"It's okay." Yun Yang said with a smile: "Don't worry, old man, my injury is no longer serious, and I have medicine on me. If I go to the battlefield, in my current condition, it will take at least half a month to arrive, and This half month of free time is enough to recuperate from your injuries."
The old man sighed.
Traveling and recuperating are contradictory actions.
If you are driving with all your strength, it is extremely rare to prevent the injury from getting worse. How can you recover from your injuries while driving? It is really nonsense, and you are fooling yourself...
However, in the end, there was no choice but to let it go.
Seeing that Yun Yang had made up his mind to leave and it was useless to resist, the old doctor said softly: "You may choose to take a slight detour and climb back over the mountain where we are, and you will be able to see a grassland, as long as you don't go too deep on the other side. If you stay in the mountains and forests, you will not encounter dangerous mysterious beasts." First published on the website
Yun Yang said: "Huh?"
What does the old man mean when he suddenly says this
Time is running out now, do you still want me to take a detour? Even if there is no danger, it is still a totally different choice. Does it mean something else
"On that vast grassland... there are groups of wild horses..." the old man said, "at least hundreds of thousands of them, or even more. Since you have advanced cultivation, you can find a way to capture a wild horse." It shouldn’t be a difficult task, and I believe it will be of great help to this trip as I have an extra leg to help me travel.”
"Anyway, it can save you some energy to heal your injuries."
Yun Yang suddenly understood after hearing this, and then recalled that when he saw this small village before, basically every family had a horse, and each one was very impressive; the twelve and a half young men left At that time, the war horses held by everyone were of the highest quality, and it turned out that the root cause was all here.
"I'll go check it out."
Yun Yang's heart skipped a beat.
With my legs like this, it would be much easier if I had a good horse.
late at night.
Yun Yang left quietly without notifying other people in the village. Only the old man saw him off.
Unexpectedly, when the old man sent Yun Yang out, he found that half the village was here.
He stood quietly in the night, quietly watching Yun Yang leave.
Several old men came forward tremblingly, followed by several women behind them.
The old man took two packages from the hands of the women and said sincerely: "Strong man, you are going to the battlefield to fight for my Yutang, so be careful. We are old and weak and can no longer set foot on the battlefield... At home. The women rushed through the night to make ten pairs of cloth shoes, twenty kilograms of cakes, and a piece of horse harness... They asked the strong man to accept them with their sincerity, so as to show their strength."
Yun Yang looked around and clearly saw a few women in the crowd paying special attention to him, and in each of their hands, there was a small package.
Those women were the mothers of the twelve and a half young men who left.
Seeing this, Yun Yang suddenly felt his heart heat up, and he felt a heartfelt feeling of envy that he couldn't suppress.
So far in Yun Yang's life, what he longs for most is the care of his relatives, but he doesn't know whether it is a trick of heaven. Not only has his parents disappeared since he was a child, and the relationship has been broken, but every relative who has been recognized by Yun Yang so far has had a rough life. Jiu Zun, Yun Zuiyue, and Lao Dugu Jin all had a hard time seeing each other again. Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan inexplicably provoked powerful men like Lei Dongtian, and they never regained their true colors in a few years. It shows that those who are close to Yun Yang will decline, mourn, be sad, desolate, and die, without exception!
However, because of this, Yun Yang envied people who were cared for by their relatives even more, and especially cherished that care!
"Thank you!"
Yun Yang solemnly took the package, carried it carefully on his back, and bowed deeply: "Thank you very much! Take care, fellow villagers! If I am still alive after this battle, I will definitely come back to meet with you all."
"A strong man is a very special person. This trip will definitely make great achievements. He will pay homage to the feudal princes and generals, and the princes will be kings for generations. A righteous man like a strong man will go to the battle specially. It is because God will not destroy our Yutang!" Several old people looked at him seriously. , the voice was sincere, like an oath.
At this time, the mothers of the children came out together.
"The strong man is the teacher of those boys. The mother of those children knew that the strong man was leaving, so she had to do her best no matter what. However, the strong man had only two hands and was injured, so he couldn't take much. The old man made the decision, so let him Each of them sewed two pairs of cloth shoes. Please don’t dislike them, strong men, and fill them in your luggage!"
Yun Yang's throat rolled, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The twenty-four pairs of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles were neatly placed in front of him.
Each pair is sewn with the strongest linen thread, and the stitching is extremely fine; the soles are truly mille-feuille soles made from homemade starch. There is also the upper, which is actually made of hard wire snakeskin. Finally, the upper, although it is just the most ordinary soft fabric, has a thin layer of cotton sewn into it, although it is not very beautiful. But absolutely strong, comfortable and durable.
This is the most practical and best farewell gift!
It was also the most homely gift Yun Yang had received so far in his life, and it actually made him feel more intimate!
"Thank you!" Yun Yang saluted solemnly and said, "If I can meet a few little guys in the army, I will try my best to look after them. I hope that the twelve of them can come back one by one!"
Twelve women saluted at the same time, their eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you, teacher, for taking care of me!"
Their attitude is so pious.
It seems that a guarantee from the person in front of him can keep his son safe and sound among thousands of troops!
Yes, at least for them, this guarantee is certain.
But in fact... Even if the power of the Nine Lords of Yun Yang is not lost, they cannot guarantee the safety of anyone on the battlefield!
He can only say that he will try his best and do his best!
"A brave man has a good journey, and he will soon succeed!" The whole village, old, young, women and children, bowed at the same time with a sonorous voice.
"Defeat Dongxuan, strengthen our Yutang! Bless our people, protect our common people!"
Yun Yang, carrying a large package on his back, also saluted solemnly.
Then, he strode away, just like the twelve young men that day, never looking back.
Because he knew that everyone was looking at his back.
The more determined you are, the more confident you are.
If they turn around at this time, they will appear to be feeling guilty and will make them doubt the safety of their children.
This is not a situation that Yun Yang wants to see!
Yun Yang's figure finally completely disappeared at the intersection, just like the twelve young people that day, who didn't know when they would return!
Until this moment, no one in the village moved, only gentle sighs came from everyone's mouth.
"What a good young man..."
The old doctor sighed and said no more.
After a long time, everyone dispersed.
When they returned home, every family member couldn't help but exclaimed.
On the table of every household, there are two heavy ingots of gold!
Each ingot of gold is worth ten taels.
Two ingots of gold will at least allow these families to have enough food and clothing for the next few years!
Everyone went out to inquire, only to find out that every family had two ingots of gold!
There is nothing more and nothing less.
No one doubts the origin of the gold. Everyone knows that the gold was secretly placed in his home by the strong man who just left. However, so many people did not notice when he did this. thing.
On the table of the old doctor, in addition to two ingots of gold, there was also a letter with several lines of dragon and phoenix dancing written on it -
"Pearls and jade are not as valuable as human hearts. How can gold buy deep love? Young people serve the country, and women and children still need to make a living. Don't be dissatisfied with your little heart. When I go to the battlefield, I will try my best to keep the children in this village safe. Please rest assured, fathers and elders. Waiting for the victory. On that day, let’s drink wine and get drunk together. If you don’t get drunk then, it will be a joy in life!”
There is no signature below.
But the old doctor knew who wrote it. His body trembled and tears filled his eyes with excitement. He then took out the note and showed it to the whole village. Everyone was inexplicably grateful and felt a lot more at ease.
This strong man knew that without the young people in the village, the future livelihood would inevitably be difficult; however, with the gold he left behind, it was enough to ensure that the entire village had a relatively stable and prosperous life!
Even if this war lasts for three to five years, all this gold will be enough!
His arrangements were really meticulous to the extreme.
"This man has a delicate mind, possesses profound mystical skills, and behaves with the air of a master... But I don't know who he is? It is a blessing that our small village has the chance to meet such a big man..."
An old man sighed softly.
…
Yun Yang left Huangshankou Village and headed eastward, arriving at the big mountain that the old doctor had mentioned. Yun Yang, who had regained his mobility and some of his mysterious skills, climbed up easily, and it took only half an hour. , I was already on the top of the mountain. Looking around, I could only see the darkness below. I couldn’t see carefully. However, since I had already arrived here, I naturally didn’t need to look back and climbed down carefully. When I reached the foot of the mountain, I saw that there was thick material under my feet. of white snow, and thick withered grass beneath the white snow.
Sure enough, there seemed to be the sound of a large number of galloping horses in the distance, roaring in and roaring away.
This is really a natural horse farm. Even in the middle of winter, the horses are still joyful.
To be fair, the old doctor really gave Yun Yang an excellent choice. At this time, Yun Yang had lost all his supernatural powers. Although his own mysterious skills had recovered, he was still far away from being perfect. If he could walk on two legs alone, he would be Going to the Eastern Front, even if it takes half a month, it is difficult to fully recover from the injuries, but if there is a good horse as a means of transportation, the situation will be greatly different, otherwise Yun Yang would not really come here as the old doctor said , looking for a satisfying mount!
At dawn, the sky lights up again.
As far as he could see, Yun Yang saw a spectacular scene that he had only seen in his life; from the far side of the snow-capped mountains and clouds, a group of huge wild horses galloping towards them that were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. , the hundreds of thousands the old doctor said was actually a very conservative statement. From Yun Yang's point of view, the number of wild horses must be at least millions, or even more!
