The guard was happy, patted her head twice with his hand and said, "Young kid, why are you sighing!"
Ruyi has no stage fright or fear of people. She has the quality of a country child who is not afraid of anything.
"My mother is dead, my family is gone, and I worshiped a master and had it thrown away. If it were you, wouldn't you sigh?" Ruyi asked in return.
What the childish voice said were grown-up words, and the guard couldn't help laughing.
It turned out to be a poor child. The guard thought. After thinking about it, he knew that the Taoist priest just now must be related to this matter, and his contempt for the Taoist priest increased a little more.
The guard began to like this dirty child from the bottom of his heart. The job of guarding the city was hard and boring, but he was able to meet countless people. Ordinary people looked trembling when they saw him, and even licked their faces like a Taoist priest to please him.
There are really not many people who dare to speak out like this kid.
"It's up to you, are you afraid?" The guard knelt down and looked directly into Ruyi's eyes.
Ruyi scratched his head that was buzzing with lice and said: "I'm not afraid, but I just don't know what to do. I have to think of a solution..."
"Hahaha!" The guard was amused by Ruyi's serious thinking.
"A good boy, you have courage. Do you want to be a soldier? I think you are a good material. Maybe you can become a famous general in the future." The guard said with a smile.
Ruyi was startled for a moment, thinking that since she was a child, she had heard from her mother that it would be a great honor for a child of a family in the village to become a soldier. But she had never heard of girls being able to serve as soldiers.
After thinking about it in my mind, I realized that the guard must have mistook her for a boy.
Boys can be boys, there is nothing wrong with boys. The young Ruyi has no objection to gender. She yearns to be a boy more than a girl because she knows that her mother has always wanted a son.
Another guard next to him came over and whispered: "Brother Li, this is not war time. It is not that easy to become a soldier. The Military Service Office in Jimo thinks that our brothers are getting in the way and is trying every possible means to repatriate the veterans.
.I’m afraid it’s not that easy to bring a child in.”
The man known as Brother Li waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about this, I have my own sense of proportion. It's definitely not possible to be a recruit from the beginning, but this guy is very smart. He can go to the military quarters to help first. I heard that there are some people over there.
A young kid who is just a good companion."
After guard Li Ge's duty time ended, he led Ruyi on horseback to the military service office in Jimo City.
It was the first time for Ruyi to ride a big horse. She was excited and nervous at the same time. She hugged Brother Li tightly with her little hands.
Brother Li laughed at her: "You are young, but your hands are quite strong."
Brother Li is about thirty-four or five years old, with a full beard and a sense of righteousness written on his weathered face. Since he has been working here all year round, even though he has a low military rank, the people in the Military Service Department can still sell some thin noodles.
Ruyi should be asked to report to the Military Supplies Department, the logistics department under the Military Service Department.
Brother Li couldn't go in and out of the munitions office, so he stood at the door and explained a few words.
"Work hard, be smart, and don't cause trouble, you know." Brother Li said.
Ruyi shed tears and nodded.
I have only known Brother Li for a short time, but he is very kind to me, much better than that Taoist priest who doesn't look for boundaries.
"Brother Li, don't worry. Ruyi is very well-behaved."
Brother Li scratched Ruyi's nose with his hand and said, "Why are you still crying like a little girl?"
