Milong rolled around in the mud and shouted, while shameless smiles appeared on the faces of the brothers behind him. The more unlucky this guy was, the happier they were. It could even be said that Milong's unlucky index at this time was positively correlated with the happiness of his brothers.
Only Meng Fanle could come up with such a ridiculous ceremony. Just now, his engineer shovel acted as a flag, as if they were holding some kind of solemn flag-raising ceremony, which made Shuoyu want to laugh at halftime.
In fact, today was not only the day they were going to give Milong a good beating, but it was also the day they were finally going to get their pay, so Ayi didn't show up at the ceremony. He and their regiment commander were collecting their pay—a pile of rotten national currency. Standing beside him were a few new recruits who had learned a few numbers and were helping him sort it out so that he wouldn't appear so flustered.
The good old veterinarian is also helping, because he is one of the few people who can match the name of each cannon fodder with their faces. According to him, he is a doctor and he has to remember them. Even if they are dead, they still have to have a name, right?
The joy of receiving salary made the old man smile so much that the skin on his face opened up.
Everyone was eagerly waiting for their name to be called, looking forward to it, thinking about it. This was the only fresh thing in the daily life of digging holes, besides looking forward to what to eat today.
Shuo Yu looked at the things in his hand. In his eyes, these banknotes were not as valuable as a few pieces of paper that could be used for writing. However, the soldiers of the Sichuan Army were queuing up to receive the money. The new cannon fodders felt it was new, while the old cannon fodders had already thought about what to do with it. After pressing the red handprint, he stuffed the money into his pocket.
Yu Xiaoqing wasn't too bad, at least he hadn't forgotten about their wages. Shuo Yu had actually seen that guy recently, and it seemed like his salary had been reduced a bit compared to before. I wonder why the division commander couldn't eat well either? How could someone actually withhold rations from the division commander?
But the boy's hands were still strong, and he held his big knife tightly. However, Shuoyu defeated him again, leaving a few more grass scraps on his neat clothes.
Yu Xiaoqing still cares about his reputation, even among this group of cannon fodder.
Shuoyu was a captain, and his salary was a bit higher than that of Mengfan, a lieutenant. Their regiment commander received the most among them, a full fifty-one yuan.
Milong on the other side was shaking off the mud on his body. He was stinking and his clothes were soaked with water. He had a happy face. Today, Milong was very generous.
"I'm getting married today, so I'm handing out candy. Say 'May you live happily ever after' and I'll give you a piece of candy!"
Meng Fanle just finished receiving his salary and turned around to see Milong, who was covered in black. He was very rude.
"You think you are rotting coal, so how can you live happily ever after?"
Milong is too greedy. A normal happy marriage for a hundred years does not fit his character of wanting everything. He must have a happy marriage for ten thousand years. Although Fanla was relieved, Milong immediately pointed at his nose and told him that this kid has no candy to eat!
Then his brothers surrounded him like they were joining in the fun, chattering and drowning him with the choking liquor. They took matters into their own hands and found the candies that were supposed to be given to them from his pockets. They gave each of them one piece, not one more, not one less. He always felt that this candy was prepared in advance for them, and with his stingy personality, he could only afford this.
Shuoyu ate the candy in his mouth. To be honest, it was not very tasty. After several decades, all kinds of industrially processed gum candies, milk candies, coconut candies, corn candies, and crisp candies were available. Milong's candy was not even good. He took a bite with great care and put it in his pocket. It was more meaningful to keep this candy than to eat it.
He looked at Milong, who was like a big black bull, falling to the ground and getting up again. Especially since he still had the smell of cow dung on his body, this guy had no idea what politeness was and began to pat his chest and say that he was just honest.
"I'm being nice, huh? I'm even giving you candy, you bastards! I'm being nice to you!"
"That's two words!"
"Go, go, go, whoever has milk is the mother. I have milk, so I am the mother, right?"
Milong patted his thick chest. Shuoyu took a look and saw that he was indeed worthy of being called mother.
He was pulling the mountain on one side, and Si La Si was passing by him on the other side. He was stopped by him, and his head was covered with big smelly mud that had not yet dried. Si La Si pretended not to know what he wanted and told him to go and collect his salary.
Milong took out a pile of IOUs written by Si La Si La that he had carefully saved. After being irrigated by the big mud pond, they turned into a pile of rotten paper, which made this guy start to bray again.
"Oh, oh, oh my god! Here, hurry up, there's also you, there's also your name here -!"
At first, he wanted to say that it didn't count, but Milong didn't care about anything and directly snatched the fifty-one yuan from his hand, then squatted on the ground and started to sort out his missing IOUs.
"This, this is not enough, it's even missing my nose!"
"Have you taken them all?"
"This isn't enough, give me more, give me more, quick, oh my god, this has ruined everything, I'm going to kill you!"
Milong spread out his intact IOUs on the ground and tried to piece them together into a shape, occasionally cursing the brothers who were watching and throwing him into the mud.
Dead dead, no money left, so I turned my attention to the old cannon fodders who were watching the fun from the side.
