The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Youfu and Yuanyuan also stared at Lin Xi with anticipation. If the Schisandra chinensis were ripe, they would pick them and sell them for money, and they would be able to buy a lot of things for the New Year!

"The second crop of Schisandra chinensis is fully ripe!" Lin Xi replied with a smile.

"Oh! That's great!"

The three of them jumped up and cheered!

"Let's go and spread the news to the villagers as soon as possible so that we can pick the Schisandra chinensis as soon as possible!"

After saying that, Lin Xi turned around and prepared to go down the mountain.

"Eh? Sister Lin Xi, where is Brother An Er? Didn't he go with you to see the Schisandra chinensis? Why didn't he come back with you? Shouldn't we wait for him to go back together?"

Yuanyuan saw that An Er, who went out with Lin Xi, had not come back yet, and asked curiously!

Youfu and Lin An were so happy just now that they didn't notice that An Er was not there. When they heard Yuanyuan mention it, they looked at Lin Xi strangely.

"Oh! I have something to do, so I asked him to do it! Don't worry about him, he will be back when he is done! Let's go and inform the villagers to pick Schisandra chinensis!"

After Lin Xi finished speaking, he raised his legs and ran down the mountain quickly!

In a moment, he ran a long distance away.

Upon seeing this, the three said no more and chased after him at their fastest speed!

"The government has issued an announcement! The government has issued an announcement! Villagers of Linshan Village, please come out quickly!"

As soon as the four of them ran to the foot of the mountain, they heard bursts of loud gong sounds coming from the village entrance!

They felt a pang in their hearts. Whenever someone from the government office came, it was bound to be something bad. What was going on this time?

Lin Xi and the other three looked at each other and ran straight to the village entrance!

In a short while, the villagers gathered under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. They looked at the unfamiliar yamen runners in front of them with hatred.

"The emperor has issued an order to start conscription. Every household with a male between the ages of ten and forty must send one person to serve in the army!"

Seeing that everyone was staring at him unkindly, the bailiff snorted coldly and shouted loudly.

"What? Conscription?!"

"I'm not going!"

"My husband has died on the battlefield, and now you want my child to die! Even if it costs me my life, I will never send my son to the battlefield!"

"Why don't you go to war? You'll just let us ordinary people die!"

......

People are furious and it looks like they're about to riot!

The leading yamen runner swallowed his saliva, drew out his sword, and shouted fiercely: "What? You want to rebel? Whoever dares to make trouble again, I will chop him to pieces!"

The several yamen runners behind also drew out their swords!

Lin Xi, who had just run to the back of the crowd, sneered and walked quickly to the front! Humph! You only know how to show your sword to the common people. If you have the guts, go to the battlefield and kill the enemy!

At this moment, Liu suddenly rushed out of the crowd, ran to the leading yamen runner, and spat at him!

Then he shouted angrily, "You dog officials, why don't you go kill the enemy and protect our people! I will never let my son go to the battlefield even if I die!"

Thinking of her husband who died on the battlefield and whose body was not even found, she trembled all over. She would never let her son end up like his father!

Chen Yan was caught off guard and failed to catch his mother, allowing her to rush in front of the yamen runners!

Seeing his mother spitting at the yamen runner and cursing at the top of her lungs, he rushed forward, fearing that the yamen runner would hurt his mother in a rage!

The leading yamen runner was unexpectedly spat on the chest by Liu, and then he saw the woman pointing at him and cursing!

He instantly became furious and raised his sword to chop at Liu!

At the same time, he glared and yelled, "How dare you, woman! How dare you obstruct the government's work and insult the officials? Today I will let you know how powerful I am!"

Chen Yan saw the knife with a cold and eerie glow being raised high by the yamen runner and chopped towards his mother's head!

He was furious, and he pushed through the crowd, bursting with unprecedented speed, and pounced on his mother, protecting her under his body!

Seeing that the knife was about to fall on Chen Yan, the crowd exclaimed!

The villagers rushed forward and wanted to stop them, but it was too late!

Just when the knife was about to fall on Chen Yan's back, a foot suddenly kicked from the side!

They saw the foot quickly kicking the knife handle, and with a whoosh, the knife was kicked out and inserted into a large locust tree nearby, and the blade was still shaking!

Everyone looked and it was Lin Xi!

The bailiff covered his numb wrist and looked up at his sword, only to see the tip of the sword completely embedded in the tree trunk. The sunlight reflected from the blade stung his eyes so much that it hurt!

He turned around, looked at Lin Xi with a gloomy face for a long time without saying anything!

This little girl is so skilled that even if all of them were combined, they would not be her match!

Seeing that the bailiff was frightened by her, Lin Xi raised a smiling face and said to him with concern: "Hey! Sir! My aunt is really worried about her son, so she is a little emotional and has acted inappropriately. Please don't take it personally! I didn't mean to offend you. I just used my strength to kick the flying knife to save Aunt Liu. Is your hand okay?"

Only used half of his strength?! The yamen runner was horrified when he heard this!

He looked at the energetic little girl in red in front of him. Although her face was full of smiles and she seemed to be trying to please him, there was a coldness in her eyes!

He believed that if they dared to raise their knives to hurt others again, this little girl would definitely not show mercy to them!

The yamen runner didn't dare to cause any more trouble, so he coughed and said, "Nothing!"

He turned around and snorted at Liu who was lying on the ground: "Humph! Because you care about your son and lose control of your emotions, I will forgive you this time! If you do it again, I will definitely take you back to the county government office and hand you over to the county magistrate for punishment!"

After Chen Yan rushed out, he firmly protected his mother under his body! He closed his eyes, bit his lips, and trembled all over as he waited for the knife to fall!

After waiting for a while, the imagined pain did not come from his back. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw the knife stuck in the big locust tree a few meters away. Then he heard the voice of Sister Lin Xi.

He looked up at Sister Lin Xi who was standing in front of him! His eyes instantly turned red, and his red lips, stained with blood, pursed tightly: Sister Lin Xi is here! She saved him!

Liu, who was knocked to the ground by her son, was in a daze. She came to her senses when she heard Lin Xi talking to the yamen runners. She crawled up and hugged her son, crying in fear. Her son was almost killed by a knife because of her impulsiveness!

The crowd was silent, and only Liu's desperate cry could be heard! Her son was going to the battlefield! He was only ten years old! What a sin!

The villagers who watched the whole scene clenched their fists and their eyes were red. Every family of theirs must provide a man!

Going to the battlefield means going to die! None of the folks who joined the army a few years ago came back alive!
