Chapter 12 The head of the militia group
At the entrance of Lijia Village, Li Yun, who was close to his hometown, saw a woman looking at something from afar. He saw that it was his mother Wang. He hurriedly rushed over, grabbed his mother and said, "Mom, my son is back!" After speaking, I couldn't help but cry. Wang looked at the tall and sturdy Li Yun blankly, and said with some disbelief: "Is it really you?" You're my Yun'er, you're finally home! After speaking, he hugged Li Yun and cried.
The sloppy Taoist stepped forward to persuade him, and the mother and son easily stopped their tears. After the Wang family and the Taoist saluted, Li Yun helped his mother to the horse and walked home together. On the way, I met the villagers, and knew that it was Li Yun who came back, and congratulated the Wang family together, and someone had already rushed to report to Li Xiang's family. happened to be at home, and the family came out from afar. The two sides met again for a while, and then returned to the small courtyard surrounded by relatives and friends.
Wang was busy Zhang Luo sloppy Taoist and the others sat down together, and everyone sat together to drink tea and chat. I haven't seen each other for more than two years, Li Xiang and his wife are only a little old, but the three brothers and sisters of Li Yun have changed a lot. Li Yun is fifteen years old this year, long-term exercise has made his body develop faster, he is one meter eight tall, muscular but not bloated, his complexion is bronze because of long-term outdoor activities, and his long hair is tied back at will. Li Shi is also thirteen years old, he did not inherit the Li family's martial tradition, but loves to read, and is now a proud disciple of Mr. Mengxue. Li Rong is twelve years old this year, but she is a bit like a boy, she also likes martial arts, and she has learned well with the master in the village. When I saw the horse brought by my brother, I liked it abnormally, so I wanted to ride it and try it. "Lightning" dismissed, but the other horses did not refuse, and let Li Rong ride up and drive around the yard. The family laughed and talked about their experiences over the past few years, and they had a good time.
After a lively while, everyone dispersed, and the sloppy Taoist asked Li Yun to stay at home for a few days, and returned to the small temple on the mountain to live despite the stay. Li Yun accompanied Master up the mountain, cleaned the courtyard and the main hall, cleaned up the kitchen, fetched water to cook, and waited for Master to settle down before going home.
The family sat around again, eating a sumptuous meal and chatting about Li Yun's travels. Li Yun told his family what he had seen and heard along the way, the desert Gobi, the high mountains and Tianchi, the plateau dangerous peaks, the primeval dense forests, and the thrilling and exciting everywhere, and everyone listened to it as if they were fascinated and fascinated. Li Shi said: "Read 10,000 books, travel 10,000 miles, the ancients are honest and do not deceive me!" Li Yun said to his younger brother and sister, "In the future, when you grow up, you will also go out and have a look and increase your knowledge!" Li Xiang said to the children: "Yun'er, Shi and Rong'er, you have gradually grown up, the outside world is very exciting, you must go out!" It is impossible for an eagle to nest under the eaves, it is to soar in the vast sky! Although your parents can't go out, they are still old and healthy, so you don't have to worry, just go out! No matter what happens outside, whether it's success or failure, remember that this is your home and your parents will always support you! No matter how stormy it is, Mom and Dad will always be here waiting for you to come back! The three brothers and sisters were also in high spirits and in a surging mood.
Li Yun stayed at home for a few days, and after obtaining the master's consent, he also instructed his sister to practice martial arts. In addition to walking the dog every day, it is to continue to practice hard and never slack off.
One day, the village chief Li Gen came over, who was also the third uncle of Li Yun's own family, and wanted Li Yun to guide the militia training in the village.
It originally came from last year's cousin Huo Jianli's implementation of the new policy, changing the system, excluding old ministers, nepotism, political chaos, and aristocrats were even more dissatisfied with Huo Jian. In addition, due to the exorbitant taxation and natural disasters, many peasants have left their hometowns and become displaced people, and homeless riots have occurred in many places. Nanyang County is surrounded by Yunling Pass in the north and the Longjiang River in the south, coupled with fewer internal disasters, the people's lives are quite stable, and it is a relatively peaceful place, which has also led to a large influx of immigrants from all directions, especially Nanyang County, which has been overcrowded. With the influx of immigrants, bandits also began to appear, robberies occurred from time to time, and the problem of law and order became more and more prominent. In order to protect the territory and the people, the county guards ordered all counties, townships, and villages to set up militia groups of different scales to conduct intensive training in their spare time to defend themselves against bandits.
Lijia Village has always had a strong folk style, and a militia group was formed according to the order, with more than 30 young people training together. Originally, Li Gen served as the head of the regiment, but now that Li Yun is back, he heard that he is strong in martial arts, so he wants Xian to invite him to be the head of the regiment and lead the team in training. Li Yun listened to him explain the reason and his intention, so he said: "I can, but I will reply to my uncle after I have explained my parents and master." When Li Gen went back, Li Yun first told his parents about the village chief's intention, and Li Xiang agreed, saying: "You are a child of the Li family, now is a time of crisis, don't retreat!" There you go! Wang said, "Mom agrees!" Stay safe! Li Yun went up the mountain again to find the master, and the master also agreed after hearing about it. He said: "This is a test for you to lead your troops to war!" Then he took out a vest and said, "This vest is woven with silk mixed with gold silk, and it is invulnerable, so you can take it for self-defense!" Remember that the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated! Don't be careless! Li Yun kept it in mind.
Li Yun approached the village chief and expressed his willingness to serve as the head of the militia group. Li Gen was very happy and said, "You can prepare and gather at the threshing floor tomorrow morning after breakfast." ”
Early the next morning, Li Yun put on his equipment and came to the threshing floor at the edge of the village. I saw that more than 30 young people gathered on the threshing floor were practicing. Some are practicing knives, guns, sticks, and sticks, and some are practicing lifting stones. Li Gen greeted, "Assembled!" The crowd stood in two rows. Li Gen said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Li Yun of the Li Xiang family. Since he was a child, he followed the Taoists on the mountain to learn martial arts, and went out to travel for two years. I will now ask him to be the regimental commander and lead the training, and I will do the logistics support. After listening to the discussion, everyone seemed to have some disbelief in Li Yun. Seeing this situation, Li Yun said loudly: "As the head of the regiment, I must first convince everyone. Now if anyone is not convinced, he can challenge me, as long as he wins, he is the head of the regiment! When everyone heard this, they became excited, and this one said: "Brother Tiger, go!" The one said, "Brother Qing, go on!" The crowd coaxed and recommended two people to come forward to challenge.
Both of them are in their early twenties, strong in martial arts, and usually quite trusted by everyone. This tiger brother is called Li Hu, one meter eight five tall, with a big waist and a round waist, born with divine power, and once pulled a cow out of the quagmire. He made an iron rod in his hand, and no one dared to approach when he danced, he was really a brave general. This Qingge's name is Li Qing, he has a flexible brain, fast legs and feet, not only has a good marksmanship, but also is good at archery.
Li Hu walked forward and said to Li Yun: "Brother Yun, come on, let's practice!" "The sound is like a bell, and the momentum is extraordinary. Li Yun smiled, did not answer, and stood calmly, waiting for Li Hu to attack. Li Hu saw that Li Yun had no intention of making the first move, so he smashed at Li Yun with an iron rod. Li Yun did not fight back, but used footwork to dodge again and again, observing Li Hu's virtual reality. Li Hu saw that Li Yun only dodged and didn't fight, and he despised himself a little, so he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, roared, and split Huashan with one move, and slashed at Li Yun with all his strength. Li Yun saw it almost, his body turned ghostly, and he came to Li Hu's side, and with a spear, Li Hu only felt a strong force, and his hand couldn't hold it, and the sixty-pound stick flew out with a whin. The crowd was dumbfounded, and then applauded. Li Hu immediately clenched his fists and said, "I'm convinced!"
Li Qing took a step forward and said, "Brother Yun's martial arts are strong, I am also convinced!" I'll sacrifice my ugliness again, I want to see Brother Yun's archery! With that, let the people set up the target. Li Yun waved his hand and said, "Wait!" Shooting the target doesn't show our means, we shoot the target! So saying, he observed, and there was a flock of birds flying in the sky, and he said, "There is a flock of birds, and we will shoot three arrows at the same time, and see who shoots more wins!" The crowd applauded! The two stood still, drew their bows and arrows, and shot three arrows with a "whoosh". I saw the bowstring sound, and the birds fell to the ground. Everyone rushed to pick up the birds, and they were all surprised. It turned out that all six arrows had hit the birds, and three of the arrows had two small birds strung on each of them, and they turned out to be double hits with one arrow. The length of the arrows of the two is different, and there are small characters engraved on them, and it turns out that both of the arrows are Li Yun. The crowd couldn't help but shout, "Divine arrow!" Magic Arrow! It turned out that Li Yun intended to establish his authority, and in order to show his means, he used Xuangong, observed the details, and had a keen perception, so he could kill two birds with one stone. Li Qing bowed and saluted, and said: "Admire!" Today, I know that the real magic shoot! ”
Seeing that everyone was convinced, Li Yun said: "We are not only brothers of the same clan, but also comrades on the battlefield, and we must help each other in the future, live and die together!" Everyone shouted together: "Live and die together!" Live and die together! "The momentum was shocked. Li Yun saw that everyone's emotions were adjusted, and knew that these people were all usable people, and said: "The mission of our militia group is to protect our fathers and villagers!" Defend our hometown! Whoever dares to bully us, we will let him have no return! The crowd shouted again: "Defend your homeland!" Defend your hometown! ”
Li Yun also said, "To defend our hometown is to fight!" How to fight? To fight a war is to defeat the enemy and protect yourself! How can you defeat the enemy? It is necessary to rely on strict training in peacetime, sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime! ”
Li Yun did not rush to train, but let everyone show their kung fu and understand their strengths and weaknesses through everyone's drills. After everyone practiced what they were good at, Li Yun divided the team into three tithes according to the general army establishment and everyone's situation, with twelve people each. Li Yun served as the head of the regiment and concurrently served as the first Shi Shi chief; Li Hu served as the second chief of Shishi; Li Qing served as the third Shishi chief. One tithe and two corps, there is a deputy chief and two chiefs, and the deputy chief and the chief are selected by the chief. Because they were all familiar, the team was quickly formed.
Li Gen watched from the side for a while, and saw that Li Yun had won everyone's respect and trained in a very orderly manner, so he left satisfied. At this time, Li Rong ran to see the excitement and felt that it was interesting to participate in training. Li Yun really had no choice but to be entangled, so he asked Li Rong to be the head of the children's group, leading the children to train and sentry, and do auxiliary work. Li Rong went happily, everyone thought it was interesting, who knew that in the future, she would really take more than 20 and a half children to organize a children's group, train in style, and play a role in the later resistance to bandits. Later, she also became a female general, and she followed Li Yun to conquer the Quartet, and she was also famous.
