"Take care, come back when you have time."

"Okay."

After sending Aning out the back door, they also avoided the people who came in front. The back door led to the street, and it was closer for Aning to walk back to the store from here. Qi Wanfeng closed the door only after seeing Aning's figure walking away.

Thinking of husband's place, Qi Wanfeng wanted to go over and take a look, but then he saw husband coming in from the front.

Seeing husband's expression, he knew that the people who came outside gave husband a headache. At this time, the people who came to the house were just looking for money to borrow, and he didn't know whether husband had lent it or not. But whether husband lent it or not, he would listen to husband.

"Husband, has the person who came in front left?" he asked.

"Well, let housekeeper Wu see the guest off." It's really hard to say! I thought the people in the compound were already annoying enough, but I didn't expect that his grandmother was the worst of the worst. Cao Xiangnan's face was dark when he thought about it. He

almost couldn't get away, so he left it to Butler Wu to deal with it.

"Wanfeng, do you think we should move?" Cao Xiangnan sat down, picked up the little Baoer who ran to him, hugged him and kissed him. Qi Wanfeng subconsciously looked at the little Baoer in her husband's arms, and asked with his eyes, if you are not afraid of Baoer crying, then move.

Following the evening breeze and seeing the baby in his arms, Cao Xiangnan had no choice but to surrender, "Okay, I was just kidding." Thinking of the days when Bao'er cried, it was really heartbreaking. He had to endure the two little guys sleeping in his and his wife's beds for several days before he coaxed the children back to their own room to sleep.

Lele had no problem, he went to his room with his little pillow in his arms with a wooden face. Little Bao'er still needs to be coaxed to sleep at night. Fortunately, the child is a little older now, has a full dinner, and does not need to get up in the middle of the night to feed. He can sleep until dawn. It is impossible to move every time some top-notch person comes? How many times would they have to move in a year? It is enough to coax their little darling babies, so moving is definitely not a good idea.

"I know you are joking." Qi Wanfeng smiled.

"..." Seeing the smile on his wife's face, Cao Xiangnan felt that his wife was watching someone in danger without helping. The little Baoer in his arms stared at him with a pair of dark eyes, as if he understood what he said. He kissed the child and told the child, "Dad was joking, we are not moving."

The child stared at him with a confused look, and his little face was full of seriousness. Cao Xiangnan almost raised his hand to swear to his baby.

Seeing his husband playing with Baoer, Qi Wanfeng touched his Lele. He didn't know why the child had such a serious face at such a young age. He had never seen his Lele laugh as much as Baoer, but his husband said a long time ago that his Lele was definitely a smart boy and told him not to worry.

In his heart, he was not worried. He just wanted his Lele to grow up happily like Baoer.

Cao Ruile looked up at his mother and met her eyes. His little face was expressionless and he lowered his head again. Qi Wanfeng thought that his Lele was embarrassed and reached out to touch the child's chubby little face.

When the deadline comes, those who can't pay the money will be in trouble. At this time, no matter whether you are willing or not, you will be arrested by the officials who come to the door and sent to the border with all the men.

The court has issued an order that those who disobey will be beheaded on the spot!

So at this time, even if you cry, you have to follow the officials. There are also those who are lucky enough to think they can escape, but in the end they are covered in blood on the spot.

The order comes from the court, and it is the local officials who execute it.

Zhao County Magistrate, who had taken off his official uniform, stood in front of the table. He was dressed in a white robe, elegant and weak. He stood in front of the table, holding a brush in his hand, and wrote a word on the rice paper, "Shan". After the last stroke fell, he put down the brush in his hand and took a look at the big word he wrote.

He also knew what was going on outside. He had not been out these days.

I still remember that when I was young, I wanted to be an official to make profits for the people. When you really come to this step, you know that there are things you have to do. If the country is gone, how can you talk about having a home on earth?

In the hearts of these people, they only know that they are going to die on the battlefield and are unwilling to go. What he, the prophet Zhao, has to do now is to send these people to the battlefield. The soldiers recruited at this time will not be sent to the battlefield immediately. They need to go through a period of training before they can go up. Some people scared themselves to death before going to the battlefield. This is not uncommon.

Life and death, sometimes, all depends on a person's luck. Even Zhao the Prophet cannot guarantee that these people can come back alive.

The recruited soldiers are all gathered. Wang Dahu received the order to send these people over. He had always hoped that their generals could go with them. In the end, he had to prepare to set off in disappointment and take these people with him.

"Don't blame the general." Liu Baishu knew what Wang Dahu was thinking when he saw his expression. He could always understand their generals. After all, their generals have retired and returned home for many years. They can't ask the generals to leave their brothers and children at home and go with them.

"I know." Wang Dahu nodded. He understood, but was a little disappointed.

Gan Weiqi also left with him. He didn't know where his brother had gone and whether he would come back to Caojia Village to find him. He left a message for his brother, asking him to find him when he came back. He believed that his brother would find him.

When Liu Baishu and Wang Dahu came to say goodbye to him, Cao Xiangnan knew that they were going to the border. At this time, he had no choice but to prepare a table of rich wine and food to see them off and wish them a safe return.

"Okay, brother, since you said so, we will definitely return safely." Wang Dahu drank a large bowl of wine, and he was reluctant to leave his brother. The happiest thing for him to come here was to drink and eat meat. When he thought about not having such good wine when he returned, he wanted to drink a second bowl after drinking a bowl, but his hand was held down.

Cao Gang, who was sitting there, had no expression on his face from beginning to end, and even looked more serious than before. He picked up the wine on the table, looked around at the brothers sitting in front of him, and said, "Come back alive."

"Yeah." Nothing is more powerful than being alive.

Everyone was reluctant to leave. Everyone had their own responsibilities and missions, and things they had to accomplish. Cao Xiangnan couldn't stop them. He just thought that Liu Baishu and the others would be in danger of death if they went to the battlefield. He was reluctant to leave these brothers who had been with him for such a long time.

"Remember the stories I told you. If you encounter any difficulties, think about them more. If you change your mind, you may be different." Cao Xiangnan went forward and hugged these brothers one by one. He hoped that his brothers could return safely. "When you come back, we will sit together like now and drink and eat meat. I will prepare wine for you. Don't go home until you are drunk."

Wang Dahu, who usually has no control over his drinking, did not dare to drink too much this time. He drank a big bowl of wine and ate meat.

"Okay, it's a deal." Liu Baishu said.

Once on the battlefield, no one can be sure of their future. This time they will either come back alive or die on the battlefield. Each of them must be determined to die. But with this person in his life, he is satisfied whether he lives or dies.

It is inevitable that people will meet and separate.

As night fell, he also sent away the guests who came to his house. When he thought of Liu Baishu and Wang Dahu going back to the border, Cao Xiangnan felt uncomfortable. "They will come back safely." Qi Wanfeng understood her husband's heart and comforted him.

At this time, Cao Xiangnan deeply realized that the war of this era had just begun.

"Well, I know, they will." He held Wanfeng in his arms with both hands. His only wish in this life was to live a good life with Wanfeng and the children. It would be best if the world was peaceful, the people were healthy, and the relatives and friends around them were all together. When they were free, they would get together to drink, eat meat, and laugh.

Where there is war, there is death. No one wants to see death, but it is inevitable.

In their hearts, they hoped that their relatives and friends could return safely.

In the nearby villages, there were not too many men from Caojia Village who were taken away to serve in the army. This was because many families in Caojia Village had separated, and many families were not included in the conscription requirements this time. Some families took thirty taels of silver in exchange for their heads and did not have to go to the battlefield.

The few who were taken away were families that were not in harmony with the village. At this time, the benefits of being a good person or not were revealed.

On the contrary, some nearby villages were filled with cries of grief.

Those who were pushed out of the family to serve in the army were actually abandoned by the whole family. There were also some who left with a burden and were discouraged. If they came back alive, they might not miss their former relatives.

At this time, family affection is thinner than paper, and people still think more about themselves.

In the early morning of the next day, it was still dark, and the road could just be seen in the gray sky. People who were traveling were about to leave. They were about to say goodbye to this short-term place where they had been, where they had beautiful memories and were full of hope for the future.

"Baishu, I originally thought that we could stay here until we grow old." Wang Dahu said to the person standing next to him. He really wanted to live in Caojia Village from now on. Even though they were both men, it did not affect his desire to live with Liu Baishu.

Liu Baishu said, "Hmm," and said, "I know, we will come back."

The two looked at each other, and their eyes were full of each other.

Gan Weilin, who took a step forward, didn't know that the two people behind him were so affectionate. The two people behind him looked at each other and followed.

The sound of horse hooves rang out...
