Captain Yang was angry and annoyed when he saw the lazy soldiers.
Because my heart was on fire, I couldn't help but hit harder. The whip made a shocking noise, but what was louder than the sound of the whip was the scream of the soldier. The shrill and harsh scream made everyone's scalp numb, and they turned their heads away and dared not go.
Looking at the unlucky guy who looked pale and seemed to have lost half of his life, I felt a bit like a rabbit dying and a fox dying.
Half of the people here were brought out by Captain Yang.
They usually admire this boss who doesn't talk too much and is immersed in work. They also know that he will become irritable when things happen, but they never expected to be so irritable. Why don't they want to leave? They really don't have the strength to leave.
I can't move, I can't push it.
Even the scout who suggested a detour felt a chill in his neck. Only then did he realize that he had made a bad idea.
I chose to take a detour because I wanted to save time.
Who would have thought that the mountain road would be so muddy...
Soldiers' physical strength is depleted at an unusually high rate.
In the end, Zhai Huan couldn't stand the farce anymore and took the initiative to comfort Captain Yang. The reason he gave was justifiable - if the soldiers ran out of energy and encountered an enemy who came out of nowhere, they would still be able to defend themselves against the enemy.
The strength?
Captain Yang's face turned dark instantly.
Why doesn't he know what Zhai Huan is worried about?
He thought that taking a detour would speed up the pace, but instead he was stuck in an embarrassing situation of being stuck in an awkward situation. He had the intention to turn back, but this would only waste more time. If he forced himself to continue walking, the soldier would obviously not be able to hold on for long.
It’s really sad!
"Not long after I came to Xiaocheng, I heard the name of Captain mentioned more than once. Everyone said that you are well-trained soldiers and love soldiers like a son. I have admired you privately for a long time. I also know that Captain is only irritable because of his dedication to his duties. It would be wrong for anyone else.
I can't do it more carefully than you. It's just that the journey is important, and the health of the soldiers is also important. We can't give the enemy an opportunity. I ask Captain Yang to think twice."
Zhai Huan was accustomed to reading people's hearts. Seeing that Captain Yang's eyes were not as firm as before, he struck while the iron was hot and put on a few tall hats for him.
Who doesn’t want to hear nice soft words?
Captain Yang's cheeks were taut and he did not open his mouth, but his face had indeed changed from gloomy to the naked eye, and his anger had become a little less intense.
"Yes, sir, what you said makes sense."
He also knew in his heart that the scribe's mouth was a lie. It would be good if one out of ten compliments was true. Just listen to some good words and don't take them seriously. But Zhai Huan's words also gave him a step, and he waved his hand and ordered everyone.
The army rests for a quarter of an hour.
As if they had been granted amnesty, all the soldiers found places to sit in the shade, drank water or ate dry food, and took the time to replenish their physical strength.
"It's bitter, I don't know how long this journey will take."
He sat and beat his legs, which were as hard as stone.
"Oh, who knows. Look, my top can be squeezed out with two pounds of water." To keep cool, he took off his top and exposed his arms.
"If you say a few words, how can you survive if the captain hears you?"
As soon as these words came out, several nearby soldiers felt sad and chose to keep silent. Their mouths were closed, but it was unclear whether they were angry or cursing in their hearts. Everyone had their heads drooped, except for one person who stretched his neck. Look around.
Needless to say, this person is Zhai Le.
Zhai Huan winked at him several times but to no avail.
This cousin has always been very active.
"What did you do again?"
Zhai Le said with a smile: "Of course I was waiting to see when the jujube and wine sellers would come. The wine bags and drinks were all gone. If I had known this, I would have asked Brother Shen how many more jars he would make. Why am I being itched by the wine bug now."
Zhai Huan's eyelids trembled violently.
He lectured: "Your addiction to alcohol is getting worse..."
Before being officially crowned, he was developing towards Jiu Mengzi.
What to do next?
"Hey, isn't that because getting drunk can solve a thousand worries?"
Zhai Le didn't really want to drink, he simply thought it was interesting to see the novel reflected in reality, but the "Liangshan heroes who sold dates and wine" he had longed for did not appear. A quarter of an hour later, the soldier did not dare to lie on the ground no matter how reluctant he was.
Captain Yang likes to be vegetarian, but the whip in his hand is not vegetarian.
But the house leaked and it rained all night——
Misfortune never comes alone.
Everyone set out on the road again. Only a quarter of an hour later, a heavy drizzle began to fall from the sky. As the rain increased, this section of the path became increasingly difficult to walk. The long team was like a slowly crawling snail, and it took a long time to move. The sweat mixed with the rain made Captain Yang's mood drop directly to the lowest limit.
The wheels of the car ran over the puddle and splashed large amounts of yellow mud.
Zhai Le wiped a handful of rainwater hanging on his eyelids and sighed: "It's really painful, I'm afraid I'm going to be trapped here."
The imaginary enemy has not come out, so it is rare for him to get himself into such a mess first. Just as he was talking, a soldier pushing a cart not far away slipped and lost his footing. He had not yet climbed onto the puddle of cart wheels. Using inertia, he came down and crushed his feet.
The person and the car rolled into the grass on the roadside.
Captain Yang heard the commotion and came over on horseback to check on the situation.
Because the cart tilted, the two large boxes loaded on the cart also rolled down. The seals had already been wet by the rain, and ingots of silver rolled out. Yang Duwei's anger instantly rushed to his brain, and he struck two or three whips without even thinking about it. , beating the soldier so hard that he rolled around with his head in his hands.
Zhai Huan: "..."
It's one thing to speculate, but it's another thing to be confirmed. This tax bank team is actually real!
Captain Yang quickly ordered people to clean up the mess.
Zhai Huan and the other two pretended that they did not see this scene.
The team continued on the road, but slower than before.
Suddenly, Zhai Le's spirit was shaken.
"Brother, brother, there is a flute sound!"
The rain curtain connects the sky and the earth, and the only sound left in my ears is the patter of rainwater beating against everything. After listening to it too much, I just feel boring. At this time, I heard a little unusual sound.
The clear distance is melodious and drifting.
The sound of the flute is full of endless liveliness and enthusiasm, and when you listen to it carefully, it sounds like the legendary mountain ghost singing with its neck, which is unparalleled in beauty.
Zhai Huan's ears were not as good as his, so he didn't hear it at first.
But as the source of the sound gradually approached, people's shadows came out of the rain curtain of the same color as the sky and the earth. Captain Yang tensed his nerves, secretly worried that a thief was coming. His subordinate officer held a knife, clapped his horse and came forward. As he got closer, he realized that it was a thief.
An old man, a young man and an old cow.
He came with such force that he frightened the old man and the young man.
The melodious sound of the flute just now stopped suddenly.
"Stop! Who are you waiting for?"
The shepherd boy on the back of the cow cowered in fear.
The old man was not much better, but he still had the courage to report back.
It turned out that they were a pair of grandfather and grandson who depended on each other. The grandson was grazing cattle nearby during the day. The old man saw something strange in the sky and was worried about his grandson's safety, so he came over to give him a raincoat and a bamboo hat. The rain changed too quickly, and the sky was getting dark.
So the companions returned home.
There is nothing wrong with this statement. At a glance, the grandfather and grandson knew that they were ordinary people in a remote village. After a few words of cross-examination, the official said: "There is a soldier in front doing business. You should leave quickly and don't block the way.
An innocent life was lost."
The old man opened his mouth, but he couldn't express his sorrow.
This request is truly rude.
This is the way their grandparents go home.
How to “leave quickly”?
Why should I stand in the way?

I really want to feel the beauty of typing on a mechanical keyboard. The crackling sound is really exciting, and I can vent my emotions at the same time. I am waiting for the Double Eleven to switch to a pink mechanical keyboard. Hey, the color of the keyboard for the monthly ticket lottery is a bit hard to describe. That brand is so
There are many co-branded keyboards, but I chose the most straight-looking color scheme...
PS: Hee hee, by the way, let’s take a prize-free guess at the identities of the old man and the shepherd boy.
