In a small adobe house, the kang is laid out to occupy a large area, and the mud floor is cleaned very clean.Apart from a few small tables and chairs, there is no wooden furniture in the room.On the other hand, the Tide against the wall has two layers of kang face, which looks like a cabinet, and a layer of floral cloth that has been placed for so many years that the color can no longer be seen clearly.The corners of the kang head of the adobe have been touched very smooth, and one can tell at a glance that it is a place where people live all the year round.

The quilts on the kang were neatly stacked in one corner, and a low table was placed on the hand-woven straw mat, with wine and vegetables neatly arranged on it.

An old man and a young man sat cross-legged facing each other, but because the other stools were too short, it was more aggrieved to sit and talk, so they seemed closer.

After a long time, the old man who had experienced so much wind and frost finally slowly raised his hand, picked up the wine bowl in front of him, and took a sip.

Exhaling a foul breath mixed with acrid alcohol, the village chief spoke.

"Your memory recovered?"

Qin Chao shook his head.

"Then you are ready to leave?"

Qin Chao nodded and shook his head.

"Then I understand."

The old village head's frowning face finally relaxed, and he let out a long gulp of wine.

"When I first saw you, I knew you were not simple, and I was always afraid that a group of people would come to your door.

To be honest, if you really die, as long as it doesn't affect our small village, I am used to life and death, old man, and I don't care much. "

After the old village chief finished speaking, there was another silence.

"In a few days, I will prepare your identity documents and go to the county to file a case for you. In the future, you will be considered a person of birth. It is impossible for you to stay in this small village for a long time with your strength. .

Just in the past few days, the county has also issued a notice that it is necessary to recruit strong men from various villages to deal with the intruding monsters. If other people go, they may die in vain, but there is some hope for you to go. "

For a few days, the village was as quiet as usual, but less peaceful.

Although the last time the village was visited by a monster was more than ten years ago, the atmosphere at that time was not as weird as it is now.

Finally, the old village head received a letter of receipt from the county.

Looking at the vacancies for names to be filled in, the old village head tapped the table a few times, already making plans in his mind.

People in the village were pulled together for a meeting that day.

There is nothing particular about the location of the venue for the meeting, just find a large enough open space.

"This year it's our village's turn to send people to the county again."

As soon as these words came out, the villagers who had been talking a lot just now fell silent.

Agricultural tax and corvee seem to be the shackles that farmers can never get rid of.

But the corvee here seems to be a little different.

In the memory of the villagers, the last time there was a dignitary in the county was a few years ago, but this tradition has existed since their birth.

Those who went to enlist, be they sons, brothers or fathers, have never returned since they left.

Someone went to the county to ask, but there was no response. I don't know where they went, whether they were dead or alive.

However, the people in the village generally understand that they should go to kill those monsters.

The village chief didn't estimate the fear gradually rising among the villagers across the street, and pronounced a few names word by word.

The few people who heard it sat on the ground limply, but they didn't dare to make any rebuttals.

Once they dared to refuse to use the village chief to issue orders, the county would send people to search the house, and then the whole family would be taken away without leaving any one behind.

Thinking about what they had planned for the past two days, these people who were limp on the ground suddenly felt something was wrong.

A man sat up from the ground.

"No, this is revenge. Although we have been discussing these days, we haven't done anything yet. Why did you choose us? I don't accept it."

The other three were crying and crying with their wives and children. When they heard this, they also stood up and asked the village chief for an explanation.

The village chief slowly raised his eyelids to glance at the few people.

"It's not over yet, the only person left is Qin Chao.

You have been scheming in vain these days, thinking that you want to occupy other people's land by relying on their numbers. "

When the village chief said this, he became very angry and stomped his feet.

"You don't need to be villains in vain, people leave by themselves, and the remaining... terraced fields are divided among the villagers.

Say goodbye to your family today, let's go together tomorrow morning! "

When the few people heard this, they naturally knew that there was no hope of repenting at all, so they really started crying with their wives and children in their arms.

The old village chief didn't want to pick these people, but not only were they dishonest, they were all wives and children, and they were considered queens, so they couldn't send young melon eggs there.

Qin Chao didn't care, he just watched the show after listening to it from a distance.

"It's finally time to start."

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Chao packed some luggage, but there was nothing in it, just dry food to cover up people's eyes and ears.

Watching the old village chief comforting a few villagers who went with him.

"You guys can go at ease. You don't know the rules in our village. As long as the man goes to serve the corvee, the wife can remarry, but the child can't change the surname, and no one in your house will touch anything. Naturally, when the child grows up, Their.

This time it happened to be some new fertile land, and you can see how fertile the land is. I decided to share more with your family. Let’s go, your wives and children will be taken care of by the village. "

Several men cried even more when they heard this.

The village head saw that it was getting late, so he gave the patrol captain a wink.

Although there are all kinds of rules and regulations, but people must be sent to the place safely to feel at ease. I am afraid that some people will run away alone without their wives and children.

The captain came over leading the carriage.

"Let's go, it's not early this day, or we can only rest in the wild if we don't make it to the village in the middle at night."

After pushing and shoving, several people knew that they couldn't escape and left the village.

Qin Chao also nodded and signaled to the village chief, then turned and left without hesitation.

On the two carriages, there were four people sitting in one, and only the patrol captain was driving the other carriage, with only Qin Chao sitting in the back.

Obviously Qin Chao was isolated.

Of course, Qin Chao didn't care about these at all, but just looked at the scenery on both sides with great interest.

It was the captain driving in front who spoke first.

"Brother Qin Chao is really talented. To be able to develop a good farmland on such a hillside is simply an act of a fairy."

Qin Chao also happened to want to know some things about the outside world. He naturally wanted to communicate more with the people in this village who had the most contact with the outside world, so he started talking.
