"Uncle, those are Xingluo soldiers... Do we really want to listen to that prince and attack them? Even if it's not a trap, we don't need to do this step..."

The young man couldn't understand why his uncle would follow the arrangement of the blond young man who claimed to be the Prince of Xingluo and come here to die.

People like myself are not those powerful soul masters, they are just the most ordinary ordinary people, not even soldiers. Why should we bear the burden that should not fall on ourselves?

The young man didn't understand.

The strong man counted the fire sticks in his waist pocket, made a gesture with his accomplices who were also hiding in the surrounding woods and had their faces smeared with mud and sap, and then gently patted the head of the young man next to him.

, said quietly:

"What do you mean it's unnecessary? We are Tiandou people, and they are Star Luo soldiers who oppress us. This reason alone is enough, why is it unnecessary?"

After that, the strong man took out three fire sticks from his pocket and handed them to the young man. He pursed his lips and said, "I know you are good at shooting slingshots. You will be behind and shoot towards the places where the food and supplies are stored. Do you understand?"

?”

"Oh..." The young man took the note from the strong man and responded softly.

In addition to mud and weeds, there are always all kinds of strange mosquitoes on the forest floor. Although the boy has comforted himself many times that these are normal phenomena, the buzzing sound still makes him upset.

Confused.

Especially when he thought about what he was going to do later, the young man felt even worse.

The planned action was in the evening, and there was still a short period of time before the sun set. The young man felt that he couldn't hold it in any longer, and he always wanted to do something to distract his attention from the flying insects around him.

Pulling the uncle's clothes next to him again, the young man lowered his voice to avoid being heard by the soldiers outside, and whispered:

"Uncle, why do we do these things? Even the principality's army and soul masters have left. We are just the most ordinary ordinary people. Why do we do these life-or-death things..."

Hearing the young man's words, the strong man with the colorful face turned around, his eyes widened as big as bells, and looked at him very strangely: "From birth to death... Where did you learn such a refined word?"

The young man smiled and scratched his butt, stared at the armored warrior in the distance, and whispered: "Uncle Fahan taught me some time ago, saying that this is called an idiom, and only educated people can say it. Hehe,

Uncle, I will also be a literate person from now on!"

The strong man turned his head again and curled his lips with disdain: "Huan Wenren, don't hang out with that guy Fahan in the future. What's the use of studying? Those noble soul masters who have studied have run away long ago. Why don't you?"

Do we have to rely on us uneducated old men to fight guerrillas?"

"Besides, Fahan is not considered a cultural person. He has read several cookbooks and pretended to be so, haha."

"Ah-Dai, from now on, listen to your uncle and train your body well, get in touch with more people, move around more and gain more knowledge. That's the right way to go. Don't hang out with that piece of shit like Fahan all day long."

Speaking of this strong man, he spat, as if the man named Fahan was something that people hated and dogs hated.

Seeing his uncle's behavior, the young man could only pretend to smile.

"As for why we still have to stay and fight even though the army and those soul masters have left..."

"Dumb, let's not talk about the soul masters who are still in the principality to fight against the Xingluo army. You must understand one thing first. We are ordinary people."

The young man was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand what his uncle meant: "...Yes, we are ordinary people, so why do we still participate in these things?"

Rubbing Ah-Dai's head, the strong man said: "Ah-Dai, have you ever thought about it, soul masters actually only occupy a very small part of the world, while ordinary people like us occupy the vast majority of the world."

most."

"And the only ones who can truly protect and understand ordinary people are us as ordinary people. No matter how considerate a powerful soul master is, he cannot truly see the world from the same perspective as us."

"Now that the principality's army is gone, the adults of Wuhun Palace also need to remain neutral. If we, as ordinary people, don't stand up to protect our compatriots at this time, who can protect everyone?"

"Ah-Dai, you have to know that whether we are soul masters or not, we humans need to keep working hard for an infinite future."

"Although we ordinary people are insignificant, with mutual support and help, we can have the power to resist the enemy and leave our traces and voices for the people and the country."

The strong man's voice was very soft, but it was very deep in the young man's ears.

He didn't know why his uncle, who was so arrogant, could say such high-sounding words. Maybe it had something to do with his rich experience, but he always felt that what his uncle told him today might be something he could use in the future.

Come out and chew it repeatedly.

"...The one who can truly protect ordinary people is, after all, us ordinary people ourselves..." The young man repeated his uncle's words, his eyes flashing with light, as if something was ignited.

The young man now seems to finally understand why his uncle led his uncles, sisters and aunts around to harass Xingluo's army during this period. He also roughly understands why his uncle's team has experienced so many counterattacks by the army.

The number of people increased instead of decreasing.

Because even ordinary people have things they want to protect, and even ordinary people have power that belongs to ordinary people, although it is small.

but……

"Uncle, why should we follow the arrangements of the man who claims to be the Prince of Xingluo... If we don't tell the authenticity of his identity, even if he is true, how can he help us deal with our own army?"

"Aren't you afraid? There will really be a commotion later. If the reinforcements he talks about don't come, will we be the only ones here to be surrounded and killed?" The young man still asked.

After looking up at the darkening sky, the strong man tightened his belt and said:

"Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's true or not. After all, we have received their help."

Pointing to the fire stick in the young man's hand, the strong man said: "If it weren't for their help, we wouldn't be able to get these things that are convenient for lighting fires, and we wouldn't be able to find the place where they put food and grass."

"And even if they don't come later, it will still be profitable for us. Although they may die, the large amount of food and grass transported by the Xingluo army to the front line will be destroyed by us, and the pressure on the empire's army will be reduced a lot as a result. Maybe

We can still counterattack and come back, no matter what, we won’t lose..."

After sizing up the sky, the strong man slowly got up from the ground:

"It's almost time for us to leave..."
