Chapter 11: The Invasion Twenty Years Ago

The atmosphere in the studio began to enter a sense of silence and depression. Both coaches have been speaking for a long time.

At this time, Yu Jianshu kicked down against the table with his feet, and because of the recoil, the front foot of the chair he was sitting on was off the ground, and he moved back tightly. Some words had been hidden in his heart for a long time, and he had wanted to say them for a long time.

"Sometimes I think about it......" But if he really spoke, Yu Jianshu was a little hesitant.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Li Yuan seemed to notice something strange, and he stared at Yu Jianshu, a work partner he had worked with for many years.

"Think ......"

When the two feet in front of the chair slammed into the ground fiercely, there was a loud 'pop' sound. Yu Jianshu straightened his sitting posture.

"What will we do if other countries invade us one day?"

For a moment, Li Yuan's expression froze. It is no longer a relaxed and comfortable appearance, but a serious face that is almost tense.

"You...... Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"

I saw that he kept looking at Yu Jianshu. However, each time the eye touches it, it takes less than a second, and it is almost like looking at it and immediately avoiding it.

"I ......" Yu Jianshu didn't know how to respond. He bit his lip lightly and leaned forward to the edge of the table, "Actually, this question has been on my mind for a long time. If all of a sudden other country invades us now, what are we going to defend it for?"

Li Yuan twitched his face: "What are you doing! Why do you want to do this? And no country wants to invade us?"

"Yes. Yu Jianshu's gaze froze, "For example, the Sauron Empire." ”

Li Yuan's body suddenly trembled. Although he tried his best to control it, it had little effect.

"Hey, hey!" he wanted to wave his hand. However, as soon as the arm was extended, the tremor became more and more intense. He had no choice but to give up and drooped, "Can you please not mention the name of this country!"

"I ...... It was just the name that suddenly came to mind. As he spoke, Yu Jianshu lowered his gaze, "But do you want to escape?"

"Not really. Li Yuan said in a heavy sentence. He propped his elbows on the table and quickly clutched his head, "I just don't want to hear the name of this country." ”

The Sauron Empire, a well-known name in Celos. But for the people of the Saran Kingdom, it was a living nightmare.

Li Yuan couldn't forget the invasion of the Sauron Empire more than twenty years ago. At the time, he was just a teenager. He had seen firsthand how the soldiers of Sauron had ravaged the land of Saran.

Running like iron hooves, billowing dusty smoke. A large number of expressionless Sauron soldiers rushed in, and they had devastated the people of the Saran border. And the soldiers of Saran on their side were completely vulnerable, slaughtered like lambs slaughtered one by one. There are corpses of people from their own country everywhere, and it looks like hell at a glance.

Li Yuan only felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and he couldn't stand this emotion and continued to block his chest. He slammed to his feet and ran to the window. Quickly opening the window, he took a deep breath at the outside world.

"Li Yuan. Yu Jianshu raised his head and stood up, and he took a few steps closer to Li Yuan.

"Don't tell me the name of the country. Really, don't say it. Li Yuan propped up the window with both hands, and his tone was almost pleading.

"I can't forget that aggression either. Yu Jianshu's jaw fluttered slightly, "My father died in that war. ”

Li Yuan swallowed his saliva: "Then you don't say it anymore." Never. ”

"But, Li Yuan...... We have to face it after all. ”

Li Yuan noticed that at this moment, Yu Jianshu no longer called him in the joking style of 'Coach Li Yuan, Coach Li Yuan'. Li Yuan raised his head suddenly, what he saw now was an endless blue sky.

"I remember when I was only thirteen years old, and when my parents went out to farm, they said to me at home, 'Come back and bring you a rock sugar gourd'. In the afternoon, however, we saw soldiers from that country invade our town. Then ......" Li Yuan subconsciously paused, his voice trembling, "Then I never saw my parents again, and they never came back." ”

Li Yuan suddenly felt a sour feeling spread around his eye frames. He immediately pursed his lips and lifted the head that was already looking at the sky even higher.

"Li Yuan. Yu Jianshu looked at his brother's back, his face full of sadness.

It seems that the Sarans who lived through that war will have an infinite fear of it. Even, the Sauron Empire has long been ingrained like a dream demon and has become a shadow in the hearts of every Saran.

"Li Yuan, I'm sorry. I'm not trying to dig into that old adulthood. But......" Yu Jianshu lowered his head, "just like I said before." If this country invades us again, Saran, and our side is full of such unsuccessful young people. A group of young people who can't even pass the beginner assessment of swordsmen and archers, a group of young people who can't be regarded as a minimum soldier, a group of young people who can't do anything well in a state of low desire. A long list of words was pulled out of Yu Jianshu's mouth. Eventually, he gasped feebly, "Then how are we going to resist the invasion?"

After a few abnormal waves, Li Yuan's mood can be regarded as stable.

"What else can we do?"

"Twenty years ago, our ancestors fought to the last drop of blood to finally defend the country. But what are we going to do now, and now it's worse than it was then?"

Li Yuan turned around, he stared at Yu Jianshu but didn't say a word.

"Actually, you and I both know that there was a lot of luck that time. But if I had to do it again, I don't think I would have been so lucky. I've heard from friends from other towns that the country is much stronger than it was more than 20 years ago. Yu Jianshu's tone also stabilized, "Their army even exceeds one million." And on the general's side, the whole of Sailos is famous for not being able to count it by hand. With such strength, if they really invade us one day, I guess we won't be able to resist it at all. So ......"

"So what?" Li Yuan said. He strolled over to his work desk, hesitated, and sat down anyway. It's just that the slightly heavy expression will fade a little, "So what the hell?"

"So if there really is an invasion...... We may be wiped out this time. ”

When Li Yuan heard the words 'destroy the country', his eyes stared straight ahead. After a few moments, he began to tremble violently. The destruction of the country is not trivial for him.

"Li Yuan. ”

Hearing Yu Jianshu shouting his name again, Li Yuan's eyes glanced over there.

"Actually, I still have a question in my mind. Yu Jianshu opened his mouth full of sadness, "If that country really comes one day, will you join the resistance? Or will it ...... Surrender?"

Li Yuan's eyes suddenly turned upward, and he seemed to be extremely surprised. At the same time, he also felt Yu Jianshu's staring gaze. Li Yuan tilted his head slightly and chose not to intersect with him.

"I don't know. Don't ask me this kind of question, I, Li Yuan, am just a humble mid-level swordsman. No matter what I do, whether it's resistance or surrender, how much impact does it have on the outcome of the war?"

At that moment, Yu Jianshu showed a rather disappointed look. However, he didn't blame Li Yuan much. Because Yu Jianshu himself hides this idea of escape.

The Sauron Empire was invincible to Saran.

Then, the atmosphere entered a long silence, and the whole workshop was shrouded in an oppressive fog.

Needless to say, Li Yuan also looked like he was bowing his head and meditating. Perhaps thinking that it was not possible to drag on like this, Yu Jianshu slowly moved to his desk.

Suddenly, he straightened up and clutched his head violently. "Oh yes, look at me, what a pot I can't open!" he grinned, "and no country wants to invade us." Why am I making assumptions here?"

Li Yuan was a little wooden at first, but after about a few tens of seconds, after a little consideration, he also entered into the cooperation.

"Yes, don't you understand what you're thinking about?" Li Yuan tilted his head and crossed his arms to hug him, "People would have invaded a long time ago, how could they have to wait for another twenty years! He then burst into a 'bright' smile. It's just that he himself feels that the smiling face is so stiff.

"Alright, alright. Let's talk about something fun, like tomorrow's outskirts quiz. ”

"What's so fun about that. It's also a belly of fire when it is mentioned, and it is impossible for any student to pass anyway. ”

"Oh! Why do you talk like that!"

"I'm telling the truth. They can't even cut down dummies, so how dare they cut down any wild beasts! I guess they'll go out into the forest outside the town for a walk, and then come back with nothing to do. ”

The atmosphere in the studio seemed to be revitalized again, but in fact, the nerves of the two coaches were not relaxed at all. They smirked as hard as they could, trying to hide the uneasiness in their hearts.

"Still don't say that. Isn't it possible that because those children are about to be assessed, they all woke up one by one and suddenly tried seriously again?"

"Hmph!" Li Yuan was made to rise and fall his shoulders with laughter, "How is it possible? It's not the first time you've known them. ”

"Don't talk so deadly, maybe they really get along!" Yu Jianshu squinted and wiped the lower half of his face.

It was also the same squint that happened to be aimed at the clock hanging on the wall. It shows that it's almost four o'clock.

"Oh, it's already so late!" Yu Jianshu patted his head, "I only cared about chatting with you, and I forgot about serious things." ”

Li Yuan only thought it was funny. "What serious are you doing!"

"Didn't I tell you when I first came in! I'm going to prepare the bows and arrows of the cadets, just in case any of the brainless people forget. With that, Yu Jianshu was ready to rush out of the door.

"You're really in charge!"

Li Yuan said casually. But it was just this sentence that Yu Jianshu suddenly stopped. He froze at first, and then slowly turned towards Li Yuan.

"That's right, Coach Li Yuan. There's a question I'd like to ask?"

"What's wrong?"

"Remember you just said an example, right?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but blink his eyes blankly. He had talked about so many topics with Yu Jianshu before, and Li Yuan had long forgotten which specific example it was.

"Remember you just said an example. It's just that there is a child from a single-parent family in your swordsman class, and his mother is still looking for you in private, hoping that you can help his son. ”

After Yu Jianshu said this, Li Yuan remembered that he really said this example.

"Well, yes, what's wrong?" Li Yuan seemed to be very surprised, his eyes widened.

Yu Jianshu immediately lowered his head, revealing a thoughtful and meditative look, he also reached out to pinch his earlobe, and took a few steps forward, "Then can you tell me what the child's name is?"

"Huh?" Li Yuan was suddenly stunned.

"What's his name?"

Faced with Yu Jianshu's repeated questions, Li Yuan's eyes widened. From time to time, the eyeballs in the orbit collide in it, sometimes in the corner of the left eye, and then in the corner of the right eye.

However, no matter how he thinks about it, Li Yuan just can't remember what the name of the child from the single-parent family is, and only vaguely remembers that the name seems to have a 'feather' in the name.

What the hell is it? Li Yuan scratched his cheek, and his mouth opened wide unconsciously.

"You can't remember, do you?" Yu Jianshu reminded.

"Ahh What's his name? Oops...... I can't remember. ”

"Well, I can't remember the name!" Yu Jianshu first stated smoothly. After that, he touched his chin with his hand as if he was in some deep thought. "You just said that you are actually very responsible, and the reason why you are so passive in teaching trials today is because of the students. But......" Yu Jianshu slowly narrowed his eyes, "but when they have been coaching for almost two years, why can't you even remember the name of one of the children?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly glanced at Li Yuan, "It is said that there are only about fifty academies in the swordsman class! It shouldn't be difficult to remember the name of a student in two years!"

Li Yuan was a little overwhelmed, and he craned his neck as if he had lost his soul.

"So, Coach Li Yuan, you said so excitedly before, blaming everything now on the students themselves, as if you have no problem at all, isn't that a bit ......?"

Li Yuan stood up suddenly: "You...... You ......"

Seeing this, Yu Jianshu immediately made a push: "Hey, hey, don't get excited, don't get excited." I'm just confiding in my doubts. ”

"Are you grasping me?" Perhaps to alleviate the embarrassment, Li Yuan tried his best to make a stiff smirk.

"No, no. I'm just skeptical of what you said. Maybe you, Coach Li Yuan, are really tired, so you can't remember the name of a student temporarily. ”

Yu Jianshu hooked the corners of his mouth with malicious intent. He was going to go to the door. But before leaving, he stopped and turned his head.

"By the way. You'd better hurry up and find a woman to start your own family!, don't keep playing like this!" He looked so triumphant.

"Cut, do you want to take care of it?"

"I'm just a reminder to my friends!"

"You're so good at work, why don't you think about yourself!"

"Oh, what's wrong with me?" Yu Jianshu stood at the door and turned around completely. He looks like he's going to stay for a long time.

"Don't you spend some time with your family! Also, I remember you said some time ago that men are tired of having a family!"

Li Yuanzhi said this, mainly because a few months ago, Yu Jianshu was drunk and talked about the trivial matters of the family.

Yu Jianshu quickly patted his head, "Oh! You're right! It's time for me to spend some time with my wife and daughter." I'll take them to a restaurant for a good meal!"

"Take me?" Li Yuan raised his arm, a thief's smile on his face.

"Aren't you active?" Yu Jianshu tilted his head, "A woman in the town!"

"Oh! Why are you saying this again! I've told you, no!"

"If you don't, you won't have it!" Yu Jianshu spread out his hands. But soon, he clasped his arms again, "I think you just need to have a family to control your wildness!"

"Alas, don't mention this kind of annoying thing, where do I need a family to contain my heart! If I really have a family, don't I have to think about this and that of my family?"

"Don't exaggerate, with a family you can enjoy the company of your family to the fullest. ”

"But there are troublesome things, like that or something...... Ahh Didn't you say last time that you wanted your daughter to take the exam as a doctor in the future?" Li Yuan pointed sharply at Yu Jianshu, "What's wrong with thinking about it now?"

"Hey, don't mention it!" Yu Jianshu instantly showed a look of embarrassment, "I have this intention, but I don't have the strength! If I send my daughter to another town, it will cost a lot of money! At least I can't afford it now!"

"So that means that like the children of this town, you can choose between a swordsman and an archer?"

"This hasn't been decided yet, anyway, I will find a way to try to let my daughter enjoy better trial resources. But then again, it's still early! My princess is only eight years old now, and it's a bit too hasty to think about what will happen in ten years. ”

"It's not a hurry! Now some rich people have a famous saying, that is: 'Don't let your child lose at the starting line'. So, they threw the child into the proving ground early. ”

"But those are all children of rich families! We are all civilians!" Yu Jianshu said helplessly. He quickly took a deep breath, "Okay, I won't say much about it." I'm leaving!"

"Well, let's go!" Li Yuan deliberately beckoned.

"You don't need to pretend to say goodbye!" Yu Jianshu twitched the corners of his mouth, and he turned around and walked out the door.

At this time, Yu Jianshu really had to leave. Seeing him disappear outside the door, Li Yuan shook his eyes angrily.

"This dead Yu Jianshu, why did you have nothing to mention which girl I was chasing, don't you understand the truth of seeing through it and not telling it?" Li Yuan breathed out of thin air.

It's just that as time passed, Li Yuan gradually completely blocked his face.

If not for anything else, he was thinking about a question:

Is it true that the Sauron Empire will invade them again and Saran?
