Xiao An has been sitting quietly, like a timid little animal, listening carefully to the conversation between the "second sister" and the eldest brother.
When he heard Song Liyun talking to Song Zhenping about whether to leave or stay, he quietly came over and held Song Zhenping's hand tightly, his dark eyes full of fear.
Song Liyun's heart tightened, and she suddenly felt that she had thought too simplistically.
He and Song Zhenping are normal people and can predict danger, but Xiao An's intelligence is obviously problematic and his physical condition is not good.
It is indeed difficult to be a refugee in such a chaotic area.
Being pulled by his younger brother, Song Zhenping's brows gradually relaxed. He looked at Xiao An and said, "Okay, just be refugees, and we will go into the mountains. No matter how difficult it is, we brothers and sisters will die together."
When he heard Song Liyun say that when he returned to Xiaoshi Village, even if he set up a new household, he would not be able to avoid his stepmother's second uncle coming to the door every day to make trouble, his heart sank to the bottom: he didn't want his sister and brother to live in fear anymore.
The second sister is right, we must leave Xiaoshi Village.
The ferocious beasts in the mountains only hurt people when they are hungry, but when they return to Xiaoshi Village, they will be tortured endlessly, and life is worse than death.
Song Zhenping felt inexplicably calm. Ever since her second sister came back, she seemed to have a backbone, and everything was different from before.
Seeing that Song Zhenping agreed, Song Liyun was overjoyed. She didn't think it was so complicated. She only needed Song Zhenping to agree to go with her.
At this time, the noise ahead was getting closer and closer. Song Liyun stopped wasting time, stood up and walked to the roadside, preparing to find a suitable place and leave immediately.
Song Zhenping said, "Yun'er, wait a minute. Uncle Kui is good to us. Even if he wants to leave, we have to tell him. We can't let Mr. Li Zheng worry about us."
In Xiaoshi Village, the only one who cares about Brother Song Zhenping is Li Zheng.
Although he failed to fulfill his duties due to his selfishness, he still tried his best to ensure that Xiao An survived and did not die in infancy.
Now that my brother and sister have left and may never see each other again, it is appropriate to say goodbye to Song Dekui.
The three brothers and sisters were just getting ready when they saw a large number of people suddenly running back. However, they were not moving very fast. They stopped and walked, hesitated, and looked back as they ran.
Soon, Song Liyun also saw what was happening in the distance.
Someone on horseback was running through the crowd, as if trying to stop the scattered people.
Song Dekui also came over at this time. He was a tall and thin man who ran around and stood out among a group of people carrying bedding on their backs.
Before he even got close, Song Dekui started shouting: "Daping, leave quickly, this is the Zhenbei Army robbing people!"
Are you robbing people from the military camp? Want to capture strong men and send them into the army?
Song Liyun, like the people around him, was dumbfounded.
Song Dekui rushed over, grabbed his quilt, and gasped: "The Zhenbei Army is repairing the border village and needs laborers. They are gathering people to go. When they see no one wants to go, they grab them by force.
Hey! Let me tell you, building border villages is hard work, much harder than building roads outside the county town.
It takes several months to repair it. I don’t know if I can live to go home after repairing it. Now even if I am given fifty cents a day, no one will do it.
Come on, Daping, you pick up Xiao An, and we can hide behind and then go to the county seat."
Song Liyun did not move. Her eyes showed joy. She was worried that she had nowhere to go. It was better to build a border village than to become a refugee.
Song Zhenping also looked happy, he had also thought of this.
To build a border village, of course you have to go to the border village!
If he didn't know Yun'er's plan, he might think it was a chore.
But things are different now. Xiubianzhai is not only safer than being a refugee, but you can also make money, which is a huge good thing.
"Uncle Kui, I'm going to Xiubian Village!" Song Zhenping said.
Song Dekui's hand holding the quilt suddenly stopped, his eyes widened: "Daping, aren't you stupid? Do you know what Zhenbei Army means? What do you mean by Xiubianzhai?"
Song Zhenping shook his head: "I don't know, anyway, as long as there is food to eat! We are going!"
Song Dekui was stunned for a moment. Seeing that Song Zhenping and his sister didn't seem to be joking, he immediately bent down and stamped his feet in anxiety and shouted: "You are looking for trouble!"
Half an hour later, Song Liyun and Song Zhenping got into the trunk of a carriage, and there were several dejected people with them.
The crowd was making a lot of noise just now, and Song Liyun had already heard everything about the situation.
There were ten states in the Wu Dynasty, and Yunzhou where he was located was located in the far north, on the border.
The Zhenbei Army was stationed in the Xiashiguan area of Yunzhou, separated from the nomadic Dilu people by a vast Gobi grassland.
The two sides often fight wars, and there was a major war five years ago, with nearly 10,000 casualties, so everyone is afraid of going to the border.
Xia Shiguan is nearly 400 miles away from here, and it would take at least ten days to walk with these migrant workers.
The Zhenbei Army was working with the government to recruit workers. They had prepared a large number of troop transport carriages early, loaded up one carriage with people and left quickly.
As for why the Zhenbei Army went so far to recruit civilian men, even the small officials in Qingping Town couldn't explain it clearly.
He could only watch helplessly as the strange officers and soldiers grabbed and snatched his husband away.
Except for the Song brothers and sisters, everyone in the carriage was captured by force.
Xiao An leaned in Song Liyun's arms and stared closely at several soldiers wearing leather armor and holding waist knives outside the carriage.
Just now, the second sister and the eldest brother wanted to go to Xiubian Village, but because they had to take her with them, those fierce-looking people refused to agree, and said that they would only allow the eldest brother to go if they left her behind.
It was the second sister who said: Those who can abandon their brothers and sisters at will can also betray their trust at will, saying that people like them who fight in the battlefield should hate this even more.
If Xiao An was not kept, she would not go to build the border village.
Finally, those fierce people looked at the second sister and smiled before agreeing!
Song Zhenan felt that besides her brother, she now had another person who could protect her.
Unlike Xiao An who was happy to find another supporter, Song Zhenping's body was stiff and his face was gloomy, as if he was facing a formidable enemy. He didn't even notice Xiao An's sudden behavior of getting close to Song Liyun.
Song Zhenping knew clearly that these soldiers did not take a fancy to him, and they despised him for being too weak, and they despised having Xiao An as a burden.
It was Yun'er who showed up and spoke before they agreed. To be precise, it was Xiaoqi who led the team who agreed.
What are the reasons for this.
Even if Song Zhenping only grew up in the village, he would understand.
Because Yuner is a girl.
There were not many laborers willing to build border villages, and even fewer women.
For these soldiers who have been stationed at the border for many years, having one more girl at the border will make their lives more fun.
So although the soldiers thought the brother and sister wanted to take care of a sick child, Xiao Qi, the team leader, agreed because of the young girl Song Liyun's face.
Facing this situation, Song Liyun looked calm.
Beauty has always been a universal passport. Even in the chaotic apocalypse, handsome men and beautiful women are more likely to be accepted by bases everywhere.
It turned out that she had been working in a restaurant day and night for ten years doing menial work, washing dishes and chopsticks with alkaline water, and lacked maintenance of her hands and face, so she was not a beauty.
But her appearance can barely be considered delicate, especially her eyes and face, which are innocent and pitiful, and can arouse a man's desire to protect... If you say a few soft words, it will be a natural success.
Song Liyun chuckled in her heart. She also didn't expect that she would also use the "beauty trap" sometimes.
Just as the carriage Song Liyun was sitting in was about to move, a tall and thin figure rushed to the carriage panting, first threw the bedding into the carriage, and then climbed in with difficulty with his long and slender legs.
