Coming to the town today was out of Ji Mo's plan. Knowing that moving to the town would be hopeless to expand his business, he didn't bother to silently calculate any statistics. He walked around the street casually and didn't see anything new, so he turned his head and went where Came from Lao Zhi's shop, just in time to hear the tail end of the conversation between the two.

On the way back, Ji Mo kept asking Uncle Li about conscription.

Uncle Li was annoyed by the question: "Why, you still want to be a soldier!"

"No, no, of course not."

Ji Mo is not stupid, just looking at the surrounding people who are afraid of this way, he knows that this is definitely not a good way, besides, his mission has nothing to do with this!

Uncle Li gave him a blank look, probably meaning "I don't want to ask anything."

"Isn't this a precautionary measure?" Ji Mo said awkwardly. He knew that his problems were a little too much, but he was also very helpless. He was used to the information explosion in the information age, and he came to this kind of closed mountain village. , I have no way to know anything, I can only hear some short gossips from parents all day long, trivial and boring, but I have to listen to it, if there is a news broadcast now, Ji Mo promises that he will like it very much.

Sitting at home and caring about world affairs is the common attitude of people in the information age.

Uncle Li didn't train him this time, but he still had some ideas when he heard that "prevention of problems before they happen", or it just strengthened his ideas.

The next half a month was very peaceful, and Ji Mo had forgotten his previous worries about conscription. When he was collecting firewood in the forest today, he was already very close to the neighboring village, and he heard the noise of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the neighboring village. , After watching for a while, I found that something seemed to happen in the neighboring village, surrounded by some people who seemed to be soldiers.

He looked at it for a while, but didn't see anything. After thinking about it, he turned his head and ran back, like a rabbit being chased by a hound, and quickly ran back into the yard.

Uncle Li was in the kitchen, when he saw Ji Mo running back empty-handed, he scolded him, "Is this kicked out by a mouse?"

"Master, Master, I saw that something happened in the neighboring village, surrounded by a group of soldiers. Is it time to conscript?"

In ancient times, there was no such thing as voluntary self-consciousness in conscription. If there were not enough soldiers, they would just pull people away.

Ji Mo has never seen the real version, but he has heard about it. After all, Guashan Village experienced a conscription, which can be regarded as a major event in the history of the village. Those who escaped the conscription will always talk about it, as if they can Said that he has also seen the world.

"Shall we run?"

Living in the same room, Ji Mo knew that Uncle Li had gathered some things after he came back that day. Uncle Li looked at Ji Mo who was in a panic, and scolded him with a serious face. When Ji Mo thought they would not move, Uncle Li Turning around, he went back to the house, took out the bag, threw a small one to Ji Mo, and carried the big one on his back. The small box for the paint was inside the big bag.

He went to the kitchen to pack all the ready-made food, and walked out with Ji Mo, "Go, go hide in the town."

This is also a helpless thing. There are really no continuous mountains and tall trees in the mountain village. If you run outside, it is too conspicuous in the wilderness that is almost plain, and you can't run far at all.

Rather than running around all over the mountains, it is better to walk from the town. Generally, conscription will not disturb the town too much. If not, it is much more convenient to walk out from there.

The roads in the town are often walked, one big and one small two, lock the door and go out. It was still early, and many people were still having breakfast at home. They didn't pay attention to the movement outside. Uncle Li didn't say hello to anyone. When you meet someone, you will go far away, and you will walk forward with Ji Mo.

Ji Mo's legs were flying upside down quickly. When he passed by the door of his own house, he glanced there and quickened his pace cruelly. Let's not talk about whether the neighboring village really conscripted soldiers, just say that the members of their big family, let's go It's not easy to leave, calling someone is just a waste of time, and it may even implicate Uncle Li.

He gritted his teeth and followed Uncle Li's footsteps, and arrived at He Laozhi's place in the town. Uncle Li came over and said to hide. He Laozhi weighed the money that Uncle Li gave him, and nodded in agreement.

There is a basement in He Laozhi's shop. These days, every household is not stupid. If there is any condition, they will find a place to hide things or something. He Laozhi's basement was originally just in case. with some food.

"It's not a big place, you stay here first, I'll bring you something to eat, and we'll see if it's a conscription."

For the sake of money, He Laozhi is still easy to talk, Ji Mo's eyes are full of gratitude, but Uncle Li is not so kind, behind the hypocritical smile, he is all stern, in case there is something wrong, Guaranteed to die first is definitely He Laozhi.

At noon, the news was confirmed, it was conscription, and what was even more unfortunate than conscription was that something happened to Yang Feng.

"It's also unlucky. The tomb robber was injured at home. Before he had time to get rid of his things, his things were turned out. This is red-eyed. It is said to be a prince's tomb. I don't know how many good things. Those soldiers, where did you see them?" Pay a few big bucks, no, follow along, for a while, nothing will happen in the town, and the nearby villages are fairly stable, do you want to continue hiding, or take advantage of this time to go far away?"

He Laozhi revealed the news, the tendency in the words was obvious, and it was aimed at the latter.

Uncle Li's hands are loose, not to mention eating meat every day, eating it every three to five times, and he hasn't saved much money, no oil and water, and he still takes risks if he keeps people.

His friendship with Uncle Li is not so good.

You don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum—it's clear at one point, Uncle Li has been through the rivers and lakes for a long time, he is obedient and listens to the sound, and he didn't know what He Laozhi meant, so he said immediately: "Let's go right away."

He Laozhi didn't know who sold Uncle Li's paper figurines to, but Uncle Li knew it, especially the special paper figurines. Man, he has never done it twice, so he is not worried.

After lunch, Uncle Li took Ji Mo away. The town is relatively bustling with people coming and going, and there are many people coming and going every day. Going out at this time of the afternoon is not too conspicuous.

"Master, where are we going?"

Ji Mo was a little uneasy, he thought about going outside, but suddenly, this came out, this is really...

He had a premonition that maybe he would never come back again.

"Go anywhere, go first."

Uncle Li didn’t have any idea either. The maps these days are all secrets. He is an ordinary person, so he doesn’t know much. Once he took Ji Mo away, he disappeared without a trace. Then he found a nice-looking village to stay It was already a year later.

I have been on the road for almost a year, and I haven’t done any paper figurine business. Uncle Li was lucky. He learned a little carpentry on the way, and he was able to make a small stool himself. It also looks quite solid.

After settling down again, Uncle Li didn’t tell anyone that he was a paper maker and was going to change his career. It’s also because carpentry is more expensive and popular. Of course, if you have a suitable paper man business, you can also do it. Well, it's just that we should keep a low profile for the past two years, lest Yang Feng find out about him.

"Come on, master, what a skill you are, carpentry is nothing, everyone can do it, it's not rare!"

At first, Ji Mo thought that Uncle Li was pretending to be a carpenter, but when he saw that he was really studying this, he became anxious and said this insincerely. In his heart, he actually thought that a carpenter was better than a paper maker Yes, tie paper, except for the last one, the other two seem to have no difficulty!

Asking himself, Ji Mo felt that he could do it himself, but it might not be very beautiful, because he was too young and not strong enough to bend bamboo strips.

"It's good, it's not bad luck!"

Uncle Li was in a good mood at first, although he still couldn't let go of his old job, but the money he earned was no different. Seeing Ji Mo's anxious look, he immediately wondered, what kind of magic is this kid? Do you like paper so much?

"Master, this carpenter's job is not easy to do. It's easy to hurt people without cutting the ground with knives and axes. There are only one carpenter. We have no advantage. We can't compete with their local carpenters. Paper is different. Yes, I have seen that there is no paper figurine in this village. Master, if you are interested in carpentry, we can make a coffin by the way, add paper figurines to the coffin, and get some paper money out, and we will work together. Maybe just like the coffin shop in the town, making a lot of money..."

Ji Mo spoke so frothyly that the stars flew all over the place, and his excited expression seemed to be able to soar into the sky today. Uncle Li listened and thought about it, but it was true. His carpentry work is very ordinary, I am afraid it is not as good as It's really not easy for those apprentices who are two or three years old to grab business, but if it's a coffin shop, coffin, coffin, they can get promoted and get rich!

A pat on the thigh: "Okay, let's work hard towards the coffin shop!"

Uncle Li made up his mind here, but Ji Mo was stunned. Uh, as for the coffin shop, is the main task still the paper maker?

Finding out the virtual screen and looking at it, he found that the main task has not changed, and Ji Mo didn't know if he was going to be happy.

Generally speaking, the difficulty of getting started as a paper maker is not high, and there is almost no threshold. He has learned this very easily. If there are a few more points, the professional knowledge will be full. Although I don’t know what will happen after the full point, But, there must be a new change. It would be a pity if he gave up at this point. God knows how much professional knowledge a carpenter needs. Ji Mo felt that he couldn't afford to wait.

He didn't want to give up halfway and start over from another beginning.

However, the unchanged mainline mission also made him realize that if Uncle Li really changed his career this time, his mainline mission here will remain the same, whether he wants to say goodbye to other masters, or rely on his own research in the future, and slowly change those few tasks. Points to pile up?

A sense of urgency, like a tight hoop, covered the top of his head, hooping Ji Mo, making him dare not relax.
