    ?

    It¡¯s three o¡¯clock in the morning, it¡¯s meal time, and almost every household in the village is there.

    As the village chief, Yun Lin walked towards the center of the village carrying a drum as big as a washbasin. The drum was used to ring to summon the villagers.

    Originally Yunjing wanted to follow, but Yunlin stopped him and told him to stay at home and ignore everything.

    The reason is that Yunjing is still young, so he should be less involved in adult matters.

    In fact, in Yunlin's heart, Yunjing is now a scholar and the kind who has a reputation, and is not suitable to participate in this kind of "fighting and killing" thing.

    ??It¡¯s hard to get a scholar in the family. You can¡¯t go back on the smoke coming from the ancestral graves, right?

    The idea of ??small farmers is just that, very real.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The most important thing is that his grandson has now passed the imperial examination, which is a great joy. However, the villagers have family members who want to serve in the army. After all, it is not something to be happy about. What if the villagers find out about Yunjing's imperial examination?  , the comparison between the two can easily arouse the resentment of the villagers.

    After becoming the village chief over the years, I have to say that Yun Lin¡¯s ideas have become more sophisticated.

    Grandpa repeatedly insisted not to let him go, so Yunjing had no choice but to give up.

    Children are not sensible. When Yun Dong, Yun Xi and others heard that the villagers were to be summoned, they thought it would be fun to watch, so they followed them shouting.

    In the end, Yunjing was the only one left in the family.

    Fortunately, he can 'see' the scene without going there, so he doesn't have to worry about it

    Yun Lin carried a small drum and came to the middle of the village. Under the big apricot tree, the broken branches chopped off by the disciples of the Feng Dao Sect were still vaguely visible.

    There were a few children with runny noses playing here. Yunlin said to them: "Gouzi, where are your adults? Go and ask them to come here and tell you that I have something to inform you."

    The conscription could not be changed and the villagers had to be notified. Once Yunlin made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

    "It's the village chief, grandpa, okay, we'll go right away"

    Several children dispersed in a hurry.

    Handing the small drum to Yunshan beside him, Yunlin motioned for him to hang it on a branch and beat it, and Yunshan did so.

    ¡°Dong dong dong, dong dong dong¡­

    A rather rhythmic drum beat sounded, echoing over the village. It was obvious that Yunshan had been doing this kind of thing a lot over the years, and they all had a sense of rhythm.

    "Uncle, what's going on? Play the drum again. Everyone is very busy during this period." A villager carrying a hoe and preparing to go to the fields came over and asked after hearing the sound of the drum.

    If it¡¯s not a big deal, he doesn¡¯t plan to stay. The work in the fields is important.

    There was no smile on Yunlin's face, and he said: "If it's something important, it's important. You wait here for now. When the villagers come, I'll tell you, don't leave."

    Seeing Yun Lin¡¯s serious face, the villager nodded, found a place to sit down, and waited slowly.

    The drums were still beating, and some villagers came over after hearing the news. They asked Yun Lin what happened, but Yun Lin didn't say anything. He just waited for everyone to come and let them know.

    The villagers gathered more and more, and many of them were still carrying rice bowls, squatting beside them to cook rice, and not forgetting to chat and chat with the people around them. The scene was quite noisy and lively.

    About half an hour later, the villagers had almost gathered, and Yun Lin signaled Yun Shan to stop playing the drum.

    Then, he stood at a higher place with a serious expression and said: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me. What I want to say is very important. I am not joking. Listen clearly. What I am going to do next is not a joke."  !¡±

    People became quiet one after another. They didn¡¯t know what was going on and didn¡¯t care too much. In fact, life in the village has gradually gotten better over the years, and nothing major happened, so the villagers did not have an urgent mentality.

    After everyone calmed down, Yunlin said again: "Listen carefully, I will repeat it again. What I am going to say next is not a joke."

    After a pause, he got down to business and said: "A few days ago, the imperial court ordered me to inform everyone that the imperial court is recruiting soldiers in our Xiaoxi Village. Those who are over sixteen and under forty years old are not only children.  Every family member has to serve as a soldier"

    Hearing what he said, the expressions of the surrounding villagers who were originally relaxed suddenly changed and they exploded on the spot.

    "Conscription? What are you doing with the conscription? Are you worried that there is going to be a war?"

    ¡°That¡¯s right, there¡¯s no news at all, it¡¯s too sudden!¡±

    "I heard that being a soldier is very dangerous.nbsp; Yunjing was at home. Although he did not go to the scene, he had a unique perspective and had a panoramic view of the situation there, which made him feel quite uncomfortable.

    In this era, there is a saying that a good man should not be a soldier. An adult man is the strong laborer of the family and the backbone of the family. If such a strong laborer leaves his job to serve as a soldier, the rest of the work will fall on other family members.  It will make an already difficult life even worse.

    ??????????????????????????????? It¡¯s very possible that you will never come back once you go. They are all raised by your mother¡¯s biological father. Who is willing to send a child who has been raised through all kinds of hardships to a dangerous battlefield?

    But it¡¯s no good if you don¡¯t go. The court¡¯s orders cannot be resisted, otherwise the consequences will only be more serious!

    Now Yunjing¡¯s thinking radiation range is enough to include the entire Xiaoxi Village within the scope of observation. Those villagers dispersed and behaved differently after returning home.

    Some families are gloomy, some families have quarrels, and some families have people who take the initiative to stand up and take responsibility

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????:

    Having a panoramic view of those scenes, Yunjing felt quite uncomfortable.

    Once again, Yunjing felt extremely disgusted with the war (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
