In the early morning, the sun rises over the distant horizon, and the warm glow shines on everything.

A new day begins. Today, the village of Marg is not as lively as it used to be, because they have lost one of their most beloved people, the village chief of Mans.

The villagers stood solemnly on both sides of the church gate, each holding a chrysanthemum in their hands.

The door opened, and Les walked out with a portrait of Mance first, and four young men walked out slowly carrying Mance's body. Ou Feiyu and Galuo were among them, their faces heavy as the villagers followed quietly.

The cemetery is on the south side of the village, which is a plain. Ou Feiyu and the four put Mance's body into a coffin made of arbor, which was made overnight by the village carpenter. The coffin is then lifted into a pre-dug tomb.

One by one, the villagers put the chrysanthemums in their hands on the coffin of Mance. After all the villagers had put the flowers away, Pastor Kote stood in front of the coffin with a Bible in his hand and began to recite the final eulogy. Many of the villagers began to cry bitterly, and Mance was really a good village chief, thinking about the villagers everywhere and doing everything he could to protect the safety of the villagers. And in the end, he paid with his life.

After the eulogy was read, Ou Feiyu, Galuo, and Les buried the coffin with their own hands. Finally, a cross was placed in front of the tomb with the inscription "In memory of the great chief of Marg, Mans Ferndor".

The funeral was over, and Ou Feiyu and his sister came to Rice, who was staring at his father's portrait in a daze, his eyes were red, his hair was unwashed, and he was in a mess.

"Uncle Rice, cheer up, Grandpa Mance doesn't want to see you like this. ”

Les did not react, still looking at the portrait.

"Yes, Grandpa Mance is gone, and now what our village needs most is a new leader, and the most qualified one is you! Gallo also walked over.

"No! I'm just a useless waste! When I fought against the queen ant, I was incapacitated by it at the first moment, and I watched my father be killed!" Royce cried out, grabbing his hair.

"Uncle Rice, I can't blame you, it's the mutant who is too strong!" Ou Yixuan also persuaded.

"Uncle Rice, cheer up, we need you!"

"No... No... It's that I'm too weak, if only I could be stronger, my father wouldn't have died!"

Ou Feiyu listened to Rice's words on the side, feeling an inexplicable anger in himself, he was patient, but finally broke out.

"Enough is enough! Say no more, you're a cowardly and incompetent coward! Say you are too weak, but what have you done to make yourself stronger. When someone needs you, you know that you can only be a weak person for the rest of your life! How can Grandpa Mance have a son like you! Yixuan, Galuo, let's go, don't pay attention to this coward!" After Ou Feiyu said this, he didn't just leave, Galuo came back to his senses, he was completely thundered, and this scolding was too ruthless!

"Uncle Rice, don't take it to heart, Fei Yu is also too angry, and he is talking angry. We're going to join the army, and we're going to go. When the time comes, the village will have the money to build the wall, and I believe that life will get better and better in the future. After saying that, Galo went to chase after Ou Feiyu.

Ou Yixuan learned the news that her brother was going to join the army last night. The brother and sister also talked for a long time, Ou Feiyu did a lot of his sister's ideological work, and his sister finally agreed to his decision. Ou Yixuan packed the things she needed and handed them to her brother: "Brother, you must protect yourself, you are my only relative in the world." But don't let anything happen. ”

"Well, I see, you have to take care of yourself, too. I'm sorry, brother can't take care of you by your side anymore. Ou Feiyu hugged his sister and whispered.

"It's okay, I can take care of myself! Don't worry, hehe. Ou Yixuan smirked.

At this time, Garo was also ready and came to the door.

"Galo, let's go. ”

"Well, by the way, is it really good for you to say that about Uncle Rice?" asked Gallo.

"I just can't stand him like that. I really hope that he can lead the people and manage the village, he has the ability. What I said may have been excessive, but I was just trying to cheer him up, and it was up to Uncle Rice to see how effective it was. Ou Feiyu sighed.

When the three of them came to the entrance of the village, they found that the villagers were all there.

"What's the situation, Gallo, is it your big mouth that you advertised?" asked Ou Feiyu as he glared at Gallo. The matter of the two of them going to join the army is planned to be kept secret, and they are going to tell everyone when they successfully join the army.

"No, I didn't say that, did you say that?" said Galo.

"It was Gallo who told me, and I told everybody. Les stepped out of the crowd. Les now swept away his previous decadent appearance. After washing, he changed back to the handsome guy he used to be.

"Kalo, it's really your big mouth..."Ou Feiyu's head was full of black lines.

"Uh... Don't worry about that. Uncle Rice, are you alright?" asked Gallo.

"Well, thanks to Feiyu's scolding, it woke me up. Yes, I'm really too cowardly, I've been living under my father's protection, but now that he's gone, it's time for me to take on the responsibility of protecting this village. Now I officially announce that Les Fendor is willing to become the new head of Marg Village! I will do everything in my power to manage the village!" said Les solemnly.

"Uncle Rice, I said too much before, but I still want to say that you can be the village chief, it's good!" Ou Feiyu said.

"Great, so we can rest assured. "Galo is also very happy.

"Good luck then, don't disgrace our Marg Village. ”

"Well, then we're going!"

After a two-hour journey, we finally arrived at the town of Meyer. In the distance, I saw the huge windmill in the town.

"What a big windmill!" Ou Feiyu sighed.

"Well, it's the windmill at Mill in Meltown. ”

"Wow, that's a big deal!"

"Don't be surprised, there's a lot of new stuff in town. ”

Entering the town, it is approaching night, and the roads are lined with warm lights. Ou Feiyu observed the town like a child. Gallo stopped in front of a two-story house.

"Here it is, this is it. ”

"Wow, your aunt is so rich"

"Actually, my aunt is not wealthy, and it was fine when my uncle was there, but now..."

Kalo knocked on the door, and it was a woman about thirty years old, not very beautiful, but she felt very comfortable.

"Come in, you're not eating, let's eat. The woman was surprised.

"Thank you, Aunt Millie, this is Ou Feiyu, you can call him Feiyu, he wants to stay here for one night, is it okay?"

"Oh, of course, hello, Feather. ”

"Hello, Aunt Millie, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Auntie, you're the best! Ou Feiyu and the two came to the kitchen and sat down at the dining table. Millie made each of them a bowl of curry rice.

"Aren't you back to the village, why are you back?" asked Millie.

"Oh, Fei Yu and I are preparing to join the army. How's it going, auntie, it's amazing, isn't it?" said Gallo.

"Join the army, nonsense! Don't go!" Millie said with a straight face.

"Poof!" "Ready to listen to the appreciation, Kalo was drinking water, and squirted out directly. Ou Feiyu, who was eating on the side, also stopped.

"Auntie, are you mistaken, you actually oppose such a glorious thing as joining the army?!"

"Yes, Aunt Millie, why don't you let us go?" asked Ou Feiyu.

"Joining the army is not a joke, you will lose your life at any time!"

"We know we're ready to face this. ”

"Are you ready? Have you ever thought about how your loved ones feel, how they feel when they lose you?" Millie burst into tears.

At this time, a little girl of five or six years old ran over and hugged Millie's thigh.

"Mom, why are you crying?"

"It's okay, Abi, why are you up. Millie touched Abi's head and wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I miss my dad... How far has Dad gone, why hasn't he come back to see me?" the girl cried.

"Soon, you're coming back, you go back to sleep, your fever hasn't subsided, wake up tomorrow, Dad may appear in front of you." ”

"Oh, then I'll go to bed, I'll see Daddy tomorrow," Abi laughed and went back.

"See, your uncle is a soldier, and at first I thought it was honorable, but now, he's dead, leaving me and poor Abi. I have to lie every day to lull Abi to sleep. Do you know how bad it feels to be?!"

Neither Ou Feiyu nor Gallo spoke. For a long time, Ou Feiyu broke the silence.

"Aunt Millie, I want to tell you one thing, yesterday, Grandpa Mance passed away, and he died to defend himself against the attack of the [Mutant]. And now, the villagers have been living a life of constant fear of being attacked by mutants. They don't have walls like here, they live today, but they can die tomorrow!"

"What, Chief Mance he..."

"Yes, aunt, Fei Yu and I are not on a whim, we want to do our best to make the life of the people in the village better, at least we don't have to worry about our lives from time to time. We don't want to see the people around us leave us one by one!"

"Alas, you have really grown up, you are no longer children, you know to take responsibility and protect others. Okay, I'll agree with you to go, but I'll have to protect myself!" Millie finally relented.

"Well, don't worry, I'm with Silly Yu, it's absolutely fine, haha!"

"When are you going to sign up?"

"Tomorrow!"

Ou Feiyu looked at the bright moon outside the window, and felt extremely quiet in his heart.

I can finally get stronger.

ps: I said that I can't stand it anymore, the pace is too slow, and in the next chapter, the pace will speed up!
