Xu Chengzhi and Xu Chengan returned to the house where they live now, thinking of what Cheng'an said to him two days ago, and what Cheng'an said to A-Niang today, Xu Chengzhi said worriedly, "Cheng'an, I don't want you to join the army!" ”

Xu Chengan looked at Xu Chengzhi and smiled bitterly, "Big brother, there is always someone who wants to join the army, that person must not be you, whether it is A-Niang or I can't agree, I don't know what else I can do for our family except to occupy this name to join the army." ”

That's right, if they really want to recruit soldiers, their family will always have a person, he is the eldest son, this kind of thing was originally done by his eldest son, how can he let Cheng An come?

Xu Chengzhi was a little sad and a little unwilling, and after thinking about it, he finally said to Cheng'an, "Although there is news that we in Linchuan will not be spared from this conscription, but it is not known when this conscription will be, maybe it is really possible to take our Xu family village down, and you will ...... it then."

"When the time comes, I will naturally stay at home and take good care of A-Niang, so as not to worry about my eldest brother and A-Niang!"

Xu Chengzhi seemed to be relieved, but the possibility he said was impossible even for himself, it was just a thought.

But Xu Chengzhi didn't expect this idea to be broken so quickly, because the next day the officers and soldiers came to Linchuan to recruit soldiers, and even a few people came to the remote place of Xujia Village.

Xu Chengan almost did not hesitate to sign up, in his opinion, there are still some things to do sooner or later, there is no need to delay any longer, conscription for seven days, and leave after seven days.

In Xu Chengan's opinion, since he has already decided to join the army, it doesn't make much difference whether it is seven days or one day.

It's just that......

The only thing that surprised him was that compared to other places, Linchuan was not a compulsory conscription, but a voluntary conscription, and the above was still relatively tolerant of Linchuan.

Xu Chengzhi was very annoyed when he saw this, obviously Cheng'an had promised him that he wouldn't let him worry, since it was not mandatory, why did Cheng'an sign up?

What makes Xu Chengzhi even more unacceptable is that Xu A-Niang still knows about it, although he knows that there is not much difference between Xu A-Niang now and only after Cheng An left seven days later, but Cheng Zhi still doesn't like that someone has already taken the first step to let Xu A-Niang know about it.

Xu A-Niang looked shocked, as if she couldn't understand how her son, who had always been sensible and didn't need her to bother, could it be that Xu Cheng'an still resented himself because of the events of that day, so he wanted to escape from her family by taking advantage of this conscription?

I can't help but let Ah Niang not want this, but she knows that there are very few people in the village who finally sign up, but among these few people there is her youngest son.

Xu Chengzhi Xu Chengan looked at Xu A-Niang, who was so angry in front of him that she couldn't speak, and Wen Yuan was also full of shock when she saw the scene in front of her, as if she didn't know that her Cheng'an brother would do such a thing, so no one persuaded Xu A-Niang for a while.

"Xu Cheng'an, you ......"

Xu A-Niang has never called Xu Cheng'an by name and surname, and everyone knew that Xu A-Niang must be angry when she called out, but after Xu A-Niang called Xu Cheng'an, she finally sighed helplessly and said, "Don't you want A-Niang?" ”

Everyone can hear the grief in her voice, even if Xu A-Niang is angry at this time, she is more helpless and at a loss.

Xu Chengan couldn't say that since it was not a forced conscription, why did he still sign up without hesitation?

Half a sound, Xu Chengan finally said, "If the country is not there, why settle down?" ”

"You ......"

Xu A-Niang pointed at Xu Cheng'an for a long time and couldn't speak, she didn't know when this child had a sense of family and country, no one has come to Linchuan for so many years, and no one has ever set foot in Xujia Village to recruit soldiers, although there have been wars from time to time for so many years, but they have never broken the country and died, their Xujia Village, and their Xu family are not all good?

Excuses, after all, are excuses, what is the reason why Xu Chengan insisted on joining the army?

Xu Cheng'an, who lowered his head, didn't see the disbelief in Xu A-Niang's eyes, but Xu Chengzhi and Wen Yuan could see it clearly, Xu A-Niang, who was lying on the bed, trembled and pointed at Xu Cheng'an, but after a long time, she was powerless to put it down, but there was disappointment and grief in her eyes.

"It's okay now, when others talked about you Xu Chengan before, they said that you were inferior to your eldest brother in everything, right? No one will say that in the future, right? In the future, when others want to talk about the Xu family, Xu Cheng'an, they will say that you Xu Chengan is a real man, and he has gone to protect his family and defend the country, isn't it? ”

Xu A-Niang's sad and disappointed words were full of sarcasm, Xu Chengan finally raised his head under such sarcasm, he didn't want A-Niang to say this about himself, and he didn't want A-Niang not to understand himself.

"A-Niang, that person ...... at the beginning"

Xu Chengan bit his lip for a while and finally said, "I heard Uncle Ah Hu say that that person didn't look like an ordinary rich businessman, he seemed to be a military person!" ”

Speaking of the beginning, the disappointment in Xu Aniang's eyes finally disappeared, but the grief in her eyes seemed to be deeper, "That person at the beginning? ”

Xu A-Niang smiled self-deprecatingly, "What can your Uncle Hu know?" Just because people have a little skill, they say that they are in the army, even if they are in the army? There are more people in the army, there are soldiers in the south, and there are soldiers in the north. Where are you going? Are you going to get revenge? Where else do you want to get revenge? ”

"And you, Xu Chengzhi!" After talking about Xu Cheng'an, Xu A-Niang put the topic on Xu Cheng'an and said, "You have been thinking about the imperial examination for so many years, becoming an official, and avenging your father after you get out of Xujia Village, but you tell me how you want to take revenge?" We don't even know his name, so how can you find him? ”

"Excuses, all excuses, all excuses for you to want to leave Xujia Village and leave A-Niang."

Xu Aniang, who has always been more attentive in front of the children, finally cried bitterly when her son was about to leave her, and hung her hands weakly on the bed, she would support the children no matter what they did, as long as the children wanted to do it.

But now that she Xu A-Niang has become like this, she may never wake up again, how can they be willing to leave her one by one?

They all use the pretext of avenging their father, but what are they really thinking in their hearts?

No matter what happens to them, Xu Qing is gone, and she can't come back, but her two sons are still there, is it possible that the children's hearts are big, and she can't even keep these two children?

Xu Chengan stepped forward to hug the grief-stricken Xu A-Niang, his eyes were slightly red, his voice was a little, and he said hoarsely, "A-Niang, I'm sorry, it's my son who made you worry, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, my son doesn't want it to miss it like this." ”

In fact, he thought about it later, although the words he said to A-Niang were all for a certain reason, but it was still not the most fundamental reason, in the final analysis, the final reason was that he wanted to leave, this place in Xujia Village was full of some idle people and the gossip that accompanied them, he didn't want to stay here anymore, he just wanted to leave, even if there was A-Niang, Uncle Ahu, and many people he liked, but he still wanted to go to a place where no one knew who he Xu Cheng'an was and started over!

He was so tired, he told himself again and again not to mind, but the gossip of those people still broke him after all, every time he went out of Xu's house, every time he saw those people, he Xu Chengan felt so tired and tired.

But he can't say these words to Xu A-Niang, nor can he say them to Xu Chengzhi, and he can't say them to everyone in this family, when he first had this thought, he was also entangled in his heart, he didn't want to leave the eldest brother and A-Niang, but one day the eldest brother will also leave, so what about him?

His high-sounding excuses can't hide his selfish thoughts after all, and the idea of wanting to leave as soon as possible, he is selfish, unfilial, and even keeps making excuses for his actions.

If one day he asked himself, would he regret it? He thought it was definitely true, at least he regretted it now, he wanted to go to the soldier with his name written on it, and wanted to tell them that he didn't want to go, but he remembered what the man said, and heard that it was not compulsory to try it once, and if the effect was not good, it would still be compulsory to conscript, and no one could escape to protect the family and defend the country.

Thinking of this, Xu Chengan could only helplessly hug Xu A-Niang tightly, and said almost choked, "A-Niang, you wait for me, I will definitely come back." ”

Xu Chengzhi just heard Tan Yan say that he was about to come to Linchuan to recruit troops today, but he never knew the specific matters of conscription, so he wanted to hurry up to Tan Yan now to ask what the situation was, and whether there was room for Cheng'an's affairs to turn around.

But Xu A-Niang cried for a long time in Xu Cheng'an's arms, and finally relented helplessly, "You go, A-Niang only hopes that you don't go too far, you must remember to go home!" ”

Xu Chengan cried and nodded and said, "Auntie, don't worry, my son will be safe and sound, and he will definitely come back!" ”

After coaxing Xu A-Niang to sleep, they came out of Xu A-Niang's house, Xu Chengzhi didn't look at Xu Cheng'an and said, "Cheng'an, you come with me!" ”

Wen Yuan looked at their backs and thought about it and followed, she also wanted to know what Brother Cheng'an was thinking, and what was going on with Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an's father? I've heard Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an mention it ambiguously before, but I didn't think that it could have anything to do with the military camp? Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an's father aren't just ordinary villagers in Xujia Village?

Wen Yuan felt that she was getting more and more confused!

Cheng Zhi Cheng An naturally heard Wen Yuan's footsteps behind him, but neither of them refused Wen Yuan to come over, even if she let her know, there were no secrets in their family that could not be known.

After entering the room, Wen Yuan, who was the last to enter the door, quietly closed the door, and finally sat next to the silent two brothers, but she regretted it after a while.

Brother Chengzhi only cared about playing with the quilt in his hand, as if the cup could be turned out by him so left and right, and Brother Cheng'an kept his head down and didn't plan to say anything, as if he was just waiting for Brother Chengzhi to reprimand him.

The two of them were silent for a long time, as if they were more patient than anyone else, and who would speak first.

But they can sit still, but Wen Yuan can't sit still, she moved her little butt uncomfortably, and wanted to ask Brother Chengzhi and Brother Cheng'an what are you doing here.

Sensing Wen Yuan's small movements, Xu Chengan still lowered his head and didn't say a word, but Xu Chengzhi glanced at Wen Yuan, and then turned his head to look at Xu Chengan and said, "Don't you have anything to say to me?" ”

Xu Chengzhi's voice was very calm, and he didn't seem to be angry because Xu Cheng'an did this behind his back, but the calmer he was, the more Wen Yuan on the side listened to the drums, a little panicked, and then looked at Brother Cheng'an, but he was still as steady as Mount Tai, and it seemed that he no longer took out the Brother Cheng'an who was unhappy because Brother Chengzhi ignored him.

I don't know what Brother Cheng'an is thinking?
