There is Always a System Trying To Bind Me - Chapter 107
When the three returned to the village, the other children were almost there.
Yang Chenggong arranged a room for Cheng Xiao, and then yawned and went back to his room to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, after meeting in the square, Yang Chenggong casually introduced Cheng Xiao to the Boy Scouts below, and then led them to start their daily training.
In this way, he found that Cheng Xiao also had some talent in martial arts.
Yang Chenggong was overjoyed. Originally, it was only because Cheng Xiao was pitiful that he took him in, but now he has the heart of love.
Cheng Xiao and Xu Qingyang began to teach more attentively every day.
Cheng Xiao is also very good, but after half a month, he could not even hold a single move under Xu Qingyang’s hands, but he can insist on two or three moves.
It was only now that he realized that this little guy he thought was so strong.
meaning.
Deliberately replied to a letter, telling Xu Yichen that he would go back this year during the Chinese New Year, Xu Qingyang took another opportunity to visit Anxian County and gave the letter to the hawker who sold the candied haws .
Training days are always dull and boring.
Time passed slowly in this tedium.
The day before the new year, Yang Chenggong had a rare chance to ask a few aunts from Caojia Village to cook a delicious meal for these children.
He also went to the county town to buy 200 catties of pork and made a big pot of hodgepodge.
There are not many opportunities to eat meat in Caojia Village, and these children do not really want to eat meat.
It’s not that they don’t like to eat, but the fact that they can eat meat means that a year has passed, which means that some of them are going to the front line.
The children who have reached the age of fifteen have been very silent recently, except for practicing martial arts during the day and doing farm work in the fields silently.
Affected by this atmosphere, Xu Qingyang felt a little depressed.
War is never a simple matter, it is a mixture of human blood and tears to survive in this world.
It is like the hundreds of children in Caojia Village who will be sent to the military camp by Yang Chenggong this time.
Yang Chenggong has been with these children for a long time, and he also has a little affection. He is now in front of everyone, telling those children.
Yang Chenggong exhorted again: “The boxing method I teach you must be practiced consistently, although you may not have the talent to study this secret book clearly, but after all, this thing can help you keep fit. body, increasing the chance of surviving on the battlefield.”
After speaking, Yang Chenggong signaled everyone to start.
The group of children no longer restrained themselves, but stretched out their chopsticks to the rich dishes in front of them.
Especially for the older children, almost all of them eat this meal as a guillotine meal.
A pair of chopsticks quickly stretched out towards the pork on the table.
Cheng Xiao was stunned watching from the sidelines. Although he suffered a lot since his mother died, his previous life was rich and leisurely.
So he had never seen a scene like today.
Xu Qingyang saw his doubts on his face, smiled and explained: “The Xiongnu has been restless again recently, and the army on the border has issued several orders to Lord Qianhu, asking him to This year’s staff has been delivered. It is also difficult for Lord Qianhu to delay the time until now.”
Cheng Xiao was stunned for a moment, “Is the border war so tight?”
Xu Qingyang nodded, “I heard from Master Qianhu that there was a snowstorm over the Xiongnu this year, and many cattle and sheep were frozen to death, even if it was for survival, they would definitely not let Yan go. Towards this sweet pastry.”
Xu Qingyang sighed again: “Maybe at that time, we people will have to go to the battlefield together.”
The number of Scouts sent into the military is not fixed.
In the peaceful years, maybe Yang Chenggong sent a manpower once a year.
But when there is a war, they are destined to be sent to the battlefield.
Cheng Xiao nodded thoughtfully after listening to Xu Qingyang’s words.
He only wanted to get rid of his cruel relatives before following Yang Chenggong to Caojia Village, and his life after coming here was indeed very satisfying to him.
Although it is a bit tiring to train and do farm work every day, at least you don’t have to worry about it like before.
He originally planned to stay here until he was fifteen years old, and then find a way to get out of here and avoid being sent to the battlefield.
But now it seems that his idea is a bit unrealistic.
Cheng Xiao’s thoughts, Xu Qingyang naturally knew from the beginning. This man is smart, how could he be so willing to be cannon fodder on the battlefield?
So what she said today is actually a kind of suggestion to the other party.
But seeing Cheng Xiao frowning and thinking hard, Xu Qingyang thought it was funny, so he comforted the other party.
“Sir Qianhu told me that as long as we behave well, he can recommend us to be a clerk under the account of a friend he knows.”
In addition, these two children behaved well, and they both had no father or mother. Yang Chenggong himself injured his body before, and he will never have children in this life. Xu Qingyang and Cheng Xiao had the eye of Yang Chenggong from the very beginning.
It can be said that Yang Chenggong almost raised Cheng Xiao and Xu Qingyang as his children.
That’s why he went to visit the contacts he left behind when he was still in the army, and found a way out for Cheng Xiao and Xu Qingyang.
“This…” Cheng Xiao was stunned when he heard this for the first time. What he originally cherished for Yang Chenggong was only a little bit of insignificant gratitude.
But now that he heard that Yang Chenggong had done this for the two of them, he couldn’t help being touched.
Xu Qingyang saw that his goal had been achieved, a few smiles flashed in his eyes, and then he went straight back to the room to rest.
The banquet didn’t end until it was late at night.
Cheng Xiao walked back to the room in the moonlight, but when he passed a Boy Scout dormitory, he heard faint crying coming from inside.
He knew this was where the older kids who were about to go to war lived.
…
The next morning, when Cheng Xiao woke up to train, he found that more than half of them were missing.
Yang Chenggong arrived later than usual today. When he came to the square, the sun had already risen in most of the sky, but these children also realized that although Yang Chenggong was not there, they Still training as usual.
Xu Qingyang saw Yang Chenggong, his eyes brightened, and then rushed up to ask, “Master Qianhu, what’s going on? Jin Sheng, Tie Zhu and the others?”
Jin Sheng and Tie Zhu were familiar with Xu Qingyang in Caojia Village, so Xu Qingyang found them missing when he came to the square this morning.
Yang Chenggong sighed, “When Chen Shoubing came to lead people early this morning, he told me that the Huns had officially started war against the Yan Dynasty, so he simply led some more people.”
According to the original regulations, Jin Sheng and Tie Zhu should not be on the battlefield until next year. Now that the garrison of Anxian County has come to such a place, they can only be the ones who will stand up.
Yang Chenggong said a little worriedly: “You guys have been working harder recently, I’m just afraid that Chen Shouwei will come later.”
Yang Chenggong’s words were not without purpose. The Yan Dynasty army was already short of people, and now they are going to war with the Huns. I am afraid that these children under his command will be recruited.
Xu Qingyang had some thoughts in her heart. After she went down, she simply found a chance to go back to the capital, visited Xu Yichen and her parents, and told them by the way that she would not be going home in the next few years.
Then hurried back to Caojia Village.
Because of the war, the entire Caojia Village has become more silent than before, and Yang Chenggong cancelled the farm work that the Boy Scouts had to do every afternoon.
He found a few day laborers to serve the crops, and then let the remaining Boy Scouts begin to train harder.
Yang Chenggong’s worry finally happened.
This morning, Xu Qingyang Sewing had just finished eating and was about to start training when a man in armor walked in with a convoy.
Yang Chenggong saw this man, his lips twitched, he stepped forward and said: “Last General, see the guard.”
Chen Shoubei helped Yang Chenggong with a smile on his face, and then said a little embarrassedly: “Success, now the border is short of people, so General Li ordered me to take a few nearby villages. The Boy Scouts here are all levied.”
“What?” Yang Chenggong exclaimed in surprise.
“But the youngest of them has just arrived, how can this be done, doesn’t this mean sending them to death?”
Chen Shoubei smiled bitterly: “I can’t do this either, the Xiongnu came prepared this time, and there was a snow disaster in their country, when the supplies were scarce, it was even more fatal to fight. , in a battle just yesterday, 2,000 of our sons of the Yan Dynasty lost their lives, and the generals have no choice but to do this, at least these Boy Scouts are much stronger than those commoners.”
Chen Shoubei’s words meant that when the last resort came, it was estimated that General Li would be forced to recruit troops as he did decades ago.
Yang Chenggong frowned and asked, “What about the reinforcements? General Li didn’t ask the court for reinforcements?”
Chen Shoubei looked around and whispered: “The reinforcements have already arrived, but the general has seen them. Those people are all people with wine bags and rice buckets, and … and this time the Holy Lord The military salaries and forages that were distributed were actually taken away by the officials who were escorting them.”
Yang Chenggong was immediately angry when he heard the words, “These assholes!”
Chen Shoubei hurriedly pulled him, “Keep your voice down, that person is the grandfather’s home of the fourth prince today, where can we discuss.”
Yang Chenggong and Chen Shoujie were whispering here, but they didn’t notice that two figures flashed past the trees behind them.
