Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 72 A tooth for a tooth

 The matter is now in half, the same is true for Tu Lin, and the same is true for Li Shi, but in order to prevent accidents, Li Shi still suppressed the excitement in his heart, did not say anything to Tu Linduo, and did not ask him to move back to the Tu family , and did not ask him for money. It won't be long before everything about Tu Lin will be hers, so she has nothing to worry about.

After leaving the county office, Mrs. Li and Father Tu left. During this period, Father Tu did not speak a word to Tu Lin.

Tu Lin waited at the door for a while, and then he waited for the scribe. After receiving the written paper from the scribe, and after checking it to confirm that it was correct, Tu Lin thanked the clerk, and then left.

Mrs. Li's patience was not as good as Tu Lin imagined. It was only a day after the marriage was over. On the afternoon of the next day, Tu Xinmei went home to visit Zhuang Zhuang, and at the same time brought back a message to Tu Lin, saying that the official Cui was going to The restaurant told her that Father Tu and Mrs. Li had indeed reported Tu Lin's name to the yamen servant who was in charge of registering for smoking.

Mrs. Li calculated her own affairs, and everyone would know when the incident happened, and Tu Xinmei was no exception, so Tu Lin also told her. Because he doesn't go to the shop often now, and the clerk Shuisheng is an outsider, he asked Cui Dianli to send Shilixiang when he got the news, and then Tu Xinmei brought it to him.

The next day after he got the news, Tu Lin went to the county government office again. This time he was looking for Dianli Cui, and then he saw with his own eyes that Dianli Cui was on the official list of soldiers that needed to be sent to the Ministry of War. Write down the name of Tu Wendong.

Tu Lin didn't want to be so entangled with Li Shi, Tu Wendong and others, but they still refused to let them go. This gave him a chance to solve them.

If Tu Wendong went to serve in the army, Li would definitely not be able to accept it, but the roster had already been set, and she had no choice but to leave soon. But Tu Wendong is a frail scholar, how can Mrs. Li rest assured that he will travel alone, maybe his whole family will move north with Tu Wendong.

At that time, they will be thousands of miles away, and Mrs. Li will no longer be able to trouble them. Of course, this is the most ideal situation in Tu Lin's imagination, and it is still unknown whether it will be as he imagined in the end.

Many plans have finally been settled at this moment, and the next step is to wait. When the conscription is officially over and the drafted soldiers gather to prepare for departure, the drama will come to an end.

Fortunately, this time was not long, but three days later, Tu Wenqiang came to Zhuxi Village again, but this time he did not come to inform Tu Lin, but according to Li's order, he told Tu Lin that Tu's father was seriously ill. He went back to have a look.

Tu Lin naturally readily agreed, letting Ruan Tang rest at home with peace of mind, and went to Lijiagou with Tu Wenqiang.

At this time, in Lijiagou, there were government servants calling people according to the roster in the open space in the middle of the village, and when they were all there, they took them to the county government together. After resting for a day, tomorrow he will set off northward with soldiers recruited from other villages and towns.

Tu Lin knew early on that Father Tu was pretending to be sick just to deceive himself, so that he would be taken away by the guards, so he was very energetic when he saw him standing in the crowd with a ruddy complexion, but after seeing him, Father Tu, who looked a little dodgy, didn't I wasn't surprised, even when I saw Tu Wendong next to Father Tu and Mrs. Li, there was no strange expression.

Seeing that he was going to be unlucky, Tu Wendong naturally didn't want to miss this scene, and now that there were guards present, he was not afraid of what he would do, so he stopped hiding and finally dared to show his face in front of him.

When Tu Fu and Li saw that Tu Lin found out that they had been cheated, they didn't ask them anything, didn't intend to leave, and didn't want to do anything to Tu Wendong, which made them feel a little puzzled. But soon, when the guards pronounced the word "Tujia", they didn't have much thought about it anymore.

It was finally Tu Lin's turn. Thinking that the plan was about to be completed, the joy and excitement on Li's face were already undisguised, but the next moment, her expression froze instantly, because she What he heard in his mouth was not the word 'Tu Lin', but 'Tu Wendong'!

The other people in Lijiagou who were watching, especially the village chief Li Chengxiang also looked shocked. He came to his senses before Li Shi, and asked the guard in disbelief: "Master, do you see Wrong, how could it be Tu Wendong, it should be Tu Lin?"

Mrs. Li didn't let her two sons serve as soldiers, and she didn't pay them any money, so Li Chengxiang naturally had to ask, and then he knew how much Mrs. Li had done to Tu Lin. calculation. His hatred for Tu Lin was not much less than that of Li Shi, so he was naturally happy about it, but he didn't expect such an accident to happen in the end.

The guard was questioned by Li Chengxiang, and he was very dissatisfied immediately. He said, "It's Tu Wendong written on it. Where did Tu Lin come from? Even if I don't know how to read, can't I still count? If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself." Of course Li

Chengxiang To see, Tu Wendong is the hope of their clan, how could he be a soldier. It's just that there is one person who is one step faster than him, and this person is naturally Li Shi.

"Impossible!" Li Shi finally came back to her senses. With a scream, she rushed to the guard and snatched the roster from the guard's hand.

Although Mrs. Li is a woman, she is loved by her parents at home, and has a younger brother who is a scholar, so she can also read. However, when she saw that after the word "Tu Family" on the roster, it was really not "Tu Lin" but "Tu Wendong", Li Shi felt like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, his eyes darkened, and he collapsed in a flash. on the ground.

The guard took the roster back in time with sharp eyesight and quick hands. He was relieved when he saw that the roster had not been damaged. He glared impatiently at Mrs. Li, but he was too lazy to argue with a woman like Mrs. Li, and then looked at Mrs. Li. In the direction of the Tu family, he said impatiently: "Which one is Tu Wendong from the Tu family?

Hurry over here. " How could it not be Tu Lin who was going to be taken away as a soldier, but himself?

Thinking of those people in the village who couldn't come back after being taken away, thinking of those who came back alive by luck, but turned into crippled and pitiful appearances that everyone can bully, Tu Wendong felt dizzy for a while. He didn't want to be a soldier, he didn't want to be blind and disfigured, he didn't want to be disabled, he didn't want to die!

With a thud, Tu Wendong knelt down towards Tufu, pulled Tufu's arm and begged unceasingly: "Father, daddy, save me, please, save me, I don't want to be a soldier, I don't want to die, you Help me, dad—"

But what about Tu Fu? He is just an ordinary country guy, and even at this time he has not recovered from the rapid development, how can he save Tu Wendong.

The guard had long been impatient, and after hearing what Tu Wendong said, he said, "You are Tu Wendong? You don't want to be a soldier? You can't help yourself at this time." After speaking, he waved his hand and asked the other two guards to catch Tu Wendong.

Tu Wendong was so frightened that he didn't bother to beg Tu's father anymore, he stood up and was about to run, but he was already terrified and surrounded by many people from Lijiagou, so he was killed within a few steps. Two guards caught it.

"No, it's not me, I'm not Tu Wendong, don't catch me—" Tu Wendong cried and begged tearfully, he didn't have the slightest demeanor of a gentle scholar in the past, and he kept struggling when he was caught by the guards.

The two guards had seen this kind of scene a lot, and their expressions were as usual, but when Tu Wendong was making a fuss, they kicked Tu Wendong twice, making Tu Wendong scream even more miserable.

The son's screams woke up Li Shi, and she rushed up to protect Tu Wendong, and shouted in her mouth: "He is not Tu Wendong, you have arrested the wrong person, he, he is Tu Wendong, he is, you go and arrest him!" He!" Li said and pointed to a person, and this person was not Tu Lin's expectation, but Tu Wenqiang, not himself.

It is impossible for Mrs. Li to let Tu Wendong be taken away by the guards anyway, but she can't think of any way in a short time. It was Tu Wendong's crying that inspired her just now, that is, let someone else replace Tu Wendong with Tu Wendong's name Go to the army.

As for the candidate, Li's first thought was naturally Tu Lin, but she also knew that Tu Lin would never cooperate with her, and she might be accused of deceiving the government in the end, and besides Tu Lin, the only other choice Only Tu Wenqiang is the only one.

Tu Wenqiang is her son. He has listened to her since he was a child, and he has a close relationship with Tu Wendong's brother. He should be willing to serve as a soldier for Tu Wendong. Although she also hated Tu Wenqiang, in order to keep Tu Wendong, she could only do so cruelly.

After listening to Li Shi's words, the two guards subconsciously looked at Tu Wenqiang who had been stunned as soon as Li Shi said the words, and unconsciously loosened their hands, allowing Li Shi to pull Tu Wendong over.

The officer who called the roll asked Tu Wenqiang, "Are you Tu Wendong, or is he Tu Wendong?" Although they brought people according to the roster, it didn't really matter whether they were themselves, as long as there were enough people, and Tu Wendong They are actually quite bored with such a noisy one, so it would be nice if they could change to an honest one.

Before Tu Wenqiang had time to speak, Mrs. Li said first, "Third son, you can rest assured and go with the messenger. Mother knows that you are a filial child. Don't worry about your wife and children. With father and mother here, you can still take care of yourself." With your second brother, I will take good care of you, and you don't have to worry about anything."

Li Shi said very sincerely, although Tu Wendong was always more important than Tu Wenqiang in her heart, but after all, she was her own son. I also feel a little sorry for Tu Wenqiang.

Tu Wenqiang opened his mouth. He couldn't tell what he was feeling at the moment. His throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't see clearly. He stretched out his hand to wipe it, only to realize that he was crying.

There was a pain in his left hand. He turned his head and saw that his wife, Mrs. Song, was holding her two-year-old daughter and holding his arm tightly. Her face was full of tears, and her eyes were full of pleading looks. Own.

Tu Wenqiang didn't answer for a long time, the guard was a little impatient, and Mrs. Li was also anxious. She didn't even care to appease Tu Wendong, she got up and ran to Tu Wenqiang, pushed Song's mother and son away, and wanted to say something to Tu Wenqiang, but she just said the word "old three" just because she didn't want to, and she rolled her eyes and fell on Tu Wenqiang. , was subconsciously caught by Tu Wenqiang.

Before Tu Wenqiang knew what was going on, he heard Tu's father shouting angrily: "Tu Lin, you, how dare you do anything to your mother?" Following

Tu's father's gaze, Tu Wenqiang saw the girl standing beside him and Li Shi. Behind Tu Lin, Tu Lin said indifferently: "Father, mother is getting old, too emotional is not good for her health, and my son is also kind. Send mother back to the room to rest." The last sentence of Tu Lin is Say it to Tu Wenqiang.

Tu Wendong's existence today was planned by Tu Lin alone, how could Tu Wendong escape, not to mention that Tu Wenqiang is now one of his own, and he has to protect him, so just now he slashed Mrs. Li unconscious with a knife .

Li Shi couldn't wake up from this dizziness for at least two hours. By the time she woke up, it would be night. By then, Tu Wendong had already been taken to the county government, and the gate of the city was closed. Even if she found someone to replace Tu Wendong , is also completely impossible.

Tu Lin's sudden action stunned everyone present, including several servants, especially Tu Wendong. Seeing that Tu Wenqiang did not agree to replace him, but really followed what Tu Lin said, he was going to send Mrs. Li back home. He was stunned. He called Tu Wenqiang, and called Tu Fu, begging Tu Fu to save him. He wanted to rush over, but was held down by two guards.

Tu Wenqiang turned and left when he heard Tu Wendong's yell, but in the end he left without hesitation, and Song, who was weeping with joy, hurriedly pulled his daughter to follow.

At this moment, Tu Fu and Tu Lin were the only ones left in the Tu family. Tu Fu didn't know what to do, so Tu Lin gave him a suggestion, saying, "Father, would you sacrifice yourself to save your son?" Tu Fu was

startled , He took a deep look at Tu Lin, and then looked at Tu Wendong, his eyes were full of pity and intolerance for Tu Wendong, but that was all. He opened his mouth, but never said the words 'I am Tu Wendong'.

It was a farce, but nothing changed in the end. Although the guard felt a little disappointed, it was quite interesting to watch the excitement, so he didn't say anything. It was just because Tu Wendong was making too much trouble, and in the end someone tied him up and stuffed his mouth, so that his ears were finally clean.

Before Tu Lin came, the guards had already ordered most of the rosters. After the Tu family affairs were over, the recruitment of Lijiagou was soon over. Together with several other guards, they left Lijiagou with the selected people and returned to the county. The yamen returned to their orders. But because Tu Wendong was still unwilling to toss about, he found a thick wooden stick and asked two Lijiagou villagers to carry him away like a pig.

With the conscription finally over, Tu Lin also planned to return to Zhuxi Village. Tu Fu seemed to have something to say to him, but Tu Lin didn't want to talk to him, he just took out a piece of paper from his pocket and threw it to him, regardless of Tu Fu's changed expression after seeing the contents of the paper. , just left. .
