Chapter 96 (1/2)
Yanmen's life is boring.
In addition to arranging troops and waving guns, they spend more time naked, facing the sun and the loess, reclaiming wasteland, moving bricks and building walls.
There is a brick kiln at the foot of the mountain every ten miles, which has been burning for years. Some soldiers were assigned to work in brick kilns, while Pei Shuo, who was unwilling to pay, was arranged to move bricks to and from the mountains every day and carry enough loads to eat.
Several soldiers surrounded Li Yongwu, who had no left ear, stood high and watched Pei Shuo and his party tottering up the mountain with a load. After a little rest, the supervisor behind them immediately waved a wooden stick and scolded.
”These pricks don't suffer. I don't know who's the boss here. When do you say they bow their heads and be soft?”
”Let's not say anything else. The two yellow haired boys named Fang Jiabao and Pei Shuo must climb over tonight.”
”Hahaha, you overestimate them. Maybe he will come down the mountain and hold boss Yong's thigh right away.”
Li Yongwu with scar face narrowed his eyes.
Pei Shuo felt it and looked back in the direction of Li Yongwu. He was soon urged by the supervisor to go up the mountain.
”That Pei Shuo is a hard bone.” Li Yongwu said firmly.
”No matter how hard a bone is, it becomes soft without food.” The younger brother behind him was laughing and no one took it seriously.
……
Once again, because the bricks were moved late, I could only eat leftovers down the mountain. Fang Jiabao squatted under the tree and wolfed down the porridge. The sea bowl was as bright as new and clean as if there had been no food.
”Pei Shuo is stubborn. Are you stupid to accompany him? While boss Yong is in a good mood today, you kowtow to him and admit a mistake. You give him the money obediently. In the future, you don't have to eat porridge. Just like us, you eat braised meat and loach drilling tofu every day. Isn't it wonderful to be full with big steamed bread? ” Seeing that he was pitiful, the fellow villagers shared a piece of braised meat with him and told him directly.
That night, Fang Jiabao quietly found Li Yongwu. According to his fellow villagers, the supervisor asked him to repair the wall the next day without moving bricks.
”Fang Jiabao was recruited to repair the city wall. During this time, you carried it alone. I think you are still young. Well, one load a day, just send it to the beacon tower in Feihu ridge. ” The supervisor relieved him of his burden like a handout, lifted his hand and pointed to the top of the mountain.
To reduce the burden, in fact, there is another mountain to climb from the top of the mountain. Behind the mountain is Feihu mountain. According to the time they spend on their current journey, it is estimated that Pei Shuo, who is younger, will go to Feihu mountain and return to Yanmen. He can't catch up with the evening meal from the rooster's opening to the stars and the moon.
What a bully!
The other soldiers carrying bricks had a clear mind, but succumbed to the supervisor's stick and could only look at Pei Shuo sympathetically.
”The kindness of adults, small unforgettable, will be remembered!” Greet your family all the time. Pei Shuo arched his hands and calculated quickly.
Feilong mountain is the most precipitous section of Yanmen. The most dangerous part is the cliff. The knife is cut and axe is cut, and there is no grass. Even birds, apes and monkeys dare not stay on the cliff. There is a strange stone at the top of the cliff, which looks like a tiger. At sunrise, it looks like a tiger roaring mountain forest, so it is named Feihu mountain.
There is a natural barrier in the most dangerous place. A beacon tower was built in the middle of the mountain, which is a little less dangerous. Someone was on duty here, but the city wall was not repaired to Feihu ridge for a while and a half. The supervisor appointed the soldiers who are the worst to deal with Pei Shuo to supervise his work.
……
The shade of the green trees is thick, and the plum season is ripe.
Bird's nest and a Yao, who practice typing, can't stand the endless cicadas outside the window. They look at the moon and are not at home. You roll up your sleeves, I take a bamboo pole and stick cicadas in the yard.
”Can you? Do you hear its voice? It's getting more and more arrogant.” A Yao's neck is sore. She moves a little and looks around the trunk.
The bird's nest didn't even look at her. She focused on catching cicadas and failed. She simply stuffed the bamboo pole into ah Yao's hand: ”you can come.”
”I'll come, I'll come!” A Yao took over the bamboo pole and learned how to watch the bird's nest. She wanted to fight in person. She was full of confidence. She made up her mind to catch the cicada. She didn't catch it yet?
