() Gu Lin turned around to go to La Xia Ting, but was vigorously thrown away by her. Gu Lin simply strode forward and grabbed her, but he didn't care about her small fights in his arms.

"You know I didn't mean that." Gu Lin frowned, a little helpless.

He had always been silent, and she couldn't help it when she was messing around, he knew that Xia Ting was deliberately misinterpreting his meaning.

"Let go."

"Don't let go. You know what I mean. Gu Lin's eyes were a little stubborn, like a stubborn child who wanted to be recognized.

After such a fuss, Xia Ting's temper was gone. Gasping for breath in his arms, he didn't speak.

I have to say that sometimes Gu Lin can really cure her, calm her down, and not annoy him later.

"Okay, I'm calm." Xia Ting struggled for a moment, signaling that he could let go. lest when the second brother comes back, it will be even more uncomfortable to see their intimate appearance.

"Don't let go."

Well??? Xia Ting's black question mark, looking up with a puzzled face, and seeing Gu Lin's childish side rarely, Xia Ting hurriedly lowered his head to hide his smile, comforting him like a child: "Okay." I know, but don't say anything like that again, you know I don't want to hear it. ”

I really don't want to go to the second brother in my heart, but I still can't force it when it comes to feelings.

"Ahh

Xia Ting suddenly rose into the air, and she was carried back to the bedroom by Princess Gu Lin, the undoubted kind.

"Don't make a fuss." I wanted to resist, but thinking that the second brother was still outside, I could only settle down silently and let Gu Lin carry her back.

When Xia Ting got up the next day, Gu was no longer there, and it was said that he drove back to the village early in the morning.

It's early...... Xia Ting was stunned.

Maybe it was the incident last night that made everyone a little embarrassed, but now it is not too embarrassing to avoid everyone meeting.

"Hey, go to the gate of town, there's new news!" Suddenly, all the customers in the store put down their food and went to the west of the city.

Xia Ting hadn't been here long ago, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Eh, big brother, let me know what's going on?"

The man who was pulled by Xia Ting was a little impatient, "It must be either a tax or a matter of forced labor." After saying that, he hurriedly followed the large army.

Taxes? Corvee?

This was a very important thing in ancient times. Xia Ting hurriedly walked into the backyard and said, "Big brother, big brother! Something big is wrong! ”

After Xia Ting and Gu Lin closed the door of the store slightly, they also surrounded them.

Xia Ting is petite, there are extremely many people, more than the usual downtown area, she can't squeeze in at all, and Gu Lin, his height can be said to crush everyone, he is a head taller in the crowd, and he can see the announcement from afar. Xia Ting couldn't squeeze in, not to mention, all he was looking at was people, and there were all kinds of sweat smells. Xia Ting couldn't stand it and buried his head in Gu Lin's arms, still smelling the fresh soaphorn smell on his body and feeling more comfortable.

Gu Lin saw his little wife turn her head and bury her head in his arms, and suddenly had a bad taste, he lowered his head and whispered in Xia Ting's ear: "Do you want to pick you up?" Then he made a gesture to pick her up.

"Oops, oops~" Xia Ting hurriedly pushed back, his face flushed, "Don't make trouble~ The court is public." ”

"Hehehehehe......"

Xia Ting regretted it, she thought Gu Lin was the kind of stable person, and after getting along, she found that he was a big child. Usually this kind of character is suppressed by him, since the two

After the personal relationship got closer, Xia Ting was poisoned by him a lot these days.

Sure enough, people say that a more stable and mature man is a big child in front of his lovers.

"What's written on that?"

The people next to her all said everything, but Xia Ting didn't hear it clearly, she looked up and saw Gu Lin looking carefully, and couldn't help asking.

"This year, the tax has been reduced. However," Gu Lin frowned, and felt relaxed that the taxes had not been lightened, "These months, people within a radius of hundreds of miles have to participate in conscription. Every household has to send a man to dig the mountain. ”

Gu Lin looked at it again, and after making sure that no information was missing, he escorted Xia Ting out of the crowd.

And then the rest of the matter, hoarding there will not help, at most complaining.

Xia Ting's mood also became heavy. Even if she didn't experience it herself, she knew from the history books that the ancient conscription was not simple. Minute dead thing. Some people, even once they go to conscription, they will go for a lifetime, and their life and death are unknown.

Moreover, they went to dig the mountain this time, and they didn't know why. At this time, the technology is so backward that casualties are inevitable. And if you want to escape from forced labor, it is also impossible, basically, to escape is to die.

Every household must have one person. They have two brothers in the Gu family, and they have to go out one. Gu Lin is the eldest brother, with his character, if there is no accident, he must be on it.

Xia Ting held Gu Lin's hand tightly, and the willful words of "don't go" in his heart could not be said, because either he left, or the second brother left. Whoever goes, it's not what she wants.

The time for conscription is near, and they will begin to prepare things for the departing man on these days.

"Let's go back and close the door for a while, anyway, as soon as this happens, many people don't have the heart to come out to eat." Gu Lin said slowly. As soon as the news came out, he wanted to take responsibility and took it himself. Considering Xia Ting's thoughts, he never said anything about it.

Suddenly, Xia Ting thought of something, and his spirit became excited again: "Well, good~"

They have made a lot of money during this time, and they can also rest more at this time.

Xia Ting simply packed a few clothes, took the silver ticket and walked away. The only small package Gu Lin carried on his back, Xia Ting was relaxed, and he carried the pastries he had just bought in Dexing Building.

When he walked out of the door, Gu Lin suddenly said, "Do you want to say hello to Brother Qiu?" ”

Xia Ting didn't turn her head back, she took the lead in the front, and her words came from behind her ears: "Why bother? It's not that he won't come back. "Besides, if nothing else, they're just partners. There is only a relationship of interest.

Feng You looked at the flow of people below, then looked at the list in his hand, pointed to one place, and said, "Here, it's all arranged for me." ”

Gu Lin looked upstairs in Dexing, and in the private room, it seemed to be ...... I vaguely saw a figure passing by.

Halfway through, Xia Ting suddenly remembered that Su Feng was also in the town, but their private school was very remote and did not accept outsiders on weekdays, so they rarely met. I don't know if this conscription is for him?

"Big brother, should we tell Ah Bong about this?"

Gu Lin thought for a while and shook his head, "No need." Don't bother him. The fewer people know about Ah Feng, the better, and the more men there are, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing. ”

Xia Ting nodded in agreement. Indeed, sometimes, when there are more men, there may be more people who will be driven into forced labor

There is no such thing as fairness.

If you can keep a person away from strife and mundane as much as possible, don't pull people in.

By the time Xia Ting and the others returned to the village, the village chief was already talking about it from house to house. Just came to their house.

"Big baby, it's just right for you to come back. Come on, let's go in and say. The village chief had a serious face and couldn't see much of a smile.

"Auntie, my eldest brother and I are back!" No matter what happens later, they have to be happy when they are back.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw the eldest lady coming out of the kitchen, and her face was uncontrollable joy and joy, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back." ”

Seeing that the village chief was also coming, the eldest lady bent down and bowed slightly, and then turned to pour tea.

Gu Wensheng came over from the backyard, and looking at the fresh, verdant vegetables in his hand, he knew what he had just done. Seeing Xia Ting and them coming back, a shallow mark crossed Gu Indifferent's eyes.

"I'm back." The village chief and the others all walked in front, and Xia Ting walked behind because he helped the eldest lady get tea, just following Gu.

I thought it would be embarrassing, but seeing Gu's calm tone, she suddenly felt as if it was nothing.

It's like...... Back to when I first met, a faint detachment and a gentle attention.

"Well, something happened, come back and prepare."

Similarly, Xia Ting replied in the same tone.

The two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, and without any more words, they walked straight to the door.

"Dawa just came back from town, so she should know what's going on."

Gu Lin nodded, "Then this matter of conscription, the situation of our family, there should only be one person, right?" ”

"Conscription? Why is this year so sudden? ”

In the past, there were early warnings, but this time it was so sudden, and the aunt felt uneasy in vain.

"Eh, Fourth Sister-in-law Gu, don't be afraid. It's just a general conscription, but this year it may be that the messenger encountered a natural disaster on the way or something, which made this time a little sudden. The village chief was relieved to see that his old man's daughter-in-law was so worried.

In a blink of an eye, when he looked at Gu Lin, there was some sorrow in his eyes: "It stands to reason that every family has a man, but your Gu family, isn't there still a person in that house, Gu's son is not old enough to be a strong man, so this head will also come out on your side." Here's the indication above. ”

Xia Ting was the first to come out and didn't do it: "What do they have to do with us?" We've split up a long time ago, haven't we? Or did it take place under the witness of you, the village chief, why are there not enough men on their side at this time to count us on our heads? Gu Bu is also a strong man? ”

Xia Ting's heart was pounding.

If the eldest brother and the second brother are forced to go to forced labor, she and the eldest mother will be left in the family. In this era, there is no man at home, and it is easy to have accidents.

"Oh, your daughter-in-law is also an anxious haha, I also think it's strange, but I can't help it. That's the list above. The village chief was afraid that they would not believe it, so he specially showed them the list of the two brothers.

Xia Ting closed his eyes fiercely.

In this case, isn't there no way out? There's no way to reason with the village chief, he didn't decide this, he was just a messenger.

After sending off the village chief, the four people in the family were quiet, and the eldest mother was silently crying.
