Survival skills maxed out, I feed my wife and daughter by catching fish and shrimp

Seriously injured?

Chen Changfan directly raised the question in his mind, "Logically speaking, with Master Zhou's strength as a Dengjie warrior, he should be difficult to be injured on the battlefield. Could it be that the other party is also a Dengjie warrior? Who are you fighting against?"

If even the warriors who climb the stairs on the battlefield are cannon fodder, then I am afraid that this war has developed to an extremely terrible level.

He was filled with curiosity, but he still asked questions in a step-by-step manner.

After all, if he asked about such past events that might be military secrets right away, he was afraid that Zhou Xing would remain silent. But if he led him out step by step, maybe the other party could reveal more information.

"Eighteen years ago, the Battle of Hulao Pass was launched by the remnants of the Beast God Cult. They first developed from the Hundred Thousand Mountains in the south, leading tens of thousands of ferocious beasts and attacking all the way from the south.

At first, the imperial court did not regard this bandit problem as a serious matter, until the enemy captured Jingzhou at an extremely fast speed, which directly shocked the court and the public.

Emperor Wuqing was furious and ordered the three states of Qingzhou, Yongzhou and Yizhou to gather troops in an attempt to suppress the Beast God Cult riot.

Several fierce battles broke out between the two sides, and finally the decisive battle took place in the direction of Hulao Pass.

I also participated in that battle, and I still can't forget the scene that was like hell on earth.

Believe me, you don't want to know what I saw.

After that, I retired and returned home. Because I performed fairly well in the army, they assigned me to the Qinghe Martial Arts School as the headmaster, a moderately small one. I've lived a peaceful life for many years."

While Zhou Xing was recalling, Chen Changfan had always kept the Qi-gazing technique activated.

Zhou Xing's aura was a deep blue of thought, and he was obviously recalling the past. At the same time, this deep blue was mixed with some deep dark purple, and it was obvious that he had some psychological trauma.

Ancient people did not know what psychological trauma was, but Chen Changfan could feel Zhou Xing's inner pain and struggle from this dark purple aura.

The brutality of that battle is probably far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Chen Changfan was shocked and sighed inwardly, "I've heard a little about the brutality of the Battle of Hulao Pass. It seems that there were many horrific things on that battlefield."

Chen Changfan gave an ambiguous statement, the main purpose of which was to ask questions.

At the same time, he silently activated his bewitching mind, actually causing Zhou Xing to gradually let down his guard. He murmured, "Yes, not only were there ferocious beasts wreaking havoc on the battlefield, but there were also the bizarre spells of the Beast God Cult. Many of our comrades died in endless agony. Those deaths were so tragic..."

Zhou Xing's face was filled with reminiscence of the past, but a barely perceptible fear flashed in his eyes.

That was a fear that came from the heart, the fear of war.

"Master Zhou, could you elaborate on this? I'm actually quite interested in that period of history." Chen Changfan continued to persuade.

Zhou Xing shook his head firmly. "That battle has many secrets, and even involves the fate of our Great Wu Dynasty. I'm sorry I can't tell you."

Unexpectedly, this guy is quite principled. Chen Changfan hesitated for a moment and did not continue to try to seduce him.

After all, the other party is a sixth-rank warrior. If he reveals secrets that he would never reveal under normal circumstances because of my instigation, he will definitely be alert afterwards, which will be disadvantageous to me.

But if you don’t tell me, then I won’t know?

Chen Changfan quietly called up the system panel, directly consumed points, and started Zhou Xing's reincarnation.

[Year 1, you were born...]

The familiar opening remarks gave Chen Changfan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

However, this time, he watched Zhou Xing's life from a perspective similar to that of an audience member.

Your cries intertwined with your brother's babbling. Although our home was poor, it felt warm because of the double joy.

[In the third year, your mother held you and your brother in her arms with tears in her eyes. After a difficult decision, she decided to give you to a family in the neighboring village.]

[That family had no children, so they treated you as their own, allowing you to grow up strong. Your brother stayed at home, enjoying the company of their children.]

In your tenth year, you began to learn martial arts. Seeing your extraordinary talent, your master taught you everything he knew. You diligently studied and practiced, your skills improved, and you secretly vowed to become even more powerful than your brother.

In the 15th year, you showed your prowess, defeating all the warriors your age in the village. While pleased, your master warned you that the road to martial arts is long and that you must guard against arrogance and impatience. You took this to heart and practiced even harder, hoping to one day rise to prominence and change your destiny.

In the 18th year, you decided to venture out and leave your hometown. On the day you left, you bowed deeply to your parents who had raised you for over a decade. You told yourself that the two people in front of you were your parents, and that your last name was Zhou, not Meng.

You heard that your brother was also going out to make a living. You knew he wasn't as good as you, but you still had a lingering desire to compare yourself to him. You secretly vowed to do better than him.

In the 19th year, you were able to join the army due to your impressive martial arts skills. You still remember the centurion patting you on the shoulder and praising you, "With a warrior like you, I can become a centurion too!"

In the 20th year, you participated in your first battle against a group of bandits. As you attacked the stronghold, you encountered fierce resistance. A sudden arrow struck you, but you quickly dodged it, but your comrade beside you was tragically struck and killed instantly.

You watched as the arrow entered his right eye and exited from the back of his head. You watched as his eye instantly exploded, bursting into a spray of water, and then red and white liquid flowed out.

You were frightened. You could barely hold the long sword you wielded so nimbly. The centurion called on the soldiers to charge, but your knees felt weak and you couldn't move a step.

You grit your teeth, forcibly suppressing the fear in your heart. The scene of your mother's tearful farewell emerges in your mind, and a sense of unwillingness wells up in your heart. You grip your long sword tightly, take a deep breath, and finally take a step forward, following the centurion into the enemy camp.

[Amidst the flashing swords and shadows, you were already so bloodthirsty that you didn't even know when the battle would end.]

【After the war, the centurion died, and you became the centurion.】

You were the only one left alive in your ten-man combat squad. You were promoted because of your bravery in killing the enemy. Then you followed the troops into the village to recruit soldiers. Looking at the young men of similar age but with childish eyes, you seemed to see your past self.

In the 23rd year, you have been promoted to centurion, and the army has to move to another place, which happens to be your hometown.

The night before returning home, you tossed and turned in your tent, unable to fall asleep. The thought of returning to your homeland and seeing your parents again the next day filled you with excitement.

"You are now the youngest centurion, and your future is limitless. I wonder how happy your parents will be when you tell them tomorrow."
