Ah Da, who was walking behind the group, heard everyone say this, and couldn't help but say loudly, "It's no wonder that they have lost their arms, some have missing legs, some are blind, and the little pension given by the court is not enough to do anything." They lost the ability to live alone, and those who had no home wandered around begging for food to make a living, and those who had a family, because they could not work, were also disliked by their families after a long time. Ah Da, who was in charge of gathering these people everywhere, remembered the situation at that time and sighed.

"From the moment they choose the barracks, they are destined to be willing to give; When you put on a military uniform, you must cherish your honor; When you go to the battlefield, you have to charge. What is a military man? A soldier is an inspirational stone, engraved with loyalty on one side and dedication on the other. Quiet didn't answer Changming's question directly, she just expounded a fact, a fact about soldiers; She just spoke what was in her heart, what she had thought as a soldier.

"I believe, I believe in them. Although the grinding of life has brought them a big blow, making them decadent and negative, as long as you give them a goal, you will find that they are still the brave warriors they once were. The soldiers brought out by my Xiao Qifeng, even if they are crippled, none of them are bad. Xiao Qifeng's words were sonorous and powerful, and his words were full of pride and confidence.

"I also believe that people who are not even afraid of death, what is this difficulty? Although the grinding of life makes them a little confused, it is because they have not yet found the goal they are fighting for, they have not found the right direction, and Liaodong will be their right direction, the goal of struggle, here, they will find their own value. Mencius once said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what the Buddha does chaotically. "Quietly believe that none of those who have been on the battlefield are bad breeds. Soldiers, afraid of the goal they are not fighting for, have never been afraid of the difficulty of the goal.

"What the princess said is that we soldiers have never been afraid of fighting with our lives on the battlefield, but we are quarrying and paving roads, so what are we afraid of." Changqing was quiet and said a lot of blood. Yes, although those brothers are now crippled, or even disabled, as long as they are given a goal, they are still the warriors who fought on the battlefield. Locking on to the goal and completing the task, they are fearless and courageous.

"Princess, hearing you say this, I also have a bottom in my heart. It's just that, princess, is there something unknown to your subordinates? Changle looked quiet and asked softly.

Quietly slowed down and looked at Changle behind him, "Let's hear it." ”

"The princess just said that Mencius said that the heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and act in a disorderly manner. The subordinates think this is a very good thing, and it is very appropriate to describe our soldiers. It's just that although his subordinates are not as knowledgeable as the princess, and the poems and masterpieces of the major families are also involved, his subordinates have never heard of what kind of person this Mencius is. Could it be that he is a literary master in the hidden world? Out-of-the-world masters? Please also ask the princess to clear her doubts. Changle thought about all the learned Confucians in his mind, but he didn't find this person named Mencius.

Changle asked, making cold sweat drip in the quiet heart. Quietly tangled brows, with a bitter little face, I really don't know how to answer.

Xiao Qifeng saw that her little princess had a sad little face, and at the same time she was amused in her heart, but she couldn't bear to be embarrassed. As for who Mencius was in Jingjing's mouth, Xiao Qifeng was sure in his heart that this Mencius must be a person from An An's time, or a person she was familiar with in that era. Looking at Changle with a look of curiosity, Xiao Qifeng's cold voice came, "Ask, what do you do carefully?" There are some things that should be asked, and don't ask those that shouldn't be asked, the princess has a lot of skills, do you think you are all self-taught out of thin air? Without the teaching of a few hidden masters, how could the princess be so excellent and refined? What is seclusion? It is unwilling to step into the world and be polluted by the world. Therefore, you have all memorized what the princess said and did, and you only need to do it, without asking more questions, let alone asking. ”

"What the prince said is that his subordinates have overstepped." Xiao Qifeng's cold voice made Changle suddenly smart. It was he who was stupid, the princess was so good, and she acted maverickly, she must have been taught by a master. The most disliked thing for a master is that others inquire about them, and what he asks is a taboo.

Quiet was in a dilemma, and couldn't think of a good excuse, but he didn't expect that the man next to him would say such a thing seriously, and quietly cast an appreciative look at his man. Receiving the little woman's appreciative eyes, although Xiao Qifeng didn't show anything on his face, his heart was beautiful. In this world, he is the only one who can know An An's secrets. This alone makes him feel happy.

This topic has been perfectly diverged. The group talked about other things, but it was not boring.

At sunset

"An An, we have arrived. This is where we will fight for. Xiao Qifeng sat on the horse's back, pointed to the flat forehead of "Guhe County" on the city gate, and said to Quiet.

Quietly looked up, only to see the mottled and old city wall, written with three big characters "Guhe County". The group stepped on the sunset, passed through the ancient and old city gates, and entered the county seat.

Entering the county seat, looking at the past from the end of the street, the street is sparsely populated, silent, and the occasional sound makes the street deserted. The pavement, which was not wide, looked very empty at this time. The buildings on both sides of the street, quaint but also old, shivered in the cold wind, and became more and more dilapidated, lonely and desolate.

In this quiet and depressed small county town, the people who occasionally pass by on the streets look indifferent and helpless. The businesses on both sides of the street, every household is full of birds, and there is no trace of life. After the war, in addition to the devastation and unsightly ruins, there are also lingering shadows that will remain in people's hearts forever.

The destruction of their homes, the grief of the loss of their loved ones, and the hardships of life have long since made them numb.

Looking at all this, in the quiet heart, there is an indescribable sourness. Once upon a time, in order to thank God for giving her the opportunity to be born again, she worked hard to live every day and did her best to help others. Now, putting smiles back on the numb and indifferent faces of the people here is what she strives for.
