Chapter 28 Crystals
"Lady:
You are a woman, and you are working hard to support the old and the young at home.

I'm having a good time here at Rock Front Fortress.It's just riding training all day, and there is no battle to fight.Don't worry too much, lady.

When I'm not training, I always miss my hometown, my family, and you, my wife.I miss your long black hair, your white and tender face, and your sweet smell..."

your sister!

With trembling hands, Ren Ning wrote down Sha Ou's words verbatim.

A long time passed, and Sha Ou thought about it under the murderous eyes of his colleagues behind him, and finally couldn't speak, so he nodded and thanked Ren Ning, signaling him to finish.

Ren Ning breathed a sigh of relief, gave him a strange look, and finished it quickly.

I really didn't expect that in the public, such a hideous and rough man like Sha Ou would talk about love to his wife so sweetly that he would tire of him.

It caused him to have goose bumps all over his body while writing, and he almost couldn't even hold the brush.

Perhaps it was Sha Ou who started it, and the cavalry behind, no matter they were tall or skinny, when they wrote letters, they talked about love one by one, and one by one was more flamboyant.

Ren Ning was amazed, feeling over and over again that the world is going downhill and people's hearts are not the same.

In his previous life, he had watched some variety shows or movies.

When the soldiers there wrote their letters home, they always said quietly, "The body of seven feet has already promised the country, and it is difficult to Xuqing".

How can these guys in front of you be so sloppy.

Several people passed by, and finally it was Gu Datou's turn.

He was not married personally and his parents died, so the recipient of the letter was his younger brother.

Starting Point has always been known as an orphanage, and at the beginning of novels, parents usually offer sacrifices to the heavens, with no power.Gu Datou, this is a perfect template for the protagonist.

Therefore, his family letters are much more serious and formal than the previous ones.

It's just that the recipient directly asked Ren Ning to fail.

"Second Brother Dog, are you in good health..." Gu Datou started like this.

flutter.

Ren Ning took a sip of tea, "Big head, what's your brother's name? I'm a bit blind, so I can't hear clearly."

Gu Datou was stunned for a moment, and replied blankly: "His name is Gu Ergou. What's the matter?"

Ren Ning was dumbfounded, "This name..."

Hey.

Gu Datou habitually touched his shiny head.

"The year my younger brother was born, there was a big flood in my hometown. My parents were forced by the master's house to go up the river embankment to plug the gap, but they never came back. I took my younger brother to the nearby mountain and survived. .”

"Everyone says that a humble name is easy to make a living, and I don't even know how to read any words. There just happened to be a skinny dog ​​who was very hungry next to us and wanted to bite us. So I chose such a name for my little brother."

"So that's it." Ren Ning wiped his sweat and motioned him to continue talking about the content of the letter.

In this way, one cavalry after another lined up to ask to write letters, and those who came would not refuse to send their pens like flying.

Before he knew it, it was evening, and Ren Ning didn't know how many letters he had written. Anyway, he had changed several pools of ink.

clang!clang!clang!
The heavy bell of the fortress rang suddenly, as if it was beating on the heart.

Ren Ning came back to his senses and looked up.

Not only did the soldiers in line in front of him not decrease, but they were even more than at the beginning.

"The bell is ringing, it's time to eat." Gu Datou, a tall and burly man, squeezed over without knowing what to say.

"Brothers, Lao Ren has been writing all afternoon, and he has used several pools of ink. He is already very tired. Let's get here first today!"

hum~
The little soldiers who were about to turn to themselves were a little unhappy.

"Brother Ren, please write more. We have been waiting all afternoon."

"That's right. My meal can be left to you brother. Please continue to write letters. The family is almost crazy waiting for my letter."

……

Ren Ning stood up and shook his sore arms.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out that writing letters all afternoon is more exhausting than killing people all afternoon.

"Brothers, those who should eat go eat first, and those who should train the horse continue to train the horse. As for writing home letters, let's continue tomorrow."

He chuckled, "The postman will stay in the fortress for a full month before leaving. It's only the beginning of the month, so don't worry about it."

This is the truth, but the cavalrymen talked for a while, with some hesitation on their faces.

Ren Ning said again: "I, Ren Ning, always keep my word. I said I will help all the brothers who ride eight camps after writing your family letters."

Everyone was overjoyed, and they dispersed one after another.

After dinner, Ren Ning just returned to the barracks.

Gu Datou came in with a lot of things.

"What?" Ren Ning was curious.

Hey.

Gu Datou put the things in his arms on Ren Ning's bed.

"Brothers from the Eighth Battalion gave it to you. Most of them are small gadgets collected during missions. Although they are not worth much, they are all a little thought from them."

Suddenly, Ren Ning flipped through the pages.

The gifts are miscellaneous and have everything.

Fresh mare's milk, sharp Xiliang weapons, strong horseshoes, bright and beautiful stones, half-new and old reins, a dog who doesn't know whether it is a cow or a horse...

There's even a clear crystal.

Crystals are so commonplace in modern society that almost no one cares.But in ancient times when there was no glass, it was a very rare and precious substance.

With a dark face, Ren Ning threw those messy things back to Gu Datou, and picked out the crystal clear crystal casually.

"Whose crystal is it? This is a very valuable item. If you take it back to the imperial capital Xingji City, you can probably exchange it for a second-class house in a civilian area."

"It's worth the money." Gu Datou sneered, "This is a fortress, a place where birds don't shit. It's not some bullshit imperial capital Xingji City."

"I recognize its original owner. The kid's mount is a mare, which was pregnant some time ago."

"He went around trying to exchange this crap for some horse rations, but everyone's rations were so tight that no one paid any attention to him."

"Nonsense." Ren Ning didn't believe it. "Isn't the pregnant mare nourished by the breeding horse? What kind of horse food does he change?"

It is related to the safety of border defense, and all affairs of the fortress will be prepared for a rainy day.

Especially the grain and grass that people eat and chew, these strategic reserves that are related to the stability of the military's morale are usually prepared in half a year or even a year.

And the high-quality mares that are pregnant are the absolute treasures of the fortress.Therefore, no matter how publicized the lack of food in the fortress, the Breeding Horse Camp would never starve them.

"Horse breeding camp?" Gu Datou sneered.

"Old Ren, you often go out on missions, so you don't know the situation very well."

"In the past few months, several mares have slipped tires inexplicably in the breeding camp. It is said that the weather is too hot and the troughs don't take good care of them."

"What a stupid reason. The fortress is so angry that they want to kill people, and they have already issued a death order to find out the reason."

"The last time we went to the horse breeding camp to select horses, don't you think that the whole horse breeding camp is dead? It's because they searched around the whole camp to check the situation."

Ren Ning suddenly realized.

At that time, he only wanted to find a good horse, and he was not very familiar with the breeding camp, so he didn't find anything unusual.

Gu Datou glanced at the crystal in Ren Ning's hand, his face suddenly became wretched.

"That mare was raised by his kid himself, and he has a deep affection. We don't even let us touch it, let alone ride it. Hehe, I don't know which stallion in the camp is so powerful. Sleep……"

cough!
Ren Ning stared.

Only then did Gu Datou straighten his back awkwardly, "Anyway, given the current situation, he would never consider sending the horse to the breeding camp."

Ren Ning nodded and looked towards the southwest with a blank expression.

Another horse breeding camp.
