Autobiography of a beast

I am a human being, yes, an ordinary human being.Has its own name and characters.

My surname is Huo, my first name is Jiang, and my courtesy name is Anping.I think the origin of this name must have a lot to do with my father who has been stationed in the north all year round.

At this time, I did not become a general, nor did I meet Jing Huai, that is, the deer Shu.

At this time, I was just a young man who had just won the championship, so under the influence of my father, I took the initiative to join the army, and insisted on starting as a soldier without any special care.At that time, my father, who was the commander-in-chief of the first army, was very happy that I had this kind of awareness, and my bones were not worn away by the warm and fragrant nephrite, so he wanted to drink three hundred cups with me.In the end, he vomited himself up, and returned to the house with the help of his servants.

Speaking of which, it was a good time for me to join the army, and it was just when some countries in the north were restless and needed someone to beat them.Then, less than a year after I joined the army, I found an opportunity and went north with my father's army.

Before leaving, my mother packed a bunch of food and clothing for me and insisted that I take it with me on the road. My father disliked me for being so sticky and mother-in-law, but he didn't dare to make a sound when he was pulled by my mother.He just stroked his wife's shoulder and winked at me.

I have been "communicated" with my father for many years, and I immediately understood what he meant.

"You don't need to bring so many things, the army has them all, and it's not convenient to carry them on the road."

So he persuaded his mother to leave, and just took a piece of mung bean cake from a pile of things and stuffed it into his mouth, smiled at his mother, and got on the horse with his father.

My mother was so angry that she stomped her feet and insisted on someone throwing a bunch of things at me, so scared that I hurried out on the horse.

When I set off with my father, I agreed that I would no longer be his son from the moment I got on the horse.

Uh, of course it’s not because he treats me badly that he wants to sever the relationship, but what I said before is not just talking.Said to rely on their own hard work on their own.Already a man, I have no reason to backtrack.

I hid among a group of recruits and quickly became involved with them.

All of them were young, when they were in their prime, when they loved to make friends, and when they were laughing, they called each other brothers.

Along the way, I remembered that the fat and thin guy was called Li Xian, nicknamed Da Zhuang; well, he was quite strong.The tall, dark and skinny one was called Shi Shuangqiang, and he said we could call him the fifth child.He joined the army because he was the fifth eldest child at home, and because there were too many children in the family, and it was too difficult to support him; the other was a well-proportioned man with a basic foundation at first glance, called Xiuwen, which meant to listen more, read more, and learn more. ; but as soon as he speaks, he feels sorry for his parents, and the thought of naming is in vain.He spoke like an irritable old man, with a surprisingly loud voice, and he had to put a piece of cotton in front of him to listen to him, or his ears would ring.There are a few others here, so I won't list them one by one. In short, they are all young people who are easy to get along with.

Our first army trekked from Kyoto for nearly two months, and after eating pancakes for two months, we finally felt the station in the evening of one day.After taking a quick look at the surrounding environment, we immediately set off to set up camp. Because there were not so many places to live in the border city for a while, most of us set up military tents in the city.Fortunately, although the living place is simple, there is enough food and drink.

Chengli arranged good wine and good food to welcome us. After two months without a good meal, I finally felt back to the world.Facing the night sky and the bonfire, I felt extremely satisfied.

Although I have already trekked here with the army, after all, including the marching time, I have only joined the army for about a year.Although I have been practicing under the supervision of my father since I was a child, it is only on paper after all.The intensity of training in the military is much more intense than self-training at home, and I dare not relax for a moment.

After all, the harder you work now, the more chance you will survive on the battlefield.After several months like this, although the hands are getting rougher day by day, the muscles on the body are faintly undulating, which makes people proud.

The war won't start for a while, so we station our troops here, so we don't train without breathing all the time.Every five days, there will be a day of repair. During this time, a group of seven or eight of us will go out for a stroll to see the place where we are about to take root and work hard.

There is a mountain forest not far to the west outside the city, and you can see the lush greenery from a long distance away.

Da Zhuang said that there are a lot of mountain delicacies hidden in it.After being here for so many days, although the rations in the army are good, they can't satisfy his incomparably huge appetite. After thinking about this, he came up with the idea of ​​that mountain.Just taking advantage of another trimming, we couldn't help the temptation of the aroma he described, and he stepped into the forest for the first time.

This mountain is not very high, but it is deep and quiet.Occasionally, in the grass, a rabbit with its ears pricked up and carefully observing its surroundings can be seen.

Although there are many denser and quieter forests in this world than this one, somehow, this place makes me feel at ease.A word just appeared in my mind - aura overflowing.

A total of eight of us came together, and we brought all the arrows and bows we usually use for training, just to prepare for a real treat.

We are going to disperse our actions, and we will gather here to pack up after we each have something to gain.When I was discussing where to go, I always felt something was staring at me. I moved around vigilantly, and I spotted the deer hiding behind the tree with sharp eyes.

This thing... If it is a deer, I have never seen a deer with black and yellow patterns and red tails on a white background, but if it is not a deer, then there is no way to explain the two huge antlers on its head... Forget it , let’s call it a deer for now.

At this moment, I don't know that I will have such deep entanglements with him in the future, and I don't know that he will try his best to save me in the future.

So although it looks amazing, I have a hard heart.I didn't hesitate, I met such a plump little guy before I set off, so why not do it.

I quietly took out an arrow from the quiver behind me, quietly raised the bow, quietly put the arrow on the bow, quietly raised the bow and arrow that had been set up, aimed, and shot.

Whoosh, the arrow flew out.

I thought I would hit the target, but was blocked by the tree in front of the deer.

The arrow missed, and it did not surprise the little guy who thought he was hiding. For some reason, I always felt that he was looking down on me and spat at me before turning around and running gracefully opened.

...

Well, this is very spiritual.

"What. Did you hit something?" Da Zhuang next to him turned his head and asked me when he heard the sound of an arrow being stuck in a tree.

"No, the shot missed. Is everyone going somewhere?"

"Well, it's all divided up. One person and one side, we are sure to return with a full reward!"

"Okay, let's go." In this way, each of us "parted ways" in one direction.

After wandering in the forest for a while, the little guys in the forest are very clever.Not afraid of people, but it will not let you succeed easily.one look

There are often people who come to hunt on this mountain.

I walked around and found no animals that could be hunted. Just as I was thinking about going a little deeper, the scene at the small mound in front of me attracted me.

It was the deer just now!

But at this moment, it no longer has the agile posture just now, it just lies quietly in the middle of the mound and closes its eyes to rest.The noon sun hit his white fur through layers of forest leaves, giving the whole deer a soft halo.

Like a scene that only appears in a dream.

It lies there quietly.From time to time, there was the sound of the wind piercing through the leaves and the shrill cries of unknown insects in the grass.

I felt my heart beating wildly.There's no way to take my eyes off him, and I don't want to look away.

Just staring at the deer in a daze like this for a while, maybe being stared at like this made it feel something, the next second it opened its eyes without warning and looked towards me.

At that moment, it looked like a person.I can't help but be surprised.Just like that, he lost his mind again in a daze.

The deer on the opposite side seemed impatient, and was about to stand up on its hind legs.I hurried back to my senses, gave it a friendly smile, and even wanted to raise my hand to say hello, but suddenly found that I was holding a "weapon" to shoot it!

So he frantically put away the bow and arrow again, turned around and walked away hastily, without even having time to look at it again.

As he turned around, his heart beat faster.

I define this situation as a guilty conscience after being caught doing bad things.But it was a deer, not a human being, so I was puzzled as to why I had such a feeling.

After saying goodbye to the deer, he wandered around the forest for about two hours, shot a few hares, and then returned to the agreed place.

Everyone has gained a lot. Although the animals in the forest are very vigilant, we have practiced it after all, so it is not a problem if we want to hunt some wild game.So everyone came back with something in their hands.

We simply cleaned up the prey we had caught, sprinkled the salt we brought in advance, and just put it on the fire to roast.

The tested meat mushrooms are spitting out, the whole skin is roasted and browned, exuding the aroma of barbecue.The fragrance overflowed, and drilled into everyone's nose along the breath, irritating the stomach that hadn't gained anything for most of the day.I heard the stomachs of people around me protesting.

None of us were polite, we quickly divided up the food we had tested, and ate around the extinguished fire regardless of our image.

Hmm~ Comfortable~ It’s been a long time since I ate meat so happily.It's a pity that alcohol is banned in the army. Otherwise, this sip of wine and a sip of meat would be a god of competition!

Speaking of gods, that deer looks really handsome... Could it be that the mount of a god is not willing to be ridden down?

Thinking of this, he actually laughed out loud.

When asked by the people around me what funny thing I thought of, I just said that I had a dream and that's all.

It was indeed a dream, and a very beautiful one at that.

"It's broad daylight, what are you dreaming about..."

I ignored their laughter and recalled the dreamy beauty.

After we finished eating, we cleaned up the scene and completely extinguished the fire. To be on the safe side, we covered it with a layer of sand to prevent it from re-igniting. up the mountain.

Every day after that is almost the same content, training, eating, and sleeping.Train, eat, sleep.training, eating, sleeping...

It's just that after we tasted the sweetness last time, we would go to the mountains to improve our food every now and then.Every time I go, I can’t help but think of the scene I saw that day, always thinking that maybe there will be a chance to see you again, if you are lucky enough to see you again, you must not empty-handed, you must bring something just in case .

After thinking about it for a long time, I remembered the mung bean cake that my mother used to make when I was at home. It tasted sweet and sweet, and it was made of mung beans. I somehow felt that it matched its fur very well. That little thing would like it.So every time I go, I will prepare some mung bean cakes, and I am always ready for a possible goodbye.But several times in a row, they have never met again.This makes me a little disappointed.

Today is another day off.

As usual, I went to a shop on the street to buy some mung bean cakes, put them in my arms, and went up the mountain with the big guys.Then he hunted the food with ease, and sat around with everyone to bake.Listen to the people around you talking about interesting things that happened during training, and laugh at them from time to time.Gradually, I also forgot the boredom in my heart.

They are all teenagers, and they are at their most arrogant and frivolous.As we chatted, we talked about the inevitable war in the future.

"It's been almost a year since I've been here, and I'm really itchy. I don't know what the real battlefield is like. I've been listening to old people talking about how dangerous the battlefield is, and the more I hear it, the more excited I get!" Zhuang rubbed his hands, his eyes were bright, he didn't know whether he was greedy by the meat in front of him or infected by his own imagination.

"Hey, it's better not to fight or not to fight. People will inevitably die when we go to the battlefield. At that time, we don't know whether we can come back alive, whether we can chat and barbecue together like now..."

"Shuang Qiang, can you stop being so sad! Seeing that we usually practiced no less than others but worked very hard, even if we went to the battlefield, it shouldn't be us who died, it should be the enemy!" Seeing him so pessimistic, the irritable old man couldn't help but Anxious to comfort him, he raised his hand and patted the thin Shuang Qiang's back as if he was afraid that his central thought would not be expressed properly.

Although several months of exercise have allowed him to grow some muscles, but after all, his physique is there, no matter how much he exercises, he will only be that thin and bony. In the end, he still can't help the brother's body and verbal stimulation, and he almost staggered when he was photographed. I got into the fire, but fortunately Da Zhuang helped me in time, otherwise I wouldn't have to eat meat tonight, and I would be full by eating charcoal grilled old five.

Seeing this, not only no one around him sympathized with him, but a burst of laughter broke out.

Shuang Qiang was taken aback for a moment, and then he couldn't hold back and laughed along with everyone.

I have not expressed my opinion on this topic.

My own reason for joining the military is simple.I imagined my father to be a mighty general who would scare the enemy and make my mother, family and friends live a stable life.Never have to worry about the flames of war and displacement.This is what I want.Of course, if you protect the small family, of course you will also protect everyone by the way.It's just that I didn't have any special lofty ideals since I was a child.My father and mother only wished for me to be safe and happy, and they didn't press my head to instill in me the principles of protecting my family and the country. As long as my wishes do not exceed the rules, they will not interfere.So, even though my starting point seemed unorthodox, they didn't force me to correct anything.

At this moment, looking at the lively smiling faces of the people in front of me, I felt even more determined.I think this is what I want to protect.

While I was thinking about these things.The deer finally reappeared.

It is as lively and playful as ever, and it is looking at us with a little doubt at this moment.The little expression is very gratifying, and I can't help laughing.

Looking at the people around, everyone was still discussing life in the army enthusiastically. Seeing that no one noticed it, I got up and patted the dirt on my body, and walked towards it.

This little thing is still not afraid of people as always. Seeing me approaching, he didn't run away. Instead, he raised his head, showing a little provocation.Didn't care that I was a man, and a man roasting venison.

Maybe it sensed the "flattery" from him who I wanted to get close to, and just waited for me to approach without moving.

After walking a few steps, I suddenly remembered that I still had mung bean cakes in my arms that were always prepared for him.

So he dug into his bosom, took out the squeezed piece of mung bean cake with some crumbs, shook the remaining crumbs, then unwrapped the paper wrapping the pastry, held it in the palm of his hand, and put it on the little guy. Handed over.

At first it seemed to be vigilant and sniffed, and after confirming that there was no danger, it stretched out its small pink tongue and licked the pastry.I was finally attracted by the sweet mung bean cake, put down all guards, and concentrated on eating the cake with my hands.

My palms were itchy by the hot breath it exhaled, but I was afraid of frightening it, and forced it out of the guard it had put down so hard, so I resisted not moving that hand.But he raised his other hand and touched his head.He called the deer in a low voice.

Well, it feels good and slippery, just as I imagined.

He even took the initiative to push my palm, which made me overjoyed.But the good times didn't last long, the deer turned his face too fast, one second he was obediently Ren Lu, the next second he suddenly raised his head and stared at me in horror, then turned around and ran away in a hurry.Looking at his twitching, air-jumping ass, I was bewildered.

But that's all, I made a friend with it today.This realization made me feel uplifted for several days.

The training in the army is going on step by step.

It's just that a few times of wild hunting let me know that my riding and shooting skills need to be improved, so I practice harder.I heard from my father that the recent north is becoming less and less peaceful, and I am afraid that war will start soon.

His words made me look forward to what was about to happen, and at the same time, slightly worried.

But there is also good news.After a few times of contact, Xiaolu seemed to have completely let go of his guard against me.Seeing how happy he was eating that time, he probably likes these rustling and sweet pastries.So every time I go up the mountain, I will bring it a few mung bean cakes.Sometimes everyone is together and sometimes I am alone, but no matter what, the pastries are still brought.

The more we get along, the more I feel that this little guy is not an ordinary deer.He seems to understand me, although he won't tell me that I understand, but somehow, I just know he understands, just like the first time I saw him, he gave me a strange feeling , probably because he is not like an animal, but like a person.

Sometimes he would give me an impatient look when I chatted one-sidedly with him, and sometimes he ignored me as if he was too lazy to perfuse me, just curled up next to me and slept, and was indifferent to what he said.

I like to talk to it, talking about my past in Kyoto, talking about the brothers around me now, talking about my expectations and worries about the future, talking about my ideals and vows... Anyway, no one will answer me, I just take it as an expression Impressed.

"Okay, today's complaints are over!" I patted the little guy's head skillfully, got up and looked at the sinking sun, stretched my waist and prepared to go down the mountain.

Halfway through the stretch, I remembered that I seemed to have forgotten a very important thing and didn't tell Xiaolu.

"By the way, Xiaolu, there may be a battle to be fought in the north in a few days. After preparing for so many days, I can finally show my fists and feet. I can't wait! But the start of the fight, plus the round-trip schedule, is estimated. I won't be able to see you for a few months, so don't miss me too much."

After I finished speaking, I couldn't help but patted its head again, took a deep breath of the air mixed with vegetation in the forest, and immediately felt much more at ease.

Then he went down the mountain without looking back.

I don't know if it was my illusion, but the moment I turned around, I seemed to see the sadness flashing in Xiao Lu's eyes.Why are you so sad?Is it me?

Because of this uncertainty, I looked back again, only to see that the deer curled up into a ball and went to sleep again.Looking at it this way, a small group, huddled in a corner of the mountain forest, unintentionally felt a little lonely and desolate.

I shook my head, shook the messy thoughts out of my head, and headed down the hill.

We received the war notice two days later.It is said that he will leave the city and go north in three days.The day before our departure, we were given a vacation, allowing us to polish our weapons, take a good rest, and go to battle in the best condition to kill the enemy and give the enemy a head-on blow.

My father came to see me the night before my departure. Since I came here, we have rarely seen each other according to the original agreement.

My father told me Jiang'er, don't be afraid, Huo Jiaerlang, has always been brave and good at fighting.After I finish this first game, take me to have a drink.

I explained that it was you who wanted to drink by yourself.

Then we both looked at each other and laughed.

I knew what he was coming for, so I told him bluntly that I was not afraid.I am Haoerlang from the Huo family.When the fight is over, I treat him to a drink.
