"But I have to go."
"Why…"
"When I capture the enemy's head, I'll be able to be conferred the title of nobility. At that time, I'll be able to marry you grandly and won't have to make you suffer anymore.”
"Don't…I don't want to!"
"What's wrong, Xiao Yao?"
"I only want you, Boor. I don't want that kind of life.”
Mengyao's small hands held Boor tightly. Her watery eyes were a little red, as if she was about to cry.
Although meritorious service on the battlefield could improve the quality of life.
However, all of this required one to fight with one's life. In the entire Mang Family Village, only one person had returned alive.
At that time, even if you took the enemy's head and made a lot of contributions, so what? The person you were waiting for would never return.
"Don't cry, you're going to turn into a kitten.”
Boor said as he wiped the tears from Mengyao's eyes.
In this chaotic world, there was no safe place in the world. If he didn't improve his strength and go to the battlefield to make a name for himself, he wouldn't be able to protect Mengyao in the future.
"Gu gu gu ~~~"
Boor's stomach made a rumbling sound.
Hearing the sound of hunger, Mengyao immediately broke into laughter and wiped her tears with her sleeve.
"I'll help you cook."
"Yes."
“...........”
After dinner, Boor did not go out, but stayed by Mengyao's side, waiting for the little girl to fall asleep.
Boor, on the other hand, closed his eyes and rested, waiting for something.
"Meow ~~~ Meow ~~~"
Suddenly, the sound of cats meowing could be heard outside.
Boor opened his eyes and stood up from the wooden bed. He casually picked up the axe that he used to chop firewood at home and quietly pushed open the wooden door. He turned around and glanced at Mengyao, who was sleeping soundly, and tiptoed out.
When he was about ten meters away from the house, an agile figure suddenly ran over.
"Hey, boor, you're finally here.”
"Your meowing is really unpleasant.”
"Hey, hey, hey, stop laughing at me. Are you interested in making a big deal tonight?”
"Not interested."
"Don't reject me so quickly. I've discovered a herd of deer. If we..."
"There are also wolves and tigers on the mountain at night.”
"That's why I came to find you. You're the strongest local soldier in our village. With you by my side, it's very safe.”
This young man, who was as agile as a monkey, was called Reckless Wind. He was one of the few young men in the village.
He had a good relationship with Boor, and he often had some small tricks up his sleeve. When he was lucky, he could run into a dead mouse.
"Wouldn't it be safer to move with everyone tomorrow?”
"Night is the time when animals are the least vigilant. Moreover, who knows where the deer herd will run off to tomorrow.”Reckless Wind patted Boor's shoulder and said," It's almost winter now, and you're going to join the army. If you don't leave something for your wife, this winter will be hard."”
“...........”
Boor immediately fell into deep thought.
Indeed, it wouldn't be long before he joined the army and fought on the battlefield.
However, it was almost winter now, and there would be less and less prey. Moreover, there would be no harvest of tea leaves. Moreover, there was not much corn at home. It would not be good to leave Mengyao at home without preparing anything.
"How is it? Are you interested?"
"Yes, lead the way."
The two of them packed up their equipment and brought a water bag with them. Then, they entered the mountain under the cover of the night.
Boor brought an axe for chopping firewood, while Reckless Wind brought a knife for cutting meat and a hunting bow.
When they arrived at the mountain, they saw that the forest was densely packed here. It was even more sinister and terrifying at night.
The cold wind kept whistling, and it was a little bone-chilling. The thin cloth clothes he wore could not withstand the temperature of the night.
"How long until we arrive?"
"It should be soon. I noticed that the deer herd is resting here.”
"This is the third time you've said that.”
"Hehe, the sky is too dark and I can't recognize the road.”
Reckless Wind scratched his head and said in embarrassment.
Suddenly, he saw Boor raise the axe in his hand, aiming it in the direction of his head and throwing it directly at him.
"Swoosh-"
Accompanied by the sound of the wind breaking, it sounded in his ears.
Reckless Wind instantly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave. He was ice-cold from head to toe.
If the axe had been a little further away, it would have definitely chopped off half of his head.
Wow, that can't be. I just led the wrong way. There's no need to directly throw the axe over and kill me here, right?!
"Awoo!"
The wolf's howl immediately sounded in their ears.
Reckless Wind turned around and saw a jackal with an axe embedded in its head lying beside him.
One could imagine that if the axe had not killed the jackal, what awaited him would have been his throat being torn apart.
"Gulp!"
Subconsciously swallowing his saliva, Mang Feng hurriedly ran to Boor's side.
Only by staying beside this strongest local soldier could he feel a sense of security in the forest at night.
