Chapter 488 I Don’t Want to Go Home

Gu Fei had a bad feeling in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Third brother, we can go home too."

Gu Sanlang looked at Gu Fei steadily, and slowly shook his head, "Xiao Fei, I don't want to go home."

"I came out to join the army to kill the enemy and make achievements, and to bring honor to my family!"

"I can't go back like this!"

Gu Fei was anxious, "Third brother, are you stupid? You have only been a soldier for a short time, and you almost lost your life. Don't you want to think about your parents?"

"A few days ago, my family received the notice of your death. My mother's eyes were swollen from crying, and even Xiaocao cried for a few days. Can you bear it?"

Gu Sanlang lowered his head, and slowly raised his head for a long time, with tears in his eyes, "I don't want to make my parents worry, but there is no way. I am a man, I should make achievements and protect my family."

"I, I still have to go back to the barracks!"

Gu Fei was furious, "You——"

Although Chen Ping and Wang Laoer next to him didn't say anything, they also agreed in their hearts.

Although they had no choice but to join the army, since they had already joined, who would want to go back in such a disgrace?

Especially since they had been here for two or three years, they had also seen that some of the people who had served with them at the beginning had been promoted to captains and others to the ninth rank because of their bravery in killing the enemy.

We are all human beings, who doesn't want to be a superior person?

At this time, Wu Qiang sighed, "Sanlang, don't be silly, go back with your sister. We were able to escape this time, but we may not be so lucky next time. If we stay in the barracks, we may die one day."

He paused, "I wish I could go back, marry a wife and live a good life."

Gu Sanlang just shook his head and said nothing. Everyone has their own ambitions, and no one can convince anyone.

Seeing Gu Fei biting her lips and her eyes red, Xiao Yu felt so distressed. After thinking for a while, he walked over to Gu Sanlang and said, "You want to be a soldier. It's not wrong to want to make achievements, but you don't have to be here."

"If you are willing, when you return to Donghai County, I will let you join the Black Armor Army, and you can still make achievements."

Gu Sanlang looked at Xiao Yu and hesitated, "But--"

Xiao Yu waved his hand, "Don't worry, I won't take special care of you just because of your sister. The Black Armor Army has strict discipline and promotions are based on military merit. I won't be partial."

He looked at Gu Sanlang and added, "Joining the Black Armor Army is close to home. You can go home at least once or twice a year. Isn't it much better than being here?"

After hearing this, Gu Sanlang bowed to Xiao Yu without hesitation, "In this case, thank you very much-thank you, young master."

Gu Fei felt better. Although joining the Black Armor Army often kills Japanese pirates and is very dangerous, it is much better than this southern Xinjiang.

Besides, it is close to home, and parents can often see Sanlang.

Xiao Yu smiled, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go back to Mengmao first, and then leave tomorrow."

Everyone got on the horse.

Chen Ping and Wang Laoer exchanged glances frequently along the way.

The two also had many ideas in their minds. They wanted to go back, but also wanted to make a name for themselves and return home in glory.

More than an hour later, it was dark, and everyone finally arrived in Mengmao and found an inn to settle down.

After dinner, Pocai bowed and was about to leave. Xiao Yu stopped him, "Wait a minute, take a letter to General Fuyuan for me."

Xiao Yu went back to his room to write a letter, explained the matter, and came out to give the letter to Pocai.

Shitou stuffed a fifty-liang silver ingot over, "You have been running with us for these few days, and you have worked hard. A little gift for brothers to drink tea."

Pocai smiled and said goodbye.
