Next Chapter

In the distance, the green mountains are stacked and green, the mountain fog is hazy, and the insects and birds are singing, bringing a trace of fireworks to the mountains like a fairyland on earth.

A winding sheep intestine path leads straight down the mountain, looking from afar, the thatched houses stand quietly, the breeze is gentle, and the old locust trees at the entrance of the village rustle.

In the picturesque small village, there is a depressing and dull atmosphere, and gradually, more and more people gather under the old locust tree, and everyone looks sad and reluctant.

At this moment, several small black dots came from far and near, and the sound of horses' hooves came, and several officials dressed in black round-necked shirts and wearing cross-legged hats galloped towards them.

A moment later, they came to the villagers, and several of them turned over and dismounted neatly, and the leader was holding the official document of the government in his hand, and the blood-red marks on it were unusually blind.

Even if the villagers were illiterate, their hearts trembled involuntarily when they saw the bright stamp.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a navy blue cardigan cotton shirt stepped forward quickly, and said with a smile on his face: "Several officials have worked hard all the way, I am Wang Fuchun, the village chief of Jinshan Village, this is the heart of the people in our village, buy some tea and drink." ”

As he spoke, he handed over a coarse cloth purse.

The official headed by him kept two mustaches, his eyes casually swept over his purse, and he took it and weighed it, and the impatient look on his face eased.

"Being conscripted is to serve the country, and it is a glorious good thing, don't be sad one by one, this official is not easy to deal with!"

It turned out that this year, when it was time for the state to recruit soldiers, every household in the village had at least one strong man, and these officials came to bring people.

"Don't worry, my lord, we don't mean anything else, these young men in the village will bother you to take care of one or two."

Wang Fuchun, the village head, was respectful and flattering. There were five taels of silver in the purse just now, which was squeezed out between the teeth of the whole village, just to let the officials help and give a good place to the strong guys in the village, so that the chances of survival would be greater.

The eight-character Hu Ya servant snorted, didn't talk nonsense, and shouted loudly: "Okay, it's not too early, I have to drive the next village, let me give way, and the one behind will follow." ”

The young men in the team looked depressed, but they had to follow behind the official errand, turning back three times and reluctantly leaving.

The men, women and children of the village followed step by step and sent them away. I don't know when we'll see each other, and I don't know if I'll be able to come back alive.

The suppressed sobs of the women gradually came from behind them, and as the line got farther and farther away, the cries became louder and louder, and a few howled and cried, and the tears fell low into the soil as if they had broken the thread, splashing mud beads.

At this time, in a dim adobe house in Geumsan Village, there was a woman lying on the kang in the corner, her hair was messy, she was wearing a dark red floral jacket, the corners of her clothes were badly worn, and she wore loose clothes on her, and I don't know where to pick them up.

The woman's face was sallow, her eye sockets were deep, her limbs were slender, and she looked malnourished, but her long eyelashes were like fans, which added some color to this face.

Chu Yan felt her body drifting around, as if in a dream, until at a certain moment, a whirlpool of attraction swept in, and her body rushed forward uncontrollably.

After about half an hour, the chest of the motionless woman on Wang Jiakang floated slightly, and her fingers moved slightly.

Gradually adapting to the current state, moving her stiff limbs, Chu Yan slowly opened her eyes, there was a pungent musty smell between her noses, and the quilt on her body was hard without a trace of temperature.

Overhead, there was a black thatched roof, and a few bundles of thatch were about to fall off.

The adobe walls around it were plastered with a layer of yellow mud, and large chunks fell off, and the table in the corner was crumbling, as if it could fall down at any moment.

She sat up slowly, dizzy from long-term malnutrition, and when she came to her senses, she had an extra memory in her mind.

Chu Yan understood, she was unfortunate but lucky, and her soul was possessed by this girl named Liu Dani.

Unfortunately, she was a dignified architectural designer, but she went to the scene to inspect a slot, and was hit by a falling object from a high altitude, and she died.

Sorting out the memories of the original body, Chu Yan knew that the girl's name was Da Nier, who was called by everyone casually, lost her mother at a young age, and her father Liu Shugen soon married her stepmother, and she became a stepfather, and the original owner became a little pitiful, at the age of four or five, she carried a bamboo basket every day to beat pigweed, and then she was older to do housework, and when she was twelve or thirteen years old, she went down to work in the field and went up the mountain to chop wood, and was called as a man.

is still abused by his stepmother Yu every day, and he can't eat enough and don't have warm clothes.

At the age of eighteen, her stepmother Yu saw that she could work, and she was even more reluctant to get married, and staying at home was also a free laborer.

If it weren't for this imperial court conscription, Liu Dani would still be a cow and a horse in the Liu family.

If it is as expected, Chu Yan is now in the Wang family, and the ins and outs of the matter are like this.

Wang Laoshi, the old king of Jinshan Village, and his wife are old enough to have children, and they have such a lone seedling as Wang Dazhuang.

Because the second elder is old, his health is not very good, and the family is living a tight life, Wang Dazhuang dragged on until he was in his twenties, and he didn't say anything about his last daughter-in-law.

Coincidentally, this time Wang Dazhuang was conscripted, if there was a case, their old Wang family would be cut off.

There was no way, so I took out my life's savings and scraped them together, so I asked the matchmaker to say a kiss.

To put it bluntly, at this time, I said that I was pro, just to leave a queen for the Wang family.

Who in the neighborhood doesn't know the situation of the Wang family? If you marry in, you are a widow, whose daughter is not the meat that fell from her body? No one wants to marry into the royal family.

As soon as Liu Dani's stepmother Yu heard that the Wang family paid ten taels of silver, her eyes gurgled, it is not easy to make money in the countryside, how can Liu Dani do it, when can she earn back ten taels of silver? still eat and drink for nothing at home.

Yu happily responded to the Wang family's family affairs, accepted the money with a smile, and sent people over with a broken package.

Yesterday was the day when Wang Dazhuang and Liu Dani got married, and the Wang family spent ten taels of silver to buy Liu Dani and drained the family, so the wedding was not a big deal, only a few red happy words were pasted, and they became married.

Liu Dani was reluctant in her heart, even if she was abused, she still had a heart of longing for her future husband, instead of being sold like goods now.

I woke up early this morning, and my mind hit the wall.

can frighten the three members of the Wang family, and finally marry a daughter-in-law and come back, but don't leave it to the Wang family, and toss your life first.

After placing her on the kang, the gong in the village sounded, and the official messenger was about to come.

There was a scene under the old locust tree just now.

Chu Yan finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter, her mind was a mess, her body was weak, and she struggled to sit up.
