Liu Taixian thought that he had forty or fifty paddy fields at home, and lived a life without food and clothing, and being a soldier was the ideal that those mud-legged and poor people dreamed of, and it didn't matter if he never joined the army.

"Taehyun, you're not right. Without these soldiers guarding the territory day and night, where would we live and work in peace and contentment, and where would we come to our homeland? Only when there is a country can there be a home, the rise and fall of the world, the husband is responsible, don't you understand these simple truths? The patriarch said with a straight face.

"Patriarch, I also went to school, and the reasoning you said is outdated. The current Qinghe country is not the country of our Li people, but the country of the Fei Luo family, without the taxes and food we pay, the soldiers eat wool! Starve them! Liu Taixian said with half-closed eyes, "Father, fellow villagers, do you think what I said is right?"

Most of those villagers were young descendants who didn't know the height of the sky, and they hadn't read any books, and they agreed with Liu Taixian's words one after another, and shouted out one by one.

"Yes, yes. Qinghe is going to be finished, what army are we going to follow? ”

"No matter who becomes the emperor, we ordinary people can't get real benefits, and we still have to farm and collect firewood. The Qinghe Kingdom will not perish, and it will not be perished, it will matter to us! ”

"The patriarch is the son of the Qinghe Kingdom, and he can get the money and grain provided by the county government every year, and he doesn't have to pay rent and taxes, he must speak for the court."

"Gong Laoxue is actually a gambler, just like Liu Laosan. Came to the stone courtyard to recruit soldiers, and asked us to be cannon fodder for him, to achieve his great things, and to think beautifully! ”

"What's so good about being a soldier, it's better to go to the hillside of the Niushi Bridge and lift a few bowls (guess the size) ......"

Feng Jiao'er listened to these gossips, and suddenly felt inexplicably sad: barbarians come out of the mountains, and people come out of the flatlands. These villagers don't want to be soldiers, even if they engage in personal attacks, they are so numb, so stupid, and there is no help. The people of this village in Stone Courtyard are the same as their village name, Rock Head! Wooden fish pimples!

The patriarch Liu Taixian was so angry by Liu Taixian that he couldn't speak for a long time, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "Young people have the thoughts of young people, don't do to others what you don't want to do to yourself......" He walked slowly to the village with a cane.

Gong Changyu rode forward, and wanted to drink and talk to the patriarch, but was stopped by Feng Jiao'er: "Changyu, don't embarrass the patriarch, let's go back to the Zhujia compound." ”

"Okay. Do you want to come with us? Gong Changyu asked.

"Of course I want to go." Feng Jiao'er smiled, "If you go back, who will prove that you went back to your hometown to recruit sergeants?" ”

"I didn't think much about it, but I was afraid that my aunt would spray me again and go to her house to eat." Gong Changyu said, "Before I joined the army, I lost a lot of money, and I was cursed by my aunt many times, I have a shadow in my heart." ”

"Didn't we bring the money, and we couldn't afford to pay for the food?"

"The money is used to recruit soldiers, and it is not to be used indiscriminately."

"When is the time, and what do you want to do so much?"

"Hmm. That's all there is to it. Gong Changyu turned his horse's head and prepared to go back to the pavilion to call Huang Qinggong and his party over.

"Gong Laoxue, don't you want to get away!" Liu Yinxi came up from the river with Liu Laosi in his arms, panting.

"Ha Bao cub, I'm not leaving, I'm going to your house for dinner?" Gong Changyu said with a glare.

"If you instigated Liu Yuntian to knock the two of us brothers into the river, you have to lose money." Liu Laosi raised his machete.

"You cannot live if you have done your own iniquity. You fall into the river, that's you! my! Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"Gong Laoxue, if you and Liu Yuntian injured us, you have to pay for the medical expenses, otherwise you don't want to pass through our village!" Liu Yinxi hugged his waist, and suddenly screamed "oops", "I have several broken ribs here, and it hurts me to death......"

"I'm in pain here, too, my foot is broken." Liu Laosi put down the machete in his hand, squatted down, and kept rubbing his ankles.

", you two don't pretend." Gong Changyu pulled out the revolver from his waist and hung the pistol upside down, "Do you want me to give each of you a peanut (bullet) to taste?" ”

"Gong Laoxue, you dare!" Liu Yinxi immediately stopped crying out of pain, picked up the machete on the ground, and stared at the gun in Gong Changyu's hand with both eyes, "As long as you shoot, I will let you die an ugly death." ”

"Don't be ashamed, is your knife fast, or my gun fast?" Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"Brothers, if you don't come over to help, Gong Laoxue is going to kill someone-" Liu Yinxi shouted at the dozens of descendants.

"Brother Yinxi, if you want to go first, you go first!" Liu Taixian shouted, "I'll go home for dinner." After saying that, he really strode away with his spear on his shoulder.

"Liu Taixian, you death-fearing ghost, come back to me-" Liu Yinxi shouted loudly.

Liu Taixian didn't look back, just waved his hand: "The patriarchs are gone, what are we doing here to be embarrassed!" ”

"Okay, you Liu Taixian, if there is anything going on in your family in the future, don't come to me!" Liu Yinxi jumped up and scolded, "Liu Taixian, you beast! ”

"Damn, you still scolded me for being an animal!" When Liu Taixian heard this, he folded it back again, shook the spear in his hand, and poked it at Liu Yinxi's Adam's apple, "If you have the ability, you can say another word......

"Brother Taixian, don't be impulsive." Liu Laosi hurriedly stepped forward to persuade Liu Taixian.

"Mother Xipi, plant my family's field, my father only charges you the most rent, gives you shame, and scolds me for livestock, don't you want to live! A white-eyed wolf! Liu Taixian tightened his spear again.

Liu Yinxi saw that he was really angry, and he drooped his head, not daring to speak.

"Liu Yinxi, if it weren't for the fact that your grandfather and my grandfather were brothers, I really wanted to stab you to death with a spear!" Liu Taixian gritted his teeth, "Every time you fight with Tangwei Chong, you are the first to rush ahead and run faster than anyone else, do you think you are very powerful!" ”

"Brother Taixian, can you spare me......" Liu Yinxi trembled all over.

"Zhu family compound is less, does the owner of the house give less relief to our stone courtyard every year? In order to fight for the water of the farmland, you fight with the people of Tangwei Chong every year and injure others, but it is not my father who says good things and loses money...... Hey, our Liu family has such an unfilial descendant as you! Liu Taixian put away his spear, "It's useless to mess with people like Liu Laosan and Liu Laosi who don't do their jobs!" ”

"Every time we win and lose money, you're not lying to us, are you?" Liu Laosi asked.

"What's the use of me lying to you. Last year, if you didn't wish the family compound a blessing, you people who fought and caused injuries would have gone to prison! Liu Taixian gave Liu Yinxi a slap in the face, "Today, I stopped the people of Zhujiafang from finding fault with pure heart, are you carrying a human head or a pig's head on your shoulders?" ”

"Liu Taixian, if you don't want to help us, forget it, just leave if you want!" Liu got up from the ground with one hand.

"Just go. Liu Laosan, you caused a disaster, your brothers have the ability to settle it themselves. Brothers and sisters, old and young masters, let's all disperse and go back to our respective homes. Liu Taixian said to the crowd of onlookers.

As soon as the words fell, the onlookers dispersed in twos and threes. Only Liu Yishou, Liu Laosi, and Liu Yinxi were still holding on there, and of course there was a tenant farmer Liu Yuntian who was waiting for silver.

Liu Yishou saw that Gong Changyu was five big and three thick, and he was no longer the hairy guy who had been cheated of money by him many times, and if he wanted to fight, their brothers would go into battle together, and it was not enough to stuff their teeth.

But he was unwilling to walk in a gray way, Liu Yi pointed at Gong Changyu, and retreated as he walked: "Gong Laoxue, you remember, tomorrow I will go to Wuyou City to find my brother Erlaizi, and I will definitely beat you all over the ground to find teeth!" ”

"Which two laizi?" Gong Changyu asked.

"Erlaizi of Baishui Village, your own family." Liu replied with one hand.

", it's him. I cut off one of his wrists many years ago, and I was not afraid, but am I still afraid of him today? Gong Changyu pressed the sword and said.

"Er Laizi has more than 20 muskets under his command, and the county order of Wuyou City has to give him three points." Liu Yishou began to get nervous again, "Gong Laoxue, are you afraid?" ”

"Is twenty muskets a lot? General Ben has it too. Gong Changyu said contemptuously, and then shouted at Liu Yuntian, "Brother Yuntian...... You come here. ”

"If you don't give me the money, what do you tell me to do?" Liu Yuntian asked.

"Give, of course." Gong Changyu nodded, he was convinced of Liu Yuntian, "You go to the pavilion and call all the people there, and the money will be there." Let Liu Laosan see what a real musket is. ”

"Okay. You can't be laipi, Gong Laoxue. Liu Yuntian said with a smile.

"When General Ben gambled and guessed the size of the Niushi Bridge, he lost miserably, and he never paid his bills, do you still care about your twenty taels of silver?" Gong Changyu smiled.

"Gong Laoxue, I know that you are a ruthless character, and you never owe money to others when gambling. Just for your words, I'll immediately call the person you went to over there. Liu Yuntian tugged at the corners of his crumpled clothes, and then ran to the gazebo.

Liu Yuntian arrived at the pavilion, and when he saw Ran Jiufeng, he couldn't help but be stunned: "There is a beauty there on the stone arch bridge, and there is an identical beauty here, I didn't look dazzled, right?" ”

But he soon understood: "It must be a twin sister, it must be." ”

"Hey, brother, what are you staring at us?" Hei Dashuai was very surprised when he saw Liu Yuntian talking to himself.

"Nothing. Brothers and sisters, Gong Laoxue will let you go over for a while. Liu Yuntian said with a smile.

"Why didn't he come by himself?" Hei Dashuai asked.

"He's not available." Liu Yuntian said, "He was unable to get out of the stone arch bridge, and said that I should come over and get the silver." ”

"When did our general owe you money?" Ran Jiufeng asked.

"I threw Liu Laosan into the river, and Gong Laoxue specially rewarded him." Liu Yuntian saw a few bulging sacks on the grain cart, "Brother, is this bag filled with rice or silver?" ”
