"Knock knock—"

Niujia Village, which was originally quiet in the afternoon, was broken by the deafening sound of the gong, which will not be struck once in ten years, and something major will definitely happen when it is struck once.

After realizing this, Ye Bing didn't have time to enjoy the joy of the reunion of his master and apprentice, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and ran out of the house as soon as possible.

As expected, men and women, young and old, all came out to see the situation and asked, "Is this what happened?" ”

The people who came out early shook their heads and said, "I don't know, I didn't say it." ”

Obviously, the villagers present didn't know what was going on, so the chief was so anxious to beat the gong to summon the villagers.

Soon, there were about 30 households and more than 200 people in Zhujia Village, all of whom were standing anxiously in the open space waiting for the next step.

Because the sound of the gong carries a serious warning, even the scoundrels do not dare to leave recklessly at this moment.

Just when the people in the village were looking forward to the stars and the moon with curiosity, they finally looked forward to the long time, and a piece of news made everyone present change their faces.

The officers and soldiers of the heavenly evil are here to catch the strong men again!

There is no age limit this time, as long as it is a man, you have to be arrested and sent to the battlefield if you are 99 years old or 9 years old, and each family has at least one head according to the proportion of the number of people, and there is no upper limit at most, which is simply inhumane.

This year, each family has lost a person in the prime of life, which is already a loss, and now it is coming again, even if there are many men in the family, they can't withstand such a toss back and forth.

There are even rumors that due to the scarcity of soldiers, even women will not be spared this time, as for what to do, the border is so far away, who can know.

These news came from the boy from the next village when he fled to Zhujia Village for refuge, and it was not a lie.

According to the meaning of the chief, since they have all gone to the next village, their Zhujia Village will not be spared, and the only way to do this is to go into the mountains to avoid disasters.

Most of the people in the village are authentic farmers of the N generation, who have been diligent and honest in farming all their lives, just trying to live a stable life, and they are not willing to go to the bloody hellish battlefield as cannon fodder, and then they agreed to go into the mountains to avoid disasters.

Because of the urgency of time, each family took some dry food and weapons at home and followed them into the mountains.

I don't know how long I will have to hide in the mountains this time, Ye Bing ordered Zhang Daxian to take Gu Peng and a few sons to follow the large army first.

And she directly threw a few chicks into the space, picked up the back basket in the yard, put the family food in it, and then covered it with a sheet.

In fact, most of the food was placed in the space by her, and a small part was put in the back basket just to hide people's eyes.

After dealing with all this, she tied Zhu Chongba in her arms with a sheet, then put the water tank full of water into the space, and then picked up a wooden bucket.

It is very dangerous to enter the mountains, and it is easy to encounter fierce beasts, and when kitchen knives and axes are not allowed, you can use them to protect yourself at the same time.

When you're ready, you leave.

Since the things left in the house were not valuable, Ye Bing didn't even bother to lock the courtyard door, so he went directly to the mountain.

Fortunately, as soon as she left the house on the front foot, a large number of officers and soldiers poured in on the back foot.

When you see home, you rush, when you see the door closed, you kick it, when you enter the house, you turn it over, and when you see no one, you directly smash things.

Where there is a bit of the appearance of officers and soldiers, this is clearly the posture of bandits entering the village.

"Head, every house has been searched, but no one!"

"Xu is the fish that slipped through the net to report the news, now immediately divided into two teams, one team will go directly to the next village, and the other team will follow me up the mountain to arrest people, since they dare to disobey the emperor's order, then all of them will be given to me to be a strong man."

There were only a few nearby hills, and these officers and soldiers directly followed the footprints to find the direction in which the villagers had left, and then chased after them.
