1407 A Change before the War (1/2)
When people were on the way to the base, lots of people in black tried to stop them and kill them. Many people from both sides died on the way. During those days, the number of death was increased thousands of times!
On those outlying roads, there were lots of dead bodies without heads.
When the information reached the base, the entire valley was depressed. Finally, the guys made a change one day.
Everybody worked together and cleaned the entire area thoroughly. All the living trashes were piled together in the pointed spot and buried well. On each direction, they built a place for recycling, which meant toilets.
The itinerant cultivators who used to be unruly started to follow rules of life. They didn't like group training, but now, they were pretty active to it. The guys started to pay attention to their personal hygiene and try to protect the environment. In fact, they were cherishing the environment…
Everybody looked solemn before the war.
”Nobody knows who will survive the war. Nobody knows who gets to win the battles. Maybe we all will die, but we should at least not live among some trash. We came with nothing, and we leave with cleanness!”
”The valley became like this because of us… The ladies don't even want to set foot on our place… Are we really going to die a bunch of lonely and smelly men?”
”The war is coming. Who knows who can survive? I have been enjoying the days for years. I have enough of it… Should I really continue such a pointless life before dying in the war? Do I have to get drunk at this moment?”
”If we win and I am dead, brothers, splashed a fine cup of liquor on my tomb when you are going to drink some!”
”If we win and I am alive, I will bring fine liquor to the brothers who died for the victory every year! Life or death, we get drunk together!”
”After the war, if we win, and I am dead, brothers, please take care of my families.”
”After the war, if I am alive, I will do my best to take care of our brothers' families!”
”We fight the war without regret!”
”We fight the war with all strength!”
”Come, practice with me and my saber!”
”Come, practice with me and my sword.”
”Come, let's make a sword attacks array.”
”Come, brother! Let's discuss how to use poison to cause the biggest damage.”
…
The area became like the habitat of dragons and tigers. The mountains and rivers were picturesque. The guys had completely new appearance, which was clean, spirited, and solemn.
The crisis was approaching, and everybody tried to live in a new appearance with different vigor at the same time.
The next day, when a group of female cultivators were out for some daily necessities, they happened to go by the other side of the mountain. They were surprised that they didn't smell the stinky air anymore, so they cast a look over. What they saw was astounding like a brand new land.
”How come it is so clean?”
”The smell actually is gone…”
”Actually nobody is drinking…”
”Nobody shouting dirty words…”
”Why such a big change? This is too weird. Do we see ghosts…”
