Not long after, more than half of the people registered, and more than fifty people were selected.
"No, please, accept me! Please."
A boy of sixteen or seventeen, who looked skinny and sallow, as if he could be blown by a gust of wind, kept kowtowing on the ground, begging the army to take him in.
Wang Xiaoniu looked at the boy, as well as his elderly parents and younger siblings behind him, and felt compassion, but he quickly suppressed it.
"You are in poor health and your chances of surviving on the battlefield are slim. Don't die in vain."
The young man was so weak that even if he went to the battlefield, he would only kill the enemy. He would definitely die. If he stayed, he might still have a chance to survive.
"Sir, I am very strong. Please give me a chance. I will fight the enemy bravely and will never be held back."
The young man refused to give up, holding Wang Xiaoniu's thigh and begging hard.
The family has been without food for several days. If there is no more food, the family will starve to death.
Joining the army and receiving money and food is the family's only hope for survival.
Wang Xiaoniu was unmoved and was about to pull his feet away, but his expression changed the next moment.
He thought he could easily pull his foot out, but his foot seemed to be welded by molten iron and could not be pulled out for a while.
Wang Xiaoniu was worried about hurting the boy at first, so he didn't dare to use force.
But as he gradually gained strength, the young man still hugged his feet tightly, and would not let go even if there was cold sweat on his forehead.
"Are you born with divine power?"
Wang Xiaoniu stopped exerting force and looked at the young man with burning eyes.
You must know that he is in the middle stage of the Bone Forging Realm. Even some burly and strong men cannot keep his feet, but the weak young man in front of him can actually hug him, which makes Wang Xiaoniu very surprised.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Wang Xiaoniu couldn't help but think of Li Xuancang. Perhaps this young man, like Li Xuancang, is a person born with supernatural powers.
Wang Xiaoniu lowered his head and asked, "What's your name?"
The young man hurriedly replied, "Sir, my name is Bai Meng."
Wang Xiaoniu nodded slightly and said, "I accept you, you can let go."
Hearing this, Bai Meng was ecstatic, and hurriedly let go of Wang Xiaoniu's thigh, kowtowing on the ground.
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir..."
Wang Xiaoniu supported him and said, "Get up!"
The accompanying soldiers gave the grain and money to Bai Meng, and he gave them all to his family.
The whole family focused on food and money, and soon burst into tears.
Not long after, the recruitment was completed and a total of seventy-five people joined the army.
When the group returned to the military camp, it was already dusk.
Bai Meng and others looked uneasy and followed closely behind Wang Xiaoniu.
Back at the military camp, the aroma of the food wafted over the air, and the hungry people swallowed subconsciously.
"Let's go! Go eat first."
Wang Xiaoniu is not as aloof as Hundred-Man Commander. Instead, he is approachable and takes everyone to dinner.
During this period of time, the food under Li Xuancang's command was good. Although he couldn't eat a lot of meat or drink a lot of wine, there was some meat and fish. This was already a very good treatment.
For these recruits from poor families, this is simply a sumptuous meal they can only eat during the Chinese New Year.
Soon, the food was brought out.
Boiled wild vegetables have some oil and water in them, and some stir-fried vegetables have some minced meat.
The rice was a mixture of brown rice and polished rice, which made Bai Meng and the others very hungry, but no one dared to do anything until Wang Xiaoniu opened his mouth.
"Sit down and eat, do you want me to feed you?"
Wang Xiaoniu laughed and cursed, and everyone quickly sat down and began to devour the food as if they hadn't eaten in several years.
Wang Xiaoniu is Hundred-Man Commander. He has his own separate meal and does not need to eat in a big pot with everyone. However, he likes to eat with everyone and rarely eats alone.
Everyone ate so much that they wanted to swallow their tongues.
After a while, everyone's stomachs were full from eating.
Everyone stopped, only Bai Meng was still eating.
All the dishes were eaten, but he didn't care. He wolfed down the rice and his stomach was like a bottomless pit.
One person had eaten more than four or five people, and everyone around him looked at him.
Feeling the attention of everyone, Bai Meng's face turned red, he stopped hastily, and looked at Wang Xiaoniu nervously.
He was worried that he would be kicked out by Wang Xiaoniu because he ate too much.
Wang Xiaoniu also looked at Bai Meng with a surprised look on his face. He didn't expect this young man to be so good at eating.
"Don't be nervous. It's a blessing to be able to eat."
Wang Xiaoniu noticed Bai Meng's uneasiness and comforted him softly.
"Eat! Eat as much as you can. Are we rich now?"
Wang Xiaoniu What he said is true. Everything they need now is provided by the government. If they don't have it, they can just pick it up. This treatment is the envy of others.
But there are only two hours. If you leave Peace Prefecture City, the government will only provide a fixed amount of food, weapons, and resources.
If you want to get more resources, you can only find a way on your own.
Because of this, many armies do things like killing people and stealing goods, killing good people and taking credit for their merits.
Hearing this, Bai Meng felt relieved, no longer timid, and opened his belly to eat.
"Come here, bring some food."
Wang Xiaoniu shouted, he wanted to see where Bai Meng's limit was.
Soon soldiers brought the dishes up, and Bai Meng ate even more enthusiastically. The people around him were stunned and shocked.
Bai Meng ate enough food for ten people, but even so, he showed no sign of being full.
"Sir, I'm full."
Bai Meng still has some unfinished ideas, and his eyes are full of expectations for the future.
This is the only time he has had enough to eat since he was a child.
He has been extremely strong since he was a child, and his appetite far exceeds that of superhuman beings. The family conditions are difficult, but he is also very sensible. He only eats a little at a time, and he has always been hungry since he was a child.
By joining the army, not only can you receive money and food, which can be sent home, but you can also have enough to eat. For Bai Meng, this place is simply paradise.
"Okay, take them down to collect military uniforms and weapons, and arrange accommodation for them."
Wang Xiaoniu asked the soldiers to take Bai Meng and others down to settle down.
"This matter needs to be reported to your lord."
Wang Xiaoniu thought deeply and decided to report the matter to Li Xuancang.
Maybe Wang Xiaoniu and Li Xuancang are the same kind of people, then he has found a treasure.
Bai Meng and others put on new military uniforms, all of them smiled happily, and their smiles never disappeared.
"I've never worn such nice clothes."
Some people's eyes were red, they had never been as happy as they were today.
You can have all you need to eat, have new clothes to wear, and the place you live in is much better than the dilapidated house with drafts from all sides.
"I must train hard and stay in the military."
"I want to go into battle to kill the enemy, make achievements, and let my family live a good life."
"This is my opportunity to change my destiny. I must seize it firmly."
"..."
Everyone is very ambitious, full of longing for the future, and secretly determined.
