More than a month has passed since the attack on Weijia Village, and almost all the bandits on Crouching Tiger Mountain have been exterminated. The villagers of the surrounding villages also readily agreed to this proposal - after all, there is still a great killing god in the Wei family's village.

The Great Killing God has locked himself in the house for twenty days and has not gone out, during which he has not said a word, and many people in the village even suspect that he has lost his speech function because of the injury to his chest and lungs, but in fact he has not been seriously injured except for the knife of Lu Zhiying. And the reason for his silence and decadence is also very simple - Lu Ning died because of him, and he felt remorse and grief for it, and became depressed day by day.

After that battle, Wei Hui slept for three days before waking up, and the first thing he woke up was to go to the bottom of the cliff to look for Lu Ning, at least to see the dead and see the corpse, Lu Ling did fall into the river in this place, but after searching for many days, Wei Wei almost turned over this water area of the Hidden Dragon River, and failed to find Lu Ning's figure, but Wei Wei only found a few pieces of clothing fragments that were crushed on the branches of the trees between the cliffs, and only heard the roar of the water of the Hidden Dragon River between the cliffs.

In recent days, another major event has taken place in the village. A group of officers and soldiers dressed as officers and soldiers came to Weijia Village to issue a conscription document - Jindao County is adjacent to the northwest of Shengguo, and the war between the Shengguo army and the border Husan people is tight, and a large number of strong men are needed on the front line to replenish the source of soldiers. The magistrates of the surrounding counties gave orders for conscription: 10 men from each village and 50 from each town...... And so on. Due to the urgency of the war and the urgency of the war, only a three-day deadline was given to Weijia Village, and after three days, each of the more than ten surrounding villages had to nominate ten men to rush to the front line.

It is said that it is conscription, but in fact it is no different from cannon fodder - training soldiers who can really fight on the battlefield can be as short as a few months or as long as several years, and these peasant children who have not been trained are no match for the regular army even if they carry big swords and spears, let alone face the nomadic people who are proficient in guerrilla tactics. Of course, Weijia Village was worried about this -- as far as it was reasonable, some time ago, the village had just been plundered and destroyed by bandits, and it was precisely when it was necessary for manpower to resume farming and recuperate, so how could there be idle manpower to be sent out for dispatch?

Grandpa Wei San has already passed away, and now it is Wei Tao, Wei Tao, who is the village chief, and he is busy with this matter. No matter who you choose, it is equivalent to pushing people into the fire pit, not to mention that every young adult in the village has grown up by themselves, and other families are unwilling, and Wei Tao himself can't bear it - Wei Cheng mustered up the courage to try, but was dissuaded by his brother Wei Gonghao, and his father Wei Tiezhu was even more furious and beat him up and locked him at home and not allowed to go out.

Seeing that there were still two days left in the deadline, Wei Tao finally made up his mind - this matter could not be delayed any longer, he went door to door to advise and lobby, and finally made most of the village agree to his decision, since everyone had difficulties, he had to hand over the result to God. Early this morning, a total of 52 healthy men over the age of fifteen and under the age of 50 in Weijia Village gathered in the center of the village, and even Wei Wei, who had not stepped out of the gate these days, also arrived.

Wei Tao ordered someone to bring a stick holder, and there were exactly fifty-two wooden sticks in it, ten of which were marked, and one of the ten wooden sticks was naturally a strong soldier selected by God for Weijia Village. Wei Wei took one of them, found that there was no mark on it and left, while the others also drew one by one according to their mood.

Soon, all the fifty-two wooden sticks had been drawn, Wei Cheng didn't draw the wooden sticks that were marked, and he ran around asking who had drawn them and wanted to exchange them with others, and Wei Gong and Wei Tiezhu had to go with him when they saw this situation.

What everyone didn't know was that there were actually only nine wooden sticks marked in the stick, and the last one left was in the hands of Wei Tao, the acting village head.

Wei Tao is unwilling to let the young and strong descendants go out to die, he is nearly fifty years old, has lived most of his life, and now he is temporarily acting as the village head, he should set an example for everyone in the village, so he secretly hid a wooden stick with a good mark, ready to join the army. Because of this incident, Wei Tao and his wife have been arguing for a day.

Here Wei Cheng was determined to join the army, Wei Tiezhu and Wei Gong couldn't dissuade him, but the father and son hugged each other and cried silently, but Wei Cheng kept comforting his father and brother: "Who said that if I join the army, I must die? If I make military achievements and become a general, won't it add glory to our Weijia Village? Don't be too pessimistic and sad." ”

As a result, the atmosphere in the village has become sad, and the scene of husband and wife and parent-child separation after a day can not help but make people cry.

That night, Wei Tao was packing his bags at home, and his wife was also crying and crying on the side to help.

"Old man...... You're not going, are you?"

The majestic voice came, and Wei Tao and his wife looked back, and it turned out to be Wei Wei who was leaning against the door. These were the first words he had uttered since the Great War.

"Why don't I go? I was drawn by lot today, and I, as the village head, naturally want to set an example, if I don't go, who else will be convinced by the result? In the end, everyone doesn't go, so what's the point?" Wei Tao was a little angry, although his son was surprised and relieved to speak again, he felt that his son should not say such an ignorant word.

"Hehe......" Wei Wei grinned, "You're lying to me...... Two days ago, why did my mother start crying in the middle of the night every day, isn't it because you have already made up your mind to go to the battlefield by yourself? What kind of lottery did you draw lots...... Yours is the real thing. ”

Wei Tao didn't react when he was exposed by his son, but just asked strangely, "How do you know so clearly?"

Wei Wei shook his head, as if he felt that his father was too sluggish: "I don't want to speak, and I'm not deaf or stupid...... Can't I see what you're discussing?"

"If Lao Tzu has something, he naturally asks his son to do it. Wei Wei hugged his arms and said, looking crazy, "Little girl, it's Lu Ning...... She told me to protect more people. Who else but me has that ability?"

"Now I'm going to find something to do as she said, I'm going to join the army!" Wei Wei took another deep breath.

When Wei Tao heard his son say this, his busy hands slowed down, and his expression was quite serious: "Don't take the war as a child's play, those bandits are just some crooked melons and cracked dates that bully people, you will die if you really go to the battlefield! Are you still too young to go to the battlefield to die? Stop protecting everyone in the village and take care of your mother."

Wei Wei snorted, "Send it to death?" He unbuttoned his shirt, and the scar on his chest was clearly visible and terrifying, "You have to trust your son...... No one can send me to death, only I have to send them to die. ”

The two fathers and sons argued all night, and in the end, Wei Wei persuaded his father to join the army instead of him. At the entrance of the village early the next morning, everyone was waiting for not the village chief Wei Tao, but his son Wei Wei.

"Brother Wei Xuan!" Wei Cheng shouted excitedly, "You finally came out!

Wei Wei shook his head and touched Wei Cheng's shoulder: "Wei Cheng, I heard about what you did some time ago, and you did a very good job - I can't do it like you." But you are still too young, and the enemies you face on the battlefield are not bandits who rob their homes and rob the weak and fear the hard, but soldiers who have really experienced life and death struggles. You should continue to stay at home and exercise. ”

Wei Cheng didn't know what Wei Wei meant by these words, so he turned his puzzled eyes to the others beside him, and at this moment, Wei Wei said loudly: "Father, old folks, you should all go back to your house now, the village is very short of manpower, and your wife, daughter, and family are still waiting for you to go back...... As for joining the army, I am enough alone. ”

"How can that be done?" Wei Cheng was a little dumbfounded, how could Wei Cheng think that he would be able to take the quota of ten people by himself?

Wei Wei carried a pair of iron halberds in his right hand, and patted Wei Cheng with his left hand: "The village needs you now, you are now the pillar of the village." Can't leave the village. And I don't care, I can go as long as I want. But after I'm gone, you'll have to take good care of the people in the village. ”

After that, Wei Wei separated the crowd and left them in place, leaving only himself riding a leprosy unicorn towards the convening place set by the officials of Jindao County, leaving only the nine people who won the "army" lottery I don't know whether they are happy or worried, and can only pray silently in their hearts for Wei Wei.

At the foot of Crouching Tiger Mountain, at the gathering place of the strong men who were preparing to join the army, the officers and soldiers were counting the number of people and writing out the roster.

"What about the people of your Weijia Village, can't you get together ten people?" the officer who called the roll call seemed a little annoyed.

"I'll have one enough. Wei Wei said lazily, "I don't need them to come." ”

"Hehe......" The officer smiled disdainfully, "It's up to you? What are you enough to do alone? Fighting is not a child's play, your Weijia Village is not doing things well, if you blame it because of the problem of the source of soldiers, will you bear it?"

Wei Wei still looked light, "Well, I'll take care of it." ”

"You can bear a fart!" the annoyed face of the officer in charge of the roll call was distorted, he had always thought that the five big and three rough people in front of him either had a brain problem, or they were deliberately using him for amusement, and the latter obviously made him a little angrier. He pulled out the saber at his waist, pointed at Wei Wei's nose and scolded: "Ten people from each village is already the minimum target, and your village can't even make up ten people?

These words undoubtedly stung the most unbearable part of Wei Wei's heart, his lazy face changed instantly, and his two eyes widened, as if possessed by an evil ghost. He threw a halberd in his hand on the officer's body, and the officer only felt that he was bearing a thousand pounds of weight, and his waist bent down, and the whole person was slammed to the ground by the iron halberd, and although he exerted all his strength, he could not move the iron halberd away from his body under any circumstances.

Wei Wei took two steps forward and walked to the officer lying on the ground, gently picked up the iron halberd and danced a spear flower in the air, and then stuck the halberd in the ground, the head of the spear was only less than two inches from the officer's ear, which frightened the officer.

"Is that enough now?" Wei Wei asked contemptuously.
