Chapter 161: Forced Labor
In fact, it was not that he was afraid of Yun Qianhan and Bai Hao, but that he was worried that there were other larger sects behind the two of them to protect them, and if one was not careful, he would not only fold the brothers in, but even the entire village and town.
Because you don't know if those two children have powerful parents and brothers, or powerful masters, who will come to avenge them when the time comes.
At the beginning, the leader was still a little unsure, suspecting that he had seen it wrong, until he listened to the fat man's words, he completely rested his thoughts, even if it was not good, it was also an immortal cultivator.
"Big brother, if we go to catch it, we may not be able to catch it. "The young offspring was a little unwilling, and finally there were two substitutes for the dead, and suddenly they couldn't use it, just like a boiled duck flying.
The leader sneered and reprimanded: "Rest your mind, I also know that it is difficult to find the right person, but what about after being caught? It's better to let them go. ”
The latter was still a little worried, and said uneasily: "We chase after us like this, maybe they will retaliate in the future after they leave!"
Before the leader could say anything, the fat man took the initiative to open his mouth: "Do you think that all immortals are as small-bellied as mortals? They pay attention to cultivating the Dao heart, and it is wrong for us to stop us, and it is natural for them to kill people, and they will take revenge on them? I am afraid that you don't know how to write the word "heaven's punishment!"
The other person chimed in and said: "Yes, we can be considered to have settled the matter, and the grievances have been written off, and their immortal cultivators are more afraid of the curse of heaven than anyone else because they are rushing to ascend." ”
Hou Sheng stopped talking, looking at the direction of Yun Qianhan and the two of them escaping, he was unwilling, and returned to the team in a low mood, he didn't know how to explain to the government, and the others didn't know.
Finally, the fat man couldn't help but ask the leader again: "Big brother, although it is excusable to let the two go, but the day after tomorrow is the last day of the government deadline......"
The rest of the words were not said, but everyone understood what it meant, this year, Qingyun Country has recruited troops frequently, and all of them are sent to the bitter cold land in the north, the rich can spend money to exempt them, and the poor can only fight with their lives.
fought for their lives, but as a result, seven or eight out of ten were gone, and few of them could come back alive.
Several people came out of the same village, formed a team, and introduced a big brother, thinking that if they could catch one or two thieves, they would be exempted from forced labor, but except that the deadline was getting closer and closer, there was no result.
"Why don't we go up the mountain directly?" Hou Sheng whispered, his eyes wandering and he didn't dare to look at everyone, this is not a glorious thing in the end.
Sure enough, before the words landed, he was severely reprimanded: "What are you thinking about? If you don't worry about going up the mountain yourself, what about the old people and children at home? Do you want them to be pulled out of the backbone all the time?"
Don't say such things again in the future, if I hear it again next time, I will directly ask you to whip you!"
But soon, this team of people fell silent again, not going up the mountain, nine deaths, going up the mountain, which means that the father, mother, wife and children will not be able to raise their heads and be people for the rest of their lives, and the two-day road, no matter which one is a dead end.
The leader sighed and said with a miserable smile: "Bear the soldiers are well buried, don't we have one more day tomorrow? Maybe we will be lucky better than today and be exempted from forced labor." ”
These were just comforting words, everyone was absent-minded, and their mood fell to the bottom again, but they did not have hope for tomorrow, and the whole team was shrouded in low pressure, which made people breathless.
