Chapter 1022 as a soldier

Every day, new refugees come to Lingqiu.

Zhao Jiayu is just a resettlement site for refugees. There are five resettlement sites like this in Lingqiu. Many adobe houses are built in each place to accommodate refugees.

The weather is cold and there are no houses, so refugees can't survive this winter.

The adobe houses were built in rows, with three generations of blood relatives living together, and clans joined forces to Lingqiu, and were all scattered to different resettlement sites.

"Brother, what do you think this is?" The third brother walked into the house with a jar of wine in his hand.

Zhou Youshun and the third brother are brothers. They were arranged to live together according to the family and had two adobe houses.

"Brother Youshun."

Daniu and Ma Datou who followed the third brother into the house greeted Zhou Youshun at the same time.

"Come in and sit down." Zhou Youshun stood up from the kang and warmly greeted Daniu and Datou.

Ma Datou held the piece of meat in his hand and placed it on the table beside him.

"What are you doing? No one is rich. Why do you bring such expensive meat to do? Take it back quickly. It is better to prepare more food for yourself than to have this money, and life will be better." Zhou Youshun said unhappily.

They all escaped from disaster-stricken places. He knew that life was not easy for anyone.

The third brother who entered the house smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, they have found a business and will not lack meat in the future. Look at me, I bought a jar of wine. This is a good sorghum brew. When I was in my hometown, you couldn't afford to drink it even if you wanted to."

He lifted the wine jar and shook it.

Then he put the wine and the meat on the table together.

"Have you found a living too?" Zhou Youshun looked at the wine and meat on the table, and finally his eyes fell on the third brother.

The third brother bared his teeth and smiled, saying, "I found a business with Brother Ma and Da Niu, so I bought some wine and meat with Da Niu and Da Niu. Come to you, please celebrate together."

"Just find a living. Once you have a living, you won't go hungry in the future." Zhou Youshun looked happy.

Ma Datou smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Youshun, the business we were looking for was 800 yuan a month, three meals a day. I heard that every meal was covered in oil."

"Yes, yes, yes, not only does it have wages, but it will give you food every month." The big bull next to him added.

Hearing these words, the smile on Zhou Youshun's face gradually disappeared, his brows frowned, and he looked at the third brother and said, "Three brothers, tell me, what kind of business did you find?"

"Brother Datou and Daniu joined the Tiger Flag's baggage team. Not only me, but many people also joined the baggage team. The money for buying wine and drinking meat was given by others after joining the baggage team." The third brother said in a light tone, not paying attention to Zhou Youshun's ugly face.

However, Ma Datou, who was drinking Daniu, both noticed that Zhou Youshun's face was not good.

"I'll beat you to death, an ignorant thing." Zhou Youshun raised the wooden stick in his hand and tugged it on the third leg.

The third brother, who was stuck in his thigh, jumped up in pain, hid aside, and shouted, "Brother, why are you trying to hit me? I'm here to come to see you with wine."

"You are a slut, and you don't discuss anything like this in the army. People say that your elder brother is like your father. Today I will teach you a lesson for your father." As he said that, Zhou Youshun raised his stick and wanted to beat the third brother again.

Ma Datou and Daniu on the side were busy stopping him.

One of them grabbed the stick with his hands, and the other stopped Zhou Youshun and prevented him from chasing the third brother.

"Brother Youshun, Brother Youshun, don't do anything, say anything well." Ma Datou grabbed the stick with one hand, and persuaded her.

Zhou Youshun shook the stick a few times, but he couldn't pull it out of Ma Datou's hand. In the end, he had to give up helplessly and said, "Two brothers, you shouldn't be in the army."

"Brother Youshun doesn't want the third brother to be this baggage soldier?" Ma Datou said with a frown.

Zhou Youshun sighed and said, "A good man is not a soldier, and he is not a soldier. Even if he is a tenant, he is better than being a soldier."

"As a tenant, you can't eat enough, and you can eat enough when you are a soldier. And people say that you can eat enough for three meals a day, and every meal is enough for you." said the third brother hiding by the wall.

After hearing this, Zhou Youshun grabbed his stick and was about to beat the third brother, but was stopped by Ma Datou, who was quick-witted by his hands and eyes.

Ma Datou said: "Brother Youshun, the third brother said something. When I was in my hometown, I rented land from wealthy farmers. After a year of hard work, most of the food I collected was paid for the land rent. The remaining little food was not enough to fill my stomach. I had to dig wild vegetables every year to barely starve to death."

"We have inquired before joining the baggage team. The baggage team with the tiger flag never owes wages, and they will be paid in the month." Daniu said from the side.

Zhou Youshun patted his thigh and said, "This is not wages, it is the salary for the soldiers. If you join the Tiger Flag's baggage team, you are the Tiger Flag's soldiers."

"The tiger flag is a business name. We are the luggage team for the tiger flag. It is similar to the guards of the caravan, and it is not considered a soldier." Lao San retorted.

Zhou Youshun pointed at Lao San with his finger and said, "You still dare to be stubborn. Have you ever seen soldiers with the tiger flag? There are cavalry riding horses and infantry armoured men. Your baggage soldier is the same as those soldiers."

"Even soldiers are soldiers from the business, they don't have to go to the battlefield to fight, and they are not considered military households. They have such high wages every month. You haven't seen them, so there are so many people who sign up!" said the third brother.

Zhou Youshun said with a sad face: "It's even more terrifying because it's a soldier from a business."

"What's so scary about this? Brother, you're just worried. So many people have signed up to join the baggage team, but I didn't see any problems." The third brother said disapprovingly.

Daniu on the side also said, "There are a lot of people who have signed up to join the baggage team! Not everyone can join, they have to choose. The third brother, I and Datou were selected by others, and some people are not as good as the three of us, so they are not selected."

"Confused." Zhou Youshun cursed and then said, "The tiger flag is just a business, what are you doing to raise so many soldiers? Have you ever thought about it?"

Ma Datou and the others were stunned for a moment.

As Zhou Youshun's younger brother, the third brother took the lead and said, "I heard that the business of the tiger flag is very big. Will it be because of this reason that they have raised more soldiers?"

"You are just a pig-brained person. Who would raise so many soldiers by your side?" Zhou Youshun said sternly.

The third brother said hesitantly: "No, it's not that serious. It's not that the boss of the tiger flag is a high-ranking official, we are doing things for the government."
