Chapter 1: Joyful Rain
On a fertile soil, in a quiet village, the rain is dripping.
Shi Chen sat quietly in front of the window, watching the drizzle lingering, the rain falling on the willow branches, and another slanting wind, which briefly flew up in the air and rolled on the ground. Shi Chen smiled slightly, his eyes continued to stay in the rain, a little happy.
This rain is Shi Chen's favorite weather, not a downpour, not a ticking rain, but a breeze and drizzle, this rain is particularly comfortable. The rain curtain shrouded the entire Yang Kingdom, the busy people were more anxious, the quiet people were snoring, only Shi Chen, happy with the rain.
"It's time to eat, brother. A pair of ponytails tied behind him, a pale yellow long skirt, a delicate face, bouncing open the door and entering, Wan Er asked.
This girl is Shi Chen's sister Shi Qiong, Shi Chen has two in her twenties, and her sister is just three years younger and nineteen years younger. The small body and the face of the elf are very cute.
"Well, let's go. Shi Chen said.
The two walked into the guest room one after another, and Dad, Mother, Shi Chen, and Shi Qiong's family gathered together. Shi Chen sat down, and Shi Qiong sat beside him, extremely clingy. There were three taels of pickles on the table, a few dumplings, and the family was silent for a quiet meal.
"Brother, you're watching the rain again. Shi Qiong broke the silence.
"Well, the rain in this autumn harvest season is the most delicate, the warmest, and the most calming. Shi Chen said softly, and the family continued to eat.
After the meal, Shi Chen was still sitting in front of the window, the rain gradually subsided, the sky gradually cleared, picked up the old book on the table, read a few pages, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
Born in a farmer's family, in addition to plowing on weekdays, I just read this book, the title of this book is "Ren", I don't know which former can write and stay, every time Shi Chen reads it, there will always be a new experience. Shi Chen didn't expect to be able to go to the exam after reading this book, he just wanted to fill his troubled heart with a piece of quiet jade.
When I walked out the door, the ground was a little muddy, which was not suitable for harvesting fruit in the fields. Looking at the neighborhoods and villages, the peasants poked their heads out one after another, greeting each other, and their eyebrows were full of joy for the autumn harvest.
An autumn rain and a cold, the sky will get colder and colder, Shi Qiong is wearing an autumn coat made by her mother, and she also takes out one more and drapes it on Shi Chen's body. In the eyes of the villagers, the two children in Shijia Village have always been like this, well-behaved and sensible, quiet and peaceful, and the villagers have long been accustomed to it.
But no one knows the affection in Shi Qiong's heart, for Shi Chen, it is a feeling that transcends family affection, only Shi Qiong herself knows, perhaps, this will be the secret of her life. People in the world often say that brothers and sisters, close relatives are jealous, and subverting the code of ethics will lead to the destruction of heaven and earth.
After such a quiet day for a long time, Yang Guo began to recruit troops again, and it was a sunny day, and the general who recruited troops came to Shijia Village. The notice was posted at the head of the village to attract the villagers to wait and see, and many villagers came over one after another to ask the general, only to learn about the conscription.
The news spread quickly, and soon, Shi Chen learned about it. Although Yang Guo is open-minded, and this military service is all based on his own will, there are also many people with lofty ideals who want to make contributions on the battlefield and serve the country loyally. Shi Chen pondered for a while, decided to join the army, and began to pack his bags.
When my father and mother heard this, they prepared some thick clothes for Shi Chen, wrapped them in a bag, and asked Shi Chen to carry them. It is the man's responsibility to protect the family and defend the country, and his father and mother didn't want to stop it, and they didn't even say anything to persuade them to stay, but just helped clean up their things. Then, he watched Shi Chen walk towards the head of the village.
"Brother!" Shi Qiong shouted, with tears in his eyes, standing in front of Shi Chen, clenching his hands. Isn't it good for the family to stay together and depend on each other for their lives? Why join the army? Why? Shi Qiong had a thousand words in her heart, but she was choked with tears at this time.
"Take care of mom and dad. Shi Chen didn't say anything, left a word, smiled at his sister, and turned to leave.
The luggage was a little heavy, which made it a little difficult for Shi Chen to walk, and he walked slowly to the notice. In front of him, he was a young man in armor, with a handsome face, heroic spirit between his eyebrows, holding a horse in his hand, waiting for him. There are also Shi Feng, Shi Yan and others who came with Shi Chen, and there are more or less dozen young people in the village.
The general put the people in the carriage and set off.
On the way, the general chatted with the young people of Shijia Village and got to know each other. This general's name is Yang Zicheng, a major general of Yang State, and half of this time he came to Shijia Village to recruit soldiers, half of which is to temper himself. Yang Zicheng's words revealed a sense of justice, which left a good impression on Shi Chen and others.
The journey was not far, and after nearly eight or nine days, they arrived at the Yang State military camp, and each person was given a fish-scale armor, a long sword, and a portable sword. Shi Chen was delighted, and kept holding the sword with the sword, using it to use, or the sword was handy, the Yue was too long, suitable for long-distance combat, the sword was sharp at both ends, and he could cut it as he wanted.
"Assemble!" Yang Zicheng shouted to the recruits he had summoned in recent months, and these soldiers would be handed over to him to bring, which was an opportunity for the Yang monarch to give him training.
After a short time, hundreds of people stood in a line, although there were many people, some of them were chaotic and lacked order.
"From today onwards, I will train your group of soldiers, my name is Yang Zicheng, I hope you will obey my orders and unite as one. Yang Zicheng shouted very loudly, and it was estimated that he could hear it within a radius of five hundred miles, and he was afraid that someone would dare to challenge his majesty.
According to what Yang Zicheng taught, everyone formed an orderly team and began to insert, insert, stab, and pierce non-stop. There is no difference between these four blows, it is just four consecutive stabs, and the recruits practice repeatedly.
Shi Chen and others trained day after day, there were no holidays in the barracks, and the days flew by like flowing water, and a year passed. Shi Chen and the others gradually became familiar, and the weapons in their hands became more and more comfortable. The number of new recruits and the return of a class of veterans to their hometowns did not differ much in the number of soldiers.
Just like Shijia Village at that time, every time the rain came, Shi Chen went out of the camp to probe, watched quietly, and was concentrated in the rain. The soldiers have long been accustomed to it and ignore it.
Perhaps, only Shi Chen himself knows that this rain is like warm jade, bringing warmth and tranquility to people.
Shi Chen has been in the army of Yang State for a year, and the quiet sky is about to usher in the invasion of heavy rain. The land country that is not far from each other is coming, and the two countries have not committed it for many years, and there are not many confrontations, but this time, the attack of the weightlifting troops really makes Yang Guo feel incomprehensible.
"Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a while, brothers, follow me to defend against the enemy. General Yang Zicheng shouted on his healthy horse.
Soon, the two armies fought on the border of Yang, and this battle was mighty, and both countries were the strength of the whole country, pouring out of the city.
Shi Chen and the others were also among them, blending into the crowd and starting to fight. Then there was a sound of weapons grinding, "Bell bell bell ......"
The two countries have a good background, they are evenly matched, and many corpses are flying under the shadow of swords and swords, and they are already blurred and unconscious. Shi Chen palmed his hands and waved his life in the crowd.
After another half of the hour, there was already a river of blood on the border battlefield, and Shi Chen and the others were also a little tired, but the opponent was not comfortable. At this moment, the soldiers of the land country avoided an avenue, and a cloud ladder appeared in the sky, and an old thief standing on it began to wave it in the dust.
Somehow, the soldiers of the land country were subjected to the magic of this old thief, and there seemed to be a molten eruption in their bodies, and they rushed forward with a brain.
said that it was too late, it was fast, and tens of thousands of Yang troops were cut down in a few moments. Yang Zicheng was stunned at this time, and shouted, "The situation has changed!
The defeat of the Yang army was like a mountain, and no matter how strong and brave the sergeants were, they could not resist the fierce fighting of the Lu army. They all threw away their armor and fled from the border battlefield and ran to the defending city on the outskirts of the Yang Kingdom.
Shi Chen and the others were at the end of the army at the moment, and they were also fleeing frantically. Behind him, there was still Sergeant Yang Guo being killed, and there were bursts of screams. At this time, General Lu Guoyi rushed behind Shi Chen with a fast horse and stabbed out with a shot. Shi Chen swallowed a mouthful of saliva, returned to his senses with his backhand, and threw Yue out. "Bang, bang......"
The axle in Shi Chen's hand was stabbed in half, allowing the spear to stab him, and then he drew his sword to block it, dodging the fatal blow. The body was also thrown out a few meters, and the throat of "poof...... was sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
This blow can be regarded as picking up a life, Shi Chen was frightened, he didn't know how many ribs were broken in his chest, he held his sword, staggered to his feet, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, panting heavily.
"Shi Chen!" Shi Feng and Shi Yan shouted, running to Shi Chen's side, Yang Zicheng also looked this way, and ran over, and the three of them helped Shi Chen up, wanting to go to the city.
Seeing this, General Lu Guo flew over again, and a shot was stabbed, Yang Zicheng gritted his teeth, blocked in front of Shi Chen, and let the sharp spear pass through his chest, "Ah!" Yang Zicheng roared angrily, clenched the body of the gun with both hands, and yelled at Shi Chen: "Hurry up!
Shi Chen's three minds were stunned, and they were stunned for a moment, and tears welled up. Shi Feng Shi Yan dared to hesitate, dragging Shi Chen and galloping back.
"Hahahaha......" Yang Zicheng laughed heartily, and at this time he was also full of blood and tears. "Die for the country, and die without regrets. ”
The voice spread throughout the three armies, and many soldiers of the Yang Kingdom shed tears, and their hearts were crossed, and they reflexively killed the enemy! Even if they hit a stone with an egg and sacrifice their lives for the country, they would die without regrets!
On the cloud ladder, the old thief who looked like a Taoist was still waving the dust and casting spells. A drop of water suddenly fell from the sky and landed on the old thief's forehead, and the old thief stopped casting the spell and raised his head in surprise. Why does it rain on a good day?
In the higher clouds, there were also high men who stood there, but it was too high for the old thief to see. This master has a robe, an embarrassing beard, shrewd eyes, and the dress of a fortune teller. At this moment, as soon as he touched his beard, a chess piece landed on the chessboard floating in front of him, and he muttered: "Fall!"
I saw a sword glowing with cyan sword light beside me falling down the rain and landing on the vast battlefield, and the whole process was silent, unaware. When a panicked soldier saw it, he threw away the broken sword in his hand and wanted to pick it up, but he couldn't pick it up, but was caught by the enemy at this moment, and fell in a pool of blood, and the green sword was hidden deeper and deeper by the corpses of the soldiers.
Yang Zicheng's side, there was already blood flowing all over his body, and the general of Lu Guo raised his gun fiercely and threw Yang Zicheng out, with this strength, Yang Zicheng couldn't survive. Looking at Shi Chen fiercely, this kid is really lucky, the next shot will kill him!
General Lu Guo descended like a god, and the fast horse flew for a while, and with a force in his palm, the spear in his hand flew out horizontally, pointing at Shi Chen and the others. Shi Feng Shi Yan panicked, he ran for so long and was caught up by someone in a few breaths, seeing the gun flying, the two of them drew their swords and blocked Shi Chen.
"Bell!" There was a loud bang, and both of them were beaten out, and at this time, they were dozens of steps away from Yang's outer city. Standing up again, it was no better than Shi Chen. I watched the general approach.
The corners of Shi Chen's mouth suddenly raised a smile, and he remembered the words of General Yang Zicheng before, "Die for the country, and die without regrets." Perhaps, this is the man's way home, there is a heroic smile in his eyes, "Father, mother, your son is not afraid of life and death, he regards death as home, he is a hero in the world, and he will not embarrass the ancestors of the Shi family for generations, but he is afraid that this nurturing grace will be repaid in the next life." ”
At this point, there was a thunderclap in the sky, "Boom!" and the rain began to crackle.
