Wang Wushuang and Wang Shi walked out of the misty room. For a moment, they looked a bit like immortals. They reached out and put on the dry underwear beside them. After tidying up their clothes, they sat down at a table and chairs nearby.

Wang Shi hung his head and said dejectedly: "I didn't expect that the Lord would send out an expeditionary army again. Life is getting harder and harder!"

Wang Wushuang on the side also said helplessly: "Before, the tax was reduced by half, but recently the Chang'an Xianzong also raised the tax back! Alas, life is really hard now!"

The old lady outside the house in the distance looked at the wet clothes on the ground, picked up the clothes of Wang Shi and Wang Wushuang, and came to the corner of the pavilion where she had just washed clothes. Then she threw the clothes of the two into the basin and started washing them again.

Drops of rain splashed on her face, and dew condensed in her hair. She did not complain, but wiped the dew off her face with her rough hands, and then washed her clothes diligently. After washing, she spun off the water and hung them on the peach tree beside her.

Wow...

"The sound of rain outside is getting quieter. It should be clear in a while."

After a long time, Dongying had washed his clothes. He put on dry clothes and sat aside. He stretched his body and said lightly, "After all, dry clothes are more comfortable to wear." Then he started to eat the fruits that his father and Xiaoyanzi's father brought back from Hua Town.

A few hours later, Dong Ying blinked his dry eyes, pursed his lips, looked at the majestic and stern Uncle Wang Shi, and asked in a low voice.

"Uncle Wang, you came to my house and left Xiaoyanzi alone. Isn't she scared?"

Suddenly! The two were interrupted by this sudden question, and they all looked towards the source of the sound, and found Xiao Dongying under the table. They laughed and said, "Of course! Didn't expect you to be so worried about my Xiaoyanzi?" Xiao Dongying said a little embarrassedly, "Of course! I am Xiaoyanzi's big brother, I must protect her safety and worry about his safety!"

At this moment, Wang Shi showed a look of satisfaction, and then laughed heartily: "Hahaha, good! As Xiaoyanzi's elder brother, you must be prepared to protect your younger sister!"

Dong Ying was also excited and patted his chest and said, "Okay! My little sister will never be bullied in the future. I will definitely protect her well."

In addition, Wang Wushuang's words once again brought Wang Shi into the topic.

"Alas! The Lord wants to launch an expedition. I heard that he has sent a vanguard to the border to investigate the situation."

"Soon the Lord will lead a large army to drive out the border troubles that have plagued the border for a hundred years and recover every inch of land that has been occupied."

“But because the army is ready to set off, we also need to prepare food and fodder. You know, these desperate men risk their lives for the territory, and they just want to have enough food, warm clothes, and money, so the tax burden has suddenly become heavier recently.

Besides! The conscription orders around here have become more frequent. If our Dongying wasn't old enough to be conscripted, he would have been drafted to Hua Town to serve as a soldier!"

Wang Wushuang and Wang Shi recalled how they had avoided conscription in the past. They sighed and said, "When the territory was in turmoil, we hid secretly and were not caught to serve in the army. Sigh! Although the Lord's external expeditions have protected the security of the border, how can we ordinary people in the new territory survive now!?"

At that moment, a dangerous idea took root in Wang Shi's mind, and he said in high spirits: "If we ignore the people's feelings, the world will be in chaos, and the chaotic times will soon come. We will return to the days of civil unrest when the people were living in misery and there will be no good days to live.

There is endless work to do every day, but I can't eat enough, I am hungry and thirsty, I can't wear warm clothes, and I can't sleep. Oh, I really don't want to live this kind of life anymore! If it really comes to that, I think it's better to rebel! If Dong Bo Juejue can rebel, why can't we rebel! "

For a moment, the room was unusually quiet, and Wang Wushuang was stunned.

Suddenly he stood up again, his expression obviously a little panicked. He didn't expect Wang Shi to have such an idea. He immediately covered his mouth, looked around, and said with a swirling look: "What on earth are you trying to do? Do you know how dangerous your idea is? Do you want to kill him immediately? Do you think that the entire ten-mile radius is the grave of you and my three generations of ancestors? How dare you have such an idea? Xiaoyanzi and Xiaodongying are still young. I don't have any big wishes in this life. I just hope to see peace in the world and see our Xiaoyanzi and Xiaodongying grow up safely."

The two were arguing in the room. At this time, the grandmother outside washed the fruit they brought from town, cut it into slices, and carried it in. She whispered, "You two stop talking and come and eat something."

The two were interrupted by the sudden appearance of their grandma, who immediately ended their conversation. Grandma walked in and saw that they were acting strangely.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the room was a bit awkward, and then my mother tactfully left.

The mother outside the house thought for a moment and said carefully: "You two must not have eaten yet, I will go prepare some food."

In order not to arouse suspicion, Wang Wushuang said happily: "Ah! You are worthy of being my daughter-in-law. You guessed that we didn't eat early in the morning."

"And I caught two fish. Wait a minute, after you finish talking, go cook the fish. The fish you cook is the best. Xiaoyanzi and Xiaodongying have always believed that."

As my mother spoke, she also complained, "These two children are picky eaters!"

Wang Wushuang in the room also quickly responded: "Okay, okay, I'll do it later."

Wang Wushuang showed a horrified expression and said, "Do you know? The He family in the town has been arrested. More than 50 people have been missing overnight. Apart from the power of those big shots, I really can't think of anyone who has such great power to wipe out a big family overnight. A small family like us can't even escape in time, and you still want to run into their guns? Trouble comes from the mouth, brother Wang Shi."

At this time, Wang Shi said calmly: "How can those big shots care about the life and death of little people like us? If they can't even survive in such a world, how can they see Xiao Dongying and Xiao Yanzi grow up safely!"

Wang Wushuang on the side was obviously a little annoyed, and his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

"I just hope to see Dongying get married and have children. I will be satisfied. I don't ask them to achieve much. I just hope they can live long. If anyone threatens my wish, I will not be polite."

At this time, Dong Ying in the corner took the initiative to say, "Since you are here, Uncle Wang, and the rain has stopped, I will go and pick up Xiao Yanzi and have dinner with her at my house!"

The father beside him also agreed and said, "Okay! This is a good idea, I was just thinking of saying that!" Then Wang Shi said with a hint of self-blame, "It was indeed my carelessness!"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Xiao Dongying, please go to my house and pick up Xiaoyanzi!" Dongying said happily, "That's great, I can play with Xiaoyanzi again." Then Dongying immediately crawled and rolled out of the room, put on his straw sandals, and ran out directly without even having time to close the door.

At this time, after the heavy rain outside, the soil was already wet. Running on the road could cause splashes of mud and water, which would splash all around.

Suddenly, Dongying found that his clothes were covered with dew. He slowed down his pace and thought to himself, "I can't get my clothes dirty. When I get home later, my mother will have to wash clothes again."

Dongying slowed down his pace and carefully walked around the wet land.

After a long while, Dong Ying was sweating with anxiety, and finally saw a huge yellow wooden house. Then he went up and knocked on the door. He did not hide his excitement, and said in a dancing voice: "Little Swallow, come out and play."

After knocking for a long time, Xiaoyanzi didn't respond. Then Dongying opened the door. What came into view was a little girl with wet eyes and messy hair squatting in the corner. The girl looked up and saw that it was Xiao Dongying. She burst into tears and said, "Brother Dongying, I'm so scared! Why did you come just now?"

At this time, Dong Ying comforted the charming little girl. Although she was already thirteen or fourteen years old, she still showed a sense of fragility. Dong Ying stroked her head and said, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm here, aren't I? I've said that I'm the eldest brother, so if the little sister is in danger, then the eldest brother will naturally come."

Xiaoyanzi has been afraid of thunder and rain since she was a child, and just now she was left alone at home, as if she was telling her own story like a sapling in the wind.

"There was a loud thunder and lightning just now! The house was pitch black, and I didn't dare turn on the light, so I had to curl up in bed, shivering. I didn't know what to do. I wanted to go out to find my father, but as soon as I opened the door, a huge white light suddenly flashed outside! I was so scared that I went back to bed and lay down. I didn't dare to go out again."

Dongying also showed his big boy temperament and said: "It's okay! I'm here now, right? And your father is at my house, let's go over now and have dinner at my house." Then Xiaoyanzi heard about going to eat, and instantly forgot her fear and shouted: "Great! I can taste uncle's cooking again."

Dongying squatted down and said, "Come on up, I'll carry you over. It just so happens that your shoes and clothes are not suitable for walking on the road after the rain."

Xiaoyanzi climbed onto Dongying's back, and when Dongying stood up, she said in an extremely exaggerated tone: "The road outside is quite wet! And it's quite muddy! If I don't carry you, you might be eaten by these mud monsters."

Afterwards, he stood up and ran towards home. Dongying thought to himself that his clothes were already soaked, so he didn't need to care whether they were dirty or not. At most he could go back and wash them secretly to avoid being discovered by his mother.

When passing a bamboo forest, Dongying put Xiaoyanzi down and took a rest. At this time, there were still small drops of water dripping from the bamboo leaves on his head. Xiaoyanzi was very excited! He grabbed an old bamboo next to Dongying's head with both hands and shook it vigorously.

Suddenly, drops of rain began to fall again, soaking both of their faces.

"Little Swallow!!!"

Soon, both of them became drowned dogs, and they both laughed out loud. At this time, Dongying didn't need to carry her because their clothes were already soaked.

Dong Ying looked at the sky where the drizzle was getting heavier and heavier and said, "It's raining again! It's raining again! Let's run quickly."

The two of them came home talking and laughing in the rain.

When the three adults looked at the two wet children, they said helplessly: "Hurry! Up! Go! Take! a! Bath!"
