"Steady, lower the plate!" The head yelled at the new guards in front of him.

A small area of land was set aside on the training ground, and Zhou Xinwu's head was assigned to train the new guards in the village. This is an order given by the village chief not too late, and since the appearance of the monster in Beiwang Village, many men in the villagers have also taken the initiative to join the training, and most of them are children.

Under the scorching sun, the old guards were trained in a large place in the training ground by the experienced Zhou Xinwen, who was also the leader of the village guards.

Now the old guards are training in martial arts, so it's not lively. The new guards were holding sandbags and striding on their horses in the open space on the side. Wearing full armor, they were already sweating under the scorching sun, including Shi Yang.

On the night Shi Yang left Beiwang, after saying goodbye to Jiang Yu, he didn't go home immediately, but secretly ran to Beiwang's residence, hoping that the old pharmacist could come up with some way to rescue Beiwang.

Helplessly, Beiwang's residence has long been uninhabited. Shi Yang picked up the note left by the old medicine man, and looked around at everything in the house that still had the breath of life, the herbs planted on the flower garden, the smell of burnt herbs, and the flickering candle that was about to go out.

Shi Yang picked up the demon slayer book that was knocked out by Beiwang again, sighed, and then used his fingers to extinguish the candle that was about to go out.

When Shi Yang returned home, the two Zhou Jiaotou just came out of the house, and Shi Yang nodded at them and said hello.

When he entered the house, his father sat on the chair in the hall not too late, his face solemn, and he knew that the two sect leaders had already explained the matter just now.

After Shi Yang explained the matter of Beiwang, his father let Shi Yang rest in the room.

Shi Yang couldn't sleep at all, looking at the armor in the corner of the room, his mind was full of thoughts like when he took off the armor and found that the tie was tied in a dead knot. So the next morning, Shi Yang put forward the idea of asking the head coach to double his training, and his father agreed, but not only for Shi Yang, but announced to the village that he hoped that the villagers would also actively participate in the new guard training.

Unfortunately, in the end, the response was mediocre, and only a few villagers let their children participate.

The training is three hours of morning training, one hour of lunch break, and two hours of afternoon training.

The bell for the lunch break was struck by the cook.

"Let's go eat." Zhou Jiaotou said, and several new guards immediately threw down their sandbags and ran to eat, "Come back on time, if you are late, you will have to be trained for two hours!" ”

The guards all eat in the dining hall, and there is a kitchen that provides meals daily, or they can choose to eat at home. But Shi Yang chose to eat in the canteen with everyone, and the noisy environment made him not cranky.

In the dining hall, the guards will discuss around a few books that can be borrowed, at first the villagers flocked to the Furong Pavilion to think about their own safety, and then the Furong Pavilion borrowed a few classics to let the villagers know more about the habits of the monsters, these classics continue to circulate, and every time they will be surrounded by reading and discussing.

But Shi Yang will not participate in the discussion, he will listen to them silently, he will quickly pick up two mouthfuls of food, and then go to Beiwang's residence, where he will take care of the herbs that are still alive, but he is clumsy, and there are already several herbs withered beside him.

Many wooden pillars have been erected around the village, and red threads and copper coins have been tied to them, which are the results of Jiang Yu and the demon exterminator's grandmother day and night, used to erect an enchantment, so as not to have another monster invasion.

Shi Yang came out of the residence of Beiwang and came to the statue of the goddess that was shattered by lightning, and saw the familiar back.

Jiang Yu was erecting a wooden pillar and wanted to cast an enchantment, but this time the wooden pillar seemed to be thicker than the others, so Jiang Yu was also a little struggling.

Shi Yang caught the wooden pillar when Jiang Yu was about to let go.

"Why is it heavier than usual?" Shi Yang was also surprised.

"Grandma said that this is the junction point of one of them, so the wooden pillar and the red rope are tied differently." Jiang Yu gasped.

"Where's Grandma?" Shi Yang asked, while helping to erect the wooden pillar, Jiang Yu squatted down and picked up a hammer to hit the nail to stabilize the wooden pillar.

"Grandma went to talk to your mother." Jiang Yu responded, "She always goes to your house these days." ”

Shi Yang remembered that in the past few days, it was true that the demon master and grandmother and his mother were talking about things in the room, and they also sent others away.

"And do you know what they say?" Shi Yang continued to hold on to the wooden pillar and asked.

Jiang Yu just shook his head.

"These adults really don't trust us." Shi Yang looked at the half-broken goddess statue and said silently.

The two of them tied the wooden pillar and the red rope and completed the enchantment point.

Before leaving, Shi Yang took out a bag of candy and handed it to Jiang Yu.

"I bought it at the market, it's definitely not as delicious as what Beiwang made, so I'll just put it on it." Shi Yang said, "When he comes back, I will punish him for doing it for you every day." ”

Jiang Yu was amused by Shi Yang.

When Shi Yang went back to the training ground, because he was a moment late, he was reprimanded by Zhou Jiaotou, and he was trained for two hours.

When I got home, the crescent moon was already hanging high.

Exhausted, Shi Yang just walked into the house and saw his father and mother waiting for him in the hall.

"Let's go to the dining room and eat." It's not too late to say.

In the dining room, her mother Yuemei made a basin of water to wipe the mud off Shi Yang's face.

"Sect Leader Zhou sent someone to say, you are late to go back to the training ground today." It's not too late.

"I'm going to help Jiang Yu set up an enchantment." Shi Yang responded, Yuemei heard it, and the hand that was originally wiping Shi Yang's face was also withdrawn.

It wasn't too late to glance at Yuemei, pat her and say, "Let's eat." ”

"Son, my mother knows that you and Beiwang are good, but everyone has their own way, and you have to take your own way well." Yuemei said.

"My son got it." Shi Yang didn't know if he really understood, but he just wanted to eat well now.

After dinner, Shi Yang returned to the room, and the exhaustion did not stun him, but the cleanliness of the night made him think about the conversation with Jiang Yu during the day.

The sound of the wind at night can be transmitted, and the subtle whispers come into Shi Yang's ears. Shi Yang decided to follow the sound to find out.

Shi Yang took a light step, followed the sound, and saw that his parents' room was still lit, so he hid under the window and listened.

"Jiang Yu, this kid doesn't know yet, right?" It's not too late to ask.

"Grandma said the time had not come." Yuemei said, "Don't tell Shi Yang yet, Beiwang is gone, if Jiang Yu is not there, this kid doesn't know what he will do." ”

"I know this, not to mention a few children, aren't you also responsible now?" It was not too late to sigh and say.

"I'm just getting started," Yuemei said self-deprecatingly, "You haven't slept well in a few days." ”

"Everyone has their own way, and my way is to defend the village." It's not too late to say.

Shi Yang knew that he couldn't ask anything at this time, so he secretly crept away.

Shi Yang did not return to the room, but ran to Beiwang's residence.

Everyone has secrets, Shi Yang thinks that this is his secret, he is here to take care of the herbs, and when everyone else is reading the classics of the demon slayer, he is reading the medical books here, and he is reading the manuscripts of Beiwang.

It wasn't until the morning rooster announced that Shi Yang came out, and at this time he had already learned how to raise those few herbs.

Shi Yang wanted to go directly to the training ground, but found that several figures were gathered in front of the statue of the goddess.

When Shi Yang got closer, he found that there were several children bullying a little boy. Shi Yang ran over to pull them away, but he didn't expect that one of the bullying boys had a hot brain, and even Shi Yang wanted to attack.

Shi Yang kicked the bully boy down, and several people stopped, and one of them recognized Shi Yang and fled.

"Thank you." The little boy said, "My name is Hano. ”

"My name is Shi Yang." Shi Yang looked at the little boy who should be two years younger than Beiwang, gray-headed, his face was swollen, "What the hell happened, how could they bully you?" ”

"I know you, but they're not bullying me, it's just that I'm not enough for them to fight for the time being." Ye Ye said with a firm gaze, "It won't be long before I can defeat a few more of them." ”

Shi Yang didn't even think that the little boy in front of him was talking angry, because his determined gaze and confident tone didn't look like he was lying.

"Then you go to the training ground to find Zhou Yiwu's head and say that I recommended you, and he will train you, so that you can win against them faster." Shi Yang said, sweeping the dust off Ye Ye's head.

"Really?" Ye Ye said excitedly, Fang Cai's serious eyes were now full of childlike innocence, and he smiled.

Shi Yang nodded at him, and Ye Ye ran away with great interest.

Shi Yang didn't go directly to the training ground, but went to Furong Pavilion, and it happened that Grandma and Jiang Yu also came out. Jiang Yu also pushed a wooden cart with a few wooden pillars on it.

"Shi Yang? Can I help you? Grandma asked.

"No, it's fine." Shi Yang was suddenly confused by this question, and saw the few pieces of wood again, "I was wondering if you need help?" ”

"It's okay, it should be done today." Jiang Yu responded, "Aren't you going to the training ground at this time, why are you here?" ”

Shi Yang's face turned red when he was asked, and he turned around and ran away after a long time.

When I returned to the training ground, I was already late, and I was reprimanded by Zhou Jiaotou, and several guards who trained together were also secretly laughing.

This time, Shi Yang was punished for additional training during his lunch break. At noon, when the sun is at its most unforgiving, he is doing push-ups with sandbags on his back and sultry armor.

Shi Yang didn't do it a few times, but he found that there was another person next to him who was doing push-ups, and that person was Ye Ye.

"Why don't you go to dinner?" Shi Yang asked.

"I just took two bites, I wasted too much time, and I have to be diligent to make up for it." Hano did push-ups quickly.

"By the way, what about your family? Did they agree to you being the village guard? Shi Yang asked, doing push-ups unhurriedly.

"My father went to the mountains to hunt half a year ago and never came back, and my mother went with the pig farmer at the entrance of the village three months ago." Ye Ye said angrily, and sped up his speed and did push-ups, "They have assigned a seat to my sister and me in the warehouse next to the pig farm." ”

Ye Ye's speed became faster and faster, and he soon fell to the ground from exhaustion and gasped for breath.

"If you can't do this, you won't be able to do it quickly." Shi Yang still followed the rhythm, "Each of us has our own way to go, since they don't care about you, then we have to go our own way." ”

Shi Yang stopped to help Ye Ye get up, "Take your sister to live in my house tonight." ”

Ye Ye looked at it for a long time before Yang grabbed his hand and got up.

"Shi Yang, you stinky boy, who told you to stop!" Zhou Jiaotou shouted, and the two boys were so frightened that they hurriedly continued to train.

In the evening, Ye Ye brought his sister Ye Xiaoqiu to Shi's house.

Shi Yang came out to receive them and explained it to Yuemei before it was too late. So the group gathered together for dinner. The two brothers and sisters of the Ye family were obviously a little restrained, but Yuemei had been gently serving vegetables to the children, and they gradually relaxed.

"Dad, they will sleep in my room tonight, and I think since there is no one living in the Beiwang family now, why don't I clean it up and let them live there temporarily?" Shi Yang asked.

After thinking for a while, "That's also a way, you kid is starting to use your brain." ”

Yuemei happily touched Shi Yang's head.

After dinner, Shi Yang ran to Beiwang's residence again, this time Shi Yang put away the medical books and manuscripts he had read before, and tidied up the flower garden.

When Shi Yang was moving the flower pots in a few corners, he suddenly noticed that the touch under his feet seemed to be different from other soil, so he picked up the candle and took a closer look.

Unexpectedly found that there was a mechanism, Shi Yang hurriedly checked the surroundings to make sure that no one knew, and then slowly pulled the mechanism, the ground in the corner of the flower garden slowly opened, and one of the flower pots was crumbling, and was stabilized by Shi Yang in time.

Shi Yang took the candle and went down the wooden ladder, through a dim aisle, to a secret room, which was already covered with dust and cobweb.

Shi Yang illuminated the desktop with the faint light of the candle, and he could see a map and several manuscripts that had not forgotten the ground, but the map had long since faded to the point where only the outline could be seen, and the manuscripts were also corroded and incomplete.

Shi Yang continued to walk in, and suddenly stepped on something, with a click, fortunately, Shi Yang held the corner of the table steadily, so as not to fall into the sky, but the candle that he raised in his hand surprised Shi Yang.

A skeleton body actually appeared in front of him, and there were still pale strands of hair on the skull, maybe spider silk, but Shi Yang didn't want to study it carefully.

Because Shi Yang looked down, although the clothes worn by this skeleton were tattered, Shi Yang recognized that this was the clothes of the old medicine master.

"How could it be..."Shi Yang gasped, "Wasn't the old pharmacist still there a few days ago?" ”

Shi Yang didn't know what kind of demon he was in, so he actually walked back with the skeleton in his arms. Perhaps Shi Yang felt that he wanted to put the skeleton in the ground, so he took the skeleton to a far place, found a piece of land, dug it very deep, and buried the skeleton in it.

Then he sealed the secret passage again, and the whole time he was in a state of unease.

The next day, Shiyang brought the Ye family brothers and sisters over, and carefully instructed them to take care of Beiwang's residence, and not to mess with the things in the house.

Ye Xiaoqiu happily visited everywhere, and Ye Ye also tried his best to repay Shi Yang by saying words of gratitude with his clumsy tongue.

But Shi Yang was full of thoughts, and he only thought that he must tell Jiang Yu after today's training.
