Chapter 5: Official Recruitment
Update time: 2012-08-30
Seeing that everyone had left, Old Man Li walked to Jia Rong and said to him: "Thank you for your help, but I heard what the young master said just now that he wanted to bring these children to the army. I wonder if it is true?"
Jia Rong replied solemnly: "That's true. They were also trained by me. I don't feel at ease when they join the army. No matter what, they are still young."
Old Man Li said, "Since the young master has decided, the old man will not force him. I will also go to Li Li and Li Hu's house to see him. Their father has been in the army for five years and has no news."
After saying goodbye to Old Man Li, Jia Rong went back directly. Along the way, he was thinking about how to tell Xiuer about his going to join the army. After all, he also liked this girl.
Today's training ended like this.
Xiu'er, who had just helped her mother finish the housework, saw Jia Rong coming back from outside and asked, "Brother, why did you come back so early today? Don't you need training?"
Jia Rong wanted to tease Xiao Xiu'er, so he said, "Don't you miss our Xiu'er, so I'll come back and have a look."
Xiu'er blushed and lowered her head and said shyly, "Brother, no matter how funny you are, they will ignore you."
Jia Rong was really afraid that this girl would be serious, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, I said I said that the government wants to recruit soldiers and let each household have a strong man go."
After hearing this, Xiu'er frowned and said, "Why are you recruiting again? Isn't there no strong men in our village?"
Jia Rong said: "Oh, there is no way. The government's documents have been delivered. I have to go there. I discussed it with everyone for a long time before I decided to give birth to a child in the family."
Xiu'er was anxious after hearing Jia Rong's words and said, "How can this work? They are still young, how can they join the army?"
Jia Rong also showed a helpless look and said, "It's hard to violate military orders."
After thinking for a long time, Jia Rong still didn't know how to tell Xiu'er that he was going to join the army, so he said, "Xiu'er, if you have nothing to do after dinner tonight, just accompany me out for a walk. I have something to say to you."
Xiu'er looked at Jia Rong and said, "Yes."
After dinner, Jia Rong and Xiu'er were walking leisurely on the small road outside the village, chatting about each other, and talking to Xiu'er about interesting things in the village recently and about family matters. Jia Rong felt a little touched in his heart. After he joined the army, he might not have such a peaceful and leisurely life again.
Walking to a flat grassland, Jia Rong said to Xiu'er, "Xiu'er, let's sit here and take a break."
After a long time, Jia Rong took the lead in breaking the quiet atmosphere and said to Xiu'er who was sitting next to him: "Xiu'er, I'm going to join the army. I'll leave with them tomorrow. I didn't discuss it with you in advance, don't be angry."
Xiu'er heard Jia Rong's words and said anxiously: "Brother, why do you think about joining the army? You'd better not go there. You don't know that the people who went to join the army have never come back, and I don't know how they are in the army now."
Jia Rong looked up at the sunset, stood up and said, "I trained these children. They will go to the county town tomorrow. How can I feel at ease to let them join the army? I hide in the village myself, so how can I feel at ease?"
"What's more, life should be about hard work; someone once said, "Three parts are destined to heaven, and seven parts are determined by hard work." Only in this way can one be worthy of one's own life. Even if I don't join the army, what's the point of living in this small villa? Men should be determined in all directions." Jia Rong continued.
Jia Rong looked back at Xiu'er and said, "Xiu'er, can you understand what I said?"
Xiu'er sobbed and said, "I know I shouldn't stop Brother Jia from joining the army, but I really don't want Brother Jia."
After saying that, she threw herself into Jia Rong's arms and cried in a low voice.
Facing the fact that his beloved was about to leave, the girl's reserved heart was completely let go.
Jia Rong patted her back and comforted her, not knowing what to say. She had never been in love in her previous life and had no experience in this area. However, she read many books on this area, but she had no practical experience.
Xiu'er also felt that her behavior was a bit too extreme and struggled to get up from Jia Rong's arms.
Feeling Xiu'er's intention, Jia Rong did not let go, but hugged her tighter. He lowered his head and kissed Xiu'er's forehead. Looking at her red face, Jia Rong almost couldn't control himself.
Xiu'er struggled even more and said, "Brother Jia, please let me go, it makes others see what kind of demeanor it is."
At this time, Jia Rong used his cheeky skills and said, "Xiu'er, do you like me?"
Xiu'er also forgot to struggle when she heard Jia Rong's words. She lowered her head and kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, but just didn't say anything.
Jia Rong knew that it was time for him to play, so he continued, "Xiu'er, when I gain fame in the army in the future, I will definitely come back to marry you."
Xiu'er was not silent this time and replied in a low voice: "Well, I will wait for Brother Jia."
Jia Rong was also very excited when he heard Xiu'er's words. In his previous life, no girl was willing to date him, but he didn't expect that after traveling through time, he gained his own love. When he gained the heart of the girl he liked, that kind of joy was indescribable.
Jia Rong was not blinded by the sudden joy. He calmed down and thought for a while and said, "Xiu'er, if there is no news from me in three years, you can find a good family to marry. You are a good girl, don't delay your life because of me."
Xiu'er struggled to sit up from Jia Rong's arms and looked at Jia Rong and said, "I will wait for Brother Jia. I only have Brother Jia in my heart, I will wait for you."
Jia Rong did not refute it. Various examples from his previous life told him that no matter how good love is, it cannot withstand the passage of time. Jia Rong believed that Xiu'er would not wait for him without his news for a few years, but this time Jia Rong was wrong.
Jia Rong held Xiu'er in his arms and said, "Then, wait for good news from your elder brother."
After saying that, he hugged Xiu'er tighter. For a moment, he felt that the responsibilities he shouldered became heavier. Not only did he live for himself, but there was also a girl waiting for him.
Looking at Xiu'er's pretty face and feeling Xiu'er's convex figure in her arms, Jia Rong couldn't help but feel a sense of heat in his heart. He lowered his head and kissed Xiu'er's delicate and red lips, which made Xiu'er sobbed.
After letting go of her thoughts, Xiu'er was not as dodged as before and allowed Jia Rong to kiss her. However, Jia Rong was also an inexperienced rookie. She didn't know the key to kissing, but she just kissed Xiu'er's red lips.
At the same time, Jia Rong's hands kept stroking Xiu'er's devilish figure. After a while, Xiu'er completely collapsed in Jia Rong's arms.
After a long time, Jia Rong stopped and hugged Xiu'er quietly, thinking that he had traveled from modern times to the ancient times and had such a kind and gentle girl. Everything seemed to be in a dream.
Jia Rong lowered his head and said to Xiu'er who was in his arms: "Pinch me and use some force!"
Xiu'er showed a puzzled expression, but she still obeyed Jia Rong's words and pinched her hard.
Jia Rong said with a roar, "It hurts so much!"
Xiu'er hurriedly rubbed the place where she had pinched Jia Rong just now and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Jia, I didn't mean it."
Jia Rong looked at Xiu'er's expression of complaining that she was too hard, and quickly said, "I asked you to pinch me to see if I was dreaming about having a girl as beautiful and gentle as you."
Ancient girls had never heard of such sweet words. When Jia Rong said this, Xiu'er hugged Jia Rong tightly, with a happy expression on her face.
Jia Rong looked up at Tianse and said to Xiu'er, "Madam, it's getting late, let's go back!"
Xiu'er spat: "Who is your wife? I won't be your wife, you are a disciple."
Seeing Xiu'er look ashamed and unable to do it, Jia Rong stopped teasing her. Jia Rong squatted down and said, "Come on, Xiu'er, I'll carry you back."
Xiu'er hurriedly said, "Brother, how can this work?"
Jia Rong thought about it and felt that he was too abrupt. In ancient times, women paid great attention to fame and matters between him and Xiu'er were just decided privately. But he still said: "Xiu'er, just let me carry you for a while, and I'm leaving tomorrow."
Xiu'er did not argue this time, but leaned over and lay on Jia Rong's back.
I have to say that women in ancient times developed quickly. When they felt Xiu'er's figure on their backs, Jia Rong was distracted again.
In the Han Dynasty, the wife was the husband's principles, that is, the wife had to follow her husband. To put it bluntly, it was an accessory, that is, brothers were like brothers and feet, and women were like clothes. Jia Rong's behavior was criticized in the Han Dynasty.
Although Jia Rong violated ancient customs with Xiu'er on his back, Jia Rong didn't care. He was a time traveler and did not pay attention to these etiquettes. Xiu'er was also very happy because Jia Rong was willing to bear her, which means that Jia Rong liked her very much and he had a great weight in his heart.
Just when Jia Rong was about to approach the entrance of the village, he put Xiu'er down.
After returning home, Jia Rong found Old Man Li to discuss the recruitment of the troops tomorrow.
Jia Rong said: "Old man, I will go to the county town with the children tomorrow. I don't know what advice is for me."
In response to this, Old Man Li sighed and said, "Since you have made a decision, I can't stop you. You just need to take care of yourself in the army, without any eyes."
Jia Rong said: "Thank you, old man, for reminding me that in the past six months, we can only have Jia Rong today and will be rewarded in the future."
"It's enough that you can have this kind of heart. Actually, I've seen that the little girl is interested in you long ago; alas, this girl." Old Man Li said.
Looking at Old Man Li's expression of being reluctant to speak, Jia Rong said, "Please rest assured that as long as I can make achievements on the battlefield in the future and gain fame, I will definitely marry Xiu'er and take care of her for the rest of my life."
