On the grassland in the north of the abyss, close to the mountains and forests, a group of women in bright or ragged clothes gathered together, looking at the women in military uniforms standing in front of the crowd at a loss.

"There are a total of 179 female dependents here, either orphans who lost their relatives in the war, or widows who have been separated from their husbands forever in the slaughter, in short, all victims of war." Lowering his long eyebrows, he smiled sadly, "I, like you, have lost my most respected father, and my husband is running around desperately to protect the abyss. ”

The women, who kept whispering because of nervousness, gradually quieted down, looked at each other, and their eyes turned red.

The smoke of the beacon ended, the war was relentless, how many families were shattered, and how many lives were lost in vain. These women have experienced the pain of bereavement, and many of them no longer have relatives who are related by blood.

"You can cry, you can lament your own misfortune, you can complain about this troubled world for your deceased loved ones, this is all the right we are born with. But before that, I want you to think about a question, crying or complaining, is it useful? Does it make sense? ”

Yan Liwu paced slowly in front of the crowd, and the sharp dagger on the leather armor made a small clicking sound.

Reaching out and holding down the shaky dagger, the corners of his lips pursed slightly, and Yan Liwu swept the faces in front of him one by one: "I have gone through many twists and turns to live to this day, and I have been as depressed, desperate, and disheartened as you are, until I met those very important people in my life. They let me find the meaning of life, and told me with their every move that people live not only to remember the past, but also to write the future, no matter how much pain they encounter, there will always be a bright day when they will survive the past. ”

The words were said in a hazy and vague manner, and a group of women seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and they stood up with clear eyes and a clean heart and a tenacious character: "It is certain to live, everyone is dead, and we can't be buried with us." If you brought us here to persuade us to live, I think this is really meaningless, the sisters who can stand here, which one of them has survived the grief to survive until now? ”

Yan Liwu was not annoyed by a few contradictions, but spread out his smile, which made the beautiful face more and more eye-catching.

"Those words are just the beginning, and the next thing I really want to say to you is what I really want to say to you." Taking a deep breath, Yan Li's worried gaze suddenly became sharp, "You can all do it if you live, but how to live and what kind of life you want to live, have you ever thought about it?" Is it to be lost all day like you are now, or is it to become numb with grief and go with the flow from now on? ”

There was a commotion in the crowd, and it took a long time for a cautious voice to come: "How to live, we said it and it doesn't count ......"

"Why don't you say your own life?" The words were worried and asked, and the tone was tough, "The general trend of the world is not something that we little women can control, but our lives should be chosen by ourselves, and no one can interfere." It seems difficult to understand this, but it would be better to put it another way - I ask you, do you want to avenge your loved ones? ”

Revenge, a frightening word, sounds unattainable.

The discussion was completely cut off, and a group of women with grief looked at me, I looked at you, and the luster in their eyes changed in their eyes, as if there was a fire burning in it.

All of this is in full view.

Gao raised his finger and pointed to the vast grassland behind him, and shouted in a loud voice: "Tell me, do you still want to go through the war again, and experience the pain of losing your relatives and homes?" ”

There was a moment of silence, followed by a neat response.

"I don't want to!"

"Tell me, do you want to see more people who have lost their families and grieve as much as we do?"

"I don't want to!"

When the momentum was high, Yan Liwu suddenly slowed down his tone: "So, tell me, are you willing to join me and guard our homes and relatives like those soldiers on the bloody battlefield?" ”

This time, the neatness cry did not sound.

"We? Go to war? How is this possible......"

"It's a man's business to go into battle and kill the enemy, what can we defenseless women do?"

Doubts and timidity appeared as expected, and the women who had been bound by routine for half their lives could not understand the proposal of saying goodbye, or felt ridiculous or crazy, and only a few people's eyes were filled with a trace of surprise and hesitation.

She didn't want to impose her thoughts on anyone, what she hoped was that after a short period of calm thinking, these people would be able to understand her state of mind, as well as the power and light that everyone present.

Finally, a different voice from the skepticism emerged from the crowd.

"I ...... My children were all killed by the soldiers of Qingyue Kingdom, and my father-in-law was also ...... I want revenge, I want revenge for my children and the minister! The ragged woman clenched her fists and tears welled up in her face.

The richly dressed but dirty girl next to her was also infected by this emotion, her eyes were red, and her voice was choked: "They killed my father and my mother, and I will never be able to go home...... I want to go home, I want to drive them away, this is the land of our great abyss! ”

"I also wanted to go home, and when I escaped, my mother was still paralyzed in bed, and I don't know what happened now......"

"My house was burned down by Nanqing soldiers, and they also ruined my sister, forcing my sister to die by the well...... If no one can avenge me, then I will do it myself! ”

More and more cries and shouts converged into a cacophony.

Whether it is grief and anger, pain, or deep hatred, all kinds of emotions hidden in people's hearts and shrouded in the battlefield are vented on this day. After the tears flowed, after the hoarse crying, everyone was left with a determined look on their faces, as neat as a woman in military uniform standing facing her hands.

The noise subsided, the silence returned, the words were relieved by what they saw in front of them, and the eyes were soft.

"If the country will not exist, how can the home be safe? We are the people of the Great Abyss, the Great Abyss is the homeland that carries our generations, birth, old age, sickness and death, and when our land and people are invaded, every man, woman, young and old, has the obligation to become a soldier in this war and fight to regain our homeland and freedom. ”

Gently pulled out the copper solder pinned to his waist, put it on his forehead a little, and then raised it high.

"I don't know if you've heard of the Women's Army, but more than a decade ago, the same group of bereaved sisters came together to take up arms against the enemy, invincible and invincible. This is the copper brand left by the women's army back then, and each of them has such a brand on their bodies, representing loyalty, bravery, no regrets, exhausting this life, never flinching, and everyone is a brave female warrior who terrifies the enemy. ”

The legend of many years ago was brought up again, and some of the older women in the crowd showed a look of remembrance, and many more showed a look of longing.

"Women are not representatives of the weak, men are not the only warriors on the battlefield, we women also have the ability to rewrite the history of this world, we have enough strength to protect our beloved homes and relatives." Taking a deep breath, Yan Liwu raised his voice again, "That's it, the sisters who are willing to go into battle with me to kill the enemy and protect the abyss, please stay, and if you want to leave a life, you can rebuild your family in the future, and you can leave with your husband and children." Feel free to stay, and no one will stop or blame you. ”

To stay, or to leave, is a difficult choice of life. Words leave a group of women with a long time to think about it, and they look around on the vast grassland alone. Thinking back to the women's army in Wen Moqing's mouth, recalling the various colors in Tong Ruchu's eyes when he talked about the women's army, there was a warm smile on the corner of his lips.

If the hearts of the people are not dead, the women's army will last forever.

After resting for a moment and returning to the crowd, there were several figures walking in the direction of rehousing the displaced people, retracting their eyes and silently counting the number of people, a total of one hundred and thirty-seven people.

Forty-two people departed.

Ye Haochuan, who had been watching from a short distance, came at the right time, and after glancing at Yan Liwu, he puffed up his chest and said loudly: "Since you choose to stay, even if you are our comrades-in-arms who defend your home country in the future, I will arrange for someone to distribute leather armor and weapons to everyone as soon as possible, and there will also be a special head to teach you basic kung fu." If everyone agrees, you can not belong to the border army and use the women's army as the banner alone, but we will provide all the military resources and salaries to the border army. And then...... And then what else......"

Ye Haochuan scratched his head, and after his mighty speech, he paused, and didn't know what to say in the face of a group of special soldiers.

The generals who crisscrossed the battlefield could not help but laugh one by one, but they no longer snickered like in the past, but they all turned into hearty laughter, adding seven points of sassy and heroic.

"Who will lead us in the future?" Someone in the crowd asked.

Ye Haochuan pointed to Yan Liwu on his side: "Women's army, naturally you are the female heroine as the general." However, I am only a commander-in-chief of the border army, and I am not qualified to appoint a military attache above the rank of lieutenant, so you should discuss it yourself if you want to call it in the future, I am stupid and can't really think of it. ”

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Yan Li was worried for a while, and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "I don't know how to lead troops to fight, and I don't know how to command formations, so I'm not a military attaché, but I just take on the task of gathering everyone together." In the past, when I was a doctor in the Qinglou, the proprietress gave me a name called Red Lotus, if you don't mind, you can call me Red Lotus directly in the future. ”

After a little discussion, a bold girl stood up: "Now that no one in the court is in charge, who cares about it or something?" We believe that Red Lotus is the leader of the dragon, and you are naturally the general of our group of recruits, so naturally we want to call you General Red Lotus, what do you think? ”

King of the Blue Lotus, General of the Red Lotus...... One is a demon girl who brings disaster to the country and the people, and the other is the organizer who leads the women's army to fight against foreign enemies.

However, without waiting for the end of the sorrowful feelings, a loud shout sounded: "Protect my homeland, bless my rivers and mountains, and I am willing to look forward to the Red Lotus General!" ”

That sound was like a slogan, and this group of women with different identities and statuses on the vast grassland rushed with enthusiasm, followed by the slogan, and the neat roar mixed with delicate voices broke through the sky.

"Protect my homeland! Bless me rivers and mountains! I am willing to look forward to the Red Lotus General! ”
