Tie Kui Extra Story (26)
Because Tie Kui had just turned fifteen, he must have been at least sixteen years old to be on the battlefield in the army. So Tie Kui spent his first year in the army training in the army and never went to the battlefield.
The military camp is a place where strength is emphasized, and it is not suitable to hide one's strength and bide one's time here. So Tie Kui enlisted in the army for half a year, and stood out from the crowd because of his outstanding performance.
After the training that day, the corps leader called Tie Kui out and said: "Song Sihai and Song Shen are going to choose guards. Do you want to go? If you want to go, I can find someone to sign up for you." Tie Kui may not be the strongest, but He is definitely the youngest. Younger age, stronger plasticity.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I don't want to be a bodyguard for someone else." He would still consider other generals. Song Huaijin was his father-killing enemy, how could he protect the Song family.
The corporal leader said: "You have to think carefully. If you are selected, it will not only be safe for you to be a guard by the general, but it will also be of great benefit to your future." If you are the guard of General Song, it is the Song family. People of the same line will naturally support him in the future.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "Brother He, I appreciate your kindness. It's just that I have a bad temper. If I want to serve as Song Shenjiang's guard, I'm afraid I'll cause trouble for him."
The corporal commander surnamed He patted Tie Kui on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has his own ambition, so if you don't want to, forget it." Tie Kui entered the barracks for half a year, because of his good temper, he got along very well with the people around him. Now that he said that, it was obvious that he didn't want to make an excuse.
Half a year later, Tie Kui was assigned to the forward battalion. In war, the vanguard battalion is always at the forefront. Every time there is a war, a group of people must die. Among the military camps, the vanguard battalion has the highest death rate, reaching 99% every year.
Telling Tie Kui the news, Wuchang He sighed and said, "If you had listened to me and served as General Song Shen's guard that day, you wouldn't have to go to the Qianfeng Camp."
Tie Kui frowned and said, "I've only been in the army for a year, how could I be assigned to the Qianfeng Battalion." This matter is strange.
The head of the corps said: "It's not that your performance is so good, that's why the superiors assigned you to the forward camp."
Tie Kui always felt that this matter was weird, but he, a low-level soldier, was unable to resist the decision of his superiors, so he could only report to the Qianfeng camp with his quilt in his arms.
Centurion Qiu Dashantou saw Tie Kui and asked with a dark face, "How old is this year?"
"Sixteen years old."
Qiu Dashan couldn't help scolding his mother: "You bastard surnamed Song, you don't care about human affairs." Such a young child came to the Qianfeng camp, so he was going to die.
Tie Kui understood,
It turned out that the surname Song got himself into the Qianfeng camp. It seems that the corps leader asked him to be Song Sihai's bodyguard that day because someone instigated him.
Strength is the most important thing in the army, and Tie Kui is only 1.76 meters tall, which is not bad in other places. However, Tie Kui looked particularly short in the group of tall and burly men in the forward camp. Coupled with his young age, some veterans wanted to bully him. For example, ask him to donate all the vegetables he eats, and ask him to wash clothes and make bedding, etc.
In fact, this is also a common practice. New recruits will always be bullied by some veterans when they come in. As long as you don't be too ruthless, the people above will turn a blind eye.
It's a pity that Tie Kui didn't accept this kind of trick and refused. The man wanted to teach him a lesson, but was beaten to the ground by Tie Kui instead.
The defeated veteran felt that he underestimated the enemy: "I didn't stand firm just now, come again."
As a result, the old soldier was beaten down by Tie Kui again. Now, everyone knew that Tie Kui really had two talents.
The veteran ruffian touched the corner of his red and swollen mouth and asked, "Have you practiced?" This kid is really serious.
Tie Kui nodded: "Our family is mountain people. My father taught me boxing when I was five years old, and went hunting with him when I was ten years old."
Knowing that Tie Kui practiced martial arts since he was a child, the people in the Qianfeng Camp did not dare to despise him anymore.
After integrating into the Qianfeng camp, he found that the people here are very generous, and there is no intrigue. After being accepted by these people, Tie Kui's life is not bad.
When it was time to pay the salary, three or five people yelled and went to drink. Also, run to the flower building to find a girl. Anyway, no one knows whether the next battle will survive, so they all spend all their money, and have no idea of saving money at all.
A veteran soldier named Ling Zhen saw Tie Kui put the silver in his pocket and said with a smile: "Boy, are you going to save the silver to marry a wife?"
Tie Kui smiled shyly.
Although nine times out of ten it is impossible to marry a daughter-in-law, it is always a good thing to have this idea. Therefore, Ling Zhen didn't hit Tie Kui either, but just smiled and said, "It's pretty good."
Going outside, spitting saliva can quickly condense into ice. But even in such severe cold weather, Tie Kui persisted in practicing exercises every day.
In June of the following year, when the Donghu people came to attack, Tie Kui went to battle with the others to kill the enemy.
Many people are not used to killing for the first time, but Tie Kui is not at all uncomfortable.
Seeing his normal expression, Ling Zhen smiled and said, "Yes, better than me. I vomited to death after the first murder." Of course, his first murder was not on the battlefield, but at home.
Tie Kui said: "In my eyes, they are not human beings, but a group of beasts in human skin." Therefore, he has no psychological burden to kill these people.
Ling Zhen hummed and said, "You're right. They're not human beings, but a group of animals." Seven years ago, more than 100,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of civilians died at the hands of those animals. Ling Zhen's family members died at the hands of Donghu people. At that time, he killed a Donghu ghost who wanted to bully his sister at home. The hateful thing is that all the food was robbed by Donghu ghost, and his sister starved to death in winter because there was no food.
Every time Ling Zhen talked about Donghu people, he would gnash his teeth. You don't need to ask Tie Kui to know that he must have a blood feud with Donghu people.
After entering the forward battalion, Tie Kui really realized why he said that everyone thought he was going to die when he joined the army. Every time a battle is over, there will be fewer familiar faces around.
For the first time, Tie Kui was very sad. Ling Zhen patted his shoulder and said: "Don't be sad, you have saved a lot of money, I will take you there tomorrow to open your eyes."
The eye-opening Ling Zhen mentioned was to take Tie Kui to Hua Lou. Seeing that Tie Kui didn't go in, Ling Zhen lowered his voice and said, "Boy, you can't just be a chicken all the time!"
Tie Kui firmly refused.
Ling Zhen also had good intentions, he was afraid that Tie Kui would remain a child until he died. But Tie Kui was unwilling, and he didn't force it: "Then you go back first!" After speaking, he went in.
Tie Kui didn't go back, but wandered around the city. I have been in Tongcheng for more than a year and a half, and I haven't visited the streets here.
I looked around and couldn't find anything to buy. When he reached the door of a medicine shop, Tie Kui thought for a while and went in.
After catching medicine for Tiehu for more than a year, he still knows the price of some common medicinal materials. Unexpectedly, the medicinal materials here are twice as expensive as those in their town. But no matter how expensive it is, it is not as expensive to buy medicine directly.
When Ling Zhen came back, he was satisfied, and when he entered the house, he saw that Tie Kui was tinkering with medicinal materials, and said, "Why do you buy medicinal materials? Could it be that you also know how to make medicine?"
Tie Kui hummed and said, "I only do some simple medicine for bruises."
"That's really powerful." If these medicines are really useful, his military salary will not be spent on buying medicines made by Tie Kui.
After a few days, Donghu people attacked again. Every time a war is fought, the Vanguard Battalion is always at the forefront, and this time is no exception. But the Donghu people who attacked this time are stronger than the previous few times. Most of Qianfengying was killed and injured, and Tie Kui was also injured and fell into a coma.
When I woke up, it was already night.
The night at the end of September has begun to get cold. And the wind on the grassland was so strong that Tie Kui couldn't help shivering when it blew on his body.
Tie Kui first smeared the wound with self-made medicine, and then bandaged it. After doing all this, he identified the direction back to the city. After walking a few steps, I heard a cry for help not far away.
It was also because the field was so quiet at this time that Tie Kui heard the slight voice.
Walking towards the place where the noise came from, Tie Kui found Qiu Dashan under the weight of two bodies.
Qiu Dashan was seriously injured and couldn't move, but he was still conscious. When he heard footsteps, he called for help.
After moving away the dead body on Qiu Dashan, Tie Kui asked softly, "Where is your worst injury? I have some wound medicine here, I will apply it to you."
Qiu Dashan was injured on his chest, but luckily he didn't hurt his vitals. Tie Kui finished administering the medicine to him, and asked, "Brother, can you hold on? If you can hold on, I'll carry you back. If you can't hold on, I'll go back and report to my superiors, and someone will come to save you again."
Qiu Dashan said in a mosquito-like voice, "I can hold on." After Tie Kui left, he might not survive tonight. Furthermore, even if Tie Kui reported the matter to the people above, no one would come to rescue him.
If you can't hold it, there is only one dead end.
Because it was dark, people's faces could not be seen clearly, and Qiu Dashan's voice also changed because of his weakness. Therefore, Tie Kui didn't know that it was his immediate superior who was going to save.
With injuries on his body and Qiu Dashan, who was heavier than himself, Tie Kui walked very slowly.
After walking for two hours, Tie Kui couldn't move anymore. When we reached a steep slope, Tie Kui said, "Let's rest here tonight!"
Qiu Dashan naturally had no objection.
Tie Kui found a bunch of dry grass and dead branches and came over, and soon a fire started.
With a fire, the night was easy enough.
Qiu Dashan was awakened by a burst of aroma, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Tie Kui roasting rabbits. Seeing the roasted golden rabbit dripping with oil, Qiu Dashan couldn't help swallowing. He has been hungry for a day and a night.
Tie Kui turned his head and saw Qiu Dashan staring at the roasted rabbit: "Centurion, this rabbit will take a while to heal." When he opened his eyes and saw someone this morning, he knew that he was saving his immediate boss .
"How did you hit the rabbit?" Tie Kui was injured and had no tools.
Tie Kui smiled and said: "The trap is set up, and the rabbit and pheasant are still easy to catch." After so many years in the mountains, he can trap pheasants and rabbits without a bow and arrow.
After a while, the rabbit was baked. Tie Kui gave him half, and then asked, "Can I eat it myself?"
Qiu Dashan said: "Yes."
After eating and drinking, Tie Kui carried Qiu Dashan on his back and continued on his way. The journey took more than half a day, and the two arrived after two days of walking. For the past two days, he relied on Tie Kui to find food and drink. Rabbit gopher snake, anyway, Tie Kui will not let go of it. Qiu Dashan would naturally not dislike him either.
Back in the army, the military doctor showed them their injuries. Tie Kui's injury was minor, but Qiu Dashan had many injuries. In particular, the chest was also injured, but fortunately, the lungs were not injured.
The military doctor said to Qiu Dashan, "It takes at least three months to get out of bed."
Qiu Dashan is naturally meaningless.
Qiu Dashan thought about Tie Kui's care for him today, so he asked him to stay and take care of himself.
Seeing Qiu Dashan's pale face, Tie Kui bought red dates, millet or eggs at a high price and cooked them for him. Of course, the money was paid by Qiu Dashan himself.
It was the first time to drink red date porridge made by Tie Kui, and Qiu Dashan was very surprised: "I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good." There are few men who can cook, and very few are good cooks.
Tie Kui laughed and said, "My father broke his leg four years ago. I took him to Shengjing to heal his leg. I often made porridge and soup for him. The more you do it, the more experience you will have."
Qiu Dashan smiled and said, "No wonder you are so good at taking care of people. By the way, how many brothers are you in?"
Hearing that Tie Kui was the only one, Qiu Dashan sighed and said, "How sad should your father be when you join the army?" He thought Tie Kui was forced to join the army. Generally, the only child, the family will try their best to escape military service.
Tie Kui hummed and said, "The doctor treated his leg, but he gritted his teeth and didn't utter a sound because of the pain. But when I came to Tongcheng, his eyes were red."
Now it is getting more and more difficult to recruit soldiers, even the only son is not spared. Thinking of this, Qiu Dashan couldn't help but sighed.
Under Tie Kui's meticulous care, Qiu Dashan got out of bed within a month. In three months, he was alive and well.
After recovering from the injury, Qiu Dashan asked Tie Kui, "Would you like to stay with me?" This meant that he wanted Tie Kui to be his bodyguard.
Tie Kui shook his head and said, "I want to go back to the army." Staying by Qiu Dashan's side also means going to the battlefield to fight. That being the case, it is better to return to the army. In this way, more freedom.
Seeing this, Qiu Dashan didn't force him.
After returning, Tie Kui was promoted to the rank of corps leader. Although he only cares about five people, it can be regarded as his starting point.
In the coming year, Tie Kui followed Qiu Dashan to fight against the enemy. This time, Tie Kui killed several Donghu people and was promoted to Shichang after returning home. But Qiu Dashan's position has not changed.
Tie Kui didn't understand, and asked: "Master, why did you kill so many enemies, why didn't you get promoted?" Qiu Dashan also killed many enemies last year, and the accumulation of these military achievements is enough for him to be promoted to a higher level.
Qiu Dashan didn't shy away either, and said: "Because I used to be the companion of the third young master of the Yan family. People from the Song family would suppress anyone who was related to the Yan family. They would like to kill people like me." Loyalty There are many people in the Yan family, if they are all killed, who will fight. Therefore, Tong Chunlin kept blocking him. But if it’s not clear, these people will come in the dark.
"My lord, I believe that the evil cannot prevail against the good. One day, Marshal Yan will be rehabilitated."
Qiu Dashan hummed and said, "Yes, evil does not overwhelm righteousness. One day the Yan family will be rehabilitated, and those treacherous officials of the Song family will die a terrible death.
