"Cheng, where are we now?"
Carol poked her head out of the window and asked Su Cheng as he was driving.
"Let me see..."
Su Cheng drove with one hand, took out the map with the other hand and began to look seriously.
Su Cheng's driving skills are quite good. Even with a single hand, he can easily drive a carriage pulled by two horses.
"We are now in soma county."
"Soma County..." Eliza chewed the name. "I seem to have heard the name... And heard it more than once."
"It's normal for you to hear the name." Su Cheng said with a smile, "soma county is a well-known and rich place in the south of China. It is said that the developed economy ranks first in the south of China."
Su Cheng's words immediately raised the expectation of everyone in the carriage.
Even Su Cheng's chest is filled with a sense of expectation. He is full of expectation for this rich place who has long heard of his name.
……
……
"Mom, look."
DeLisa pointed her little finger out of the window.
"Someone!"
The carriage is now driving on a fairly wide field.
On both sides of Tianlong are neatly cut rice fields.
It was the farmers working in the rice fields that DeLisa was referring to.
"Well..."
Looking at the farmers working in the rice field, Su Cheng's eyebrows gradually wrinkled.
Because Su Cheng noticed something different.
There were three others who noticed the difference, including Carol, Eliza and Alan.
Only DeLisa and Maria, who are not ignorant of the world, lie on the car and boat and look at the farmers working in the rice fields and the young rice seedlings with curious eyes.
"Elder brother..." Alan whispered to Su Cheng, "why... There are some old guys working in the field..."
What Su Cheng and others noticed was that the people working in the rice fields were middle-aged and elderly people aged 4 or 50.
You can even see several white haired figures among these middle-aged and elderly people.
Looking around, I don't see any young adults.
"Ah, Su Cheng, look, there's a village ahead."
Eliza, who has the best eyesight among the people, said as she pointed forward.
Su Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked forward.
It was found that, as Eliza said, light and angular lines appeared on the horizon in front.
Only buildings have such lines.
Su Cheng could barely see several cooking smoke floating from these lines.
"... just in time, our horse is about to rest." Su Cheng whispered, "let's go to the village in front and meet our feet."
……
……
The villagers in this rural area are very friendly.
After seeing that Su Cheng and others were just ordinary travelers, they generously let them into the village and provided Su Cheng and others with a place to stay and rest.
After entering the village, Su Cheng's eyebrows remained locked.
It's not difficult to see from the appearance - this village is a very rich village.
The houses are solid wooden houses, the roads are clean and tidy, and the villagers wear decent and tidy clothes.
It's as like as two peas in the village.
That is - there is no figure of young adults
Only middle-aged and elderly people and children shuttle through the village.
Su Chenggang parked the carriage in an open place designated by the villagers. An old man with white hair and beard and about 60 years old greeted Su Cheng and others with a warm smile.
"Travelers, welcome to ovo village. I am the head of owo village, keff maiso. "
"Good afternoon, your Excellency the village head." Su Cheng responded to Kefu with a smile, "thank your village for providing us with a place to stay."
"It's just a small matter. You don't have to take so much trouble to thank us." Kefu smiled and waved his hand. "We are still very happy that you can come to our village. We haven't seen young people for some time."
"Having young people like you visiting our village can also make the atmosphere of our village more dynamic."
Hearing Kefu's words, Su Cheng's lips couldn't help pursing.
"... Mr. village head, I have a question for you."
"Well, if you ask me as much as you like, I will say everything I can answer."
Seeing that the village head had said so, Su Cheng was no longer polite and asked the village head directly:
"Village head, why are there no young people in your village?"
After hearing Su Cheng's question, the smile on the village head's face suddenly froze.
Just when Su Cheng began to blame himself for saying something wrong, the village head slowly put away the smile on his face and sighed.
"... why else... It's not because the country has been fighting for years..."
"About half a year ago, all the young workers in our village, both men and women, were taken away by the people of the state."
"It seems that they have been taken to the east to transport supplies."
"It is said that the war is over, but I don't know when these children will come back..."
"I just hope these children taken away by the state can come back safely and alive..."
Then the village head let out a long sigh again.
"Pulled to transport supplies?!" Su Cheng stared round his eyes and exclaimed, "your village head, this is soma County, isn't it?"
"Yes."
"Soma county is the richest County in the south of China, isn't it?"
"Is it the richest... I don't know if it is the richest County in the south of the country, but our soma county is indeed richer compared with other surrounding counties."
"Even the wealthiest villagers in soma county have been dragged to the battlefield to transport supplies?" Su Cheng's face was full of shock.
"Yes..." Kefu's face was filled with a bitter smile. "The city that governs our village is Kangcheng not far from here."
"At the beginning of the war with the Frankish Empire, the mayor of Kangcheng specially came to the villages under his jurisdiction and told us: the labor currently requisitioned by the state is completely sufficient, so we don't have to worry about the young people in the village being pulled to the battlefield to transport supplies. Let's continue to live at ease."
"However... Only half a year later, the city master suddenly told us that the civilian men requisitioned by the state are not enough, and the young people in our village have to be requisitioned to the battlefield to transport supplies..."
"Although we don't want to, there's nothing we can do..."
"After all, this is the order of the state. How can we disobey the order of the State... Alas... Damn war... I really hope this is the last time that the young people in our village have been enlisted in the battlefield..."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Carol poked her head out of the window and asked Su Cheng as he was driving.
