Daming kill

Chapter 74 The Gap
Ever since he knew that Li Ping had been promoted to guerrilla, Liu Shixiong had mixed feelings in his heart and was indescribably depressed.

After Li Ping left the outskirts of Xiangyang, he thought he could keep his mind at peace, but he was even more depressed. He knew in his heart that it was a strong envy and hatred.

Moreover, he was even more curious about what kind of villa Li Ping got and how much benefit he got, but it was not easy to visit the villa because of face.

After all, it's really a bit far to go once, and they have never been close, and without a suitable reason, they will only make themselves a fool in the eyes of others.

It is really just right for Zhao Meiling to want to sharpen the mirror.

In order not to show his impatience, Liu Shixiong delayed for another two days, and then "reluctantly" set out on the road under Zhao Meiling's urging.

For the sake of safety and to strengthen the momentum, he brought most of the soldiers in his battalion with him, leaving only a few who looked too old and weak. Anyway, Wang Chengwu and Shi Ming's soldiers and horses were there at home. Don't worry about the old nest.

Originally, he had some imaginations about the villa that Li Ping got, and it was probably a bigger dilapidated place, but when he reached the gate of the villa, he was slightly shocked.

Judging from the exquisiteness of the walls and the grandeur of the gate, the inside is absolutely the same.

And the two statue-like soldiers at the door also gave him a lot of illusions, as if he saw the powerful institutions of later generations.Although he always felt that this foolish way of standing guard was extremely useless, but this time he clearly felt a sense of oppression in his heart.

Because there was no greeting in advance, and no cavalry came out to pass the pass, the soldiers guarding the gate did not let him in at all, but let him wait outside the security line of the gate for a reply from inside (the distance between the security line and the gate was nearly ten meters, which was A line paved with bricks, within which is a safe zone shall not be approached).

After Li Ping was promoted to Guerrilla, the rules were naturally stricter, and since it was such a remote place, the guards were naturally stricter.

Of course, Li Ping's sentinels were not required to be so rigid. The main reason was that Liu Shixiong's level was not high enough and he didn't know him.If it was a guerrilla or even their personal servant who came, the sentinels would definitely be more polite.

Li Ping hadn't been with everyone for a long time, and Liu Shixiong basically didn't come to Li Ping's camp. Except for a few veterans, no one in Li Ping's army knew Liu Shixiong, let alone their relationship.

Being blocked from the door, Liu Shixiong lost face.

He cursed angrily, but the sentinel remained unmoved.Moreover, more than a dozen soldiers with weapons rushed out of the gate and faced him fiercely, as if they might kill him at any time.

Liu Shixiong immediately froze, and the curse quickly switched to "don't misunderstand, don't misunderstand" begging, and he obediently retreated beyond the safety line.

When Liu Shixiong looked back at his soldiers, his temper broke out again.

His group of subordinates all retreated to a place far away from him at some point, and looked at him in awe, without any intention of stepping forward to help.

The two soldiers from Zhao Jinying who came with them looked at each other with strange expressions.These two soldiers were not Zhao Jin's personal soldiers, and Li Ping's guards were not familiar with them, and it was not their turn to talk and negotiate just now.

Liu Shixiong's face turned from red to white, and he was furious.

Not only was the soldier raised for nothing, but his face was also lost. He couldn't help but yell at his soldiers.

Amidst the scolding, an old man wearing a bright iron helmet and a short cloth armor trotted out from the door with a smile on his face.Liu Shixiong saw that the officer looked familiar, but he couldn't name him, but he knew him.

Amid the sound of apology from the officer on duty Hu Zhongshan, Liu Shixiong walked into the villa arrogantly and cursing, but it was a pity that this officer who finally "knew numbers" did not condemn the sentries and guard soldiers at all.

Liu Shixiong still didn't ask the old man's name, he couldn't help it.

As soon as he entered Zhuangzi, someone came and took Liu Shixiong's horse away, and led all his subordinates to other places. Hu Zhongshan took a small follower and continued to lead him in with a smile on his face.

Liu Shixiong, who has seen the life of an official, felt a little contempt in his heart: "The official is not very old, and the rules are established very quickly!"

Sure enough, there is heaven and earth inside this Zhuangzi, not to mention the big ones, the scenery is not bad, and the houses are well arranged.

After walking a few steps, Song Baolai greeted him.

As soon as we met, Liu Shixiong immediately said: "My family insisted that I come to you. She heard that Zhao Lanyue's bronze mirror was polished by you. Her mirror was so dirty that I couldn't find a good mirror polisher. , I also want to ask you to help me deal with it. What a waste of work, I still have a lot of things to do!"

Song Baolai was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "So it's about this, I thought you were here to play. However, I do happen to have a good artist here with good skills. But, brother Liu, please send someone to let me know." That's fine, I'll let him bring the thing to your house to grind, it's such a trivial matter that you still have to go so far for yourself, isn't that unusual?"

"Hey! Isn't this a rush. Women have a lot of things, and that face is more important than anything else. The one who reminded you is like something. You will understand when you get married. Do whatever your wife tells you to do. It's useless to say anything else. , I can’t afford to be so angry.” Liu Shixiong vomited bitterly.

After Song Baolai heard it, he didn't say any more, because they were not very familiar with each other.So he just smiled and said something like "It's not easy, brother!", and then asked Liu Shixiong if he had lunch.

Liu Shixiong came out early in the morning. He was riding a horse, but his subordinates had no horses and walked slowly. Naturally, it was already past noon when they arrived at the villa.And Liu Shixiong expected to be entertained, so he didn't prepare any dry food, and he was already starving.

Therefore, Song Baolai immediately ordered Hu Zhongshan to arrange meals, and asked to arrange meals for the soldiers who came with him.

On the way to Song Baolai's house, Liu Shixiong spat again at the situation at the door just now and repeatedly emphasized that he knew that Song Baolai probably couldn't control the security affairs, but he was straightforward and couldn't hold back his words.

Liu Shixiong said that the guards always get stuck, and everyone can't be blocked. It's no fun for people like them who were originally together to block each other.It seems to be strict, but isn't it good or bad?

It doesn't matter if he gets stuck today, and he won't argue with his brothers, but what if he gets stuck one day and can't afford to offend someone?Didn't that just bring disaster on yourself?He also wanted to say it out of kindness, if it was someone else, he would only read it as a joke.

Song Baolai groaned and laughed for a long time after listening, but did not express his opinion.

Seeing that Song Baolai hadn't answered, Liu Shixiong had no choice but to stop talking in the end. He just asked about the situation in Zhuangzi, and Song Baolai knew everything this time.

Liu Shixiong went to Song Baolai's place, and his subordinates were led to a simple yard to rest.

The yard was obviously newly built. Not only did it have houses and beds, but also quilts, tableware, and chairs and stools in the yard.It's just a little small and a little off.

However, none of Liu Shixiong's subordinates minded these things. In fact, they were all a little timid.After the soldiers accompanying them left, they let go a little.

On the way from the gate of the village to here, there happened to be a few rows of training soldiers passing by them. The uniform clothes, neat steps and loud singing scared them a little.

Old man He didn't go into the house to grab the bed like some people did. He drank several large bowls of water from the side tank and basked in the sun on a chair in the yard. The energy has dried up, and it would be a pain to lie down in a cool room at this time, even with a quilt!
He really didn't expect that the general manager Liu Shixiong would be so picky, and after walking such a long way, he still only ate those in the morning, and then he didn't bring any dry food to replenish his energy in the middle.

Looking at the two soldiers in the camp of General Zhao who led the way together not far away, the two brothers had a relaxed expression and were very relaxed.Old man He knew they were not hungry because they had brought dry food.

But this also made old man He even more depressed and upset.

While he was slandering himself, the chief of his own post put his hands in his sleeves and said: "Did you see that the soldiers who passed by just now had shoes, and they were all cotton-covered shoes! Clothes also There are no patches, and the stomach looks full."

"Are you hungry?" Old man He asked with a slanted face.

"Isn't it? I don't know what he gives us to eat here? Can we eat a dry meal? I heard that when we are all in the same camp, they eat three meals here. We came slowly, and it was already past noon. For the next meal, people should eat it when it is getting dark, so how long do we have to wait?" The whistle chief kept pursing his lips.

When the old man heard it, he immediately regained his spirits, turned around and asked, "Eat three meals? Are you telling the truth? Are you kidding me?"

"What are you doing to lie to you? We are far away from each other, so most people don't know about it, and it is even more impossible for us Shangguan to tell us. But last time I was sent to their camp to handle errands, and I personally heard what one of their captains said. "The whistle chief said mysteriously.

Then he added another sentence: "Don't talk nonsense, let us know the boss, and you must kill me."

"Okay, it's better not to know. What's the use of it other than being greedy." Old man He was a little sluggish after he finished speaking.So, both of them sighed a few more times, and huddled together to bask in the sun...

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat. Where's your sentinel?" Suddenly several neatly dressed soldiers came in from outside the courtyard, and a donkey cart was parked at the door.

"Food, what are you eating, where is it?" The thin whistle chief got out of nowhere first, and old man He and his whistle chief also looked at the door vaguely.

"On the donkey cart outside, please help move it. Are you the head of the whistle?..." Before the guy who was staring at the shoes of the thin whistle chief could finish his sentence, the whole yard suddenly boiled, and then a group of people "Fierce" rushed towards the donkey cart outside the door...

I ate noodles with a little bit of diced chicken in it.

God!It's really meat, and there are oily flowers floating on it.

It's so fucking delicious!
Is this Chinese New Year?

The sound of exclamation kept murmuring from the mouths of a large group of sucking, sucking, and puffing.

But the guys who came to deliver the food didn’t seem to be surprised, they just kept saying loudly: “Don’t worry, and don’t rush. Eat slowly, don’t choke, there’s more after eating, don’t worry about it, don’t worry about it.” lie to you!"

To these gangs, this group of guys is no different from the group of recruits in the camp some time ago, and those boys just believed that there is really no need to rob them in the past two days.

……

Basking in the sun with a full stomach may be the most pleasant thing in life.

At this time, Liu Shixiong's seventy or so subordinates all gathered in the small courtyard to sunbathe their bellies.They chatted loudly, they talked and laughed loudly, and the whole yard was full of laughter. No one went to sleep in the house anymore, and no one stepped out of the yard.

At this time, as long as no one tells them what they can do or what they cannot do, they will first choose to be good babies, let alone wander around with excessive curiosity. They are now the most conscious group of people.

But soon, as time passed, as the talking and laughing began to become dull and repetitive, most of the people crowded into the house again, and the sleep after eating was just as pleasant.

When the sky began to darken, many people in the yard had already woken up from their naps, and they started chatting again and again.

At this time, a donkey cart stopped at the door again, and it was still the same gangs, still the same few words.But this time, everyone in the yard was stunned and didn't react for a while.

Have dinner again?How long is this!
All the people couldn't believe it, and then everyone hesitated to come together, and then the commotion broke out again.

The interval is a bit short, and several people in the logistics department have very different opinions.No matter how well off they are, food is always precious, especially since the security camp still insists on having two meals a day.

In the end, it was Hu Zhongshan who made the decision.

He has already discovered that the relationship between Li Ping and Liu Shixiong is not simple. Although they don't look close, they are very close, especially Zhao Lanyue and Liu Shixiong are relatives.

He did not dare to neglect.

In line with the principle of letting everyone eat before going to bed, dinner is still prepared.

Dinner is dry rice, pickled vegetables, boiled vegetables, and soup, and oily flowers are still floating on the boiled vegetables.Although the dishes are quantitative, rice and soup are still enough.

After the old man worked hard to finish a bowl of rice, he wiped his mouth fragrantly, hesitated and decided to fill the second bowl.He thought to himself that he would go back tomorrow, and there was no chance of such a full meal, even if he was full, he would have to eat enough.

While serving rice, he ran into his whistle chief, who also came to fill the second bowl. The two smiled at each other, and his whistle chief whispered to him, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

After the meal was finished, the two naturally got together again. Old man He said with emotion: "If we can do this every day, you can ask me to do whatever you want. I don't mind how much you trouble me. I will listen to whatever you say."
