Chapter 1775: The test of Ning Chen’s heart
This kind of monastic path with faith does not have a large base.
Although Ning Chenxin was also in Shanshui Palace, his test was different from others.
This is not a battlefield.
However, it was a small village that was affected by the continuous war.
The scenery of the village is beautiful, on a stretch of continuous prairie.
The village is surrounded by wooden fences. Outside the fence, the green grass looks relatively high. The breeze blows, and the patches of green grass are swaying like blue waves.
Cattle and sheep are grazing in these green pastures.
There are only fifty or sixty people in the village. They rest at sunset and work at sunrise. Each one sweats and is self-sufficient. Although he is darkened by the scorching sun and the glistening sweat covers his body, his eyes are extremely clear, and he has no time to look at the fruits of his labor. A simple smile will appear on the corner of the mouth.
Everything looks so beautiful.
But the location of this small village is coincidentally located on an extremely important line of defense of the defending country.
If the enemy\'s iron hooves want to break through the defense line, they must step through this place.
This is something Ning Chenxin only found out after being here for two days.
In the past two days, Ning Chenxin suddenly appeared here. Instead of being ostracized or doubted by the villagers, they enthusiastically accepted him.
Ning Chenxin is also here teaching people in the village to read the books of sages.
Observe your surroundings while teaching.
This place... seems to be different from the scene described by other brothers and sisters.
More importantly, this touch and feeling are not like a fantasy at all, everything is too real.
On the third day.
The sky used to be clear, but now there are dark clouds.
The wind blew violently, causing the green grass to flutter wildly.
The air pressure seems to be getting low and depressing...
Ning Chenxin is teaching the children in the village: "The true nature is single-minded, the luck is free, and the humility is nothing..."
Before he finished speaking, Ning Chenxin raised his head and looked outside the mud room, frowning slightly.
Children\'s minds are actually very delicate because there are no impurities.
Seeing Ning Chenxin\'s expression, he couldn\'t help but ask in a childish voice: "Sir, why don\'t you look unhappy? Do you think we are too stupid?"
Ning Chen came back to his senses, looked at these children and shook his head with a smile, and then said: "I don\'t think you are stupid, but the teacher may have something to deal with."
It seems that the test has finally come...
Just when Ning Chen was thinking this.
The wooden door of the mud house that could not be completely closed creaked open, and a middle-aged man walked in.
The man\'s face was covered with beads of sweat, he was breathing heavily, and his face was an unnatural dark red.
"First...sir, I know you are not an ordinary person, please save our village!"
After saying that, he knelt down on the ground with a loud bang and kowtowed heavily to Ning Chenxin!
Ning Chenxin hurriedly stepped forward, supported this honest man who spent all day herding cattle and cutting firewood with both hands, and said, "There is no need for this, I will try my best to help you."
The man\'s eyes were red, he looked at Ning Chen and said with a choked heart: "Sir... I dare not forget this great kindness! In the future..."
"No need." Ning Chen interrupted the man with a smile, and said: "Your enthusiastic reception in the past two days and your heart in Chicheng have made me owe you a favor. It\'s better to say that I am here now. It’s time to return the favor.”
The man was anxious when he heard this. He was about to say something when he saw Ning Chenxin patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, we\'ll talk about it later. Let\'s lead the way first."
The man gritted his teeth, nodded heavily and walked out first, "Sir, this way!"
Ning Chen took a gentle look at the helpless children in the mud room, and said as gently as possible: "It\'s okay, sir, I will take care of these things. When I come back, you should try your best to tell me what you just said." Meaning."
Ning Chenxin\'s words were like a breeze blowing on their faces, and the panic on the children\'s faces instantly dissipated. They all nodded and watched Ning Chenxin leave.
…
At the main entrance of the village, the fence here is wide open at this time.
Outside the fence were ten tall men, sitting astride horses wearing armor and tails with fire.
The people in the village looked at these ten people with trembling eyes.
Standing at the front is the oldest elder in the village and the village chief.
The village chief seemed to be carrying a huge boulder, his back hunched as if only the crutches in his hands could support him.
"Military lords... We can also serve the country, but... there are still children and women in the village. Can we let them follow your lords and lords into the city?"
Isn\'t the sense of powerlessness revealed in the words a true portrayal of ordinary people facing powerful monks?
The leading soldier shouted coldly: "What are you bargaining for? You have been able to live and work here for many years, aren\'t you all relying on the shadow of our country? Now that you are asked to serve the country, why are you mentioning this and that?"
"Furthermore, if there are no women and children in a village, if enemy spies see this, wouldn\'t they become suspicious? What\'s more, if there are people from the enemy country among you.
Wouldn\'t it be a disaster for our country to sneak into the country at this time? "
Ning Chenxin had already arrived here, and the man\'s narration on the way made him understand what happened.
Simply put.
Because this village is a must-pass for enemy countries.
The country wants all of them to place a self-destructing talisman in their bodies that is comparable to those in the King God Realm.
When enemy countries pass by this place, they will naturally not be wary of the ordinary mortals in the village.
When the time comes, let everyone in the village rush out, activate the self-destruct talisman, and intercept the enemy country.
As for not letting women and children go...
I\'m afraid the above are all excuses, just to make more self-exploding bombs.
"But Master... there can\'t be an undercover enemy agent in our village! Cough, cough, cough!" The village chief became anxious and spat out a mouthful of dark blood.
The leading soldier was obviously a little impatient.
"No matter what, this is an order! Contributing to our country is an honor for ordinary people like you! This is a matter of honoring our ancestors!"
The middle-aged man who had just arrived with Ning Chen\'s heart couldn\'t help shouting: "We are not cowards! We are also willing to make our own contribution to the country! Even if it means death!"
However, both the mother-in-law and the child are innocent! "
A woman on the side held the man\'s hand with tears in her eyes.
The soldiers roared angrily: "Anyone who disobeys military orders or bargains will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, the ten soldiers sitting astride the horses all pulled out their spears with a clang!
Everyone else in the village lowered their heads.
Some people clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
There are also people with despair on their faces.
Ordinary mortals are so powerless in this monastic world.
"Needless to say, we will not agree. No one will go out to die." Ning Chenxin walked out, his tone was calm but there was a faint anger in his eyebrows. "If you want to take action, I will take action."
