Chapter 55 The Coffin
It took ten days to collect the bones, or dig the grave.

Ren Ning led the team out early every morning, and did not come back until the fortress's giant bell rang in the evening.

The little soldiers are all physically strong, and it doesn't take them much effort to dig graves.

However, the excavated bones are usually incinerated and packed, which is troublesome and time-consuming.

In addition, if the orphans and widows in the surrounding villages are poaching their fathers and brothers, Ren Ning and the others also need to help.So time is pretty tight.

Of course, depending on the identity of the tomb owner, the treatment after digging out will be different.

Burning to ashes is the treatment of ordinary soldiers.

The generals who died in battle will have an extra thin coffin.

On the third day, Ren Ning even saw a group of soldiers digging a grave with a tombstone.A scarlet and huge coffin suddenly appeared in the tomb...

"What is the red coffin?" Cyclops snorted, "Do you believe it, kid? Once I fall down, I can lie down in the red coffin in minutes!"

cut!
All the veterans in the room knew each other well, and all of them squinted at him for a moment.

Cough!

Cyclops coughed twice guiltily, and he decisively changed the subject.

"One summer, I also saw someone sealed in an ice coffin, and then sent back to the imperial capital at high speed."

snort!
Tieguai Li has always been hostile to him, "The mere ice coffin is worth the fuss. There are not many ice coffins in the fortress, but there are still some. It's not unusual."

He flaunted, "I've seen crystal coffins before."

Crystal coffin?
Ren Ning was speechless.

The crystal itself is expensive, but since he submitted the method of making the telescope to the fortress, it has become even more expensive, but it is still impossible to find.

Unexpectedly, there were actually crystal coffins in the fortress, perhaps more than one.

Seeing that Ren Ning was shocked, Tieguai Li hid him aside and continued to promote his eldest granddaughter.

"Boy Ren, the crystal coffin cannot be used by non-royals, so let's forget about it. But as long as you marry my eldest granddaughter, the old man promises that you will be able to go home lying in the red coffin in the future."

Ren Ning's face turned black.

He was also thinking about whether to bring some mutton and dog meat to these veterans when he came over tomorrow to improve their lives.

Hearing this, he decisively dismissed his idea.

Just a red coffin?This is too contemptuous of him.

At least I have to change to an ice coffin.

Returning to his senses after a while, Ren Ning couldn't laugh or cry.

At such a young age, he has yet to command millions, what kind of coffin is he talking about lying in!
Ominous!
Ren Ninglang's heart is like iron, so he once again rejected Tieguai Li's beautiful granddaughter.

that's it.

In ten days, Ren Ning and his team went around every hillock in the four large tombs nearby, and brought back a total of 110 columbariums with their names and hometown addresses written on them.

Ugh!
Gu Datou had nothing to do, so he touched the urns and sighed: "It's better for them, they will go home soon!"

Ren Ning couldn't laugh or cry.Here's another guy who wants to go home on vacation and go crazy.

Looking at the endless envy in the silly big man's eyes, Gu Datou was also very happy to let him be turned into ashes and put in an altar before sending them home.

Ren Ning ignored him, looked left and right, turned and went to the scout camp.

This was his first visit to the Scout Battalion in months since he switched to Starfall.

It was a little strange for a while.

So Ren Ning was stopped at the gate of the scout camp.

Looking up, there was another batch of fresh faces inside, working hard on the exercise equipment he designed.

After receiving the report, Gao Deming walked out in a hurry.

He silently stared at the smiling Ren Ning, that face never seemed to be clear.

After a while, he asked, "What's the matter with you?"

General Gao Deming's military rank is not high, but the status of the scout battalion is important, so his news is quite well-informed.He knows many things that others don't know.

Collect the bones for ten days.The fortress looks calm on the surface, but several battles have been fought over this kid.

Assassination, anti-assassination; kidnapping, anti-kidnapping.

Ren Ning was not injured, but every day, familiar or unfamiliar people were involved, caught by the fortress, and then another group of people were confessed.

In just ten days, the fortress caught more spies than in previous years.

There are people from Xiliang next door, people from various countries in the north and south, and even people from other forces in Yunchui...

Gao Deming shook his head, not daring to think too much.

He had always stood firmly on the side of the fortress, but now he saw this kid standing in front of the scout camp with a calm face.

Gao Deming found that his calves were trembling.

Ren Ning smiled, he was aware of his immediate surroundings.

He was not very welcome in almost all places in the fortress, and even the Qi Baying who had always been close to him politely refused his door.That is to say, Gu Datou has no brains and can't see the situation clearly, and he still happily follows him in and out every day.

cough!
Ren Ning took out the short spike and said concisely: "Isn't this going to send the spirit back to his hometown? I want to clean up the belongings of Liu Dashi and Liu Goukuan and take them back to make a tomb for their family."

Like most unknown scouts, Liu Dashi and Liu Goukuan fell in the vast Xiliang prairie.In addition, there were fires and floods later, and there were no bones left.

The last time I went out to look for life-seeking grass, Ren Ning took a chance and ran around the area where the incident happened several times.As a result, no matter whether it was a human corpse or a horse corpse, nothing was found.

He had no choice but to retreat and bring back some belongings of the two of them.

Gao Deming breathed a sigh of relief, quickly found the belongings of Liu Dashi and the other two, stuffed them into Ren Ning's hands, signed and confirmed, and quickly sent the plague god away.

He was afraid that if the boy stood there longer, the red-eyed spies would pop up from the side in broad daylight.

And his subordinates are full of scouts who have just joined the army, and most of them have not yet matured.If the spies stopped at the door of the house to kill and set fire, the dignified scout battalion would be helpless.

It doesn't look good on the face.

Ren Ning didn't care, and he went back to the Starfall Legion with the things of the brothers Liu Dashi in his arms.

After another two days of tidying up, Qingming is approaching.

On the school field in the middle of the fortress, Ren Ning stood up with several others to accept the challenge.

Every four years, at least 3000 coffins of ashes are sent back to the hometown. In addition, more than 400 female relatives and children will go back together this year.

It is difficult to travel with so many people crowded together, so they are usually divided into four or five teams according to the destination.

For example, the direction of the imperial capital in the north, the direction of Xingluo in the southwest, and the direction of Sulan in the east...

If there is a team, there must be a leader, or a security commander.

Ren Ning and the few people who stood up came to compete for the security commander.

Originally, Ren Ning didn't want to play.He just wanted to send Liu Dashi and his brothers to their hometown, and rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible.

But Gao Deming learned of Ren Ning's plan from nowhere, and ran over from the scout camp on purpose.

"Ren Ning, you are stupid! You are the general's personal guard now, and your status is definitely enough. The history of security command is eligible to compete, why don't you go?"

He scolded iron and steel, and Ren Ning knew what was going on.

Sending souls back home every four years is not just about sending brothers who died in battle home for burial.It is the empire that promotes the tradition of building a country with force to its people, and at the same time encourages soldiers from all over the world to continue to swear to kill the enemy in the days to come.

With more than 3000 heroic spirits and more than 400 female dependents, especially the generous pension/@衣/@金, anything can happen on the long way back home.

In order to ensure unimpeded transport of spirits back home, the small security commander has very large authority.Just like the imperial envoy with Shangfang's sword in hand, you can cut first and then play along the way, and kill Buddha when people block and kill Buddha.

In addition, as long as the task of sending the soul back to the hometown is properly completed, there is a chance to enter the palace to meet the saint to report on his duties.

And as long as he can show his face in front of the emperor, no matter what he does in the future, the road will be much easier.

This is the reason why many people want to come out to fight for the security commander.
