Quick Wear: I Became the Savior of the Doomsday
Chapter 57 Joining the Army
Zhong Suhan was awakened by the cold. It was still daylight, obviously past dawn. Only a few charcoal flames remained of the blazing fire last night. She rubbed her eyes, yawned, and felt a little confused for a moment.
As the savior, she couldn't remember for a moment whether she should save the world or fill her stomach first, and she was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Ahan, are you awake?" Ming Qiu stretched and yawned, and conjured up a wheat cake for her. "You can eat it for now. This is the only thing I can get for you in this world."
Zhong Suhan expressed his understanding. It is better to have something to eat in this world than nothing to eat. After he was full, he stuffed Ming Qiu into his arms, and then walked towards the town under its guidance. At the entrance of the town, he found that they were recruiting soldiers there.
In the long team, many were young and strong boys. They were dressed in rags, and there was no joy of serving the country on their faces, only a fearlessness of facing death.
Zhong Suhan felt strange, and heard Ming Qiu say: "There have been too many wars. This town belongs to this country today, that country tomorrow, and who knows which country the day after tomorrow. Most of these children join the army because they want to have one last full meal before they die."
As it was talking, it suddenly had an idea, its eyes sparkled, "Ahan, why don't you join the army? They are in need of people right now, and they won't conduct too many checks on the new recruits."
"Then what? What happens after you join the army?" Zhong Suhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Climb up step by step with your military exploits, and then end war with war? Annex the surrounding small countries, defeat the big countries, and sign a peace treaty to end the chaos?"
Ming Qiu looked at himself and said, "Ahan, you are a genius." He tapped his head vigorously, his eyes shining brighter than before.
Zhong Suhan was even more amused and helpless, but this was also a solution. Looking back at the war-torn periods in history, which one did not end war with war and unification?
"There were more than a dozen countries. The First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, but that was only six kingdoms. Don't you think too highly of me?"
Having said that, she still walked to the end of the line. Everyone was wearing gray, tattered cotton robes. Their bodies were skinny and small, and their voices were not as sweet and moving as those of ordinary girls.
She was sure that she couldn't tell whether the other person was a man or a woman.
It was freezing cold, and we were registering for military service early in the morning. The registrant was extremely impatient. He just wrote down our place of origin, age and name, handed us a sign and called the next person. When it was Zhong Suhan's turn, he didn't even raise his head.
After registration, we went to the military doctor for a physical examination, mainly to check for infectious diseases and take our pulse. After a simple questioning, we were allowed to go and receive clothes and weapons, and then a military seal was branded on the back of our hands.
Ming Qiu wanted to use magic to offset Zhong Suhan's pain, but was rejected.
"If you can't even bear this little pain, how can you fight in a war?" Zhong Suhan smiled and handed his hand to the soldier holding the branding iron.
Soon the cold air was filled with the smell of burnt protein. She gritted her teeth and held on, suppressing the urge to pull her hand back, strangling all the cries of pain in her throat. The blood boiled and dripped down the back of her hand.
Her behavior made the soldier with the branding iron look at her a few more times, thinking that this little brother was really patient, while the ones in front of him who were older than him were crying for their parents in pain.
Finally, the white mist dissipated, and the soldering iron turned from a burnt orange color back to iron color, and this level was passed.
At this time, Zhong Suhan's forehead was covered with sweat from the pain, and her inner clothes were wet with sweat on her back. She staggered forward, trying not to block the people behind her. After finding a place to wait until the pain was less severe, she began to apply the external medicine and bandages she got from the military doctor.
Ming Qiu felt so distressed that he wanted to stick his head out to blow on her ears, but as soon as his ears were exposed, Zhong Suhan stuffed them back into his clothes, "Ah Han, let me see your wound."
"It's okay, just some flesh wounds."
The pain drained all the strength from her body. Ming Qiu was discovered at this moment, but she didn't even have the strength to get angry. She sat under a big tree and repeatedly checked the small sign. There was a Third Battalion engraved on the front of the sign, and military discipline was densely written on the back.
Before she could take a closer look, she heard someone calling her in the distance. She hurriedly ran forward with the distributed clothes and weapons, and found that the person calling her was a middle-aged man, and there were four other half-grown boys called over by him.
Seeing that they were all present, the middle-aged man introduced himself: "My name is Liang Jin, and I am your sergeant. You will follow me from now on. I will make it clear in advance that if anyone deserts, I will be the first to chop him off in exchange for military merit."
"In this era, five people form a squad. If one person in a squad deserts, the others will be implicated and have to serve two years of hard labor. If they don't want to serve, they have to exchange their military merits, that is, the heads of their enemies."
Ming Qiu whispered some military knowledge to Zhong Suhan.
"Because of this, everyone will supervise each other. In addition, in this world, it is a taboo for women to disguise themselves as men and enter the military camp, so you must be careful not to be discovered as a woman."
Zhong Suhan wrote down everything and followed the sergeant to the military camp. The camp was far away, so the time on the road was enough for everyone to get to know each other.
Zhang Daqian and Zhang Dazhuang are brothers. Tian Hui is from the same village as them. Their families can't afford to support them, so they want to work hard in the military camp while having enough food to eat, earn some military merits and make their families' lives better.
The other person was from the same town as Sergeant Liang Jin. His name was Shi Pian. He was a bit taciturn and didn't like to chat with people. He spoke no more than ten words along the way.
Zhong Suhan felt that this man was more like a girl than herself. When she heard Zhang Daqian asking her why she joined the army, she said nonchalantly, "Nothing much. All my family members died. I joined the army to make a living."
"Well, in this world, we are all miserable." Liang Jin patted Zhong Suhan on the shoulder as a consolation, "Eat more when you get to the military camp. You are too thin and you don't have much muscle. You won't be able to chop people on the battlefield."
He slapped her so hard that Zhong Suhan staggered and Ming Qiu in his arms accidentally fell out, exposed in front of everyone.
Liang Jin's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and grabbed Ming Qiu's rabbit ears and held them in his hand, "Okay, you actually hid a rabbit on your body."
"Captain, you can't eat this rabbit." Zhong Suhan reached out and took Mingqiu back. Hearing it cry out that its ears hurt, he quickly rubbed them. "I have raised this rabbit since it was little, and I have feelings for it."
"How can the feelings of animals compare to a delicious rabbit hotpot?"
Zhang Daqian stepped forward and wanted to grab Mingqiu in her arms, and Zhang Dazhuang stepped forward to assist.
Zhong Suhan had a hard time dealing with it for a while, so he could only fight back with all his might, kicking each of them away. He said coldly, "I've already told you this isn't food. If anyone wants to eat my rabbit again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
