"Dad, it seems strange in the city today." Chen Wulou said as he helped his father bring the bowl to the table.

"What's weird? Did you go out wearing your sister's clothes again?"

"No! How long will it take for you to laugh at me when I fall asleep and look back!" Chen Wulou was angry, "It's the atmosphere, the atmosphere! There is a strange atmosphere in the city for some reason, and I always feel that something bad will happen..."

Chen Wulou said for a long time but couldn't give a specific example. The more he spoke, the less he sounded, and it seemed that he felt that he was too tiny. However, Chen Shangde did not laugh at him as he thought, but nodded seriously with a pot in his hand: "Do you, I understand. Let's have a meal first and ask your sister and aunt to get up."

Chen Wulou responded, put a few bowls on the table and walked into Chen Youxue's room: "Sister, get up and have dinner soon, I'll have to get some noodles if I don't get up again~"

"Well..." Chen Youxue rubbed her eyes and sat up. She looked at the boy standing next to her for a while and tidied up her desk. Then she suddenly woke up and smashed her pillow, "Why are you here? Knock on the door!"

"I have never seen you knock on the door when I enter my room... Can you hear the knock on the door?" Chen Wulou turned his head and avoided the attack of hidden weapons, and put the last book that fell into the crack of the table neatly in his bag. "Okay, I'll help you pack the book, get up and have a meal quickly."

"You go out!"

Chen Wulou walked out with his hands spread out and took the door, then walked aside and knocked on another door: "Auntie~ Auntie has breakfast~"

The room was a beautiful woman who came to the door with a cold face about four years ago. Although she had no impression of her, she seemed to be her mother's sister. The night she came and she seemed to have a fierce quarrel with her father, but when she heard it, she and her sister were kicked out by her ears, so she didn't know what happened later. In short, the next day she lived in the name of "to take care of her sister's children."

——However, Chen Wulou seems that this aunt is taken care of a lot no matter how she looks at it...

"Well, once you accept this setting, you feel that this kind of sauce noodles is also good?"

On the breakfast table, Chen Shangde's strange dish of diced sauerkraut noodles received widespread praise. Only Chen Youxue muttered, "I still want to eat meat sauerkraut noodles...", but he still reached out to add a second bowl.

"Xue'er, Lou'er." Chen Shangde put down his chopsticks and looked a little serious. "It's a little uneasy recently. I heard that a group of people from Xibe Province fled to the territory of Xiandao through the county. Don't go anywhere else after school. Just walk the main road back. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Chen Wulou nodded, and then said angrily, "Why are those people so stupid!

Xiandao was foolish and passed by, pretending to give some sweetness. Isn’t it all the tricks of Xiandao against Shinto! I don’t think about how Xiandao treated mortals before Shinto. If Shinto really defeated, would they still have a good life?"

Chen Youxue blew into her face: "There is no way. Shinto has suffered a lot of losses on the border in recent years, and the power behind has been drawn one after another, so the overall production and living standards of society have declined, and in turn, the combined power of Shinto has been reduced again, and the situation in the rear is even more so - this is a vicious cycle, and it would be great if the border can win a few games."

When Chen Youxue said "the war is not good", she found that her aunt looked at her father nervously, but her father's expression did not change much. He just looked at the blue porcelain bowl in front of him. The past and silence floated in the hazy mist of the noodle soup. The bright blood and mission settled down, as if a piece of chopped green onion melted in the noodle soup.

"...The people cannot be asked to sacrifice. They have the freedom to pursue their own happiness." Chen Shangde's voice from the other end of the fog was a little hazy, "Although Xiandao is uneasy, as long as Shinto is still there, they will improve the lives of mortals to prevent them from committing to Shinto. In this sense, this is also the contribution made by Shinto to the people."

"...It's getting late, I'll wash the bowls, you guys should go." Chen Shangde turned his back and walked into the kitchen slowly, "...I'll come back in the afternoon."

————————————

"Xiaolou, have you noticed that my dad and aunt seem to be mysterious recently?"

On the way to school, Chen Youxue suddenly pulled Chen Wulou and whispered.

"I think I know what's going on."

"?!What's the situation? Tell me quickly!"

"What's the situation... I'm preparing tonight's birthday party. They thought they were hiding it very well, but in fact I discovered the manuscript. Cough, 'Xue'er, Lou'er, today is your fifteenth birthday. Happy birthday. From today on, you will...'"

"Woo, stupid Xiaolou, you're paying me for surprise!"

"You have to ask yourself..."

After a while of fighting, Chen Youxue, who had stopped, stroked his hair on his forehead: "But... he is fifteen years old, Xiaolou, have you thought about what to do after graduation?"

In the customs here, you are considered a formal adult at the age of fifteen, and you can officially enter the Shinto system to use the power of Shinto. It is said that you can only practice foundation building at the age of fourteen or five in the Immortal Dao, but Chen Wulou doesn’t know whether it is true or false.

Recently, the news about Xiandao seems to have been spreading a little much? I wonder if the border is getting closer and closer to Dingjia County...

Ah no, no, control distracting thoughts. Chen Wulou silently recited the sentences he copied every day to prevent himself from thinking too much.

He turned his head and replied, "My words... I want to go to the Divine Guards to fight against the Immortal Road? After all, the border situation has become increasingly tense over the years."

"Is that right... Actually, I want to enter the rear management system. The front line has drawn too much power over the years, and many of the grassroots managers in the rear are all pushing their heads to make up the numbers..."

"Well, no matter where you go, you will contribute to Shinto, and there is no difference..."

Chen Wulou and Chen Youxue chatted all the way to school. In fact, their way to school is the same as that of their father's work. There is only one school on Biwan Road, and the junior and intermediate departments are connected together, but the intermediate departments should go to school earlier and the school should be later.

As soon as the two of them walked into the classroom, a slightly thin figure strode in: "Good morning, classmates. Let's start class!"

Huh... It seems that the time is just right. Chen Wulou breathed a little gladly and took out his textbook from his bag.

"... Therefore, the formal establishment of the French Open means the formation of the widest front of Shinto. Unlike the past, we need to fully recognize it. As long as we obey and abide by the legal open system, we can become a member of the legal open to contribute one of our own strength to the legal open. The power that Shinto can gather has been improved by thousands of times, which is the foundation of Shinto's breakthrough development - Chen Wulou, what are you having? "

Chen Wulou put down his hand and stood up: "Teacher Wang, I think that although the French Open unites more power, in this way, many people do not have the firm beliefs of the earliest Shinto ancestors. Joining the French Open is not for the Shinto cause, but for gaining their own benefits from the French Open! Why can't they develop in the original way of Shinto?"

"This idea is good, but if that happens, the power that Shinto can condense will be greatly reduced. We are unable to resist the invasion of the Immortal Way. We must unite all the forces that can be united in order to achieve the grand goal of eliminating the Immortal Way."

“But in this way, a lot of—”

"Okay, Chen Wulou classmate, it's still time to class. After you come down, you go to my office and we will continue to discuss it. OK? Good classmates, let's continue..."

"——People have all kinds of selfishness and evil roots. This is nature and is inevitable. The standard you mentioned can only demand yourself, but not force yourself to demand others. It will only make others afraid of you and stay away from you... Chen Wulou, do you understand?"

"...I understand." Chen Wulou accepted it reluctantly, "Thank you, Teacher Wang."
