Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, and Jiang Yue said calmly, “Yes, he is the southern general.”
“Sanfu, he was telling the truth!” Even though Xue Wufu believed him last night, he still turned to Xue Sanfu. “Should we enter the military camp? He said he wanted us to enter the military camp.”
Xue Sanfu only looked in the direction that Shao Shuting and Shiye had left in, his thoughts unknown.
Seeing Xue Sanfu’s reaction, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan exchanged a glance before asking Xue Wufu, “Wufu, what about you? What do you think?”
“Me? I don’t know…” Xue Wufu was at a loss. After a long while, he quickly said, “But if Sanfu goes, then I… I would go too!” Finally, Xue Wufu made his decision. He was already 14 years old and would soon be an adult. He wanted to learn about the world as well!
Only then did Jiang Yue and Xue Yan turn to Xue Sanfu and call out, “Will you
In the end, Xue Sanfu didn’t even look at them. He was still looking in the direction that Shao Shuting and Shiye had left, but he said with certainty and indifferently, “I will.”
In the past, he had always been unable to find a goal in life, but now… It was as if he had found it all at once. He was very clear about his future, and that goal was to be in the military camp.
Since it was still early and no one at home had had breakfast, Xue Wufu told them about Shao Shuting being the general and that he and Xue Sanfu were going to join the army in three days, which was on the first day of the eighth month.
Liu Guixia and the others were shocked. They didn’t expect Shao Shuting to be a general. Xue Sifu was only dazed for a moment before he accepted it. After all, he had already guessed that Shao Shuting’s ident.i.ty was of a high status, but he didn’t expect it to be much higher than he had imagined.
Xue Dafu was also shocked, but the next moment, his eyes turned red and he mumbled, “The southern army… The southern army…”
“What’s wrong, Father? Do you know anything about the southern army?” Xue Erhu immediately asked.
I do…” Xue Dafu’s voice was trembling. “Your grandfather knows about it too. All my siblings know about it as well.”
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other before turning to Xue Dafu. They didn’t expect Xue Dafu to know about the southern army.
“We weren’t originally from Locust Village. This village didn’t exist before. In fact, the eight villages didn’t exist before. You should know this, right?
“Your grandfather and I became refugees because our hometown was caught in a war and flowed all the way here. I was only a teenager at that time, but it had been thirty years since then. At that time, except for your grandfather and I, all the other relatives in our hometown died in the war.
“Some people and I almost died there, but the southern army suddenly appeared and asked us to run here. The southern army saved us.
“I remember…”
Xue Dafu seemed to have recalled the scene.
“Many people died… There was no place to live, no food to eat, they were all begging for food… So was I. I was so hungry that I couldn’t even walk anymore…
“Everyone was so hungry that they couldn’t move… The southern army saw us and gave us their food… He also told everyone to run in this direction… It’s… It’s been thirty years since then…”
Although Liu Guixia was a teenager back then, she had followed her family to this place a long time ago and had not met the southern army, so she naturally did not know about this..
