Chapter 558 Returning Carnage
Zhou Guo was wearing a training suit. When he opened the door, the biting cold wind with flying snowflakes hit Xuan'er as she flew into the house. She felt the threat of the winter wind directly on her face.
He closed the door and went out, his deerskin boots squeaking in the snow.
The snowflakes were still falling, and it was chilly when they hit my neck.
The silver spear swept across the ground, and the man holding the spear handle pushed his forearm forward. The spear tip broke through the air, and pieces of snow were shaken away, raising pieces of snow foam under his feet.
Zhou Dacang had slept too much recently and had been unable to fall asleep for a long time. Hearing the noise, he sat up, opened the window a little and looked into the yard. He saw Zhou Guolei still practicing martial arts. The sky was gray and dark, and he didn't know when it would get light.
Wearing a crane cloak, he leaned on the small table and watched Zhou Guo practicing with a gun in the snow through the window.
From time to time, there was a humming sound of breaking through the air in the snow, and the snowflakes on the ground were blown up. Gradually, Zhou Guo was completely surrounded by snow and fog. He couldn't see the tip of the gun clearly, and even her whole body seemed unclear.
He felt deeply moved. He had never slacked off during the past two years in the army. When there was no fighting, he was either practicing martial arts, riding horses, shooting arrows, or leading troops. He spent a lot of time on these things every day.
It seemed that Zhou Guo could only spare an hour of practice in the morning, and his martial arts skills had not fallen behind at all. He was afraid that he could not last more than fifty moves under her hands.
It’s so infuriating to compare people to each other!
The sun gradually brightened.
The snow is getting heavier.
Zhou Guo performed this shooting technique over and over again.
Suddenly, Zhou Dacang saw her twist her waist and turn her head in the air. He pushed the arm holding the gun handle forward fiercely. With a loud 'swish' sound, the gun tip pierced through the courtyard wall, and the gun handle was still shaking slightly in the air.
Zhou Dacang looked at the courtyard wall in amazement. This wall was built with bluestone. How much strength would it take?
Zhou Guo looked at the east door with some guilt, then hurried forward and pulled out the gun.
He tiptoed closer to take a look, and saw that the wall, which had been intact, had a hole in it. He lowered his head and looked around, and found a pebble from the side of the small pond, and filled the hole with it.
I looked at it from a distance and felt relieved when I saw that it was not noticeable if you didn't pay attention.
This counterattack was a modification she made on the basis of the original one.
When the old man saw this, he shook his head almost falling off, saying that she was courting death. Facing the enemy in battle, the gun fell out of her hand and she didn't even need the weapon anymore. That was simply courting death.
Zhou Guo smiled innocently. It was all because she watched too many costume dramas in her previous life. That’s why she wanted to give it a try, only to find out that this trick was totally unreasonable and just looked good.
The power of the spear is very high. Due to its inertia, it can easily penetrate armor. It is difficult to retract the force and it is most important to avoid it slipping out of the hand. If the enemy is not dead, she will be stabbed to death by this spear.
So she didn't practice like this later, and only used this trick when she felt like showing off from time to time.
But she was scolded by Li again, saying that she had poked holes in the wall one after another, and the originally strong wall was almost like a sieve. She was forbidden to practice this useless and wall-damaging move anymore.
At this moment, she filled the hole in the wall, turned to look at Zhou Dacang, grinned, ran over and said, "Uncle, how about this gun technique?"
Zhou Dacang gathered his clothes and invited her into the house to get on the kang.
Zhou Guo put down his gun, jumped in through the window, closed the window, then took off his shoes and got on the kang.
Zhou Dacang asked: "Who taught you to use a gun like this?"
Zhou Guo honestly told him that it was his own creation.
Zhou Dacang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "You also know that losing your weapon is a taboo. I thought you didn't know that. Although the back-stab attack is powerful, it can't be used casually."
Zhou Guo nodded, "I know, little uncle, your training in the army must be different from ours. You have fought so many battles in the past two years, so you must have a lot of experience in fighting the enemy. Can you teach me when you get better?"
Zhou Dacang said: "Of course, no problem. Although my kung fu may not be as good as yours, I know more about how to kill people than you."
"Wait a minute, talk slowly. I'll get you a small stove to boil some water for tea." He got up and went to the kitchen to find a small stove, put some charcoal in a basket, and brought it into the house.
Then he brought a small clay pot.
He ran in and out three times before he moved all the things in and brought in two plates of pastries. All he had to do was wait for the water on the stove to boil.
Zhou Guo sat cross-legged on the kang and said with a smile, "Okay, you can talk now."
Zhou Dacang smiled and said, "How can I explain this? I can only call you to see. Your uncle hasn't read that many books, so he can't explain it clearly."
Zhou Guo took a palm leaf fan and fanned the fire in the stove. He said slowly, "There are many other things to talk about in the army, such as what you eat and drink, how you sleep, how often you take a bath, how you train, how many battles you have fought, how many people you have killed, how many times you have been injured, and what interesting people and interesting things there are in the army... You can talk about all these. Why can't you find anything to talk about?"
Zhou Dacang was stunned. "Do you have to explain it in such detail?"
Zhou Guo said, "I have nothing to do anyway. I'm not going anywhere today. I came here to talk to you. Do you get enough to eat in the army every day?"
"We can still eat enough to be full during the war." Zhou Dacang thought about it and told the truth. This little girl is smarter than anyone else. She probably saw something from them. "When the war is about to start, people like us can still eat about 80% full, but the people below can only eat about 50% full."
"When I first entered the army, I started as a soldier. I had a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun in the morning. Lunch was the best, with a bowl of dry rice and two steamed buns. The worst was at night, with only a bowl of porridge. This was at the border. The entire tax revenue of the North was in the hands of the general himself. The court would give us some money from time to time if it was kind. We were always prepared for war, so we could have three meals a day. Some places might only have two meals a day. There was not enough food and grass, so the battle line could not be stretched too long, otherwise we could take advantage of the turmoil in the North and attack, and it could buy many years of peace."
Zhou Guo nodded, "So, the military rations in the north are not enough."
Zhou Dacang smiled bitterly, "It's not just not enough, it's simply too scarce. Every year when it's time to collect food and grass, several of us centurions would fight over it."
"You are now a centurion?" Zhou Guo was surprised. "You have made such a great contribution this time, the lowest you should be is a thousand-householder. With so many people, you are equivalent to a general. You have a rank, right?"
Zhou Dacang picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. "If nothing unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will be a fifth-grade thousand households."
Zhou Guo clapped his hands happily, "You have already become a regular rank in just two years. If the general makes an exception for you this time, then you will be promoted to the fourth rank, right? Oh my God, uncle, in a few years, you will really become a great general."
Zhou Dacang said with a smile: "Are you so happy that I'm an official? You seem to be happier than I am."
