The curative effect of herbal medicine is very good, after half a month, grandpa can get out of bed and walk slowly, Qin Fengming's family was greatly relieved when they saw this, and the days slowly returned to calm.

Qin Fengming sometimes went up the mountain with his village friends to play, occasionally collecting some dry firewood and collecting wild fruits.

When no one is around, he will also take out a small gourd and play with it secretly. In addition to the dazzling brilliance on the surface, the gourd was very attractive, but no other abnormalities were found, and after a long time, Qin Fengming was relieved.

In the afternoon of this day, Qin Fengming, who was playing with his partner on the hillside outside the village, suddenly saw more than a dozen people walking on the village road, each riding a tall horse, all of them in good spirits, and Zuihou was carrying some goods on a horse.

It's rare to see so many people coming to the mountain village. The companions stopped frolicking and stood on the hillside, staring at the comer in bewilderment.

In a few moments, the group came to the front of the group. When one of them jumped off the horse and looked at the children carefully, suddenly, when he saw Qin Fengming at a glance, he showed surprise on his face:

"Little third son, you don't recognize me, I'm the eldest brother Qin Xiang. ”

"Big brother Qin Xiang?"

When Qin Fengming heard this, he was stunned. When the eldest brother left, he was only seven or eight years old, and in his impression, the eldest brother was thin, with some dark skin, and slightly shorter than his father.

But the person in front of him was tall and mighty, with a majestic aura and a ruddy complexion, of course Qin Fengming couldn't recognize him.

After carefully looking at the visitor, after a long time, Qin Fengming could vaguely distinguish some of the original eldest brother's appearances. Immediately jumped down the hill, ran a few steps, grabbed the eldest brother's hand, shook it vigorously, and showed surprise on his face.

The eldest brother stroked Qin Fengming's head, and said with excitement: "Little third son, our father, grandpa, and grandma are all okay now?"

"They're all very good, let's go home soon, grandma and mother often talk about you. ”

Pulling the eldest brother, he walked in the direction of his house. At this time, the little friend of the spirit ran to inform his family.

Qin Hong was sorting out hunting equipment at home, and suddenly heard that his eldest son had returned, and he was overjoyed, and everyone hurried to the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing his parents and others from a distance, Qin Xiang hurriedly threw away the reins, ran forward quickly, and knelt on the ground to greet his parents and grandparents.

Qin Hong's father and son were full of tears and helped Qin Xiang up. Pulled Qin Xiang into the courtyard. Qin Xiang ordered the items to be unloaded immediately. At this time, everyone realized that they were carrying some cloth, grain, wine and meat.

At this moment, the patriarch heard the news and brought some of his people to visit. Qin Hong hurriedly let the patriarch and others into the house and asked Qin Xiang to talk to the patriarch. At the same time, he called in the neighbors to help and served everyone with wine.

During the banquet, Qin Xiang recounted his experience of joining the army in the past two years, which surprised everyone.

It turned out that after Qin Xiang joined the army, he was assigned to an officer named Li Bingtang as an errand boy, and Li Bingtang was a commander of a thousand in Qijiacheng at the time.

After two months of training, Li Bingtang saw that Qin Xiang was very clever, intelligent, and willing to endure hardships, so he promoted him to be his personal guard. and personally instructed Qin Xiang to practice martial arts.

Just half a year ago, Li Bingtang was ordered to exterminate the horse bandits entrenched in the southeast of Qijia City, Qin Xiang showed heroism in the battle, not only rescued Li Bingtang from the knife of the horse bandit leader, but also killed him with his own hands.

This time, he successfully exterminated the horse bandits, and was commended by the above, Li Bingtang was promoted to the commander of Qi Jiacheng, and he strongly recommended Qin Xiang to be the centurion and served as an errand under him.

This time, Li Bingtang went to Yingzhou City to take up his post, so he took Qin Xiang with him. When he arrived in Tenglong Town, Li Bingtang knew that Qin Xiang was a local and granted him a day off to go home to save his family.

The patriarch and everyone listened to Qin Xiang's introduction of his military experience, and they all showed envy. The little Qinjiazhuang actually produced a hundred masters, which made everyone very happy.

In the evening, Qin Hong sent the patriarch and the others away, arranged for his subordinates to come with Qin Xiang, and Qin Fengming and his eldest brother came to Qin Hong's room together. talked about what happened at home in the past two years.

When he heard that the third brother accidentally fell off the cliff and returned unharmed, Qin Xiang sighed. I also heard that my grandfather's leg was injured, and I felt very heartbroken.

However, during this period, neither Qin Fengming nor his father mentioned what happened when Tenglong Town bought herbs.

While chatting, Qin Xiang suddenly thought of something, and said with a solemn face: "Father, third brother, listen to the words of the commander, in half a year, it will be the Luoxia Valley Disciple Selection Conference, the age is eight to twelve years old, the younger brother is just the right age, I don't know if I want to give it a try?"

Qijiacheng is under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou County, and Luoxia Valley is one of the two major Jianghu sects closer to Yingzhou County. The other sect is Crouching Tiger Mountain. In the eyes of ordinary people, these two major sects are just a Jianghu sect.

In fact, these two sects are actually vassals of the sect of the Immortal Cultivation Sect, but the Immortal Cultivation Sect cannot show its face in the secular world, so they generally choose a martial arts sect as their spokesperson to deal with some secular affairs.

The name of Luoxia Valley, Qin Hong has heard of it, and there is a restaurant opened in Luoxia Valley in Tenglong Town, which is very prosperous. However, he never thought of letting his son join the Jianghu sect. I couldn't pay attention for a while, so I had to ask my father.

When he came to his grandfather's room, Qin Xiang recounted the selection of disciples in Luoxia Valley, and grandpa pondered for a moment and said:

"Luoxia Valley, is the gate faction near Yingzhou County, I heard that there is a child in Yuejiazhuang who is thirty miles away from us to join Luoxia Valley, and within a few years, Yuejiazhuang has become the most famous village in Tenglong Town, which is given by the little disciple of Luoxia Valley. ”

"Father, can you let the little third son try?"

"Of course you can try, it depends on whether the third son is willing to go. Grandpa thought about it and looked at Qin Fengming lovingly.

In fact, Qin Fengming has long envied the second brother, and now that he knows that the eldest brother has become a general, he yearns for Shijie outside the mountain even more. It's just that I'm small, and it's hard to make up my mind.

Everyone saw that Qin Fengming did not refuse, so they studied how to participate in the selection. I don't know how Luoxia Valley is selected and what joints are needed in the middle.

"The commander once said that Luoxia Valley selects disciples, and all cities can recommend candidates, and some large families can donate some money and property, and they can also recommend candidates, but ordinary people cannot, unless there are special circumstances. There are exactly a few places in the commander's hands, and it shouldn't be difficult for me to ask the commander for one. ”

Qin Hong was also very happy when he heard that there was a place to try. told Qin Fengming's mother and grandmother about it, and after hearing this, her mother and grandmother were very worried, but after everyone's persuasion, they put their minds at ease.

Qin Xiang had military affairs in his body, and left the mountain village early the next morning.

When he was leaving, he left fifty taels of silver. told his mother that this silver tael was used by Qin Fengming to replenish his body, and said that the selection was very hard, and Qin Fengming was asked to exercise diligently, and he would be picked up at home later in April.
