Fawn

In the fourth and fifth months of the Western calendar, Xiao Lu began to build an arsenal while intermittently recruiting troops.

Cheng Tingli has gathered tens of 10 people under his command, but there are not many decent arsenals, and guns and ammunition are always purchased.In the past, Cheng Tingli was weak, and the amount of ammunition he used was limited, so he never thought of self-sufficiency; If the small piece of Jiangshan monopolizes the operation for a long time, he has to look in the long run.

It was Cheng Shiteng's idea to let Xiaolu run an arsenal.Cheng Shiteng remembered that Xiao Lu had said since he was a child that he would go to Germany to learn mechanical knowledge, come back to be an engineer, and open a factory to start a business.The first half of this sentence has already been messed up by himself; the second half is still possible, after all, an arsenal is also a factory.

Cheng Tingli is not very interested in Xiaolu's ideals, but he is willing to allocate some money and people to Xiaolu to try to do it himself. If he succeeds, it is naturally good; if he fails, it doesn't matter, because there is no such thing in the army. It is normal to fail to do it without the technical foundation.Besides, Xiaolu is not alone in this matter. Several new arsenals in Chahar have already been built, and they are all vying to start construction first.

Xiaolu is very interested in the arsenal, especially since this arsenal is not a small workshop for making earthen guns and cannons, but a truly modern machine gun factory.In order to ensure the safety and secrecy of the arsenal, he set up the factory in a valley thirty miles away from the county seat.

There are no villages or shops behind this ravine, but as long as you are willing to walk a few steps forward and backward, you will have villages and shops, which is not considered desolate and remote.In addition, the scenery here is very beautiful, with lush flowers and plants everywhere, squirrels and rabbits in the small woods, wild boars are the most dangerous wild animals, and there are absolutely no wolves in spring, summer and autumn.Starting from the village in front of the ravine, there is a flat and wide official road leading directly to the county seat. It is very convenient to transport grain and people, and you can walk even if it is raining or windy.

Since Da Xiaolu was promoted to the head of the regiment, Wu Kui also took an official position and became the squad leader of the security squad.He is talkative, vicious and lustful, but he is also smart, brutal and ferocious. He is a person who can really do things.Xiao Lu always wanted to hang him up and give him a whip, but whenever he really wanted a whip, Wu Kui would run away with his head in his arms.It also takes guts to run like a mouse, and if the leader didn't say anything, who would dare to leave?Wu Kui dares.

A few hours later, when he tried to sneak back and came back, Xiaolu usually had calmed down and didn't bother to talk to him anymore.

Wu Kui is so rebellious and at the same time always loyal to him, so Xiaolu didn't take him with him when he went out of the city to set up a factory.Leaving Wu Kui in Donghezi County, he asked Wu Kui to be responsible for recruiting troops.

Wu Kui is nostalgic for the prosperity of the city, and is very willing; Zhang Chunsheng is more annoying to Wu Kui, so he is also very willing.Under such a happy situation, Xiaolu set off into the mountains with his soldiers and the technicians he hired from Shanxi.

Although the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, life in the mountains is far less comfortable than in the county town.Fortunately, the transportation is convenient. Soldiers drove the big carriages and brought bricks and tiles from the city day and night, but they quickly built rows of houses. Xiaolu likes to be clean, and he refuses to live in the newly built adobe houses because From time to time, live earthworms would protrude out of the adobe and fall onto his scalp or neckline without warning.

When the fawn comes to this mountain, it occasionally feels isolated from the world.He worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, and walked around the factory all day long, and soon his snow-white face was tanned to a wheat color.Zhang Chunsheng shaved his head every other week, making him look like he just ran out of a temple.

Zhang Chunsheng actually doesn't like to shave his head. His hair is black and fine, and it is good hair, which is very suitable for a small parted hair.Zhang Chunsheng sometimes imagines his appearance in suits and leather shoes separately, and in the end, he feels that such a group seat is really beautiful.

Fawn lived in the ravine for half a month, and gradually got a feel for the surrounding terrain, and because the days were getting warmer and longer, so after dinner, he added a new pastime—hunting.

He didn't run too far, and only took a few guards to drill the woods nearby.His marksmanship is good, his eyes are especially good, he almost never misses a shot, and he can bring back a few rabbits or a few birds every night.Zhang Chunsheng thinks his method is very good, and at the same time gloats, because if Wu Kui is present, he will be crazy with joy.For Wu Kui, hunting is no less fun than visiting brothels.

However, he had been gloating for a few days. One evening, Zhang Chunsheng was folding his military uniform in Xiaolu’s room, when he suddenly heard the noise of people outside the door.Seeing Zhang Chunsheng, the guard hurriedly yelled: "Adjutant Zhang, it's bad, the group seat was hit by a wild boar!"

Zhang Chunsheng was surprised, but he didn't know why: "Wild boar?"

The little deer struggled to get down to the ground with a disheveled face: "I'm fine, the wild boar is just strong, so it didn't hurt me."

Zhang Chunsheng bent down and took a look, only to see a tear in Xiao Lu's calf trousers leg. The cut was bloody, and it was obvious that the flesh inside was injured.With a heartbroken sigh, he asked the guards to send the deer into the room to sit down, and he followed in, looking for medicine for the wound.Just when he was in a hurry, another guard ran in panting - panting so hard that he could only speak in a few words: "The report... is here..." He stretched out his hand towards the door Pointing out: "Here we come..."

The little deer was almost kicked out of the woods by the big wild boar, so when he heard this, he immediately asked, "What's coming? The wild boar?"

The guard took several deep breaths one after another, and then managed to say the whole thing clearly: "Reporting to the regiment, it's not a wild boar, it's Captain He who is here."

Xiao Lu stared at the guard: "What is it, Commander He?"

The guard replied, "It's He Ruolong He, the head of the regiment in Hebei. He has brought a guard platoon and has already left the village."

From the "village" mentioned by the guards to the arsenal, the distance is only ten miles. The weather is dry and the road is flat. If you ride a horse, you can get there in a blink of an eye.Fawn stared at the guard dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded.
