When the Yuan family went out, they found that all the villagers had gathered at the door of their house.

This made the Yuan family very confused. They didn't understand why the villagers came to them at this time and what they wanted.

As soon as the villagers entered the door, they all knelt in front of the Yuan family.

This scared the Yuan family.

Most of the villagers were the same age as Old Man Yuan and Old Lady Liu. When they knelt, Old Man Yuan and the others quickly moved away, and Old Man Yuan cried out in pain and hurried to help the villagers.

"What are you doing? Can't you sit down and talk it out? You're acting like our Yuan family is bullying you."

Old man Yuan helped all the villagers up and looked at them with a blaming look.

The villagers shook their heads repeatedly. They came here to ask the Yuan family for help.

You know, everyone has witnessed that the Yuan family is very skilled, and this is why they came here.

The fact that the imperial court is recruiting soldiers cannot be changed. The men in the family cannot desert, as once they do, the whole family will be implicated.

The villagers remembered that the Yuan family had to join the army when they moved to Lihua Village.

This time they came mainly to ask the Yuan family to protect their children while they were on the battlefield.

As the saying goes, a mother worries about her son even when he is thousands of miles away, let alone on the battlefield, where lives can be lost!

Parents who love their children have far-reaching plans.

As long as their son's life can be saved, they would be willing to sacrifice their own lives now.

"Patriotism, which son in your family went to the battlefield?" asked an old man with a wrinkled but kind face.

The Yuan family has many descendants, including four sons.

Among the four, Boss Yuan is the most sturdy and strong one, and he uses a lot of strength.

The second son is an expert in archery, the third son is skilled in craftsmanship, and the fourth son is a scholar.

It is most appropriate for the eldest and the second oldest to go to the battlefield.

Old man Yuan didn't answer. He turned around and sat on the doorstep, smoking his pipe in silence. He knew what the old man meant by asking this question.

"Uncle, I'll go." Boss Yuan replied. Ye Wan pulled his hand with red eyes and shook his head at him.

In response to Ye Wan's actions, Boss Yuan turned his head and smiled at her soothingly.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the villagers knelt in front of Boss Yuan.

Boss Yuan hurriedly dodged.

"Just say whatever you want to say. It's scary to kneel down all the time."

The villagers then explained their purpose.

Of the twenty or so apprentices accepted by the Yuan family, nearly half will go to join the army. As their master, Boss Yuan will definitely take good care of his apprentices during the march.

The purpose of their coming was to ask the Yuan family to accept their son as a disciple.

In this way, their lives are more secure during the march.

This put Boss Yuan in a dilemma. Some of these people were older than him. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to accept them as apprentices?

Besides, the march was very difficult and he might not be able to take care of everyone.

The villagers quickly explained that anyone of any age could become a disciple, as long as they could survive.

This is a bit overwhelming.

".......I'm not being harsh, but my son can barely protect himself on the battlefield, so how could he have the energy to save their lives? Survival on the battlefield depends on yourself. You can protect yourself temporarily, but not forever. Don't you understand the truth of this?"

Old Lady Liu pulled aside the door curtain and looked at them with a sullen face.

The villagers choked, they understood the meaning of this statement.

But human nature is selfish, and people will subconsciously do things that are beneficial to themselves.

Old Mrs. Liu was annoyed when she heard these words in the house. Why should her son protect their son? It would be fine if he protected him, but what if he didn't?

Isn't it just Boss Yuan who is to blame for this?

They blamed Boss Yuan for not trying his best to protect their son, and some even wondered why it wasn't Boss Yuan who died?

The Yuan family cannot afford this.

It’s no wonder that Old Lady Liu was angry about this. As a mother, watching her son about to go to the battlefield, which mother wouldn’t feel sad?

Now these villagers want her son to protect their son, and she is not happy about that.

What she wanted was for her son to return safely.

Seeing that the Yuan family disagreed, the villagers had no choice but to go to the village chief in shame.

When the village chief heard what they said, he scolded them. Although the Yuan family was very skilled, there was no mercy on the battlefield and no one could keep an eye on their situation at all times.

The villagers looked pale when they heard this.

It was late at night and the atmosphere in the Yuan family was depressing. At this critical juncture, no one wanted to gather in the main room to chat and laugh.

"Tomorrow is the conscription day. Dad and Mom must be feeling very upset right now."

Shen Chulan said with a worried look on her face.

The two old men must be feeling bad. When the imperial court recruited soldiers before, they didn't let their sons go. I can imagine how they feel now.

Yuan Lao Er sighed, "The one who's suffering the most right now is probably my sister-in-law."

Shen Chulan nodded. "Sister-in-law and brother have always had a very good relationship. Now that brother is going to join the army, sister-in-law must be feeling very upset."

She is also a woman, her husband's wife, and her children's mother, and she can also be selfish.

My sister-in-law has always done her best to take care of the whole family.

She couldn't persuade her sister-in-law about this matter, and she couldn't.

If the eldest doesn't go, then the second one will have to go.

The only thing she could do was to be nicer to her eldest brother's two children than to her own children.

Only then did Yaoyao take the time to turn her head to look at Shen Chulan and Yuan Laoer, who looked worried.

I want to make them happy but I am powerless.

When Old Lady Liu carried Yaoyao into the house, she had been busy in the space.

She knew that when Boss Yuan returned to his original life, the luck that the Yuan family in the capital had absorbed from them would gradually return to its original owner, which would inevitably attract their attention.

Before that, she must find a way to protect her uncle.

The first step is to have a suitable weapon. Considering that the uncle has no spiritual power, spiritual weapons are not suitable for him to use.

After a lot of effort, she finally made a big iron hammer. This hammer was made of the shed shell of Xuanwu and her hair. It was extremely hard, could ward off evil and absorb good luck, and weighed a thousand pounds.

Considering the ruthlessness on the battlefield, Yaoyao refined an inconspicuous iron ring, filled it with various elixirs and silver she refined, which could save her uncle's life.

There is a Taoist priest in the Yuan family in the capital, so we have to be on guard against them. This iron ring can conceal the Taoist priest's aura and prevent him from realizing that my uncle is a member of the Yuan family.

At this time, Yaoyao's face was full of fatigue, and she fell asleep with her eyes closed.

When Yuan Laoer and Shen Chulan saw Yaoyao fell asleep, they stopped talking and fell asleep soon after.

In the middle of the night, Yaoyao opened her eyes from a sound sleep, raised her two chubby hands and rubbed her eyes vigorously. When the sleepiness faded away, Yaoyao turned over on the bed and slowly climbed to the windowsill.

Under the window, Xiao Hei had been waiting for a long time. When he heard the noise, he used one claw to pull Yao Yao out and put a thick coat on his master.

On the high courtyard wall, furry heads popped out.

A tuft of white hair and a green snake pushed their way out.

When he saw Yaoyao, his round eyes sparkled and his expression was full of excitement.
