In the night, Fu Ping walked into the house of the village chief of Pingsang Village. After entering the house, the village chief invited Fu Ping'an to sit down and asked him what happened to him during his late-night visit.

Fu Ping saw that there was no one else in the house, so he began to say to the village chief: "My predecessor has lived in the mountains for a long time, can you know the things of the world?"

The village chief replied: "Deep in the mountains and old forests, it is indeed inconvenient to have news. However, the day before yesterday, someone in the village went out, and when he returned to the village, he did inform him that there was a change in Xiling, and I don't know if it had anything to do with what Shaoxia mentioned. ”

Fu Ping nodded slightly and said: "It is precisely this matter, a few days ago, Xilu was invaded by foreigners and fell within a day, and then Tongqi in the south was also attacked and also fell. Although I don't know how the demons infiltrated my spirit world, the fact of their aggression and expansion has been verified. At this point, although the demon clan has no obvious moves, it obviously will not stop there, it should be waiting for the fighter plane, and I believe that soon after, the fire of war will be ignited again on the spirit continent. ”

After hearing this, the village chief was still shocked, although he had heard it before. His village has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and now he is not sure when he will be persecuted by war again. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel emotional.

The village chief thought about it at this time, and then showed an unknown look, and asked, "Shaoxia told me this, I don't know what my intentions are. I'm in Pingsang's small mountain village, the home of ordinary people, how can I know about this?"

Fu Ping thought for a moment and said, "At this point, I won't hide anything from you, I am a member of the Central Personnel Department of Tianling City. Today, the Spirit King has issued an order to recruit talented people from all over the spirit and train intensively, firstly, to increase the combat power to resist foreign enemies, and secondly, to fill the vacancy caused by the war. This matter has been handed over to our personnel department to take full responsibility, and Fu went out today, that is, to visit everywhere, to find talented and intelligent people, and to recruit them. ”

After listening to the words, the village chief immediately replied respectfully: "The old man should obey the call of the Spirit King, lead the people of the whole village, and do his part for our clan." ”

Fu Ping continued: "It is very likely that the person who answered this call will set foot on the battlefield in the near future, so this will be a dangerous journey. Fu had a crush on someone in the village, but considering the danger of answering the call this time, he didn't make it clear before, and I hope the village chief will help me pass the word. ”

The village chief recalled for a while, already had an idea in his heart, and asked back: "But Xing Xuan, this kid?"

Fu Ping nodded yes, and said at the same time: "Xing Xuan is young, but he has good talents, if he is specially trained, he will definitely be able to get ahead." ”

The village chief said with a smile: "Don't worry about this matter, I will convey this matter to Xing Xuan and his parents tomorrow." ”

Fu Ping instructed again: "If Xing Xuan is unwilling or his parents are not at ease, the matter will be stopped, mainly based on their wishes." If they are reluctant, I will not bother me any more. ”

After Fu Ping discussed with the village chief, he took his leave, only waiting for the village chief's reply the next day.

Early the next morning, Xing Xuan came to Yu Feng's house to see how Yu Feng was recovering. At this time, Yu Feng was also awake, except for the wound on his arm, which was still bandaged, nothing else.

When Xing Xuan saw Yu Feng, he hurriedly stepped forward to ask long and short questions, and Yu Feng also responded sentence by sentence.

"You scared me to death, how did you run to such a high place alone. Xing Xuan sat at the table, climbed up to the table, and asked.

Yu Feng smiled silently and said, "I just wanted to see if I could find Yingtang, and before I knew it, I was climbing higher and higher." ”

Xing Xuan laughed and said, "But you are really powerful, it is estimated that you are the one who has climbed to the highest place in the whole village." I don't see that it has a lot of potential. ”

Yu Feng seemed a little embarrassed, turned his head, and did not speak. Yu Feng's mother, who was working on the side, interjected: "Xiao Xuan, don't talk about him like that, you won't have to climb higher next time." Then he said to Yu Feng: "You, next time you come like this, I will lock you directly at home, and don't go outside in the future." ”

Yu Feng turned his head and never turned back to face Xing Xuan and his mother, while Xing Xuan watched the jokes on the side.

At this time, a man's voice came from the courtyard, shouting Xing Xuan. Xing Xuan turned his head to look, and after throwing down the sentence "Dad is here", he ran out of the house. In the courtyard, Xing Xuan said a few words to his father, and the two left together. In the house, Yu Feng turned his head and saw that his mother was busy on the side, and he couldn't help, so he had to turn around and go back to the back room.

In another place in the village, Xing Xuan's house. The village chief chatted with Xing Xuan and his parents for a long time in the house, and he stated to the three of them what Fu Ping said yesterday, hoping that Xing Xuan could answer the call to protect his family and defend the country, and at the same time win glory for the village.

After the matter was clarified, Xing Xuan and his parents were reluctant to accept it. Although Fu Ping didn't plan to force it, the village chief wanted Xing Xuan to go. So he discussed with his parents privately and explained the pros and cons.

If Xing Xuan is called to go, although there are no eyes on the battlefield, the prosperity of the family is just around the corner. If you make military achievements and become an official, you will be glorious. If you stay in the village, it is not safe, and if the war breaks out, if it spreads to the village, everyone in the village is in danger. Therefore, the village chief tried his best to persuade Xing Xuan to go to the call.

After several persuasions, Xing Xuan's parents agreed to the village chief's suggestion and explained to Xing Xuan again.

Xing Xuan has been living in the village since he was a child, and has never been far away, so he naturally yearns for the outside world. Now that my parents have agreed, I have agreed. However, he has one condition, he goes out alone, full of fresh faces, and will inevitably feel lonely and boring, so he wants his friend Yu Feng to go with him, so that they can be companions and take care of each other, otherwise he doesn't want to go.

The village chief felt that he had done his best, but then he thought that if the two of them could get out of the village, the chances of the village prospering in the future would be much greater, so he agreed to come down.

Outside the village, Fu Ping stood beside the Sky Eagle, stroking it and saying something to it. At this time, he heard someone shouting to him in the distance. Turning his head to look, he found the village chief.

Fu Ping lightly patted the eagle's head twice, then turned around and walked in the direction of the village chief. came to the front and asked: "Senior, but the matter entrusted by Fu has a result, how can Xing Xuan's family reply." ”

The village chief nodded and smiled, and said, "It's exactly this matter, it's all been said, but there is one more condition." ”

"Oh, what conditions?" Fu Pingyi frowned and asked.

The village chief sighed and said, "Xing Xuan, this kid doesn't want to go out of the village alone, and wants his friends to accompany him. It's the child you saved yesterday, his name is Yu Feng. ”

After hearing this, Fu Ping fell into thought, and said at the same time: "Yu Feng, this kid has mediocre qualifications, I'm afraid that if he goes, he won't do much." However, he seems to be stubborn by nature, and his resolute character can be seen from yesterday's events, and if he can have this spirit, he may not be able to succeed in the future. In this case, it is not impossible to take him there, but it will be more difficult, and if he and his parents agree, I have no opinion. You go and explain it to them, and when everything is arranged, I will meet with the two of you to have a chat, and by the way, I will tell you something. ”

The village chief saw that Fu Ping's side agreed, and now it depends on the attitude of Yu Feng's family, so he returned to the village again and went to Yu Feng's house.

Yu Feng was still depressed at home at this time, when the village chief outside arrived, he walked out of the inner room and entertained the village chief with his mother.

The village chief informed the two of the purpose of their visit. Yu Feng didn't express his opinion after hearing this, but just looked at his mother beside him. His mother didn't want to agree to this, so she told the village chief to wait for Yu Feng's father to come back before making a decision.

In the evening, Yu Feng's father returned home from the mountains and learned the news as soon as he entered the door. He thought about it, and he didn't know what to do. At this time, they received a call from the village chief and asked them to go to the village chief's house with their family.

The three of them rushed to the village chief's house, where the meal had already been prepared. In addition to the village chief, Xing Xuan's family is also here.

Everyone arrived, and the village chief didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic. He originally intended to place the future of this small mountain village on these two children, and if the two of them prospered in the future, the lives of everyone in the village might be changed by this. Fu Ping happened to pass by here and deliberately entered the village, which in itself was a rare opportunity. Now that he has taken a fancy to the young man in the village, and he can take two of them there, the village chief is naturally full of joy. Although Fu Ping told him at that time to follow his own wishes and not to force them, now the village chief is determined to hand over these two to Fu Ping.

The village chief sat down with the two families, repeated the words of the day, and hoped that Xing Xuan and Yu Feng would be able to go with Fu Ping. It is naturally good to be able to learn some skills, and I hope that the two of them can get ahead in the future and glorify their ancestors.

Under the strong persuasion of the village chief, Yu Feng's father gradually changed his mind. Let the child live in this poor ravine for the rest of his life, just like himself, and in the end it will be the same and unproductive, so he agreed to the village chief's proposal.

Although Yu Feng's mother was still reluctant in her heart, she also understood the intentions of the village chief and her husband, and after Yu Feng and Xing Xuan's two children expressed their willingness to go, they didn't say anything anymore, so they nodded in agreement. But the tears in her eyes flowed uncontrollably, and they didn't stop from the moment she nodded in agreement.

After the matter was negotiated, the village chief instructed Xing Xuan and Yu Feng to obey Fu Ping's arrangement more after they went out, and to take care of each other in the future, help each other, and go back to the village if they had time.

Xing Xuan and Yu Feng kept these in their hearts one by one, and told their parents and the village chief that they would definitely do their best not to embarrass them.

When I came out of the village chief's house, the night had completely fallen. Xing Xuan and Yu Feng said that they wanted to go outside, so they did not go home with their parents, but walked to the edge of the village.

While the two were walking, Xing Xuan was the first to speak to break the silence: "The two of us have been together since we were children, we have done everything together, and now we have to leave here together, the outside world is unknown to us, are you afraid?"

Yu Feng said in a flat voice: "I'm afraid." ”

Xing Xuan let out an "ah", then laughed and said, "Since you're afraid, why do you agree to go with me." In fact, even if you don't go, I'll still go. ”

Yu Feng's voice was still flat: "Afraid, what's the use of being afraid." There are so many things in the world that you don't have to face if you're afraid. The grandmother next door is still sick in bed, isn't she afraid? But what can be done, she doesn't have to face it. Yu Feng lowered his head and continued: "I was on the cliff yesterday, and I couldn't see where the top of the cliff was, and I couldn't see where the retreat was. When difficulties arose around me, I could only bury my fear in my heart and continue on my path. ”
