Yes, wars may be caused by weak national strength and surrounded by foreign enemies, or they may be provoked by those in power in order to achieve their own fame and fortune, thus plunging the world into misery.
However, regardless of the cause, the government's excuse for recruiting troops from peasant households must be "to protect the family and defend the country, drive out foreign enemies, and make meritorious contributions."
However, these people evade military service, they don't think about their homeland, foreign enemies, or meritorious deeds at all, they just don't want to go to war, they don't want to be killed, they don't want to become crippled.
This idea seems so simple and simple, but it is very scary to think about.
A person who does not even have the honor of his family and country can still be expected to take on the responsibility of "family".
Only adult men are required for conscription, and women are perfectly allowed to raise children at home, but they insist on fleeing with their wives and children, in fact, they just don't want others to take their daughters.
They will be extremely cowardly and incompetent in the face of stronger people, but in the face of wives and children, and in the face of good people, they will become extremely greedy and murderous.
The most frightening thing is that these are likely to be their "reserves" of food when they run out of water, and they have enough reason to convince themselves that rather than starve to death all of them, they should sacrifice some people for another.
Otherwise, where did the wives and children who fled with them go, and why did only a few "strong" men remain in the end?
Reflecting the faint moonlight, Su Xin watched as Yayoi's eyes flickered with a glittering light.
Su Xin had already heard what the boy in Yayoi's story was referring to, and he couldn't help but think that he was probably regretting his "stupidity" at that time.
Yayoi's voice was a little choked, and he slowed down before continuing to speak: The boy thought they had a point, because he had never seen anyone who didn't need food, clothes, or a house.
As soon as these people entered the village, they were like hungry wolves entering a pack of wolves, instantly breaking the peace and tranquility of the village.
In their eyes there is only food, food, food.
Whether it's in someone else's hand, or someone else's bowl, or someone else's house, they rush over and grab it and stuff it directly into their mouths.
In fact, there is not much food that really eats into the mouth of this madness, but more of it is spilled on the ground, trampled on, and trampled on.
There is no concept of cherishing at all, they just snatch other people's things vigorously, this one grabs and that bites, which is comparable to bandits.
In the face of these sudden people, some of the villagers hid in fright, and some were frightened.
Eventually, the appetites of these outsiders were satisfied, and the villagers gradually came back to their senses, and even quickly accepted them.
Speaking of this, Yayoi smiled bitterly, as if self-deprecatingly, and said: "Do you think these people are stupid, good or bad, and you can't even tell if the other party is a good person or a bad person?"
Su Xin didn't know how to answer, which reminded her of what her parents taught her when she was a child, maybe it was a bit cruel to let an ignorant child face those insidious and dirty things, but they never shied away from her watching the news that reported bad social phenomena, and even explained to her, expressed their opinions, and so on.
And Su Xin doesn't feel that early recognition of this society is to deprive him of his childhood.
Yayoi continued: Naturally, the villagers took them in and gave them houses, and each family gave them food, meat, vegetables, clothing, and so on.
The villagers told the villagers that there was another war outside, and that the government was conscripting soldiers every year, from children as young as 16 to 50 years old.
And when they go to the battlefield, few can come back alive, even if they come back with either broken arms or missing legs and feet, so in order to evade military service, they fled with their wives and children.
But there were homeless people everywhere outside, there was famine everywhere, their children died, their wives died, and they finally got here In fact, these homeless people were able to survive all the way, and I don't know how many corpses they stepped on, and finally when they had no food, their wives and children became their last spare food.
Of course they won't say that.
They lived in the village as a matter of course, and at first they were a little cautious, but then they found out that the people here were simply "stupid" and cute, and they began to try to take things from other people's houses, but the other party would not say anything at all, and then they gradually became emboldened, and even openly took other people's things for themselves.
The villagers still don't fight, they don't fight, they don't make trouble, which makes them completely unscrupulous.
They don't go to work, they wander around the village all day long and spoil other people's things, and they just take whatever is delicious and useful The so-called full of warm thoughts, until one day they felt that they were sure of the people of this village, and then attacked a woman in the village, but they didn't expect that the villagers would not resist everything, and this woman dared to resist, so they didn't do anything and tied her to the bed and insulted her.
The woman's husband found out and fought with them, and they killed him.
Some villagers found out about this and also came to crusade one after another.
For the villagers, everything can be shared, but love cannot, and whoever touches someone else's wife or husband will be attacked by the whole village.
Of course, it has never happened before.
When I really fought, I realized that the simple villagers were far from being the opponents of the outsiders.
Because they are like ferocious beasts, they do not show any mercy even in the face of old and weak women and children, while the villagers have a lot of care, and when they go to take care of their wives and children, they are killed by these people.
The fighting lasted from sunset until sunrise the next day, and at last it was the insulted woman who held her husband and lit a fire, setting the whole wooden house on fire, causing the people to panic, and finally the villagers worked together to kill them.
In the midst of the raging fire, the woman raised her head to the sky and made a terrible accusation, why did there be such a person in this world, why did they come to their village, all of them had no quarrel with the world, why did they suffer such a catastrophe The boy finally realized what an unforgivable thing he had done, and he didn't hesitate to jump into it as he watched the flames engulf his home and parents.
The surviving villagers collected the bodies of the teenager's family and placed them in their houses.
And he used the forbidden art that had been handed down to the outsiders and buried them in front of the houses of the people who had been afflicted by them.
Then move to another place and start a new life.
After listening to Yayoi's sad story, Su Xin muttered a sentence: "Yes, since God wants to give such a blessed land that is indisputable to the world, why should they be plunged into danger":
