The temperature of the lime water is a little higher than expected, but it is not fatal. After soaking, the skin will be red for a while. I don't know if it is my imagination, but I always feel itchy all over my body.
Aqil had never known that there were so many bugs hidden in one person's body. The person who jumped in with him now had dozens of bugs of various colors floating around him, most of which were fleas. Each one had a belly full of bugs.
It's big and round, and I don't know how much blood it has sucked.
Needless to say, Aqil himself was not much better. No wonder he had seen people from a distance beside the puddle constantly fishing out things, emotionally fishing for bugs soaked from their bodies.
Looking at the corpses of these bugs, Aqil couldn't help but believe a little bit about the claim that lime water can prevent and disinfect epidemics.
"Are we coming, or are you coming by yourself?" A young man holding a big brush in one hand came over and asked with a smile.
"Do it by yourself, do it by yourself." Aqil responded hurriedly. The guys next to him who were crying and howling were a lesson learned from the past. These seemingly amiable young soldiers were not polite at all when they started attacking.
A pig-hair brush used to brush the body of a war horse.
Aqil didn't dare to deal with official matters, so he tried his best to wash off all the plaster on his body, because when he got out of the pool, the young soldiers would check them one by one. If they failed, it would not be a matter of washing them again, but
It was their people who personally took action, and they cleaned them up. They are absolutely clean, but they all look like red-skinned pigs. They probably won't get better in two or three days.
Aqil was lucky enough to pass the test in one go.
But if you want to eat big white steamed buns and salty soup, you still need to pass a few levels.
With the lesson learned from the past, Aqil could do what he did next without bothering the other party. He took the dagger and cleaned up the hair that was almost up to his waist in three or two strokes, revealing a big white head that was like this everywhere.
With his big head, there was nothing he couldn't accept or feel embarrassed about. Except for his scalp being a little cold, he felt much more relaxed.
"name."
"Achille."
"What a good name. In the Andis language, it means a strong man who can draw a powerful bow. Your relatives have high expectations of you. Do you have the strength?"
"Thank you." Aqil thanked him sincerely. It was the first time he knew that his name had such a unique meaning, and he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
He is very experienced in the questions he was asked. When slave owners inspected slaves, they would ask similar questions in order to allocate jobs. Don’t dare to talk nonsense about this kind of thing, otherwise you will be assigned a job that is not suitable for you, and you will be unlucky in the end.
, Aqil replied truthfully, "It should be okay. It shouldn't be a problem to lift three to four hundred pounds of stone."
Hearing this, the young man who had been taking notes looked up at Aqil and said with a smile: "The information you reported is only preliminary information. Someone will verify it when the time comes. If you make a false report, there will be no punishment, but for you
The future development is not very favorable, do you need to change it? I don’t need to remember it.”
Aqil hesitated for a moment. The results he mentioned just now were from two years ago. He has grown a bit in the past two years, so he probably hasn't regressed. He finally nodded.
"Okay, I didn't expect that there is a Hercules seedling here, age."
"Probably fifteen." Aqil was unsure. Even his father was confused about his age, let alone himself.
"Okay, he's another fool who doesn't even know the year of his birth." Young Jun was not surprised, because there were already a bunch of people in front of him, "then fifteen, have you ever learned a bow or a sword?"
"No, but I have participated in militia training and practiced spear training for a few days."
"A combined military attack?"
"No, it's just a simple assassination."
"This is useless. It doesn't count. Do you know how to read?"
"I don't know."
"Other specialties are things that you are good at, such as farming, logging, and quarrying."
"This is available, this is available, logging, quarrying, repairing city walls, I can do simple forging, and I can also calcine lime." Aqil's self-confidence collapsed due to the other party's series of questions, and he felt that he was almost useless.
of waste.
Finally asked what he was good at, he immediately poured the beans into the bamboo tube, eager to show off everything he knew. This was a good opportunity to achieve the first life goal he had just set.
"Well, not bad. I didn't expect him to be an all-round talent. He can learn so many things, which shows that he has a very flexible mind. It would be a waste if he were directly assigned to the engineers. Let's give you a chance. As for whether you can stay,
It's up to you. Put this wooden sign away. This is your identity certificate in the future. Don't lose it. You will use it to get things and meals. This is only temporary. I will replace it with a bronze one when there is time.
, like me, your name is on the front, and your number and battalion affiliation are on the back. Your current number is 001027, which belongs to the first battalion. The one on the far left is, your commander is Marshall, you can go to him to report.
, I’ve collected your clothes and food. If you have time, ask someone for advice. At least you should know your name and be able to write it!"
"Yes, I will definitely do it!" Aqil held the round wooden sign tightly, as if he was holding the most precious treasure. He looked at the words on it over and over again. It turned out that this was his name. It turned out that his name was so
The writing is really beautiful.
"Next one, why do you still have questions?"
"Sir, one more question, which side is the left?" Aqil asked a little embarrassedly. In front of these young soldiers, he felt like a fool. He didn't even understand the meaning of many words.
"Which hand do you usually use best?" Young Jun didn't laugh at Aqil. This kind of situation is very common even among ordinary mountain people, let alone people who have been slaves since childhood, and they have a serious lack of common sense.
"This one." Aqil raised his left hand and said.
"Left-handed people, please remember that the hand you usually use is your left hand, and the other hand is your right hand. Taking the center of your body as the point, the left hand is called the left hand, and the right hand is called the right hand.
"The young soldier rubbed his forehead and murmured in a low voice, "If you want to reorganize them, there is a long way to go. Marshall and the others not only have to be school captains, but also serve as common sense teachers. No matter what, this is what they need to worry about anyway.
matter."
After getting the log sign, Aqil couldn't help but feel a sense of belonging, as if he had become a kind of person with the Youth Army. This feeling made him a little elated, although he knew that this was just his wishful thinking.
The next thing was much simpler. I received a barely-fitting linen clothes and bowls and chopsticks from my future commander, made a bowl of salty soup with two meat bones, and grabbed two piglets as big as piglets.
White flour steamed buns, I randomly found a place with few people, squatted down and started eating.
At first, I tried to use the new tableware called chopsticks, but I soon found that if I wanted to use these two long and slender things, I couldn't move them up and down like a boy army within a few days, so I just started wolfing down the wooden bowl.
have eaten.
Just the first bite made Aqil fall in love with this kind of white, fluffy and soft food. Even if there is no broth, after chewing it carefully for a few times, it still has a unique fragrance. Compared with the food that will make your throat bleed.
Brown bread with bran is many times better, and even white bread specially supplied to noble men is nothing more than that, right?
Anyway, this is the most delicious food that Aqil has ever eaten in his life. It is so delicious that it makes people burst into tears.
Aqil was not the only one who cried while eating, many slaves had tears streaming down their faces.
Whether it is because of the happiness of eating delicious food or recalling past unbearable experiences, no one knows, not even they themselves can tell.
One thing is certain, once this meal is eaten, no one will want to go back to the hungry and cold days two days ago.
…
"You kid is getting smarter and smarter. A pot of pork bones stewed with cabbage and a cage of white flour steamed buns can win over a lot of people. This business is a good deal." Skullcrushers Mikey and Sean were also squatting next to a big pot and feasting.
.
This was the first serious meal they had after the night attack. Sean would not be able to eat even the delicacies until the root causes of the disaster were dealt with.
Sean rolled his eyes at Mikey angrily: "I can't stop you from eating. When it comes to eating, you eat the most from me, and I don't see you caring about me."
Sean was too lazy to explain. He had never considered winning people's hearts at all. The current food seemed to him just a normal big pot dish, such as the pork bones and cabbage stew. Each person could have three servings in the bowl.
A half of the dish is good, the rest is just soup.
Not to mention him, even those young soldiers were too embarrassed to call pork bones and cabbage stewed. They just called it salty soup. The flour used for white-flour steamed buns is made by mixing wheat flour and barley flour. The shelling is not complete, and the whole
It's just a multi-grain steamed bun, and its texture is not even close to that of real wheat steamed buns.
There is nothing that can be done about it, not to mention the Manyu military leader. Even in the entire Ashan continent, wheat is a relatively precious crop. Not only does it have a low yield, it is also prone to various disasters. It is not the highest priority in the planting sequence.
Of all the food grown in a manor, the wheat planting area will never exceed one-fifth. Pure wheat noodles can only be enjoyed by noble gentlemen.
The amount of wheat in these white flour steamed buns does not exceed one-third, and the rest is the incompletely hulled barley. For a long-term plan, the two can only be mixed together. Although the taste is not as good, the nutrition is more comprehensive.
no.
In my previous life, people ate too much refined food, so they had to go back to eating whole wheat bread and whole grains. Even so, the mountain people and military slaves almost ate their tongues into their stomachs.
Sean had no idea that people in this world had such low levels of happiness, but a slightly normal meal and a little bit of true love would move them to pieces.
If he had allowed them to witness the tragic drama of his previous life and not burst into tears, if it weren't for the dozens of brothers who had grown up with him lying in the corpse pit, he would never have shed a single tear.
Sean was a bit wrong about this. What really made these people cry was not sadness or bitterness.
They have experienced these things countless times since they were young. Life, death and separation are commonplace for them. If you drag out any one person, their experience will be more tragic than the most tragic drama. They have long been numb and cannot be touched by their own experiences.
They, let alone other unrelated people.
What really touched them was the sincerity and kindness that he and Young Jun showed involuntarily in every move they made, something they had never felt in their lives.
Even if there are kind-hearted slave owners, they cannot change their status as slave owners. Most of the goodwill has a price, and even if it is free, it also has a sense of superiority.
As for their kind, how can they express kindness when they are dealing with fatigue and hunger all day long? Even those who are truly selfless will not survive long in such a group before they turn into corpses first.
If the warehouse is solid, you will know etiquette; if you have enough food and clothing, you will know honor and disgrace.
This ancient saying from Sean's previous life is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients and is not just nonsense.
