Chapter 93 Have you ever heard of jumping into a well?
It’s not that he likes this girl very much, but because he owed Zhao Jinchen a favor in the past.
When he was a new soldier, he was besieged by wild wolves during a field training and it was Zhao Jinchen who saved him.
"Yes, I want to be a female soldier, brother, do you think I meet the requirements?"
Zhao Yuying was a brave girl. She walked up to Zhou Zixu with a smile and looked at him playfully.
Her intuition told her that this man should be able to help her. Just now when the eldest brother said that she wanted to be a female soldier, his eyes flashed.
"That's enough. I'll ask for you when I get back. My aunt is the deputy director of the art troupe. It's possible for her to recruit a female soldier."
Zhou Zixu nodded. Judging purely from the external conditions for recruiting cultural and artistic soldiers, Zhao Yuying was qualified.
As for the basic skills, you can learn them on the spot if you don’t know them.
"Forget it, my sister is singing out of tune."
Zhao Jinchen walked out the door carrying a bucket. There was an ancient well in the village, and people usually went there to fetch water.
There was water in the jar, but it was lukewarm and there was no way to cool the persimmons down.
"It's okay. There's still dancing. The girl has a good figure. I should be able to do it after practicing the day after tomorrow."
Zhou Zixu smiled at Zhao Yuying. This girl is very bold and she won't be afraid of going on stage.
But Zhao Yuying completely misunderstood. She thought Zhou Zixu had taken a fancy to her, so she shyly threw away her pigtails and ran back to the house.
Zhou Zixu was confused. What was going on? He was so bold just now! He agreed to help her, but now he is shy.
"Thank you! I wish my daughter could join the army."
Zhou Guifang also misunderstood at this time. She was most proud of her beautiful daughter.
All the handsome young men in the village had asked matchmakers to help them, but the girl was too proud and didn't want to live in the countryside, so she didn't get engaged.
The young man in front of me is handsome and seems to be very capable. He comes up and says he wants to help Yuying. Doesn’t that mean he has chosen her?
"Leave it to me. I'll ask when I get back."
Zhou Zixu retracted his gaze and patted his chest towards Zhou Guifang.
Zhao Jinchen frowned and looked at his mother, regretting that he had said too much. But now things had come to this point, and if he didn't let Zhou Zixu help, not only would his mother be angry, but his sister would also hate him.
"Come on, follow me to fetch some water. I'll show you the wells in our countryside."
A big hand patted Zhou Zixu's shoulder. This young master, although he could endure hardships during training, was usually very pampered.
"Okay, I've seen it, but I've never shaken it myself."
Zhou Zixu smiled and followed him happily. His grandfather always told him that the well water in the countryside was sweet!
Since he is here, he naturally has to bring some back for grandpa.
"As for my sister's affairs, you should not help her find a backdoor. Let her apply for the exam normally. If she is suitable, then use her. If not, don't force your aunt to keep her."
After leaving the yard, Zhao Jinchen spoke. He was setting a threshold for his sister and blocking her way.
"I know your sister is good-looking. Besides, my aunt is very principled. She will not stay if she is not qualified."
Zhou Zixu smiled. His old comrade was still like this. He never asked anyone for help and didn't want to take any shortcuts. He relied on his own efforts to be promoted to the position of battalion commander.
"This well in our village is very old. I heard it was built in the Ming Dynasty. The water is sweet and refreshing in summer. In winter, it does not freeze even in the coldest days of winter."
Arriving at the only ancient well in the village, Zhao Jinchen explained to Zhou Zixu while starting to turn the wheel.
After hearing Zhao Jinchen's introduction, Zhou Zixu went to the well, lay on the edge of the well and looked down, grinning, and suddenly thought of something important.
"It looks so dark, do you know how deep it is? Oh, have you ever heard of anyone jumping into a well since the Ming Dynasty?"
