Chapter 9
Zhuang Wanquan called these three people the "Two Five Seven" combination.Everything else is fine, she is quite interested in that Bai Qilang.

I heard from Chen Wujin that Bai Qilang's parents had given birth to six sons before him, and they hoped that the seventh child would be a child, but they failed to do so.The old couple, who were eager for a daughter, raised him as a daughter, and over time they became a little girlish.

There are many males in the family, so it is natural for someone to serve in the military. His second brother had died in battle before, and his family is the first to bear the brunt of the conscription.The other elder brothers are all married and need to support their families, but he is the only one. He is weak and cannot carry on his shoulders or hands. He is the most useless at home, so he was sent to join the army.

Zhuang Wan looked at Bai Qilang who was earnestly embroidering, and couldn't help feeling sympathetic. If his parents hadn't raised him as a daughter since childhood, he would be an upright man now.

When Chen Wujin mentioned his life experience, Bai Qilang did not show any disgust. There must be many people who know about it.What's more, a discerning person can tell at a glance that he lacks energy and is more than feminine.

"By the way, what's your name, and what did you do for a living before?" Chen Wujin asked her.

"Oh! My name is Zhuang Wan, I am... a businessman!"

"Businessman? What business do you do?"

"This..." Zhuang Wan said with a smile, "I haven't thought about it yet."

[-]: "..."

"No business can be done now!" Chen Wujin said, "It would be nice if we could go back with all our needs."

"It's not easy!" Lai Er continued, "We'll pretend to be dead when we go to the battlefield!"

Zhuang Wan looked at him appreciatively, wanting to say "heroes see the same thing".

"Greedy for life and afraid of death!" Bai Qilang said "cut", "You're a man of seven feet in vain!"

Lai Er couldn't hold back his face, and shouted: "Your surname is Bai, don't make sarcastic remarks there!"

"Don't say a few words!" Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Chen Wujin quickly pulled Lai Er away, turned around and saw Zhuang Wan preparing to spread the bedding, and said, "Let me help you!"

"No, I can do it!" Zhuang Wan thought to herself that if a real person can't be judged by appearances, Chen Wujin looks fierce, but he is honest and enthusiastic.

Bai Qilang put down his needle and thread, "Let me do it! You are clumsy."

"It's really unnecessary!" Zhuang Wan wanted to say that her hand was still intact.

"Alright, let Qilang come, Qilang is careful!" Chen Wujin stepped aside.

"Put it down!" A voice as cold as a cold spring suddenly sounded, and several people looked at Yan Cheng who was standing at the door.

Yan Cheng glanced at "Two Five Seven", walked over with a cold face, and pulled the quilt that Bai Qilang was clutching in his hands.

"..."

Bai Qilang looked at the man who was a head taller than him and stood aside in a daze.Although he was raised as a daughter, his stature was no different from that of ordinary men, and he had never done any rough work. He was fair and handsome, and would be molested by girls when he went out.

When he saw Zhuang Wan just now, he already felt that she was prettier than him, but she was short in stature, so he didn't take it to heart.But the man in front of him is not only handsome, but also tall and straight, full of masculinity.He had never seen such an extraordinary person, and he felt ashamed in an instant.

"This brother was also arrested!" Chen Wujin said regretfully, "Looking at my brother's attitude, it's a pity to join the army!"

Yan Cheng didn't answer.

"You..." Lai Er narrowed his eyes for a closer look, and said, "Aren't you the one selling chicken coops?"

Without saying a word, Yan Cheng laid out Zhuang Wan's bedding as if no one else was there, and seeing that the adjacent berth had already been occupied, he pointed to the messy bedding and asked, "Whose bedding is it?

Lai Er took a look, "Mine, what's wrong?"

Yan Cheng: "Move away, I want to sleep here!"

Unconvinced, Lai Er said, "Move if you say so, why?"

Yan Cheng squinted at him with a kind of ruthlessness that would shock people's hearts. Lai Er was frightened by the look in his eyes, so he lowered his head and dared not look directly at him.Zhuang Wan quickly smoothed things over: "That's right, we are from the same town, so we have a care together."

"So it is!" Chen Wujin said to Lai Er: "Lai Er, move away quickly!"

Lai Er picked up his quilt, muttering in his mouth: "Move it, just move it, what's the big deal."

Only then did Yan Cheng spread out his quilt next to Zhuang Wan.

"How did you get it back?" Zhuang Wan asked him curiously.

Yan Cheng replied: "Money can make ghosts turn the mill!"

"Oh..." Zhuang Wan nodded, she had completely forgotten that she was a rich man with a huge sum of ten taels.

Lai Er was still thinking about something, but he didn't dare to raise his voice.He is a beggar, the lowest in the house, and he is thin and timid by nature.Apart from flirting with Bai Qilang, he couldn't provoke anyone else. Although Yan Cheng didn't look as strong as Chen Wujin, he was taller, and dealing with him was not like carrying a chicken.

His depressed mood was not distracted until another person came in outside the door.

"Old beggar, why are you here?"

The stooped old man with disheveled gray hair timidly looked at the people in the room at the door, only to relax a little when he heard Lai Er calling him.

"Lai Er, are you here too?"

Lai Er instantly felt that there was someone lower than himself in the barracks, so he warmly welcomed the old man in, "Come on, sit down!"

Chen Wujin said: "This government is really inhumane, the old man has also been arrested."

The old man sighed: "When the officer was arresting the beggar, I ran a step slower and was arrested. I said that I was old and useless, but the officer said that since I can run, I can go to the battlefield and dragged me too." gone!"

Zhuang Wan looked at the room where there were old and weak, men and women, women and men...

Tsk, except for Yan Cheng, this battlefield is full of cannon fodder.

Can't help cursing: "This government is too absurd! It's just to send people to die."

Yan Chengdao: "If the government wants to complete the conscription, it doesn't need to be forced to recruit. It will first fill the army with beggars, refugees, and idlers in the city. This will not only fill the army, but also maintain law and order in the city."

"This brother is right!" Chen Wujin said enthusiastically, "It's fate to meet together, dare to ask brother's name."

Yan Cheng didn't answer him, Chen Wujin felt a little embarrassed.

Zhuang Wan hurriedly said: "His name is... Li Daniu!" Every time she mentioned Yan Cheng's former name, she wanted to laugh.

"He is taciturn by nature, don't be offended!"

"Oh..." Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, a person with such a temperament is a bit arrogant (not pleasing to the eye).

Zhuang Wan was also relieved that although these people came from different classes, they were considered good people, and Yan Cheng would not be bullied.

What she is most afraid of now is that he will be stimulated again.Although the villain's blackening did not happen overnight, the damage to him from the outside world is definitely a catalyst.

The barracks ate three meals a day, but only the Pingnan Army, the direct troops of King Qi, had meat in their meals, and the recruits only ate vegetarian food such as steamed buns and pancakes.

Zhuang Wan, who had been eating rough food for several days, really had no appetite, but she had to eat.The barracks is no different than the outside, every day is the devil training physical work.

"This steamed bun is so delicious!" Lai Er had already eaten five of them in one sitting.The old beggar sitting next to him wolfed down and said, "Finally I can eat enough!"

"You're always choking, don't worry, you're full here!" Chen Wujin advised him.

The old man took great effort to swallow what was in his mouth and said, "I'm used to it. If I didn't eat something good before, I would be robbed."

Bai Qilang smiled and said: "I see that you can run and eat, maybe you can make meritorious service in the battlefield!"

"Don't make fun of me, old man!" The old beggar looked at Yan Cheng and said, "But although my old beggar has no skills, I have seen countless people in the past few decades. I look at this Mr. Li. A dragon and a phoenix among people will surely make great achievements in the sky in the future."
