Chapter 346
If this is the case, then the war will definitely be lost, and the two of them also have some contradictions, and they don't know whether to help these villagers or not.
Chu Xiaoxi cautiously followed Guan Yun and said, "What should I do, should we help or not?" ”
Shangguan Yun pondered for a moment and said: "If we just join the army, I don't think there is any need for us to interfere, after all, the imperial court has the plans of the imperial court, and if we interfere, it will not be good for this village, let's wait and see what happens." ”
Chu Xiaoxi felt that what he said made sense, nodded, and then they continued to observe the strong laborers lining up, signing and drawing on a piece of paper one by one, and after that, their relatives wiped their tears and went back to pack their luggage for them, and after packing up, they were left with a big burden on their backs, and then those soldiers pressed them to leave.
The villagers kept sending them to the entrance of the village, and then they kept crying, like a funeral procession, and when they had cried enough, they grabbed the man who had betrayed them and angrily denounced them.
The man said helplessly: "I can't help it, if we don't hand over the people, they will definitely not give up, and then our whole village will have to be buried together." ”
The villagers knew that those officers and soldiers had always been domineering, and if they didn't hand them over, they might really have to bury the whole village, so in the end they had to reluctantly accept this reality, let that person go, and then pray that their families would be safe.
When those strong men took people away, Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun deliberately hidden, so they didn't see these two people, and the two of them didn't appear until they left, and the villagers were taken aback when they saw the two of them, and said, "Are you two still there?" ”
Shangguan Yun nodded and said, "Don't be too sad, they may not be able to come back, maybe they will return safely after the war is over, and they will also practice good skills." ”
When the villagers heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed, and said, "I have arrested strong men before, but they are from nearby villages and towns, and none of those people have returned." I didn't expect it to be our village's turn so soon, and we didn't have any hope, so let's just assume that we never gave birth to this son. He was sad and weeping again.
Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun felt strange when they heard it, it was impossible that no one had come back, so they asked in detail what was going on, those villagers said that they may have lived in a relatively remote area, and they had never heard of any war on the front line, but the imperial court kept recruiting soldiers, and every time they took away their young and strong laborers, none of them came back after that, and they didn't know what was going on.
They had sent people to ask, but there was no definite answer, only that they had told them to wait quietly, and that they would always go back. They suspected that those people were long gone, and the court said this to appease them and continue to recruit soldiers next time.
When Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun heard this, they felt that this matter was quite strange, even if it was a march and a battle, it was impossible for the entire army to be wiped out, there was no one left, and there was no news at all. They decided to follow the conscription to see what was going on, so they said goodbye to the villagers and dressed up as ordinary people and blended into the marching procession.
Chu Xiaoxi deliberately blackened his face and dressed up as a man, they marched all the way, and there was nothing unusual about Xiaoxing's overnight stay. Chu Xiaoxi quietly said to Shangguan: "I don't know where this team is going, we should find a way to inquire, and then go over there and wait before them, what do you think?" ”
Shangguan Yun felt that it made sense, so he tried his best to inquire about where their destination was, but no matter how much they inquired, they couldn't find anything, because the officers and soldiers who escorted them were very tight-mouthed, and they didn't say where to send them at all.
The more they were like this, the more strange Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun felt, if they really went to the front line to fight, there was no need to hide it from them, was there really any ulterior secret? They decided to continue lurking in the ranks to see what would happen.
One day, half a month later, they finally came to a place deep in the mountains and old forests, which was already a long way away from the place where they had set out.
They were 10 points tired, and their faces were full of pain, because they didn't want to join the army at all, and they had to trek through mountains and rivers and stay away from their relatives. Some of them are only in their 10s and are still children, but they have to leave their families and mothers to come here, and they are the saddest and most sympathetic.
Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun tried their best to appease these people, when they were in trouble or when they were sick, they quietly used spells to treat them, help them, comfort them, and give them spiritual encouragement.
Some of them didn't know Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun, and asked them where they came from and why they came with them, and those officers and soldiers only arrested people from their village, and the two of them were not from their village.
Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun said that they were just curious, and wanted to see what they did when they joined the army, and what interesting things were there, but those people rolled their eyes when they heard it, saying that there were any interesting things to do when they joined the army, which was nothing more than to go to the front line to send their lives, and persuaded the two of them not to follow and join in the fun.
But Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun insisted on going, and the two of them would not stop until they found out the truth, only when they saw that these people really went to the front line and really entered the war, they could leave with confidence.
Those people can't persuade them, so they can only let them, and if they can help them, they will also like to hear about them.
Those officers and soldiers had an indifferent face all the way, and they didn't pay much attention to these people, and sometimes they would use violence to urge them to move forward when they walked slowly, and they found that Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun seemed to be the backbone of these people, so they were a little dissatisfied, and they always targeted the two of them.
But these two people never dragged their feet, and they were the first to show up to help when everyone had something, and they couldn't find anything wrong, so the leader of the soldiers looked down on them more and more, and always wanted to find an opportunity to clean them up, kill the chickens and show the monkeys, and not let those people rely on them too much, and take them too seriously.
But Chu Xiaoxi and Shangguan Yun didn't give him this opportunity, besides, the two of them had spells, and they could always hide from them with some tricks.
The people rested and cooked
