As soon as he sat down, Liu Juan felt the sound of someone's footsteps coming from behind, and he suddenly became alert. Although his expression didn't seem to have changed at all, he was actually waiting for the opportunity.
The footsteps stopped behind him, and then the sound of wind stirred up by his palms came from the air. Liu Juan was about to fight back, but immediately stopped his movements abruptly, because the message from the wind told him that this was the case.
There is no force in a person's palm, as if he is really saying hello to himself.
At the same time, Liu Juan quickly relaxed the tight muscles on his body. If the opponent was at his level, he could judge the opponent's reaction by touching the opponent and feeling the tension of the opponent's muscles, thereby judging the opponent's strength.
When the slap landed on his shoulder, Liu Juan pretended to be shocked. He turned around and looked in horror, only to find that the other person was a tall man with a head of over 1.9 meters, and his exposed arms were much larger than Liu Juan's.
He walked around for a while, but what didn't match his figure was that there was a kind of simplicity on the other person's face.
Seeing that Liu Juan was frightened by him, the man scratched his head in embarrassment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just wanted to say hello to you!"
Liu Juan smiled and said: "It's okay!"
Hearing what Liu Juan said, the man also smiled, cupped his fists and said, "My name is Er Hai, I don't know your surname!"
Liu Juan quickly stood up, clasped his fists and said, "My name is Er Yi!"
After the two of them were polite, Erhai asked again: "Are you here to be a soldier too?"
Liu Juan nodded and said: "If you can't survive anymore, go to the army and make a living!"
Erhai grinned and said: "Similar to me, I can eat too much at home, so I decided to join the army!"
Liu Juan smiled on his face and shook his head inwardly: Nowadays, the productivity of Aolai Country is not very good, and there is not much food left after paying taxes. Just looking at Erhai's size, you can tell that his appetite must be
It's normal that the family can't afford to feed you if you are not young. Although the army sometimes has to work hard, when there is no war, it can still provide enough food.
As if he had found a soulmate, Erhai was about to say a few words, but Liu Juan's name was already being shouted at the archery range over there, so Liu Juan smiled apologetically, said goodbye to Erhai, and walked towards the archery range.
After arriving, Liu Juan stood in front of an archery target. There was a soldier next to him holding a stack of paper, and then read: "Er Yi, twenty-three years old, an Orion, currently living in Er Village."
After he finished reciting, he asked: "Is it you?"
Liu Juan nodded and said, "Master Jun, you are such a villain!"
The soldier nodded with satisfaction, pointed to the weapon rack next to him, and said: "Here are the bows and crossbows currently used by our army, and below are the corresponding arrow branches. Choose the one that suits you. You are an Orion, the best
It is best to choose a bow that is similar to the bow you usually use for hunting, so that you can shoot more accurately."
Liu Juan's shout of military master just now made him feel very comfortable, so he gave some more instructions.
Liu Juan immediately said: "Thank you, Master Jun, for your advice!" Then he chose a bow that was the same as the bow used by the Jin Yiwei that he had broken, picked up the quiver below, walked back to his shooting position, and put the arrow in
He placed the barrel on his right, and then asked: "Master Jun, I don't know how many arrows must be hit to be considered qualified."
The soldier looked at him and rejected him with satisfaction, and replied: "In the past, if you could hit five out of ten arrows, you would be considered qualified, but this year General Ruowen changed the test method. In the past, at most six arrows out of ten were hit, so
It would be better if you could shoot five arrows!"
Liu Juan nodded. After thanking him, he opened his bow and shot out all ten arrows in a flash. Since he thought that five arrows would be enough, he didn't pay much attention to his method. As a result, the first five arrows were shot out.
All the arrows missed, and the next five arrows all hit the target.
After the shooting was completed, the voice of the target checking soldier came from the opposite side. After hearing this, the soldier couldn't help being stunned, and then smiled and said: "You are not bad, you can hit five arrows, there should be no problem, go back and wait for the news."
"
Liu Juan nodded, put the bow, arrows and quiver back to their original positions before saying goodbye and leaving.
Because there were so many people in the school grounds today, Liu Juan didn't notice that there were two people looking at him in the crowd, and these two people turned out to be Harry Oil and the man he beat up yesterday... Seeing Liu Juan leaving, haha
Li Youcai proudly said to the big man, "Brother, what I said is right, it's this boy."
The big man nodded and said: "Yes, even though this guy has shaved off his beard, I can still recognize him at a glance. I really didn't expect that he would dare to join the army. God help me."
Then he pointed at the soldier who was in charge of supervising Liu Juan's examination just now and said, "Go and ask him how he did in shooting?"
Harry nodded immediately and ran to ask, but in the big man's eyes, there was a hint of ferocity.
After a while, Harry ran back and said quickly: "I asked, that brat called Eryi, he hit five of the ten arrows."
The big man nodded and whispered: "Five out of ten arrows, there will be no problem in getting in."
Harry Oil also nodded and said: "Yes, let's find a way to get it to our place so that we can repair him!"
When the big man heard this, he raised his hand and gave Harry some oil. He said, "You are stupid. With that kid's ability, who among us can beat him? If you bring him to our place, you are not causing trouble for yourself."
Harry rubbed his head grumpily and said with a sad face: "What should we do? Just let him go?"
"Let him go?"
The big man chuckled and said: "How is it possible? I want him to live and die."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said: "Give me all your money, I'll buy some good wine, and I'll look for Wu Xiaowei tonight!"
When entering the military, the specific branch of service is generally not announced in advance. One of the reasons is to prevent some soldiers from taking the back door, and it will also encourage bad habits.
The specific list was announced the next day and posted at the vegetable market. Many people gathered to watch it. Liu Juan was also among them. Seeing that his own pseudonym was among them, he couldn't help but be very satisfied. At least a little bit.
That is, half of his plan has been realized, and the rest is to find opportunities in the army to enter the inner defense.
After the list was announced, everyone was notified the next day to gather at the temporary school grounds and then walk to Nanzheng, where they, together with nearly 5,000 other people from various places, would become new recruits in the Nanzheng garrison.
The journey to Nanzheng was a bit monotonous. On the way, Liu Juan deliberately kept a certain distance from the people around him. As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will make mistakes. Now, he still has to be patient and hide everything in his heart.
, he is just an honest, illiterate, timid Eryi. As for whether he is like this, no one in the army except a few people knows.
And Harry You and others also knew that Liu Juan was difficult to offend, so they did not provoke him. At the same time, they had already made arrangements, and there was no need to create extra complications, so the journey was peaceful.
One day later, Liu Juan and a group of others finally arrived in Nanzheng, but the military camp was five miles east of the town. For this group of new recruits, the town was not the place to stay.
Nanzheng has always been an important town for the Aolai Kingdom to protect the outskirts of Kyoto, so there are many troops stationed here. By the time Liu Juan arrived here, basically all the new soldiers from all over the country had arrived, numbering five thousand. Liu Juan only arrived
There was no rest after that, and he was immediately pulled to the school field, where the troops were immediately assigned. Because there were too many people, each recruiting officer was responsible for the assignment of the soldiers he recruited.
Liu Juan still looked honest, standing quietly in the team, looking at the school field, watching the soldiers being called by name one by one, and then standing into several teams according to their names, he still couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Excited, after all, this is a new beginning for him.
"I really didn't expect that Xiao Shuihua over there asked me to join the dragon group, and here I wanted to join the army. I'm really a ￥￥ material."
Liu Juan couldn't help but think about it, and then he looked forward and found that there were fewer and fewer soldiers in his team, but they never called him, and Liu Juan clearly remembered that his name should be in the middle.
Liu Juan suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and couldn't help but mutter in his heart: "It seems that things have changed!"
Then, his eyes once again surrendered to the remaining people around him. In addition, he only had four people left. One of them he still knew, that was the person he had spoken to for a few words on the day of the audition.
Big men, and the other two were not small in stature. In Liu Juan's eyes, if nothing else, the stature of these three people made them the material to be soldiers.
"What are you looking at?"
Suddenly there was a shout from the front.
Liu Juan was startled and turned around to look. The speaker was the officer in charge of the assignment. He immediately lowered his head and said, "I'm new here, so I'm a little distracted!"
The officer curled his lips and whispered: "Things that have never seen the world are scared by such a small scene. They are so worthless!"
"Yes, yes!"
Although he cursed the officer in front of him thoroughly in his heart, Liu Juan still said respectfully, and then asked: "General, don't you know which branch of the military I belong to?"
The officer looked at him doubtfully and asked, "What's your name?"
Jiang Lang immediately said respectfully: "Er Yi!"
"Er Yi!"
The officer muttered carefully, then flipped through the book in his hand and said casually: "Eryi, Erhai, Erguo, and Ergou, the four of you have been assigned to the most promising branch of our military, and now you are here.
Wait for the officer responsible for receiving you!"
After he finished speaking, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Harry Oil and others who were standing around to maintain order were also laughing secretly: The most promising branch of the military is the cook!
When he first heard the words "the most promising branch of the military," Liu Juan had an ominous premonition in his heart. Frankly speaking, the best branch of the military should be the cavalry. As one of the main forces of the army, they have the best equipment.
Most of the current officers, except for those who were placed through nepotism, were born in the cavalry. The cavalry assigned now is already aside, leaving only myself and four others. This shows that I and the other four are definitely not cavalry.
The military officer who mentioned the most promising branch of the military was probably kidding himself.
Pretending to be casual, Liu Juan turned around to look at Harry and the others, and found that they all had a hint of a sinister smile on their faces, which was clearly a smile in which a treacherous plot succeeded!
In an instant, Liu Juan understood that the so-called most promising military services were probably the least popular military services.
"Bastard thing!"
Liu Juan cursed secretly, and then couldn't help but sigh: He didn't expect that he would be tricked just after he joined the army. If he was really assigned to this kind of military service, wouldn't it be even more difficult to enter the inner guard?
?
For the first time, Liu Juan had a little doubt about his future and a little worry!
Just when Liu Juan sighed, the officer suddenly smiled and said, "Your commander is here!"
Hearing this, Liu Juan immediately raised his head, and his heart suddenly went cold. The officer he was talking about was an out-and-out fat man. He looked to be in his thirties, and he couldn't be described as a pumpkin at all.
Wrong, and this person can be considered to have a glowing face. To be precise, his face is glowing.
The look of the man in front of him reminded Liu Juan of the old man in the cafeteria when he was at school. He had an obvious thing in common with his future commander, that is, he was fat.
After the officer finished speaking, he immediately went up to him and said with a smile: "Fat man De, why are you here so late? We are waiting for you here!"
The officer known as Lao De was called Wude. He was the steward of the military kitchen and was responsible for the food for ten thousand people. Because he was too fat, he was called the fat man.
When Fatty De heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Wu Xiaowei, I'm so sorry. I was busy accepting more than twenty people just now, so I'm late! To make amends, how about I treat you to a drink tonight?"
Wu Xiaowei laughed and said: "This is what you said, I am not blackmailing you!"
Fatty De nodded immediately and said: "That's it, that's it, by the way, where is the person you left for me?"
Wu Xiaowei pointed at Liu Juan and the other four people and said, "This time we didn't recruit enough people, so I didn't dare to leave you more, so I left four. What do you think?"
Fatty De looked at Jiang Lang and the others, then walked up to Liu Juan and others and looked them up and down.
As soon as the man approached, Liu Juan immediately smelled the smell of oil smoke and couldn't help but frown. He could clearly hear the conversation between Captain Wu and the fat man in front of him just now. He didn't know what others were thinking, but now in his own heart
He knew very well what he wanted to do: that was to pin Wu Xiaowei and others who were laughing slyly to the ground and give them a good beating.
He thought this in his heart, but Liu Juan couldn't act on it. He could only hold back the anger in his heart and accept the fact that he was about to be called an honorable cook. After all, he was considered a soldier anyway, but this
It's really depressing to be a soldier, and what's even more sad is that I don't know how I can establish some prestige in the military as Wuliang said. Is it to be famous for cooking? Join the inner guard and continue to work as a cook?
While Liu Juan was thinking, the fat man also looked at the four people, then turned to Wu Xiaowei and said: "Not bad, not bad, these four people are just right."
Wu Xiaowei laughed and said: "Then I will leave these four people to you. First, if you run away, you don't care about my business!"
The fat man also smiled and said: "Run? Don't be kidding me. No one is willing to run where I am!"
After finishing speaking, he turned to look at the four of them and said, "Let me tell you, apart from anything else, I have enough food to take care of you! And the most important thing is, you don't need to train!"
The fat man also knows that among the soldiers now, how many of them are willing to work hard, not just to earn a living? So this sentence is very tempting to ordinary people.
Sure enough, before Liu Juan could react, he heard Erhai grinning next to him and said, "I'm satisfied? That's what I like to hear."
Surprised, Liu Juan turned around and saw Er Hai next to him showing a simple and honest smile, his eyes shining with excitement. Although the other two people were not as explicit as Er Hai's expression, their eyes showed excitement.
Jiang Lang couldn't help but sigh in his heart and thought to himself: Let the cook be the cook!
Then he rolled his eyes, and his eyes suddenly looked the same as those of Er Hai and others. After all, in Aolai Country, there were not many ordinary people who could keep calm in front of the temptation of rice.
In this way, Comrade Liu Juan became a glorious cook, or cook, in the Aolai Kingdom.
Liu Juan looked at the blue sky, I am going to Tsinghua University, but Liu Juan thought about the 21st century, many doctoral students are vying to be the losers, and it is not a big deal for a high school student to be a breadwinner here.
Who said he didn't have a father here? Liu Juan looked at Erhai's smiling face, this is a big rice bowl.
