[Chapter 2102 Tie Kui Fanwai (26)]
Because Tie Kui had just turned fifteen years old, he was at least sixteen years old when he was on the battlefield in the army. Therefore, in the first year of Tie Kui’s enlistment, he trained in the army and never went to the battlefield.
The military camp is a place where strength is concerned, and keeping a low profile is not suitable here. Therefore, Tie Kui joined the army for half a year and stood out from the crowd because of his outstanding performance.
After the day’s training, Chief Wu called Tie Kui out and said, “Song Sihai and Song Can will choose an escort, do you want to go? If you want to go, I can find someone to sign up for you.” Tie Kui may not be the strongest, but He is definitely the youngest. Younger age, stronger plasticity.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “I don’t want to serve as a guard.” If there were other generals, he would still consider it. Song Huaijin was his father’s enemy, how could he protect the Song family.
The corporal chief said, “You have to think carefully. If you are selected, being a guard by the General’s side will not only be safe, but will also be of great benefit to your future.” After being the escort of General Song, it is the Song family. People in the same vein will naturally support him in the future.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “Brother He, I appreciate your kindness. It’s just that I have a bad temper. I want to serve as a guard for Song Cang for fear of causing trouble for him.”
The corporal surnamed He patted Tie Kui on the shoulder and said, “Everyone has their own aspirations, if you don’t want to, forget it.” Tie Kui entered the barracks for half a year, because he has a good temperament and gets along very well with the people around him. Now that he said that, it was an excuse not to look for it.
Six months later, Tie Kui was assigned to the forward camp. In wars, the forward battalion is always at the forefront. Every time there is a war, a lot of people are killed. Among the military camps, the forward battalion has the highest mortality rate, reaching 99% every year.
Telling Tie Kui the news, Wuchang He sighed and said, “If you listened to me and acted as a guard for General Song Can, you wouldn’t have to go to the forward camp.”
Tie Kui frowned and said, “I’ve only been in the army for a year, so how could I be assigned to the forward camp?” This is a strange thing.
The corporal chief said, “It’s not because your kid is doing too well, that’s why the superiors assigned you to the forward battalion.”
Tie Kui always felt that this was weird, but he, a low-level soldier, was unable to resist the decision above, so he could only report to the forward camp with the quilt.
Seeing Tie Kui, the centurion Chou Dashan asked with a dark face, “How old are you this year?”
“Sixteen.”
Qiu Dashan couldn’t help scolding his mother: “The turtle son of a bitch surnamed Song doesn’t do anything.” When such a young child brought the Frontier Camp, didn’t he want him to die.
Tie Kui understood that it turned out that the surnamed Song had brought him to the forward camp. It seemed that the corps chief had someone instigated him to be Song Sihai’s bodyguard that day.
In the army, strength is the most respected, and Tie Kui is only 1.76 meters tall, which is acceptable in other places. But in the crowd of tall, burly men in the forward camp, Tie Kui looked particularly short. In addition, he was very young, and some veteran soldiers wanted to bully him. For example, ask him to contribute all the food he eats, and ask him to wash clothes and fold bedding.
In fact, this is also a practice. New recruits will always be bullied by some veterans when they come in. As long as you don’t be too ruthless, the people above will turn a blind eye.
It’s a pity that Tie Kui refused to eat this set. The man tried to teach him a lesson, but he was beaten to the ground by Tie Kui.
The defeated veteran Youzi felt that he was underestimating the enemy: “I didn’t stand firm just now, come again.”
As a result, the veteran ruffian was knocked down by Tie Kui again. Now, everyone knew that Tie Kui really had two brushes.
The veteran ruffian touched the corner of his red and swollen mouth and asked, “Have you practiced?”
Tie Kui nodded: “Our family is from the mountains. My grandfather taught me boxing when I was five years old, and followed him up the mountain to hunt when I was ten.”
Knowing that Tie Kui had practiced martial arts since he was a child, the people in the Qianfeng Battalion did not dare to despise him anymore.
When he was integrated into the forward camp, he found that the people here were very generous and there was no intrigue. After being accepted by these people, Tie Kui’s life was not bad.
When it was time to get paid, three or five people shouted and went to drink. Also, go to Hualou to find a girl. Anyway, no one knows whether they can survive the next battle, so they all spend all their money, and they have no idea of saving money at all.
A veteran named Ling Zhen saw Tie Kui put the silver in his pocket and smiled, “Boy, are you going to save the silver to marry a wife?”
Tie Kui smiled shyly.
Although nine times out of ten, it is impossible to marry a wife, but it is always a good idea to have this idea. Therefore, Ling Zhen didn’t attack Tie Kui, but just smiled and said, “It’s good.”
Going outside, spitting saliva can quickly condense into ice. But even in such severe cold weather, Tie Kui insisted on practicing every day.
In June of the following year, when the Donghu people invaded, Tie Kui and others went into battle to kill the enemy.
Many people were uncomfortable with the first murder, but Tiekui didn’t feel sick at all.
Seeing his normal expression, Ling Zhen smiled and said, “Yes, better than me. I vomited half to death after the first murder.” Of course, his first murder was not on the battlefield, but at home.
Tie Kui said: “In my eyes, they are not human, but a group of beasts in human skins.” Therefore, he had no psychological burden to kill these people.
Ling Zhen said: “You are right, they are not humans, but a group of beasts.” Seven years ago, more than 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians died at the hands of those beasts. Ling Zhen’s family died at the hands of the Donghu people. At that time, he also killed a Donghu ghost who wanted to bully his sister at home. What is hateful is that the food was taken away by Donghu Gui, and his sister starved to death in winter because she had no food to eat.
Every time Ling Zhen talked about the Donghu people, he gritted his teeth. Without asking Tie Kui, he knew that he must have a bloody feud with the Donghu people.
After entering the forward camp, Tie Kui really realized why he said that everyone thought he was going to die when he joined the army. Every time a battle is over, there will be fewer familiar faces around.
For the first time, Tie Kui was very sad. Ling Zhen patted his shoulder and said, “Don’t be sad, you have saved a lot of money, I will take you to open your eyes tomorrow.”
The eye-opener Ling Zhen said was to take Tie Kui to Hualou. Seeing that Tie Kui didn’t go in, Ling Zhen lowered his voice and said, “Boy, you can’t be a jerk all the time!”
Tie Kui firmly refused.
Ling Zhen also had good intentions, he was afraid that Tie Kui would still be a boy when he died. But Tiekui didn’t want to, and he didn’t force it: “Then go back first!” After that, he went in.
Tie Kui did not go back, but wandered around the city. I have been in Tongcheng for more than a year and a half, but I haven’t had a good time shopping here.
I looked around and couldn’t find anything to buy. When he reached the door of a medicinal herb shop, Tie Kui thought about it and went in.
After taking Tiehu’s medicine for more than a year, he still understands the prices of some common medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, the medicinal materials here are twice as expensive as those in their town. But no matter how expensive it is, it is not expensive to buy medicine directly.
When Ling Zhen came back, his face was full of contentment. He entered the room and saw that Tie Kui was tinkering with the medicinal materials.
Tie Kui said with a sigh: “I will only do some simple medicine for bruises.”
“That’s very powerful, too.” If these medicines were really useful, his military salaries would not be spent indiscriminately to buy medicines made by Tiekui.
A few days later, the Donghu people came to attack again. Every time there is a battle, the forward battalion is always at the forefront, and this time is no exception. But the Donghu people who attacked this time are stronger than the previous ones. Most of the strikers were killed and injured, and Tie Kui was also injured in a coma.
When you wake up, it’s already night.
The night at the end of September has already begun to get cold. The wind on the grassland was particularly strong, and it made Tie Kui shiver uncontrollably.
Tie Kui first applied his own medicine to the wound and then bandaged it. After doing all this, he discerned the direction to return to the city. After walking a few steps, I heard a cry for help not far away.
It was also because the field was so quiet at this time that Tie Kui heard the slight voice.
Walking towards the place where the sound was made, Tie Kui found Qiu Dashan, who was being pressed by two bodies.
Qiu Dashan was severely injured and could not move, but he was still conscious. Hearing footsteps, he cried out for help.
After removing the corpse on Qiu Dashan’s body, Tie Kui asked softly, “Your worst injury is here? I have some medicine here, I’ll apply it to you.”
Qiu Dashan was injured in the chest, but fortunately he did not hurt the vital point. After Tie Kui gave him the medicine, he asked, “Brother, can you hold it? Hold on, I’ll carry you back. If I can’t hold on, I’ll go back and report to the top, and let someone come to save you.”
Qiu Dashan said in a mosquito-like voice, “I can hold it.” After Tie Kui left, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to make it through the night. Furthermore, even if Tie Kui and the people above him reported this matter, no one would come to save him.
If you can’t stand it, there is only one way to go.
Because it was dark, he couldn’t see faces clearly, and Qiu Dashan’s voice changed because of his weakness. Therefore, Tie Kui didn’t know that it was his immediate boss who was going to save.
Tie Kui was injured, carrying Qiu Dashan who was heavier than himself, so he walked very slowly.
After walking for two hours, Tie Kui couldn’t walk anymore. When they reached a steep slope, Tie Kui said, “Let’s rest here tonight!”
Qiu Dashan naturally has no objection.
Tie Kui found a pile of hay and dead branches, and soon a fire started.
With fire, the night is still very easy.
Qiu Dashan was awakened by a burst of scent, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tie Kui roasting rabbits. Looking at the rabbit that was roasted to a golden brown and dripping with oil, Qiu Dashan couldn’t help swallowing a saliva. He has been hungry all day and night.
Tie Kui turned his head and saw Qiu Dashan staring at the roasted rabbit: “Centurion, it will take a while for this rabbit to recover.” When he opened his eyes this morning and saw someone, he knew that he was saving his immediate boss. .
“How did you hit the rabbit?” Tie Kui was injured and had no tools.
Tie Kui smiled and said, “The traps are set up, and rabbits and pheasants are still easy to catch.” After so many years in the mountains, even without bows and arrows, pheasants and rabbits can be caught.
After a while, the rabbit was roasted. Tie Kui gave him half of it, and then asked, “Can I eat it myself?”
Qiu Dashan said: “Yes.”
After eating and drinking, Tie Kui carried Qiu Dashan on his back again and continued on his way. After more than half a day’s journey, the two walked for two days. For the past two days, he relied on Tie Kui to find food and drink. Hare and gopher snake, Tie Kui, who can enter it anyway, will not let go. Qiu Dashan will naturally not dislike it.
Back in the army, the military doctor showed the injuries to the two. Tie Kui was slightly injured, but Qiu Dashan had multiple injuries. In particular, the chest was also injured, but fortunately, the lungs were not injured.
The military doctor said to Qiu Dashan, “You must be raised for at least three months before you can get out of bed.”
Qiu Dashan is naturally meaningless.
Qiu Dashan thought about how Tie Kui took care of him today, so he left him to take care of himself.
Seeing that Qiu Dashan was pale, Tie Kui bought red dates, millet or eggs at a high price and made them for him to eat. Of course, the money is all from Qiu Dashan himself.
The first time he drank the red date porridge made by Tie Kui, Qiu Dashan was very surprised: “I didn’t expect your cooking skills to be so good.” Few men know how to cook, and even fewer are good at cooking.
Tie Kui smiled and said, “My dad broke his leg four years ago. I took him to Shengjing to get his leg treated. I often cook porridge and soup for him to eat. The more I do, the more experience I have.”
Qiu Dashan said with a smile: “No wonder you are so good at taking care of people. By the way, a few of your brothers.”
Hearing that Tie Kui was the only one, Qiu Dashan sighed and said, “How sad should your father be when you join the army?” He thought that Tie Kui was forced to join the army. Generally only sons, the family will try their best to escape military service.
Tie Kui snorted and said, “The doctor gave him a leg treatment. He was so painful that he gritted his teeth and didn’t say a word. But when I came to Tongcheng, his eyes were red.”
Conscription is getting more and more difficult now, even the only son is not spared. Thinking of this, Qiu Dashan couldn’t help sighing.
Under the careful care of Tie Kui, Qiu Dashan got out of bed within a month. In three months, it will be alive and well.
After the injury was healed, Qiu Dashan asked Tie Kui, “Would you like to stay with me?” This meant that he wanted Tie Kui to be his personal bodyguard.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, “I want to return to the army.” Staying by Qiu Dashan’s side, he also had to fight on the battlefield. That being the case, it is better to return to the army. This way, it is more free.
Seeing this, Qiu Dashan did not force him.
After returning, Tie Kui was promoted to corporal. Although there are only five people in charge, it can be regarded as his starting point.
In the coming year, Tie Kui followed Qiu Dashan into battle to kill the enemy. This time, Tie Kui killed several Donghu people, and when he returned, he rose to a high level. But Qiu Dashan’s position has not changed.
Tie Kui didn’t understand and asked, “Sir, why did you kill so many enemies and why didn’t you get promoted?” Last year, Qiu Dashan also killed many enemies, and the accumulation of these military exploits is enough for him to be promoted.
Qiu Dashan did not shy away, and said: “Because I used to be the companion of the third young master of the Yan family. People related to the Yan family will be suppressed by the people of the Song family. Like me, they can’t wait to kill them.” There are many people in the Yan family, if all of them are killed, who will fight. Therefore, Tong Chunlin kept stopping. But if it’s not obvious, these people will come to the dark.
“My lord, I believe that evil does not prevail. One day, Marshal Yan will be rehabilitated.”
Qiu Dashan hummed: “Yes, evil does not overpower the righteous. One day the Yan family will be rehabilitated, and the traitorous officials of the Song family will die.
