This is really Gao Wu

Chapter 12 Township, Repression

"Brother Ma, come on, drink this bowl, and the next one..." "Brother Tang, Huo Quan, Huo Quan! Old man, the person I admire most in my life, come on, let's do it."

It was just dark, and in a small farmyard, Tang Zhen and the old village head were sitting at a small table drinking together.

Although there is a stacked pile of grain and hay next to it for feeding cattle, the whole small courtyard was tidy and tidy by the old village head...

On the table stood a small stove, on which a clay pot was simmering.

The soup in the clay pot has been boiled, and the cabbage, tofu, and lumps of meat inside have been rolled.

There are also a plate of pickles, a plate of broad beans and a plate of sauced beef around the stove.

The old village head who took a big sip of rice wine saw that the tofu in the jar had floated up, his eyes lit up, he leisurely picked up a piece of tofu and put it in the bowl; he picked up a pickle and put it with the tofu...

Put the tofu and pickles together again, lift it to your mouth, blow air, and then blow air... After four or five blows, when the heat of the tofu weakens, send it to your mouth at once; close your eyes and chew, shake your head, and then swallow...

"It's delicious, it's really delicious...brother Tang, this pickled vegetable with tofu is a treasure in the world!" The old village chief sat lazily on the armchair like a deflated doll, as if he was still reminiscing about the incident just now. Treasures in the world...

'Hehe, I really want to turn this pot upside down and eat white soup pot with a former Sichuan native?Even if I starve to death, I won’t eat white soup... Madan, if the anorectal department of that hospital finds out, they will take back my status as a senior annual fee member and block me, right? '

Tang Zhen contemptuously, but at the same time complimented...

"Hmm~~ It's delicious without needling a needle!" Unable to resist the village chief's persuasion, he tasted a mouthful of pickled vegetables and tofu. The second doll, Tang Zhen...

"The story of the vegetable boss and the young woman, let me tell you this story, brother, how about it, brother? It's more exciting and exciting than your story of 'the pretty widow in the mountain village and the old village chief'..."

The two were bragging about their "great achievements". The old village chief didn't know the story, but Tang Zhen's story was obviously copied from Wang Lihong, so he just changed the character to himself...

Two yellow Longmen arrays, a pot of middle-end rice wine produced in the county, and half a table of delicious and sumptuous appetizers... The relationship between the two men, one old and one young, was quickly drawn, and it was very difficult to ask for help immediately.

No, the village chief's name is Li Xiaoma, and the lame Tang Zhen didn't call him old man anymore, he just called him Brother Xiao Ma; and the village chief?I don't care about the age difference between the two of them by 30 or [-] years, and each of them has a brother Tang...

"Tsk tsk, brother Tang, although you came out of the county town, your eyelids are still shallow. I think back then, brother, when I was in the county town, how did you say that word? Use the word you scholars often say Son? Ah yes, it's the 'ox pen'!"

Tang Zhen kept in mind the incident of being overwhelmed by drinking that day, and he no longer dared to underestimate the wine in this world, so although the two of them drank almost a pot, most of them fell into the stomach of the old village chief...

Tang Zhen is still very clear-headed now, and of course he doesn't believe the village chief's bullshit, but he hurriedly asked about the county town, focusing on martial arts. After all, he still remembered the mission of the dog system...

The village head glanced at Tang Zhen, his expression was not as drunk as before, he sighed, and said:
"I have been back to the village for so many years, and you are the first person who didn't ask me if the chicken in the county is good... For the sake of these two jars of wine, let me tell you... The jar is not open, But it's mine..."

Tang Zhen has nothing to do, like a good baby, sitting on the armchair next to the haystack, listening to the old village chief, the past...

The village head picked up the wine bowl, took a small sip, and his misty eyes seemed to have traveled through time and space... He saw a young man with a gun practicing assassination decades ago in a school yard...

"Back then, when I was a few years younger than you now, I was also a gangster in the county town. I spent my whole day sneaking up on windows, picking doors and locks and digging holes..."

"One day, I felt that I had had enough of living a life of doing nothing all day long, and I came up with the idea of ​​going to the county town."

"I followed a caravan and came to the county town. But I couldn't even afford to eat, and I didn't want to join the gang anymore, so I simply joined the army and was sent to the town to garrison..."

"Wait, brother, you said that you have been in the county, why don't you be a militiaman in the town?"

Tang Zhen was dumbfounded, afraid that he would lose another two jars of wine...

"Your family was really rich before, so how could you get fame? You don't know the status of the town?"

The village chief looked at Tang Zhen disdainfully and asked.

"Well, I really don't know, why don't you listen to things outside the window and only read sage books..."

Tang Zhen slandered, what status does the militia in your township have, and the militia in the county is not a militia?
"The words are beautiful, but you are stupid in reading...Okay, I will tell you a comprehensive story...Do the math, how many towns are there in our Menliang County?" the village chief asked temperately. road.

"Well, there is Qixia Town... there is... uh..."

Tang Zhen was shocked. In the past few days, he had heard of villages, villages, townships, and forts... He even knew Xiong Renshu's hometown, Xiong Zhan'ao... but he had only heard of Qixia Town in this town!

"Hey, there is only one town in Menliang County!" The village chief raised a finger with a smile, and looked at Tang Zhen, as if a person looks at a dog, and Wei Shen looks at me...

"The two major military systems of the imperial dynasty, one is the soldiers of the marching road, and the other is the soldiers of the towns... The other county soldiers, county soldiers, and even the prefectural soldiers of the state capital belong to the preparations of these two systems... and I am also Those who went through various selections from the county soldiers were selected into the town soldiers..."

The village chief smiled proudly, but when he thought of what happened now, he was discouraged again, and then said:
"What does town mean? Town means suppression, suppressing a forbidden area occupied by alien beasts; suppressing soldiers is the first force to face alien beasts..."

Tang Zhen was still digesting the news he heard, and blurted out: "Then, what does the strange beast look like?"

The smile on the old village head's face froze, as if he had thought of something, he pondered for a while, and spit out four words: "It's so terrifying!"

"I heard from Daniel that the nearby Zhuangzi killed strange beasts more than ten years ago..."

Before Tang Zhen could finish speaking, the village chief interrupted him and said:
"That's not the alien beast that came out of the forbidden area of ​​Qixia Mountain, it's the alien beast that has successfully alienated from the outside world and has just entered the product..."

"Are there grades for alien beasts?" Tang Zhen asked.

"Of course, it's the same grade as a warrior." The old village chief answered Tang Zhen's question, but he didn't want Tang Zhen to interrupt his train of thought, so he waved his hand and continued.

"Do you know how terrifying the strange beasts in the forbidden area are? Everyone in town is practicing martial arts, and officers must enter the ranks! This is the iron law!"

"And do you know the military configuration of a town? For example, in Menliang County, Qixia Town is just a small town...no, it's a small town, with five hundred town soldiers, eight hundred county soldiers, one thousand township bravery, plus criminal service Wait, the number is approaching [-]."

"This is still the lowest level of military power in the town. When the situation is critical, the town's guard will give an order. All gangs, guilds, sects and other folk forces must obey the order, and the combat power will immediately increase."

"Think about it, this is the lowest-level forbidden area... and the county is only a middle-level forbidden area, but there are [-] soldiers in the town and [-] soldiers in the county! Going up, the force of those large-scale forbidden areas is unimaginable!"

Tang Zhen felt that he had received too much information, and it was difficult to digest for a while. He picked up the wine on the table and took two sips... His heart was a little restless...

The old village chief was not in a hurry, continued to sip his wine, and said to Tang Zhen, "Do you have any questions?"
