My imagination has come true

In Xuanzhou City, there are almost no people in the streets and alleys.

At the north city gate, the soldiers were waiting for danger.

There were enemy troops stationed thirty miles outside the city, and Chaoge's cavalry often made long-distance raids, breaking into villages, taking away burned grains, capturing young laborers, and executing the old, weak, sick, and disabled. Wherever they passed, there was scorched earth everywhere.

Xuanzhou really didn't have the energy to put out fires everywhere, so they had to pretend to disappear.

Every time there is an urgent military report, the people will be on tenterhooks for a while.

Many old people who had gone through the war made urgent preparations. All their belongings that could be exchanged for gold and silver were exchanged for gold and silver. Those who could buy food bought as much food as they could and hid it. They also carried the ancestral tablets with them and had relatives in the village to rely on. Yes, while the city gate is not yet closed, hurry up and seek refuge with your relatives.

The Sun family is an ordinary middle-class family in Xuanzhou. Sun Mei's grandfather and father are both scholars. Her grandfather also has the honor of being a civil servant, but he has no money to cultivate connections, cannot become an official, and has no hope of passing the imperial examination. It can only be said that it is better than nothing. Poor people with rich families are better off, but they are not from official families either.

But everyone in the Sun family attaches great importance to reputation.

Sun's father must make his daughter a loyal and chaste woman.

"If the Guo family can pass this test, you will be a good wife and a great hero of the Guo family in the future. No one can be better than you. Guo Ji will respect you no matter how many concubines he has in his life, otherwise He is so ungrateful that everyone in the world will drown him."

"If the Guo family can't survive, and their home is confiscated and exiled, you have to accept your fate."

The atmosphere in the room was oppressive and strange.

Sun's father looked at his daughter and spoke seriously.

Sun Mei: "..."

She neither wanted the respect of a husband who seemed destined to have many concubines, nor was she happy to be exiled and beheaded inexplicably without knowing anything.

Besides, the enemies were all approaching the city. Why did her father, her mother, her uncles and uncles in her family not worry about becoming the dead souls of the Jinta clan's cavalry, and why did they care about her?

Before he could properly communicate with his parents and express his thoughts clearly, Sun's father heard a lot of bad words from others - like how Sun Mei and her sister-in-law had been separated for several months and nothing had happened. Judging from the way she was dressed in gold and silver, it was obvious that she was engaged in some dirty trade. Everything was given to her by benefactors, so she naturally refused to remarry the young master of the Guo family.

Sun Mei today is completely different from the Xiaojiabiyu her parents had before her a few months ago.

She is now not used to talking with her head down, not used to communicating with others and not being able to look at each other, and not used to holding her breasts and hunching her back.

She was not used to anything at home.

She knew in her heart that people were afraid of being different. Now that she was different, she stood out in the crowd. Most of the insults and slanders she received from others were due to envy and jealousy, so there was no need to care.

But she didn't care. After hearing all kinds of sarcastic words, Sun's father became very sensitive and angry, and was completely unable to communicate.

"You have to marry even if you don't want to. This is your fate."

Sun's father narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Did you really do something shameful?"

Sun Mei: "..."

If it was before, she must have been scared to death.

I'm just a little helpless at the moment.

"Dad, if you, as a biological father, slander your daughter like this, even if I am innocent, I might not be able to explain clearly."

Father Sun frowned and finally closed his mouth.

Sun Mei sighed. She remembered the photos she had seen before. It was a world similar to that of Daxi Dynasty. Her fiancé committed a crime and was waiting to die. The woman ran around to save him and tried her best. When her fiancé escaped safely, she suspected that she had already done something. He took an official's concubine and forced her to die to prove her innocence.

At that time, the classmates discussed together, what did the fairy say?

Mu Xianzi said: "She has seen women who remarried and became queens, and she has seen women who ascended the throne and became queens after their husbands died. These women are all great and live a good life. On the contrary, those who are virtuous and virtuous, who work hard and don't complain, have been soaked in bitterness all their lives." Here, from birth to death, there is no momentary happiness." "I really don't understand, good and bad are so obvious, why do girls turn a blind eye?"

"Ugh!"

When Sun Mei was in the capital, she missed her parents and wanted to go home to report that they were safe. Now, the only thing she wants to do is to return to Houquan Mountain immediately.

In these fifteen years, she was only truly alive during the few months on Roaring Spring Mountain.

For Sun Mei now, the friends on Houquan Mountain are not relatives, but better than relatives, and even more intimate than relatives.

But she had been a good daughter for fifteen years. She couldn't just care about herself and ignore her parents. Faced with what her fiancé's family was going through at this time, she also felt that the topic of breaking off the engagement at this moment made her a little unable to open her mouth.

Sun Mei thought for a moment. Uncle Guo's ancestors and grandsons have been stationed at the border in Dazhengguan for three generations. They have been loyal and loyal for generations. There are old people at the top and young at the bottom. There are many people in the clan. It is a joke to say that he collaborates with the enemy and treason.

Mistakes are definitely made.

Uncle Guo has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he always loses when he fights against the wind.

Maybe she could help Uncle Guo redress his grievance first, and wait until the Guo family is safe before breaking off the engagement.

However, Sun's father refused to wait for one more day and did not discuss it with Sun Mei. When she found out, Liu Li could only greet her in person.

"When things are urgent, follow the authority, don't waste money, keep everything simple."

Sun's father said a word, and Sun Mei was put into the carriage and directly entered the Guo family's gate.

Sun Mei: "..."

She has been weak since she was a child and has no strength to tie a chicken. Facing her father, brother, uncles, and uncles, she can't do anything. She doesn't want to cry, go on a hunger strike, hurt herself, and waste her energy.

So as soon as you come, make peace with it.

After walking such a long way with the refugees, going around the Roaring Spring Mountain, and seeing the most beautiful scenery in the world, Sun Mei felt that the biggest change in her mind was that there was nothing important in life except death.

Among the refugees, she met children who were sold by their fathers to others for cooking. There were more girls than boys. Those who survived were all met by miracles.

Miracles are things that are very difficult to encounter. There are only a few in ten thousand. Most of them will die if they encounter such things.

The wind whistled.

The whole Guo family was in a gloomy mood. On the third day after Sun Mei came into the house, her mother-in-law cried and pointed at her nose and yelled: "You are a bastard, if Ji'er does anything good, I will skin you!" "

Sun Mei: "..."

Because Guo Ji volunteered to join the death squad, Sun Mei didn't even see her 'husband'.

Now the war between the Xi Dynasty and the Jinta tribe is about to break out. There are wars outside Xuanzhou City every day. The magistrate of Xuanzhou has established a death squad to take in criminals, refugees, and people who cannot survive. These people are responsible for conducting spies and assassinations. , break off and other dangerous tasks.

If you earn military merit, you can be exempted from crime as appropriate.

Guo Ji obviously didn't have such good luck. Unfortunately, he disappeared after the first mission of the death squad.

The so-called missing person generally means dead in the eyes of people outside the Guo family.

At this time, Mu Qingyun, who received Sun Mei's letter asking for help and complaining, rushed to Xuanzhou City. (End of chapter)
