Chapter 227 Naming
That night
Gou'er walked to a military tent carrying a food box and greeted the two soldiers standing guard at the door.
"Brother Liu, Brother Wang."
"Are you here? General Lin is learning with the military advisor." Brother Liu said as he gave up his seat.
"Then I'll wait a while before going in." Gou'er took a step back, ready to wait for the military advisor to come out before going in.
"Come in, the general has instructed that you can come in anytime when you arrive." Brother Wang on the other side invited him in.
"Well, I'd better wait a little longer." Gou'er refused with a smile.
Goudan is very self-aware. During these three fantastic months, Tiezhu has become a general with his own abilities.
But he was still so useless that he didn't dare to go into battle to kill the enemy and could only hide behind Brother Tiezhu.
So all he could do was try not to cause trouble for Brother Tiezhu.
They waited for half an hour until Lin Tiezhu finally sent the military advisor out.
"You're here, why don't you come in?" Lin Tiezhu turned around and saw Goudaner huddled beside the military tent.
"I was afraid of disturbing you." Gou'er quickly stood up with the lunch box, but because he had been squatting for too long, his legs were too numb to stand up and he fell to the side.
"Be careful." Lin Tiezhu took a big step forward and supported Gou Daner.
"Next time you come, just come in directly and don't wait outside." Although March is spring, it is very cold in the morning and evening. Goudan'er's health was not good to begin with. What if he gets sick after staying outside for a long time?
When Lin Tiezhu held Goudan'er's hand, he found that his hands were cold, and it was obvious that he had been outside the military tent for quite some time.
"Yeah." Gou'er nodded in agreement, "Brother, I brought you some midnight snacks."
"Okay, let's go in and eat together." Lin Tiezhu brought Gou Dan'er into the military tent and looked at the two soldiers guarding the tent with an expressionless face.
The two soldiers felt a chill all over their bodies and immediately straightened their backs.
General Lin's power is getting stronger and stronger now. Just by looking at them, one can feel the murderous aura.
It seems that the next time this little ancestor comes, no matter what is happening in the military tent, they have to send people in, otherwise they will be the ones to suffer in the end!
After entering the military tent, Goudan quickly took out the midnight snack from the food box.
Perhaps he guessed that Lin Tiezhu would have something to do at night, so Gou'er brought meat patties as a midnight snack. It didn't matter if they were cold, he could just roast them over the fire and eat them.
Lin Tiezhu looked at Goudaner, who took out the meat patties and busied himself roasting them on the brazier. He couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
Two of the men who came out from their village died on the way for various reasons.
Later, when they finally joined the army, these peasants were just cannon fodder pushed forward.
All the honest people are dead, so I am cautious and careful. My big beard and strong body are also intimidating.
I finally managed to escape from that cannibalistic battlefield with Goudan. The world was in chaos, and I originally thought I could quietly return to my hometown.
But somehow, he became the general of the rebel army in order to save his own life and Goudan'er's life.
He had to start learning, learning to read, learning military tactics, learning how to lead troops and dispatch them...
There is so much knowledge to learn!
When you are alone, you can be brave and courageous, or you can seek personal gain through cunning means.
But now he has three thousand soldiers under his command, and any order he gives involves countless lives.
So he had to learn, any knowledge that could help him keep these brothers.
"Brother, can we still go home?" Gou'er, who was roasting meat patties, lowered his eyes and looked at the dancing flames in the brazier.
Lin Tiezhu reached out and touched his head, saying firmly, "We can definitely go back."
"Really?" Goudan turned his head and looked at Lin Tiezhu with his sparkling puppy eyes.
"Of course!" Lin Tiezhu lowered his eyes.
They will definitely come home!
"Oh, by the way, I asked the military advisor to help you and me choose a new name. Let me know if it sounds good!" Lin Tiezhu picked up a piece of paper from the wooden table with two names written on it.
Lin Tiezhu pointed at a name on the right side of the paper and said, "This is your name."
"Whatever you call me!" Goudan was surprised and happy.
"Li Ping'an!" Lin Tiezhu pointed at the three words on the paper, "It means a lifetime of peace and safety."
"Peace, Li Ping'an!" Gou'er repeated the name, "May you be safe and sound all your life!"
"Yeah, it sounds nice, very nice, from now on my name will be Li Ping'an!" Goudan was overjoyed.
His family was very poor. He had five brothers and sisters, and he was the third oldest. He was in poor health when he was a child, so his parents named him Goudaner.
It is said that a humble name is easier to keep, so he has been called this for fourteen years.
He didn't have a real name, no, it should be said that he had a real name called Li San, but he just used his father's surname and added a ranking.
It doesn't have any beautiful meaning, it's just a memorable code name.
But now he has a name too—
Li Ping'an, in this troubled world, being able to live in peace and safety is a luxury that many people desire but cannot obtain.
That’s great!
"Brother, what's your name? What's your name now?" Li Ping'an looked at Lin Tiezhu with anticipation.
Ever since Brother Tiezhu became a general, he has never called him Brother Tiezhu again.
Because he heard those recruited literati secretly laughing at Lin Tiezhu's name, saying that this name sounded like the name of a peasant and did not have the aura of a general at all.
He didn't want Brother Tiezhu to be laughed at, so he now called him brother.
"Lin Xiaoteng!" Lin Tiezhu pointed at the name on the other side.
"Lin Xiaoteng? What does it mean?" Li Pingan was illiterate, and the two words "Xiaoteng" didn't sound like the word "Ping'an", so he knew what it meant as soon as he heard it.
"With such a brave and capable person, he can roam thousands of miles!" When General Lin Tiezhu gave his advisor this name, he recited the source of the explanation.
Li Pingan was confused. What did it mean?
"The general meaning is that the general is unstoppable on the battlefield and is brave and capable of making great achievements." Lin Tiezhu told Li Ping'an everything that the general's advisor had explained to him.
Li Pingan nodded, "Very impressive."
Although he only understood the general idea, the name given to Brother Tiezhu by the military advisor must be the best.
Oh, no, now he should call me Brother Xiaoteng.
"Brother Xiaoteng." Thinking of this, Li Pingan called out sweetly.
Lin Xiaoteng was stunned for a moment before he reacted and reached out to touch Li Ping'an's head, "Yeah, I'm here!"
"Brother Xiaoteng!"
"exist!"
"Brother Xiaoteng!"
"exist!"
…
He hopes that Li Ping'an can live a peaceful life just like his name.
But reality is never as beautiful as wishing——
Li Ping'an did not wait for a lifetime of peace and tranquility.
Lin Xiaoteng is not unstoppable and has not achieved great success!
