In the Blade

"So are we almost there?"

"Hurry, it will be here soon."

"How fast is that?"

"It's pretty quick anyway."

In the refugee convoy, old man Yang Xuanyang was taking the trouble to answer the children's questions. He could feel that the children were very tired from the journey. After all, even he himself was very tired.

Coming out of Jibei and traveling through various states, they, the refugees, had traveled more than a thousand miles... Although they had stopped and set up camp, the lingering fatigue still lingered on them. .

After all, they, the refugees, knew in their hearts that whether it was a temporary village or a temporary resting place, these were other people's places after all, and they were just staying there temporarily.

After all, it was not their home, not a place where they could truly feel at ease.

After their former homes were destroyed by war, they have all turned into rootless weeds. The grass will drift wherever the wind blows. In this increasingly crazy world, under this crisis-ridden sky, where can they settle down and find their destination?

And now, Feng has finally found his way back.

"When I get a place, I'm going to build a big training ground!"

In front of the team, Du Chengfeng, who was riding a horse, was thinking about a better life in the future.

"I can practice, and everyone can come and practice. When the time comes, I will be the head coach, Xiao Cui will be the assistant coach, and everyone's physical fitness will be improved... What do you mean I am actually playing for myself? Okay, forget it. I opened it for my own activities, and I built it myself. Are you going to hit me?”

"Why should I hit you?"

Liu Bolun on the carriage also rarely drank.

"I mean, it's a pity that you have such a big place by yourself. Why don't you just build a few more rows of monasteries and send the children to study... What do you mean by optimizing me? I look so bad. Is it suitable to be a mountain leader? I am the one who has really learned from the old man, right? Only I can hang the plaque of Ziyang Academy."

"Forget it, those two gatekeepers are more reliable than you."

Du Chengfeng laughed fiercely at Liu Bolun.

This is not even a simple verbal attack, but an objective fact. Although Liu Bolun is extremely talented, he spends all his energy on drinking. When it comes to teaching people to read, I am afraid it is really not as good as those two Shou Shan who have studied with Ruan Shantao. Doorman.

What's more, old man Qian Yuqian is also in the team now. No matter how you look at it, this old man is more suitable for managing the academy than an alcoholic.

If old man Qian Yuqian comes, at least when the students go to find the mountain leader, they can go directly to the mountain leader's monastery instead of taking a look at each wine vat one by one.

"By the way, who is that?"

Having said this, Du Chengfeng turned to look at the grassland general beside him.

"What are you calling a horse? If you want to build a horse farm, you may have to wait for a while. After all, we may not have enough fodder, and we cannot raise so many large animals for the time being..."

"It's easy to say, we can just herd sheep."

The grassland general was not wearing armor at the moment, but was wearing a leather jacket. Looking at this look, he really looked like an ordinary shepherd.

In other words, many of them, the prairie warriors, were originally shepherds. They gained elite status by daring to fight and risk their lives. Now, as surrendered soldiers, they can have a normal life. Life is already pretty good.

What's more, it feels different.

If they were still serving the Great Khan, then changing from soldiers to shepherds was called being demoted. If they were just deserters and went back to hide their names, then from being soldiers to shepherds, they would have nothing. But now, as soldiers, they suddenly turned into shepherds, which made them feel relaxed.

After all, they risk their lives and fight on the battlefield, isn't it just to live a peaceful life for a few more days?

"Come on, try to let everyone have meat to eat."

Du Chengfeng patted his shoulder.

At this moment, the grassland soldiers were truly integrated into the refugee team.

Du Chengfeng always welcomes people who are willing to build a home for themselves with their own hands.

Not just a few of them, but all the refugees and fellow villagers were also thinking about their future lives. Some wanted to cultivate more fields, and some wanted to build more houses... For a while, the whole team became lively. When they got up, even Cui Yuan, who had always lived a very energy-saving life, participated in the discussion.

"If anyone wants to learn to sword, you can come to me."

Cui Yuan, who has always been obsessed with swordsmanship, showed his tendency to socialize for the first time. Although many people had no intention of learning swordsmanship from him, this idea still won unanimous praise from everyone.

At this time, Du Chengfeng paused and stopped next to Carpenter Li.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Looking at the wooden man on the frame, Du Chengfeng was silent for a moment and then spoke.

"Is there anything you want to do?"

"I……"

The wooden man was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Although it didn't show anything in the past few days, the doubt hidden in my heart could not be forgotten after all - is it Carpenter Li? Or does it only carry a memory? If it is really Carpenter Li, what is the stick in his hand?

"Brother Du."

With a sigh, the wooden man picked up the stick and handed it to Du Chengfeng.

"Maybe... he is your brother, I just..."

"Hey, don't say that."

Du Chengfeng shook his head repeatedly.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. At this time...well, if you have to ask me this question, I actually don't know how to answer you."

Looking at the stick handed over by the wooden man, Du Chengfeng scratched his head.

"But if you think about it on the bright side, originally I only had one eldest brother in this world, and now I have two. Isn't this a good thing?"

"You..."

The wooden man was stunned.

"It seems so."

"Right."

Du Chengfeng nodded.

"So there is no need to care about this, don't think so much, at least for now, think more about good things, such as you can finally do what you want to do, you will have a carpentry workshop, and you will make a lot of things... You can even pass your craft to your children and keep your craft alive..."

"That's the thing."

The wooden man thought for a while, then scratched his head.

"Actually, this is what I think is the most problematic part."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"Look, there are two me now, right?"

The wooden man pointed at himself and then at the stick.

"Who should the children call daddy?"

The second update arrived, and everyone went to bed early.

Also: Thank you all for your recommendation votes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.

I also went to bed early, good night everyone.
