The best among men

Zhuang Wanquan calls these three people the "Two Five Seven" group. That's all. She is quite interested in Bai Qilang.

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

Some girlishness.

There are many men in the family, so naturally some of them have to serve in the military. His second brother had died in the war before, and his family was the first to bear the brunt of the conscription. Several other brothers have already married and need to support their families. He is the only one who is single and weak.

Those who cannot be carried on the shoulders or lifted by the hands are most useless at home, so they are sent to join the army.

Zhuang Wan looked at Bai Qilang, who was doing embroidery seriously, and couldn't help but feel sympathy. If his parents had not raised him as a daughter since he was a child, he would still be an upright man now.

Bai Qilang didn't show any disgust when Chen Wujin talked about his life experience. There must be many people who knew about it. Besides, anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that he lacked Qi and was overly feminine.

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

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

"Businessman? What kind of business do you do?"

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

257: "..."

"No business can be done now!" Chen Wujin said, "It would be great if we could go back with everything we have."

"This is not easy!" Laiji answered: "Let's just pretend to be dead when we go to the battlefield!"

Zhuang Wan looked at him with admiration and wanted to say, "Heroes think alike."

"Being greedy for life and afraid of death!" Bai Qilang said, "You are not a seven-foot-tall man!"

Laiji couldn't help but shouted: "Hey, Bai, don't make sarcastic remarks there!"

"Stop talking!" Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Chen Wujin quickly pulled Lai Er away. When he turned around and saw Zhuang Wan preparing to spread the quilt, he said, "I'll help you!"

"No, I can do that!" Zhuang Wan thought to herself that the real person is not what he looks like, and Chen Wujin looks fierce, but he is actually an upright and enthusiastic person.

Bai Qilang put down his needle and thread, "I'll do it! You're clumsy."

"No need!" Zhuang Wan wanted to say that her hands were not useless.

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

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

Yan Cheng glanced at "257", walked over with a cold face, and pulled the quilt that Bai Qilang was holding in his hands.

"..."

Bai Qilang looked at the man in front of him who was a head taller than him and stood aside blankly. Although he was raised as a daughter, his stature was the same as that of an ordinary man. He had never done any menial work. He was fair and handsome and could go out well.

Being teased by a girl.

When he saw Zhuang Wan just now, he already felt that she was prettier than him, but she was shorter, so he didn't take it to heart. But the man in front of him was not only handsome, but also tall and straight, full of masculinity. He had never seen her before.

Having seen such an extraordinary person, I instantly feel ashamed of myself.

"This brother must have been arrested too!" Chen Wujin said with regret: "Looking at my brother's demeanor, it would be a pity to join the army!"

Yan Cheng didn't answer.

"You..." Laiji squinted his eyes and looked carefully, then said, "Aren't you the one selling chicken coops?"

Yan Cheng said nothing and spread Zhuang Wan's bedding as if no one else was watching. Seeing that the adjacent bunk was already occupied, he pointed at the messy bedding and asked, "Whose is this?"

Laiji glanced at it and said, "My, what's wrong?"

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

Laiji was unconvinced and said: "You can move it as you say, why?"

Yan Cheng looked at him sideways, with a kind of shocking cruelty. Lai Er was frightened by that look, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look directly. Zhuang Wan quickly smoothed things over: "That's right, we are from the same hometown, so we have a life together.

Take care of.”

"That's it!" Chen Wujin said to Lai Er: "Lai Er, move away quickly!"

Laiji picked up his quilt and muttered: "Just move it, what's the big deal."

Yan Cheng then spread his quilt next to Zhuang Wan.

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

Yan Cheng replied: "Money can make the world go round!"

"Oh..." Zhuang Wan nodded. She had forgotten that she was now a rich person with a fortune of ten taels.

Laiji was still mumbling something, but he didn't dare to raise his voice. He was a beggar, the lowest status in the house, and he was thin and timid by nature. Except for talking nonsense with Bai Qilang, no one else was there.

You can't afford to offend him. Although Yan Cheng doesn't look as strong as Chen Wujin, he is taller than him. Dealing with him is not like carrying a chicken.

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

"Old beggar, why are you here too?"

The stooped, gray-haired old man at the door looked timidly at the people in the room. He relaxed a little when he heard Laiji calling him.

"Raiji, are you here too?"

Laiji instantly felt that there was someone with a lower status than himself in this barracks, and enthusiastically welcomed the old man in, "Come on, sit down quickly!"

Chen Wujin said: "This government is so inhumane, and the old man was arrested too."

The old man sighed: "When the official arrested the beggar, I ran a step slower and was caught. I said that I was old and useless, but the official said that since I could still run, I could go to the battlefield and forced me to join him.

Let’s go!”

Zhuang Wan looked at the house, which was filled with old people, weak people, men who were not men, women who were not women...

Tsk, except for Yan Cheng, everyone on this battlefield is cannon fodder.

I couldn't help cursing: "This government is so ridiculous! It's clear that they just want people to die."

Yan Chengdao said: "If the government wants to complete the recruitment of soldiers, even if it does not require forced recruitment, it will first send beggars, homeless people and idle men in the city into the army. This can not only replenish the army but also maintain public order in the city."

"This brother is right!" Chen Wujin said enthusiastically: "We are destined to meet together. I dare to ask my brother's name."

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

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

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

"Oh..." Everyone expressed their understanding. After all, people with such a temperament are a bit arrogant (unpleasant).

Zhuang Wan was also relieved. Although these people came from different classes, they were still kind people and Yan Cheng would not be bullied.

What she fears most now is that he will be stimulated again. Although the villain's darkening does not happen overnight, the harm to him from the outside world is definitely a catalyst.

There were three meals a day in the military camp, but only the Pingnan Army, a direct unit of King Qi, had meaty food in its meals. The recruits only ate vegetarian food such as steamed buns and pancakes.

Zhuang Wan, who had been eating simple meals for several days, really had no appetite, but she had to eat. The military camp was no different than outside, and every day was a physical training exercise for the devil.

"These steamed buns are so delicious!" Laiji had already eaten five of them in one go. The old beggar sitting next to him wolfed down: "I can finally have a full meal!"

"You are always worried about choking, don't worry, we have enough to take care of here!" Chen Wujin advised him.

After Lao Ming struggled to swallow the food in his mouth, he said, "I'm used to it now. If I didn't finish the good things quickly, I would be robbed."

Bai Qilang smiled and said: "I think you can run and eat, maybe you can even perform meritorious service on the battlefield!"

"Stop making fun of me, old man!" The old beggar looked at Yan Cheng and said, "Although I, the old beggar, have no ability, I have met countless people in the past few decades of my life. I look at Mr. Li as a

If you are a dragon or a phoenix among men, you will definitely achieve great achievements in heaven one day."
