Through Yan Laoxi's words, Xiao Chen finally understood the general idea of the matter: this is actually similar to that in film and television dramas. A pair of childhood sweethearts, on the eve of their marriage, the girl was brutally bullied and humiliated, and finally committed suicide in shame. The young man was angry, but in order to avenge his beloved, he stabbed a bully, and was unfortunately arrested in the end, so in order to survive, he chose to join the army.

"That bully should be damned, you did the right thing, why didn't the government investigate his crimes, but punish you? Isn't there a royal law?" Xiao Chen looked indignant after listening to the story.

"Wang Fa, Xiao Chen, you are too naïve. You don't know yet, Wang Fa is just the rules set by those powerful people for us who have no power and no power. Yan Laoxi smiled bitterly.

"So, Lao Yan, why did you join the army?" Xiao Chen asked, but this time Yan Lao Xi was silent.

"Let's talk about it!" Feng Ping sighed, "Lao Yantou's son has just gotten married, and Dai Yong's general soldier has given an order to recruit a man from a household to join the army, and Lao Yantou really can't bear to separate the newlywed Yan'er's son and daughter-in-law, so he replaced his own son!"

"That's the case!" Xiao Chen sighed, his eyes full of respect as he looked at Lao Yantou. Xiao Chen turned his gaze to Li Erniu.

"Don't mention this fool. Feng Ping said with a smile, "He heard that the soldiers had new clothes to wear and a full meal, so he came." He didn't want to think about it, in these days, there is a shortage of soldiers, and there are people everywhere who are unclothed and hungry. If the soldier can really be fed and clothed, then it will be his turn!"

"What about you?" Xiao Chen turned to Zhang Xue at the end.

"My parents are dead, and so are my grandparents. I'm lonely, I really can't live anymore..."Zhang Xue's voice became lower and lower, and finally became inaudible.

"This kid doesn't even have a relative. If you live alone, you will definitely starve to death. It's better to come to the army, and there is still a bowl of gruel to drink. Yan Laoxi sighed.

Xiao Chen was silent, when he was in Tianxin City, he saw brocade clothes and jade food everywhere, and there were warblers singing and dancing everywhere. The scene of clothes singing and dancing. Unexpectedly, when he came to the border pass, everything he saw completely subverted his impression of the Great Yan Kingdom.

"The only way to understand the real situation of a society is to go to the lowest level of the society. Xiao Chen finally realized how true this sentence was.

"By the way, head of the head, how much is our soldier's salary?" Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, Xiao Chen hurriedly changed the topic.

"Military salary? The soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom, do you still have such a thing as military salary?" said the head with a wry smile.

"Without military pay, what do the soldiers rely on to live? Aren't they afraid of provoking a mutiny?" Xiao Chen was stunned.

"Mutiny?Xiao Chen, do you know that outside the gate are the barbarian people who are like wolves and tigers, and they are eyeing each other?, Yunxi City, as the gateway to protect the Great Yan Kingdom, cannot afford to lose. What's even more worth mentioning is that most of the family members of those of me who served as soldiers are also here. Once there is a mutiny, there will be chaos here, and the barbarians will definitely take advantage of the chaos to attack. And once the border pass falls, with the cruelty of the barbarians, it will be our family members who will bear the brunt, and in order not to harm them, we must not do such stupid things. Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Feng Ping shook his head resolutely.

"Since it's so dangerous here, why don't you move your family to the hinterland of the Great Yan Kingdom?"

"If you can really move to the interior, then who wants to be a soldier again? The ferocity and cruelty of the barbarians are not something you can imagine. Once no one wants to be a soldier anymore, it will be a matter of time before the border pass is breached. Feng Ping took a long breath, "So General Dai Yong gave an order, Yunxi City is open to anyone who comes here." But if you want to leave, you must get a handwritten letter from the general soldier. Violators are dead. ”

"The general soldier said that if we cut off the idea of escaping, we will set our hearts to guard the border pass. He said it was called... It's called..."Zhang Xue squinted his eyes and thought.

"The chief soldier said, this is called a ruined boat, a battle against the water!" said Yan Lao Xikou with a wry smile.

"This is called a ruined boat, a battle against the water?" Xiao Chen couldn't laugh or cry a little.

"Actually, the chief soldier also knows the difficulties of those of us who are soldiers. So, there's an unwritten rule here. Feng Ping looked around and said in a low voice, "As long as you are a soldier of Yunxi City, you can get out of the customs." ”

"You must know that although it is a bitter cold place outside the pass, there are countless rare beasts and strange grasses, and if you get it in the pass, it can be exchanged for a lot of money. As long as you are lucky and can bring back a star and a half from outside the customs, it will be good luck. As soon as he said this, Feng Ping's eyes lit up.

"But after all, there are very few people who can turn the fortune, and many more people return empty-handed. There are even more unlucky people, not only did they bring nothing back, but they even lost their own lives. Faced with Feng Ping, who was a little overexcited, Yan Laoxi unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, brothers, continue to sleep!" Feng Ping shrank into the cold thin quilt again.

"I don't want to sleep. Xiao Chen rubbed his hands.

"I'm cold and can't sleep. Zhang Xue said pitifully.

"I'm hungry, I'm hungry. Li Erniu said humbly.

"Xiao Chen, look, it's all your fault, if it weren't for the fact that you just tossed like this!As for this, is there such a thing?" Yan Laoxi on the side gently reproached, "Damn! With such a toss, I don't know where the bowls of gruel in my stomach just now went!"

"Damn, hearing you say that, I can't sleep. Feng Ping jumped down from the couch with a 'puff'.

"I'm sorry, guys. Xiao Chen apologized again and again. He originally wanted to take out some of the food in the storage ring, but when he thought of meeting these people for the first time, he didn't know what their character was, so he forced this urge down.

The five cold and hungry men no longer felt sleepy. Their eyes widened, you look at me, I look at whomever I look, and no one says a word. In the end, it wasn't anyone, 'Putz' laughed. And then, everyone laughed.

"Okay, brothers, since you can't sleep, you can't always stay here and stare at each other, right?

"Seal your head, you won't get anything small, and it will be bad if you run into a barbarian person. One day, when Feng Ping said such words, Yan Laoxi's face turned pale.

"Of course, there is a risk, but Lao Yan, have you ever thought that if we can get something, it will be a big deal. Lao Yan, I know that there are still your sons and daughters-in-law in your family. Life has been tight. Don't you want to help them?" Feng Ping said seductively, "Besides, the weather is so cold today, and the barbarians should rarely come out and walk around!

"This ...... Well, let's try our luck." Listening to Feng Ping's words, Yan Laoxi lowered his head and thought for a while, and finally gritted his teeth.

"I'm going too, I've heard that there are a lot of hares outside the gates, and if I catch one, I'll have meat to eat. Li Erniu gasped.

"I'm going too, I want to eat meat too. Zhang Xue licked his shriveled lips and looked at everyone with a pleading gaze.

"Okay, that's it. Go out and try your luck. Feng Ping slapped his thigh, "By the way, Brother Xiao Chen, what about you?"

Facing everyone's gazes, Xiao Chen smiled, "Since you have all decided, then what reason do I have to refuse?"

After discussing it, the five of Feng Ping set off. The unusually thick copper gate under the walls of the border pass leading to the outside of the pass was tightly closed, and no one could pass through it and go outside the gate without permission. Violators will be severely punished. At the gate, more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers stood vigilantly aside, faithfully fulfilling their duties.

When the five Feng Ping, dressed in soldier uniforms, came to the unusually well-guarded city gate. Seeing Feng Ping Shi Shi Ran walking into the guards guarding the door, Xiao Chen didn't dare to come out. He was afraid that something would happen. But things went surprisingly well. I saw that after Feng Ping and the leader of the soldiers guarding the door whispered for a while, the other party actually nodded again and again, and finally waved his hand to let him go.

The climate outside the gate seemed to be even colder than inside the gate, and the cold wind howling through it was like a sharp blade mercilessly cutting through the thinly dressed five people. "See that mountain, as the saying goes, there must be treasures in the mountains, let's try our luck there!" Feng Ping sighed, rubbed his stiff hands, and then pointed to a mountain in the distance. Xiao Chen made a visual inspection, and the mountain was about ten miles away from where his group was.

Ten miles is not a long distance for a normal person. But for these five hungry and cold people, it seemed so far away. The five of them walked and stopped, and I don't know how long it took to finally reach the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there is a dense jungle, and on the side of the jungle, there is actually this small river, but at this time, the small river has long been frozen into a glacier.

"Let's take a break, and then climb the mountain later, and see if we can find some surprises on the mountain." Feng Ping said while panting.

"No, I can't stand it, I can't stand it. Yan Laoxi, the eldest of the five, sat down on his butt despite the coldness of the ground.

"No, it can't be like this, you have to build a fire quickly and warm it up. Xiao Chen touched his frozen blue cheeks and thought. Thinking of this, he looked around, and it was so good that a thick layer of dead branches and leaves had fallen under his feet. Xiao Chen, who was overjoyed, hurriedly collected these things and quickly lit up the fire.

Xiao Chen subconsciously touched his body, but he never stretched out his hand again. "What's wrong, Brother Xiao Chen?" Feng Ping asked strangely.

"I forgot to bring the fire sickle!" Xiao Chen said apologetically.

"What do you want that thing for?" Feng Ping smiled and walked over. His right thumb and forefinger were rubbing slightly. Soon after, a faint cyan flame actually rose from between his fingers.

"It's amazing!" Xiao Chen muttered.

Feng Ping smiled and lit the pile of dead branches and leaves. After a while, the flames turned into flames. The flames greedily licked the dry pile, driving away the chill around them. The five people who were trembling finally stretched out their bodies comfortably.

"Although my body is warmer, my stomach is more hungry, and it would be better if I had some food. The honest Li Erniu muttered. At this moment, a dark shadow swept in front of him.

"Eat, eat, don't run. Li Erniu chased after the black shadow. Xiao Chen also saw clearly that the black shadow that had just jumped over was actually a hare. However, Li Erniu, who was a little sluggish, wanted to catch up with the nimble hare, how easy was it? In a few breaths, the hare disappeared into the grass.

"The food ran away, the food ran away. The depressed Li Erniu muttered and turned back.

"Erniu, your luck is not good!" Feng Ping shook his head and smiled.

"Everyone, be quiet, don't speak, maybe Erniu's luck is not so bad. Xiao Chen suddenly stretched out his hand to restrain everyone. Xiao Chen's eyes swept around, and his ears were also catching the movements around him. Suddenly, Xiao Chen bent down, picked up a stone under his feet, and threw it towards a place. I only heard a 'plop' sound, as if I had hit something.

"Erniu, go and take a look, maybe there will be some unexpected surprises. Xiao Chen said to Li Erniu with a smile.

"Oh. Although he didn't know why Xiao Chen said this, Li Erniu still subconsciously agreed, and then walked towards it.

"Eat, eat. Soon after, the ecstatic Li Erniu rushed towards this side with a hare whose head had been broken.

"Great, there's something to eat!" Yan Laoxi's eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the ground as soon as he grunted, "Erniu, give me the rabbit to cook, it's shocking, I want everyone to taste my craft." ”

"Xiao Chen, isn't it simple!" Looking at Xiao Chen, who was smiling faintly on the side, Feng Ping nodded approvingly.

"Nothing. At this time, Xiao Chen had already become the ultimate powerhouse of human beings, and his sense of sight and hearing was also jaw-dropping.

Yan Laoxi's craftsmanship is really not covered, and it doesn't take long for the hare to be peeled and eviscerated, strung on the branches, and grilled on the fire to turn golden brown and exude an attractive fragrance. The five people who were aroused by this aroma had a great appetite, and they chewed it in a big gulp, regardless of the hot taste of the freshly grilled rabbit meat.

"Yes, yes, it's just that the rabbit is too small to score enough points. Feng Ping wiped his greasy most with his sleeve and said regretfully.

"There's a big thing here, but I wonder if we can clean it up?" Yan Laoxi's voice trembled. Beside the five people, at some point, a black behemoth appeared. At this time, it was looking at the five people coldly.

"Bear, it's a black bear!" Feng Ping cried out in a lost voice. Black bears are relatively large in size among all dangerous animals, and their strength is terrifying. What's even more terrifying is that this guy has rough skin and thick meat. If his group has a weapon in their hands, Shang Ke can fight with this guy. But now there are five of them, and they are clearly bare-handed.

"Whew!" the black bear roared and pounced on the five.

"Everyone, run, I'll drag him!" Feng Ping roared and pounced on the black bear. For this man who dared to challenge himself without knowing the sky, the black bear directly slapped him. Poor Feng Ping directly spat blood and flew out.

"Toutou, I'll help you. The stupid Li Erniu also rushed forward. Although Li Erniu is the most athletic among the five. But in the face of the black bear, he still can't see enough. Li Erniu ended up with the same fate as Feng Ping.

"Brute, don't hurt Brother Feng and Brother Li. Zhang Xue was in a hurry, and he rushed over desperately.

"Little rabbit cub, don't you want to die?" Yan Laoxi dragged Zhang Xue over.

"Xiao Chen, you take Zhang Xue and run quickly. I'm going to save the head and the second cow. Yan Laoxi took a long breath to calm his trembling legs.

"Wait a minute, Old Yan..."Xiao Chen just spoke. But Yan Laoxi had already rushed towards the black bear. But with the strength of Feng Ping and Li Erniu, they are not the opponents of the black bear. What's more, Yan Laoxi, whose strength is far inferior to the two, Yan Laoxi ended up in the same fate as the two, but it seems that the damage he received is far more serious than that of the two.

Seeing that there were three inadequate humans who dared to challenge him, the black bear was completely furious. It staggered to Feng Ping's face, picked up a thick slap and slapped it towards Feng Ping's head. "It's over. Feng Ping closed his eyes in despair, he knew that with the power of the black bear, if this slap was implemented, his head would be rotten.
