Seeing that the sky was gradually darkening, the small basket behind Yi Feng was also filled with all kinds of wild vegetables and medicine.
Those wild vegetables were picked by Yi Feng along the way, and they tasted very good.
However, Yi Feng did not encounter any animals along the way. He also did not have the chance to try to absorb the souls of other animals to obtain other abilities.
"It's time to go back. Otherwise, mother and little sister will worry again.”
Yi Feng raised his head to look at the sky and thought to himself.
He went out a little late today, so he didn't go too far into the back mountain.
He could only wait for the next opportunity to make sufficient preparations before venturing deeper into the forest behind the mountain.
It was said that there were many powerful wild beasts in the depths of the back mountain. Wild boars, wolves, tigers, poisonous snakes, and so on. It was extremely dangerous.
Even the hunters in the village didn't dare to go deep alone. Every year, many hunters died inside.
Even though Yi Feng had obtained the strength of a bull after fusing with the bull soul, his strength had skyrocketed. But if he went in alone, it would still be filled with danger.
Before long, Yi Feng returned to the village entrance.
"Yi Feng, you're back. Li Zheng brought a few generals to your house to look for you.”
Yi Feng had just entered the village when an elder in the village spoke to him.
"Oh, thank you, Uncle Hu."
After Yi Feng heard this, he replied and then hurriedly ran home, thinking that something had happened at home again.
"Generals, my Feng 'er has just turned 14 this year, and his father died in battle at the front line not too long ago. Can you give him some time to complete his mourning period before enlisting?”
Just as he reached the door of his house, he saw a group of people gathered there. Then, he heard his mother's pleading voice from inside.
Obviously, his mother didn't want him to enlist.
"This, we don't dare to make this decision on our own. The king has already issued a conscription order, and all men who are fourteen years old or older must be conscripted.”
After hearing Yi Feng's mother's words, the leading general's tone softened a lot, and his eyes carried a trace of sympathy.
However, military orders were like mountains, especially the Qin country's military laws were very strict. Once one disobeyed, the consequences would be very serious.
Although they sympathized with Yi Feng's mother, they didn't dare to disobey military orders.
"Mother, let your son join the army!"
Seeing that his mother still wanted to say something, Yi Feng couldn't help but walk in and speak to his mother.
"I wonder when General will set off?”Yi Feng turned his head and asked the general beside him.
"After ten days, all the recruited personnel will gather at the village entrance. Then, someone will take you to the recruit barracks.”
That general sized Yi Feng up before speaking indifferently.
"Alright, Yi Feng will definitely meet up at the village entrance in ten days.”Yi Feng nodded his head and spoke very straightforwardly with a firm expression.
"Feng 'er!"
When his mother saw Yi Feng say this, she could not help shouting with a worried expression.
"Mother, your child has already grown up. Please let your child stay for a while.”
Yi Feng saw that his mother still wanted to open her mouth to persuade and could not help taking the initiative to open her mouth to interrupt.
The King of Qin had already issued a conscription order. There was no way to avoid it. It was better to accept it openly.
Moreover, he had already planned to join the army for a long time. What did it matter if it was a few years earlier or later?
More importantly, his mother and sister would only be able to live better lives if he made contributions on the battlefield. Otherwise, without a source of income, the family's land alone would not be able to support the three of them.
Since the autumn harvest had just ended, there was still a long time before the spring planting next year. There was no farm work to be done at home, so he could join the army. He might even be able to kill enemies on the battlefield and make contributions.
When he received the reward, his mother and sister's lives would improve, and they would not have to work so hard.
Yi Feng's mother saw that Yi Feng's attitude was so firm, so she didn't continue to speak. Her brows were tightly knitted, and the worried expression on her face became even thicker.
"Good, young man, not bad!" That general saw Yi Feng being so straightforward and decisive, having quite a manly spirit, and could not help praising.
"See you at the military camp in ten days!"
After the general finished speaking, he turned around and left.
"Mother, the wind is strong outside. Go into the house and rest. This child will help you brew the medicine.”
After the others had dispersed, Yi Feng came to his mother's side and said softly. As he spoke, he gave Yi Baixue a look.
"Mother, let me help you back to your room to rest.”Yi Baixue immediately reacted, and then she helped her mother into the house.
Yi Feng picked up the medicine he had picked up and went to boil it.
"Big brother, are you really going to join the army?”
Not long after, a voice came from behind Yi Feng. It was Yi Baixue's voice.
"Yes!" Yi Feng didn't turn his head and only softly replied. Then the two of them fell silent.
The sound of the stove fire continuously rang out.
"Eldest Brother, Xue 'er can't bear to part with you. Can you not go?”After a long time, Yi Baixue's voice came from behind him again.
It was just that the voice was very low at this time. Yi Feng couldn't help but turn his head to take a look and found that Yi Baixue was currently sobbing softly with her head lowered.
"Eldest Brother is only going to join the army. It's not like he's not coming back. Why are you crying?”
Yi Feng stood up and came in front of Yi Baixue, reaching out to gently wipe the tears off Yi Baixue's face.
"Don't worry, big brother will be back soon. When he comes back, I'll bring you a few more cows.”Yi Feng continued to comfort him.
"Really?"
Yi Baixue's eyes lit up when she heard the word 'bull'.
Because the old bull had not died yet, she was usually the one herding the cows.
It was a great thing to have a cow in the village. Every time she led the cow through the village, she could see the envious eyes of her other friends. She was very happy.
"Of course!" When Yi Feng saw this, his face involuntarily revealed a trace of a smile.
"After big brother leaves, I'll leave mother in your care.”Yi Feng continued to speak.
The person he was most worried about was his mother. Her body was weak to begin with, and she was also sick.
"Yes, Eldest Brother, don't worry. Xue 'er will take good care of Mother!”Yi Baixue nodded obediently.
"These few days, big brother will go to the mountains to pick more medicine to prepare. If mother falls ill, you can boil medicine for mother to drink.”Yi Feng continued to instruct.
"Yes, Xue 'er knows." Yi Baixue nodded.
When Yi Feng saw it, he felt much more at ease in his heart too.
……
Early the next morning, Yi Feng ate something before entering the mountain again.
