Chapter 696: My Butler's Mother-in-law
Wen Shi still wanted to persuade again, but when he looked at Ning Ru'an's firm eyes, he suddenly had no idea of persuasion, he knew that Ning Ru'an had made up his mind.
After a stick of incense, the large army was ready to go, and although the 10,000 conscripts stood crookedly, they all woke up.
Turning over the horse, Wen Shi raised his big hand, and he said coldly: "The garrison will ride my horse forward, and the infantry will run for me, and I am not allowed to leave the team, if someone does not follow to the next rest place in time, then I will run an extra kilometer when I rest." ”
"Go ahead." As soon as Wen Shi let go of his big hand, the army moved forward, and he rode out quickly, leaving the cavalry behind him five hundred meters behind.
Wen Shi rode a horse and ran fast, and the people behind him didn't catch up for a long time, but unexpectedly, there was a person next to him who followed closely on a black horse, this person was Ning Ru'an, she had been by Wen Shi's side and had never fallen behind.
After riding a horse for an hour, Ning Ru'an and Wen Shi actually left the large army without a trace, and seeing that the large army did not keep up for a long time, Wen Shi gradually slowed down.
The horses are walking forward leisurely, and by the way, you can eat a few mouthfuls of grass, which is also delicious.
As I walked, I saw a large open space in front of me, which was a good place to rest for the army, after all, it had been more than an hour, and it was time for the army to rest and have breakfast.
"Wen Shi, this place in front is very good, why don't you stop for breakfast." Ning Ru'an asked to herself, and before Wen Shi could respond, she turned over and dismounted, tied the black horse to the side, she directly opened the burden to find food, she was already hungry, and she had to eat.
Looking at Ning Ru'an's appearance that he had to eat, Wen Shi could only shake his head helplessly.
Tethering the horse to the side, Wen Shi walked directly to Ning Ru'an, seeing that Ning Ru'an hadn't found the fire fold for a long time, he turned around in a hurry, he shook his head helplessly, and then took out the fire fold from his arms to help Ning Ru'an ignite the branch.
Ning Ru'an was like magic, took out all kinds of pastries from the small-looking baggage, as well as the meat buns with thin skin and big filling, put them on one by one with branches, and then put them next to the fire to slowly roast them.
Just when the food was hot and Ning Ru'an was about to start eating, there was the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, followed by the five thousand garrisons led by Wen Shi, as well as the conscripts who ran out of shape.
The original 10,000 people, at this time, there were only seven or eight thousand people who hurried over, and the rest were far behind.
Without receiving the hot buns handed over by Ning Ru'an, Wen Shi got up slowly, he walked directly to the garrison, and he said coldly: "Rest in place for half an hour, those who arrive in time can open fire and have breakfast, and those who haven't caught up yet, directly give two full steamed buns and some water, let them continue to run, and they can rest after running an extra thousand meters." ”
"Luo Peng, you send someone to watch them, and they are not allowed to rest if they don't run." Wen Shi commanded coldly.
That Luo Peng got the order and immediately sent someone to ride back to follow.
The steamed buns eaten by the soldiers were prepared a long time ago, just for convenience, at this time, the firehead soldiers distributed them to the soldiers one by one, whether they ate hot or cold at will, but they were tired enough to choke on the rush in the morning, and no one went to bother to make a fire to roast the steamed buns.
After distributing these cold steamed buns, those firehead soldiers picked up water to cook rice soup, one bowl per person, all of which were more water and less rice, mainly to drink hot.
Those soldiers who were far behind ran to the resting place out of breath, unable to even drink a bowl of hot soup, and could only continue to run with two cold steamed buns, who let this be an order from Wen, and those who could not complete the order would be punished.
Tightly grasping the steamed buns, if you want to stop and steal a bite, you can't do it, because there are garrisons on horseback, that is, they are monitoring them, they are really hungry, so they can only take advantage of the garrison's unpreparedness, secretly take a bite, but the pace under their feet can not stop, they must resign themselves to running another thousand meters to rest, it is simply miserable.
After receiving a lot of rice porridge sent by the firehead soldiers, Ning Ru'an drank a little mixed taste, but she didn't feel too bitter or dissatisfied for those soldiers, she just felt that the times of war were not good, but the times are changing, and it will not always be smooth, just like modern times, there is no war, but there is an end of the world, life has become difficult, but people with strong hearts will still work hard to live, this is life.
Half an hour passed quickly, and before the soldiers had rested, they were about to get up and march again.
Wen Shi's rules have not changed, if you can't follow the next resting place, you will be punished for running an extra two thousand meters, all the soldiers heard a wail, but Wen Shi ignored them, his order is absolute, these soldiers must obey.
Riding away as fast as they could, the firemen followed closely in the wagons that hauled the grain, and the next rest was noon, and they had to do something good for the soldiers.
Wen Shi gave orders all day, he was training these soldiers, in order for them to have a strong body, to have a good physical strength, only with physical strength to carry out other training.
In addition to the hard steamed buns at night, the firehead soldiers also used a small amount of bacon, they directly put small pieces of bacon in the rice soup and cooked together, in order to avoid unfair distribution, the bacon was boiled by them, to each soldier's bowl there was only a little taste of meat, and the soldiers who ate it even licked the edge of the bowl.
Tonight is different from last night, the soldiers who have been tired for a day have no spirit of yesterday, they fell to the ground directly after dinner to rest, tired and did not want to move is a reason, in addition, they also understand Wen Shi's intentions, learn to conserve physical strength, and want to deal with tomorrow's task, after all, today's punishment really scared them.
Looking at these tired soldiers, Ning Ru'an didn't do anything, she also went to bed early, just like last night, she was protected by Wen Shi and a few people to rest in the middle.
As soon as it was dawn on the second day, Ning Ru'an woke up leisurely, and at this time, Wen Shi had just risen, and the horn was about to sound.
Today is still the same as yesterday's rules, but the punishment has changed, and those who can't keep up with the large army today will be punished for running five thousand meters, which immediately scared the soldiers, but they didn't have time to complain, the big army had already started, and they didn't have time to complain.
"Luo Peng, these people are handed over to you, and the punishment must be strictly enforced, and your laxity is to send them to death." Wen Shi said coldly.
"Yes, Lord Wang, my subordinates will definitely watch them well and not let them be lazy." That Luo Peng replied very seriously, and his firm eyes expressed his firm determination.
"Little Er, you help Luo Peng together." Wen Shi coldly ordered Xiao Er, and Xiao Er should be immediately.
After explaining properly, Wen Shi took Ning Ru'an to ride forward, and they were followed by Xiao San, Xiao Qi, Xiao Ba, and Xiao Jiu.
Ning Ru'an and the others rode directly to the nearest town, and she followed Wen Shi directly into a clothing store.
"Are there any sacks in the store?" Wen Shi asked coldly.
