Chapter 81: Rebuilding a Family and Country (9)(1/2)

The "preparation meeting" obviously does not intend to give subjects time to prepare in advance.

Because there is only one day between issuing the examination notice and the examination.

On the day of the exam, Hou Deer got up early, went to the riverside to take a shower, then returned to the camp and shaved his face carefully, and finally changed into clean clothes.

After doing all this, it was already dawn.

Houdel yawned and walked towards the barracks gate.

When he arrived at the gate of the military camp, Hou Deer was not in a hurry to go out, but stood in front of the bulletin board and looked at it for a while.

Houdel did not come to his senses until Doug patted his shoulder from behind.

Doug brought Houdell a piece of shredded bread with bacon and sauce. While eating, the two of them checked their soldiers' cards at the gate and made registrations before leaving the camp.

There are two roads outside the gate of the military camp.

The road on the left leads to Maple Leaf Fort, Houdel has been walking recently.

Because the Tiefeng County Army was under the auspices of Mason Baomin Officer, everyone had to work to repair Maple Leaf Fort except for the wounded and sick who could not move.

The road on the right hand leads to Fengshi City, Houdel rarely walks.

The only few experiences I have come to your home to pick up and deliver things. All of them are going to go and go back.

Hou Deer has not yet gained the opportunity. He has a good time to visit the "big city" that is full of prosperity and lively, and is full of gold caves.

But today, Houdelba cannot walk to the left.

But there was no way. The examination room was not in Maple Leaf Fort, Houdel could only look at his friends and take steps towards Maple Stone City in the morning light.

The military camp of the Tiefeng County Army is very close to Fengshi City.

Before the bread was finished, Hou Deer and his friends had already walked from the small road to the main road. After getting on the main road, the gate of Fengshi City was close to you.

The crowds on the road suddenly became dense.

The farmer carrying a vegetable basket, the butcher leading a livestock, and the water deliveryman driving a carriage... all kinds of figures were walking on the road, with so many people that it seemed like they were carrying a sacrament parade.

Although the clothes you wear are no different, Houdel can still distinguish civilians and soldiers from the crowd entering the city at a glance:

Because the former went to the city to make a living, although they carried their shoulders and were sweating profusely, they were full of energy when walking; although the latter had empty shoulders and hands, their steps were dragging and heavy, because they had to withstand the "test".

Houdel soon saw some familiar faces in the crowd, all of whom were reserve officers of other companies.

Everyone greeted each other briefly and continued on the road silently.

However, on this short section of the road leading to Fengshi City, some new faces were brought into the crowd.

Unlike the civilians entering the city and soldiers such as Houdell, the clothes on the new faces are cleaner and the fabrics on the clothes are also better.

They were not wearing straw sandals and soft-soled leather sandals uniformly distributed by the Tiefeng County Army - the latter Houdel was reluctant to wear - but genuine boots.

Houdel would not be jealous if he was not as good as others in his clothes.

What made Houdeer look eye-catching was the arrogant, relaxed and pleasant expressions of new faces.

"Look." Houdel and his friend bit their ears: "Where are you wearing boots?"

Doug picked up the last crumbs of bread in his palm: "Appointed officer from a friendly army."

"They want to take the exam, too?" Houdel was surprised.

"You need to take the exam." Doumag replied concisely: "That's what the announcement says."

"We take the exam because we want to go to your school." Houdel unconsciously frowned: "They also take the exam, can they go to your school?"

"It should be like that."

Hou Deer was speechless for a while and spat indignantly: "Why?"

"Do you still want to eat?" Doug asked his friend.

Houdeer had no appetite at all and handed the small piece of bread in his hand to his friend.

Doug cleaned the remaining bread from his friend and said calmly: "Maybe they are also curious why you and I can go to your school."

Houdel wanted to refute but had nothing to say. He simply turned his head away and didn't look at the children of rich families wearing boots, and just kept rushing to the road.

But sometimes, the more you don’t want to see something, the more you get in front of you.

To enter Fengshi City, you need to pass a checkpoint at the city gate.

The scene in front of the checkpoint is literally "thousands of troops cross a single-plank bridge", so everyone has to line up.

The same goes for Houdel and Doug.

Waiting is upsetting, and it seems like a full hundred years to move the queue a small step forward.

Houdel sighed and looked at the crowd in front of him. At this critical moment, a burst of laughter floated into his ears from behind.

When he turned his head and saw that the rich families in boots were not far behind him, chatting and laughing, as if they were going on an outing.

Houdel turned his head and blocked his ears in annoyance. But the more he didn't want to listen, the more harsh the chatter of those people became, making the nameless in his heart angry.

Finally, Houdel's patience reached its limit.

He had a plan, turned around and walked a few steps, patted another reserve officer behind him on the shoulder, and greeted him on his own initiative.

The reserve officer called by Houdell was named Claude Lee, who was recommended by Battalion Commander Samujin to become a reserve officer.

Claude was younger than Houdell, but in terms of "military age", he was several months earlier than Houdell. Although he knew Houdell, he just nodded and could not be said to be very familiar with him.

So, in the face of Houdel's sudden enthusiasm, Claude was unclear.

He subconsciously replied to the good news, and then continued to stare down at the tip of his shoe, obviously not wanting to talk more.

Houdel was not going to let the other party go like this. He held Claude's arm intimately and deliberately talked loudly about the "Second Battalion Commander" about the upcoming "Second Regiment Commander".

Behind him, the commissioned officers from other counties were startled by Houdel's loud voice and their laughter came to an abrupt end.

Claude first responded politely, but soon felt tired. Finally, he smiled bitterly and begged for mercy: "Monkey, I really don't have the heart to talk to you now...you go find someone else."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Not mind?" Hou Deer asked knowingly: "Why are you not mindful?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid for me." Claude was amused and crying: "Aren't you going to take the exam too?"

Hou Deer spat disdainfully: "What are you afraid of in a small exam? It's really a waste of time!"

Claude knocked off the monkey's hand and said annoyedly: "Don't brag about this with me! I heard that anyone who doesn't get well in the exam will brag about going to the military academy! Look at you, didn't you take a shower, shaved your face, and change into new clothes?"

"Who said I took a shower and shaved my face?" Houdel denied it, and then smiled and grabbed Claude's arm: "I take a shower every day and shaved my face! If you don't believe me, you can smell it!"

Claude laughed and scolded: "Get out!"

"I want to ask you," Houdell saw the officers behind him all pricking up their ears and eavesdropping, so his voice raised three points: "Who told you that if you don't get well in the exam, you can't go to school?"

Claude hesitated: "Anyway, they all say that..."

"Fart!" Houdel roared, scaring the civilians around him so much that they took a few steps back: "How could Blood Wolf not let us go to military academy because we didn't do well in the exam? Do you think so, Doug?"

Doug replied slowly: "The announcement only said that the exam was going to be done, but did not say that the exam would be good, and what would the result would be if the exam was bad."

"That's right!" Houdel slapped his hands, hugged Claude's shoulder hard, and deliberately said with a rough voice: "I'll ask you, who did the military academy?"

"Mr. Montane." Claude replied immediately.

"Yes, it was done by the Blood Wolf." Houdel looked around provocatively, and finally stared at Claude: "I'll ask you again, who are we?"

Claude was stunned and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Before Claude responded, Hou Del slapped his chest with great enthusiasm: "We are the Blood Wolf's personal soldiers! They are the wolf cubs who were killed by swords and guns from the sea of ​​blood! Who did the Blood Wolf treat us badly? You! Let's give us ten thousand hearts!"

When he heard the monkey's words, Claude's expression was a little dim. He lowered his head and clenched his fingers, and said uneasy: "You... you always walk around you, of course you are not afraid. I... I have been working under the commander of Battalion Samujin, in charge of ships, baggage, and prisoners. I have never fought a big battle with you, nor have I talked to you, and you don't know who I am..."

Houdel suddenly felt a little ashamed, and he hurriedly comforted Claude: "Then you are not capable of anything and have never fought any battles. You rely on a few stinky money to buy officials! Ten thousand times better! If they can all go to the Blood Wolf's military academy, I don't believe you can't go to the."

As he said that, Hou Deer deliberately glanced at the "leather boots boys" behind him.

The appointed officers finally figured out who the thin monkey-like guy in front of him was for, and his face was mostly not very good-looking.

Just then, a cheerful voice came from the front.

"Monkey! I heard it was you from afar!" A veteran with a sword laughed and walked over from the checkpoint in front: "Is it embarrassing to run out again?"

The veteran with swordsman has bright eyes and a tall figure. Although he is a veteran, he is still only in his early twenties, which is at a good age when he is in his prime. He just walks a little limp on his left leg.

Seeing the veteran coming, not only Houdell, but even Claude quickly stood attentively and saluted: "Sergeant Ish, why are you here?"

"Isn't it because I was afraid that you would cause trouble, so I sent me to come to the door." The veteran replied with a smile.

He glanced at Houdeer warningly: "Monkey, have you shouted 'that' just now? Be careful that you will be heard by your Excellency and punish you to move stones at Maple Leaf Fort."

Hou Deer was embarrassed and immediately made a move of "slit up his mouth" and slapped himself gently.

When other reserve officers who were queuing in line saw the veterans, they also walked out of the crowd and stepped forward to salute and greet: "Sergeant Ish!"

The veterans meticulously returned gifts one by one.

...

[Yish Sweetwater] Sergeant is a very special figure in the Iron Peak County Army.

In terms of qualifications, his military service is as old as Tamas and Bart Shaling; but the latter has now been promoted to battalion commander and acting regiment commander, and Ish Sweetwater is still a sergeant.
