Li Yuyuan lowered his eyelids, and a thick sadness surged into his heart before.

She really figured it out, she and Xiao Bi are not the same kind of people, she can't support Xiao Bi, and she will stand on his opposite side as a matter of course.

She changed her mind and loved him, but she couldn't be with her.

Li Yuyuan turned around, and at this time, there was a muttering voice beside him: "Lady, where are you pancakes?" ”

Li Yuan: "......"

The two maidservants accompanied her, and both slept with her on the same kang, and Cherry was by her side, and she woke her up.

Li Yu said from afar: "You sleep, I'm going to find Xiao Bao." ”

Go to Xiao Mian and make it clear, she has thought about it, their affairs don't have to drag on anymore, their goals are different, and they will be separated sooner or later, so let's break up tonight.

Li Yuyuan put on his shoes, and he heard a knock at the door, and the sound could be transmitted to the house through the wall, and he was very impatient.

Both cherry and peach sat up.

Li Yu looked at the two of them from afar: "It's so late, who is it?" ”

Cherry said: "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, go out and have a look." ”

Li Yuyuan listened again, the door seemed to be open, and there was definitely more than one person coming in.

She looked at Cherry: "Don't be reckless, go to Xiao Cover, and see who is still disturbing people so late." ”

Cherry nodded yes.

Peaches went down to the ground and lit the candle, and just as Cherry walked to the door, a familiar call came from there: "Ah, are you awake?" ”

It was Lang Jun's voice, and Cherry hurriedly opened the door.

Xiao Shu came in with a cloak, bringing a gust of cold wind, Li Yuyuan shuddered, stood up and said, "What's going on outside?" ”

Xiao covered and said: "It was the local officials who came to recruit soldiers, don't be afraid." ”

Li Yuyuan looked surprised: "You still come to recruit soldiers so late?" Is it really a conscription or an impostor of bad guys? ”

Xiao Mian walked up to her and took her hand: "Don't be afraid, we are all guarding in secret, I have been to see it, and it is indeed the government that recruits soldiers." ”

Conscription at night, where are the soldiers? What a shortage of people.

Li Yuyuan turned around and called Peaches: "Bring my cloak, I'll take a look." ”

Li Yuyuan got dressed, Xiao Miao led her out of the door, the door of the main house was half-hidden, and there was a bright light outside the door.

When Xiao Cover arrived at the door, he lay down in the crack of the door and looked out, without going out, Li Yuyuan followed his example and lay behind Xiao Cover.

Outside the crack in the half-man-wide door, the cold wind and the untidy leggings that stood there came in from the outside.

There were more than a dozen officials who tied their legs, and the courtyard was very large, and they stood very casually, carrying big shoulders, and looking arrogant, filling the courtyard with a big face.

Li Yu saw that the old woman who cooked noodles for her was standing in front of the little official headed by her, her voice trembling and begging bitterly: "Sir, there is really no one left. ”

The little official said sharply: "There was a pop under the wall just now, did someone run away?" ”

The woman was busy: "Sir, the concubine has a total of three sons, all of them have been conscripted to fight, they were assigned to the border pass, the eldest and the third were killed by the invading Tubo two months ago, the second child just wrote a letter to inform this matter, the only strong man in the family is my poor little daughter-in-law, because she gave birth to a nursing child, so she did not go, because the family is thin, my daughter-in-law does not have a decent dress when she goes out, there is really no one in the family, otherwise the chief will take the concubine away, although the concubine is older, But I can still cook and wash, and I beg the chief not to take my daughter-in-law away, otherwise the little grandson will have no one to take with him. ”

The junior official muttered a few words to the person next to him, and then looked at the old woman, and his voice was fierce: "Lie, there is no one in your house, why are the lights in the main room and the side room on, you have three sons who have been conscripted, yes, but the official inspection says that there is still a fifty-year-old man in your family, let the old thief come out, don't delay the grandfathers." ”

After saying that those officials were going to search, Li Yuyuan was so angry that he trembled, two sons had died, and one son was in service, so it was no wonder that there were so few people in the family, but the only strong laborer fifty-year-old man refused to let go?

As soon as she was about to open the door, she heard the woman crying: "The chief heard from the concubine that the noble lady of Fan Yanglai lives in the main room, and the learned official in the side room is there, and there is really no one else in the family." ”

The official was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said proudly: "Honorable lady? Scholar? ”

The woman nodded busily.

The little official glanced at the courtyard, and the lights in the main house were obviously brighter than those in other rooms, and at first glance it was not an oil lamp, it was very likely that it was a little lady from a big family.

They are here to arrest the conscripts, and it is not good to offend people.

The little official looked at the woman and said, "Okay, you can come with us." ”

The woman's two lines of tears suddenly crawled all over the old face of the "ravine", and her voice choked up: "Sir, let the concubine go and explain to her daughter-in-law and grandson." ”

The little official raised his voice: "What do you explain?" Everyone is dead, what else is there to explain, don't delay the grandfathers, go quickly. ”

The woman said nothing, wiped her eyes with her patched cuffs, and walked forward under the push of the servant.

Seeing that they were about to go out of the door, Li Yuyuan's eyes were red, and her heart swelled with monstrous anger, she wanted to open the door to chase her, but at this time, Xiao Shu grabbed her with one hand.

Li Yuyuan looked at Xiao Wei with indignant eyes: "Aren't you the most sympathetic to the people's suffering? This mother-in-law is still making noodles for me, if she leaves like this, nine times out of ten she will die, haven't you heard that she has two sons dead? I'm going to get her back. ”

Xiao Bao said: "You saved her, the government is not recruiting enough, and it will arrest other people, that is, the life and death of other families, can you save it?" ”

Li Yuyuan's tears welled up instantly, and he looked at Xiao Wei blankly.

Xiao covered and said: "You can't save anyone, and you can't save it, serving as a conscription is a matter stipulated by the government, and the policy is like this, who can you get?" ”

Li Yu said from afar: "But just watch others die?"

She was stunned for a moment, because at this moment, her voice became hoarse.

Xiao Mian looked at her with a smile that seemed to be smiling, and then sighed: "Ah Xuan, you can only watch your mother-in-law die, because this is what you see, and there are many things you can't see, they all died quietly, and their deaths were worthless, they used all the hardships of their lives in exchange for the enlightened and prosperous era written by civil officials in the history books, this is what you see, so you can only watch them die, and you can't save anyone." ”

Li Yuyuan was in a trance, and when she came back to her senses, she punched Xiao Bi in the chest, and then ran back to the room crying.

The official departed, the woman never appeared again, the courtyard fell silent, and the howling cold wind sounded like a woman's whimper, crying about the misfortunes of her life.

Li Zhen sat on the kang and listened to the wind, and didn't sleep all night, until the fish belly was white, Xiao Shu knocked on the door and called her: "Ah Yu, we are about to leave." ”
