meters tall, which is considered to be passable in other places. But among the large crowds of tall and burly men in the forward camp, Tie Kui looked particularly short. In addition, he was very young, and some veterans wanted to bully him. For example, he is required to contribute all the food he eats, and he is required to wash clothes and stack bedding.
In fact, this is also a common practice. New recruits will always be bullied by some veterans when they come in. As long as you don't be too cruel, the people above will open their eyes and close their eyes.
It's a pity that Tie Kui didn't take this set and refused. The man tried to teach him a lesson, but was beaten to the ground by Tie Kui instead.
The downed veteran Yuzi felt that he underestimated the enemy: "I didn't stand firm just now. Come again."
As a result, the old soldier ruffian was knocked down by Tie Kui again. At this time, everyone knew that Tie Kui really had two brushes.
The veteran ruffian touched the corners of his swollen mouth, and asked, "Have you practiced?" This kid is really not easy to start.
Tie Kui nodded: "Our family is a mountain citizen. My father taught me boxing when I was five, and he followed him up the mountain to hunt at the age of ten."
Knowing that Tie Kui had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, the people in Qianfeng Camp didn't dare to despise him anymore.
When he entered the forward camp, he found that the people here were very outgoing, and there was no intrigue. After being accepted by these people, Tie Kui's life went well.
When the salary was paid, three or five people yelled to drink. Also, ran to the Hualou to find a girl. Anyway, no one knows whether they can survive the next battle, so they spend all their money, and they don't even have the idea of saving money.
An veteran named Ling Zhen saw Tie Kui put the silver in his pocket and smiled: "Boy, are you going to save the silver to marry a wife?"
Tie Kui smiled shyly.
Although it is not possible to marry a daughter-in-law in all likelihood, it is always good to have this idea. Therefore, Ling Zhen didn't attack Tie Kui either, just smiled and said, "Very good."
When you walk outside, your spit can quickly condense into ice. But even in such severe cold weather, Tie Kui insisted on practicing every day.
In June of the coming year, the Donghu people attacked, and Tie Kui went into battle with others to kill the enemy.
Many people were uncomfortable with the first killing, but Tie Kui was not at all uncomfortable.
Seeing his expression as usual, Ling Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, better than me. I vomited half to death after the first murder." Of course, his first murder was not on the battlefield, but at home.
Tie Kui said, "In my eyes, they are not humans, but just a group of beasts in human skins." Therefore, he has no psychological burden at all to kill these people.
Ling Zhen said: "You are right, they are not humans, but a group of beasts." Seven years ago, more than 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people died in the hands of that group of beasts. Ling Zhen's family died at the hands of Donghu people. At that time, he also killed a Donghu ghost at home who wanted to bully his sister. The hateful thing is that the food was snatched by the Donghu ghost, and his sister starved to death in winter because there was no food to eat.
Every time Ling Zhen talked about Donghu people, he gritted his teeth, and didn't need to ask Tie Kui to know that he must have a bloody feud with Donghu people.
After entering the forward camp, Tie Kui truly realized why he said that he enlisted in the army and everyone thought he was going to die. Every time a battle is finished, there will be fewer familiar faces around.
For the first time, Tie Kui was particularly sad. Ling Zhen patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, you have saved a lot of money, I will take you to an eye-opener tomorrow."
What Ling Zhen said was to take Tie Kui to the Hualou. Seeing that Tie Kui was not going in, Ling Zhen lowered his voice and said, "Boy, you can't be a boy chicken forever!"
Tie Kui resolutely refused.
Ling Zhen was also kind, he was afraid that Tie Kui would still be a boy. But Tie Kui didn't want to, and he didn't reluctantly said, "Then you go back first!" After speaking, he went in.
Tie Kui did not go back, but wandered around the city. I've been to Tongcheng for more than a year and a half, but I haven't visited the market here.
After turning around, I didn't find anything to buy. When he reached the door of a medicinal shop, Tie Kui thought about it and went in.
After taking medicine for Tiehu for more than a year, he still knows the prices of some common medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, the medicinal materials here are twice as expensive as those in their town. But no matter how expensive it is, it is not expensive to buy medicine directly.
When Ling Zhen came back, he looked satisfied. He entered the room to see that Tie Kui was playing with medicinal materials and said, "What do you do with medicinal materials? Could you still make medicine?"
Tie Kui said, "I can only make some simple medicine for traumatic injuries."
"That's amazing too." If these medicines are really useful, his military salary won't be squandered to buy medicines made by Tie Kui.
A few days later, the Donghu people attacked again. In every battle, the forward battalion is at the forefront, and this time is no exception. But the Donghu who attacked this time were tougher than the previous times. Most of the strikers were killed and injured, and Tie Kui was also injured in a coma.
When I woke up, it was night.
The night at the end of September had already begun to get cold. The wind on the grassland was particularly strong, and Tie Kui couldn't help but shiver when it blew on his body.
Tie Kui first applied his own medicine to the wound and then bandaged it. After doing all this, he discerned the direction to return to the city. After walking a few steps, I heard a cry for help not far away.
It was also because the field was so quiet at this time that Tie Kui heard the slight voice.
Walking towards the place where the sound was made, Tie Kui found Qiu Dashan underneath his two bodies.
Qiu Dashan was badly injured and couldn't move, but he was still conscious. He called for help only when he heard footsteps.
After removing the corpse on Qiu Dashan's body, Tie Kui asked softly: "Your worst injury is here? I have some wound medicine here. I'll apply it to you."
Qiu Dashan was injured in his chest, but fortunately he didn't hurt him to the point. After Tie Kui gave him the medicine, he asked, "Brother, can you hold it? If you can hold it, I will carry you back. If I can't hold it, I will go back and report to him, and let someone come to rescue you again."
Qiu Dashan said in a mosquito-like voice: "I can hold it." After Tie Kui left, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive tonight. Furthermore, even if Tie Kui followed the person above and reported the matter, no one would come to rescue him.
If you can't hold it, there is only a dead end.
Because it was dark, I couldn't see the face, and Qiu Dashan's voice changed because of his weakness. Therefore, Tie Kui didn't know that it was his immediate boss to save.
Tie Kui was wounded on his body and carrying Qiu Dashan who was heavier than himself on his back, so naturally he walked very slowly.
After two hours of walking, Tie Kui couldn't walk anymore. On a steep slope, Tie Kui said, "Let’s rest here tonight!"
Qiu Dashan naturally had no objections.
Tie Kui found a pile of hay and dead branches, and a fire soon started.
With fire, it is easy to spend the night.
Qiu Dashan was awakened by a burst of scent, and he opened his eyes and saw Tie Kui roasting a rabbit. Looking at the rabbit that was roasted golden and dripping with oil, Qiu Dashan couldn't help swallowing. He has been hungry for a day and a night.
Tie Kui turned his head and saw Qiu Dashan staring at the roasted rabbit: "Centurion, this rabbit will take a while to get better." When he opened his eyes and saw someone this morning, he knew that he was saving his immediate boss. .
"How did you hit the rabbit?" Tie Kui was injured now and had no tools.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "If the trap is set up, rabbits and pheasants are still easy to catch." After so many years in the mountains, he can catch a pheasant rabbit without a bow and arrow.
After a while, the rabbit was baked. Tie Kui divided half of them to him, and then asked, "Can I eat it myself?"
Qiu Dashan said: "Yes."
After eating and drinking, Tie Kui took Qiu Dashan on his back and continued on the road. After more than half a day's journey, the two of them walked for two days before arriving. In the past two days, I relied on Tie Kui to find food and drink. Hare, gopher, snake, Tie Kui who can take it anyway, will not let it go. Qiu Dashan will naturally not dislike it.
Back in the army, the military doctor showed them the injuries. Tie Kui's was slightly injured, but Qiu Dashan was injured in many places. Especially the chest was also injured, but fortunately it didn't hurt the lungs.
The military doctor said to Qiu Dashan: "It takes at least three months to get out of bed."
Qiu Dashan is naturally meaningless.
Thinking of Tie Kui's care for him today, Qiu Dashan asked him to stay and take care of himself.
Seeing Qiu Dashan's face pale, Tie Kui bought red dates, millet or eggs at a high price and made him eat. Of course, the money came from Qiu Dashan himself.
The first time he drank Tie Kui's red date porridge, Qiu Dashan was very surprised: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good." There are not many men who can cook well, and there are very few good ones.
Tie Kui smiled and said, "My dad broke his leg four years ago. I took him to Shengjing to treat his leg and often made porridge and soup for him to eat. If he does more, he will have experience."
Qiu Dashan smiled and said, "No wonder you can take care of people like this. By the way, your brothers."
Hearing that Tie Kui was the only one, Qiu Dashan sighed and said, "How sad should your father be when you join the army?" He thought that Tie Kui was forced to join the army. Usually only children, the family will try their best to escape military service.
Tie Kui said with a loud voice, "The doctor healed his leg, and he gritted his teeth without any pain. But when I came to Tongcheng, his eyes were red."
Conscription is getting harder and harder now, and even the only son is not let go. Thinking of this, Qiu Dashan couldn't help sighing.
Under Tie Kui's meticulous care, Qiu Dashan got out of bed in a month. In three months, he was alive and well.
After he recovered, Qiu Dashan asked Tie Kui: "Would you like to stay with me?" This meant that he wanted Tie Kui to be his personal guard.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I want to go back to the army." Staying next to Qiu Dashan is also going to fight on the battlefield. If this is the case, it is better to return to the military. In this way, more freedom.
Upon seeing this, Qiu Dashan did not force him.
After returning, Tie Kui was promoted to the rank of captain. Although he only cares about five people, it can be regarded as his starting point.
In the coming year, Tie Kui followed Qiu Dashan into battle to kill the enemy. This time, Tie Kui killed several Donghu people, and went up a lot when he returned. But Qiu Dashan's position has not changed.
Tie Kui didn't understand, and asked, "My lord, why did you kill so many enemies and why didn't you get promoted?" Qiu Dashan also killed many enemies last year. The accumulation of these military exploits is enough to make him a higher level.
Qiu Dashan did not evade, saying: "Because I used to be a student with the third youngest of the Yan family. People in the Song family will suppress people who have something to do with the Yan family, like me, they wish they could kill him." There are many people in the Yan family, if all of them are killed, who will fight. Therefore, Tong Chunlin kept stopping. But if it doesn't work, these people will come secretly.
"My lord, I believe that evil does not suppress justice. Marshal Yan will be rehabilitated one day."
Qiu Dashan said: "Yes, evil does not suppress the truth. One day the Yan family will be rehabilitated, and the traitorous officials of the Song family will die.
