Master, she devotes herself to practicing magic

Chapter 71 0070: Robbery

Hearing Grandpa's voice, the little girl let go of her holding hands, and her face became more rosy unconsciously.

The man with a stiff back heaved a sigh of relief. He was not good at dealing with women, and seeing women crying was even more unbearable.

"Old man, what happened in the city?"

The autumn harvest had just begun, and the city's debt collectors came three times, and rumors of conscription had already begun to spread among the villagers.

Conscription is undoubtedly a heavy burden for farmers. If the labor force of the family is confiscated, the harvest in the field will be severely damaged for a year.

The hand of the old man smoking the pipe trembled slightly, and he had heard rumors of conscription.

"Let's talk at home."

The man nodded when he heard the words, resisted the hoe and walked towards the house without even taking a sip of water.

Although it has already entered autumn, the hot light has not been restrained a little because of the season, but is more unscrupulous because of the clear air.

"The annual cost is not good this year." The old man sighed, and the shredded tobacco from the pipe seemed to be broken or connected in the hot air.

The man bowed his head and said nothing, while Xiaocui was washing vegetables in the back room.

"Really want to conscript?"

"The county master personally received the notice, and the notice will come down in two days." The old man has practiced medicine all his life, and the news was informed by the county yamen's catcher.

Hearing that the news was true, the man's head drooped even more.

The old man's three sons all died on the battlefield, and the family has long since lost a man in his prime.

"Da Zhuang, you pack up and salute tonight and run." The old man turned his head away, and he didn't know what his expression was under the dim light.

The man didn't speak, but only looked at the thin figure in the back room.

I do not go.

These words turned in my mind several times and finally stuffed in my mouth without saying it.

The man slipped into the mountain against the darkness of the night, but the little girl ran several miles crying to see him off.

"Brother Zhuang, you will come back when the conscription is over, right?" The little girl's cry was soft and soft, and it was warm to the man's ears.

The man's heart softened, and he nodded slightly.

"I'll be back." The man touched the long sword on his back. He has lost his memory and now only this long sword can't be given up.

"Then it's done, you must come back, definitely."

The girl's eyes were bright, as if the stars in the sky were scattered into the pupils.

The man left, and after a while the whole figure melted into the dense forest. Xiaocui stood there for a long time until the cold wind dried her tears before turning and going home.

Just like what my grandfather had heard, the conscription team arrived in the village on the third day, and the village chief took the collection from each household of the military master, and all the males who could not hand in the food were charged for military service.

The same goes for Xiaocui's family, whose grandfather was confiscated.

Because of his superb medical skills, he was placed at the rear of the team, responsible for dealing with the wounded, and he was considered safe for the time being. Grandpa's letters were all reporting his safety, which made her feel relieved.

The flames of war did not start until half a month later, and the newly appointed magistrate was about to attack a camp where casual cultivators had camped nearby with a wave of his hand.

The relationship between the monk and the imperial court was already at odds, and paying off the monk's power would undoubtedly add a touch of color to his official career, and it was not impossible to be transferred back to the capital.

I thought that the government's military strength would be overwhelming, but I didn't expect to encounter tenacious resistance. The flames of war burned for three full months. The officers and soldiers couldn't take down the loose cultivators and finally chose to poison them in the water.

By the time the monks realized the problem, the poison had already penetrated into the bone marrow.

A rabbit in a hurry will bite people, not to mention a monk with unique skills.

They dispatched troops in two ways, all the way to Huanglong, sneaked into the county magistrate's mansion and hijacked the county magistrate to ask for the antidote, and all the way into the enemy's rear to burn food and grass for support.
