Chapter 53: The Movement of the Yang (3)
When the wealthy family on the side of Shuyang was pitted by Lin Yuyan and Huang De, another piece of news quickly caused an uproar.
"The imperial court will form a new army in Shuyang?"
"Isn't this Shuyang army the city defender of Shuyang City, how can recruits come to our poor place?"
"Aren't those people in Shuyang City who have some connections blush...... Haha......"
Beiling of Huaiyang.
This is a mountainous area in the northwest of Shuyang, which is very remote, and it is precisely because of this that the Wuguo has experienced the disaster of war for a long time and has not affected this place.
This is not only the road into the mountain is difficult to walk, but the people of the clan also often practice martial arts, but this is not to deal with people, but there are really a lot of man-eating beasts in this mountain.
"Clan leader, is this a letter sent by Second Brother Yang from Huayang?"
The old clan leader raised his head, looked at the young men in front of him, and nodded slowly.
"Sure enough, it's Second Brother Yang!"
These young people were all overjoyed when they heard the answer, this second brother Yang is also a family in Beiling, but he walked out of the mountains and went outside to ask for work.
Beiling is difficult to produce grain, most of the people here rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, although there are many beasts that eat people in the mountains, but there are many things that can feed people.
These young men can't forget that every year when the snow closes the mountain in winter, there will always be a car full of food sent into the mountain and arrive at the gate of the Yang family.
The Yang family is a single family in Beiling, a father, a mother, two sons and two daughters, the eldest of the Yang family has been digging in the soil with the adults in the family since he was a child, but the second child of the Yang family is restless but walked out of the mountains, and got an official and a half position in Shuyang City.
The grain sent by the second child of the Yang family every winter is a cart full of grain, in addition to rice millet, there are bacon and bacon and the like.
So much so that the Yang family, who usually harvested very little, was often well fed and clothed in winter, which made people so envious!
The Yang family has a second child of the Yang family!
The old clan leader took a closer look at the book, and also said: "The second elder of the Yang family said that now there are recruiting troops in Shuyang City, if Beiling has some good offspring, you can go to Shuyang to join the army, and the treatment is much better than staying in the mountains and digging food......
Suddenly, the young students in front of him suddenly whispered.
"Second Brother Yang is really righteous!"
"Yes, Second Brother Yang treated us very well when he was a child!"
……
The old clan leader coughed a few times, then looked at the descendants in front of him, and then looked around, where were the clan elders and more authoritative people in the Beiling clan.
Immediately, the old clan leader also slowly spoke: "In the past few years, the food in the mountains has become more and more difficult to beg, and those man-eating beasts in the mountains often run down the mountain......
"Yes, there are not many things in the mountains......
"Old clan leader, you just say what you mean, we listen to you!"
The old clan leader nodded and said slowly, "I mean...... Send some outstanding descendants in the clan out to beg for work, you see that the second child of the Yang family is alone, and the food sent into the mountains every year is able to feed the Yang family, and it is also a blessing to carry the people in the clan, if there are a few descendants who can be the same as the second child of the Yang family, there will be no worries in the winter......"
"Okay, I see that there are a few descendants who have grown up in the past few years who are not inferior to the second child of the Yang family, it's time to let them out, they have been hiding in this mountain for a lifetime, don't let them be wasted in this mountain for the rest of their lives, and insult the bloodline passed down from their ancestors."
It is said that the ancestors of the clan of Beiling in Shuyang once had a great general of the imperial court, so not majestic, although now in this mountain, but when it comes to the ancestors, it is still very proud.
"Yes, I agree with the words of the old clan leader!"
"I also agree, my second child died in the big insects in the mountains, I should have let him go out and break in, even if he was killed, it is better than dying in those animals!"
Hearing this, the old clan leader nodded, then glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on a figure, and he slowly spoke: "Yang Jialang, do you want to go out?" ”
The figure at the end of the line of sight was only in his early twenties, but he was born tall, and he looked like he knew that Kong Wu was powerful!
When the old clan leader's question fell, the eldest man of the central family shook his head and refused: "The second brother is too young, and his mother is sick in bed all the year round, so I have to stay at home to take care of them!" ”
"Yangxiong, the old clan leader is a good intention, you better think about it......"
"Yes, Yang Xiong boy, you have a good body that can kill tigers, if you don't join the army and only think about digging in the soil, you are really blind!"
Even after Yang Xiong rejected the old clan leader's proposal, many clan elders also comforted him.
However, this Yang Xiong is extremely family-oriented, and he can't bear to abandon his mother and younger brother to go out alone.
The old clan leader glanced at Yang Xiong: "Your father saved the clansmen from the beast disaster back then, but he also broke himself, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered so much at such a young age." ”
"Old clan leader, don't say that, the people in the clan have also taken care of a lot of ...... in my family over the years."
The old clan leader changed his words and said: "Yangxiong, tomorrow is the eighth day of the new year, it is an auspicious day, I will be in charge, tomorrow Qi'er will enter your door......"
"Old clan leader, this is not appropriate, the family is poor, I'm afraid I missed Qi'er!"
The old clan leader shook his head and said: "You and Qi'er have known each other since childhood, and I made a decision with your father about this marriage, do you want to disobey your father's wishes, or dislike my granddaughter for not being worthy of you?" ”
"How so? The old clan led these words to Yang Xiong, and I was really afraid that Qi'er would enter my house and ...... Can't get used to ......"
Yang Xiong said this weakly.
"Can't get used to it?" The old clan leader asked rhetorically, and then replied to himself: "Yangxiong boy, every time you enter the mountain, Qi'er takes care of your mother and younger brother for ten days and half a month, can you be half slack?" Is there a half-complaint? ”
"This ......" Yang Xiong was speechless, and his bedridden mother also praised Qi'er.
"Since there is nothing to say, listen to me, the patriarch! The patriarch doesn't work, your father entrusted you to me, after all, you still remember! Yang Xiong, tomorrow you will take Qi'er to get started, and in a few days you will go to the city of Shuyang with the descendants of the clan to find the Yang family Erlang to find a way to join the army, your mother and second brother, you have Qi'er to take care of, we will also help watch, we will not let them have anything to do, if you have the heart, you will come back as soon as possible! ”
When the old clan leader said this, he was already showing his majesty as the head of the clan, especially when Yangxiong's father was still involved in his words, and there was no need to say more about the meaning of love.
"Yes......" finally Yang Xiong responded.
……
On the entire territory of Shuyang, the movements of the clan caused by this document can also be seen everywhere, so columns of small clans or commoner children formed a team and set foot on the road to Shuyang City.
