Chapter 109: Help
"Conscription?"
Wang Lin was stunned, the word conscription had not been heard for a long time. In Wang Lin's memory, because the Lower Heaven Realm had gradually evolved into something similar to the Upper Heaven Realm, the battles between many dynasties no longer pinned their hopes on battles between ordinary people, but turned into an army of cultivators.
Therefore, the dynasty will regularly recruit from some sects, families, or people cultivated within itself. Even in the later stage of development, talents will be selected within the ordinary military camp, and after being absorbed into the camp, they must at least reach the melting realm before they will be released to fight.
This kind of large-scale conscription among ordinary village chiefs across the country is rare.
Thinking of this, Wang Lin said: "Little boy, take me to see what is going on, how about it?" ”
The child nodded, and then the two children took Wang Lin to the farmer's house where the quarrel had occurred.
At this time, several soldiers-like people were standing at the door, smashing things in the courtyard of the grass hut. The peasant woman, who wanted to stop it but didn't dare to stop it, suddenly knelt down, and her face was full of sorrow, and she cried out:
"Official, just spare me! Our small village, in just one year, has already been conscripted three times! However, isn't it said now that there is no need for ordinary people to fight? ”
The soldier smiled coldly: "It's true that you don't need to fight, but you still need to be responsible for logistics!" Now is the critical moment when our dynasty and the enemy are at war, and the emperor has ordered that no matter what, the number must be gathered! ”
"But...... The man in our family went to the barracks half a year ago, and there has been no news so far, and he doesn't even know if he is dead or alive! There are no adult men in our family! The peasant woman said with a weeping face.
The soldier suddenly showed a hint of hideousness: "Since there are no adult men, children can do too!" ”
As he spoke, the soldier kicked the peasant woman away, and the room swirled with a young cry. Moments later, a child was grabbed by soldiers. The boy struggled desperately, but how could he be the opponent of the soldiers!
At this point, the soldier grabbed the boy and prepared to leave.
"No!" The peasant woman hugged the soldier's calf and cried and begged: "Official, you can't! This is my child! If he doesn't have him anymore, I won't be able to live at all! ”
"Humph! I don't care about you! The soldier kicked the peasant woman to the ground, and then said coldly: "If you don't recruit enough people, all of you will die!" ”
"Wait." Wang Lin really couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly stepped forward with a serious face: "Two, this little boy has a yellow face and thin muscles, and he is not a cultivator, and he is just a cannon fodder who acts as a human head when he is brought to the battlefield." But this child is the only hope left for this family. Don't you feel a little ruthless in what you do? ”
"Ruthless?" The soldier suddenly turned around: "Where did you come from, boy, you are not from this village, and you dare to meddle with our affairs?" Get out of the way, or die! ”
The two soldiers showed their cultivation at the same time.
Seeing this, Wang Lin raised his eyebrows, and the melting realm was small?
Thinking of this, Wang Lin said: "Although the state has national laws, but recruiting these people does not need them to fight, but those who go will not be able to come back alive." Then there are only two possibilities. ”
"First, they were sent to a special department. It could be experimenting with a new weapon, or it could be acting as a dead soldier. ”
"Second, it is that people with certain special exercises need to fill in with their lives to increase their cultivation!"
"In this way, the true meaning of conscription is lost! Don't you feel sorry for the abuse? ”
The two soldiers immediately threw the boy out casually, and everyone was caught off guard by this hand. The boy screamed miserably, his forehead hit the stone on the ground, and in an instant, blood splattered, and he was no longer breathing!
"Nope! Baby! ”
The peasant woman crawled over like a collapse, holding the child's body firmly in her arms, crying and breaking her liver and intestines.
When Wang Lin saw this scene, he was furious, and the feather fan in his hand immediately unfolded: "Yin and poisonous people should return to yin!" ”
"Hmph, die!"
In an instant, a battle broke out between the two soldiers and Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't even summon his weapon. The two soldiers pulled out the long swords on their waists one after another and stabbed at Wang Lin in an instant, but they saw Wang Linyu's fan flipping, and the seemingly gentle fan directly blocked the long swords of the two soldiers.
"Huh?" The faces of the two soldiers changed, as if they didn't expect Wang Lin to accept it so easily!
"You, you're also a cultivator!" The soldier asked.
"Yes or no, it has nothing to do with you!" A cold light flashed in Wang Lin's eyes: "The battle between cultivators, life and death, is not resentful, and at most the skills are not as good as others. But there is a consensus, that is, it does not harm ordinary people. You have broken your vows! ”
In an instant, the sword qi of the talisman exploded, but I saw the jade fan flying in an instant, a sword and a sword, and two rays of light flew out of the air! In an instant, the body of two soldiers was pierced!
Under two terrible howls, the soldiers fell in pools of blood.
"Army, the army will not let you go!"
The threatening words fell, and the two of them lost their breath anymore.
"Ahh
"Murder!"
For a moment, the villagers who were quietly watching around let out a terrible scream.
Wang Lin frowned, but saw that not far away, an old man slowly walked over.
Wang Lin just wanted to speak, but saw that the old man had a hint of blame: "Stranger, who are you!" Why meddle in the affairs of our village! ”
Wang Lin frowned: "Uncle, didn't you see the situation just now?" A child was killed by these two people like this, do you still want to endure this kind of thing? ”
"What can I do if I can't bear this kind of thing!" The old man did not have the slightest hint of gratitude in his eyes, but rebuked: "You killed them, it seems that you saved us, but in fact? Wait until the nearby barracks didn't see these two soldiers go back! You'll definitely come to us! When the time comes, when the time comes, we will be a village, and no one will be able to escape! ”
Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then there was a trace of anger in his eyebrows: "Could it be that because of this reason, no matter what grievances you receive, you will accept all the orders?" ”
The old village chief smiled coldly: "Otherwise? This world is already like this! You saved us! But it also harms us! ! We don't need you to meddle in the affairs of our village! ”
For a while, even the surrounding villagers came out one after another and began to reprimand Wang Lin for his meddling.
Wang Lin looked at the peasant woman who had lost her child, but saw that the peasant woman lowered her head and didn't seem to want to say anything.
Seeing this, Wang Lin showed a hint of disappointment in his eyes, he didn't want the other party to speak for him. He just felt a little sad, that is, these people were obviously the most ruthless group of people who were exploited, but they were completely used to it. Not only are they used to it, but they are also looking for a place to be comfortable in such a harsh environment.
If anyone breaks this comfort, even if it is to help them, they will attack them in groups.
Thinking of this, Wang Lin shook his head, closed the jade fan, and turned around and left the village.
On the way, Wang Lin thought about it, but he was still a little uneasy. Thinking that if someone from the village came again, if he didn't come forward in this matter, the people in the village would definitely not be able to tell. When the time comes, I am afraid that more children will be forced to join the army.
Thinking like this, Wang Lin turned back to the small hillside not far from the small village, and simply stayed there first.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps.
Wang Lin turned to look, but it was the two children who had led him before.
The two children each held a small flower in their hands.
They raised their little hands and immediately handed the flowers to Wang Lin.
"Big brother, this is for you!"
Wang Lin smiled dumbly, took the flowers from the two, and subconsciously asked, "You don't blame me?" ”
One of the children shook his head: "No, the big brother did the right thing, those people are so hateful. ”
Another little boy also said angrily: "Big brother killed right! Such people will only harm the people in our village more and more! ”
Wang Lin gently patted the second child's head: "Children don't keep talking about fighting and killing, it's not good." ”
"Big brother, why are you staying here?" The first child asked curiously, blinking.
"This matter, after all, the eldest brother is meddling, if you really leave without caring about anything now, those elders in your village will not be able to say clearly. So, I'm going to take another look here. If any more soldiers come, you can come and let me know, and I'll negotiate with them. Wang Lin said with a smile.
The two children nodded, and immediately played around Wang Lin for a while, and then they all went home.
In this way, Wang Lin stayed on the hillside for three days.
On this day, Wang Lin had just finished resting, and was thinking about going to the top of the hillside to see if there was anything wrong with the village, but he didn't expect that it was the crying of two children!
"Big brother, help!"
The mournful cry made Wang Lin change color. He lifted his breath and immediately rushed to the two children, and as soon as the jade fan opened, it blocked the long sword of the soldier who was playing cat and mouse.
