The Great Seminary

Chapter 169 Welcome to the True Dragon (Part )

The barracks, which was more than ten feet wide and nearly ten feet long, was divided into five bunk beds and housed more than forty soldiers.

When it was time for dinner, everyone went to the cook's camp to get some porridge and filled their stomachs while standing there.

Then go back to camp and sleep.

But no matter how thick the corn porridge is, it is still watery. I felt full at the time, but after peeing for a while, my stomach started to growl with hunger again.

Lu Lihu finally got onto land and slept on a warm kang.

I originally thought I could sleep for three days and three nights in one go.

But I woke up in the evening feeling hungry and couldn't fall asleep again.

I tossed and turned on the big bunk bed for a long time.

Seeing that Lu Yousheng, who was lying on his right, was still sleeping soundly, he couldn't help but sigh with envy.

He turned over and turned his head towards the left wall.

After a while, he was bored and started counting the spots on the wall.

As he counted, he suddenly felt angry and could no longer lie still, so Lu Lihu jumped off the bed.

I saw the horse manager sitting in front of the brazier and warming himself by the fire.

After Lu Lihu ran away, he sat down on the stool next to him and asked with a licking face:
"Captain Ma, what time do we have dinner tonight?

Is there anything useful in this meal?"

"When we're not training, we have two meals a day and no dinner at night."

"Isn't this a scam?" Lu Lihu jumped up in anger when he heard this.
“When we were recruited to the island, we were told we would have white flour buns for every meal and a juicy salted egg every day.

Eat fatty meat dishes every two days.

Now it is so harsh.

Such exercises without any oil or water, even if one has a strong constitution, will not last more than ten days, and will definitely cause urinary incontinence.

The body will be ruined!"

"Don't be anxious, young man. Listen carefully to what I say," the steward explained with a smile:
"Only when we're not training, that's when we have corn porridge and pickles twice a day.

Of course, it wouldn't be so shabby during training, as there would always be plenty of corn cakes.

In the morning, we have a full bowl of 'pork fat soy sauce soup' to drink, so it's not completely without oil."

Lu Lihu's mouth twitched.

"This, this is not much better, it's true that all crows are black!

I didn’t expect that King Zhen, King Zhen also…”

He seemed to want to say something bad, but because King Zhen was his idol, he swallowed it back and finally remained dejected and silent.

Seeing this, Ma Guantou lowered his voice and laughed,
"Okay, stop talking nonsense.

You're really hungry, I'll take you to my acquaintance, Mr. Zhao, to get a small pumpkin."

"Really!" Lu Lihu's eyes widened when he heard this and he said in surprise.

But then he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly protected his back.
"Captain Ma, you and I have no kinship, and this is the first time we've met.

Why are you so nice to me? You want to give me pumpkin to eat.

Could it be that he's the legendary old pervert who hasn't seen a woman in his military service for more than a decade, and is so thirsty that he's become a "dry-road" slut?

The steward who was drinking tea spit out his tea on the ground with a "puff".
"You little brat know a lot, but you're blind and like to overthink things.

How could I, a tall and handsome man of five and a half feet, do such a dirty thing?"

"Then why did you only give me pumpkin when there are so many new people here today?

Just because I'm hungry?
It doesn’t look like that, it doesn’t look like that, even a ghost can see that everyone is very hungry…”

"Stop guessing, I'll tell you why I look at you differently."

Guantou Ma waved his hand and said:
“Of the ten new people who came into our room, you look the most likely to succeed.

It's worth me doing a favor by exchanging a few pumpkins.

To tell you the truth, this is how I got my job as a 'steward'."

Lu Lihu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it. He exerted force on his thick arms and felt that his muscles were indeed solid. He nodded in satisfaction.
“I believe what you said.

I have to say you have a pretty good eye. Let's go then."

"Where to go?"

"Of course I'd go find that cook, Qian or Zhao, and ask for some pumpkins.

Don't worry, when I become powerful, I will repay you a hundredfold, a thousandfold."

Lu Lihu stood up and said impatiently:
“Even though pumpkin is sweet and can satisfy hunger, it’s not as good as regular food to keep you going.

How about you help me get a few corn cakes and half a pickled vegetable dumpling?"

As he spoke, he pulled up the horse's butt and strode out of the barracks.

After all the hassle, I ate the pumpkin raw and drank soy sauce soup with boiling water and lard.

When the two returned to the barracks.

The night watchman at the parade ground rang the bell at exactly six quarters past midnight, which was half past eight in the evening.

Although Lu Lihu was only half full, his stomach no longer felt uncomfortable.

Logically speaking, I should have been able to fall asleep.

But when he was about to return to the camp, he accidentally saw that Chef Zhao secretly gave two big steamed buns to Captain Ma and hid them in his sleeves.

I couldn't go to sleep because I was thinking about having two mouths together.

Unexpectedly, Manager Ma managed to stay awake and chat with him for a while, then yawned a few times.

It looks like he can't hold on any longer.

He stood up and walked to the middle bunk bed, patting the heads of two skinny young men with their eyes closed.

"Fengzi, Xiaosi, wake up and eat some cakes before going back to sleep."

The two skinny young men slowly opened their eyes.

One of them smiled dryly at the horse steward and said, "Thank you, steward, for letting me be a well-fed ghost."

The other one was pale and his lips trembled as he said:

"No, it's not necessarily me, boss, I won't eat this bun.

No practice, no rules for eating cakes."

Hearing this, Ma Guantou sighed softly and stuffed a corn cake into his hand.

“I didn’t say it had to be you.

But including today, you haven't exercised for three days because you've been peeing blood.

Eat some dry food and nourish yourself, then maybe you can practice tomorrow, right?

Eating corn cakes to nourish the body is ridiculous, not to mention the rich, even for ordinary people.

But when people are really in despair, even seeing a straw seems like it could save their lives.

The pale-faced young man seemed to truly believe what Captain Ma said, and his dull eyes lit up.

He started to eat the steamed bun in big mouthfuls.

He ate with a dry mouth and couldn't swallow it because of the choking, but he still kept chewing vigorously.

Seeing this scene, Lu Lihu felt a shiver in his heart for some reason, and the hairs on his back stood up. He quietly walked behind the horse steward, leaned his head over and asked in a low voice:

"Butler, what's going on?"

"Go to sleep, you'll understand tomorrow." Manager Ma replied in a dry voice.

He climbed onto the bunk bed yawning.

Then, as time passed, the firelight on the kang in the room gradually dimmed.

At three o'clock in the morning, the fire suddenly went out completely, and then lit up again, and everything was back to normal.

The only difference is that the number of people in the barracks has decreased from more than forty to exactly forty.

At the same time, in the True Dragon Kingdom on the Giant Snake Head Island, the Stone Corpse King Guiyang Palace.

Zhang Gui stood on the high platform, looking at the thousands of men and women whose expressions were either horrified or wooden, which he had captured with his divine power.

Showing eight snow-white teeth,
"Hello everyone, welcome back from the sea of ​​suffering to the land of freedom and civilization, True Dragon!"
