Chapter 20 Conscription Order (I)

Time flies by when you're not paying attention, and it's been nearly a month since Witt practiced archery at the shooting range in Joey's backyard. The people of Fesdena are still those people, the property is still those things, and not much has changed in the village, except for the occasional rumor that a certain villager in the village has been killed by bandits in the field; Whoever in the village killed the thieves late at night; Whose livestock were stolen from whom, etc., these things have been heard of on a daily basis, but recently they seem to have become more frequent, and it is even rumored that the butler's caravan has lost its news not far from Feysd, which Witt has heard from the clever ghost Joey, and not many people in the village know about it.

But it was none of his business, and Witt didn't care, listening to old Danny's teachings, and trying not to go too far outside the village so as not to be in danger. On weekdays, Witt helps old Danny chop wood early in the morning, and old Danny will tell Witt about his military life, and sometimes when he is interested, he will also teach Witt a few practical techniques of axe melee combat, which can make Witt happy. The ten bundles of firewood he had promised old Danny had already been settled in the first two days, and he could have left at any time. But after getting along for a long time, Witt found that old Danny was a kind and lonely old man, but he didn't lose his toughness, and he was reluctant to leave him unconsciously, and he couldn't help but spend half a day there every day to chop wood for old Danny and listen to his stories.

In addition to chopping wood, Witt did not leave behind the archery skills that Joey had taught. Every day after chopping chaiwit, he would go to Joey's to eat and practice archery, and occasionally Pei Joey would go out hunting. Although Joey was still the main hunter, Witt also slowly learned the art of shooting at moving targets during the hunt. A single hunt can make the three of them eat for a day or two, and sometimes if you are lucky, you can get a reindeer, and you can't eat it for a few days and nights, so the three of them don't worry about the source of food, maybe that's why Witt has always hoped to become a hunter one day.

It has to be said that Witt has become more and more of a hunter, although it is still difficult to shoot in the face of moving beasts when hunting, but at a distance of 30 meters from the training range, he can still shoot at a relatively stable static grass target, of course, only a grass target. This is inseparable from Wittur's tireless efforts over the past month. God will not be worthy of every smart person, but it is definitely worthy of every person who has worked hard.

It's been more than a month since Emia's father died, and Wittjoy has been helping her get out of her inner shadow and help her rebuild her confidence to live. I have to say that the two teenagers still did a good job, so that the material foundation and spiritual foundation can play an important support, so that Emia can quickly gas the flame of hope for life.

Before dawn that morning, Witt got up as usual, washed his face, swallowed a small piece of moldy dry bread, and walked down the dirt road leading to old Danny's house, it must have rained last night, and the air was still filled with the smell of dirt, and the path was empty.

Witt walked along this familiar and unfamiliar road, and before he knew it, he passed by the gallows. Witt's eyes were sharp, and he immediately noticed that there was more parchment on the stake next to the gallows than usual, and Witt looked closer, and did not understand the meaning, but on it was painted the familiar banner of the Boyer family, and there was a man carrying a shield and an axe, and a bow and arrows were drawn next to it. Witt immediately knew that in the past, after this notice was posted in the village, there would be guards or noble attendants who would come out to give a speech, and then a large number of young people would be recruited into the army. Witt was impressed, this should be the lord conscription, that's right, it is the lord who is conscripting.

Witt was in his mind, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the door of Old Danny's House. Witt habitually pulled out the axe from his waist, placed the wood on the wooden platform, and swung his arm easily, aiming at the center of the wood is an axe, which is instantly split in half, evenly left and right. Chopping wood can be said to be a light and skilled car for today's Witt, swinging an axe like a sword, and not showing any slowness.

Time passed little by little, and old Danny was already standing at the door at some point, looking at Witt, who was skilled in his hands and feet and his body and limbs, he was very pleased, but when he saw that he was absent-minded, he asked, "Boy, what's wrong with you?" Absent-minded, have something on your mind? ”

Witt was also startled when he heard the voice of old Danny behind him, and then he came to his senses and paused before replying, "Uncle Danny, let me tell you something, don't be angry." ”

"What's the matter? You can say it first, I will take care of you if there is anything, not to mention that I have lived to this age, what is there to be angry about? Danny Sr. asked with a laugh.

Witt thought for a moment before he said slowly, "Actually...... When I came here just now, I saw the conscription order issued in the fort at the gallows, and I was thinking......"

"So you want to enlist in the army?" Old Danny asked with wide eyes, his voice still trembling a little, seeing that Witt nodded lightly and didn't dare to look at himself, he said for a long time: "Have you forgotten what I once said to you?" You may die because of this, how many people can live to the point of glory and wealth in the army? ”

Seeing that Witt was silent, Old Danny sighed, shook his head and continued: "I don't have the right to stop you, I just hope you don't follow in my footsteps, eh! Young people have a passionate heart, since you insist on joining the army, then go! I hope you will have a chance to come and see me, an old man who is immortal and has no one to take care of me. Old Danny said with a sadness in his words, and slowly turned away, shaking his head gently and walking into the depths of the house.

Witt looked at the old Danny's fading back, and suddenly felt a little sorry for him, he shouldn't have told him about it, but he really didn't want to be bored with Fesd for the rest of his life, being a small farmer who was in danger. Even if you want to be a hunter, the constraints of the times will not allow it, it is better to risk your life to join the army, maybe there will be a bright future.

Witt was ruthless and made up his mind to join the army, but he didn't want to stay and hurt old Danny's heart, so he immediately kowtowed to the door three times and shouted: "I have grace today, and I will report it tomorrow!" Then he left tearfully and ran towards Joey's house.

Joey has always had a dream of joining the army, and now there is a ready-made opportunity in front of him, and Witt believes that Joey will definitely not miss it, and will definitely accompany him to report to the Lord's Fortress. What's more, Witt believes that with Joey's superb archery skills, his skills are barely reasonable, and besides, Joey is strong and strong, and he can swing the axe skillfully, so he will definitely be able to get the appreciation from above and win the qualification to enlist in the army. The more Witt thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace, letting the dust rise behind him drift freely.
