The herbal medicine was very effective. After half a month, Qin Fengming's grandfather was able to get out of bed and walk around slowly. The family was very happy when they saw this, and the days after that slowly returned to peace. Qin Fengming sometimes goes up to the mountains to play with his friends in the village, and sometimes collects dry firewood and collects wild fruits. But when no one is around, Qin Fengming will take out the small gourd and play with it secretly. Apart from the dazzling and attractive surface, the gourd had no other abnormalities. Qin Fengming was extremely puzzled by this. In the afternoon of this day, on the mountain road leading into Qinjia Village, a dozen people riding tall horses suddenly appeared. These people were all strong young men, and the last horse was carrying some goods. Qin Fengming, who was playing on the hillside, saw this and immediately stopped playing with his friends. He looked at the visitor with confusion on his face. Qinjia Village is located in a remote area, and it is rare for so many people from other places to come here. In a moment, the team of people came to the crowd. The first person jumped off the horse and looked at the children carefully. Suddenly, when he saw Qin Fengming, he said with a look of surprise: "Younger, third brother, you don't recognize me anymore. I am the eldest brother Qin Xiang." "Brother Qin Xiang?" Qin Fengming was stunned when he heard this. When his eldest brother left, he was only seven or eight years old. In his impression, his eldest brother was thin, with dark skin, and slightly shorter than his father.
But the person in front of him was tall, mighty, majestic, and had a ruddy complexion. After looking carefully, Qin Fengming could vaguely distinguish some of his original eldest brother's appearance. He immediately jumped down the hillside, ran a few steps, grabbed the eldest brother's hand, and shook it hard, with a look of surprise on his face. Qin Xiang stroked Qin Fengming's head, his face filled with excitement: "Third brother, are our parents, grandpa, and grandma okay now?" "They are all fine. Let's go home quickly. Grandma and mother often talk about you." Meet big brother. Although Qin Fengming was puzzled as to why his eldest brother became like this, the smile on his face did not diminish. Qin Hong did not go into the mountains today, but was packing hunting equipment at home. Suddenly he heard that his eldest son had returned. He was overjoyed and hurried out of the courtyard with his family. "My parents, grandpa, and grandma are above me. Qin Xiang, my unfilial son, kowtows to you." Seeing his parents and others from a distance, Qin Xiang hurriedly threw away the reins, ran forward quickly, knelt on the ground to greet everyone. Qin Hong and his son lifted Qin Xiang up with tears in their eyes. Pull Qin Xiang into the courtyard. The dozen young men who came with Qin Xiang were extremely well-behaved and unloaded their belongings under Qin Xiang's instructions. At this time, everyone realized that the goods carried on the horse were some cloth, grain, wine and meat. While everyone was talking, the clan leader heard the news and came to the Qin family with some elders of the clan. With such a lively event, Qin Hong ordered everyone to prepare a banquet using the food and meat brought by Qin Xiang to entertain the villagers. During the banquet, Qin Xiang recounted his experience in joining the army in the past two years. Everyone was pleasantly surprised when he heard this. It turned out that after Qin Xiang joined the army, he was assigned to work under an officer named Li Bingtang. Li Bingtang was then a captain of thousands in Qijia City. After two months of training, Li Bingtang saw that Qin Xiang was very clever, intelligent, and willing to endure hardships. He was so happy that he promoted him to his personal guard and personally taught Qin Xiang how to practice martial arts. Just half a year ago, Li Bingtang was ordered to exterminate the horse bandits entrenched in Langtiao Stream in the southeast of Qijia City. During the battle, Qin Xiang showed bravery, not only saving Li Bingtang from the knife of the leader of the horse bandits, but also He even beheaded him with his own hands. This time, he successfully annihilated the horse bandits and was rewarded by superiors. Li Bingtang was promoted to the commander of Qijia City. Because he was grateful to Qin Xiang for risking his life to save him, he strongly recommended Qin Xiang to be promoted to centurion and serve as an errand under him. This time Li Bingtang went to Yingzhou City to resign, so he took Qin Xiang with him. When he arrived at Tenglong Town, Li Bingtang knew that Qin Xiang was a local and granted him a day off to go home to visit his relatives.
After hearing about Qin Xiang's military experience, everyone present looked envious. The centurion was already an officer. The small Qinjiazhuang actually had a centurion, which made everyone feel bright in their faces. After the banquet, the clan leaders and others left. Qin Xiang arranged the accommodation for the soldiers who came with him, and then had the opportunity to say farewell to his family. Although he described the events at home in detail, Qin Hong did not mention a word about his experience in buying medicine. "My third brother is able to turn danger into safety, which is a blessing for my Qin family. Grandpa is getting older, so it is better to go into the mountains less often in the future. I can receive twenty taels of military pay every month. If I keep what I use, I will bring it back to my family every month." Twelve. Use it carefully and you can ensure food and clothing." Qin Xiang touched his grandfather's injured leg, but tears flashed in his eyes. "Xiang'er, I'm in good health. You don't have to worry about me. The food and clothing at home are okay. You should keep the military pay you receive." Stroking the top of his eldest grandson's head, the grandfather's face looked kind. While everyone was chatting, Qin Xiang suddenly thought of something, and immediately said solemnly: "Father, grandpa, I heard the commander once said that in half a year there will be a meeting to select disciples in Luoxia Valley, and the age group will be eight to twelve years old. , I am the right age, I wonder if you want him to come and give it a try?" Qijia City is under the jurisdiction of Yingzhou County, and Luoxia Valley is one of the two major Jianghu sects closer to Yingzhou County. Another sect is Crouching Tiger Mountain. In the eyes of ordinary people, these two sects are a huge martial arts sect. In fact, this is not the case. Both sects are actually vassals of the Xiuxian sect. However, the Xiuxian sect has rules and is not allowed to appear in the secular world, so he chooses a martial arts sect as his spokesperson to handle some secular affairs. Qin Hong had heard of the name of Luoxia Valley. There was a restaurant opened in Luoxia Valley in Tenglong Town, which was very prosperous. However, he never thought about letting his son join the martial arts sect. I couldn't decide what to pay attention to, so I had to ask my father for advice. "Luoxia Valley is a large sect near Yingzhou County. I heard that a child from Yuejiazhuang, thirty miles away from us, joined Luoxia Valley. Within a few years, Yuejiazhuang became the most famous sect in Tenglong Town. This kind of change in the village has nothing to do with Luoxia Valley." "Father, can I let my mistress try it?" "Of course you can give it a try, but it still depends on whether the mistress is willing to go." Grandpa thought for a while, looked at Qin Fengming lovingly and said. Qin Fengming did not fully understand what his eldest brother said, but he had always envied his second brother. Now that he knew that his eldest brother had become a general, he had longed for the world outside the mountains since he was young. Seeing that Qin Fengming did not refuse, everyone began to study how to participate in the selection. "The commander once said that when selecting disciples in Luoxia Valley, each city can recommend candidates. The commander happens to have a few places in his hand. It shouldn't be difficult for me to ask the commander for one." Everyone was very happy to hear what Qin Xiang said. Qin Xiang only stayed at Qin's house for one night. Because he had military affairs, he led everyone to leave the village at dawn. Before leaving, he left behind fifty taels of silver. He told his mother that this silver tael would be used by Qin Fengming to replenish his health. He also said that the selection was very difficult and that Qin Fengming should exercise diligently and pick him up at home in April.
