Chapter 102: Faith
The rain continued for three days and did not stop until the 27th. Then the weather did not clear, but gloomy, and at this time, the temperature in Jinguan already had a bit of autumn flavor.
General Lee's pot helmet business began to improve.
But with "The Art of War", although he has been getting up early and selling pot helmets and selling pot helmets, he has put most of his energy on studying "The Art of War". He even reads a book until one or two o'clock in the morning, and sometimes he doesn't want to affect the rest of the hotel guests in the same room, so he will stay at the front desk all the time and go back to the room to rest very late.
But he has always been in good spirits, so Cheng Yun didn't say anything about him, but instead lent him the old mage an artifact that stayed up all night to brush the question-the card.
Saturday, September 30th.
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Cheng Yun took a nap, and when he got up, he felt as if his brain had been filled with lead, and he was drowsy.
He washed his face, sat on a wicker chair on the balcony, and was stunned.
The clouds outside are cloudy, and you can't see the blue sky, but it's also a different taste. The wind had been blowing for a few days, and the green vegetation on both sides of the street had rained off a lot of leaves, and there were sparse birds flying in the sky.
He couldn't help but think of the sky in his dream.
The sky in General Lee's world was so blue that it made people yearn for it, but the ground was a mess.
He still remembered a little about the dream, but he forgot it after a while.
In the last years of Meichuan Youren, this country that had been in turmoil for many years finally ushered in a short period of peace, and General Li also successfully discharged his armor and returned to his hometown. The money given to him from above to settle down and the idleness of a satellite city around the capital is already very tolerant, if he goes back a few decades, he will definitely not be able to unload his armor so easily-after all, the imperial court has invested a lot in him, and it is impossible for him to retire from the army if he wants to. And he has the power of runes, and letting him go home is like throwing a goat that has turned into a tiger back into the flock.
General Li accepted the money and was grateful to the imperial court, but gave up the easy and comfortable errand and returned to the city where he had lived for nearly ten years to make a new living.
General Li also did a lot of work and also sold baked cakes for a while. A matchmaker saw that he was tall and handsome, and although his family background was not good, at least he was honest and diligent, so he was ready to say a family affair for him.
I heard that the other party is a very beautiful girl, although her parents died when she was a child, but she can play the piano and sing music, and she also brings a rich dowry, which is very rare in this era.
General Li also agreed with a smile.
He really had the idea of starting a family at that time.
General Li had seen the girl, and it was similar to what the matchmaker said, although it was a little dusty, it was well hidden, and the two of them could talk very well.
He thought that he could spend this life in such an ordinary way - he had a solid and stable job to do, and he didn't have to worry about when he would die under the enemy's guns, he had a house that could shelter from the wind and rain, instead of the big tent full of damp smell on the battlefield, and there was a woman who was willing to live with him, as long as she was down-to-earth, he didn't mind what kind of past she had......
But he didn't know, and no one even knew, that beneath this apparent calm was brewing a catastrophe that was about to sweep the world!
Finally, here they are!
They look different from people like General Li, they are stronger, they are more irritable, but they calmly fight every battlefield, advancing step by step!
Their world is on the verge of destruction, and they have to choose to invade General Lee's world and become enemies of the natives of this world. They knew that they would bring destruction to the world, so they never thought of living peacefully with the natives of this world, and they never wanted to leave room after the war.
They descended to the west, and the mighty Burning Dynasty was directly destroyed, and then they quickly advanced eastward!
The world is in chaos!
The calm of Mingchuan was vulnerable to such an impact, and even though the war was far from spreading, the chaos in the country was already beginning to emerge when a catastrophe was imminent.
General Lee hesitated.
By this time he had become acquainted with the girl, and perhaps it would be time to discuss the marriage after a while. He thought that the girl was not bad, she could do needlework, and she was also a thrifty householder, and she was a person who lived a good life. They were very kind to him, and they made him a pair of shoes, and if he decided to put on his armor again, he would be a loser.
While General Lee was wavering, he heard the news of the girl's death, and the matchmaker came to inform him.
Someone knew that she had hidden a sum of money in her house and lived alone, so he took advantage of the night to break in the window, killed her, and swept away the money. Because the girl was really unaccompanied, the government asked a matchmaker to find him.
General Li took the girl's sleek body back for burial, and was silent at home alone for a long time. During this time, the chaos of the country gradually intensified with the approach of the alien army, and the whole world became a complete chaotic era.
Robbery, homicide, rape...... Atrocities are on the rise.
General Li walked on the street and encountered a group of thugs who robbed women, and that time he was furious, and he opened fire on the spot, then shaved his hair and broke his hair, and reported to the official to put on his armor and left!
He swore that he would put an end to this troubled world!
This road was undoubtedly very difficult, and General Lee did not play a large role in the entire battlefield, for example, on the western front before he came to Earth, there were hundreds of generals like him who led a legion. But he never let it discourage him. This goal will be his lifelong faith, and he will continue to walk with courage and faith until this troubled world is completely ended.
……
Cheng Yun was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses.
In all fairness, the life of Lady Yin is far less than the impact of General Li's life on his soul, and even the experience of the old man's thousands of years of magnificent and transcendent sainthood is not as intuitive as the impact of General Li's short first half of his life!
He washed his face before going downstairs.
The front desk is as always, the concise decoration and Tang Qingying sitting in the front desk playing with his mobile phone, and Cheng Yan sitting on the sofa with his head down and reading a book constitute a very ordinary picture, which quickly pulled him back from the troubled times and the battlefield!
Cheng Yun breathed a sigh of relief and greeted Tang Qingying, "Yu Dian and Yin Dan went out?"
"Hmm. Tang Qingying nodded.
"Oh. Cheng Yun also nodded, "They should be allowed to go out again tomorrow, the National Day is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there must be many merchants who will discount and promote." ”
"Really?" Tang Qingying blinked twice.
At this time, Cheng Yan said silently: "It doesn't matter, many merchants have started promotions today." ”
"Huh?" Cheng Yun's face showed a hint of joy, "You've already gone to buy clothes?"
"No, I'm waiting for you to go out with me. Cheng Yan said lightly, "It's just that I have experience in the past, and I haven't been in vain for more than ten years before!"
"......Forehead" Cheng Yun's face stiffened, afraid that Cheng Yan would ask him to accompany her out to buy clothes again, so he walked out quickly.
General Li's huge body sat on a small plastic bench, as if shrunk into a ball, he was wearing a navy blue shirt and a pair of old-fashioned trousers, and he was holding "The Art of War" with his head down.
But Cheng Yun was still able to connect the two of them.
"Do you want to go back and fight?"
"Huh?" General Lee said, looking up at the voice, "if the war is not over, of course." ”
"No wonder I worked so hard to read the military book. ”
"It's good to be prepared. ”
"A book of war alone is not enough for you to win that war, right?" Cheng Yun had the impression that the group of aliens was terrifyingly strong, and they were almost blind at first, until they were halfway down the world, and they were slightly weakened because of the away battle. It is precisely because of this that the people of General Lee's world were able to build a united front against it. He felt that a military book alone could not save this emergency, no matter how great it was.
"Yes. General Li nodded in affirmation, but still holding the book and looking at it, after a pause, he said, "So we also need food, weapons, and a belief in victory." ”
"Looks like you've got a plan. Cheng Yun smiled and nodded, General Li is a person who has both great perseverance and knows how to figure out slowly, which really makes him admire.
"No!" General Li suddenly raised his head when he heard this, stared at him, and said very seriously, "I still need your advice and help from the stationmaster." ”
"That's easy to say. Cheng Yun said lightly.
