Facing the reality, Zhao Ran chose to temporarily bow his head to the fourth uncle, planning to sell the land to the fourth uncle. Now that he had made up his mind, he slept very soundly this night, and did not wake up until the third pole of the sun.

After breakfast, Zhao Ran prepared to go to the fourth uncle's house. When he went out, he opened the simple bamboo fence that was more than half a person high outside the small courtyard, and when he looked up, he saw Uncle Zhao rushing to his side with a burden.

"Why is the uncle here?" asked Zhao Ran.

"San Lang, hurry up!" Uncle Zhao looked anxious, stuffed the burden on his shoulders directly into Zhao Ran's arms, and pulled Zhao Ran to run out.

Zhao Ran was very puzzled, and he didn't know what Uncle Zhao meant. Zhao Ran is eighteen years old, he doesn't want to leave, and Uncle Zhao really can't drag him. As a last resort, Uncle Zhao had to stop and hurriedly tell the reason for the incident in a few words.

Earlier this spring, more than 100 miners died in a mining disaster at the Chuanling Copper Mine in Songfanwei, west of Long An Province. The Chuanling Copper Mine is the property of the emperor, and this matter is under the supervision of the Xuanwei Division of Western Sichuan. So Zhao De, the eunuch guarding the town, issued an order to the Long'an Mansion to levy conscription to make up for the shortage of miners. Shiquan County spread twelve places, and Zhao Zhuang was unfortunately selected by lottery.

In the past, when encountering similar abnormal conscription, the old patriarch would take out money from the clan property and hand over the government's conscription silver to exempt him from service. However, in the public meeting of the ancestral hall this morning, the fourth uncle of the new patriarch did not follow the convention, but assigned manpower to serve normally. Originally, it was not Zhao Ran's turn to be in the rotation order, but the two villagers in front of him had visited their relatives in the "recent days" and were not in the village. The deadline given by the county was tight, so Zhao Ran became a tragedy.

"San Lang, this is the fourth child's trick, if you go to Chuanling, there may not be a day to come back!" Uncle Zhao was so anxious that he stomped his feet and repeatedly urged Zhao Ran to flee quickly. Even a stunned farmer like Uncle Zhao can see that Zhao Ran doesn't know that this is the fourth uncle taking the opportunity to seek personal gain? It seems that the fourth uncle can't wait to take over his own land, and as long as he makes good use of this opportunity, it is very likely that he will even get three acres of fertile land for nothing without paying a penny!

Going to serve in the Chuanling Copper Mine for one year is not a joke? If you really want to go, it is estimated that you will not be able to come back. Zhao Ran even guessed that maybe he wouldn't be able to go to the Chuanling Copper Mine at all, as long as the fourth uncle spent a little money, it was common for him to "die" in the middle way.

"Why didn't the clan call me?" Zhao Ran asked.

"Who knows? If you work in the fields in a good way, you will be called to the ancestral hall, and if you had known about it, you would have come to inform you. You don't see it, people are determined to fix you!"

"Where are you going?" Zhao Ran looked depressed. It is impossible to get out of the county, and without the road guide issued by the county, Zhao Ran can't go anywhere.

"Go to the mountains to hide for a few days, and come back after ten days and a half months, and then say that you have gone to the mountains to collect medicine. Wait for a few days!"

Zhao Ran thought about it carefully, Uncle Zhao's method was very simple, but it was also very effective, since the two families who were ahead of him and should have taken turns to serve in the conscription could "visit relatives", why couldn't he "go into the mountains to collect medicine"?

After thinking about it, Zhao Ran didn't talk nonsense, took the package and bamboo tube handed by Uncle Zhao, pulled his feet and left, and went straight to the back mountain along the path. Before entering the mountains and forests, Zhao Ran looked back again, and saw that Uncle Zhao was still standing in front of his broken yard, raising his eyes, and seeing that he was back, he was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, letting him go faster.

Zhao Ran took a deep breath and plunged into the mountains and forests.

The package contains a stack of hard bran cakes, a few pieces of dried sweet potatoes, and a few old pickles, which can last for three or five days without any problem. Zhao Ran carried a package and a bamboo tube on his shoulder, carried a broken branch in his hand, and walked straight forward while probing the grass and shrubs under his feet. There are many snakes and insects in the forest, and scaring the grass and snakes is the most basic way to walk.

The primary forests of this world are much more lush than the secondary forests of the era before the crossing, and the grass is long and the trees are dense, making it difficult to walk. It wasn't until the sky was getting dark that Zhao Ran came to the destination of this trip - on the top of a slope, two huge rocks were piled up and down, and the angle between the folds was just enough to block the rain and wind.

Uncle Zhao's consideration is very thoughtful and meticulous, in addition to food, there is also a fire fold in the package. Zhao Ran picked up some branches and grass, lit them in a pile, first roasted the rock wall under his feet, and then picked some large leaves from the nearby big trees, and after drying them too, he put them on the rock wall, which was a simple mattress.

Take out the hard bran cake, put it on the fire and bake it softly, eat it with the water in the bamboo tube, and then nibble on two bites of pickles, and the meal is settled.

Lying by the fire, Zhao Ran pillowed his hands under the back of his head, looking up at the starry sky, thinking about the legendary fairy shadow and the blessed land of the cave, Zhao Ran soon fell asleep.

Zhao Ran had a dream, dreaming that he was wearing a purple and gold robe, stepping on five-colored auspicious clouds, pinching the trick in his hand, and chanting "go", a sword light cut off the mountain, killing ten thousand demons in fear, attracting the gods to worship and salute from afar, provoking countless beautiful fairies to throw flattery at him. Just when he was mighty, suddenly a demon came in front of him, using a huge golden hoop stick, and his appearance turned out to be Monkey King. I saw Sun Dasheng pick up the golden hoop stick and smash it down on his head, the momentum was amazing, and he couldn't resist it.

Zhao Ran hurriedly resorted to the method of shifting shapes and shadows, dodging again and again, but he couldn't dodge, and finally was smashed on the shoulder by the golden hoop stick. The pain was so intense that Zhao Ran screamed "ah", but he was awakened.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that in the dark night, six or seven people were holding torches in front of him, and one of them carried a stick and hit him on the leg again, it was Zhao Wu, the steward of the fourth uncle's family. The two big mastiffs barked wildly and threw themselves at them, and if they hadn't been dragged to death, they would have rushed up long ago.

Zhao Ran regretted it in his heart, he patted his head, why did he forget that people had dogs like this?

"Fifth brother, what are you doing?" Zhao Ran smiled at Zhao Wu.

"Run, run, run?" Zhao Wu snorted with a cold face.

"Where do you start with this? I'm going into the mountains to collect medicine......

"Don't talk about these useless things, how can you know it in your own heart! Evading the imperial court -- you have studied, don't you know that this is a great crime that is pouring into the sky? Do you really want to taste the taste of being a military match? It doesn't matter if you escape, but what if you affect the village? They are all relatives, so you don't think about the clan? In the middle of the night, my brothers have worked hard, and they haven't slept well...... Let's go, do you want my brothers to tie you up?"

When it came to this, Zhao Ran was also single, no longer talking nonsense, and just got up and left. At noon the next day, the group finally returned to Zhaozhuang. Zhao Ran told Zhao Wu that he was willing to sell his land and property, but he just wanted not to serve, but Zhao Wu ignored him. Zhao Ran understood, the fourth uncle didn't even want to give out the money.

Zhao Ran was taken to the firewood room of the fourth uncle's house and locked up, and now, Zhao Ran can't think of any good way, so he can only lie on the haystack and continue to sleep. In the evening, the servants of the fourth uncle brought food, and although the food was coarse, it was still barely able to make ends meet. Zhao Ran was not polite, and after eating, he lay down and continued to rest, and began to think about how to protect himself along the way when he went and arrived in Chuanling safely.

Early the next morning, the door of the firewood room opened again, but this time it was not to deliver food. Zhao Wu stood at the door of the firewood room and shouted with a cold face: "Let's get on the road." He was followed by several strong men, staring at Zhao Ran viciously.

Zhao Ran was taken aback, and was immediately relieved, Zhao Wu's words should not be to harm his own life, no matter what, lynching himself to death, this is not allowed by Daming Law Firm, and the fourth uncle will not do this. This should be the original meaning - this is the time to come out.

When passing by the village, many farmers stood in the field to see Zhao Ran, no one spoke, and Zhao Ran couldn't tell their thoughts from their expressions - except for Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao.

Uncle Zhao squeezed past Zhao Wu and stuffed two steamed buns into Zhao Ran's arms, trembling his lips and unable to speak, but his eyes were red. Aunt Zhao stood aside and wiped her tears.

Zhao Ran took the steamed bun, carefully put it into his arms, called Uncle Zhao softly, called "uncle", and looked at Aunt Zhao who wiped her tears, called "aunt", and finally bit her lip and said, "Take care."

Zhao Wu sneered and watched this scene, and then shouted around: "It's all gone!" With two strong men, Zhao Ran left Zhaozhuang, and their destination was Shiquan County, which was a hundred miles away.
