When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shines on this quiet village, the mist floating in the air slowly dissipates. The willows sway in the wind, accompanied by the chirping of insects and birds, as if to cater to the washing of the sun. If you walk in it, it will give you a dreamlike feeling.
When the sun covered the whole village, people had already got up early and started a busy day. This is a village located in the northernmost part of the Wanling Continent, called Huangtu Village. It is separated from the Central Empire by thousands of mountains. Due to its remote location, So even if there is a war, it will not affect this peaceful small village. The villagers in the village have lived here almost for generations.
The black clouds hang low, the wind blows, the trees are uprooted, and the lightning and thunder continue in the black clouds, shaking the world, as if the end is coming; at this time, the people on the ground are as small and fragile as ants, crying ghosts and howling wolves. The surrounding mountains were smashed by lightning, and the rocks rolled down to the village below the mountain.
Among the panicked crowd, a child was crying hysterically at his parents, but that fragile voice was powerlessly annihilated in this doomsday, and the child also fainted from exhaustion, and then more rocks rolled in.
"Father, is it time for the empire to come to us to select villagers to join the army in a few days? I also want to participate this year." The boy followed his father with a hoe on his shoulders, and carefully expressed his thoughts to his father.
This kid is called Ma Yunteng, seventeen years old, and he is a troublemaker in the village, but the villagers are easy-going by nature and don¡¯t care too much about it. More often, Ma Yunteng can bring people more laughter. It added a lot of color to their boring life. The uncles and aunts in the village even told Ma Yunteng that it was a joke to come to his house to be their son, but it can be seen that he is still very pleasing in the village. of.
Walking in front was a man in his forties or fifties, of medium build, with slightly gray hair at the temples, a little stubble on his face, and dark and rough skin from years of sun exposure, but he should have been a handsome man when he was young , he is Ma Yunteng's father, Ma Tai.
Although his father has been very kind to him since he was a child, and he will rely on him for everything, but every time he talks about joining the army, he will be educated by his father. When I told my father about this last year, my father was so angry that he hit him with a willow stick. Fortunately, my mother stopped him in time, otherwise it would have been inevitable.
Ma Yunteng followed Chen Mo's hand and looked at the girl in purple. His eyes lit up, and he felt that she was much more beautiful than Xiaoyue. Senior brother really has vision.
Stealing money bags is naturally easy for Ma Yunteng, but stealing people's money bags for no reason, Ma Yunteng has no such hobby, so he asked: "Master, why did you steal her money bag? She doesn't seem to be showing off her wealth." Bar."
"Well, junior brother, look, the transparent veil she wears is equivalent to no one. This kind of woman is too contrived, and I can't get used to it. You know I don't steal women, so I have to let junior brother do it for you." Yes, junior brother, you won't play tricks!" Chen Mo replied.
Hearing this was a bit confusing, it was not a reason, and he was not good at really playing tricks, so Ma Yunteng had no choice but to bite the bullet, thinking it was just stealing a purse, at worst, stealing it for the senior brother to see, no matter how clever Unknowingly went back. 强牺 lingchenks.com 读牺
Ma Tai turned around slowly, looked at Ma Yunteng who had grown up, and looked at his firm eyes, as if he saw the high-spirited and somewhat arrogant self. At that time, I also begged my father to let me join the army of the empire, hoping to stand out and make a big difference. At that time, my father was also very opposed to me, but in the end I ignored my father's opposition and joined the army. But when I saw the outside world, I realized how small I was and how naive my thoughts were. When I finally returned to the village and tried my best to be filial, all I saw was a tomb and an empty house.
Recalling the scenes at that time, I feel indescribably sad. At this time ling ch enks.com Zhang Si
"Father, mother¡ª¡ª" Ma Yunteng sat up straight from the bed, as if he had exhausted all his strength in sitting up, and fainted on the bed again in an instant, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
"Hey, I dreamed about that disaster again. This is the seventh time in three days. I wonder if you can survive it." A man with a tired face beside the bed said to himself pitifully as if he hadn't woken up. language.
Early the next morning, the tired man was helping Ma Yunteng wipe the sweat off his forehead when he suddenly saw Ma Yunteng's eyes blinking, as if he was about to wake up.
"Father, your face is so ugly. If you really don't want me to go, then I will stay here with you and mother for the rest of my life." Ma Yunteng looked.Wearing plain clothes, her hair was draped behind her back, and her delicate and elegant face had some wrinkles over time. This is Ma Tai's wife, Ma Yunteng's mother, Lu Ling.
The middle-aged man's face froze, and he said calmly again: "Just wake up, don't talk, don't think about anything else, let's talk about the injury, okay." Then he turned sideways and said to the man who didn't wake up, "Youth Shu, I think your little brother is also hungry, you go get a bowl of porridge to warm his belly, I will leave it to you here, let's go out first, let him rest well." After finishing speaking, without waiting for anyone to answer, he turned and went to Go outside.
The middle-aged man just turned around, and a girl with an innocent and lovely face suddenly approached Ma Yunteng, excitedly, and said, "Little brother, I am your senior sister!" It seems that being a senior sister is a very satisfying thing , She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by the middle-aged master who had just walked to the door with his eyes back, and she stuck out her tongue at Ma Yunteng and ran outside.
Regarding the behavior of this girl, Ma Yunteng can only smile wryly at this time

"Mother, Dad said that I can go to the military gate of the imperial capital. When they come to select candidates, I want to participate in the selection."
While talking, Lu Ling had already picked up the towel to help Ma Yunteng dry off his sweat, then put down the towel, and asked Ma Tai in surprise, "Did you promise him?".
"Eh After all a child can't be by his parents forever, he has to learn to grow up, as a parent, you should trust him and support him."
Ma Tai could hear Lu Ling's teasing. After all, he used to hold opposing opinions, but Lu Ling always supported his son to go. He even quarreled with Lu Ling about this matter, and now he is somewhat embarrassed.
"Yun Teng hasn't learned any decent martial arts until now. Look at the daughter of the Liu family at the head of the village. She has been learning since she was six years old. It's all because you have always opposed it. Yun Teng is now seventeen years old. How can you catch up?" Go to someone else's house." Lu Ling complained.
Not long after, the sleepy-faced man came in with the porridge, and seemed to see that Ma Yunteng had just cried, and said warmly: "Little brother, the porridge is a bit hot, let me blow it for you; by the way, I don't know your name yet." What name, my name is Lan Tian, ??this name is easy to remember, you can just call me Second Senior Brother from now on."
Looking at the tired face of Lan Tian, ??Ma Yunteng couldn't help but feel grateful in his heart. He rarely squeezed out a smile and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. My name is Ma Yunteng. I want to know, where are my father, my mother, and the rest of our village?"
Lan Tian knew that this matter was cruel to a child, but he had to face it after all. He looked at Ma Yunteng and said, "You still have us."
Hearing this already affirmed answer, Ma Yunteng was neither sad nor happy, lying on the bed and continuing to look at the roof.
There is no unparalleled path in the sky. When there is a catastrophe and apocalypse, there will always be a glimmer of life. This may be the so-called way of heaven.
And Ma Yunteng is the lifeline that survived the catastrophe.
"For Yunteng, one week is enough. I believe in my son, besides, he should pursue what he wants to do when he is young. Otherwise, when he is old, he will look back on his life and find that his life is wasted What's the point of such a life." Ma Tai looked at his wife and comforted him.
To control the big and to control the owl. "Mom, I have grown up, I want to become stronger, I want to protect you and dad, I want to pursue my own ideals, I firmly believe that I have the ability to protect myself and my family." Ma Yunteng hugged Lu Ling buried his head on Lu Ling's shoulder, wanting his mother to know that he was no longer that kid who could only make trouble.
Lu Ling wiped his wet eyes, and said: "Since your father has promised you, what else can mother say, mother is afraid that you are not deep in the world, what should you do if you meet bad people outside, natural disasters and man-made disasters are the most difficult It¡¯s still people¡¯s hearts that are predicted.¡±
"Mother, don't worry, if there is a villain, I will become stronger and defeat him." Ma Yunteng patted his chest and smiled at Lu Ling
