Huilongpo is the starting point of the western mountains of Beiting. In recent years, many business roads have converged here, and a small market has gradually formed.
On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the west wind blew strong and stirred up waves of yellow sand. The door of Huilong Inn was opened as usual.
If you look carefully, you will find that the shopkeeper and tenants in the inn on this day are not familiar faces from Huilongpo Market.
They sat together early in the morning, seeming to be discussing something.
"Our group scene is very important. We must follow the order we have rehearsed before. It must be perfect without making any mistakes, otherwise my uncle will definitely find problems with his intelligence." Standing in the c position is Zhang Peng
, at this moment he was dressed as a one-eyed thief and was telling everyone the details of acting.
That's right, Zhang Peng's plan is to perform a big drama for Xu Yanbing, the title of the drama is "Jiang Men Hu Zi Rebirth Inn Boy"!
"Uncle, don't worry, I've memorized all my lines, and I'll be sure to be foolproof!" Gundam dressed up as an inn boy and promised, patting his chest.
"What I'm afraid of is that you memorize by rote. The most important thing in acting is to immerse yourself in the plot. You must think about the character, actions, and habits of the character you play!" Zhang Peng made a serious request, "Once the drama starts,
The behavior of each of our characters must be consistent with their identity. I asked you to think about this, didn't you listen?"
Everyone looked at each other. Although they all expressed great enthusiasm for this big drama, they were not professional actors after all, and they had never thought that there were so many details in acting.
"There is only half a day left. Please listen to me one by one. I will analyze your characters one by one. I will only say it once. Listen carefully! Gundam, you..."
Just when the rehearsal at Huilongpo was making its final efforts, Xu Yanbing had already appeared on the bank of Dayue Lake.
"Major General, the changes in Beiting this year are really great. I don't know how to describe it!" A burly soldier followed Xu Yanbing on a tall horse. Along the way, he said to Beiting
He was amazed at the changes in the court, but his vocabulary was limited and he could not express his praise.
Ge Shuyan also came back with him, and his medical camp showed its talents in the Thirteenth Village of the Frontier Fortress. It not only helped the soldiers resist the invasion of smallpox, but also performed operations on many seriously injured patients, bringing many seriously injured people back to life.
"How about Biaozi? I'm not the only one who boasts about Zhangpeng County's horses, right? Have you seen the barley fields outside the city with your own eyes? Have you seen the waterwheel? Huh," the Biaozi in Ge Shuyan's mouth just couldn't find the adjective.
Big man.
Xu Yanbing seems much calmer. He has a smile on his face. He will stop and observe new things when he sees them along the way. With his knowledge, he can understand the structure of many things after just two glances. For example, Zhang
Peng invented the human-powered trolley, but there were some things he couldn't understand, such as blue bricks and cement.
"I really want to look at this brother-in-law with admiration," Xu Yanbing's handsome and tough face showed a trace of relief, "The most important thing is my sister Wanyi. I was always afraid that her life would be delayed by Zhang Peng, but now it seems
, Zhang Peng is indeed a good match."
Just as the three of them were marching forward talking and laughing, the scouting horse in front brought information about the road conditions: "Report to the Major General, there are a large number of migrating yellow sheep gathering on the road ahead, blocking the road. Please tell me if you need to drive them away."
The general decides."
"A large number of yellow sheep?" Xu Yanbing hesitated slightly. This was the first unexpected situation he encountered. "How big is it?"
He has seen the Northwest Yellow Sheep, a kind of wild sheep with a tough temperament and a very united nature, but he has only seen groups of hundreds at most.
"Tell the Major General, there are about thirty to forty thousand of them!"
"Twenty thousand?" Ge Shuyan's eyes widened. He was about to say that he was going to rush into the sheep herd and catch a few of them to beat and sacrifice, but now he had no such plan. The northwest yellow sheep were large in size and ferocious in temperament.
If there were hundreds of them, he could still catch them without restraint, but if there were tens of thousands... he was afraid of internal injuries from those violent rams.
"The question now is not whether to drive them away," Xu Yanbing suddenly reined in his horse. He suddenly realized something, "These yellow sheep have gathered in large numbers, most likely for the highland barley fields along the Canyang River!"
Biaozi and Ge Shuyan also reacted. They couldn't imagine the scene of 30,000 to 40,000 yellow sheep rushing into the highland barley fields and chewing seedlings!
These highland barley will be their main ration for the coming year! There is absolutely no room for loss!
Xu Yanbing's eyes gradually became sharp, and he decisively issued a military order: "We will be stationed along the Dayue Lake today. The entire army is on level 2 alert, ready to resist the impact of the yellow sheep herd at any time!"
Even if Ge Shuyan's medical battalion and Xu Yanbing's current team are included, there are only less than a thousand people. These thousand people are already stretched to guard the highland barley fields along Dayue Lake.
"As for the highland barley fields along the Canyang River, I believe that the commander-in-chief will definitely have arrangements. Don't think so much and set up camp immediately!" Xu Yan's soldiers were determined and there was no doubt.
The military order was quickly issued, and Xu Yan's soldiers, numbering less than a thousand soldiers, quickly settled down at the bank of Dayue Lake.
Naturally, Xu Yan's soldiers met the militia team that had been patrolling near Dayue Lake, and also met the honorary veteran Zhu Ya.
"Major General, you really saved our people in Dayue Lake. These yellow sheep are really overrun," Zhu Ya said when he heard that Xu Yan soldiers decided to station in Dayue Lake to help resist the attacks of the yellow sheep.
Thank you very much.
"You don't have to be polite. As soldiers of Beiting, it is our mission to protect the well-being of the people of Beiting," Xu Yanbing said humbly.
"Oh, Major General, don't stand outside all the time. There is a resting place in the waterwheel house. You are tired from traveling, so why not go there and rest," Zhu Ya invited.
"How can I occupy your place to rest? It's absolutely not allowed," Xu Yanbing subconsciously wanted to refuse.
"The Major General is wrong. The waterwheel house was built by the General's Mansion. We have been borrowing the General's place to rest. Besides, our home is in Dayue Lake. We can just go home and rest," Zhu said.
Ya explained.
"Major General, please don't refuse. You have been through a long and dusty journey. You should have a good rest tonight. The brothers will take turns patrolling the guard. You will not miss anything. Don't worry." Biaozi also thought that Zhu Ya's words were reasonable.
, persuaded.
Xu Yanbing couldn't resist everyone's invitation, so he stopped declining.
It was night, and torches were lit beside Dayue Lake. None of the patrolling soldiers relaxed their vigilance. The yellow sheep were afraid of the fire. Although they were greedy for the delicious taste of highland barley seedlings, they were very afraid of the two-legged monsters holding torches.
In the "maintenance crew lounge" of the waterwheel house, Xu Yanbing soon felt sleepy. Perhaps it was the long-lost smell of the fields that gave him a sense of security, and he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
"Mr. Latiske, the Major General has already fallen asleep in the lounge!"
In a small village by Dayue Lake, "honest man" Zhu Ya was holding an oil lamp and reporting work to Latis in the carriage.
"Very good. If it weren't for you, Uncle Zhu, I'm afraid the Major General wouldn't have easily moved into the waterwheel house." Latis smiled slightly, "Then we will continue to implement the plan...Senior Baili, we need you to take action!"
Baili Yunxi, who was riding in the carriage, seemed a little nervous, with a look of unconfidence and embarrassment on her beautiful face: "This is the first time I've done anything pretending to be a ghost. I don't know if I'll be fooled..."
