Chapter 11 Lottery
The next morning, after breakfast at Qin Wu's house, someone came to visit.
"Uncle Qin Wu, is Sanyu there?" Qin Qing followed his lover and stood at the door carrying things.
Qin Qing came here specially to thank him, but now that he thinks about it, he still feels scared for a while.If Qin Sanyu hadn't discovered Bai Chihopper in time yesterday, and later used a trick to blow up Bai Chihopper, he might not have survived in the end.
Even if he was dull, he knew how much kindness this was. In addition, Qin Sanyu was a quasi-talisman master, so even if he was not well, he came over to thank him immediately after waking up.
Qin Sanyu was polite to Qin Qing, and he accepted Qin Qing's thanks.
"By the way, Sanyu!" Qin Qing said suddenly, "Tian Cheng is dead, I'm afraid the guards are going to recruit again now."
"Hiring?" Qin Sanyu's heart skipped a beat.
In the village, the guard is not a good job.The escort team is too dangerous, and not many people in the village want to join it.However, the income of the guards is quite high, two black copper coins a month, and joining the guards allows you to practice warrior skills. There are many people who want to go in for money or power, but such people are relatively few.
Although the conditions are good, there are still few people who take the initiative to join.
In order to avoid the shortage of guards, the village can only compulsorily conduct lottery selection at this time.This is mandatory, so everyone who is eligible must attend.
"How is Tian Cheng's family?" Qin Sanyu asked.
"What else can I do! The village has given compensation, but there is so much compensation, people can't come back!" Qin Qing said with a wry smile, "Tian Chengcai joined the guard team for less than a year, and he hasn't married yet, so he couldn't keep a family. back!"
Joining the guard is precarious, and one day there may be no people left. Few people like this are willing to marry, so they are usually married and want to join for income.
It is very difficult for someone as young as Tian Cheng to get married.
After Qin Qing left, Qin Wu's family looked very heavy.Someone died in the village again, but the key is that if someone dies, someone must make up for it.If no one joins by themselves, they can only be forced to draw lots.Therefore, the atmosphere in the whole village became tense.
"Father, let's go to Tian Cheng's house together later!"
"Should be!"
It was almost noon when he came back from Tian Cheng's house, so Qin Sanyu couldn't be blamed for Tian Cheng's death.After all, Qin Sanyu was still a quasi-talisman master, and no one dared to embarrass him.Qin Sanyu was just a pity, if Tian Cheng hadn't just been concerned about running for his life yesterday, he might have saved his life.
In the afternoon, the village head sent someone to ask Qin Sanyu to come over.
When Qin Sanyu arrived, he found that Qin Shi's two talisman masters were already there.In addition, including Qin Hantian, Tian Shu and the other two vice captains, Qin Jian and Zhao Rui have also come over.What surprised Qin Sanyu the most was that besides them, the village blacksmith Zhao Dashi was also there.
Qin Sanyu bowed to everyone and sat down.
"Sanyu, as a prospective talisman master, you are still a student of Mr. Shi and Mr. Qin. You should also participate in the village meetings in the future!" said the village chief.
Qin Hantian and the others smiled and nodded to Qin Sanyu. The two old gods, Qin Fushi and Shi Fushi, were expressionless.
"Yes!" Qin Sanyu nodded, his status has risen with the tide.
"Okay, I brought everyone here today mainly because of the guards!" said the village chief, "Also, yesterday Sanyu reported that he encountered a white red grasshopper. Please discuss how to deal with this matter?"
"Since the white red grasshopper has appeared, let the guards strengthen their defense in the past few days!" Qin Hantian said, "In the past, two people patrol together. For the sake of safety, let's work harder these days and let four people go together Already!"
"There are only a few people in the guard now. If there are four of them together, the scope of the patrol will be enlarged. Can we still come here?" Qin Jian asked.
"There's no other way, just bear with it for a few days!" Qin Hantian smiled wryly.
Qin Jian frowned, but didn't say anything.
"In this case, let's make this decision!" The village chief nodded, "I also ask the captains to work harder these days, and personally lead more people to patrol and patrol!"
Qin Hantian and the others nodded and agreed.
"Also, the people who make up for the guards?" The village chief hesitated.
After saying this, everyone was silent.
"Ahem!" At this time, Qin Fushi coughed lightly, and seeing that everyone was paying attention, he said, "There is a shortage of manpower, so we can't come up with any ideas. I discussed it with Brother Shi, and we will pay each month in the future. Each bodyguard will send out an extra explosion talisman!"
Qin Hantian and the others were overjoyed when they heard the words, and stood up again and again to thank them.
The Explosive Flame Talisman is a medium-grade talisman, and one is worth at least fifty or sixty coins.There are a total of twenty or so people in the guard team, that is to say, after a month, this is about ten black copper coins, even for a talisman master, this is not a small amount of money.
The village head also stood up and thanked Shi Lao and the two. One more talisman, it is very likely that one more life.
"Let's draw lots!" Zhao Rui said, "Since we lost people last time, we haven't made up people. If we don't make up people, other people can't bear it anymore. You can't just stop recruiting because you are afraid of death. Otherwise, if there is a crisis in the future, where will you be?" There are still hands!"
After some discussion, everyone decided to recruit people, and this time they would recruit two people at once.
The two talisman masters did not object either, only Zhao Dashi remained silent throughout the meeting.
Soon, the village chief announced the decision to the village.
This decision hangs over the heads of all the villagers like a haze.
After returning home, Qin Sanyu told Qin Wu about the matter.Qin Wu's complexion also became heavy, because according to the previous conditions, Qin Shi, who was 15 years old this year, also met the requirements.
"Sanyu, can you tell the Shifu masters to cross out Xiaoshi's name!" Tian Mei's eyes turned red.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Don't make trouble for Sanyu! Besides, there are so many people in the village, how can they choose the second son?" Qin Wu shouted.
"Mom, I'm not afraid!" Qin Shi stood up and said, "If I really want to go to the guard, I can still make money for my family!"
"What kind of money does the family want you to make!" Tian Mei scolded, what happened to Qin Sanyu yesterday, she really couldn't bear it if Qin Shi went to the guards at home, "I just hope you are safe and sound at home That's fine!"
When encountering such a thing, Qin Sanyu was also a little helpless. He could understand his parents' feelings, but he didn't know what to do.If Qin Shi was really drawn, he didn't think it would be a bad thing.
If you join the guards, you can learn exercises, and you can have some self-protection ability, so there is no harm.And with him behind him, even if he encounters danger in the wild, he is safer than others.
Whether they are willing or unwilling, there is no way to change the matter of being selected into the guard by lottery.
People over the age of 40, brothers and women, including those with escorts and families who have been sacrificed before, can be exempted from the quota, while the rest must participate in the lottery.
The preparations were quickly completed. The next day, everyone in the village except those patrolling by the guards had to participate in the lottery. Those who met the criteria had been visited by the village chief yesterday, and today they all had to Put your name into a prepared wooden barrel, and then draw lots in public.
This is fairly fair, and the village chief's son was involved in the lottery this time, so everyone can't complain.
It's just that this time it's not a good thing, and everyone looks heavy.
The village head said a few words, and immediately started organizing the vote.Soon, pieces of paper were thrown into the barrel, and it was Qin Shi's turn after a while. At this time, Qin Shi finally became nervous.
"Let's go!" Qin Sanyu patted him on the shoulder.
"Yeah!" Qin Shi forced a smile.
He walked forward, Qin Sanyu followed behind him, everyone thought that Qin Sanyu was with Qin Shi and no one thought it was anything.
The person in charge of writing the names was Tian Shu, and Qin Jian and the village head supervised them together, so there was no way to cheat.Qin Shi reported his name in front of Tian Shu, Tian Shu glanced at him, wrote his name and handed him the note.Qin Shi glanced at the name on the note by himself, took a breath, crumpled the note into a ball, took a few steps, and threw it into the barrel.
"Qin Sanyu!"
Qin Sanyu walked up to Tian Shu and gave his name.
"Qin Sanyu, what are you doing?" Tian Shu frowned at him, and Qin Jian and the village chief also looked over.
"I should also meet the requirements, and I'll draw lots too!" Qin Sanyu shrugged.
Tian Shu stood up abruptly, and Qin Jian and the village chief were both shocked, and the village chief quickly said, "Sanyu, what are you doing, don't mess around!"
"Village chief, I really didn't mess around!" Qin Sanyu said, "According to the logic, I am also eligible!"
Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and suddenly remembered that Qin Sanyu was indeed eligible.But the problem was that Qin Sanyu had a special status, they didn't think about it at all, not to mention him, even the villagers didn't think about asking Qin Sanyu to participate in this lottery.At this time, under the eyes of everyone, the village head and others wanted to stop him but couldn't speak. Tian Shu glanced at the village head, and the village head nodded helplessly.
There are more than 100 people, so they are not so unlucky and just got Qin Sanyu!
Seeing this, Tian Shu wrote Qin Sanyu's name expressionlessly.
At this time, it was finally time to draw lots. The village chief himself did this. One hundred paper balls were thrown into the barrel, and the village chief had to draw two places from them!
There was no delay, the village chief wanted to settle the matter earlier and end it sooner, so he directly pulled out two balls of paper.
He opened the first ball of paper first, and his heart skipped a beat.
Qin Yuan was his son!The village chief took a breath, suppressed his emotions and opened the second ball of paper, on which the words Qin Sanyu were impressively written.
