Chapter 5 Conscription
Yan Cheng was secretly happy when he heard Zhuang Wan say this.In the past, he would eat enough for one person and the whole family would not be hungry, but now it is different.If the two get married, he will have to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, so he should have a long-term plan.

He was quite embarrassed, and his ears were red: "Then you may wish..."

"Selling chicken coops is not a long-term solution." Zhuang Wan didn't listen to what he said at all, she put her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before saying, "How about... let's do a small business!"

After reading so many kinds of Tianwen gourmet articles, it will always come in handy!

Yan Cheng swallowed back what he was going to say, and straightened his expression, "In your opinion, what should I do? No matter what business you do, you need capital, but..."

"Cooking food!" Zhuang Wan said, "This doesn't require much capital."

Yan Cheng nodded in agreement: "Then what will you eat?"

Zhuang Wan was surprised: "Why did I do it, you must have done it! I don't know how to do it!"

The food she cooks is probably not eaten by dogs.

Yan Cheng was in trouble when he heard the words: "I can only cook rough food, I'm afraid I won't be able to sell it for much money."

Zhuang Wan looked at him speechlessly.The children of poor people have long been in charge of the house, and she thought that this villain's living room is like a kitchen, but now it seems that he can only weave chicken coops.

"I'll tell you the truth!" Yan Cheng explained: "I never went into the kitchen when my parents were around, and I learned slowly after my parents left. It's also strange, I usually learn everything very quickly, just like this chicken coop, father I've only taught it twice, and I'm good at it. But I've never got the point of cooking, so I can only cook something casually, and if I sell it, I'm afraid no one will care about it."

Zhuang Wan sighed: "Looks like I have to think about other ways." She said casually: "When your parents are here, you should be very happy!"

Yan Cheng nodded: "Actually, they are not my biological parents, but they treat me as their own."

Zhuang Wan heard something bad, this Yan Cheng already knew that he was not the son of Li's couple, so how much did he know about his own background?

She pretended to be surprised and asked, "What about your biological parents?"

Yan Cheng shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then you want to go find them?"

After thinking for a moment, Yan Cheng said: "Since they abandoned me, they must be poor people. If I go to find them, it will become their burden again."

"Great!" Zhuang Wan shouted excitedly, seeing Yan Cheng looking at her in surprise, she explained: "Cough... I mean it's great that you can think like this. Since your adoptive parents treat you That's right, and you have no children, so don't think about recognizing your ancestors and returning to your ancestors, it's fine to call Li Daniu."

Yan Cheng nodded.It has been five years since his father and mother passed away, and he has not spoken more than these two days.

He stared blankly at Zhuang Wan, thinking that if she was willing to accompany him to live this poor life, he would have nothing to ask for in this life.But just now he can't say what he wanted to marry.

Forget it, the future is long, just wait a little longer.

"Let's go to the city and see if there is any business that can be done." Zhuang Wan always felt that only by doing business can she get rich faster.

Yan Cheng replied: "Okay..."

As soon as the two entered the city, they saw notices posted everywhere in the city, and the common people gathered together to discuss.

"Could it be possible to fight again?"

"I can't tell. The Nanyi often disturb the border. In the past, it was just a small disturbance. This time, I'm afraid it's going to be serious."

"What do you know? I heard that King Qi took the initiative to send troops to Nanyi this time, so he recruited troops."

"What are they looking at?" Zhuang Wan stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck curiously, but she still couldn't see.

Yan Cheng looked up, glanced at her and told her: "The Nanyi frequently invaded the border, and King Qi is now recruiting young and strong men from the southwestern states and counties to enlist in the army to fight against the Nanyi. Each recruit will be given ten taels of Anjia silver, exempting the whole family from corvee. "

Zhuang Wan said "oh", King Qi... looks so familiar.

"This ten taels of silver is a lot!" someone said.

Another person said: "Ten taels of silver is a lot, but do you know how cruel the Nanyi people are? They often live in the deep mountains, drink blood like hair, are brave and powerful, and even raise poisonous snakes to help in the battle. If they die in battle, it's fine. I was captured by him, and they were all eaten. I heard that the drinking utensils of Nanyi are made of skulls! If you end up with a dead body for these ten taels of silver, it would be wronged."

After hearing what this person said, all the people wanted to retreat.

Now Zhuang Wan finally remembered who King Qi was, and that was the hero Xiao Jingchen.

This is not good!

"Let's go quickly!" Zhuang Wan urged Yan Cheng by the sleeve.

But Yan Cheng stood still, staring closely at the recruitment notice, and said firmly:
"I want to join the army!"

"..." Zhuang Wan secretly sighed.

Is it really God's will?The villain joins the army and is still under the command of the hero.

No, absolutely not!
She dragged Yan Cheng aside, and squinted at him: "Hmph! Join the army? You are very skilled in martial arts, can you defeat a hundred with one?"

Yan Cheng was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head.

"Excellent archery skills, with a hundred shots?"

"..."

"Arranging troops, are you brave and resourceful?"

Yan Cheng buried his head in silence, the awe-inspiring look of wanting to join the army to serve the country just now tended to dim.

"You don't have these skills and you still want to join the army?" Zhuang Wan continued to sprinkle salt on the wound: "Look at your slender arms and legs, it's not enough for the Nanyi people to be an appetizer. Don't be whimsical all day long. The enemy is not chopping melons and vegetables, it is much more difficult than weaving chicken coops, so let's not drag others down and live an ordinary life, okay?"

Yan Cheng was choked with displeasure by these words, but after thinking about it, it seemed reasonable, he really didn't have any special skills.

Seeing that he was depressed, Zhuang Wan said softly: "Don't blame me for speaking harshly. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If you go, you will die. It's not like we can't live on, why bother to exchange our lives for this An Jiayin."

These words made Yan Cheng feel comforted in his heart.She thought that Zhuang Wan was really thinking about him, fearing that he would go to the battlefield and never come back.At first, he thought about leaving the ten taels of silver to her to live a better life, but now that she doesn't dislike her, why is he worried.

Immediately said: "You are right, I listen to you!"

Zhuang Wan smiled with satisfaction: "That's right!"

She pulled Yan Cheng up, fearing that he would regret it: "Let's hurry home and cook! I'm hungry!"

It's not easy to come to this city.

In the next few days, neither of them entered the city again.Zhuang Wan wondered how she would have to wait until the recruitment deadline had passed before entering the city.

She leaned against the door to watch Yan Cheng weave chicken coops in the yard.His sculpted fingers shuttled between the strips, looking as graceful as playing a piano.

He was born in the royal family, even if the pearl is dusty, he will not hide his light. It is really a pity that such a person succumbs to the countryside.

But there is no way, she can only sacrifice Yan Cheng if she wants to return to the real world.Without the villain's hindrance, the male lead and the female lead should be able to get together smoothly. As long as she persists until the finale, she will complete the task.

Perhaps for Yan Cheng, who was burdened with the hatred of the country and the family and lost his heart and died tragically, the best destination is to die in the countryside in a mediocre manner.

"There is no salt at home. I'll go to the city to buy some salt." Yan Cheng tied up several chicken coops, "By the way, sell these chicken coops."

Zhuang Wan hurriedly said: "Then I'll go with you!" She had to keep an eye on him all the time, in case he had any wrong thoughts.

The two entered the city, but saw that the shops were closed, there were very few pedestrians in the city, and occasionally a few people were in a hurry.

Yan Cheng couldn't help worrying: "Could it be that Nanyi is going to fight over?"

He stopped a young man who was in a hurry: "Dare to ask, brother, what happened in this city?"

The young man said: "You don't know yet? A few days ago, King Qi recruited [-] new soldiers, and every state and county had their quotas. How did you know that less than [-] soldiers were recruited in the past few days? Now the government is searching for young and strong men in the city. Conscripted into the army. If you don't want to be arrested, go home quickly and don't wander around the city."

After all, he left in a hurry.

Zhuang Wan hurriedly said: "This is too scary, let's leave the city as soon as possible!"

Yan Cheng nodded: "Okay!"

The two of them had just walked a few steps in the direction of leaving the city, when a loud shout came from behind them: "The two in front, stop!"
