Chapter 57: Joining the Army

Time is in a hurry, in the blink of an eye, three years have passed in the process of studying, practicing martial arts, and hunting, Zhang Shiyang pushed open the door in the morning, looked at the sun that had just risen, and couldn't help but stretch his waist and yawn, which slender figure was still busy in the yard, three years. Zhang Shiyang couldn't help but sigh, time flies so fast, looking at the busy horse widow where, Zhang Shiyang only felt that the horse widow seemed to be much plumper than three years ago. Since the village decided to hunt on a large scale three years ago, people's living standards have been greatly improved, and the horse widow often receives Zhang Shiyang's funding, so it can be said that life is quite nourishing. Watching Zhang Shiyang walk out of the yard, Widow Ma turned around and said, "Mr. is up, but it's a little late today."

Zhang Shiyang smiled: "Who wakes up first in the big dream, I know in my life, but sleeping in the morning and waking up naturally is the greatest enjoyment of life." Saying that, he stepped forward to help the horse widow to feed the rabbits, this time the horse widow did not refuse, let Zhang Shiyang help, after three years the two have long been quite familiar, feeding the rabbits, there was a shout in the distance: "Sir, sir." But it was Ma Hao who came.

Zhang Shiyang turned around and said, "Here, why don't you shout when you're far away." Ma Hao walked closer, greeted Zhang Shiyang and Widow Ma, and then said: "The village chief came back from the town this morning, and was just about to come to you, but he happened to run into me, and told me to tell you to hurry over, saying that there is something important to discuss with you." Zhang Shiyang said "oh", but he was puzzled about what could be a big deal in the village, and instructed Ma Hao: "You go to the school in a while, and when everyone arrives, ask them to review by themselves, and I'll go to the village chief's house to have a look." "The student quit," Ma Hao turned around and walked towards the school when he heard this.

Zhang Shiyang looked at the horse widow and put down the rabbit in his hand. After three years of breeding, there are nearly dozens of rabbits, and Zhang Shiyang originally wanted to kill rabbits to eat in the past three years, but the group of children felt unbearable when they saw it, and pleaded in every possible way, Zhang Shiyang had no choice but to stop his great cause of killing rabbits. Turning his head to Widow Ma, he said, "I don't know what the village chief is looking for me, and there are no major events in the village recently, I'll go over and take a look." The horse widow nodded, "hmm". Zhang Shiyang turned around and walked towards the door, secretly wondering what the big deal was, the village chief came to look for him early in the morning. The village chief's house is not far from Zhang Shiyang's house, and when he walked to the door of the village chief's house, the door was unlocked, and he walked in directly: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, I'm here." An old voice came from inside: "Mr. is here, come in quickly."

After three years, Zhang Shiyang knew that the two sons of the village chief had gone to participate and had not come back for five years, but the country had been relatively peaceful recently, and the two did not go to the battlefield, but they were just ordinary military defense, and there was no danger to their lives. Walking into the house, the village chief was sharpening his firewood knife, and when he saw Zhang Shiyang come in, he pointed to a stool and said, "Sit." Then he got up and boiled a glass of water for Zhang Shiyang, and he also got a bowl of water.

Sit down opposite Zhang Shiyang: " I went to the town yesterday, I heard that there was a war on the border of the empire, the fire empire in the south often provoked on the border, and robbed a village on the border of the empire during the winter years ago, for which the saint was furious today, and decided to gather military horses to gather on the southern front, wanting to teach the fire empire a lesson, so he ordered to draw strong men throughout the country, and those who did not have strong men wanted to give food, and now called Mr. to come but wanted Mr. to take a charter, the situation in our village has just improved, there is no surplus food in the village, the consumption of the group of little guys in the past three years is a lot, the surplus food is not much, and it is said that it is all dependent on hunting to make a living, and the old and young in our village are not willing to leave their hometowns, alas, it's not good to call anyone to go to the front, once a war starts, you will have to be thrown at the front line if you don't have a chance, alas, ,,,".

Zhang Shiyang lowered his head and pondered when he heard this, and raised his head after a while: "Village chief, I have an idea, I don't know if I should say it." The village chief was shocked when he heard this: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." Zhang Shiyang organized the language: " This group of little guys in the village has been practicing martial arts for more than three years, and every time they are fighting with beasts in the mountains, their progress can be seen by the whole village, after three years of medicinal baths, now the weakest is also the realm of martial artists, and those who want to become generals are now the strongest is already the realm of martial artists, ordinary hundred and ten big men are not their opponents, they want to become generals, but if the prosperous world is too peaceful, how can there be a chance, now there is a war in the south, isn't this a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, three years of martial arts, meritorious service, feudal marquis and worship only in this dynasty”。

The village chief was shocked when he heard this: "You mean to call them to the battlefield?" Zhang Shiyang nodded: "Yes, people who practice martial arts are to make meritorious contributions, if they are dedicated to enjoying comfort and what kind of martial arts are they learning, calm will extinguish their blood, and will smooth out their edges and corners, don't take advantage of their youth to make a name for themselves, what is the meaning of being old, and the martial champion is not so easy to test, so many people in the whole empire practice martial arts again, and the number of martial champions is only so few, even if there are nearly 30 people in our village, how can this be divided."

The old village chief was dumbfounded when he heard this, and he didn't know what to say, but what Zhang Shiyang said was reasonable, but he couldn't refute it. Zhang Shiyang continued: "Martial arts can only continue to improve by constantly fighting, and only by stimulating potential between life and death, I think this group of children will not be dull, and fighting is the best way to progress." When the village chief heard this, he was just meditating there, and Zhang Shiyang didn't bother, just drank the water quietly, and when the two glasses of water bottomed out, the village chief raised his head: "I can't make a decision on this matter myself, and I have to ask the opinions of the people in the village, and I also have to ask the opinions of the children." Zhang Shiyang stood up when he heard this: "Uncle Li, then I'll go back." The village chief nodded when he heard this, still pondering somewhere.

Seeing this, Zhang Shiyang walked out, did not go to the school, but returned home, pushed the door open, and the aroma of food floated in the house, Zhang Shiyang didn't have to guess to know that when the horse widow saw that he walked out without eating in the morning, he cooked for himself, and he often did this for three years, Zhang Shiyang has gradually become accustomed to it. Turning the pot, the rice is added with two dishes, a cabbage stewed tofu, and a braised pork, and a warm atmosphere spreads. It's not blowing, the horse widow's craftsmanship is still really good.

After eating, Zhang Shiyang went to the school slowly, in the past three years, Zhang Shiyang has handed over some basic things to them, usually they read by themselves, and they only need to take time to explain to them, but this little thing is very leisurely. Seeing Zhang Shiyang come in, a group of students stood up and saluted, Zhang Shiyang waved his hand to signal them not to be polite, and then glanced at Ma Hao, in the past three years, Ma Hao's head has become more and more righteous and righteous, and he already has the thickness of three chopsticks, and after nodding, Zhang Shiyang began his own work and began to explain some classics and articles.

In the afternoon, a bell sounded, and Zhang Shiyang knew that the village chief had summoned everyone to join the army, so he stopped the class. Looking at this group of children, after three years of martial arts practice, this group of children is already burly and wants to be a strong man, similar to adults, if it weren't for the fact that their faces are still immature, I'm afraid no one would have thought that this is a group of children: "This time the village chief called everyone, you guys also go with me to have a look." After speaking, he walked out of the school first, and a group of children looked at each other and followed out for some reason. When he came to the village chief's house, there were not a few villagers, Zhang Shiyang looked at the village chief: "Uncle Li, have you made up your mind?"

The village chief nodded: "Yes, what you said is reasonable, wait until everyone comes in a while and then collect everyone's opinions." Zhang Shiyang stopped talking when he heard this, and sat on the side with his eyes closed. After a short time, the villagers had already arrived, and after the village chief stood up, he told everyone about the matter, and explained it back and forth, and as expected, the village chief couldn't help jumping out of the thirty or so children before he finished speaking, and decided to join the army. The adults looked at each other, dumbfounded, and finally said nothing, so they had to agree, and the thirty or so children went home happily to prepare their things. Zhang Shiyang saw that the matter was settled, so he said goodbye to everyone, he wanted to go home and prepare some things, and he would say goodbye to these children after three days.
