Volume 8 Chapter 2

Lin Xi sat in the shade of the tree.

As early as in qingluan college, he knew that the personnel composition of the Yunqin border army was very complex. There were young soldiers with blood and ideals, prisoners in exile and Atonement, nobles who were in decline and wanted to regain family glory, poor people who hoped to change their lives through war achievements, and many children of some accompanying personnel who were originally serving the army at the border.

The extremely bad environment, the death of some partners and the constant threat of death will make many people who were originally rebellious and cold, and even bury in many people's hearts the psychological trauma that is hard to heal. Some soldiers even look like ordinary people, but actually they have very serious mental illness. The war priests of Yunqin, while walking and spreading their faith in the army, were also one of their main missions to treat the psychological problems of soldiers.

Tenacity, silence and pressure make it difficult for most of the border forces to communicate with others.

In this case, it is more difficult for them to trust and accept.

Lin Xi has fully realized the rebelliousness and inhumanity of the dragon and snake side army. He has been in the garrison of the yangjiantian mountain ranger for three days. But after three days, except for the food and water sent by the sergeant, no one paid any attention to him. Even the people in the army usually avoided his sight. He was completely isolated in the valley 。

At this moment, he sat under the shade of the rattan tree and looked at the mountain and the forest In the eyes of those black armour soldiers, I'm afraid he can only look at the mountains bored.

But Lin Xi's heart is very calm, there is no dissatisfaction.

This white mountain and black water, including the camp here, are totally a strange and novel world for him. It's impossible to be tired of watching it in a few days.

As early as on his way to China, he was shocked and amazed to see the towering towers, some artificial stone roads, and some stone walls and camp ruins left by the war in the huge barren dragon and snake mountains, just like the primeval forest, which was like walking into the long volume of magic epic. And the camp of the yangjiantian mountain Ranger even has the meaning of hobbit house in the movie.

The fence is made of thick logs, without any flags, but the totem of the Ranger is carved with stumps under many trees. A general with a knife and a skull face standing beside a long horned deer. A strong black army tent was covered with dry turf, which was the residence of these soldiers.

Because he is a traveler in this world, Qin Xiyue said it well He will not accept the glory that some ideas in the world impose on people's thoughts. If he doesn't want to come here to have a look, no one can force him to come here.

Because he is already a student of qingluan college, because many people in the world don't value what they value, and he doesn't care about other people's eyes and ideas.

He used the traveler's eyes to look at the land of mountains and rivers calmly.

A black armour Sergeant came over and bowed to Lin Xi, then put some food wrapped in big leaves in front of him.

"Thank you."

Lin Xi smiles and nods. The sergeant takes out two more cloth bags and hands them to Lin Xi.

"What is this?" Lin Xi saw that both bags seemed to be powdered with some kind of herbs.

The sergeant said with some Prudence: "the black one is snake powder. Many poisonous snakes don't like the smell, so they won't be bitten after daubing it. Gray is to prevent foot rot It's too hot and humid in dragon snake mountain. After applying the powder and baking it with fire every day, it won't work. However, these can't be used when marching near the marsh area outside the mountain. The nose of cave brutes is very smart, but they are easy to be attacked. "

"Thank you."

Lin Xi thanked the sergeant again.

The prim sergeant was not a few years older than him. He was very young. He had many pockmarks on his face. He was not tall. He was half a head shorter than Lin Xi. Because of Lin Xi's consideration, his face was a little tense.

"What's your name? Are you the children of the entourage of this side of Wubian?" Lin Xi put down the medicine bag, suddenly smiled, looked at him and asked.

The young sergeant with a pockmarked face hesitated a little, but he said in a restrained voice, "yes, sir, my name is Zhu Xun."

"Zhu Xun? It's a strange name. " Lin Xi smiled and said, "I have a friend named Tang Ke, who is from the same side army as you."

The young sergeant relaxed a little because of Lin Xi's words, but he didn't seem to be able to adapt to the conversation with Lin Xi, so he didn't answer for a while.

"I have no other intention." Lin Xi looked at the young sergeant and let him relax. "I just don't think you hate me as much as the person who sent me food before, so I'll talk to you more."

This is called Zhu Xun. The young sergeant with a strange name hesitated. After a while, he nodded and said, "I think you are a good man But Mr. Xin is also a good man. I hope you don't resent him. "

"Do you think I resent him?" Lin Xi smiled.

Zhu Xun looks at the smiling Lin Xi, unable to answer.

Because his intuition is that Lin Xi is not a villain, but everything about Lin Xi is a little hard for him to understand, just as others are abandoned here, how can they laugh like Lin Xi.

"I can understand general Xin and all of you very well. I'm really too young, and I don't know anything about the dragon and snake mountains. If I were general Xin, I would not be able to trust such a young and inexperienced official. Even if practitioners are rare, they must try to replace an experienced practitioner general. " Lin Xi looks at Zhu Xun, who is slightly stiff and doesn't know how to answer, and still smiles, "and the more he doesn't accept me, I can be sure that at least he doesn't want to hurt me So I like him very much. General Kang and you are also good. I'm afraid I'm not good for him It's easier for a general to convince his subordinates. It's more difficult to make them love and worry. "

"Adult..." Zhu Xun looks at Lin Xi gratefully, but still doesn't know what to say.

Lin Xi smiled and looked at Zhu Xun and said: "general Xin thought that I may have caused some dignitaries, but staying here will bring more troubles. It's his biggest concession to let me stay here, but he didn't think completely If there is really no danger here, how can you send me here if you can see the mountain and the water at ease? "

"If you want to make a person uneasy, you will surely send him to a place where you can have a good time?" Lin Xi points to the White Mountains and black waters in the distance, takes a deep breath, and says softly: "I'm afraid it won't be so peaceful here next It's because I like you that I stay. Because I stay here, at least I can help

Zhu xundai, because he was bitten by ants and insects in a certain night's ambush, left many stubborn spots on his face. He was just an ordinary sergeant who was not smart. He didn't understand the wind in some courtyards as well as Xin Weijie, but he increasingly felt that Lin Xi was not as bad as they thought in almost everyone's mind. He also understood Lin Xi Some of the meaning of.

Because it's about real life and death, Xin Weijie dare not take any risks. He will never change his view of Lin Xi because of some words of Lin Xi. So he will change his view of Lin Xi only when Lin Xi shows it to him.

So Lin Xi has to wait.

There is no resentment in Lin Xi's heart, so he will calmly face this isolation, look at the mountains, look at the water, look at the rain coming, and the wind filled the valley.

"What can I do for adults?" This ordinary young sergeant is not good at words and has no gorgeous words. He just bows to Lin Xi and asks at the same time.

"Are there any other practitioners here besides me?"

"No After the former general Wu was transferred, there was no practitioner transferred. It's said that some places in the north have suffered several major defeats, even ordinary soldiers can't make up for them. From the autumn of the previous year to the present, only 11 soldiers have been added to our yangjiantian mountain rangers. "

"How many of us are here now?"

"Fifty seven in all."

"Fifty seven?"

Lin Xi is stunned, then shakes his head in silence.

According to the composition of the border patrol, it should be between one hundred and three hundred, that is to say, an official rank like him should be at least one hundred soldiers. But this Ranger is only fifty-seven This only shows that this place is not a good place.

"Don't you, general Xin, offend anyone yourself?" Lin Xi can't help but say this with some self mockery.

"Not just here." Zhu Xun was not sure. He hesitated and said: "since this spring, all the troops in our area have been very tight, and the personnel have not been supplemented much."

"Was there any major war before?"

"We haven't had this spring yet, it's just the war of the previous autumn and last autumn A lot of people died. "

Since this spring, the cave man between the White Mountains and the black water has been moving more frequently than in the autumn and winter of previous years.

Although it's not clear why, Lin Xi knew this when he came here.

Lin Xi was silent for a moment, raised his head, looked at Zhu Xun carefully, and said: "if you really want to help me, help general Xin, can you do me a favor If you have any task, try to tell me in secret. "
