In the evening, Weaver helped the carpenter's aunt clean up the housework and then talked with candles at night.

The two women, regardless of age, chatted together, and the core made the carpenter laugh loudly. But when Aunt Carpenter talked about her son, her tone was a little bitter, but the depths of her eyes revealed a little sorrow and pride, and she told the story of last year......

Last year, it was the height of summer, the weather was hot, and the cicadas were singing. At this time, the Arma Empire and the Neylu Empire were in a heated quarrel and were about to go to war every minute, and this news also broke the tranquility of this ancient village.

It was a cloudless day, and the scorching sun was in the sky, so that the ground seemed to be on fire, as if a little spark could detonate it. Everything seems so listless, only the knowledge that will not stop screaming is blind. People lazily hid under the trees to avoid the noon, looking at the fields that had not yet been cultivated, and feeling irritated.

At this time, several figures returned against the scorching sun and braved the scorching hot wind.

There were three men, two of whom were wearing cardigans and hats, and the other was wearing a scarf around his face and a linen shirt with a mid-sleeve top.

Recognize the people, and the people under the trees give up their places for the three of them to rest, and at the same time gather them in the middle to ask about things.

One of the big men with a pair of piercing eyes under the sword eyebrows handed an old man under the tree a money bag and said, "Village chief, this is the reward of those two thieves, you can wait and see how it is distributed to everyone." ”

"Thank you, Jeff. The old village chief took the money bag, and then looked at the man in the linen sleeve, "And who is this?"

"I'm a recruiter in the military department of Twin City, and I heard this big brother Jeff say that there are a lot of strong men here, so I want to come here to recruit soldiers. ”

The recruiter cocked his tail finger slightly, took off his scarf, and saw that his face was flushed, not like a trained person, and then glanced at the surrounding villagers, licked his mouth, and said, "Oh, there are really a lot of tough guys here!"

The old village chief was puzzled: "Recruitment?"

The last of the three who returned opened his eyes wide and said greedily, "Yes, village chief, it is much more profitable to be a soldier than to be paid on this farmland." ”

"Tanxuan, do you want to be a soldier?" The carpenter's aunt, who was also under the tree, asked.

"yes, you're not going to target me like you normally, are you?"

The frank in the carpenter's aunt's mouth is her son, who looks a little similar to the carpenter's aunt, with thick eyebrows and thick eyes, plump cheeks, short and thick, about thirty years old, her son has no interest, but he relies on his own cultivation of a good martial arts, daydreaming all day long, idle, always looking for an opportunity to soar into the sky.

No, more than ten days ago, a group of thieves came to this Xiyuan Village to do something, and after being beaten away by Tan Huo and the villagers here, they also caught two, and then together with Jeff, they sent the two thieves to the city to receive the reward, because this Xiyuan Village belongs to the jurisdiction of the city.

At that time, Tan Huo and Jeff met the people from the military department in the trial room of the city, and after explaining the situation of the city to the people of the military department, the military department sent this recruiter to recruit soldiers.

"This aunt, there is nothing bad about being a soldier, you see that now the Nelu Empire and the Yama Empire are going to fight, there is money to be made if there is a war, and if you accidentally fall in the eye of a high-ranking general, then you don't have to worry. The recruiter felt that the carpenter's aunt had the intention of hindering, and hurriedly spoke to tempt the villagers, because the troops were insufficient at this time, and the recruiter's boss also gave him this task that needed to be met.

"Now, besides, there are more than 100 families in our village, not to mention horses, and there are not even a few cattle in the cultivated land, and the only few cattle are borrowed and borrowed, we are so poor, and now we have an opportunity to make some money, why don't we grasp it? As for whether you go or not is your business, anyway, I am going to be a soldier. Tan Huo stood up and said what was in his heart.

Tan Xuan's words are also reasonable, because this Xiyuan Village has been in a poor and backward state due to traffic, and can only live a self-sufficient life, but this kind of life also retains the simple and honest folk customs of the original villagers.

"Are you sure you're going to be a soldier?" the carpenter aunt confirmed.

"Yes, I'm going to be a soldier, and you can't stop me this time. ”

When the carpenter heard this, she was happy and said, "Son, this time there is a chance, if I don't stop it, a good man should kill the enemy bravely on the battlefield, and he has long wanted to drive you away." ”

The old carpenter on the side was not happy, gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "You are not allowed to go, this war is equivalent to death." ”

When the recruiter heard the old carpenter's words, he retorted: "Well, this uncle, what you said is not right, now the front-line troops are not very sufficient, if the front city is lost, then the war will be here, and then the military will be forced to recruit soldiers on the spot, and the treatment at that meeting will not be good, so why don't you support your son to go into battle to kill the enemy and make miraculous achievements? To put it mildly, if you die in battle, at least there is a settlement fee to make your family live without worry." ”

After hearing the recruiter's words, the village names were surprisingly quiet, although they felt that his words were harsh, but they also thought of their own situation, and the sound of cicadas like a torrential rain brought by the hot wind in their ears did not disturb them.

After a long time, the old village chief asked Jeff, "Jeff, do you also intend to be a soldier?"

Jeff gritted his teeth, blinked, sighed helplessly, nodded, and said, "Well, so, I hope that the village chief can take care of my family's two elders and one child in the future." ”

Seeing that there were two people who wanted to participate, the hearts of the villagers were also shaken, looking at the endless fields, they were scared at the moment, they didn't know when it was over, and then they wanted to give it a go.

"I'll have to leave in the afternoon. Seeing that the villagers were shaken, the conscription was also shrewd, striking while the iron was hot, wanting to complete his task in one go, he took out a large piece of paper from his arms and used the method of time urgency, "This is a special registration paper for the military, after signing, you are a soldier, and you must be bound by the art of war, so once you sign it, you can't go back." I'll just put it on this stone bench, and you can sign it yourself if you want. By the way, don't want the old ones, and don't want the young ones. ”

After the recruiter put the registration paper on the stone bench, he squeezed out of the crowd, wiped the sweat beads with a face towel, looked at the blue brick house, rolled his eyes, and thought in disgust that this place was really poor. Then, he looked back at the onlookers and said, "Oh, a group of turtles, let me stay on the road for a few days, waiting to go to the front line."

After Jeff took the lead in signing and withdrew, he saw a little girl with two pigtails and beautiful eyebrows running over, he picked up the little girl with one hand, rubbed the little girl's face with his beard, itched her and giggled, and then asked dotingly: "Oh, little peanut, do you miss your father?"

The little peanut's red face was full of sweat, his heaving chest was full of joy, and he said in a milky voice: "Yes, I miss my father." Dad, why did it take you so long to come back?"

Seeing his daughter's happy appearance, Jeff was so happy in his heart that he smiled and scratched the little peanut's upturned nose, wiped her sweat, and comforted: "Dad caught the bad guys, so it's been a little long." Did you listen to your grandparents at home?"

"Absolutely. At this moment, Little Peanut noticed the onlookers, "What are you looking at there?"

Jeff smiled unnaturally, and then said seriously to Little Peanut, "They're discussing how to catch the bad guys, and Dad, I've signed it." ”

"Is that going to be leaving again, not going home for a long time?" Little Peanut's little hand grabbed Jeff's collar, his mouth pursed, and his bright eyes suddenly gathered a pool of tears.

Jeff saw the aggrieved look of Little Peanut, his heart was tense, and when he was distressed and wanted to comfort her, Little Peanut broke away from Jeff's embrace, lowered her head and tried to hold back her crying, but the tears still fell down uncontrollably.

"Then you go, I will take care of my grandparents. Little Peanut Mi choked.

Jeff smiled with satisfaction, touched the little peanut's head, and said, "Come, Dad will take you home for a meal first." ”

And on this end, many villagers left their lives on the registration paper.

The recruiter counted the names on the paper, there were more than eighty people, and then checked the physical condition of the names on it, and after eliminating a few old, weak, sick and disabled, he smiled with satisfaction, and then said to the villagers: "Thank you for your support to my work, there are names on it, then you are a soldier now, and you will leave in the afternoon." ”

At noon, everyone slaughtered chickens and geese at home, and they all cooked a delicious meal for their men.

In the afternoon, under the tearful gaze of the village women, the strong men embarked on a journey.

.......

Weaving Core listened carefully and hurriedly comforted: "Auntie, now that the Neyro Empire has won the Yarda Empire, those men should come back soon, don't worry." ”

Aunt carpenter smiled and said with a smile: "You kid is really comforting, I don't want my kid to come back soon, let him experience the cruelty of the world, less daydreaming, and be down-to-earth in the future." ”

"Auntie, you are really great. Weaving Core was slightly stunned, he couldn't imagine that this carpenter aunt was so ruthless, "I believe that Brother Tan Huo will change." ”

"Hey, what is great or not, although it is said that the child will never grow up in the hearts of his parents, but in fact, the child always needs to grow up, he should be ruthless, the more he spoils him, the more he will not grow up. If it weren't for the old man in my family who protects him every day, I would have killed him a long time ago. ”

At this moment, the old carpenter, who heard the words at the door, was not happy, and retorted: "You are protecting him to be the big soldier, and I didn't agree." ”

"He's just this temper, bull's temper, leave him alone. The carpenter's aunt snorted and glanced at the old carpenter with contempt, "However, this is missing a strong man, and a lot of things have happened in our village." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Forget it, don't say it, don't say what these bad guys are interested in, you see it's also very late, you're tired after a day, rest early. ”

"Then auntie, you also have to rest early. Weaving Core obediently went to sleep in the guest room.

Aunt Carpenter looked at the green emerald cigarette shirt she was wearing when she turned around and left, and thought about it, and then found some old clothes in her wardrobe, sewed and mended them, and wanted to make a set of women's clothes suitable for weaving core.
