Long Yuandong took out the scattered silver taels on his body, put them on the wooden table in the grass hall, thought about it, took out a small packet of wound medicine, and quietly threw them together.

When the old man saw the officers and soldiers walking away, only three teenagers stayed in the courtyard, barely bracing their upper bodies, kneeling on the ground, and kowtowing.

Yun Tianjia hurriedly helped the old man up, and said ashamedly: "Old man, I'm really sorry!"

The old man's teary eyes were cloudy, and he pulled him into the grass hall tremblingly, and with a ho-ho sound in his mouth, he motioned for Yun, Long, and He to sit down.

Yun Tianjia saw that the old man turned out to be a mute, and his heart was even more sad.

The old woman limped from the wooden frame in the corner of the house, and when she opened the lids, she found homemade wild fruits and sweet nuts and mountain chestnut pine nuts.

This kind of souvenir looks inconspicuous, and it takes a lot of care to conjure it, and it seems that even they themselves are not willing to eat it.

She brought three bowls of gruel from the iron pot of the earthen stove, and said vigorously, "Eat! Eat!" There was a humble, timid, flattering, and seemingly slightly pitiful smile on her face.

Yun Tianjia drank two sips of gruel, his nose was sour, his eyes were moist, and he held back his tears and didn't let it fall out.

This old couple is a pariah in the hearts of officials and ants in the eyes of soul masters, but in his opinion, they are so simple, sincere, kind and warm.

All their lives, they have to endure endless oppression and exploitation by the elites, unable to resist and unable to escape. Every time they can only drag their fragile and scarred bodies after being bullied, they return to the grass hall that can only shelter from the wind and rain, snuggle up and keep warm, and no one cares about the loneliness, helplessness and desolation in their hearts.

And in the Tuhao Empire, in the entire Qinglong Continent, there are thousands of such poor couples at the bottom of society, and Yun Tianjiakong has a body of wisdom and enthusiasm, but he is helpless and helpless.

He didn't know what he could do for these people.

After the three of them came out, Yun Tianjia walked slowly with his hands in his hands, silent.

He vigorously punched him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "What are you doing when you're down? The old couple got the money, and the loss was not big, so what else was there to be unhappy about?"

Yun Tianyao shook his head, sighed, and suddenly asked, "Fat man, will you bully the poor people like a bearded man in the future?"

"What is this called?" He vigorously said angrily, "Do you just look at me like that? I'm not that kind of person!"

"You are not that kind of person now, will you become that kind of person in the future?" Yun Tianjia turned his head to look at the fat man, with a serious expression.

"What are you talking about?" He Dali jumped violently like a puppy having been stepped on by his tail, and said: "Can't you even believe me He Dali? If I bully the poor people in the future, I will be thundered and split into five horses!"

Yun Tianjia ignored how hurt He Dali's heart was, and only said: "You may not change, but what about your subordinates? Your current subordinates will not change, and what about your new subordinates in the future? Won't they all become bad? The five hundred soldiers in the guard are all bad from the beginning? Aren't there any good people? But which of them doesn't bully the weak and poor?"

He Dali was dumbfounded, and said, "If my subordinates dare to bully the people, I will twist his head off!"

Yun Tianjia shook his head, looked up at the sky, and suddenly asked Long Yuandong, "Why do you want to be a soldier?"

"What ...... be a soldier" Long Yuandong knew that he must have a deep meaning when he asked, and 1510 replied: "Being a soldier is naturally for food." ”

"What else?"

"And ...... That is to be a general in the future, to win on the battlefield, and respond to every call!"

"So what is the purpose of being a general who responds to every call?"

"Forehead ......"

Long Yuandong choked.

Naturally, he would not say that being a general is just for fun, for pleasure, for killing, and for showing off his strength. Although it is indeed an indispensable element in his imagination.

He thought for a while and said, "To be a general is to protect the city and defend the country." ”

Yun Tianjia asked, "Whose home is it that you are protecting, and whose country is it that you are defending?"

Long Yuandong was dumbfounded by the question.

It was a question he had never thought about.

If he said that he was protecting the country of the royal family and defending the home of the county lord, it would seem very wrong. The county lord's home, the country of the royal family, why does he have to be protected by Long Yuandong? And the future of his Long Yuandong's life must be attached to a royal family and fall on a county lord?

Yun Tianjia said: "The county lord's home is a home, and the home of these poor people is not a home? The country of the royal family is a country, and the country of these bitter people is not a country? Being a general is of course to protect the royal family and the county lord, but also to protect thousands of poor people, and to be diligent and diligent to the people, so that they can not be trampled on by foreigners, not bullied and insulted by the powerful, so that they can live their lives in peace. ”

Long Yuandong's chest was shocked, like an initiation, like a dream, and he muttered: "Protect thousands of people?

Yun Tianjia asked, "Fat man, Long Yuandong, should you treat me as a brother?"

"Then do you need to say?" He Dali patted Yun Tianjia on the shoulder: "I have always treated you as a brother! I just thought about it, I can't control what others do, but we can still control ourselves." I promise you that from now on, as long as I bring the soldiers, I will never let them bully the civilians. ”

"Hmm. Yun Tianjia felt a little relieved in his heart, and said, "Long Shovel, what about you?"

Long Yuandong Wuzi was immersed in the question just now, and said: "The common people are weak and defenseless, and their combat power is completely incomparable to that of the soul master. Nature is the survival of the fittest, the weak eat the strong, even if they have the heart to protect them, how can they protect them?"

"If you can think like that, that's fine. Yun Tianjia said: "Now you only bring 30 or 50 people, one day, you will bring 3,000 people, 5,000 people, or even 30,000 people, 50,000 people, if under your discipline and teaching, everyone loves and respects themselves, and does not do things that bully the weak, the atmosphere of a country will also change." We can protect one by one, start with ourselves, and do our best. ”

Long Yuandong thought for a long time, and finally showed a hint of perseverance, and nodded: "Okay!"

took off the shovel on his waist and shoveled out three piles of dirt on the ground, "The three of us are like-minded, born and died, it is better to make an alliance today and become brothers of the opposite sex." ”

"It should have been like this a long time ago!" He vigorously clapped his hands and said, "Yun Tianjia, you are the youngest, and you will be the third brother in the future." ”

Yun Tianjia's heart was hot, and he said, "It doesn't matter who is the brother or who is the brother." As long as we always keep in mind in our hearts the oath of protecting the people and not bullying the common people, then we will always be brothers who cannot be separated or broken! If one day, whoever violates this oath, not only will we not be able to become brothers, but we will also become enemies!"

Long Movement and He Dali said solemnly: "Protect the people, don't bully the civilians, if you violate the oath, you will always be the enemy!"

Yun Tianjia's depression was slightly relieved, his heart was happy, and he smiled when he met Long Yuandong and He Dali.
