Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

On the day after the Lantern Festival, Su Qingnao, Su Qingliu and others arrived at the store and found that not only Su's father had come early in the morning, but Su's mother had also followed.

Xiao Qingxing and Xiao Qingyang rushed forward happily. The two little ones were sent to town early and didn't even spend the Lantern Festival at home.

"Why is mom here? Dad, didn't I ask you to come back in two days? The store is not in a hurry." Su Qing said.

"Something happened." Su's father sighed.

"What happened?" "Something happened at home?" Sister Su Qingyu asked together.

Mother Su took the two younger children and sighed: "All your uncles have run away. Your grandma still doesn't want to tell us. It's because your father saw them go to her parents' house yesterday and didn't come back for so long. She didn't even come back for the Lantern Festival. I'm asking you." Master, your father just said that.”

Su's father sat on a chair, holding his head in his hands, looking frustrated.

Mother Su choked up as she spoke: "Why did your father treat your father like this? Isn't your father his son? He wanted to go out to avoid trouble, so he left your father alone without even saying a word to your father. They also told us that they accompanied your aunts back to their parents’ home. Your father, why did he treat your father like this..."

ah? Going out to avoid trouble?

Seeing the surprised expressions on his children's faces, Su's father rubbed his face and said, "Many families in the village have gone out to avoid trouble. As soon as they heard that there was going to be military conscription in February, most of them left. Almost all the men in the village left, leaving only There are some old people and children who can’t walk.”

"Ah, where can they go? If they are caught, desertion will be a serious crime." Su Qingliu was stunned.

"Everyone in the village says that they don't blame anyone. Even if they are caught, they will just be sent to the barracks, and the result will be the same. But what if you escape?"

Mother Su wiped away her tears and glanced at Father Su. The death of her son and son-in-law is uncertain. If her father goes again, her sky will collapse.

"There are so many people leaving the village. Didn't your parents notice before?"

"Your mother and I were sent by your father to do this and that. Your uncles and aunts took the children back to their parents' home. All the family affairs fell on your mother and I, so we didn't pay attention. The village was deserted than in previous years, and we also I just thought that everyone was having a hard time this year, and I didn’t think of anything else. Some people didn’t see it, and we all thought they were running around outside. How could we know that everyone was hiding from the war..."

Su Qingyu remained silent until she heard it. Then she asked, "Dad, have you gone to the nearby villages to see if other villages are the same as ours?"

Su's father nodded: "Dad asked the village chief, and he said that many families nearby are like our village, with all the men hiding away."

"Where can I hide?"

"Hide in the mountains. There are tall trees and dense forests in the mountains. You can hide as long as you can. If you are caught, you will have the same fate. You can live for a few more days."

After Su's mother finished speaking, she quickly grabbed Su Qingyu's hand: "Qingyu, do you think your father should go out and hide too? If your father is also beaten away, how will your mother survive? You Dad doesn’t have any skills on his hands, so he will die if he goes to the battlefield..."

Su's mother cried, which made Su Qingnao feel uncomfortable. She looked up and saw one of the twins holding Su's father's hand tightly, and the other hugging him tightly, as if he was about to go to the battlefield, and she felt quite uncomfortable.

"Dad, you and mother take a rest in the backyard, and I'll go out for a while."

After Su Qingyu finished speaking, she left the shop.

As I hurriedly walked down the street of Fengting Town, I was shocked to realize how deserted the town was. The Lantern Festival was just celebrated yesterday, and it should be bustling in the first month of the year. Unexpectedly, she walked all the way down the street and didn't see many people.

On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, there was only a cool breeze blowing on the street, which made people's faces hurt.

Su Qingyu sat in the Liu family's concierge for a long time before Liu Juye came back.

This is her first time coming to Liu's house. After Lu Bocheng left, Liu Juye always took good care of her and often exchanged news with her, which was also good for Xiaobao. Su Qingnao was so grateful that she didn't disturb him for fear of causing trouble to him.

After receiving the news of the conscription in the year, she didn't expect that before she could figure it out, all the men of suitable age in the family had fled, leaving Su's father alone.

"Come in quickly. I have no time to spare these days. I am running outside every day. Except for the first two days this year, my father has been away from home every day."

The two of them sat in the Liu family's flower hall. Liu Juye saw that Su Qingyu looked embarrassed and asked, "Are you doing this for military conscription?"

Su Qingyu looked up at him and nodded: "Yes. When my parents came over this morning, I realized that many people in the village had gone out to avoid military service."

Liu Juye nodded: "I know. A well-informed person moved his family away a few years ago."

"Move your family? Where can you go? The conscription is not limited to Guangning, right? Even if you escape to another place, won't you be arrested as long as you are a male?" Su Qingyu was a little confused.

She has been thinking about this for years, how to let Su's father avoid this whipping. But she didn't think about running away. In this era when the world is nothing but the realm of kings, where can we escape?

"Flee to the mountains, flee to the south."

"Ah?" Su Qingnao glanced at him in surprise, he was...

Liu Juye nodded: "If my father didn't have a good reputation in my family, and the only people of the right age who could be slapped with a dice, we would still have to leave."

Seeing Su Qingyu looking at him blankly, he added: "Now the local military governors are in charge of power. After the capital changed, the military governors did not listen to orders. No one knows the last one who fled to Sichuan. Whether the counterattack can be successful or whether there will be anyone to carry out the decree issued by him is still unknown.”

Su Qingnao had even forgotten that there was Da Qi.

I heard him say again: "But now, there should be no one who wants to quarrel with him at this time. It seems that he still has to do something. My father and I both guessed that there are many secrets and secrets. The south is far away from the hinterland of the Central Plains and has never participated in the court. If they are caught in the war, they can only serve as local soldiers. However, the governors in various places are conserving their strength and will not send out their soldiers easily. They still have to survive before they can do it. Something else.”

Liu Juye spoke from the bottom of his heart.

It was also because Su Qingyu was one of our own and tight-lipped.

Su Qingyu nodded gratefully towards him. She really didn't expect this.

The whole world belongs to that person, where can I escape to? Thousands of miles of territory are all under the imperial power, so where can we avoid it? Unexpectedly, the Dashuo Dynasty has now reached the point where local military governors support their own troops and do not listen to the central government's orders.

"Do you know what vassal towns there are now? How are they divided?"

After Su Qingyu finished speaking, he saw Liu Juye go out and bring out a map. Su Qingyao was not surprised at how their family could have such a thing. It’s normal for people with rich background to hide things that ordinary people don’t have.

The two of them lay on the map and looked at the map for a long time. Liu Juye pointed to the areas under the jurisdiction of each feudal town. He told Su Qingyu a lot about the character of each military governor, and told her everything he knew without hiding anything.

Finally, he looked at Su Qingyu steadily.

He said: "You have to go out early. No one knows what actions the county government will take now, and no one knows who they are. Whether they will stand still or set up strict barriers, no one knows. I Dad used to be able to guess a little bit of the county prince's thoughts, but now he can't figure out his thoughts at all. "

Su Qingyu nodded.

When Su Qingyao was about to leave, Liu Juye stopped her again: "If you go out, remember to send a message back to our family. We will not leave. By then, Bo Cheng has sent back some information, so I can pass it on to you."

"good."
