"It seems they got the news in advance and ran away. It doesn't matter, we are only responsible for arresting people anyway."
"Yes, sir."
Liu Xiaohua was sleeping soundly, even though the river in the village had dried up.
But their family owns a lot of those fields, and now they are considered half-landlords.
When the door was kicked open, Liu Xiaohua opened her eyes and saw a big knife across her neck.
"The government is recruiting soldiers. All outsiders, please stand back."
Liu Xiaohua didn't dare to move and watched the soldiers take Su Shuwen away.
Su Shuwen held the silver in his hand and kept saying that his family would pay and could pay double the amount.
But the soldiers took the money and still arrested the man.
Only after the soldiers left did Liu Xiaohua dare to get out of bed.
When they got to the yard, the eldest and second daughters-in-law were both crying while hugging their sons. Then they were thrown to the ground by the soldiers, and the two grandsons cried uncontrollably.
After both sons were taken away, Liu Xiaohua felt a little confused.
Why didn’t anyone come to the village to talk about recruiting soldiers?
Why was the person still arrested after the money was taken?
Why did they come before daybreak?
The two daughters-in-law pulled Liu Xiaohua and asked her what to do?
There is no man in the family, so even if we flee from famine, we can't escape.
Those who stayed at home were the elderly, the weak, women and children, and they could not even get water from others.
Liu Xiaohua went out and saw that other families were the same.
The two daughters-in-law followed behind, holding their sons' hands and crying.
A lot of people gathered at the entrance of the village, including adults riding big horses.
Liu Xiaohua saw that the Wang family, the richest family in the village, gave a lot of silver bills to the adult.
The master accepted the money, but had no intention of releasing the person.
The Wang family continued to give banknotes and also gave the other party a painting.
Then the adult waved his hand, and all the people from the Wang family came back.
Liu Xiaohua understood instantly that it was not that she could not pay the money to repay the person, but that she did not have enough money.
The Wang family had a daughter who married into the provincial capital. Although she became a concubine, she was very rich.
They can come up with so many banknotes, but others cannot.
Liu Xiaohua regretted that she should have followed the village chief.
Why didn't she leave? Why didn't she leave?
The officers and soldiers took the men away. All the men, ranging from 15 to 50, were captured.
Even if a family already has three men, anyone who meets the age requirement will still be arrested.
The family members asked why, but the soldier said that all men of the right age had to serve in the military.
After hearing this, Liu Xiaohua actually felt a little relieved.
In this way, everyone in the village will be the same, and no family will have a man.
Old men can hardly walk steadily, so don't be afraid.
After comforting her daughter-in-law in this way, Liu Xiaohua gained more confidence.
Besides, my eldest grandson is already ten years old. If he just waits a few more years, he will be able to start his own family.
What she didn't expect was that refugees would arrive soon.
These refugees who opposed the government, or could be called mobs, were not just the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Even if they are the elderly, the weak, women and children, as long as they can walk to Taohua Village, they are not easy to deal with.
The village chief also told the villagers about the refugees.
But the villagers who stayed behind thought that refugees usually went to the city, and those refugees had no food to eat, so how could it be that serious?
But soon they will see how crazy the refugees can be.
