Chapter 502 Conscription
Shouts came from outside the door, and people in the entire village closed their doors tightly and refused to go out.
Wan'er really didn't expect that the conscription that A Niu just mentioned, now there are people from the government chasing to the door of the house. She looked at the few people from the government outside through the window, and she was anxious and didn't know what to do. After joining the army, there is no news, how should I live?
A Niu walked out hesitantly, and was immediately arrested by two government officials as soon as he opened the door.
"What are you going to do?" Ah Niu knew that the government had started to arrest people as soldiers, but he never expected to be so arrogant that he refused to say anything that could be explained.
"Of course I will take you to serve as a soldier. Don't worry, you will be paid as a soldier. Five taels of silver a month, and sixty taels a year. It is much more profitable than farming. Is there any life to get this money?" , then it’s hard to say.” One of the government officials said with a smile.
"I'll take the money and buy a quota." A Niu couldn't let go of Wan'er at all. At this time, he was no longer thinking about the amount of money, but was able to survive with Wan'er.
"Hmph, silver, I'm sorry, the mayor said that the supply of front-line soldiers is tight, so you don't need to use silver to deduct quotas anymore, you should honestly come back with us to see the mayor!" Seeing that Ah Niu was powerless to resist, he was about to leave.
At this moment, a spirit stone flew out of Ah Niu's yard and landed steadily in everyone's sight. The officials present recognized this spirit stone very well. The weight of this spirit stone alone No less than one hundred taels of gold.
"Is this a real spirit stone?"
An official swallowed his saliva, and reached out to touch the spirit stone, but saw a few sword lights flashing in the spirit stone, and then the spirit stone had been divided into less than five pieces and scattered on the ground.
"Take away the spirit stone, keep the person, or keep your life." Ye Tianqing's cold voice resounded in the ears of every official. They glanced at each other, let A Niu share the Lingshi, and hurriedly left the village.
As soon as the officials left, all the people in the village who were hiding in the houses came out.
"What should I do now?"
"The officials are starting to arrest people. You didn't see the big spirit stone at the gate of A Niu, otherwise how could they let A Niu go. Pity our men can't earn gold."
"Young people, take your wives, mothers and children to hide outside. The war is coming soon, and everything in the field may be ruined. We old people can't go to the battlefield. Stay and see if the land is still okay. Yes." An elder in his fifties in the village stood up and said.
The young men were not talking either, and the women were muttering about the damn war, making life impossible for themselves, and returning home to pack their things and prepare to leave the village early.
The small village, which was originally quiet and serene, suddenly became "lively", but everyone's faces were no longer happy, but they were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.
Some older children who are already sensible children are noisy and crying and don’t want to leave. Those children who have just learned to run cheered and jumped on the land. You can eat candy and receive gift money.
For young them, going out is an asset, which can make childhood more interesting.
The young women in the village babbled non-stop, telling everyone that their fate was bad. There was a poor man and a bunch of ill-bred children. Occasionally, there were women who praised their men, but when they mentioned that they should Leaving the village and giving up the family's more than ten acres of land, I was very reluctant to give up, and worried about how to make money in the future.
The old people gathered in the village, both men and women. The men were all old and exceeded the recruitment standards. They were talking about staying and helping their sons to look after the land. The women could only lament the fate of being old. Bitter, war is coming.
It was getting dark soon, and more or less people had dragged their families away. They were afraid of meeting people from the government during the day, so they didn't run away in the end, but were dragged to work as laborers.
A Niu has been in a daze in the yard, looking at Ye Tian's room from time to time, frowning.
Wan'er, who was sitting in a daze by the window, sometimes glanced at the precious broken gold in her hand, and sometimes thought of the big spirit stone that appeared outside the door. At this time, she would think of Ye Tian and his love. Identity should be very different from yourself.
Sometimes she felt that she was lucky, and sometimes she felt that she was really unlucky. She met Ye Tian and someone she shouldn't have met.
Contradictory moods made everyone on this day unhappy.
The sky above the village seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds. Ye Tian could hear every family, every household quarreling and quarreling. The old people were squatting in front of their courtyards, smoking dry pipes , let out a long sigh from time to time.
The peaceful and quiet village in my impression has completely changed.
Even the yellow dog, which would bark a few times every evening, was silent. The breeze blew past, like the bleak autumn wind, which made everyone fall into a predicament.
Ye Tian stood up, came to the yard, looked at A Niu who had been staring at the gloomy sky in a daze, and walked over slowly.
"Did you know that this would happen a long time ago, so you stayed in the village?" A Niu turned his head and looked at Ye Tian. He knew that Ye Tian's identity was different from that of an ordinary person like him. He would think of giving up the treatment of Ye Tian, so as not to cause trouble for himself.
"I know that Cang Yue will attack Yan State, and even defeat it. It's just a matter of time." Ye Tian did not deny that he knew this, but he did not expect that Yan State would forcibly intercept innocent people from entering the army to die.
"You really don't intend to leave?" Ah Niu said again.
"I haven't thought about it yet, and my current situation is not suitable to appear in front of some people, otherwise I will encounter a lot of trouble." Ye Tian said with a bitter smile.
"Whether you go or not, I plan to take Wan'er away tomorrow. Even if she really likes you and you don't want to go, I will take her away tied up. She is my sister, and her life is more important than mine. , I promised my parents to find her a good family and live a happy life." A Niu stood up happily and said loudly to Ye Tian.
I don't know if Ye Tian heard what he said, even Wan'er who was sitting by the window could hear it.
Wan'er knows that A Niu is doing it for her own good, and she has already figured it out that she and Ye Tian are people from two worlds after all, if he wants to go, he hasn't finished the Yangguan Road, and if she wants to live, she has already set foot on it and has no other choice. wooden bridge.
"Good people don't get married, they do it by themselves. I have basic exercises for strengthening the body, and some pills to strengthen the body, which will help you. You accept it and take Wan'er with you. Get out of here and take good care of and protect her for me. Remember, you must make good use of the contents inside." Ye Tian took out a palm-sized cloth bag and placed it on Ah Niu's lap.
After finishing everything, Ye Tian got up and walked to the window of the room where Wan'er lived, because he knew that Wan'er was sitting by the window.
A Niu opened the cloth bag left by Ye Tian. In addition to two bottles of pills, there was also a handwritten book bound and stitched together. The words "Longevity Gong" were written on it. It records some cultivation methods and the parts that need to be paid attention to when taking elixirs. There are also a set of boxing techniques, a set of sword techniques, a set of spear techniques, and a set of saber techniques.
Every action in the book is described in pictures and texts. Even if Ah Niu has not studied private schools for several years and cannot know many words, he can vaguely understand the same through the pictures and words above.
He just took a rough look at these things, and then he was attracted by the gold tickets at the bottom of the bag. There was such a thick stack of gold tickets that he could barely hold them in one hand. A Niu took them out and took a look. There were hundreds of denominations of one hundred taels and two hundred taels, and there were ten gold denominations of one thousand taels left.
A Niu did a simple calculation, and the total amount of gold added up was tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Holding the whole cloth bag, Ah Niu's head was empty, and he was stunned for a long time, looking back at Ye Tian who was talking to Wan'er, Ah Niu counted out a part of the denomination of one hundred taels from the gold ticket, and took it in his hand to go door-to-door. Drop by.
In the whole village, A Niu knew better than anyone how old the children were and how the man was. He just took the golden ticket and sent it to the villagers who had packed up their things and were about to leave.
Ye Tian noticed what A Niu was doing and didn't stop him, because he knew that A Niu would do this after getting along with him these days. Although he didn't have a good impression of A Niu when they first met, he still knew that this young man His nature is simple and kind.
That's why he left a lot of gold notes in denominations of one hundred or two hundred, so that he could help the villagers in the whole village.
Ever since he came to this world and awakened his consciousness, what Ye Tian faced was the intriguing cultivator. Everyone in the world wanted to plot against him, spy on his life experience and the Ye family's legacy, and he could not avoid being ignorant of it. The people around are also wearing masks, and everything they do is selfish.
Not to mention the world of comprehension, even the worldly people, there are very few people who act like Ah Niu.
"After we're gone, will we be able to meet you again in the future?" Wan'er looked at Ye Tian in a daze, and said suddenly for a long time.
"Maybe, maybe, maybe not, but if you have time, you can take a look at this book, figure out your own choice, take the elixir according to the cultivation method in it, and start to practice. If there is a destiny, we will We will meet again." Ye Tian took out another cloth bag and placed it by Wan'er's window.
The contents inside are almost the same as those of A Niu except that there are more pills. The golden ticket is to prevent A Niu and Wan'er from getting separated, or he abandons Wan'er and prepares it for Wan'er alone. As for "Longevity Gong" It is a practice method that was taken from a certain alchemy monk and can be practiced to the alchemy stage.
Ye Tian left things behind, regardless of whether Wan'er accepted it or not, he went straight back to his residence, continued to practice, and repaired the damaged golden core.
It was late at night, but the whole village was completely different from the past.
The lights were brightly lit, and one family after another greeted each other with joy, and sometimes they would say hello, mentioning A Niu, saying that he was a good man, without him, everyone would not know how to live without him.
However, there were no A Niu and Wan'er among the leaving crowd. The people who saw off guessed that A Niu should have not explained to the strange man who lived in his house!
Everyone can only guess like this, but when they gathered at the entrance of the village at home, suddenly there was a miserable bark of a yellow dog, and immediately after that, a ball of light of different colors suddenly appeared from the entire mountain on which the village was relying. It can be seen from the lights inside that there are green lights, red lights, and yellow lights.
