The real decisive battle has not yet come, but the shadow seems to have enveloped the entire Three Realms, and preparations are being made everywhere, materials, troops, grain and grass, people, too many people have been swept into this terrible whirlpool.

Everyone can feel the changes in the world, the people of Qinghe Town are also much more cautious, and there are fewer and fewer people on the streets, like a plague is coming, and they are all nested in their homes.

In the past month or so, Ye Qingfeng has lived a very dull and fulfilling life, but it is more hard.

Since he wanted to integrate into the lives of the people, he naturally couldn't be idle at home all day, so he chose to work with Brother Qin to do some of the things that Brother Qin usually does.

This can exhaust him, hoeing weeds, cultivating land, digging pits, sowing, irrigation, all he is doing with it, he is a mana, he uses inexhaustible physical strength, but he feels tired, even Brother Qin.

Brother Qin was working while talking, singing ancient songs, and seemed to be very comfortable.

But Ye Qingfeng was extremely distressed, doing something wrong, or forgetting the next thing after doing this, repeating the irrigation, and also hurting the seeds.

Ling Shuangyue brought him water and food, and was busy in the kitchen with Qin's sister-in-law, but she was very happy, and seemed to be very intoxicated.

"Look at these seeds, Aomine, they will take root and sprout and thrive in the spring. ”

"This is the steamed bun in our bowl and the noodles in the pot. ”

"Relying on these, we people can survive, you, you, a good hero, why do you come with me to do this? Don't you know, the villagers have a big opinion of me recently, saying that I know that I am bullying you with my brother's identity, and I am not wronged. ”

Ye Qingfeng looked at this vast land and saw the rickety backs in the distance, the younger ones were only eight or nine years old, and the old ones were even fifty or sixty years old, all of them were buried in their work, and sometimes they shouted and talked to each other from afar.

They do the hardest work, but they seem to live freely.

Ye Qingfeng knows that this is not free and easy, this is the joy in the bitterness that he is used to, and this is the simplicity of the people.

Ye Qingfeng's heart was very painful and complicated, he felt that he couldn't do this, and this kind of thing, they had to endure it all the time, generation after generation, generation after generation.

What merit do I have now? I used to be a farmer.

Ye Qingfeng sighed, sat on the edge of the soil, looked at the world around him, and felt that his heart was sinking.

"Hahahaha!"

A loud laugh came, and Old Man Li walked over with a broken kettle and handed it to Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng took a few sips and couldn't help but say, "Uncle Li, aren't you tired?"

Old man Li smiled and said, "Qingfeng, do you usually fight with people, is it hard?"

Ye Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I don't feel hard. ”

Old man Li said: "But if you want me to get a sword and fight, it will kill me." You can't do this job, and we can't do your job, that doesn't mean anything, it's just that each performs its own duties and does different things. ”

"But I ......"

As soon as Ye Qingfeng's words came out, Old Man Li waved his hand and said, "I heard Miss Ling say that you want to try to integrate into us and experience the suffering of the world. ”

"No, it's not. ”

Ye Qingfeng said: "I didn't put myself so high, I belong to this world, I am not here to experience life." ”

Old man Li laughed and said: "Qingfeng, you think too much, being a person is not so complicated, in fact, everyone is doing their own thing, that's all." ”

"Do your own thing, the ancients said it well, that is called looking up to the sky, bowing to the ground, and being ashamed of the heart, which is enough. What kind of human suffering do you have to experience? Everyone's suffering is not similar, and you can't understand it. ”

Old man Li wiped the sweat from his face, took the kettle, took a sip of his own, pursed his dry lips, and grinned, "You know, the people are bitter, and that's enough." ”

Ye Qingfeng was stunned in place, he didn't expect that Uncle Li, as a well-known bastard in Zhenli and a braggart king, would be able to say such a thing.

But Old Man Li patted Ye Qingfeng on the shoulder and said, "Look, the villagers who are working around here, have you found anything?"

"What did you find?"

Ye Qingfeng was extremely puzzled, and when he looked up, he saw that there were people everywhere, and there was really nothing strange about it.

But after a closer look, I felt that something was wrong, most of them were old people and children, and there were also women, but there were no young adults, and it seemed that there were no men in their twenties and thirties.

He couldn't help but be stunned: "What is the situation? What about the others?"

Old man Li said: "You can see it, they are not here, they have joined the army." ”

"What?

Ye Qingfeng couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why do you want to join the army? No, I mean, the imperial court shouldn't need conscription now." ”

"It started six days ago, right in town. ”

Old man Li said with a smile: "Everyone has gone to serve the motherland." ”

"Nonsense!"

Ye Qingfeng stood up and said loudly: "In the face of the Wuqi Demon Kingdom and the Spirit Ruins Fragment, what's the use of them going, isn't this nonsense! I'll go to Chang'an and ask Master what the situation is." ”

Ling Shuangyue also walked over, her face full of doubts.

Old man Li said: "Don't ask, the officials and old men have said that this is an order from the saint, saying that the war is too serious and soldiers are needed." ”

"They also knew the danger, and they were reluctant to leave, but they all went. ”

"Hahaha! Who called us the people of Qinghe Town, we have two heroes in Qinghe Town, Ye Daxia Ye Hero, Xiao Ye Daxia, and they are also heroes. ”

"The people of our Qinghe Town are respected, and they have a face when they go out, and many people from other places come over and say that our Qinghe Town is amazing. We can't hold back, we are the hometown of heroes, and we can't just be glorious in ordinary times, but we retreat on the spot at a critical time, that's not okay. ”

"So we all went, how can we fight for this breath, whether it is for Ye Daxia or for you, but also for ourselves, we are also the people of Datang. ”

Old man Li took another sip of water, put his hands behind his back, and slowly left with his body bent.

His voice still came: "Let's fight, we are the hometown of heroes, we can't embarrass Qingfeng, and we can't embarrass Ye Daxia." Jewel is in the past, and it should always be a little learned. ”

Ye Qingfeng stayed in place, his eyes widened, and suddenly there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't say a word with his mouth open, and let out a hoarse roar.

Ling Shuangyue hurriedly pulled him, shook her head and said, "Qingfeng, be calm, this is their choice." ”

Ye Qingfeng covered his face and cried: "I... I didn't expect them ... Frost Moon... I ......"

"I know, I know. ”

Ling Shuangyue hugged him from behind and said in a low voice: "I know all of it, you are moved, but you know that what they did is right, no one has a reason to stop them, this is the righteousness of the world." ”

Ye Qingfeng said: "Should I be happy? They are so great, but how can I let them go to death." ”

Ling Shuangyue said softly: "Everyone, who chooses to leave his parents, wife and children, and chooses to leave his hometown, needs to pay great courage and a great heart. Such a decision cannot be impulsive, nor can it be hot-headed. ”

"Aomine, they made such a decision after careful consideration, just like us, there is no difference. ”

"We choose to fight, how can we stop them from fighting?"

Ye Qingfeng shook his head and choked up, "Frost Moon, let's go home." ”

Ye Qingfeng ran, looking at the sparse pedestrians on the street, and rushed to the head of the town, he saw a long queue, hundreds of people were still lined up, countless people were gathered over there, some were crying, some were crying, and some were full of confidence.

Ye Qingfeng just watched, he didn't dare to get close, he didn't dare to think about how he would face these people if he showed up.

He took a deep breath, only to feel that his mind was in turmoil, and for a moment, he didn't even know how to deal with himself.

Ling Shuangyue was still holding his hand, she also sighed lightly, and said, "This is the common people in the world, Qingfeng, you have influenced them, they are all great people." ”

Ye Qingfeng clenched his fists, did not speak, but slowly turned around and returned to his small home.

He's starting to pack his things, he's leaving.

No, not leaving, but returning.

The battlefield is where he should go now.

Ling Shuangyue said, "Are you really leaving?"

"Hmm. ”

Ye Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "I don't know how to express my feelings, Shuangyue, these are my fellow villagers, I don't want them to have anything, but I am not qualified to stop them." ”

"What can I do? I can only go back to Tiance Mansion, I want to throw myself into the battle, I hope this battle can be won, I can win it sooner, I can pay less price, I can pay less price. ”

"I hope they all come back alive, try to come back alive, and come back as many people as possible. ”

"If they all die, how can I be worthy of their relatives, this place has already suffered a disaster, and there should be no second time. ”

Ling Shuangyue said in a low voice: "Okay, let's go back to Tiance Mansion, let's go to fight, I will always stand by your side." ”

And at this moment, in the distant Jiangnan, the narrow alleys were crowded with people everywhere, looking at Mu Zibai in front of them one by one.

"Mu Daxia, let's listen to you, don't make noise or make trouble, and get through this time. ”

"Yes, we all know the reason, the court is protecting us, and we will definitely not cause trouble to your soldiers. ”

"I want to join the army, fuck, let Lao Tzu leave his hometown, and Lao Tzu will cut off the heads of those water ghosts. ”

There was a lot of hustle and bustle, but there was no resentment on everyone's faces, only Mu Zibai and Hua Jieyu knew how difficult it was for more than a month.

Mu Zibai said: "Everyone be quiet, please listen to me." ”

The audience suddenly fell silent, and they all looked at Mu Zibai with respectful eyes, they had heard too many legends about Mu Zibai and Hua Jieyu.

Mu Zibai also looked at everyone and said loudly: "In the era of war, the control will be very strict, everyone must understand, the soldiers in front are going to spill blood, and we will also go to the battlefield, we hope that the people in the rear will be stable, more patient, and more understanding." ”

"You are settled, so that we can focus on fighting. ”

A bearded man patted his chest and said: "Mu Daxia, don't worry, with me Chen Huzi here, who the hell dares to make trouble? The soldiers are fighting for their lives and bleeding, if we shrunken turtles are not clean in the back, don't blame me Chen Huzi for turning his face and beating people." ”

"Count me in, fuck, whoever dares to make trouble for the soldiers on the front line, Lao Tzu will beat him up and call him grandpa. ”

There was a commotion at the scene, and Mu Zibai and Hua Jieyu glanced at each other, relieved.

The two walked out of the alley with everyone's respect, and Mu Zibai said, "It's time to go back." ”

"Hmm. ”

Hua Xie said: "This side has finally been pacified, but I'm afraid it won't last long, we must put into the battle as soon as possible." ”

Mu Zibai said: "Yes, this situation is really unstable. ”

The two have a tacit understanding, and they both seem to be able to feel each other's hearts.
