Chapter 546: Being a Naughty Child in Troubled Times 9

"Now you can tell me what's going on? Why are you all here?"

After everyone and the mule cart entered the yard, Fox Third asked again.

This time, Gungun spoke up: "The conscripts went out again today, heading straight for the mountains and capturing all the young and strong men hiding there."

Her tone was a little anxious but not too anxious. After all, there were no people from the Xiong family on the mountain. This attitude was just right. If she went too far, it would arouse other people's suspicion.

"What? This is all because of this incident. I just made an agreement with the county magistrate to go to the conscription officer to use his connections to get the old and young ones back first. After all, the other party's goal is definitely not to send these old and weak to the battlefield. I guess they just want to force them to reveal the whereabouts of the young and strong ones.

I haven't even started the operation yet, but someone has already found it. I don't know who leaked it, but it's like losing both the wife and the army~"

As Fox Third spoke, he glanced at Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun hugged his rolling thighs and glared at him implicitly.

Really, why are you looking at her at this time? So what if it was what she said? She doesn't feel guilty at all.

If she doesn't say anything, others won't say anything either. This is the other party's purpose, and she is helping those people suffer less.

Xiao Yun was thinking righteously, when he suddenly felt like someone was watching him from behind.

She didn't look back, but instead swept her consciousness over and saw an old man in his sixties or seventies staring at her back.

Although his eyes were not aggressive, they were somewhat complicated, as if he knew her.

"Jia Duo Bao, do you know who that old man in the gray coat and holding the pipe is?"

Jia Duo Bao immediately replied, "I know. It's Wang Ganshun, the village chief of Xiaowangzhuang. He has some connection with this body of yours. The Xiaowangzhuang villager who brought your original body back in your previous life was his son, and also the grandfather of the kid named Dunzi. This old man is Dunzi's great-grandfather."

The village chief of Xiaowangzhuang... Xiao Yun pursed his lips. Come to think of it, their family has some connection with himself. After all, he was the savior of his original body in his previous life.

But the problem is that they probably don’t know each other in this life. What’s with that look in the old man’s eyes?

The other party should not have seen her before. Could it be that she looks like an old friend of his?

Wait! Old friend...

"Jia Duo Bao, please help me check and see if you can find any information about why the original body's parents appeared near Xiao Wangzhuang.

They should not be from Xiaowangzhuang, otherwise even if those people died, the higher-ups would not let Xiaowangzhuang go.

Since they are not from that side but are running there, it may not be a coincidence. This Xiaowangzhuang...could it have anything to do with the Red Army?

And Dunzi, he was only eleven or twelve years old when he was slaughtered in his previous life. How could he find a team so easily? Even if he did find a team, it's not normal for him to join so easily.

Jiaduobao: "Hasn't Lao Hui from the Special Affairs Section here already searched for them? The information about the original body's parents was destroyed long ago. Just like you said, if there were any records, Xiaowangzhuang wouldn't be safe until now.

It's such a chore to keep guessing. If all else fails, you can just search their souls and you'll know everything."

Xiao Yun rolled his eyes. "This is an ordinary person, not a cultivator. Their sea of consciousness is fragile. If I search their soul, they will immediately become a living dead. There is no grudge or hatred, and they are even grateful to me. Isn't this a sin?"

But your suggestion does give me a direction. It's not impossible to ask him directly. I also have a hypnosis technique that I can use if I have the chance."

"Yes, yes, I forgot you could hypnotize me. This is indeed safer."

What Jiaduobao didn't say was that it could also go directly to ask the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao of this world had something to ask of it. The other party wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the underworld so that the souls of this world would have a home and could be reincarnated again, so it was very friendly to it and Xiao Yun.

This world was not connected to the underworld before. After death, some souls would directly dissipate and return to heaven and earth, while some were stronger or had obsessions, like the original body and the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang. They would continue to wander in the world until a certain period of time and then dissipate.

However, since there are other methods, there is no need to seek the way of heaven. After all, the more you use favors, the less they will be used. It is better to wait until the critical moment to use them.

Xiao Yun was talking to Jiaduobao via telepathy, and Fox Lao San and the others also came up with a solution that was not a good solution. Since those young and strong men had been arrested, it would definitely be impossible to use money to get them back.

Putting aside whether they can afford the money, those who come down to recruit soldiers have quotas, and the number of people now may not be enough, and the other side will not be willing to release people.

So they could only settle for the second best and see if they could get the old and the young back first. The young and strong would use their connections to keep them together as much as possible so that they would not be separated. Then they would use their connections to find a way to get them back.

If that doesn't work, find a way to do logistics and stay behind the rear or something, as long as you don't rush to the front and be cannon fodder.

Afterwards, Fox Lao San took the village heads of the two villages to the county government, and the others stayed behind temporarily. It would be bad for too many people to go, so it would be better to wait for news in this yard.

It was unknown how long they would be gone. It was almost five o'clock at this time. Bai Qiu went out to buy some rice and vegetables and cooked the meal before dawn to avoid having to stay up late with an empty stomach.

After everyone finished their meal, they waited for more than two hours, and it was almost nine o'clock before someone came back.

The news they brought back was mixed. It turned out that they followed the county magistrate directly to the county's temporary conscription office. Relying on County Magistrate Zhao's face, they negotiated with those people and released the elderly and children from Wangzhuang and Dawangzhuang. When they came back, they brought everyone out, but they didn't bring them back and asked them to wait at the intersection.

There were dozens of men, young and old, from both villages, totaling more than a hundred people. They came here with such a large force that the yard couldn't accommodate them all.

Xiao Yun pretended to be happy and pulled Gungun, "Mom, let's go quickly and find Dad~"

Xiao Erhei followed closely behind, pulling his mother out, and Gungun also cooperated with a happy look on his face.

Then, seeing that Fox Third and the two village chiefs Wang had heavy expressions on their faces, Bai Qiu pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Xiao Yun also looked at him and said innocently, "Uncle, why didn't Dad come back with you?"

As soon as Fox Third came back, he told them that Lao Hei stayed there, but the show had to be complete, so they certainly couldn't predict the future.

The third fox's eye twitched, and he complained in his heart that he really couldn't compare to these four in acting skills, especially Xiao Yun, who was really flexible. He could call his father and mother so smoothly, and even called him cousin. Although he was very happy in his heart, he was really a little hesitant to respond.

The other party is my master, and we have a contract. I always feel that taking advantage of him is insubordination. It's so exciting~
