Chapter 326 Small talk
The temporary barracks in the city were quite crowded, and the recruits with their families crowded into a small room, which was very close to the hut and far from the bathhouse, and several people needed to squeeze into one room.

But no one complained because they knew it would be empty soon and the house would be empty by then.

Everyone huddled together in silence, and they were so disheartened that they even ate, as if they were eating a severed meal.

The night in late autumn was already very cold, because there were too many people in the room, the atmosphere was chaotic, and the cold was suffocating.

Song Huiyue opened the door and walked out.

The cold wind got in through a crack, and Li Jun, who was about to follow Yin Xiao out, immediately got goosebumps, retreated quickly, and quickly closed the thin door tightly, telling the two of them to come back early through the door.

Seeing that he didn't go, Song Huiyue turned around and opened the door again, and handed over the copper coins that Yin Xiao was carrying to Li Jun, and she only took the copper coins that Yin Xiao had with her.

It was dry and cold outside, and the two of them strolled in the courtyard and wandered around the city. There were still many wooden piles, bricks and tiles piled up on the street, and the ground was covered with loess. Sound——The dinner in the barracks is flashy and hypocritical. To Yin Xiao, it is equivalent to an appetizer.

He has an amazing appetite, because he has suffered from severe hunger and is always on the verge of life and death, so he must eat if he can eat, as long as he eats, he will not die.

Song Huiyue heard the growl in his stomach, so she found a foot shop—it was so small that one side of the wall collapsed and there was no money to repair it.

She ordered two bowls of bean curd, four sesame seed cakes, a catty of donkey meat, and two jugs of rice wine.

The clerk looked at the tattoo on Yin Xiao's hand, and smiled apologetically: "Forgive me, the guest, the small shop is not expensive, and now the water you drink is scarce, although there is still wine, but the price is very expensive..."

"I'll pay first." Song Huiyue took out a copper coin and placed it on the table.

The clerk took the money, untied the rope, took out another [-] coins for Song Huiyue, and went to the back kitchen.

When the food shop was ready, Song Huiyue tasted the donkey meat, took out a sesame biscuit, and pushed the rest to Yin Xiao: "Eat it."

So Yin Xiao buried his head in chewing, and after eating, he burped, and this time he was really full.

Song Huiyue didn't eat much, but drank two jugs of wine. When she went out, her feet were erratic, so she let Yin Xiao carry her on her back.

Yin Xiao's belly was heavy, and Song Huiyue, who was light and light on his back, listened attentively to the sounds around him.

Under the silent night, there are always subtle voices. The drought is slowly cracking the whole Dingzhou, and the life is gradually dying, only the people are still strong.

The shadow stretched very long on the ground, Song Huiyue looked down for a while, and felt that the shadows of the two people stacked together were very interesting, so she smiled lightly.

Her laughter pierced Yin Xiao's ears, and the sound of breathing brushed Yin Xiao's hair, making him unable to close his eyes, and a series of colorful and beautiful lights flashed in front of his eyes.

He replied with a smile in his heart: "That's great."

Song Huiyue stared at the shadow for a moment, then said lazily, "Tan Ran is going to win Aunt Lin away. If Aunt Lin marries him, life will not be as easy as it is now."

Yin Xiao replied: "When I go back, I will break them up."

Song Huiyue wondered, "How did you break it up?"

Yin Xiao said seriously: "If he dares to marry Aunt Lin, I will break his legs."

Song Huiyue laughed twice, and slapped him: "You should be kind to your family members, a beating is enough."

Yin Xiao nodded: "Yes, I listen to you."

"You are still young, so you don't understand," Song Huiyue said here, and confidently talked to Yin Xiao about getting married, "I have experience, I understand, if we are too tough, we will scare Tan Ran away , then Aunt Lin will be sad."

Yin Xiao thought about Song Huiyue's experience, and it should all come from Huang Wenqiu. As for King Jin, he hadn't reached the point of discussing marriage, Song Huiyue didn't mention it himself, and he didn't ask.

"No one wants me anymore, but I don't need anyone to want me, and I can live on my own," Song Huiyue said again, "When the business in Kyoto is over, I will go to Tanzhou to be a lady."

Yin Xiao lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I want it."

Song Huiyue heard it clearly, patted him on the shoulder again, and said happily: "My good brother, I don't love you for nothing, but you don't have anyone who wants you, so I don't need you to worry about it."

Yin Xiao lowered her eyes, watching Song Huiyue's arms around her body, dim light flowing on her body, a hazy mist was reflected in her clothes, her wrists were thin and clean, and the bone beads were undulating under her skin, making him I felt that what I was carrying on my back was the incarnation of God in the human world.

Song Huiyue was speechless again, until Yin Xiao stopped when she saw a roast sparrow seller, and handed over all the remaining copper coins in her hand.

The peddler Dong's nose was red, he counted the copper coins, and quickly took out two to Song Huiyue, and Song Huiyue gave one to Yin Xiao: "I can't wait to join the army, so I don't always have to hang on the sea arrest documents and worry about it." .”

Yin Xiao stared at the skinny roasted sparrow: "I won't let anyone take you away."

"I know, the He family doesn't know what's going on."

Thinking of the He family, Song Huiyue felt a lot of emotion, so the two vicious men took the roasted sparrows and chirped in the cold wind, chewing their tongues and spitting out their bones, not taking the battle to kill the enemy as a serious matter at all.

After three days of being crowded and dirty and spending money like running water, they finally waited for the day when they needed to go to battle-the Liao Kingdom invaded.

All the strong men who joined the army came to bid farewell to their families, all of them were very heavy, but Yin Xiao and Li Jun walked briskly, one was completely fearless and did not even bring his own spear, one was under a big tree to enjoy the shade, Don't panic at all.

Song Huiyue was sitting in the barracks, surrounded by the sound of sobbing. The child didn't know why, so she also wailed. No one changed the child's wet pants, and gradually emitted a strong smell of urine, coupled with the smell of cold food. , leaving her in an extremely bad smell.

She didn't go out to breathe, but sat still, sweating a little amidst the loud noise.

After waiting, until midnight, Yin Xiao and Li Jun came back in full.

Although the two of them were not injured, they were exhausted to death, because the refugees served as the former army. If they survived by chance, they had to clean up the battlefield, transport the wounded back to the barracks, and then carry their own corpses back. All usable weapons had to be brought, and even the dead horses could not be left behind, they had to be carried back to eat.

So they not only went to the battlefield, but also worked as coolies, which were more tiring than those who resisted the big bags on the dock.

They wanted to sleep, but there was a mess of voices all around them, some were asking about their husband, about their son, about their father, about their brother, all disturbing, wishing to tear Yin Xiao and Li Jun into countless pieces.

Li Jun endured and endured, and finally told the truth: "If you don't come back, you are dead."

The crowded room became extremely quiet in an instant, and everyone could hear their hearts beating wildly in their chests, making a loud "dong dong" sound.

It was just an insignificant refugee who died on the battlefield, but in the eyes of their family members, the sky had fallen.
