On the afternoon of the second day, the ugly man carried a long sword, three wolves, and more than ten wolf skins on his back as he descended the mountain.
He did not find his father. He only found a bloodstained sword and scattered footsteps in a canyon. Those were the clothes his father wore before he went up the mountain.
The ugly man knew that he could not find his father.
When the ugly man entered the village, he didn't even look at her. His cold eyes revealed a sense of unapproachable.
No one knew what he had experienced last night.
The villagers in the village saw that the ugly man's clothes were torn and tattered. There seemed to be too much blood on them and they had turned black.
When the villagers saw the three wolves on the muscular man's shoulder, they covered their mouths in disbelief. When he saw the thick roll of wolf skin on the ugly man's back, the shock in his eyes could be imagined.
The man-eating beast in the mountains was killed by the ugly man?
His sister-in-law,'Noriko,' was also in the crowd. She covered her small mouth, and her beautiful face was filled with worry. When she saw the longsword, she seemed to know something. Her beautiful eyes turned red.
Looking at his ice-cold gaze, Noriko had no idea what Ushio had just experienced.
Ever since she married into this family, in her eyes, Ushio had always been the person who would often make her feel awkward, the person who would always look at her with a gentle smile.
How did he kill so many wolves?
Noriko couldn't believe how Ushio had managed to do it, but she knew that Ushio must have had a narrow escape.
.....
Under the gazes of the villagers, the ugly man came before a white-haired, thin old man and slowly stopped in his tracks.
"Fourth Duke! I'll join the army in half a month. I'll leave my mother and sister-in-law in your care!”
After saying that, the ugly man placed the two wolves and the wolf skin on their backs on the ground.
Enlisting in the army was a path that the ugly husband had already decided to take.
During the Warring States Period, the Qin Emperor would definitely unify the world. At that time, those who contributed would definitely be rewarded heavily.
Ugly husband thought it through.
As a man, he had abilities that others could not possess. Why not go to the battlefield and establish his fame?
In this chaotic world, no place was safe.
He looked at the old man in front of him and heard the highly respected fourth duke of the village say 'okay'. Only then did he carry a wolf and walk home.
........
When the ugly husband returned home, his mother fainted from crying. Noriko sat in front of the door with her ugly husband.
"Why is my uncle so determined to enlist? You can also get a title by farming at home."
Noriko's eyes turned red as she watched Ushio sharpen his sword.
According to Great Qin's laws, men who had no father, children, brothers, or elders could not join the army.
Ji Zi, who was not even fourteen years old yet, did not dare to imagine that in the future, there would only be her and her mother left at home. If something happened to her ugly husband, it would be inevitable.
Looking at his sister-in-law who was so young, the ugly husband's cold expression revealed a rare trace of gentleness.
He knew what Kiko was thinking. Now that his mother was seriously ill, they were the only ones who could manage the household. If he joined the army. In that case, all the jobs in this family would be on the shoulders of Kiko, who wasn't even 14 yet.
"Two years at the fastest, three years at the slowest. I will definitely return!"
This was Ushio's promise to Noriko. Now, Qin Shihuang was already preparing to attack the Han Country.
The next step was to attack the Six Nations.
Last night's incident made the ugly husband understand that in this world, the weak and the strong would never change. It was dangerous everywhere, so why not go to the battlefield and fight for a future?
“......”
Pursing her lips, Noriko held back the tears in her beautiful eyes. She knew that her husband had already made up his mind.
However, she really couldn't bear to see that thin and ugly husband who had brought her gentle and refined husband to the battlefield. He didn't want to be alone.
Perhaps it was because she thought of the gentle smile on his handsome face in the past, but she couldn't help but tear up.
"Ji Zi. I'll leave the family to you!"
..........
In the following half a month, my mother gradually got over the sadness of losing her husband. My ugly husband also went to the mountains twice and found the herbs that my father could not find.
After drinking the herbs, as expected, my mother's body slowly improved.
For the past half a month, Kiko had become silent. She often followed her ugly husband to the fields to prepare things in advance.
In the past, she couldn't learn how to use the bamboo cage when Ushio taught her, but in this half a month, not only did she learn how to use it, but she had also become familiar with how to weave the bamboo cage.
The small village did not have many people, so Si Gong distributed the wolf meat and skin to the villagers that day. There were many things that Kiko didn't know how to do, and the women in the East and West villages would carefully teach her.
The conscription call came to this small village as expected. It stuck to the giant tree in the village.
Two Qin soldiers wearing military armor and carrying long swords sat under a big tree, patiently walking with the four buses.
In Ushio's house, Noriko's pretty face was covered in tears as she covered her mouth and looked at Ushio with teary eyes.
The ugly husband's mother's eyes were also red from crying. However, she still carefully combed her husband's hair and carefully tied it up with a hairpin.
After everything was done, the ugly man slowly stood up and smiled.
"Mother, don't cry. I'll go to the battlefield to earn fame."
Ushio looked at Noriko as he wiped away his mother's tears.
Noriko's teary eyes shifted to one side as she whimpered.
Not long after, the two Qin soldiers saw a thin and handsome young man walking over.
