It's you who marries a wife, not me..

"But then again, for a young man like you, why do you want to go to the front line?"

"My dad said, let me see what a real battlefield looks like." Li Lin rested his head on his hands and looked at the ceiling of the box.

It was pitch dark outside the carriage, and it was impossible to see what was going on outside.

In this era, the Ming Dynasty was far from reaching all places with electricity. In many rural areas, oil lamps were still the main lighting tool.

"Your father's skull is broken?

What’s so interesting about a place with bullets flying over the head, grenades running in the crotch, broken limbs and arms flying around, and the smell of blood mixed with gun smoke.” The old monkey looked at Li Lin as if he was looking at a monster.

"Your father is out of his mind. My father is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty. No one can fight better than him."

When Li Lin heard the old monkey insulting his father, he was as angry as a little lion.

The old monkey immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing. The major general had to look at the boy in front of him differently, so his father must be a very powerful man.

The old monkey is like an ant in front of these big people.

Just now, I just lost my mind!

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, your father is very powerful.

But it’s rare for a father to send his son to a place like that. If my son grows up, I will not send him to the battlefield.

For our Hou family, it is enough for me to work hard to achieve military success.

What I want most is that my child will study hard and become a learned person in the future.

It’s not like me who can’t read a lot of Chinese characters.

This is my fate for the rest of my life."

The old monkey took a long drag on his cigarette, and the orange-red cigarette butt illuminated his face in the darkness.

Li Lin didn't want to talk, so he pulled the blanket over himself and closed his eyes to sleep.

Near noon the next day, the train arrived in Xi'an.

Li Lin and Li Xiao had been to Xi'an before and were unfamiliar with the city's military department. He still remembered the scene when he climbed up to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda and enjoyed the scenery of Xi'an with his father.

The food for lunch is very Shaanxi special, including cold skin and steamed buns.

Everyone drank from the big bowl of mutton soup.

The Liangpi had a strong spicy kick, and it was indeed delicious along with the Roujiamo and mutton soup. Li Lin was a little stuffed after eating, so he rested against the seat for a while, and then went to the toilet like many people.

No way, there is always a queue for the toilet on the train.

And the living in the toilet is really not flattering.

Everyone tries to make it as convenient as possible when getting off the train at the station, especially when boarding a large train.

It was obvious that the soldiers were somewhat unprepared for this, as there were more than twenty squatting positions occupied by naked young men.

We don't have the ability here to solve the squatting needs of hundreds of people at the same time.

But if more than 20 people join the large hall together, it can be considered a majestic event.

Li Lin waited for a long time before someone took his turn.

At this time, the smell in the toilet was already quite terrifying.

Just when Li Lin regretted not wearing a mask, he thought that wearing a mask might not be useful. Maybe a gas mask would be more suitable for the current situation.

There is a gas mask, it's in the bag.

However, the satchel is outside.

"Smoking a cigarette can mask the smell."

He was handed a cigarette from the squatting position next to him.

No need to ask, you all know that it must be the old monkey.

A veteran is a veteran, and he knows what his main task is without anyone telling him.

Now he and Li Lin are like Siamese twins, and this squatting position was taken by force with the roar of the old monkey.

Li Lin had no choice but to accept the cigarette. It was so smelly that it made him cry.

Light the cigarette, take a puff and puff it out.

Sure enough, the taste was masked a lot!

"We will arrive in Xi'an now, and we will enter the Western Regions in two days. Once we arrive in the Western Regions, we will not have such a good life.

After leaving Gansu, the train is basically not very durable.

There are so few stations in the Western Regions that I often travel for a whole day without seeing a station. There has to be a coal truck behind the locomotive."

"Have you been to the Western Regions?" This made Li Lin feel strange. Logically speaking, the soldiers of the First Division should have never been to the Western Regions to fight.

"I haven't been there, but I have a friend in the First Cavalry Division. He told me about it when we were drinking!"

"That was before. Now our Ming Dynasty has stationed many colonists in the Western Regions.

Each colonist has five to six thousand people!

The headquarters of a reclamation division is a station.

Because most of the settlers are growing cotton, this stuff is transported to the mainland in wagons and wagons every year.

The cotton-padded clothes we wear now are made of cotton produced by the reclamation division.

The settlers are very profitable and their treatment is very good. So, if you want to buy something, just buy it in Xi'an.

When you get to the Western Regions, things will be much more expensive." Li Lin was smoking and talking.

Although he can't get used to smoking this kind of Mohe smoke, there are no cigars for him to smoke now, so he can only make do with it.

"I am even more sure now that your father must be a very important official." Old Monkey lowered his voice and said.

"Why?" Li Lin was a little surprised. Could it be that he had leaked something else?

"Most people don't know the things you just said. I even bet that our battalion commander and regimental commander may not know it.

Wait a minute and let me guess!

The division commander is on the same level as that major general, so there is no need to fawn over you, but our division commander is Mr. Ao, so it’s hard to say.

Could it be that you are a child of Mr. Ao’s family? I only heard that Mr. Ao has a daughter and his son is still in primary school.

You can’t be…!”

"You mean Ao Xiaohu? He's already in middle school, okay...!" As soon as the words left his mouth, Li Lin knew that he had said the wrong thing again.

"Fuck! Young Master..., yes, I won't ask anymore. From now on, I will rely on your promotion, Young Master!"
