Liu led the children into the house, and felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and when he saw Zhang, who had not been out of the house for many years, sitting in the hall, his heart suddenly rose to his throat.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Liu hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

After Lin Meiyi instructed her younger brothers and sisters to put all the things they bought back in their respective rooms, she also immediately came to the hall.

Everyone surrounded Zhang in the middle, and they all looked at her worriedly.

I saw Zhang raise his head and look at them all, and asked suspiciously, "What about talent?" ”

"Mother, he went to Wang Lin's house next door to return the car." Liu explained while asking suspiciously: "Why is the village so quiet?" Isn't something big wrong? ”

Zhang nodded, and suddenly, the hearts of Lin Meiyi and the others hung up, but when they asked again, Zhang said that they would wait for Lin Youcai to come back.

So, the family stood at the door of the hall and waited for Lin Youcai to come back.

The waiting time is always very long, and even though only a few minutes have passed, Liu Shi feels as if several years have passed, and muttered:

"What is this for? Why don't you return the car and not come back! ”

I couldn't wait, but my mother-in-law didn't open her mouth, Liu hurriedly called the dog over, and was about to let him go next door to call someone, Lin Youcai finally came back.

"Why has it been so long, my mother is waiting for you here, come on!" Liu Shi greeted him, grabbed Lin Youcai and entered the house, and pushed him in front of Zhang.

"Mother, it's just here, tell me what you have to say."

If you don't say it, she's going to suffocate.

Liu's impatient temperament made Zhang glaring at her angrily, "What are you anxious about?" are all mothers, and they are still so frizzy, what kind of system! ”

Zhang's rarely speaks seriously, usually her daughter-in-law joins in the fun everywhere as long as she doesn't set herself on fire, she also turns a blind eye, and today's Liu's behavior is more restrained than before, but she didn't expect to make Zhang's angry.

Liu's heart suddenly chuckled, feeling bad.

Sure enough, when Zhang took out the conscription order from her sleeve, she was completely stupid.

"Today, the barbarians have invaded my Great Zhou border repeatedly, and I can't bear anything...... Protecting the family and defending the country is the ...... of my big Zhou man Father? "The dog is not very literate, and when he reads this, he gets stuck, and he looks at his father for help.

Lin Youcai's face was gloomy, and he continued to read his son's unfinished words, "It is the responsibility of my Da Zhou boy to protect the family and defend the country, and I now order one person from each household, over the age of fourteen, and a man under the age of forty, to be called." ”

There is a lot of content in the back, but they are all some exemption conditions, such as female households do not use, meritorious people do not use, the rest are gone, and even money is not used to offset it, and no one can run away from complete compulsory recruitment.

Of course, those who have slaves in the family can also be replaced by slaves, but the Lin family does not even have slaves, which shows that one of the two school-age men of the Lin family must be forced to apply.

Everyone in the room was silent, it was already completely dark, but Liu didn't have the heart to prepare dinner now.

One is a husband and the other is the eldest son, and neither of her wants to leave.

"This is so good, why is there a war?" Liu's eyes were full of doubt and disbelief.

She is so well-informed that she has not heard any news of the war, could it be fake?

As if to make people like Liu recognize the reality, the big bronze bell that is not used in the village all year round was ringed, and the bell was heavy, as if every sound was a sign that the day was about to change.

"Let's go, let's go to the entrance of the village first and see what the village chief has to say." Lin Youcai said.

Lin Meiyi nodded, picked up Zhang, and walked to the entrance of the village together.

met Uncle Pan's family on the way, Pan Xian walked while sniffing, her mind had long since drifted away, and she didn't even notice that Lin Meiyi passed by her.

Lin Youcai stepped forward to talk to Pan Bao, and the two men discussed in a low voice, unable to hear what they were talking about, but they could see that the mood of the two was getting lower and lower.

Xiao Niangzi hugged her son who could just walk and silently protected Pan Xian to the side, and when she saw Lin Meiyi, she reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth at her, and then turned around to tease her son, who didn't know what was going on, and took care of herself.

Liu used to say that Mrs. Xiao had to "mention" her at least two sentences, but this time, she didn't speak all the way, only grabbed Lin Dalang's hand tightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

Lin Meiyi held her grandmother with her left hand, and let her younger brothers and sisters hold tightly with her right hand, and the sisters and brothers, who had always been noisy, were now so well-behaved.

When the people came to the entrance of the village, the village chief asked all the men over the age of fourteen and under the age of forty to stand in front of them, and counted the number of people in each family one by one to make sure that nothing was missing, and then he took out the disturbing conscription order and read it aloud.

In the past, anyone in the family who was literate left a conscription order, and if he was illiterate, he also called his sons and grandchildren to come to the door to notify him, and now he reads the conscription order, even if some sentences are too obscure, everyone can understand it.

When the village chief finished reading, someone asked loudly: "Village chief, how much silver can be used to offset military service?" ”

This voice Lin Meiyi felt familiar, and when she raised her eyes, it turned out that it was Zhu Tang's father, Zhu San, who was asking.

The family is considered a wealthy family in the village, but unfortunately, this time it is a forced conscription, and it is useless to spend money.

Sure enough, when he heard the village chief respond that he had to pay someone out and couldn't use the money to get rid of it, Zhu San's face changed.

Not only him, but many people have changed their faces.

But what made Lin Meiyi feel the most amazing was Mrs. Wang's family, Wang Ping and Wang An, the two brothers, actually laughed, secretly glad that their family had not been separated, and only one man needed to come out of the family.

And Wang Quan, who had already been separated, was full of sorrow, thinking that he had encountered the same predicament as the Lin family.

Lin Meiyi silently glanced at the tall young slave standing behind Wang Yun, but felt that the Wang family did not need to be so worried.

Isn't there a ready-made slave to arrive?

Even Erya saw it and whispered: "Wang Yun will definitely let this slave replace her eldest brother." ”

"What else do you need to say?" Dogan raised an eyebrow, looking like he had known it for a long time.

Lin Meiyi was silent, she couldn't remember whether there was a conscription plot in the plot of the original book, but she knew that Barr would definitely return to his hometown in the later period, so she ...... Is it really Barr who went this time?

Under the big tree, the village chief saw that the big guy's emotions were almost digested, and he talked about the benefits of being a soldier, what is the glory of the ancestors to protect the family and defend the country, what is the courage to kill the enemy, you can increase the official and enter the knighthood, anyway, how to say it, it seems that you don't have to lose your life on the battlefield.

Not to mention, the effect is really good, as soon as many hot-blooded young people came up, they immediately rushed forward to prepare to sign up, if someone hadn't stopped them, they would have almost been dragged back by their families and killed.

"Don't Xiao descendants, our family is your only seedling, and you still want to die? If you dare to be a soldier, the old lady will die for you! ”

"Bastard boy, hurry up and follow me to the ancestral hall to apologize to my ancestors!"

The irascible woman dragged her stunned son and left.
