Hollow fool

Xie Yuan kept the fan in his hand, and the wind passed through the gap that Lao Fang had raised. Soon the fire started from below, burning fiercely, and the thick black smoke stopped.

She loosened her hand covering her mouth and nose, pursed her lips, looked at the burning flames with a determined expression, and after a while said: "I think I can have a better life, be a general, and do what I like to do.

"

Lao Fang looked at him in surprise, with a somewhat desolate look on his face, and sighed: "It's just you who are lucky enough to think about all kinds of things, while those of us who are unlucky only think about whether we can have food."

, can you save your life?"

While he was talking, Lunzi came back with a load of water.

Lao Fang turned around and said to the idiot:

"Er fool, tell Yuan'er why you came to serve as a soldier."

The fool poured water into the big pot and said with a smile: "There is a famine and there is no food to eat. Come to the barracks to get some food."

Lao Fang turned around and looked at Xie Yuan and said:

"Have you seen it? We all came here like this, but I don't understand why you want to be a soldier when you are living a good life? You said you..."

He looked at Xie Yuan again and said: "If you have connections in the family, go to the higher-ups and get an official position, or follow the elders who are generals in the family. It will not be your turn to charge into battle. If you win the battle, you will only get the credit. This

Forget it. Just go out and be the leader...I think you can compete with the fool."

Xie Yuan knew that he couldn't explain what was going on, so he changed the subject and asked, "Why do you call him a fool?"

"Why is he stupid? His family used to be able to afford a literate teacher. But when there was a war and famine, his parents were gone, so he took gold and silver to the military camp in exchange for food.

Good guy, such a big man, who is more than ten years old. He showed off all the treasures that his family had saved for two lifetimes. As a result, the commander in the camp at that time... was the God of Wealth. He was jealous and wanted to steal it for himself.

, I sent him to Jiawu that day, thinking that when he died in the battle, no one would know, and all the money would be his.

Fortunately, the captain of Jia Wu at the time was from the same hometown as him. After a few more conversations, they realized what Si Jun had in mind when he sent a naive recruit like him to Jia Wu.

Later, after the battle, he did not die. The commander of Jiawu didn't know why, so he became the new commander. The old commander was fired by the captain, and he died in the battle not long after he was transferred to Jiawu.

.

No, the current Si Jun... that is, the "God of Wealth" is his fellow villager. He told him a lot about the joints in the past and arranged them in this small group, which can be regarded as taking care of him. "

Xie Yuan listened silently, frowning slightly and saying nothing.

Lao Fang looked at her and said:

"...The captain of our team is from the same hometown as the God of Wealth. You shouldn't contradict him today. The captain has been covering up for you for a long time and you still don't respond. I think you are no different from a fool. You are so heartless. If we start a fight later,

When the war comes, they will randomly assign you a job and pass it in front of the enemy, and your life will be gone. It depends on what you do in the future..."

Xie Yuan's brows furrowed even more, and he put the firewood under the cauldron again, with a look of irritation on his face...

She just wanted to fight, achieve military success, and prove herself... She never thought that being a soldier would involve so many trivial things...

The water in the cauldron gradually formed a layer of mist under the fierce fire.

When Lao Fang saw Xie Yuan just looking at the water in the pot and frowning, he went to help her think of a solution and said:

"Hey...are you really that Shen Qingzhi's disciple? If you recognize any of General Shen's cronies in the barracks, look for them and find yourself a reliable backer. Do you know he can save his life at a critical moment?"

Xie Yuan thought about it irritably, then shook his head and said, "I don't know anyone in this military camp."

Lao Fang sighed in disappointment and said:

"Hey... But it may not be useful to look for it. General Shen and his soldiers don't know whether he is dead or alive. There is no certainty. As the saying goes, if the tree falls, the hozen will scatter. If he is still alive, it will be useful to mention him. He If it's gone, it will definitely be useless..."

Xie Yuan felt uncomfortable hearing this, so he stood up and said, "Uncle Fang, I'm going to relieve myself..." After that, he walked out of the camp.

When the fool heard this, he called her and said: "Wait for me, I will go with you!"

Xie Yuan quickened his pace, ran to his horse two or three times, jumped on it, and said, "No... I want to feed my horse by the way."

After that, he took the reins and ran away...

The fool patted the dirt on his butt, turned to Lao Fang, who was lighting the fire, and said, "Uncle Fang...Am I disliked by Yuan'er?...Why?"

Lao Fang rolled his eyes at him: "I think you are stupid, what else can I dislike about you?"

When the fool heard this, he touched his head in embarrassment, squatted down again, and started lighting the fire with Lao Fang. Lao Fang raised his eyes and stared at him for a while, and said:

"Aren't you going to pee?!"

"Oh! Oh... By the way, I forgot." The idiot stood up in a daze for a moment and ran away.

Lao Fang looked at his running back with a sad and anxious expression and sighed, saying:

"Today's babies are really... they are all as silly as straw, hollow."

…

…

Xie Yuan rode his horse and chose a place as far away as possible with a wide view, got off his horse, and found a place to squat down and relieve himself.

Men and women are different. Men pee standing up. When she was a child, she had peed standing up, but she could only wet her pants. Then she got a lesson from her own mother, who thought she was stupid.

Usually when I'm at home, my mother is very secretive about a man's body, as if if I tell her more about it, she'll be spoiled and dirty.

But now she entered the barracks, and the camp was full of men. They usually exposed their breasts casually, or found a corner to stand and urinate. She saw everything that should be seen and shouldn't be seen.

So I can’t even understand what’s so taboo about these things. Isn’t it just that they look different? What can I do if I know?

Moreover, she inexplicably associated these with despicableness and shame...because she even received a slap from her mother because of her inquisitiveness.

Thinking about it now, I still feel extremely unfair.

The most puzzling thing is that because of that little difference, it is stipulated that girls cannot do this or that, but boys have so many choices.

If she hadn't been afraid that they would find out she was a girl and kick her out, she wouldn't have been so cautious, fearing that people would know she squatted down to urinate.

Xie Yuan depressedly put on his pants, led the horse to a tree, leaned against the tree and frowned, feeling a little depressed:

When she was at home, she listened to her master talk about how to be a general, how to fight, how to kill people, how to strategize and make achievements... But it was only after she entered the barracks for two days that she realized that the battlefield in her master's words was very different from the battlefield in reality. :

Who would have thought that a military camp in reality is just about cooking and setting up tents, with intrigues over trivial matters, cliques between fellow villagers, and even the drills are like child's play...

She even has some doubts now that what her master Shen Qingzhi told her was just to amuse children.
