Pulling his hand away and walking quickly, God knows he also imagined that Zhong Ruoshui would walk in the opposite direction to Hu Tu!But the place where he sells animal skins is in the same direction as his clinic!

"Hey, have you heard that the imperial court is going to recruit strong men, and every household in every village and county is going to recruit an adult male into the army!" At the entrance of the market, Hu Tu heard Er Leng from the bun shop say, and there were still people around Full of people listening to gossip.Hu Tu immediately stopped, and squeezed Zhong Ruofeng in.

"Er Leng, here are five buns!" Hu Tu casually picked up a bun and handed it to Zhong Ruofeng, then picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth, asking vaguely, "Did you just say that the news about enlistment is reliable?"

"Hey, you took two, I'll just pack three for you!" Er Leng picked up three and wrapped them in buns and handed them to Hu Tu, saying, "Of course it's true! Everyone in the county sticks to the emperor's bag." The list! It will definitely reach us in the afternoon!"

Hu Tu handed the steamed stuffed bun to Zhong Ruofeng, and then asked, "Why are you conscription? We and Langxuan Kingdom are fighting each other? Why, Your Majesty, he finally figured out that he wants to eat Langxuan?"

"Hey! It's good to eat! After fighting for so many years, I don't know if we ghosts can't beat Langxuan! Isn't it good for our master to show his power now!"

"No, no, I heard from one of my cousins ​​in the army that Langxuan and Huangye have formed an alliance! The two combined to fight one of us! The emperor issued an order to recruit troops to prepare for the confrontation between the two countries!"

"Really? But we are not afraid. Our country is rich and the people are strong, and the soldiers are strong and horses are strong, so we are afraid of them? Let's accept them together!"

Hu Tu gave the money and took Zhong Ruofeng away thoughtfully, Zhong Ruofeng followed him without saying a word.The emperor ordered conscription, and their family must go to one, four males, only Zhong Ruofeng can see and fight.

Things are a little difficult to deal with, Hu Tu thought.

"I'm here. Take this bun. You can buy some beef at noon and eat together. Remember not to give in foolishly when someone kills you! Also, don't tell Ruoshui what you heard today. If you can, just keep it secret." Keep it secret, don't let him worry..." Hu Tu looked at Zhong Ruofeng, who nodded understandingly.

Unfortunately, what they didn't know was that Zhong Ruoshui already knew about it.

Zhong Ruoshui is the only master in the village, what does the master represent?It is the supreme intellectual!The first time the village head received the news, he rushed to the school and told Zhong Ruoshui the news.

After hearing this, Zhong Ruoshui's face was serious, he sighed heavily, shook his head, walked to the plum tree at the entrance of the school and sat for the whole morning.Didn't even attend class.Along with it, Zhong Xiaochong was also worried all morning, although he didn't know what happened, but when his father was worried, he also worried.

In the end, Zhong Ruoshui made a difficult decision, that is - go home, pack up your money and prepare to run away!

The author has something to say: Keke, yesterday I promised asd to kiss the second update, but I broke my promise and I'm sorry!Really, girls are very troublesome, once a month will kill me, the pain is so painful that I can't get up on the bed and I have been sleeping for a long time... and the pain will last until the end, even the painkillers use......

Don't be disappointed with me, everyone, this time is really a special situation!please forgive me~~~

58. Running away......

In the afternoon, Zhong Ruoshui didn't teach, so he let the children get out of school, and then ran home with Zhong Xiaochong.Roll up your sleeves as soon as you get home, the father and son are working hard!

When Hu Tu and Zhong Ruofeng came back, they saw such a scene——Zhong Ruoshui panted and put two bundles about the size of bugs on the wooden table in the front hall. The wooden table seemed unable to bear the weight of the bundles. There was a heavy "creak" sound.Zhong Xiaochong carried all kinds of bacon that had been marinated in winter, and neatly stacked them into the porcelain urn that was specially used for bacon.

"Eh? You guys are back? Hurry up, Hu Tu take all the things you need to bring in your room, just leave the unnecessary and useless ones, there is no place for you to throw them on the road! Brother, those animal skins that are not sold out I put it all in that big wooden box for you, go and see if there is anything else you want to bring, let’s hurry up! Fortunately, I am usually stingy, and the money I save is enough for us to run away!" Zhong Ruoshui was busy running around Don't forget to urge the two people who just came back to help quickly.

"Run, run?" Hu Tu was really confused, and asked in a daze.

"Haven't you heard! The imperial court is going to conscript soldiers! Every household is going to conscript an adult man, why don't you run away and wait to be conscripted?!" Zhong Ruoshui stood on tiptoe and poked Hu Tu's forehead.

When Zhong Ruofeng heard this, he went back to his room without saying a word, and went to pack his things!Hu Tu was taken aback, it turned out that he knew about it a long time ago, and he was ready to escape... Touching his nose, Hu Tu hurried back to his room to pack up his things.

"Master, why is there such a commotion in your room? What are you making a fuss about?" the aunt in the next room yelled from outside the fence.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that the house hasn't been tidied up for a few days, let's clean it up!" Zhong Ruoshui raised his neck and shouted out the door.

"So it's like this, our house hasn't been cleaned for a long time, maybe I'll clean it up in two days." The aunt walked away while talking to herself, and she had to go home to cook!

"Hoo~" Zhong Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief, wiped off the sweat from his head, and saw Zhong Xiaochong sitting beside him panting tiredly from the corner of his eyes. Didn't say either.

"Xiao Chong, go, take a melon and sit at the gate to rest. You are not needed here. Anyway, your uncle and uncle are here, so let's have a rest." Zhong Ruoshui picked up a melon soaked in cold water and stuffed it into the clock. Xiao Chong's hand, pushing him out to rest.Zhong Xiaochong raised his head and looked at his father for a while, then nodded and went obediently. He has to run away tonight, so it's better for him to take a rest to gather some energy!

Finally, when the moon was in the middle of the sky, almost everyone in the village fell asleep, and Zhong Ruoshui's family got up lightly, put the big and small bags that had been packed a long time ago on the ox cart, and spread some hay to cover them .Almost every household in the village has such an ox cart, which is used to load goods to the city for the market in summer and autumn, and Zhong Ruoshui's family is no exception.After all the things were loaded into the cart, Zhong Ruofeng walked in front and pulled the oxen away, and Zhong Ruoshui and the others followed slowly behind the oxcart. They dared not get on the cart and could not drive the oxen, for fear of making a noise. After waking up, the villagers will not be able to leave.

"Father, will we come back?" Zhong Xiaochong asked in a low voice. He grew up here, and all his memories are related to this small village that smells of wine every day. It is the last thing to leave here. The one who gave up was him.

"Father doesn't want to lie to you. In fact, I don't know if I can come back. When we leave when the imperial court enlists, people in the village will be somewhat ignorant and suspicious..." Zhong Ruoshui answered softly, holding his son , looking at him with guilt in his eyes.Xiaochong's friends are all here, and the aunts and aunts in the village love him too. For him, this place is his home and his root, but now his father took him away from home.

Zhong Xiaochong bowed his head and remained silent. No matter how mature he is, he is actually a six-year-old child. He will be sad, reluctant, and want to cry when he leaves home... Zhong Ruoshui hugged him with some distress He, Xiaochong is very sensible, from the time he started packing up to leaving now, he never asked Zhong Ruoshui why he had to leave, and even offered to help him very sensiblely.Hu Tu touched Xiaochong's head distressedly, and glanced at Zhong Ruoshui's puzzled face. The imperial conscripts were not to capture slaves to build palaces and mausoleums. Why were they so afraid that they could be said to be--fleeing?

"Don't look at me like that. I'm just afraid that one of us will never come back after being conscripted. It's scary. I'm afraid, so I choose to run away." Zhong Ruoshui turned his head to avoid Hu Tu's sight, a little awkward said.

"But, among the three of us, only the dumb will be selected, right? Do you think the dumb will die on the battlefield with his skill and martial arts?" Hu Tu still stared at Zhong Ruoshui suspiciously.

"Hey! I'm just afraid of something! I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of ten thousand! If something happens, you will pay me a big brother!" Zhong Ruoshui stopped looking at Hu Tu, and said, "No matter what you do If you ask me, I won’t open my mouth.”Hu Tu choked up and fell silent.Zhong Ruoshui is actually not afraid of conscription, what he is afraid of is that if one accidentally meets an "old friend" in the army and sees through Zhong Ruofeng's identity, then he really can't die soon enough!In this life, he didn't want to meet them again, not even one of them.So he chose to run away as a coward.

The atmosphere became a little heavy, and at this moment the ox cart stopped, and the three of them only heard Zhong Ruofeng say "Get in the car" before they realized that they had already walked a long way from the village gate.Zhong Ruoshui looked at Hu Tu unnaturally, and said, "Let's stop being awkward, how old are you, and this will have a bad influence on Xiao Chong!"

"Who's messing with you! I don't have time to mess with you! Xiaochong, I'll pick you up and get into the carriage!" Without looking at Zhong Ruoshui, Hu Tu picked up Xiaochong and put him on the bullock cart.Zhong Ruoshui was feeling depressed, when suddenly his waist tightened, and he turned to see Hu Tu with an unkind expression on his face, saying to him, "You still want me to hug you before you go up!" Zhong Ruoshui lifted it up, and Zhong Ruoshui climbed onto the bullock cart cooperatively, then turned around and stretched out his hand to Hu Tu with a smile on his face.

Hu Tu rolled his eyes at him, but when he was about to reach out his hand, someone lifted his back.Zhong Ruoshui pulled him up.

Hu Tu's face was a little red, but fortunately it was dark.
