Time passed day by day. It had been three months since Luo Yuan settled down in the Jade Gate Pass River Village.
During these three months, Luo Yuan had been familiarizing himself with this world.
At the same time, he knew what year it was.
It was now the eighth year of Zhenguan, and Li Shimin had already ascended the throne eight years after the coup of Xuanwu Sect.
But this year, something big happened.
That was, Tuyuhun had invaded the borders of the Great Tang. It was also this year that the Great Tang had allied with the Tibetans and obtained their help to attack Tuyuhun, finally obtaining victory in this Kingdom War.
It was also during this period of time that the Jade Gate Pass, which was at the border, could be said to be filled with smoke.
The mobilization of soldiers and civilians was very frequent. Even in this remote river village, one could occasionally see troops walking past in the distance.
However, this had nothing to do with Luo Yuan for the time being. He just wanted to quietly enjoy the hard-earned life.
In his previous life, he was terminally ill and passed away at the age of seventeen.
After that, he obtained the system and was reborn. Although he had become a zombie that was neither human nor ghost, he could at least enjoy this beautiful world.
However, sometimes, when you are in this world, you will have no choice but to integrate into this world for some reason.
On this day, Luo Yuan returned to the village with a lot of prey on his back.
Within three months, Luo Yuan had become familiar with the villagers.
Later, in order to make ends meet and help the villagers, Luo Yuan often went into the mountains to hunt.
Even some of the older hunters didn't dare to say that they would gain something every time. But Luo Yuan could. Every time he entered the mountains, he would return with a full load.
Every time they brought back prey, they would be able to feed the entire village for three days.
Therefore, Luo Yuan's reputation in River Village was very good. In the past few days, there had been an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage.
The two old women were also very good to Luo Yuan. Because they didn't have any children, they treated Luo Yuan like their own.
Every time he brought back a prey, Luo Yuan would bleed it out. In reality, he was the one who drank it.
As for the explanation given to the villagers, if the prey was alive, it would be very difficult to bring it back if it struggled.
Everyone believed it because some old hunters would do the same.
Of course, there was some danger. After all, the smell of blood would attract some hunters.
"Eh?"
Luo Yuan frowned as he approached the village.
He smelled many unfamiliar scents in the village. As a zombie, he was naturally very sensitive to human scents.
He wasn't a low-level zombie who couldn't identify his target by holding his breath.
Worried about the village, Luo Yuan hastened his pace.
They finally arrived at the village. At this moment, the entire village was gathered in the square.
River Village was actually quite big, although it was remote.
There were over a hundred households. It was considered a very large village in the surrounding area.
Luo Yuan saw Old He and his wife from afar.
He didn't go forward, but looked at the officer in the distance, wanting to see what was going on.
It turned out that Tuyuhun had invaded the border, and the Yamen of Jade Gate Pass had received orders from the Imperial Court to stop Tuyuhun's army before Li Jing's army arrived.
However, this time, Tuyuhun had sent 200,000 troops. This was not something that Jade Gate Pass could resist!
In the end, the Jade Gate Pass yamen issued a conscription order.
Every household at Jade Gate Pass had to send a man to join the army regardless of age to protect the country.
Naturally, Kawamura was not spared.
"He Ergou?"
An officer was mumbling to the household register. The old man who adopted Luo Yuan trembled and replied bitterly.
"Yes."
The officer nodded.
"He Ergou's family consists of a husband and wife, and one male. He Ergou will follow us later.”
At this moment, there were many young people from River Village standing behind this officer.
The families with sons were all young and strong, and the officers chose them directly.
However, the two elders who adopted Luo Yuan had no children. They were the only ones in the family, so they could only go.
The old man whispered to his wife. After that, he dragged his old body toward the crowd.
Luo Yuan frowned. Although they had only known each other for three months, the elders were really good to him. Because they didn't have children, they treated Luo Yuan like their own.
Luo Yuan, who had lost his family when he was young, felt a long-lost kinship from the two elders.
With his age, he would definitely die on the battlefield. How could Luo Yuan turn a blind eye?
Under everyone's shocked expressions, Luo Yuan strode out.
"General, He Ergou's family isn't just made up of two elders. I'm their adopted son, so I should join the army in my father's place.”
For a moment, the entire village fell silent.
Everyone looked at Luo Yuan in shock. When did Luo Yuan become He Ergou and his wife's adopted son?
