Chapter 1235: Farewell to Death
But her escape may be the death of the whole village.
With so many lives on her back, will she still have to live in this mountain for the rest of her life even if she hides?
"aunt……"
Xiaobao still cried loudly.
Shen Qingci sighed, then she wiped Xiaobao's face with her sleeve, and then picked up Xiaobao.
It is a blessing or not a disaster, it is also a disaster or a disaster. Perhaps it is not what she thought, it is just that she thought too much.
When she hugged Xiaobao to the foot of the mountain, she couldn't help but hug Xiaobao in her arms with her hands.
The soldiers came from the village. She was sweating coldly in her palms. She couldn't help but lower her head. Her feet were also heavy, so she couldn't take any steps?
She looked back at the entrance of the village. At this time, there were many officers and soldiers standing at the entrance of the village, and every villager had a sad look on his face.
Uncontrollably, Shen Qingci frowned slightly, as if these officers and soldiers were not looking for her.
She hurriedly carried Xiaobao to Uncle Wu's house, and Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu were both standing at the door, and Aunt Wu was so anxious that she was crying from time to time.
"Where has our Xiaobao gone?" Aunt Wu really wanted to find Xiaobao now, but the officers and soldiers were blocking outside and refused to let them go. Xiaobao is her lifeblood. If something really happened to Xiaobao, then she wouldn't live anymore.
"He went to find Xiaoya."
Uncle Wu was also worried about Xiaobao, but he had known that Xiaobao must have gone to find Shen Qingci.
"What are you looking for her?"
Aunt Wu didn't want to mention that person, and when she mentioned it, her heart felt like she was in a state of silence.
"Don't you look for her, are you looking for your Junlan?"
Wu Zheng asked Aunt Wu, saying that the couple could not share the same joys and sorrows, let alone a cousin who was one person with one person and three thousand miles apart.
Aunt Wu was also choked and her face looked extremely ugly.
Junlan, Junlan, and when it comes to Junlan's name, Aunt Wu wants to hate that she bit her teeth and bite them into pieces.
She drove away a demon, but brought a ungrateful wolf to the family. Junlan actually stole her silver for a total of 300 taels. Just when she wanted to get the money back, the disaster never came singularly.
The officers and soldiers also entered the village and refused to let them go. Xiaobao was lost, Junlan could not catch up, and the money was taken away. So much money was really just to dig her heart, dig her liver, and kill her life.
"Xiaobao..." Just as Aunt Wu was about to feel pain as if she was digging her heart and liver, she heard Uncle Wu's voice.
She looked up and saw Shen Qingci walking over with Xiaobao in her arms.
And the officers and soldiers naturally saw them.
"Are you from this company?"
The officers and soldiers asked Shen Qingci.
Shen Qingci stood there without moving. Uncle Wu hurried over and explained.
"Official, she is my distant niece. She came to join us. We had no children and wanted to adopt her," he shook his head at Shen Qingci, meaning that she would not say anything.
After all, Shen Qingci was picked up by him. He didn't know what his identity was before. These officers and soldiers were not easy to mess with, but they were just afraid. What if these officers and soldiers charged them with some crime, what should they do?
"That's yours."
Whether it is a biological daughter, a niece, or an adoptive daughter, it is enough for a family.
What the official officers wrote was to add one to a list, but they had no name, so they just wrote about an adoptive daughter, which was considered one more person.
"He Wu, now in response to the court's request, your He family must send one person, both men and women, you can decide for yourself."
Shen Qingci didn't understand. What should he send someone to do?
"Official, can we discuss it?"
Uncle Wu smiled at Guanchao, and then took advantage of the fact that there was no one and stuffed something into Guanchao's hand. As soon as Guanchao pinched his hand, he knew what it was?
The official officer also calmly put the money away, "Success, I'll give you half a day of discussion, and I'll pick you up later."
The fifth uncle bowed his head and bowed, and he also sent the official away to leave. However, the official away did not leave, but went to the next family. The entire village seemed to be shrouded in a very strange and terrifying atmosphere.
It seems that you can also hear the cry of people in the village, one after another, one after another, and such a thing has never happened in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Could it be that this is a military conscription? But even if it is a military conscription, the fifth uncle is not suitable for joining the army at this time. Even if he is forced to go there, no matter where he is, he can use money to exempt corvee from labor service.
It’s not that the fifth uncle has no money. Even if he gave Shen Qingci five hundred taels of silver, there are still five or six hundred taels. Will he not use the money to buy his life for himself?
"Let's go in."
Uncle Wu wiped his face and opened the door. Shen Qingci just nodded with Uncle Wu, but he had an extra look at Aunt Wu and never gave her a point.
Uncle Fifth took Xiaobao from Shen Qingci's arms, and at this time Xiaobao was already asleep on her shoulders, falling dirty. His poor appearance also made Uncle Fifth feel very distressed, but now he has no time to care about him.
Shen Qingci sat down, just wanted to know what these people were going to do?
"I have never asked where you came from?"
Uncle Wu smiled, but this smile was a little bitter, "But it doesn't matter where it comes from. I know you are a good child and will not hurt people."
Shen Qingci clenched his fingers on his legs.
Then she stretched out her fingers, dipped some water in the cup, and wrote on the table.
"What happened?"
No one knows that she is literate, and the same is true for Uncle Wu.
In fact, if Shen Qingci doesn’t want to write, even if she can speak, Uncle Wu wouldn’t feel anything strange?
"Oh..." Uncle Wu sighed. Cangtao was known for his iron melting technique, but this iron melting technique was not as easy to practice. This time, I didn't know what the imperial court was for. It actually required a lot of pig iron, so we were asked to be strong men.
Shen Qingci's eyes moved slightly, but he did not interrupt Uncle Wu.
"The court asked every household in my village to practice iron, and practice iron..." He said, unable to hide his even more throat.
"This iron melting technique is not as good as iron-melting. I can still go home, but if the iron melting person in the past, he can't come back."
No, come back?
Shen Qingci didn't understand. Is this meant to die there?
Uncle Wu understands what she is thinking?
"Even if we don't die there, we can't come back. I'm afraid that the iron melting technique will be spread. This is the case every time. The wife cannot see her husband, the husband cannot return home, and the son cannot see her biological father. Although it is not a separation from death, it is also a separation from life. Therefore, no one wants to go. If he goes, he cannot come back again."
