"Mother!" looked at the old man's gray hair. Huang Yi was moved. Holding her rough palm, he whispered: "Don't worry, the child is now in the Yangzhou Martial Arts Hall, and he has ten taels of silver a month." In the future, it will be added. So you don't have to worry, start now, you should spend the flowers. No need to save. ”

"But you haven't started working yet. Listen to the mother, wait for you to earn money and pay back the money. If I have extra money, I will come to honor my mother again, and now I will definitely not use this borrowed silver. "A simple old man all his life, his thinking is deep-rooted. In their opinion, owing money is already wrong. It will not spend the money that Huang Yi borrowed.

Huang Yi couldn't push it, so he had to do it: "Okay, I'll keep the ten taels of silver." These two taels should have belonged to the mother, and I will return them to you. As he spoke, Huang Yi took out some broken silver from the silver.

This time the old man did not refuse. After dinner, Huang Yi passed by the small market and bought a straw mat and returned to the earthen house with a quilt. At this time, the second elder had finished washing and was no longer as dirty as before. And this made Huang Yi even more distressed. Washed clean, natural to see clearly. If you see it clearly, you can have a contrast. Looking at the old man's much older body in two or three days, Huang Yi felt distressed.

In the countryside, the time of sleep is relatively early, and in their opinion, it is also good to save money on lamp oil. Huang Yi spread the straw mat on the ground and lay down. But I couldn't sleep anyway. It was as if all the sleeping techniques learned in the barracks had lost their effect. Looking at the moonlight outside the window, Huang Yi planned for tomorrow.

The day after tomorrow is the last day of the holiday, after all, it is not good to break the contract just after work. Tomorrow, I will take the second elder to make two sets of decent clothes. Then, buy a rice jar with rice and buy some vegetables to store. In ancient times, the 'tank' was a valuable thing. This luxury is basically used to store alcohol. This also caused many people to buy rice, only two or three catties at a time, and then wrapped it in cloth bags. Buy more? Feed the rats?

Huang Yi thought about it, and finally felt a little sleepy. It was the first time he had slept so naturally since he entered the barracks. I didn't force myself to sleep in order to keep my spirits up. Because of this, this sleep is particularly sweet.

On the second day, Huang Yi took the second elder to visit the entire market. I customized two sets of clothes for the second elder, but I was told that I wouldn't be able to get them until ten days later. After all, it was ancient times, and there were too few ready-made clothes. At the end of the day, it cost three taels of silver to buy things. The distressed two old people are a big obstacle. However, it didn't work, and in the end, the three hands couldn't lift it. I had to hire a pallet cart and put it on it and push it back.

On the third day, the second elder sent Huang Yi to the post station. They have never been out of Yuhang County in their lives, and at most they have planted fields on the edge of the village. Or when you were young, you went to the beach outside Cuishan Port to fish. looked at Huang Yi who got into the carriage, and felt that Huang Yi was happy and reluctant. The arrival of Huang Yi changed the lives of their two elders in a few days. Now, again, it's leaving. It's a bit far away, and I probably won't be able to come back once in a month or two.

This time, Huang Yi was not in a hurry. Ordinary carriages swayed from early morning to dusk before arriving at the gate of Yangzhou City. Huang Yi got out of the car early, he wanted to feel the prosperity of Yangzhou City thousands of years ago.

After taking a look, Huang Yi found that there was a poster indicating the emperor list not far from the gate of Yangzhou City. A bunch of people were pointing around it. Huang Yi walked over curiously.

Seeing the old man on crutches, hunched over to some illiterate people, he sighed and explained: "Build a canal, Hui Zhuangding." Ay....... ”

Before Huang Yi could figure out what the situation was, he heard a man next to him sigh and say, "What should I do about this? The new conscription has been announced, and even I have to go to ......." ”

"What new conscription?" Huang Yi asked curiously.

When the man saw someone asking, he replied: "The county service is the voluntary labor assigned by the government to adult men, including repairing cities, paving roads, defending villages, and guarding frontiers. ”

"What's all the fuss about? It's just a coolie, like we were soldiers. Huang Yi didn't care.

"You... Are you an officer or soldier...?" the man was startled.

"No... No... I, yes... My friend!" Huang Yi found out that his mouth was quick for a while, and his previous life identity was exposed.

"Oh!" the man sighed with relief before explaining, "Then you should know that every time there is a new conscription, you don't know how many people will die." I heard that those jobs are really not done by people, and those officers and soldiers, in order to finish it early, do not give any time to rest. They won't even give you water, and they'll whip you. ”

"Then what should I do?" Huang Yi remembered watching TV in his previous life, those pictures of building the Great Wall and building canals.

The man raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "I'm going to take some dog skins and sew a piece of underwear." Leather clothing not only ventilates but also adds some defensive effect. Wear it like this, even if they beat me with a whip. It also minimizes damage. It's just that I've been afraid of dogs since I was a child, and now just collecting dog skins gives me a headache. ”

"But how do you know that those officers and soldiers will definitely hit you in the body, what if they hit you in the face?" Huang Yi asked curiously. Is it still possible to take a hood?

"Huh? This... I never thought of it. What can I do!" The man's eyebrows furrowed. The smug color turned to nothing, and he looked in front of him.

"Hey, brother?" Huang Yi thought to himself, the consequences of his words. I couldn't help but say: "Before, I was before entering Yangzhou City. It was found that there were many wild dogs on the side of the official road outside the city. Well, I'll take you to hunt a few. Be a compensator for my previous nonsense. How about letting you collect dog hair?"

"Really?" The man immediately came back to his senses, and hurriedly said as if he was afraid that Huang Yi would regret it: "Okay, I can't go back." In Xia Fuyi, I don't know what to call the little brother? Thank you so much, little brother. ”

"Under Huang Yi. Huang Yi was stunned. This changes face too quickly, right?

"Haha...... You and I are really destined, and we both have the word 'Yi' in our names. No wonder the first time I met you, I felt very close. Fu Yi put his arm around Huang Yi's shoulders and laughed.

Looking at such a self-familiar Fu Yi, Huang Yi didn't know why, he always had a feeling that he had been tricked?
