Chapter 345

shouldn't ask for too much, after all, the current marriage is already the dream of other women, but she just can't make herself calm, especially when she thinks of Chu Xiaonan and Chu Xiaoxi, she feels that the two of them are much better off than herself, and her heart is even more unbalanced.

She hopes that Zhang Gongzi can care more about herself, be kind to herself, and be more patient with herself, but obviously he can't do it, in addition to focusing his attention on books, it is other women, he likes women who are versatile and understand poetry and songs, but he is not like this.

When she thought of this, she felt sad and aggrieved, and she couldn't help but burst into tears. She wasn't like this before, but now she likes to be sentimental more and more, and she cries when she is sad at every turn, and she doesn't know what is wrong with her.

She really wants to change back to the Chu Xiaobei she used to be, but people will grow up, and after they grow up, they will definitely be different from before, there is no way to do it.

At the same time, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun had already come to a place called Hezhou, where the people were simple, and the land was vast and the scenery was good, they decided to take a break here for a while, and then go on the road, there were not many places they encountered along the way that wanted to stay, and this was the only one.

They also found a cheap place to rent as before, then bought a little more necessities, and then settled down. Most of the time they practiced in their rooms, and sometimes when they were tired of cultivating, they would go out for a walk and have a look.

On this day, they went out for a walk again, and suddenly saw the villagers running back in a panic, as if they had encountered something serious, so they stopped a villager and asked what happened, and the villager said with a panicked face: "I heard that the imperial court is coming to recruit soldiers." ”

After hearing this, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun glanced at each other and asked, "Conscription?" So why are you panicking? Isn't conscription a normal thing? ”

The villager said: "I heard that this time except for the old, weak, sick and disabled will all go into battle, originally there are few people in our village, and now they will be extinct, and in the future, only the old, weak, sick and disabled will be left in our village, and there will be no one to do the farm work in the field." ”

Chu Xiaoxi said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

The villager said: "We plan to go home and inform the strong laborers of our family, and hide in the mountains first, and then come down after the soldiers are gone." And he hurried away.

Before leaving, he also reminded Shangguan Yun to hide quickly, otherwise he would definitely be arrested.

Chu Xiaoxi looked at Shangguan Yun and said, "Do we want to hide too?" ”

Shangguan Yun said: "No, anyway, we will use stealth techniques, and when the time comes, it's a big deal to be stealth, let's stay and see how these officers and soldiers catch strong men." After that, they stayed.

After a while, a large group of officers and soldiers surrounded the village with great vigour, and then shouted loudly, telling all the young people in the village to come out and go to the front line with them to fight.

But they shouted for a long time, only a few people came out, and the rest of the people did not move.

Seeing this, the soldiers were very angry, and began to search from house to house, but they found nothing, and the strong men had already gone to the mountains, and the soldiers were very angry, and they knew that these villagers must be fighting a guerrilla war with them, so they asked them where they had gone.

The village chief stood up and said with a bitter face: "Master Jun, we really only have these people, the strong laborers have gone out to work, and only the old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the village. ”

The leader of the soldiers didn't believe it, and said: "You don't give me a sloppy eye, you must have sent people out early when you heard the news, and told you that we have indicators, and if you can't meet the targets, you will have to fall to the ground like us." ”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked, because they didn't want their heads to fall to the ground, and one of them, an old man with no children and no daughters, stood up and said, "Uncle Jun, let me tell you the truth, those people have fled to the mountains." ”

After hearing this, the leader of the soldiers looked at the villagers angrily and said, "What, do you want to fall to the ground?" It is simply unreasonable to dare to deceive the court and deceive us military masters! I'll give you another chance, it's too late to call people back, or we'll sweep the village down." ”

There were so many of them that they all had weapons in their hands, and it was as easy as a matter of time to sweep down a village, and the villagers were terrified when they heard it.

The village chief said in a trembling voice: "Master Jun, don't be like this, we really have no way to do this, we really can't do without the pillars of the family, if they are all gone, our place will decline, and they don't know if they can come back safely, we still count on them to retire and die." ”

The military master pushed him to the ground with force, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, now the border is tight, and there is an urgent need for manpower and material resources, the reason why you live a comfortable life is because there are people on the front line to help you with, if the front line is broken, think about it, can you still have a comfortable life?" Now that you have a force to contribute to a force, a money to contribute a money, you have no sense of unity at all, and if you continue to obstruct it like this, you will be killed first to pay respect. As he spoke, he drew his sword.

His knife was so cold and shining that it looked so sharp that the villagers hurriedly begged for mercy for the village chief.

The soldier looked at them with pity, waved the knife in his hand and said, "I'll give you one last chance, hurry up to the mountains and bring back all your relatives, so that they can join the army honestly, otherwise, you will be good-looking!" ”

Seeing that there was really no way out, the villagers had no choice but to cry and go up the mountain, find all the family members who were hiding, and then take them to the encirclement.

When the soldiers saw that everyone was coming, they nodded with satisfaction, and the leader of the soldiers stepped forward and said, "Isn't this the end long ago, and you still want to deceive us, are we so easy to deceive?" Now you guys line up one by one, sign up, and then we're good to go. ”

When the villagers heard this, they immediately cried because they were really reluctant to let go of their families.

Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun were also among those people, and when they saw this situation, they were a little embarrassed and sad in their hearts, because they knew that those villagers were really pitiful, but if the front line was really tight, they really needed to replenish fresh blood, if they all hid
