What to do if you have too many golden fingers? Walk sideways!

West Garden.

"Knock knock." Gu Xi was awakened by the knock on the door.

She looked at the sky and it was just getting light.

"Xier." Qi's voice came from outside the door.

Gu Xi opened the door, looked at Qi, whose eyes were red and swollen, and asked:

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Qi walked in, closed the door, and then excitedly said to Gu Xi:

"Xi'er, your father came to me in a dream."

Gu Xi pretended to know nothing and said in surprise:

"Mom, you saw dad too, right?"

Qi nodded solemnly.

"It's pretty much the same as what you said. Your father wants you to join the army."

It seems that Qi believed in last night's video.

Gu Xi secretly gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, I am such a smart guy.

"So, don't worry, mom. I have the blessing of my grandfather and dad, so I will be fine."

"But the barracks are full of men, and you..." Qi was still worried.

"Don't worry, mother. You've seen my disguise skills. I guarantee that no one will recognize her. Mulan served in the army for twelve years, and none of her comrades recognized her as a woman." Gu Xi interrupted Qi and comforted her.

"Who is Hua Mulan?" Qi wondered.

Well, this world is different from the world I live in. There is no Mulan in their history.

"It's from the picture book I read before. Hua Mulan is a female general."

Fearing gossip, Qi and Gu Xi decided not to keep the matter of joining the army a secret from other family members.

Tell them that Gu Xi has to go out for business and can only come home occasionally.

If Gu Xi comes back as a man one day, he will lie and claim to be Qi's distant nephew.

Gu Xi wanted to give himself a mighty and domineering name, such as Long Aotian, Yang Bashi, etc.

Later I thought about it and decided that since my surname is Qi like my mother's, I might as well name him Qi Dasheng.

It means the Monkey King.

Just by looking at her name, you can tell that she wants to go to the military camp and do something big, and it's possible that she will turn the world upside down.

If she wants hot weapons, she needs reputation points. How can she get reputation points if she doesn't go to the military camp and stand out and show off?

Nanny Yun and Aunt Lian were equally surprised and worried about Gu Xi's long journey.

But thinking of the eldest daughter's abilities, this family can only rely on her.

The three little ones' eyes were full of admiration.

Gu Yuan said like a little adult:

"Don't worry, elder sister. I'm at home. I will take good care of mother."

Gu Ping hit him: "What can you do? Take care of mother. Your elder sister is gone. I am the eldest in the family from now on. I will take care of you."

Gu Ying has also been quite lively recently, and she also spoke up:

"Well, there's me too. I'll help Sister Ping with the work."

Looking at the three little ones who had become ruddy and chubby due to the food she had given them recently, Gu Xi pinched their faces one by one and said:

"Okay! I will come home to see you often."

Afterwards, Gu Xi followed Qi back to the room, took out two hundred taels of silver and gave it to her, saying:

"Mother, you should buy a shop in the next two days. I know a craftsman who makes jewelry. The jewelry he makes is of good quality and low price. I have asked him to make a batch of jewelry for us to try selling. When the shop makes money in the future, plus my salary, our lives will get better and better."

Although Gu Xi can support the family on his own, it is not good for Qi and the others to stay at home idle all the time. Going out to do something can not only support the family, but also avoid having to stay at home and have random thoughts.

In this world, everything is done by hand, so items are more expensive.

For example, a wooden comb with carved patterns costs fifty or sixty cents here.

The products she wholesaled from Alibaba were cheap because of the use of modern technology and mass production by machines, with the average price being no more than five yuan. But when she resold them here, she could get ten times the price, which was already a huge profit.

Qi took the silver and agreed to Gu Xi's request, thinking to herself that she would work hard to learn how to do business in the future and try not to hold Xi'er back.

After finishing his housework, Gu Xi left with a heavy bag on his back, amidst the reluctant looks of his family.

The bag was full of luggage packed for her by Qi and others.

After walking away, she found a secluded place, dressed herself up as a black-faced young man, then hired a carriage and headed for the military camp in the north of the city.

She couldn't get the SUV out and drive it in broad daylight, and the journey was too far.

As for horse riding skills, the system will only teach her after she successfully joins the army.

When he arrived at the military camp and explained his purpose, the soldier on duty at the gate took him to the parade ground.

At this moment, the training time had passed and there were not many people on the training ground. The soldier on duty brought Gu Xi to a sturdy man.

"Sir, this little brother said he wants to join the army."

In the military camp, a centurion is called a colonel and a thousand-man commander is called a captain.

The captain's name was Yang Da.

Because there has been no large-scale conscription recently, the conscription office had been withdrawn long ago. Yang Da took on the work of the conscription office and was responsible for assessing those who occasionally came to join the army.

He looked Gu Xi up and down.

Thin and not strong enough.

"You want to join the army?"

Gu Xi replied firmly:

"Yes!"

Yang Da asked:

"What are you capable of? Show me."

Gu Xi put down his bag and performed a set of punches in a methodical manner.

Although her first-level fighting skills could not defeat the captain in front of her, she was definitely stronger than ordinary soldiers.

Yang Da nodded and asked:

"Not bad, you can tell you've practiced Kung Fu. What's your name? Why did you join the army?"

Gu Xi said what he had thought of long ago:

"Master Duwei, my name is Qi Dasheng. My parents are gone, so I came to Dingxi County to live with my aunt. But as a man, I can't always rely on my aunt for support, so I joined the army to earn some money and have a meal."

Yang Da laughed:

"You are a very honest boy. This name is also very good. Okay, you can stay."

If Gu Xi said something like serving the motherland, Yang Da would think it was hypocritical.

In this era, having nowhere else to turn and having to make a living is actually the reality for many people who join the army.

Yang Da asked someone to call a sergeant and said:

"Captain Zhao, this little brother named Qi Dasheng will follow you from now on."

Sergeant Zhao nodded in agreement and was about to take Gu Xi away when Gu Xi suddenly said:

"Sir Captain, I heard there is a rule in the military camp that if you defeat the sergeant, you can take his place. Can I try?"

Sergeant Zhao's face darkened.

This boy is so bold that he wants to challenge the sergeant on his first day?

See how he deals with him later!

Yang Da was quite free today, and seeing how brave this boy was, he said:

"There is such a rule. Do you want to challenge him?" Yang Da pointed at Sergeant Zhao.

Sergeant Zhao is half a head taller than Gu Xi, and he also knows some kung fu.

Gu Xi nodded firmly.

"Okay! A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, so you two can have a fight."

After Yang Da finished speaking, he came to the martial arts stage in the middle of the parade ground. A soldier brought a chair and he sat down, ready to watch the fun.
