Chapter 42: Bad News
They hadn't gone far before they could hear the panicked voice behind them.
and the angry reprimand of the man in the official uniform, who killed the slave to vent his anger.
Su Buwei ran fast with Su Bujing in his arms, and the two oil-paper umbrellas when he came were held in Su Bujing's hands.
The two of them didn't even hold an umbrella, for fear that the people behind would catch up.
Su Bujing and Su Buwei's clothes were naturally wet.
But fortunately, they wore warm sachets all the time, and their bodies and limbs were still warm, and they didn't feel that cold.
Otherwise, today's rain and running wildly, wearing wet clothes, plus the weather is very cold, you will definitely catch a cold and fever!
The two returned home in a hurry, for fear that they would come back later than Su Yuanshan and be found to have gone out without permission.
Fortunately, Su Yuanshan has not returned.
Walking into the courtyard, I saw Su Buxian sitting in the hall, waiting for Su Bujing and Su Buwei to come back.
Su Bujing and Su Buwei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister! Second brother, you're finally back! Daddy hasn't come back, and you're not here, I'm so scared! ”
After Su Buwei comforted "Little brother, don't be afraid", he went to the kitchen to boil hot water.
He and his sister are in the rain today, no matter whether it is cold or not, they have to soak in hot water!
Otherwise, it will not be good for the moisture on the body to enter the body.
Su Bu pouted worriedly, and said aggrievedly: "Sister, I'll practice hard, take me with you next time!" ”
Su Bu touched his head in surprise, "Okay, you practice hard, when you are as tall as the second brother, I will take you with me!" ”
Su Bu worried: "Sister is not high, why can Sister go there?" ”
Su Bu was surprised: "Because it's the person that Sister found it!" ”
Su Buxian tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "Then when is Sister going to find that bad guy who cheated our family of six taels of silver!" ”
Su Buxing touched Su Buxing's head with relief, "Little brother is really smart!" But that person, Sister Ah doesn't know where it is. ”
Su Bu said disappointedly: "Then what should I do!" ”
Su Bu said softly: "Don't do it, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come." ”
"Maybe that person will appear in front of us later!"
Su Buxian nodded as if he didn't understand.
After Su Buwei boiled two pots of hot water, he and Su Bujing took a bath one after the other, changed into dry and soft clothes, drank a cup of hot ginger soup, and then sat down and took a breath.
Su Bujing waited until the candles burned out and the hall became dark, and they didn't wait for Su Yuanshan to come back.
At this time of day, their family is ready to go to bed.
Su Buwei frowned and said, "Why hasn't Daddy come back yet?" What's the matter with that prefectural order? ”
Su Bujing's face couldn't hide his worry: "I'll go to the gate of the county government to have a look!" ”
Su Buwei hurriedly said: "I'm with my sister!" Little brother, stay at home, we'll be back in a while! ”
Su Buxian: ......
Woo woo, why did he stay to watch the house again!
Su Bujing and Su Buwei put on their cloaks, held umbrellas, and hurried to the county office.
Because Su Bujing had wandered around Bai County before, he was very familiar with where the county government was.
The rain is still falling.
The dark clouds aggravated Su Bu's uneasy mood, and her pace couldn't help but speed up, and Su Buwei hurried to follow.
Before I arrived at the county office, I heard a stirring drum beat.
The sound of the drums seemed to have a magical power, deafening in the noisy sound of the rainstorm, and soared into the sky.
A middle-aged man stood on the steps of the yamen and shouted in a hissing voice:
"The people of Yuanzhou and Qizhou died tragically under the rebel knife, if it weren't for King Yu's bloody battle so far, he would have let the murderous rebels enter our Yongzhou a long time ago!"
"Now that the war in Qizhou is difficult, do we Yongzhou people have to sit idly by and wait for the rebels to bully and trample on us Yongzhou people?"
"Now the country needs us!"
"For the peace of Ruiguo, for the peace of Yongzhou, we are duty-bound! Sons, pick up the weapons in your hands and kill the enemy with King Yu! ”
The obedient people at the bottom of the stairs were all men.
At this time, they were so excited by the words of the people on the stage that their faces were red, their fists were boiling with blood, and they shouted with great momentum:
"Pacify the rebels! Raise the prestige of our country! ”
"Pacify the rebels! Raise the prestige of our country! ”
Su Buwei was so excited by this slogan that soared into the sky that he staggered, and Su Buwei behind him even almost bumped into Su Buxing.
"What's the matter, sister? Let's go! I seem to see Daddy! Su Buwei was puzzled and held Su Bushu.
Su Yuanshan was at the back of the crowd.
She stood in place in a daze, as if she had thought of something bad, grabbed Su Buwei, who wanted to step forward and shout, and said:
"Second brother... Let's go back and pack our things first. ”
Su Buwei wrinkled his face in confusion.
It's all in place, why go? Collect something? What to receive?
Su Buwei wanted to ask Su Bu surprised, but when he saw that her face was not very good, he put away his doubts and went home with Su Bu Jing.
On the way, the two were silent.
After arriving at the courtyard, Su Buwei just wanted to ask a question, but Su Buwei interrupted: "Second brother, put away all the clothes in the bedroom first, and wait for Daddy to come back." ”
Su Buwei had no choice but to pack up his clothes, folded them one by one and put them in the futon, bulging, like a boulder.
After cleaning up, Su Yuanshan also came back from outside in the rain.
Su Yuanshan's face was very bad, his steps were a little heavy, and the cloak on his body was wet from the rain, so he didn't care.
He came in, first drank a bowl of ginger soup on the table, then sighed, and said:
"Alas, things are not very good!"
Su Bu was shocked and hurriedly asked: "Daddy, Bai County is going to... Conscription? ”
Su Yuanshan said helplessly: "It's not Baixian, it's the whole Yongzhou." ”
"Qizhou couldn't stand it, King Yu reported to the court, hoping to recruit urgent troops in Yongzhou, which is closest to Qizhou, and the emperor made a decree in court, and the horse was sent to Yongzhou."
"The county order called all the adult males in Bai County, saying that all the males in every household, who can walk, must go to the yamen to register, and set off for Qizhou in ten days to help King Yu take down the rebels."
"Huh? Anyone who can walk has to go? How old do you want to let the doll go to war? Su Buwei was so anxious that he grabbed Su Buwei and said angrily.
Su Yuanshan said at a loss:
"Alas, before leaving, the county order read the yellow list of each household one by one, saying that the yamen has records, and I hope everyone can honestly go to the yamen to register."
"Can I pay for it with money?" Su Bu asked in surprise.
There are four men in their family!
Daddy, Big Brother, Second Brother and Little Brother...
And the little brother is still so young... I'm afraid I can't even pick up a weapon!
If they are really conscripted to fight in Qizhou, then they will not be able to come back!
Because of that King Yu, he will definitely let these ragtag soldiers recruited from Yongzhou be meat shields!
Their family won't just break up!
