Along the way, before they reached the border, a sudden storm came.
Even though it was daytime, the entire sky was gray as if it was night. From time to time, a white light flashed, followed by a deafening thunder.
Xiao Xiao and the others looked over at the village where they were resting. It was difficult to even see the mountains in the distance. It was as if the entire world was experiencing a catastrophe.
The storm was so heavy that it caught them off guard.
"Let's continue!"
The one who said this was the centurion of the veterans. He was in his thirties. He roared loudly.
Hearing this, everyone in the recruit team looked at him in disbelief. If they forced their way through this storm, they would die halfway, let alone at the border.
"No, it's raining so heavily. If we hurry, the soldiers 'bodies won't be able to withstand it!”
Xiao Xiao ran in front of the centurion who was riding a horse and raised his head to shout loudly.
The rain had already soaked his entire body. The heavy rain made it difficult for him to open his eyes.
"If this heavy rain causes a flood, we won't be able to cross the west of the river and reach the border. If the city is lost, our entire family will be beheaded.”
....
In the heavy rain, Xiao Xiao heard the centurion's words clearly. His breathing became rapid.
It was only then that he remembered that he had seen a map. There was a wooden bridge in the west of the river. If the heavy rain washed away the wooden bridge, he would have to wait for the tide to recede before he could bridge it.
This round and round. The shortest time was fifteen days, and the longest was ten days.
Xiao Xiao was speechless as he looked at the recruits. He could only give the order to continue moving.
After traveling day and night, they finally crossed the bridge the next morning. Fortunately, there was no delay at that time. Seeing that the water level had already risen several times, everyone gasped.
He almost couldn't make it.
At that time, everyone would have to bear the death penalty!
Just as everyone was rejoicing, something even more terrifying was about to happen.
As the rain was still falling, they had not reached the next city yet. On the afternoon of the second day, some recruits collapsed.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiao was present at that time. He suddenly saw an old Qin soldier draw his sword and prepare to execute the fallen recruit. He hurriedly pulled out his sword to block it.
"What are you doing?"
At this time, Xiao Xiao's face was pale. The continuous journey had made him tired. But at this moment, he was still roaring angrily.
The rain started to ease up a little, but Xiao Xiao's gaze started to turn cold.
"Xiao Baifu. He can't walk anymore."
the veteran said. His eyes were filled with warning.
Xiao Xiao was a centurion, but they all knew that this centurion was different from the other centurions in the army.
Hence, even though they called him Centurion, it did not mean that they were afraid of Xiao Xiao.
All the old Qin soldiers looked over, their eyes full of vigilance. Even the centurion general among the veterans frowned when he looked at Xiao Xiao.
His words were very clear.
If they couldn't move, they wouldn't be able to reach the border. They would still be sentenced to death!
More than seven hundred people in the recruit camp watched this scene and couldn't bear to look to the side. They knew that the fallen recruit was dead.
However, to everyone's surprise, just as the veteran was about to raise his sword, he suddenly heard Xiao Xiao's cold voice.
"I'll carry it."
....
Looking at Xiao Xiao, who was carrying the recruit, the veteran looked at the centurion at a loss. He had never encountered such a situation before and did not know how to deal with it.
After seeing the centurion shake his head, the old Qin soldier put away his Qin sword. They continued on their way.
The 700 over recruits in the new barracks watched Xiao Xiao carrying a recruit on his back, walking alone in the heavy rain. His heart suddenly twitched.
If it was before, they were doing it to survive. They were full of respect for Xiao Xiao, who taught them the skills.
But now, when they saw this scene, they seemed to have something in their hearts.
They had come here to be abandoned!
.......
Xiao Xiao suddenly felt a little lighter. He looked to the side and realized that it was Pan Jiang. At this moment, his eyes were red as he smiled and said in a sobbing tone,"Boss, I'll help!"
Then, another person came from the left. So it was Zhao Kun.
There seemed to be someone pushing him from behind!
Xiao Xiao looked at these people and a smile appeared on his pale face. He suddenly felt the rain on his neck. It was actually hot.
It turned out that tears were flowing out of the slightly opened eyes of the sick youth.
"Don't be afraid. We're all here."
Under the heavy rain, Xiao Xiao didn't turn his head. She didn't know if he heard her. But this was what Xiao Xiao said to him.
....
If it was the first time they saw Xiao Xiao carrying a sick person and felt silly, then on the second day in the recruit camp, dozens of recruits took turns to carry the fallen youth, followed by hundreds of people. This scene. These old Qin soldiers had never seen him before.
Everyone's mouth was agape, and their hearts were filled with shock.
They would never forget this scene!
