Chapter - 39

"I said, the bun in your hand is mine," she said.

Before she finished speaking, the man laughed sinisterly and said, "Kid, don't look for trouble."

"I just want to take back what's mine."

The other party looked at her. The young man was very frail. Even the uniform red uniform of the army seemed too wide and long on him. He was also shorter than the average boy. Standing here, he looked like a child who had not grown up yet.

A child yelling at him was like an ignorant puppy barking at a wolf. There was nothing but ridiculous about it.

"Yours?" The scar-faced man grabbed the bun with disdain. Before He Yan could react, he threw it into his mouth. The bun was not big to begin with, so he swallowed it in two or three bites. He was like a beast that could not wait to eat its prey. After eating, he looked at He Yan provocatively and said with a strange smile, "Yours? Who can testify? What can you do to me? "

The bun was already in his stomach. He Yan could not cut open his stomach and take the bun out. After the man finished speaking, he looked at He Yan's helpless expression happily. He took the bowl of porridge in his hand and walked forward unhurriedly.

"What can I do to you?" He Yan muttered to herself. After a moment, she smiled, turned around, and walked toward the scar-faced man. The scar-faced man was bending over to drink the porridge in his bowl. He Yan kicked his knee. The scar-faced man's legs went weak and he almost knelt down. He staggered a few steps and stood up. However, the porridge in his hand spilled on the ground. There was nothing left. Seeing this, the scar-faced man turned his head angrily. When he saw He Yan, he gnashed his teeth and said, "You!"

"Me?" He Yan laughed and said, "I did it. Who can testify? What can you do to me? "

The young man's eyes were full of slyness and a hint of provocation. It made the scar-faced man furious. The scar-faced man raised his fist and was about to step forward.

"Hey, what do you want?"

At this moment, a voice came from the side. It was Hong Shan and Shi Tou. When Xiao Mai saw He Yan talking to Scarface for a long time, she guessed that something must have happened. She called her brother and Hong Shan over.

Hong Shan and Shi Tou didn't look as easy to bully as He Yan. Both of them looked strong and strong. Scarface didn't act rashly. He just snorted coldly and glared at He Yan, saying, "Just you wait!" Then he turned around and walked away.

His tone was extremely vicious and full of threats.

"What's wrong with you?" Hong Shan asked. "What happened?"

"He snatched my meat bun, so I gave him my vegetable porridge. It's fair." He Yan tried to put it simply. Hong Shan understood as soon as he heard this. He looked at He Yan, sighed, and said, "Why are you angry with him? You should have endured it just now."

"Why should I?" He Yan asked.

When she was in the army, she often encountered such things. In the army camp, it was common for the strong to bully the weak. When she first entered the army camp, it was common for her to be robbed of her food. If it weren't for her comrades who pitied her and gave her a share of their food, she might have starved to death.

The military instructor in the army camp could prevent conflicts on the surface, but it was impossible to prevent such robberies in the dark. Moreover, she was too weak at that time. She was so weak that even the military instructor didn't care about her, let alone uphold justice for her. Later on, when she became strong, no one dared to rob her of her food. Later on, when she became the commander, she ordered her recruits to never rob others of their food or bully the weak. Once discovered, they would be punished by military order.

Who would have thought that after her rebirth, she would encounter the same thing again? But this time, she was no longer the new recruit who trembled with fear and didn't dare to voice out her grievances. Even if Hong Shan and Shi Tou didn't appear just now, it would be more than enough for her to teach this scar-faced man a lesson.

"That man is Wang Ba," Hong Shan said. "He used to be a bandit, but I don't know how he ended up joining the army. He's the fiercest one among Liang Jiaotou's subordinates. I heard from others that this kind of person kills people like flies. Today, you provoked him, and he holds a grudge in his heart. In the future, he'll definitely cause trouble for you. Shi Tou and I can't be by your side every day. If he takes advantage of any loopholes … your life will be very difficult. "

"I can't just accept that he robbed me of my food. Brother Shan, you have to believe that if he robbed me once, there will be a second time. If he comes to rob me every day, how can I live? "He Yan said." There's no such thing as unfair in the world. "

"Nothing in the world is fair." The one who spoke was the usually taciturn Shi Tou. He looked at He Yan and gently shook his head. It seemed that he didn't agree with her actions. "You're too impulsive."

"If there's no fairness, then fight for it yourself. If you can't fight for fairness because you're too weak, then work hard to become stronger." He Yan smiled. "If the fist is the law here, then let him come to me. I promise … I'll let him know what fairness is."

The young man spoke in a relaxed manner. His expression was calm, and there seemed to be a faint smile in his clear eyes. The wind blew, making his hair tie flutter. He didn't look like a soldier, but like a young master parading on the streets of the capital. She wanted to tease him by saying, "Newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers." But when she met his eyes, she couldn't say it.

Was it really true that newborn calves aren't afraid of tigers?

He was confident and didn't seem to be reckless.

Shi Tou and Hong Shan didn't say anything else. The two accompanied He Yan to the bottom of the tree. Xiao Mai knew that He Yan's meat bun was stolen. She felt that it was a pity, but in the end, she clumsily comforted him. "It's okay, A He Ge. We'll be able to go up the mountain in a few days. I'll make a few slingshots to shoot birds, or a few traps to catch rabbits. When the time comes, we'll eat wild game. It's much better than the meat in the meat bun!"

He Yan couldn't help but laugh. After finishing the porridge in the bowl, she leaned against the tree trunk and rested her head with her hands behind her head.

The sun lazily shone down, and there was a rare moment of coolness under the tree. She closed her eyes, and her mind was in a whirl.

Although it was a pity to lose a meat bun, she didn't have to be so calculative about it. When the army was marching to war, sometimes the soldiers' pay couldn't keep up, and they were forced to defend the city. Not to mention meat bun, not to mention vegetable porridge. Sometimes, they even had to eat tree bark and grass. The worst time was when she ate Guanyin clay. She ate until her stomach was bloated, and she risked her life to defend the city.

Compared to that time, she was already very happy.

But … the wind blew past her cheeks. He Yan curled up the corners of her mouth. If she guessed correctly, it would take at most five days. After five days, the skill training would begin. Some people would be assigned to be the vanguard. With her current physical strength, she probably had the qualifications to participate in the skill training. But, how could she prove her worth in the shortest time possible and prove that she was qualified to join the vanguard?

This was a problem.
