Chapter 544: Being a Naughty Child in Troubled Times 7

Bai Qiu responded and opened the door to go into the inner room. It seemed that he was going to pack some luggage for his "brother", but in fact he was opening the door for Xiao Yun and Xiao Erhei.

The two of them stood at the door and rushed out when Bai Qiu opened the door. Bai Qiu pretended to reach out to stop them but failed, so he also went into the house wiping his tears.

Xiao Erhei ran straight to his parents, hugged Laohei's legs and cried, shouting that he didn't want his father to leave. The three of them hugged each other and cried.

Xiao Yun cried twice, then walked up to the two soldiers with a confused and curious look on his face, looking at the pastries in their hands.

The two soldiers looked at the little girl who walked in front of them, staring at her with her big watery eyes. One of them, who had a child, felt soft-hearted and picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to her.

"Here, eat. What's your name?"

"Yunyun~" Xiao Yun stretched out his chubby hand to take it without fear, and replied in a baby voice.

As she stuffed the food into her mouth, she asked incoherently, "Don't arrest my dad. He's a good man."

The soldier handing over the cakes smiled patiently and replied, "We're not catching bad guys. We're asking your father to join the army. Being a soldier is great. You have guns and you're as impressive as us."

Xiao Yun shook his head in confusion. "Being a soldier is not a good idea. The uncles in the village don't want to be soldiers."

The two soldiers exchanged glances, and the first one spoke up, "How do you know the uncles in the village don't want to be soldiers?"

"They're hiding~"

Xiao Yun responded along with what he said.

The two looked at each other again, their breathing became noticeably heavier, and their voices became softer. "Then do you know where they are hiding?"

He shook his head and said, "My parents won't let me tell you."

The soldier swallowed his saliva and coaxed in a low voice, "Just whisper it, uncle won't tell anyone else."

Xiao Yun blinked at him, and seeing him smile encouragingly at him, he said somewhat coaxedly, "The grandparents in the village said they went to Lotus Mountain~"

The two soldiers smiled, it was really effortless, they deserved to be promoted and make a fortune!

The three people who were still hugging each other and crying had no tears on their faces. Their expressions at this moment were exactly the same as theirs...

……

In the end, Lao Hei was taken away along with the other men in the village. The village was filled with crying late at night, and everyone went to the village chief's house to ask for advice.

Gun Gun and Bai Qiu, holding Xiao Yun and Xiao Erhei, also joined the crowd and listened to Village Chief Wang comforting everyone.

"Don't worry, even if someone is conscripted, they won't go to the battlefield right away. I and a few old brothers will go to the city tonight to see if Lian Sheng can help."

Wang Liansheng is the son of Wang Ganshun, who sold the property and land to Lao Hei. He works in the government and is the most promising person in the village.

The villagers around him calmed down a bit after hearing this, so Bai Qiu took advantage of the situation and said, "Village Chief, I'll go with you. My cousin works as a secretary for the county magistrate, and he's Commander Yao's brother-in-law, so maybe he can have some influence."

When everyone heard this, they all looked in their direction. Village Chief Wang's face was filled with surprise. If this was true, it would be much more effective than going to the city to find someone.

Bai Qiu also talked about how Fox Third was highly valued by the county magistrate and how the head of the Xiong family had some strong connections, and thus he became the backbone of the people in Dawang Village.

That night, Village Chief Wang and two elderly men from the village took Bai Qiu on a mule cart to meet up with the village chief from Xiaowang Village, and they set off for the county town overnight.

The other villagers had no choice but to disperse, and Xiao Yun and the other two went home to wait for news. In fact, they were calling Fox Old Third to inform him in advance and tell him about their plan.

Fox Lao San didn't expect that he would encounter another accident while he was sleeping soundly in the middle of the night, but there was nothing he could do since they were all family members, so he had to accept it.

When Bai Qiu and her group arrived in the city, she took them directly to Fox Lao San's residence.

Although I have never been here, I know where it is. It is easy to find. It is the third one in the alley behind the county government.

Fox Lao San lived in a private house with three main rooms. He didn't hire anyone. He usually used a simulated robot brought from the space to cook and clean. He put it back into the space button after use, so when he heard a knock on the door, he had to get up and open it himself.

Seeing them pretending to be stunned for a moment, he let them into the house. After listening to Bai Qiu's narration, he patted his chest and promised that he would do his best to help. However, it would be too rude to go to the county magistrate's mansion now. If he made people unhappy, he would be even more uncertain. It would be better to wait until dawn to ask to see the county magistrate.

Everyone also knew that this matter could not be rushed. Besides, they arrived at the county earlier than the conscripts, so they should still have time.

……

Back to Xiao Yun and the others, the village was even quieter the next morning than the day before. Xiao Yun and Xiao Erhei followed Gun Gun to the village chief's house, where they comforted each other and waited for news.

The village chief’s 48-year-old eldest son and two grandsons aged ten and eleven were also taken away, so he was actually more anxious than the villagers.

The village chief is called Wang Gancheng. He has four sons and three daughters. The second son died of illness when he just came of age. He had two daughters before he had the third son. Later, he had another daughter before he had the fourth son. Therefore, the age difference between the third and fourth sons and the eldest son is quite large. They and their grown-up grandchildren all hid in the mountains.

After waiting for the village chief and his men for the whole morning but they still didn't come back, Gungun took Xiao Yun and the others home. After lunch and a short rest, when they went out again, they saw the rest of the villagers gathered under the big willow tree.

The "mother and her two daughters" also came over. They greeted each other listlessly and looked absent-mindedly towards the village entrance. Even the children sat obediently beside their parents, lacking the liveliness of yesterday.

I thought the village chief and his men would be back in the afternoon, but unexpectedly the first people to arrive were the village chief's daughter-in-law from Xiaowang Village and the boy named Dunzi who came yesterday.

"Why are you here, Weizhong? Are your uncle and the others back?"

Old Mrs. Yang stood up and walked two steps forward, thinking that the old man had returned and was heading to Xiaowang Village first.

"Third Aunt, this is bad! The recruiters have discovered our people hiding in the mountains!"

"What!?"

"What's going on? How could it be discovered when it was hidden so well?"

"We're not allowed to talk about it. We don't even let the kids know. Could it be that someone couldn't help but come down to see their family?"

"Maybe some young wife was seen delivering something by the conscripts. Young people don't know what's important."

"I told you we can't hide together, otherwise we'll all be caught together..."

The confused crowd began to make wild guesses, and some even started complaining.

"That's enough! Stop talking!" Old Lady Yang shouted, and everyone shut up.

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Old Lady Yang turned to her niece-in-law and asked, "What's going on?"
