"Brother! Sister-in-law!"
While Fu Sheng and I were watching the Zhao brothers preparing the farmland, we suddenly heard hurried voices calling out from behind us.
We turned immediately and saw Fu Fei and Fu Li running toward us as quickly as they could.
The two of them looked completely out of breath by the time they finally reached us.
Fu Li bent slightly while trying to catch her breath properly while Fu Fei's face looked pale with worry.
Fu Sheng frowned instantly.
"What happened?" he asked quickly. "Why are you both here?"
Fu Li looked up immediately.
"The government soldiers are here," she said breathlessly. "They've already started taking young men and boys for the war."
The atmosphere around us instantly changed.
I exchanged a quick look with Fu Sheng.
"So they finally came," I muttered quietly.
