Chapter 837 Xiao Qi wants to apply
The villagers' lives may not be very good, but they can get by on a daily basis. No family is so poor that they have no roof over their heads or no food to eat. Naturally, no one wants to get involved in such matters.
Qiao Xuan and others had never expected that Xiao Qi would take the initiative to tell his family that he wanted to enlist in the army.
He said this after Qiao Xuan cooked and everyone had a happy dinner.
Everyone was stunned, suspecting that they were hallucinating.
After Xiao Qi said it again, Fang cursed, "You bastard!" and raised her hand to hit him, but was stopped by everyone in a hurry.
"Xiao Qi, please don't mess around. You can't say such things casually!"
"That's right. We have everything we need now. This kind of thing is so dangerous. We can't go. It's better to stay at home."
"Joining the army means going to war, which is too scary. How can it be better than home?"
"You are just a kid and don't know what's going on. Stop talking nonsense. Where are you going? Just stay here!"
"Listen carefully, everyone. Keep this to yourself. If anyone dares to tell anyone in the village, I will beat him to death!"
“.”
Only Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan remained silent.
Xiao Qi felt very aggrieved, and looked at Shao Yunduan with a pitiful and stubborn look: "Fifth brother, do you also think I am fooling around and don't support me?"
"What do you mean by supporting you? What are you talking about? Are you asking for a beating?"
Fang's temper flared up again and she was about to go up and beat him up, so everyone tried to stop her and persuade her.
Fang said with tears in her eyes: "This fool wants to piss me off to death! After just a few days of peace, he's causing trouble!"
Shao Yunduan said gently, "Mom, don't worry, Dad, don't worry either. Let me talk to Xiaoqi alone, and I'll talk to him properly."
Mrs. Fang and Uncle Shao breathed a sigh of relief.
Fang nodded: "You have to persuade him well!"
"Don't worry, mother!"
Shao Yunduan then took Xiaoqi away.
In the study room in Shao Yunduan's courtyard, Xiao Qi stood there with his head hung, pursed his lips and said nothing, looking dejected and aggrieved.
Shao Yunduan couldn't help but look at him secretly, feeling a little emotional.
Xiaoqi has grown so tall and is very strong. He has grown so big without me noticing.
If another two or three years pass, he will probably be taller, stronger and more solid than his brother, right?
In fact, he is already very powerful now. He can easily hunt large prey such as wild boars, wild deer, and wild sheep. His agile figure and sharp eyes when chasing the prey, and his momentum when drawing the bow and shooting the arrow, all make people feel awe.
No one who has seen this side of him could regard him as an ordinary, naive young man.
He has such ability, and to be honest, Shao Yunduan felt a little reluctant to lock him up at home.
In terms of self-cultivation, Shao Xiaoqi was still not as good as his fifth brother. After a while, he could no longer hold back, scratched his head, and looked at Shao Yunduan: "Fifth brother, I will take good care of myself, just let me go."
Shao Yunduan: "Have you really thought it through?"
Shao Xiaoqi nodded quickly: "I've thought about it, I've thought about it! I really want to go."
"You know that joining the army is no joke. Once you start, there is no turning back. There is no room for regret. Deserters will be beheaded."
"When we get to the military camp, we can only start as the lowest-ranking soldier. The food, clothing, and shelter we have are all the worst, probably much worse than what our family had before. If we get a bad commander, we will have to endure countless hardships."
