The Newcomer
Chapter 159:The Newcomer
"In the lower surname Tan Mingfeng, Fengfeng, Xuanfu people, good for the long knife, riding archery are not under the words."Today I'm going to work... I want to do a job."A man stood in front of the recruitment point and said this with his fist in his hands.He was carrying a thin horse, wearing a tattered cowhide, a beard, a dusty servant, with snow and ice in his hair, and a frosty sore in his fist.
It's really down.
After this recruitment, the master grandson sat.
The old man looked up at the man, looked left and right did not speak.The man could not bear to be angry and drank, “You hired workers are really strange, but I have gone a few places but I don’t want to.”I also have some repair, but I don't want to lose the grass to the face of the door, do I really have no way out?Do you want to talk a word?.”
Grandpa Sun smiled and asked, “Our owner-employed people are looking for people who can work in peace, and those who recruit elsewhere should not be able to figure out your way to get you here.”I don’t know why this man is so happy?”
Listening to the old man's explanation, Tan Feng felt better in his heart.He sighed, “I also know that good people don’t easily want my origin to be unknown, but I can’t blame you all.”Tan Mou was originally from the door of the Xuanfu, but in the early years, he committed the death of the official and was dismissed, and he could not be mixed up in the Xuanfu, but he could only help him to run to his uncle.
Who knows where to come here to know that my distant uncle has been dead for more than ten years, and the whole family does not know where to go.At the moment, I am not in the troll, I can only find a job.I think you recruit even the old and the weak women and children, and think that the family is also a good person.It is best to vote for those who are traitors and corrupt officials in the past, and I have been more comfortable.But if you don't take me, I'll have to be a strong man with a cut."
Grandpa Sun looked at this Tan Feng again, but nodded: "This strong man is a monster, we have a lot of enemies in the East, but also afraid that someone will mix in and stir up."I heard that your accent and dress are not smooth, plus you also took such a thin horse, I want to come is not sent by other relatives.Please go to the back yard and drink some hot porridge for a meal and rest for one or two more.”
Life has fallen, Tan Feng suddenly put his heart down.He thanked him and said, “Thank you for the convenience.There is no other ability to fight, or a little ability to fight.In the past, I often took my men and sons out of the wall to find the stumps in the autumn wind in the Propaganda Palace.When I have eaten enough, I will cook for him no matter what enemy I have in the house."
In person, he wrote his name on the roster, and Tan Feng surprised Grandpa Sun.His writing was still well-written, which was extremely rare in the Ming Dynasty when the generals were generally illiterate.Looking at the old man's face with a smile, Tan Feng also said with great success: "My father does not know the big words, but from a young age to take a stick to force me to learn the text."Just because I coarsely ink, I have caused a lot of dirtyness among my colleagues.”
“To be able to read is a good thing, to be human is not to be blind.”Tan looked at a cheerful man, and I was naturally happy when I saw it.Grandpa Sun looked at the handwriting left by Tan Feng, but he was a little more favorable to this man, drew a circle in his name, and specially arranged for someone to feed his thin horse.
Tan Feng was in his twenties, a metre of seven heads, the skeleton was not small, and the block stood in a row of queues to receive meals.The kitchen in the courtyard saw that he had other ordinary people but froze a little, handed the dishes to let him go to the line to get hot porridge.He glanced at the front of the team, and at the maintenance of the queue, he shouted in surprise, "You are a little mean."
Others did not understand what Tan Feng said, but he knew that this line of time was a new thing.The queue in the yard is not a word snake, but a few threads of bending and bending as much space as possible.Everyone went in the first place, and it seemed that the chaos seemed to be chaotic and orderly, and the unruly would be hit by sticks, and even be bombarded out of the yard.
Don't underestimate the queue, this is really too strange to be used to the ancients in anything.Tan Feng saw a lot of things in the scene, knowing that being able to line up is the initial performance of discipline.In fact, even after hundreds of years, the disorderly cutting is common.
Tan Feng came from the door and practiced soldiers every day, knowing the benefits and difficulties of letting the soldiers march in line.In front of this queue is slowly advancing, the other recruits are hungry and can not be quickly squeezed to the big barrel of hot porridge distribution, but he looked left and right, and is satisfied with the orderly and quiet scene at present.
When Tan Feng walked to the large wooden barrel of porridge, the barrel was just empty.The porridge-divided cook said "wait" and left, causing a complaint in the team.Tan Feng looked around, only to see the iron-footed kun immediately pulled the most noisy people to the team to take away from the side, neither allowed them to leave the queue again, nor allowed them to enter the queue again.
“All right!”Tan Feng praised in his heart, and more and more felt that the owner who had joined himself this time was tempered.These soldiers are obviously trained, decisively disposed of, banned, should be done when they do, and never wait for things to be dealt with again - Tan Feng himself is a small officer, and it is not easy to practice under his hands.
A sigh came from behind Tan Feng.He turned to look, and behind him stood a tall young man.The other side of the face of the dish, wrapped a few tattered animal skins, hair like grass, black as mud, sad face.
Tan Feng saw that the young man was several years younger than himself, and a good teacher's mentality suddenly said: "Isn't this brother poor those who were kicked out?"Molly, they are all horses, and they must be driven out.”
The skin of the youth does not cover the whole body, and trembling with his arms around his body.He looked up at Tan Feng, but shook his head, “I’m hungry.”I haven't eaten in days, and I've sighed hungry."Speaking of words, this young man has the impotent head down, and lost his soul.
Tan Feng looked at each other pitifully, so he gave himself up to each other's position: "Come, brother, step forward."I think the porridge is thick, the chopsticks are not broken, and the owner is a good heart."
The weak young people are grateful and do not stop nodding their heads.Waiting for the next bucket of hot porridge to move, it was the first one he was in.When the porridge came up, it was still grumbling and hot, and the thin young man took a bowl of blow and mouthful into his stomach - a bowl of porridge in less than half a minute, and even the bottom of the bowl was licked clean.
A bowl of porridge is not filled at all, and the thin young people want to return to another bowl, but they are pushed away by the maintenance of order: "Go inside, go inside."You can drink another bowl of it after checking your body.”
Two before and after the courtyard of this recruitment point, the people who passed the first level continued to walk into a room.Tan Feng came in to find that the house was very spacious, but soon a lot of people came in.There is also a courteous drink order in the house: "Take off the clothes, check the body can have a dark disease."
This... Tan Feng is a little awkward.
It’s just that the other recruits don’t talk nonsense, and they’ve all become obedient after the lessons of the previous.In particular, there are several stoves burning in the house, and it is not very cold to strip away.The thin young man who was taken care of by Tan Feng took off the skin of the tattered beast on his body and showed his skinny body.He continued to hold his arms, embarrassed and sad.
The officer in charge of the inspection held the register in his hand, and recorded the unkempty faces in front of him one by one.When he came to the thin young man, the servants frowned - the people who were recruited were very thin, and this was particularly thin in front of them, and the thin ones could not only count each rib, but even the thin turbid body was only left with a bone shelf.
The thin young man begged, "Lord, don't look at me, I can suffer."I eat little, I can do any work, please take me."
Looking at the red stripes that others have taken off, Tan Feng had to give himself away.He knew that the selection of elite soldiers in the army would check the body, after all, if the recruits brought something infectious disease, it is really to kill a group of people - but for now, everyone who is recruited has a problem.
The officer in charge of the inspection stared at the thin young man and shook his head and sighed: "If you are lucky, our chief has ordered that no matter how bad the conditions are, as long as the obedient ones are collected, even if you take the food in vain."Otherwise you will be starving.”
After the exclamation, the sultry looked at the roster in his hand and asked, “Are you calling a tall cow?”
“Yes.”The thin young man nodded, heard the sultry saying that he was willing to accept it, and his eyes were tears.
He began to fill out the inspection report on the roster, writing while reading: "Weak, extremely thin, scarred, more skin moss, need to be deeply nourished."
When it was Tan Feng's turn, he nodded his head with satisfaction when he looked at his body.Tan Feng looked at the words written on the roster, but curious, he asked: "You write these words lack a lot of strokes."
"That's how we teach."The officer said.
“Who is the boss?Do you teach to write?”
"The chief is the owner, and all the food you eat and wear is given by the chief."You are all in great luck, and our chief is the best and the wisest man in the world.He will teach you many things, and it will see if you can learn them."
“There are so many people in the house, what do we want us to do?”
"There's a lot of work to be done, but you're going to get training before you're assigned.What do you think of your brains as smart as they are?The things we like to do in our family are to keep giving people lessons, endless classes and endless homework.”
The last sentence, with a sigh, is obviously a deep resentment and fear of classes and homework.But after that, he added a special sentence: "Only if you have learned the word in the class can you know how to count as a person."
Tan Feng did not understand, and the thin tall cattle were even more unclear.Neither of them thought much, only to know that his day had finally settled down.As for what the future will be, it can only take a step.
