When the village chief saw that the people were almost here, he stood up and told everyone to quiet down and stop talking.

He cleared his voice, looked at the people around him, and sighed, "Everyone already knows about the conscription, and you villagers don't have to worry, this time I'm going to repair the bridge." ”

The village chief waved his hand and pointed to the hillside in the distance, "There is a wooden bridge on the other side of the hillside, everyone knows it, and that place is too dangerous." Now there is an army to lead to it, so the capital has issued an order for each family to send one person to repair the bridge! ”

Although the wooden bridge over there is not very far, it is surrounded by bottomless cliffs, and if it really falls, it will be really completely broken!

As soon as these words came out, no one dared to answer.

Everyone looked at each other with each other, and if there was only one strong man in the family, his eyes were secretly red.

No one wants to repair the bridge by their own family, but the county lord has already issued an order, if you don't go, someone from the county will come directly to take it away, and then it will be the hardest job!

"So each of you will report one person to come up, and I will report to the county government after tomorrow, and then I will go to repair the bridge in the afternoon!"

The village chief finished his words very briefly, and waved his hand at everyone, "No matter how you discuss, someone must come out tomorrow, and don't come to me to cry, I can only say this!" ”

The people below were completely uproaring, some began to cry loudly, and some people dragged people home with sad faces.

Cai Yuanqi was still squatting on the stone bench, looking at these people coming and going, and sighed secretly in his heart.

In ancient times, it was all done by manpower, and there were no safety measures at all, and if you accidentally stepped on the air, you would really fall off the cliff and break your bones.

Douhua'er followed Cai Yuanqi's example, and pouted with her hands on her cheeks, "Aunt Qi, my father said that he wants to go to conscription, is it really difficult?" ”

"Why do you ask?"

Cai Yuanji's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his eyes and said, "It's not difficult, it's too dangerous." ”

She didn't know if it was Cai Fugui or the eldest brother and the second brother who were going, but after all, there was one to go, and Cai Yuanqi felt that her heart was stinging slightly.

There are no words to describe that worry.

"My mother has been crying for a few nights, and if she doesn't tell us secretly, my father can't help it."

Douhua'er wrinkled her little face, "Although I love to cry too, but seeing my mother crying like this, Douhua'er is unhappy." ”

Cai Yuanqi shook his head, "Auntie is not happy either, it would be good if there was no forced labor, so that everyone would not have to worry about their families!" ”

"It's just that the people in this army are so annoying!"

Douhua'er grabbed the stone on the ground and threw it into the distance, hoping to get all the unhappiness gone.

When everyone went back, Cai Yuanqi also separated from Douhuaer at the intersection, and as soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he heard Cai Yuanxuan's deep voice inside, "Mother, what are you crying about?" ”

Gu didn't answer, but Cai Fugui sighed, "You haven't done anything hard since you were a child, you are a weak scholar, this is to make me worry about you with your mother!" ”

Cai Yuanqi's eyes opened slightly, and he raised his hand to push open the courtyard door.

The four people who were talking in the courtyard all stood up in unison when they saw Cai Yuanqi coming back, and Gu Shi hurriedly turned his back to Cai Yuanqi and wiped the tears from his face.

Cai Yuanqi puffed out his little face, staring at Cai Yuanxuan, and tears rolled down directly in his big round eyes.

She originally wanted to snort and hold back, but she didn't expect this disobedient tears to fall directly.

Cai Yuanxuan stumbled in front of Cai Yuanxuan, hugged his waist, and said in a sobbing voice, "Big, big brother, I asked the village chief, we can pay, we don't have to go." ”

She went to the village chief's house and asked Cai Yuyao, knowing that as long as the money was paid, someone would go for them, but the cost was quite high.

The lives of their families are more important than the servitude of the dead in the pit.

Just as she is selfish or not, Cai Yuanqi feels that all the family affection she lost in her previous life has been recovered in this life, and she is reluctant to lose every bit of it.

Cai Yuanqi wiped the tears on his face with his small hand, took out his purse from his sleeve pocket, and poured it on the table.

The copper coins and silver ingots all rolled out, and the ten taels of silver that Liu Fu signed before, including the money earned during this time, were almost enough to have seventeen or eighteen taels of silver.

She sobbed and pulled the money on the stone bench, and kept babbling about how to find someone to help.

Gu and Cai Fugui were shocked by the money on the table, but they didn't expect this little daughter to have so much money in her hands.

Cai Yuanxuan stepped forward to wipe away her tears, and said distressedly, "Why are you crying like this, how is the eldest brother gone." ”

It's okay not to say it, the more Cai Yuanqi said it, the more uncomfortable he felt, he pouted, hugged Cai Yuanxuan and cried.

Cai Yuanxuan's always calm face was dyed with a helpless smile, he hugged Cai Yuanxuan, who was crying and trembling in his arms, and his eyelids slightly raised Cai Yuanen, who wanted to speak.

The little girl should have been worried about conscription these days, and now it has completely exploded.

Gu Shi was also crying, and sat on the stool against the wall, sighing.

After a while, Cai Yuanxuan's mood stabilized, and then he reacted and hugged Cai Yuanxuan and cried.

This old face is all gone.

Cai Yuanqi cautiously raised his eyes and glanced at a pair of smiling black eyes, and immediately covered his face and turned his head away from Cai Yuanxuan.

"Don't look at me, don't look at me."

The little chubby hand covered his eyes and said with great certainty, "I didn't do anything, nothing!" ”

Cai Yuanen deliberately stepped forward and grabbed Cai Yuanqi's hand, "I grabbed it, I'll see what the little fat man is crying like!" ”

"Cai Yuanen!"

She shook off Cai Yuanen's hand angrily, but she crashed into Cai Yuanxuan's arms without thinking about turning her head.

"You've been crying in my arms for so long, and you're worried about me seeing?"

Cai Yuanxuan raised his hand and put her on the stone bench, squatted in front of her, and chuckled, "Don't cry, the eldest brother looks very thin, and he is still very powerful." ”

Cai Yuanqi sniffed, still very distrustful.

"I can testify to this, I have never won a fight with my eldest brother."

Cai Yuanen had no choice but to take out his own troubles and "share" them with everyone, "Big brother not only knows how to fight, but also uses his brain." ”

"Really?"

Cai Yuanqi looked at Cai Yuanxuan suspiciously, with suspicion in his dark eyes, after all, his usual appearance of carrying books was too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the fight seemed to have nothing to do with him.

"Jiang Tianyun has a deep understanding that when he led people to bully me, my eldest brother beat him and lay him on the ground crying, snot and tears flowed everywhere."

Cai Yuanen described it vividly, and with hand movements, he described Jiang Tianyun as very miserable.

Cai Yuanqi couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that this matter should be true, otherwise it would be impossible for Cai Yuanen to describe it so carefully!
