While bathing by the river, the two asked, "What's your name, little fat man?"

"Lin Tingwu, the court of the family, the martial arts of the generals, the second oldest in the family, they all call me Lin Xiaoer, what is your name?" Lin Xiaoer asked back.

"I seem to be literate! My name is Zhou Zhe, the philosopher of the first sage. So you still have brothers in your family?" Zhou Zhe regretted it as soon as he said it, for fear of arousing his sadness again. But the result was that Lin Xiaoer was unexpectedly strong.

"The village gentleman taught me, I am stupid and can only write names. I have an eldest brother named Lin Jiawu, who died in battle with his father in Longquan Pass. They died for their country. Lin Xiaoer lowered his head, just distressed by his stupidity and difficulty in learning. And when it comes to the tone of his father and eldest brother, it is a firm affirmation.

"Your father and brother are good! So do you have anyone you are familiar with in Longquanguan? Your father's and brother's comrades-in-arms or something?" Zhou Zhe sincerely respects those who die for the country, and if there are still comrades-in-arms of Lin Xiao's father and brother in Longquanguan, after the past, they should be able to be properly arranged.

"It is said that the battle was terrible, and my father's army was killed, but I remember what the officer who came to the village to mourn me looked like, when I was young, and he held me, and I played with the hair on the mole on his face. Oh, and he gave me my name. But I don't know the name," Lin Xiaoer scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.

"Is Longquanguan's pension for joining the army high?Does the wolf rider come every year?" Zhou Zhe hoped to get more useful information.

"There are many people who go to Longquanguan every year to join the army, as for the pension, there are all on the notice of Longquanguan, my father is the centurion of the infantry army, my brother is the chief, our family's livestock are all pensions, and there is money, but I don't know where my mother hid ~ As for the wolf ride, it will come almost every year, but it is only a lot of grass valleys, and it is the first time to slaughter the village like this time. Lin Xiaoer told the story, and he dared to be puzzled by the brutality of the wolf rider this time. And Zhou Zhe also had a lot of questions in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but be curious about Longquan Pass, the policy was clear, and the people enthusiastically joined the army. At least the Longquan guards are not the kind of people who eat the flesh of the people and drink the blood of the people. Zhou Zhe thought in his heart, put on his clothes, looked at his reflection in the water, and was really young. And Lin Xiaoer, who was behind the voice, asked an inexplicable word.

"Brother Zhou, why do you have a bowl of noodles tattooed behind you, everyone else is a fierce beast with a tiger and a leopard?"

Zhou Zhe was puzzled, but he just looked back hard, but he only saw a vague shadow, and when he touched the back of his palm, it was only smooth, and there was no other abnormality.

"Well, I was going to tattoo a dragon when I was a child, but the tattoo master was not skilled, so it became like this, don't get a tattoo, in case you meet a half-hanger, tattoo a tiger like a cat, that's it." Zhou Zhe ran the train with his mouth full. Lin Xiaoer seemed to believe it, but just nodded. Both of them didn't care, they just washed off the smell of feces and urine on their bodies and put on clean clothes.

"Let's go to the grove over there and wait until it's dark. Zhou Zhe said while pondering.

"Isn't it good to walk now? Longquan Pass will be a hundred miles northeast. Lin Xiaoer wondered.

"Go now, if you encounter a wolf rider in the wilderness, you can't hide. And the fire is not necessarily seen during the day. We set fire to the village in the middle of the night, set fire to the village, and then went to the northeast, the wolf rode all the way to kill people and hide his whereabouts. Zhou Zhe's eyes were sharp, and he analyzed.

"Uh, I don't know, but it sounds reasonable. Lin Xiaoer touched the wet hair on his head and nodded.

Time passed slowly, and two more squads of wolves rode from the mountain pass, passed the village, and then drove away. Zhou Zhe shouted happily. The late autumn night came quickly, and the two hurried back to the village, according to Zhou Zhe, prepared a few torches, as well as some miscellaneous items piled together, and waited for the fire to be set in the middle of the night. For the physical strength of traveling in the middle of the night, Zhou Zhe and Lin Xiaoer searched the village but did not find food, they should have been robbed by the wolf riders. Finally, Lin Xiaoer was not stupid, and remembered that there was wine buried under the big tree in the courtyard of the village chief's house. It's just that when Zhou Zhe opened the jar to drink, he was stopped by Lin Xiaoer.

"This was originally the wedding wine of the village chief's daughter, but unfortunately it's gone, let's sacrifice the ancestors first!" Lin Xiaoer sighed, and said to Zhou Zhe with a strange maturity. Then he knelt down in the middle hall of the village chief's house, kowtowed, and poured some wine on the ground. Zhou Zhe also did the same, and then the two of them silently drank rice wine that was not very high. Thinking about their own hearts.

Time passed slowly, until the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the moonlight was not bright, which was good news for Zhou Zhe.

"Lin Xiaoer, set fire!!" Zhou Zhe gave an order, and the two of them lit the prepared torches one by one, threw them into the thatched-roof houses, and then gathered in the northeast of the village.

Seeing the fire in the village and the fire shining on the two of them, Lin Xiaoer knelt down again.

"My Lin Village father and old folks, you treat my Lin Tingwu family well, I will definitely repay you for this revenge, and I will take the head of the wolf to worship here one day. If this oath is violated, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed!"

Then he kowtowed nine times. Zhou Zhe could only sigh silently, a child who was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but was willing to shoulder such a burden that might not be completed, he was responsible.

"You will be my brother from now on. Let's go! Go to Longquan Pass. Zhou Zhe picked up Lin Xiaoer and pulled him to disappear into the night. The shadows of the two swayed into the distance in the light of the firelight

Extend until blurred.

The road of 100 miles is actually dozens of kilometers, and the terrain is flat all the way, and the two did not run wildly, but walked and chatted at the same time.

"Lin Xiaoer, how are you going to take revenge? Are you going to Longquan Pass to join the army?" Zhou Zhe wanted to know his specific thoughts, and was also worried that he would make an irrational decision with a hot brain.

"Well, but the soldiers of Longquan Pass are not easy to be a soldier, and they can't be a soldier if they can't pass the assessment. It's not clear what exactly will be assessed. If you really can't get by, it's okay to be an auxiliary, as long as you can kill the wolf and ride, it's fine, we have 243 people in Lin Village, including me, and we have to pay for them with 243 heads. Lin Xiaoer said, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Auxiliaries, can you beat wolf riders? Your village is called Lin Village, are all surnamed Lin?" Zhou Zhe didn't pour cold water on him, but wanted to tell him the reality objectively.

"In Longquan Pass, those who can't join the army, but those who are interested in participating, can participate in the auxiliary army, and act together with the large army, although most of the time it is to transport grain and grass and clean up the battlefield, but if it is done well, even if there is no big war, most of them can be replenished into the regular army after a few years. In the agricultural panic season, if you have the ability, a few people go to the north to kill wolves and ride half-orcs, and you can also exchange them for military supplies, wine and meat. There were a few people in our village who used to do this, but then they married their wives and quit. Not all of our Lin Village are surnamed Lin, it seems that many of them migrated from the south. Brother Zhou, why are you asking this? Isn't it the same in Anran Village?" Lin Xiaoer was puzzled.

"I have never been out of Enron Village, so naturally I don't know about the situation in other villages. But the auxiliaries are also good. "Zhou Zhe feels that at least the auxiliary soldiers are safe! Looking at the equipment of the wolf rider and the physique, it is estimated that the two of them will not be able to deal with one, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield, so it is difficult to hide in the grass if the war starts, don't be funny.

"Brother Zhou, you can't just think about being an auxiliary, how many people are rushing to be the regular army of Longquan Pass! In addition to taking revenge, you can also start a family. It seems to be a livestock farm tool that can give birth to a wife when it is a year, and a family that has already started a family. In wartime, meat was eaten every day. The treatment is good!" Lin Xiaoer encouraged.

"Wife, isn't it?How do you know so much?Lin Xiaoer, you are very powerful!" Zhou Zhe thought it was just this guy's nonsense.

"Of course, my father was already married to my mother when he was a chief, so he gave an animal, and later became a centurion, and the chief said that he would send my father a second room, but my mother did not allow her to pass the door, and then gave her money. This is all said by my mother, and everyone in the village knows that my father is not a good person. Lin Xiaoer said.

"It's not a good person if you don't marry the second room!haha! Where did you learn this joke!" Zhou Zhe was amused.

"This is true, I used to hear the merchant who sold needlework and thread said that the southerners lived a hard life, and many dead men had no way to live, so they could only go to the North Plains, but although we are not short of land and food here in the North Plains, they may not be able to survive if they have no one to help. Lin Xiaoer actually replied seriously. This shocked Zhou Zhe, his concept was suddenly subverted here, if everything is true, what kind of world is this, and the southerners can't stand it and run to the wolf riding rampant North Plains. Zhou Zhe couldn't help but wonder what could make the warm climate of the south so bitter.

"The weather in the south should be warm and suitable for farming, why can it be more miserable than the northern plains?

"I don't know much about this, but I heard that people in the south don't grow crops much, they all grow spiritual grass. When the year comes, it will not be able to survive. Lin Xiaoer just lightly told Zhou Zhe what he knew. And Zhou Zhe was silent when he heard this, although he didn't know what spirit grass was, but he knew that it was not necessarily a giant wolf that could eat people, it could be a tax, it could be a spirit grass or something else.

"What is Spirit Grass?" Zhou Zhe was silent for a while and asked Lin Xiaoer.

"I don't know, it's said that it can help people cultivate, and it is used by spiritual cultivators, and it can help them refine their cultivation. If you can become a regular soldier, you can learn to cultivate spirits, I don't know the specifics, anyway, it is one of the advantages of being able to join the army, it is said that a spiritual cultivator can fight a lot of wolf rides. Lin Xiaoer said. Zhou Zhe heard about the role of the spirit grass, and he was even more concerned about the spirit cultivators, who could deal with many wolf rider spirit cultivators, it seemed that there were many unknown things in this land, and he was magically sent here, and he became younger, and the murderous wolf horse, the powerful spirit cultivator was even more unheard of, and it was less than a day before he came, and he passed by the god of death several times, and he didn't know how dangerous it would be in the future, just like this vast night, with no end in sight. Zhou Zhe has an unprecedented sense of urgency, more like the instinct to survive, if he can be stronger, even if he can run faster when the wolf comes, or be a powerful and rich person, it is good to find a few bodyguards.

Time passed in a hurry, and the two of them were getting farther and farther away from Lin Village, and Longquan Pass, a hundred miles away, was a slaughter. Zhou Zhe felt that he was like a piece of duckweed, which could be swallowed by the night at any time, but he could only struggle and struggle for a glimmer of life.
