But her escape may be the death of the whole village.

With so many lives on her back, even if she dodges, will she still live in this mountain for the rest of her life?

"Auntie......"

Xiaobao still cried loudly.

Shen Qingci sighed, and then she wiped Xiaobao's face with her sleeve, and then hugged Xiaobao.

It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, maybe it's not what she thinks, it's just that she thinks too much.

When she carried Xiaobao to the bottom of the mountain, she couldn't help but hold Xiaobao in her arms with both hands.

There were officers and soldiers from the village, and a cold sweat broke out in her palms, and she couldn't help lowering her head, her feet were also heavy, and she couldn't take any steps?

She looked back at the entrance of the village, where there were already many officers and soldiers standing at this time, and every villager had a sad look on their faces.

Shen Qingci couldn't help but twist his brows slightly, as if these officers and soldiers were not looking for her.

She hurriedly hugged Xiaobao and went to the fifth uncle's house, and at this time, the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt were standing at the door, and the fifth aunt was crying from time to time.

"Where has our little treasure gone?" The fifth aunt really wants to find Xiaobao now, but those officers and soldiers are blocking the outside and won't let them go at all, Xiaobao is her lifeline, if something really happens to Xiaobao, then she won't live.

"He went to find Xiaoya."

The fifth uncle was also worried about Xiaobao, but he already knew that Xiaobao must have gone to Shen Qing to resign.

"What are you looking for her?"

The fifth aunt was reluctant to mention that person, and when she mentioned it, her heart was like a breath of gas.

"Don't look for her, look for your Junlan?"

Wu Zheng asked the fifth aunt rhetorically, husband and wife are still unable to share weal and woe, let alone a cousin who is a cousin of three thousand miles.

The fifth aunt was also choked, and her face was extremely ugly.

Junlan, Junlan, and when it comes to Junlan's name, the fifth aunt wants to hate to crush her teeth and bite it pain.

She drove away a demon, but she brought a white-eyed wolf to the family, and that Junlan actually stole her silver, a full three hundred taels, just when she wanted to get the silver back, but it was a disaster.

The officers and soldiers also entered the village and didn't let them go, Xiaobao was lost, Junlan couldn't catch up, and the silver was also taken away, so much silver, it was really digging out her heart, digging up her liver, and killing her.

"Xiaobao ......" just when the fifth aunt was about to dig out her heart and liver, she heard the voice of the fifth uncle.

When she raised her eyes, she saw Shen Qingci walking over with Xiaobao in her arms.

And the officers and soldiers naturally saw them.

"You're from this family?"

The officers and soldiers asked Shen Qingci.

Shen Qingci stood there without moving, and the fifth uncle hurriedly walked over and explained.

"Official, she is my distant niece, who came to join us, we have no children and no daughters, and we originally wanted to succeed," he shook his head at Shen Qingci, meaning to ask her not to say anything.

After all, Shen Qingci was picked up by him, what kind of identity was this before, he didn't know, these officers and soldiers were not easy to mess with, he was just afraid, what if these officers and soldiers charged them with something, then what should they do?

"That's your family."

It doesn't matter if it's a daughter or a niece, or a stepdaughter, as long as it's a family.

The official swiped it by adding one to a roster, and there was no name, so he directly wrote a stepdaughter, which is considered an extra person.

"He Wu, now at the request of the imperial court, your He family must send one person, both male and female, you can decide for yourself."

Shen Qingci didn't understand, what to do when he sent someone, who to send?

"Official, can you discuss it with us?"

The fifth uncle smiled at the official, and then took advantage of no one to stuff something into the official's hand, and the official knew what it was when he pinched it?

The official also quietly put away the silver, "Cheng, I'll give you half a day to discuss, and I'll pick up someone after a while." ”

The fifth uncle bowed his head and sent the official away, but the official did not leave, but went to the next house, and the whole village seemed to be shrouded in a very strange and frightening atmosphere.

It seems that the cries of the people in the village can still be heard, one after another, one after another, and nothing like this has ever happened in the territory of Dazhou.

It's possible that this is a conscription, but even if it is a conscription, the fifth uncle's current age is not suitable for joining the army, even if the fifth uncle is forced to go, but no matter where it is, he can be exempted from conscription with silver.

The fifth uncle didn't have no silver, even if he gave Shen Qingci five hundred taels of silver, but didn't he still have five or six hundred taels, wouldn't he use the silver to buy his life?

"Let's go inside."

The fifth uncle wiped his face and opened the door, Shen Qingci just nodded with the fifth uncle, but for the fifth aunt, it was a superfluous look, and he never gave her a point.

The fifth uncle took Xiaobao from Shen Qingci's arms, and at this time, Xiaobao was already asleep on her shoulder, and her body was dirty, this poor little appearance also made the fifth uncle very distressed, but now he has no time to care about him.

Shen Qingci sat down, just wanting to know, what are these people going to do?

"Actually, I never asked where you came from?"

The fifth uncle smiled, but this smile was a little bitter, "It's just that it doesn't matter where it is, I know that you are a good boy and will not hurt anyone." ”

Shen Qingci clenched his fingers on his lap lightly.

Then she stretched out her finger and dipped some water in the cup while writing on the table.

"What's wrong?"

No one knew that she was literate, and neither did the fifth uncle.

In fact, the current Shen Qingci doesn't talk about writing, even if she can speak, the fifth uncle won't feel anything strange?

"Alas......" The fifth uncle sighed, Cang Tao is famous for iron melting, but this iron melting technique is not easy to practice, and this time I don't know what the imperial court is for, it actually needs a lot of pig iron, so let's go to be strong men.

Shen Qingci's eyes moved slightly, but he did not interrupt the fifth uncle.

"The imperial court asked one person from every household in my village to practice iron, and the ...... to practice iron," he said, and it was difficult to hide the sound of choking.

"This iron-melting technique is not as good as striking iron, and iron-striking can still go home, but those who melted iron in the past, if they go in, they can't come back."

Can't, it's back?

Shen Qingci didn't understand, what did this mean, died there?

Fifth Uncle understands what she is thinking?

"Even if we don't die there, it's impossible for us to come back, I'm afraid that the art of melting iron will be spread out, every time it's like this, the wife can't see her husband, the husband can't return home, the son can't see the biological father, although it's not death, but it's life and separation, so no one wants to go, and if you go, you can't come back."

And what is the difference between life and death?
