The man who was talking to Sixteen was listening by the window. His wife was with him.
The children were sleepy and had gone to sleep after dinner. The young one was not even old enough to enter school yet.
The husband and wife wanted to know more about the situation, so they moved a bench and sat facing the window to look at the light outside.
The man's hand was on the woman's shoulder, and the woman's hand was around the man's waist.
After a while, the man's hand was around the woman's waist, and the woman leaned her head on the man's body.
The two of them started to doze off as they listened.
It was obviously a tense matter of arresting people and sealing off the street, but the couple felt happiness and peace from it.
They were not the only ones. Many people felt the same way because Sixteen was guarding them.
What was there to worry about with the army standing guard outside their homes?
"What's in that big bag next to you? Can I ask? "The local soldier was curious about the big military bag.
"Compressed biscuits, a water bottle, alcohol cotton balls, fire-starter tools, sterile bandages, tactical knives, medicine for sore wounds, military coats, ropes, sewage filter cloth, rock sugar, soap, special medicine, and so on."
The sixteen guards spilled the beans without hiding anything.
"Why are you bringing these things?" The local soldier didn't understand. Were you bringing these things for a long trip?
"We're always prepared. If there's a disaster, we'll set off immediately.
If there's a problem, we won't have to look for equipment.
At first, the Winged Knights were like this. Later, we trained well and joined them.
Li Dongzhu said it's a 24-hour, all-weather army. Equipment is our life. We can fight at any time and win. "
Sixteen puffed out his chest. We're different from you.
Our competitors are the Winged Knights. We're not afraid to fight the Winged Knights with the same equipment because we have more people.
The Winged Knights only have 30,000 people, and we have more than 200,000. Everyone trains hard. No matter how bad we are, we can beat them with a few people.
The local soldier couldn't hear Sixteen's thoughts. He yearned for the big bag and wanted to have one.
"Can you buy it with money? I have chickens at home, and I make some money by selling salted and rotten eggs. "He wanted to buy it.
"I'm guessing that His Majesty and Li Dongzhu are in Luoyang this year. Brothers, we can get one before the New Year.
Later on, we'll take turns to wear the overcoat to sleep while the other person will be on night duty. We'll change shifts every two hours.
Luoyang's nights are not much warmer than Chang 'an. It's great to have you around. "
The Sixteenth Guard smiled. With one more person, they would have time to rest, and they wouldn't have to stay up all night.
"Are you guarding the door?" The local soldier looked at the door behind him.
The couple who were about to fall asleep inside immediately woke up and looked at the door together. The door … was locked. They had to open it?
"What are you thinking about? Sleep outside. After that, you will receive new training. Find a place to sleep at any time. "The Sixteenth Guard said with a smile.
"In the past, we always had to borrow a place to stay." The local soldier looked at the stars in the sky and felt the chill. He said that he should adopt this method.
"You said it was in the past, but it's different now. The strongest soldiers will not offend the common people; the strongest soldiers will stand in front of the common people in times of danger. "
"It's cold at night."
"I have a military coat."
"You'll get sick."
"There's medicine."
"Are you hungry? Do you want some compressed biscuits?"
"I'm not eating. The hungrier I get, the more energetic I get."
As the two of them spoke, the man in the room left the stool and went to the door to remove the bolt. With a creak, the door opened a crack.
He came back to take his wife to bed and told the people outside that they could come in at any time.
The Winged Knights were arresting people and taking some of their families with them. They left Luoyang Palace and went up the mountain.
…
The crowing of roosters rose and fell, and the people who opened restaurants and restaurants woke up out of habit.
The common people who needed to get up early to work put on their clothes, casually washed their faces, and went out without brushing their teeth.
The sky was blue with a hint of pink.
Before the sun jumped out of the horizon, the sky in the west lit up first.
Just like how it often happened when Li Yi was a disaster relief soldier, many soldiers lay outside to sleep. They were not under the eaves and were easily exposed to the wind.
One person slept while the other placed a kerosene lamp on the ground and walked back and forth.
After a while, he would go to someone else's place, chat for a while, and then turn back.
If the requirements were not strict, they would not be allowed to communicate. What if they couldn't hear what was going on elsewhere and the enemy sneaked in?
"Hurry up and cook. Leave the door open and don't come in. When we were young, we had to give the place to the soldiers and cook for them. "
The man of the couple opened the door to take a look and asked his wife to cook.
He couldn't understand why they couldn't ask the soldiers to come in.
He didn't know that this operation was to prevent the common people from losing things in their homes and that there were women in their homes.
If the soldiers went in, they couldn't explain anything. Reputation was more important than life.
Otherwise, why would someone use death to prove their innocence after being wronged? And others didn't care about 'his' death.
The sun jumped out, and the morning glow was so beautiful.
Groups of people drove to each square and began to call out, "It's time to eat, time to eat!"
"Husband, I haven't finished cooking yet." The man's wife heard the noise and ran to the door to take a look.
"Who's cooking so early in the morning?" The man was surprised.
The people of the 16th guard extinguished the lamp. "You can leave it for lunch. Li Dongzhu is here, so how can there be a lack of food? The Ba Shui Regiment's strongest point is logistics."
"Ba Shui Zhuangzi?" the man asked.
"Regiment. At home, it's Zhuangzi. Outside, it's the regiment.
No matter when or where, as long as the Ba Shui Regiment is here, there are no logistical problems.
Eat with your family. Thank you for cooking for us. Are the two children awake? "
The people of the 16th guard heard what the man said before, so he couldn't stop him.
Now, the rice was just rice, dry porridge, and pickled vegetables.
They could eat three meals a day and eat this in the morning. It was a happy life.
The thick porridge wasn't stirred, so it wouldn't spoil at night.
If it really didn't work, they could leave it for lunch, then heat it up and turn it into dry rice. After that, they could still eat it at night and it wouldn't spoil.
The two children got up reluctantly and brushed their teeth with pig hair toothbrushes. They could sell shrimp cages to make money, so they naturally had toiletries.
"Uncle, I dreamed of you last night. You're so nice," the child said to the people of the 16th guard.
"It's nothing," the people of the 16th guard responded with a smile.
"You killed children and ate their meat. You ate more than ten children. When you came to me, you said you were full and let me go. You're so nice!" the child continued.
The people of the 16th guard were speechless.
He was a little regretful. He shouldn't have given the child candy yesterday. He had trapped the child's heart with honey!
"Uncle, I'm just kidding! When I woke up in the morning, the rooster crowed and I was annoyed. In a daze, I saw you chasing the rooster away and saying not to disturb the child's sleep.
It's written in the newspaper that when I hear the sound, I'll slowly wake up from my dream. "
The child saw the look on the other person's face and giggled.
"Drink some water first. We'll eat later." The person of the 16th guard tapped the child's forehead with his finger.
