This summer, the air is sweltering, and the cicadas' calls are extremely anxious. The whole Xinghua Village seems to be packed in a big pot, and then set on firewood to cook. They were all screaming and screaming, too busy to take care of themselves.
The atmosphere in Xiong's house was particularly dull. At today's dinner table, after mother Xiong and father Xiong did heavy farm work, they didn't even eat a bite of food.
Xiong Zhuangshan is a little older, he is fourteen, and already sensible. There are three younger brothers and four younger sisters under him who are vaguely aware of things, but the youngest fifth sister still doesn't understand anything. She is very happy to see that the whole family does not eat, and it is rare for her to eat a meal by herself. Belly full and round.
When the fifth younger sister finished her meal and made a full-bodied puffing sound, Mother Xiong and Father Xiong suddenly woke up from the trance.
"It's finished eating, let's clean up." In fact, except for Fifth Sister, the others didn't speak at all.
But no one in the Xiong family raised any objections, and they all got up to clean up. When I sat back at the table again, the atmosphere was so depressed that it seemed to be a taut string that might break due to extremes at any time.
"That" Mother Xiong seemed unable to say the next thing, but it was impossible not to say this, she could only close her eyes, and said with a sigh of relief: "You also know, Li Zheng just went door-to-door to notify , each family asked for a strong man to join the army."
The Xiong family, Xiong Tie and Father Xiong are all old enough. Yu Chao stipulates that he can join the army at the age of sixteen, and Xiong Tie just turned sixteen this year.
For a moment, everyone looked at Father Xiong and Xiong Tie suddenly, all of them looked panicked, and even the youngest Fifth Sister just now finally felt scared belatedly, and burst into tears.
Mother Xiong was flustered at first, and now she was even more impatient to coax this ignorant child who would not watch the situation and cry, so she said to Si Niangzi: "Go and take your sister back to the house, it's none of your business here."
Before the fourth lady led the fifth sister to leave, she looked back at the few people sitting at the table half understanding. Under the dim light, everyone looked dignified.
Si Niangzi knew what it meant to join the army, she just went to die and never came back. The imperial court always conscripted soldiers and took away countless people, but never saw anyone come back.
Li Laizi from the village was recruited at home that year. His parents favored the younger one and pushed him out. He was powerless to resist, and broke his legs when he went up the mountain the next day. But the villagers all said that Li Zizi's legs were not broken, but he broke them himself. In order not to join the army, Li Zizi was really cruel to himself.
After Li Zizi's parents knew about it, they almost didn't eat Li Zizi raw, but his legs were broken, and the court wanted someone, so he could only go to his most beloved youngest son.
When leaving, his youngest son was forcibly dragged away. The old couple chased them two miles away, crying hoarsely, and both fainted.
Later, the youngest son never came back. Until Li Laizi's parents died, the youngest son still had no news, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers of Xinghua Village, joining the army is tantamount to going to die. This is asking the whole family to push one person out to die. How can the atmosphere not be depressed.
But no matter how uncomfortable the mother bear is as the hostess of this family, she still has to make a decision.
Suppressing the pain in her heart, she said: "Our family must also produce someone. You all know that your father is not in good health. He is usually sick and always takes medicine. That's why you uncles and grandmas have opinions. Separated us. With your father's body, let him go to join the army, before the war is just on the way, he has to die on the way, it is basically to send him to die."
"If your father dies, our family will be broken up. Your grandma won't tolerate me continuing to dominate the family. How will you live if you sell me?" Mother Xiong said and cried. .
At that time, Xiong Zhuangshan was just an ordinary child, growing up at the knees of his parents, no different from all fourteen-year-old children. He was still a naughty child who hadn't experienced the tyranny of bloody human life.
Therefore, the mother bear has this saying.
"So, your father can't go, or our whole family will die."
Mother Xiong and him had already discussed this result. Father Song decided to go by himself when he received the news, but Mother Xiong stopped him and cried and said this, and Father Xiong was shaken. He is a man, and he always protects his sons, daughters and wives.
Mother Bear continued: "So, so I plan to draw one of you three."
"What?" After Mother Xiong finished speaking, Xiong Tie raised his head in shock, "Aniang, besides Father, I am the only one at home who has turned sixteen, so I should go."
Mother Xiong hurriedly said: "This is a matter of life and death. The three of you are the sons of our Xiong family. I can't favor any one of them. I will leave it to fate. Whoever fate chooses will go. To blameThe current Tang Shou is not the original one.
Because the original Tang Shou was watched by Xiong Zhuangshan. He has been a dead soldier for so many years, and he will not even make a mistake in judging life and death. Then he will not be able to return to Xinghua Village.
Although the two are in the same body, the previous eyes dodge the eyes that never dared to look at Xiong Zhuangshan, with low self-esteem, mischievous eyebrows, and full of scheming.
But when this one woke up again, his eyes were bright and open. When he looked at him, he was not afraid of everyone. Although he was afraid, he was very calm. He would not face the fear head-on to panic, turn around and hate him for not dying on the battlefield.
?When the dead men followed the King of Zhenbei or went out to perform special tasks, they had seen many strange things, so Xiong Zhuangshan guessed a certain possibility at once.
Later, the person who suddenly became squeamish, the person who suddenly put him in his heart, suddenly made a lot of strange things, and even the person with the status of King Zhenbei who had never seen anything used before was more sure of Xiong Zhuangshan's heart. guess.
But he never said or asked, he just took it as fate's arrangement to compensate him, he was afraid that if he asked, fate would take him back, and everything would become a mirror image.
So he is silently guarding, guarding his salvation, and guarding Tang Shou's secret from being discovered.
This is also why Xiong Zhuangshan was so determined to divorce his wife after the previous Tang Shou's elopement was found, and Tang Shou who woke up not only did not divorce his wife, but instead kept strict supervision all the time.
Because Xiong Zhuangshan knew from the beginning to the end that there are two souls in the same body, and he clearly knew that the soul he promised life after life was the later one.
I only wish to be with you until death!
