At the same time, in a tent somewhere.
"Hey, Wang Ergou, you are the one who knows how to enjoy life. You have come here early to enjoy your life. Don't you have to patrol today?"
An armored soldier lifted the curtain of the tent, walked up to another soldier, blinked, opened his mouth and spoke to him.
He put the long stick in his hand aside, took a step forward, reached out and grabbed a handful of beans on the table.
"Take less. You've grabbed such a big handful that you've taken all the beans I have." Wang Ergou felt so distressed when he saw that he had grabbed so many beans. "These are what my mother brought me to eat on the march. Please don't eat them all."
Although we are brothers who have been through thick and thin together, the account is running low and supplies are in short supply.
What's more, swords have no mercy on the battlefield.
There was no telling when this war would end, so he pointed at the beans in his hand and missed his family.
He didn't dare eat too much, for fear that the beans would be finished early and he would have nothing to think of his relatives when he missed them.
When the man heard what Wang Ergou said, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother Ergou, don't be so stingy. We are all brothers. I only ate a few of your beans, but you are still so protective of them. We are going to fight on the battlefield together. It's just a few beans, there is no need to be so protective of each other."
He winked and said jokingly.
Wang Ergou ignored him and quickly took the handkerchief wrapped with beans from the table. "Anyway, you are not allowed to take them now. I'll give you the ones you take. I'll keep the rest and eat them slowly."
He did not tell the man why he valued the beans so much.
Since the day they went to the battlefield, they have actually taken their lives lightly.
After all, swords have no eyes.
Who knows, they might have died in some war.
There are few people who have relatives at home who don’t miss their family.
If I tell everyone the reason, it will only make everyone miss me even more.
"Okay, okay, if you don't want to eat, then don't eat. I just took a break from my busy schedule to come and see you. After I finish eating these beans, I have to go on patrol. If the deputy general finds out that I came to the camp while on patrol, I will be punished with a beating. That's no joke."
The man ate two of the beans he had taken from Wang Ergou and put the rest into his lapel. He used his free hand to pat the crumbs off his palm.
He is still carrying out the tasks assigned by his superiors.
As long as his superiors found out that he was slacking off, he would be charged with disobeying military orders or dereliction of duty. Either of these charges would be too much for a small soldier like him to bear.
"I thought you were handing over your shift. How dare you come in and slack off before it's time to hand over your shift. Go quickly. If the deputy general finds out about this beating, you will not be able to escape. Go and do your job. It's time for me to go out on patrol soon." Wang Ergou carefully wrapped up the remaining beans in layers.
He didn't dare leave this thing directly in the tent.
He carries it with him every day.
