The sun rises and sets, and the night turns white.

In the early morning of the next day, in the yard outside the house, Mrs. Xu, the Orion's Mrs. Shun, had already prepared breakfast. After everyone sat down one after another, Ah Shun couldn't help asking:

"The female son in the house has been closed for a day, nothing will happen, right? Would you like to send some food?"

Ye Qingli held the bun in one hand, and replied with a smile, "It's okay, she's not hungry!"

Just as she was speaking, the steaming steamed stuffed bun that Ye Qingli had just received was snatched away by a powerful force. The other party didn't even give her time to react, and soon a clear voice rang in her ears:

"Who says I'm not hungry, Qingli, you are heartless, you won't take me with you if you eat delicious food!"

Ye Qingli didn't care about the gains and losses of this steamed stuffed bun. She looked up and saw that the hungry Lan Yao had already finished the food in her hand, and said with a dumb smile:
"Aren't I just thinking about your retreat and penance, so I don't want to disturb you!"

The peasants are enthusiastic and honest, and Mrs. Xu, with a slightly bulging belly, hastily passed the freshly baked buns forward, and greeted: "There is nothing at home that can be sold, and please don't be disgusted by the two young ladies, and eat more. yes."

Lan Yao quickly took it, and said with a smile: "The host's hospitality is warm, how can we dislike it, we should thank you."

Ye Qingli took a closer look at Lan Yao, who was very energetic, and suddenly felt that the power on her body was deeper, and said with a sincere smile: "It seems that the effect is good, Yaoyao, you have already become a first-class master in the heavenly realm !"

Ye Qingli didn't shy away from the fact that Lan Yao's realm had soared, but Chai Yu, who was silent at the side, had a look of surprise in his eyes.

When he was not around, what kind of opportunity did His Majesty get, and his strength unexpectedly jumped to the heavenly realm!

Even the Princess Minghui, who was traveling with her, has greatly improved her skills overnight. This is really...

Lan Yao wasn't too polite, she ate breakfast consciously after sitting down, and said with a leisurely smile:
"Thanks to you, I have found the medicine guide, and my martial arts have also improved. This trip can be regarded as a fruitful one!"

Ye Qingli smiled noncommittally: "That's right, count the time, it's time to go back!"

Lan Yao nodded, remembered something again, and asked, "By the way, Ah Shun, is Ah Fu okay?"

Ah Shun quickly changed his eyes with inexplicable gratitude, and said again and again: "If the two young ladies did not come to rescue, Ah Fu would definitely not be able to come back. Now he is awake. Miss Ye went to see him this morning. Afraid of affecting the wound, he still has to come over in person to express his thanks!"

Lan Yao smiled with a guilty conscience: "Actually, I didn't do anything, it was Qing Li who rejuvenated me, and Chai Yu who helped me."

……

Although the status and status of the people sitting around the round table were very different, they unexpectedly had a good conversation and laughed endlessly.

Seeing that after breakfast, Ah Shun was about to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, suddenly the sound of chaotic footsteps came from far to near, which made Lan Yao, who had sharpened her five senses, become alert, and ordered in a low voice:
"Chai Yu, go and see what happened. If it came at us, we must ensure the safety of innocent people."

Lan Yao couldn't help showing worry in her words. After all, with her identity, the current situation is unknown, so she can only prepare for the worst.

Chai Yu quickly left in response, Ye Qingli and Lan Yao looked at each other and raised their hearts.

Although the sound of footsteps sounded like only about 20 people, it should be a team that had been trained, and there was the faint sound of riding horses. What is the reason for these guys appearing in such an unknown mountain village?

Just when Lan Yao and Ye Qingli both felt that things were not going well, soon there were noises, screams, and cursing.

Lan Yao and Ye Qingli gave Xu Shun a look in order not to cause any trouble, and jumped onto the roof one after another to see the situation first.

Not long after, a person directly kicked the wooden door of Xu Shun's house, and then a voice sounded a bit domineering and arrogant:
"Is Xu Shun here? The government conscripted him for a year of hard labor!"

As the sound fell, the atmosphere that had been enjoyable just now turned into a cold and chilling atmosphere, and a group of men and horses in official uniforms rushed in aggressively.
It seemed that there were about twenty people, the leader was a tall and thick man, wearing a dark green official uniform, he was probably an official in charge of martial arts, and beside him was a fearful old man, holding a roster in his hand.

Hearing this news, Xu Shun's entire face turned pale. He looked at the old man who was following him as if asking for help, and from the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the fellow villager at the end of the line who was carrying a bag and looked sad, and said in disbelief :
"Lizheng, why is this happening? Didn't you just take labor labor a month ago?"

Holding the roster, the old man replied tremblingly: "Shunzi, there are naturally official reasons for official affairs, do you still dare to disobey?"

"Hurry up and pack up your things. This is called by the county captain himself. How can ordinary people like me resist orders?"

Xu Shun showed embarrassment, knelt down on the ground, and begged bitterly: "Li Zheng, you know that Zhuo Jing is already five months pregnant, and she cannot do without someone to take care of her. Can I use money for this labor? redemption?"

Although Li Zheng was afraid of the power of the county captain, he still leaned forward and lowered his voice:
"Shunzi, how much money can you give?"

Xu Shun thought that there was still a turning point in the matter, so he handed over all the travel expenses that Lan Yao had given him this time, and asked cautiously, "My lord, do you know if this is enough?"

"Where did you get a windfall, kid?" The allure of a gold ingot is really strong, Lizheng dare not take it for himself, but his eyes are shining, he quickly took the money, and greeted the county lieutenant with a smile:
"Master Kou, I wonder if you can be a little wider—"

The man with the long knife glanced at Xu Shun who was so capable, grabbed the silver, and said with a wicked smile:
"For one year of conscription, this amount of money can only be reduced for two months. Hurry up and pack it up. I'm still in a hurry to recruit other people!"

"If you can't fulfill the quota today, can you afford the consequences?"

Xu Shun saw that the money was offered, but things still had no turning point. He couldn't help being angry, but he had no choice but to smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and said in a muffled voice:
"Thank you for your understanding, the grass people are ready to go."

Upon hearing this, Xu's face turned pale again and again. She held Xu Shun's hand, but she didn't dare to easily resist the government's order, so she could only pack his things for him and watched them leave silently.

After gaining benefits and taking people, that Mr. Kou went to another family in this small mountain village contentedly.
