Luojia Village, seventy miles south of Chang'an City, is where Han Wuxin lives.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful.

It's a pity that Han has no heart and doesn't understand the appreciation.

When I came back from Chang'an City, it was already the middle of the night.

Seeing the faint candlelight of the house from a distance, it was very obvious in the rainy night, and Han Wuxin showed a trace of surprise.

That kid didn't even sleep?

The yard was unlocked, and it looked like the kid was really waiting for him.

When the horse was tied, I heard a "thud" inside the house, as if something had fallen to the ground.

"Xiaobai, if you don't want to read it, you won't read it, why are you angry?"

"That's easy! When that guy comes back, it's not like he's going to test my art of war strategy! I just can't figure it out, I'm a country boy, what's the use of learning these messy military book formations? If you really want me to be famous all over the world, you might as well teach me more cultivation methods and let me go out and explore. What can you do by locking me up here all day? ”

"Xiaobai, Uncle Han doesn't want to take care of you for the rest of your life......"

"Aluo, don't always speak for him! He just wants me to stay here for the rest of my life, mediocre ......"

"Bump!"

The sound in the room disappeared due to the sound of the door being pushed, and Han Wuxin walked in and glanced at the young men and girls in the room.

The boy was very thin, and his fair face was a little sickly pale, as if he was congenitally deficient.

But he was only sixteen years old, but he was already as tall as a pine. But because of this, it is like a bamboo pole, and if the wind is stronger, it will be blown away.

At this moment, he was dressed in coarse green clothes, with an angry face on his face, arguing with the woman next to him.

But the woman had a smile on her face, and she didn't look angry at all.

A dress of emerald green and a pair of big eyes finally calmed down the anger of the young man.

Han Wuxin withdrew his gaze and looked at the book lying on the ground.

"Shanguang Handbook"!

His eyes twitched, and he finally bent down to pick up the book and carefully wiped it with his sleeve.

"You want to go out and explore?"

Luo Bai was stunned for a moment, and said indignantly: "What's the use of wanting?" Will you let me out? ”

Han Wuxin's temper is not good, and he didn't beat Luo Bai less in the past.

Hearing that Luo Bai dared to talk back, Ah Luo immediately pulled his sleeve and whispered, "Little Bai ......"

Han Wuxin stopped her and said, "Ah Luo, you go back first." ”

Ah Luo wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Han Wuxin: "Where's your golden knife?" ”

Ah Luo was shocked, and said in a daze: "Uncle Han, you ......"

"Let's go back......"

Hearing the word golden knife, Ah Luo could no longer pay attention to Luo Bai, and left the house in despair.

Golden knives?

Looking at the soulless Ah Luo, Luo Bai frowned secretly. When she left, he asked, "What's wrong with Arlo?" ”

Han Wuxin pointed to the chair and motioned for him to sit down.

"You'd love to get out of here?"

Luo Bai asked rhetorically, "Will you let me leave?" ”

When he spoke, Luo Bai was very helpless.

Since Han Wuxin brought him and A Luo here eight years ago, he hasn't even been out of this small Luojia Village.

He had long heard from the adults in the village that the imperial capital of Chang'an, dozens of miles away, was so prosperous that the shops on the streets were bigger than the village. and the woman with light makeup, all of them are the same as in the painting. If you can touch it, you are willing to live a few years less.

These words made Luo Bai's heart feel like a cat scratching.

He secretly ran out once, but the village didn't see it, so he was caught and beaten by Han Wuxin, and he didn't get out of bed for five days.

"Yes."

Just when his thoughts were flying all over the sky, the silent Han Wuxin spit out an answer that surprised him.

Yes? What does that mean?

But Han Wuxin quickly gave him an answer.

I only heard a "bang", and something was still on the table.

Luo Bai hesitated to open it, and the three blood-red characters of "Conscription Order" were displayed in front of him.

Conscription order?

Luo Bai suddenly had an ominous premonition.

After reading the above text, he was silent for a long time, and then he spoke: "You said that I can leave, is this what you mean?" ”

Han Wuxin could hear Luo Bai's refusal.

After eight years of living in an isolated village, I suddenly told you that I was going to war, and anyone would resist.

Han Wuxin sat down and placed the book on the table.

"The army sent by the imperial court to attack the rebels in Gangnam Province failed, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole army was annihilated. Once the rebels continue to move north, Chang'an City will no longer be Chang'an. ”

In a few words, I will make the situation outside the village clear.

Luo Bai's eyes shook slightly.

He wasn't interested in national affairs, but if it did, how could he be left alone?

Fold the conscription order and put it on the table, and he sat aside.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Luo Bai wanted to leave, and he always wanted to leave.

But he never thought it would be this way.

Drafted into the army?

As long as he is afraid of blood, he doesn't meet the conditions, right?

Perhaps feeling that Luo Bai should be given a little time to think about it, Han Wuxin got up and said, "The imperial court recruits soldiers to form a champion battalion, if you want to leave here, this is your only chance." ”

"Tomorrow morning, tell me the answer."

The sound of the dripping rain sounded outside the house, and Luo Bai looked at the raindrops dripping from the eaves with a little distraction.

He doesn't have any memories of when he was eight years old.

His first memory was that Han Wuxin took him and A Luo from a place full of yellow sand to Luojia Village, and then lived for eight years.

In the past eight years, everything he has experienced seems to have been deliberately taught to him by Han Wuxin.

His name, his knowledge, and even his character were all deliberately shaped by Han Wuxin.

But he is an independent individual after all, not a puppet puppet tied with mud and paper in someone else's hand. He wanted to leave, he wanted to see the prosperous Chang'an, the vast grassland, and the magnificent Daxia rivers and mountains.

Perhaps, that was the life he wanted.

Looking at the conscription order, Luo Bai's eyes became colder and colder.

In the army, or continue to stay here, this is the question.

The night's work passed quickly.

The three crows of the rooster are the sound of sunrise labor.

When Ah Luo opened the door to cook, he was surprised to find that the young man who practiced martial arts in the yard every morning was standing with his chest huddled up today.

Looking at Luo Bai, whose face was pale and his lips were purple, Ah Luo threw down the basin in his hand, trotted over, hugged Luo Bai, who was cold, and cried: "Why are you here?" Why don't you go in? ”

As if hearing a clear sound in the dark, Luo Bai's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.

In the blurred vision, he saw the appearance of Alo Pear Flower with rain, and wanted to grin, but he couldn't laugh: "I'm thinking about things......"

When he said this, he felt cold and unbearable, and he trembled again.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Arlo wanted to help him into the house.

As soon as he took two steps, a cold voice came from in front of him: "Go cook, I'll take care of him." ”

Ah Luo wanted to say something, but Han Wuxin had already handed over the basin: "Go, it's okay." ”

Looking at the basin and then at Luo Bai, who was speechless, Ah Luo wiped away her tears and smiled reluctantly at Han Wuxin: "Uncle Han, I have been in the Xia Dynasty for eight years, but I am still not used to the food here. You said Golden Knife yesterday, are we going back to Shazhou? ”

Shazhou?

The yellow sand falls, the eagle flies, the beacon fire is thousands of miles away, and the bright moon shines on the silver cup.

Huqin sinks, Qiang tube is slight, wolf smoke is thousands of miles away, drinking Mahan seawater.

In this life, I don't know if I will have the opportunity to drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl with those iron-blooded brothers.

He couldn't help but think of the Mo knife he treasured, it should be rusty after years of not being used, right?

Thinking of this, a trace of remorse flashed in his eyes: back then, why was I chosen?

"When are you going to give him your golden sword?"

Ah Luo looked at Luo Bai, who had passed out but was still standing, and said with a light smile: "I have to ask my father to put a gravel wreath on me, right?" Otherwise, it's too informal. ”

Han Wuxin laughed: "There will be that day." Your father, and my brothers, will bless you. ”

Arlo turned around and went into the house, ready to cook.

Looking at Luo Bai, who was trembling all over, but still standing upright, a trace of relief flashed in Han Wuxin's eyes, but more than that, he was spoiled.

But the next moment, he kicked out and kicked Luo Bai three feet away.

Luo Bai woke up in an instant, and the cold pain all over his body stimulated him, making him quickly recognize the situation in front of him.

He stood up and looked at Han Wuxin who was walking towards him: "Are you crazy?" ”

Ah Luo stood secretly at the door, revealing half of her little face, looking at such a miserable Luo Bai, covering her mouth and nose, refusing to cry.

Han Wuxin was stunned: "You're awake, right?" ”

Luo Bai was just about to answer, but suddenly the sky was spinning and he was about to fall to the ground.

Han Wuxin stepped forward, kicked him against the wall, and fell down again.

This time, Luo Bai didn't get up.

He coughed lightly, and blood was all over the floor.

The eyes that were originally wide immediately became frightened: "Blood! Blood! ”

He squatted on the ground, using his hands and feet together, and kept back.

"Blood! Blood! ”

No one paid attention to him, Ah Luo looked at the panicked Luo Bai, and finally left ruthlessly.

"You're sixteen years old, and you're an adult. Why, when you encounter something, you still want to rely on others to help you? ”

Han Wuxin walked over, and with another kick in his face, Luo Bai rolled to the other side.

The ground was covered with mud, and after several rolls, his body was already covered with muddy water, covering his face.

Han Wuxin walked up to Luo Bai, grabbed his hair, pressed his face against the mud stained red with blood, and said indifferently: "Look, I'm not afraid of blood, and Ah Luo is not afraid either, so it can be seen that this thing is nothing to fear." So why are you afraid? Why be afraid? ”

His hand slammed into the muddy water.

"Eat clean! Remember, it's your own blood. If you want to survive on the battlefield, the first thing you have to remember is that blood cannot be shed in vain! ”

"Eat it!"

Luo Bai was already groggy, his eyes were covered with mud, and he could only look at the things in front of him vaguely.

It was a dark red.

He opened his mouth and struggled to eat the bloody mud.

"Whoop Woohoo ......"

In his ears, in addition to the sound of his own heavy breathing, only the cold voice of Han Wuxin remained.

But he couldn't hear anything.

He wanted to catch Han Wuxin, but his body was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to speak.

When he was kicked out again by Han Wuxin, he hit the wall and fell.

The rain was still falling, like a curtain covering the sky.

Luo Bai finally woke up, struggled to sit up, leaned against the courtyard wall, and looked at Han Wuxin in front of him.

But the blood on his head and the mud and sand on his face obscured his vision, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

The raindrops grew heavier, washing his hair and the mud and blood from his face.

Han Wuxin did not move.

"You...... Isn't it...... Don't want to...... Let me go? Then shoot ...... Kill me! ”

Listening to Luo Bai's heart-rending roar, Han Wuxin did not answer.

They looked at each other until Ah Luo called them to eat, and Han Wuxin didn't speak.

"You go to the army!"
