The next day, Mu Xiaoyu, as usual, went to the mountains to chop wood with a flat pole after eating breakfast. Duoduo carried the oil lamp as his brother's errand and little follower.

When they passed by the stone house, they both felt a little strange, because usually the stone should be waiting for them at the door or at the mountain intersection, but today there is no trace of the stone. There was no human figure in the courtyard of the three-room tiled house.

"Strange, could it be that Brother Shi came home too late yesterday and was punished?" Duoduo said in confusion by putting his finger on his chin. "No, Stone's parents are quite open-minded. Mu Xiaoyu shook his head and said. He stood outside the fence door again and asked, "Stone, are you at home?" Uncle, aunt, are you at home?"

"Shhhhhhh Duoduo motioned to calm down. The two of them listened with bated breath, as if someone was sobbing. Then there was a knock at the door, and a tired old woman opened the wooden door of the inner hall, with tears still on her face. "Who are you looking for?...... Oh, it's Xiao Yu and Duoduo, come in. ”

The two greeted, "Hello aunt!" and looked at each other strangely, and walked into the room. When she entered the house, the woman closed the wooden door. The room was dim, an oil lamp was flickering, and the family of four sat around a wooden table, and the atmosphere was very dreary.

When Shi saw the two of them, he reluctantly squeezed out a smile, "Duoduo, Xiao Yu, you are here, but I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the mountain today." Because, my brother and my father are probably going to ......," he said, and began to cry.

Duoduo asked worriedly, "Brother Shi, what's wrong?" Mu Xiaoyu also asked, "What happened?"

At this time, a young man who looked like a scholar sitting at the table turned pale and said, "I...... Probably dying. The old man, whose hair was slightly gray, with the same ugly complexion, said: "When I was treating people in the infirmary in the town, I saw a large group of officers and soldiers enter the mansion, and later many detachments entered the alley. Later, I heard that everywhere those officers and soldiers went, they were full of mourning. Those officers and soldiers are all here to arrest the strong men, saying that they are strong men, and all the men except the children have been arrested. If they go further into the mountains, our village may also suffer. I'm a Langzhong, and my eldest son is a showman, so they have to arrest it. I heard others say that if we are arrested and fight with the demon clan with advanced cultivation, we ordinary people are just ......"

"Open the door, open the door!" Suddenly there was a rough knock on the door, startling the people in the room, and stone tears flowed silently. Stone's brother's face turned blue, and he seemed to be so frightened that he was about to faint.

The woman was hesitating to open the door, and the sound of slamming the door was louder, as if she was about to break in. The old man said, "Alas, open the door, what should come will always come." ”

When the woman opened the door, she stumbled and nearly fell down when the door was slammed open. Shi hurriedly ran up to help him, and cried and shouted: "Mother-" Eight soldiers armed with spears poured in, surrounding both sides of the house. At the main entrance, a slightly fat official dressed in a dark blue official robe and a black gauze hat walked in, followed by a man wearing a green shirt, a brocade hat, and a long sword on his back.

"Yes...... Li Bing's home?" asked the fat official. The old man didn't dare to slack off, "Back to the adult, the little people are Li Bing." "Well......" he said, stretched out his hand to the Tsing Yi official and brought a booklet, "According to Ding's book, there is no funeral in your family, there are three men and one woman, three elders and one young." Now my demon clan is raging, stirring up trouble and harming the people. According to the law of our dynasty, at this time, we should recruit young and strong, work together, kill the demons, and defend our great disagreement. Recruited young and strong Li Bing and Li Qi. The green-shirted officer "um" and twisted his head slightly, making a look to signal the officers and soldiers to arrest people, and the soldiers were about to arrest people when they heard the wind. At this moment, a crisp girl's voice sounded, "Hey, are you still unreasonable?" The soldiers' grasping movements were interrupted by this female voice. The fat official turned his head to look at Duoduo, "Whose child?" Tsing shirt official: "My lord, I don't know, the Ding production book shows that there are no young girls in this household." The fat official smiled on his face, squatted down and touched Duoduo's head, "Little friend, tell the captain of this school, where is it unreasonable." Duoduo struggled to break free from the fat official's hands, "Let go of me, you scoundrel." You said to grasp the youth, is the uncle young? You say to grasp the strong, is the brother of Brother Shi strong?" The fat official sneered: "The official said that he was young, he was young, and the official said that he was strong, and he was strong." As he spoke, he picked up Duoduo's chin with the index finger on his fat hand, "It's you little girl, who has a strong temper." It would be nice to bring you back to be my maid, hahaha. ”

"Don't touch her-" Mu Xiaoyu couldn't hold back anymore when she saw her sister being teased like this, and hit the fat official with her headbutt. The side of the slightly chubby official was slammed, he was already slightly fat, and the fat that was squatting there fell heavily, and he was hit coldly and really planted to the side. The soldier next to him hurriedly helped him. His right hand also held the ground, with a look of shame on his face, pointing at Mu Xiaoyu, "Rabbit cub, dare to hit me! Hit me!" The two soldiers picked up Mu Xiaoyu and began to punch and kick, "Brother!" Duoduo cried and ran to Mu Xiaoyu, was grabbed by the fat official on the back, and said with a cruel smile: "Girl, it is definitely better to follow your brother when I go back to the house to be my maid." The old woman hurriedly knelt down and wept and kowtowed, "Your lord's anger, your lord's anger." They are ignorant children, children from neighboring villages who come to play. I will make amends to the adults for them, and hope that the adults will open up and not be like children. "Xiao Yu!" Seeing Mu Xiaoyu's nose and swollen face from being beaten by two officers and soldiers, the stone also knelt down and kowtowed, tears gushing down like a spring, and said: "Isn't the adult recruiting young and strong, ...... The quick march is not to waste time on them. The fat official snorted coldly, stepped on the old woman's head and said, "You cheap life, can also eliminate my anger?" The head of the stone was buried in the ground, and when he saw this scene, he gritted his teeth. The scholar and the old man also knelt down, "Let's go with you, let's go with you, don't fight again...... The fat official said with a disgusted face: "At this time, do you want this official to take you away?" At this time, the Tsing Yi official frowned when he saw Mu Xiaoyu who was beaten, and said, "My lord, don't delay the conscription." Usually forget it, the birthday of this county lady is coming, what you want to send is the Buddha beads of Mituo Temple, I'm afraid you have to do more good deeds recently......" The fat official hesitated for a moment, motioned to the soldier to stop, and threw out the flowers, "Get out, rabbit cub." The old man pushed Duoduo and Mu Xiaoyu, "Let's go, you guys go quickly......"
