Yan Xining was woken up by the sound of chickens crowing one after another, rubbed her eyes, and got up with difficulty, the weather in early spring was a little cold, she lifted the quilt and couldn't help shivering, and suddenly wanted to nest back in the quilt. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Tidal condensation? Got up? There was a few knocks on the door, and Yan Feng's voice immediately sounded outside the door.

"Well, get up, I'll get dressed and come out right away." Yan Xining took off her homemade pajamas, inadvertently touched the scar on the left back shoulder, and couldn't help but stop and touch it, it was a birthmark similar to a spider, I remember that she was taken aback when she first saw it, the birthmark of this body is too unique, as the body grows, the "spider" also grows up, and now it is about the size of a fist.

"Ahh Yan Xining rubbed her nose, came back to her senses and quickly changed her clothes, combed her hair neatly, and opened the door to go out.

Yan Xining came to the lobby and saw Yan Feng put breakfast on the table in the lobby, and said with some complaints: "Dad, didn't I say that I would do this?" ”

"I've prepared the herbs, and I'm idle anyway, so I'll make breakfast, so that you can sleep a little longer." Yan Feng said with a smile.

Yan Xining patted her head, a little annoyed, came out to eat after washing, and whispered to Yan Feng: "Dad, do you think I'm useless, I can't get up early." ”

"How so? Your medical skills are learning quickly, and it won't be long before you're going to be better than the blue. Yan Feng touched his beard and looked at Xi Ning with pride.

Yan Xining lowered her head a little embarrassed, learning fast is entirely because she also studied Chinese medicine in her previous life, if she is slow, it will be really embarrassing, she suddenly thought of something, and said to Yan Feng: "In this case, Dad will take me to Luoyang today, I want to go to the medical center in Luoyang to help." ”

Yan Feng frowned slightly and shook his head, "It's not the time yet." ”

Yan Xining's eyes darkened when she heard him say this, she has been in this world for six years, but in the past six years, except for Fu'an Village and the nearby mountains, she has never been anywhere, Fu'an Village is about half a day's journey from Luoyang, Yan Feng often goes to deliver medicine, but never takes Yan Xining.

Yan Feng looked at Xi Ning's disappointed appearance and comforted softly: "I'll take you there when you're older, okay?" ”

"I'm fourteen years old." Xi Ning muttered quietly.

Yan Feng let out a long sigh and said, "I'll go out first, you can eat slowly." ”

Yan Xi Ning looked at the back of Yan Feng leaving, facing the breakfast in front of her, she had no desire to continue eating, she looked around the room, it was the same dilapidated as when she first came to this world six years ago, except for a table and two chairs in the lobby, there was no other furniture. She raised her hands and looked at them, remembering that when she first came, these hands were small, with fine skin and tender flesh, but now because of years of labor, her hands have become rough, and her fingertips have even grown thick calluses.

"Gu Hengxue." A low voice came from Yan Xining's mouth, how long had she not remembered this name, she remembered her strange fear of the world around her when she first came, she couldn't understand what they said, she was afraid that the people in the village would find out that she was a strange spirit, and she didn't dare to speak, she pretended to be crazy and stupid for more than half a year, if it weren't for Yan Feng's strange eyes from the villagers, insisting on taking her in and being good to her, she would probably have had trouble surviving in this world, yes, take her in, she is a child that Yan Feng picked up from the side of the road, no one knows who the biological parents of this body are, No one knows that the soul of this body is her Gu Hengxue, the real Yan Xining, I don't know when she has already died, she has no memory of Yan Xining, but she must live in place of her.

Yan Xining shook her head, put aside her cranky thoughts, got up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she was poor, she had to work hard, she didn't have so much time to think about the past, Yan Feng sent the medicine, she had to sort out the remaining medicinal materials in the house. Otherwise, there will be no medicinal herbs to send next time.

"Peng Peng Peng!" Xi Ning was concentrating on sorting out the medicinal herbs in the courtyard, when there was a sudden eager knock at the door. She walked over and opened the door, and saw Yun Yifan, the son of Uncle Yun's family next door, said with a panicked expression: "Xi Ning, the village chief asked the whole village to gather at the entrance of the village, saying that there was a decree issued by the imperial court. ”

"Oh, then let's go over first, my father went to Luoyang City, and now no one is here." Xi Ning listened to Yun Yifan's eagerness, hurriedly ran into the courtyard to pack up the sorted medicinal materials, and ran to the entrance of the village with Yun Yifan.

There is a hundred-year-old locust tree at the entrance of Fu'an Village, the trunk is full of three adult men hugging thick, there is a huge stone step under the tree, which is specially dragged under the tree by the villagers, after the end of the busy farming in the past, they always like to come here to rest and enjoy the coolness, talk about the major events that have happened in the village recently, now the village chief is touching his gray beard, standing on the stone steps, and standing a head higher in the gathered crowd.

Xi Ning saw the village chief's unusually conspicuous head melon seeds in the crowd from a distance, she sighed silently, every time the imperial court issued a decree, their life was a little more difficult, she still remembered that three years ago was to gather Zhuang Ding to repair the palace in Luoyang, the village went to twenty or thirty people, and only five or six people came back, at that time the village held a collective funeral ceremony, deafening crying and mourning, the long white flags and coffin procession, can not be seen at a glance, that incident left a lot of psychological shadow on Yan Xining, so that she had a nightmare for almost a month, also made her truly realize for the first time what a cruel and hierarchical feudal society she was in.

Yan Xining and Yun Yifan walked to Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun, looked at the oppressive atmosphere around them, and silently waited for the bad news with everyone. After a while, the village chief saw that everyone was almost there, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone be quiet." ”

Seeing the village chief speak, everyone stopped whispering, and Yan Xining saw that many people came directly from the fields, and some didn't even have time to wash the mud on their bare feet. It seems that this decree is no smaller than the one three years ago, Yan Xi scolded in his stomach.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, the village chief took out the decree in his arms and said: "This matter is a major event of the imperial court, if everyone does a good job, glory and wealth, and glory and glory are just around the corner." Seeing that the villagers didn't have a big reaction, obviously completely distrustful of his so-called glory and wealth, the village chief coughed and continued: "Li Shusheng, you are a scholar, come and read the decree to everyone." ”

The young man who was called by name stepped forward, stepped on the stone steps, took the decree and opened it, and began to read it aloud: "Goguryeo is disrespectful to the emperor, the emperor wants to lead the army to crusade against it in the next month, and has revived the prestige of the Great Jin Dynasty, and now recruits millions of soldiers in the country, all the men in the family are over 18 years old, and those who are not extremely 50 will join the Eastern Expeditionary Army, and there will be less than one person in each household, and those who want to serve the country can also be reported to the military camp in the western suburbs of Luoyang within ten days. The more Li Shusheng read it, the paler his face became, his voice became smaller and smaller, and when he read it to the whole family, his hands were trembling, and the thin paper in his hand was almost unstable.

Yan Xi listened to Li Shusheng's recitation, the whole person was stunned, her hands couldn't stop trembling, within the age of fifty, wouldn't her father also have to go to the battlefield......

The villagers were shocked by the decree, and no one spoke for a while, only the rustle of the leaves under the old locust tree was blown by the wind, and I don't know who shouted: "This world, isn't this forcing us to death?" Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, and there was a commotion under the old locust tree, and some people even hugged their heads and cried.

Yan Xining felt that Aunt Yun was holding her hand tighter and tighter, and endless pain came from her hand, Xi Ning felt it silently, and replaced the panic in her heart with physical pain, which was fine.

"You said that they are officials, and they have to raise our various taxes at every turn on weekdays, and now they want to let our families go to war, why don't those who are officials go to war." Aunt Yun couldn't help but wail.

"Mother, don't say it, let them hear it, we will have to suffer." Yun Yifan persuaded, "I'll go to our house." "The Yun family has a total of three children, the first two are daughters, he is the only son of Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun, and he is just over eighteen years old this year.

"What nonsense are you talking about, dead boy, your father and I are not yet fifty, you are the hope of our family, and what should I do if you leave Xi Ning?" Uncle Yun is in a position to beat Yun Yifan.

Yan Xining was stunned for a moment after listening to Uncle Yun's words, only to realize that she and Yun Yifan had a marriage contract, and after she became "not stupid", Yan Feng hurriedly asked the matchmaker in the village to tell her about this family, the Yun family has always been not very satisfied with this family matter, even if she is stupid one day, she has no choice but to find something more suitable, so she has been dragging it out, Yan Xining didn't expect that they would talk about this matter at this time.

Yun Yifan listened to Uncle Yun's words, looked at Xi Ning apologetically, and said: "Dad is the backbone of the family, if the backbone falls, our family will be finished, I am young and strong, and if I go to the battlefield, I may be able to make military merits and honor my ancestors, as for Xi Ning, if you have someone you like after I join the army, you can marry yourself, you don't have to wait for me." ”

"Brother Yifan, I'm ......" Yan Xining was about to say something, but the village chief shouted again: "Everyone is going to let whoever in the family go home to discuss, remember to go to the Luoyang military camp to report within ten days, otherwise the officers and soldiers will come to arrest people, and everyone will have no good fruit to eat." ”

"Let's go back and talk about it." Uncle Yun's deep voice came.

Yan Xi Ning listened and replied, "Uncle Yun and Aunt Yun, Brother Yifan, I want to wait for my father here, you can go back first." ”

When Uncle Yun heard Xi Ning's words, he thought that the Yan family was a man with Yan Feng, and he had to go without even having a choice, so he sighed and left with his wife and son first.

Gradually, the people dispersed, Yan Xining walked to the stone steps under the old locust tree and sat down, picked up a branch and gestured on the ground, and unconsciously wrote the poem "The general died in a hundred battles, and the strong man returned in ten years", looking at the poems on the ground, she smiled helplessly, she always thought that she couldn't have anything to do with the war, but I didn't expect that so soon, someone in the family was going to fight, but a few people came back to fight in ancient times, Yan Feng went, she was not sure whether she could come back safely, think about the scene she saw three years ago, If she became the protagonist, she didn't dare to think about it......

The sun gradually moved from east to west, Yan Xining watched her shadow change in the sun, and suddenly a pair of old cloth boots stepped on her shadow, she raised her head and looked, Yan Feng stood in front of her, his expression was solemn, obviously he knew the content of the decree.

Yan Xining stood up and said, "Dad, are you back so early today?" She looked at the full medicinal herbs in Yan Feng's back basket, and it was obvious that Yan Feng did not send the medicinal materials to the medical hall today.

"Xi Ning" Yan Feng touched Yan Xi Ning's head, sighed and said, "I have already gone to the Luoyang military camp to report." ”

"Oh." Yan Xining replied in a low voice, "Dad, let's go home first." ”
