Chapter 400: Ten Crowds of Disasters (Ten)
On the city wall, tall and strong soldiers were knocking and fighting, working very enthusiastically. When they got closer, they could even hear a few laughs and chats. The content was roughly about their respective construction progress, what to eat for the next meal, and what style should the eaves...
"…Hahahaha, do you see if my craftsmanship has improved? Look at the wood cut, which is smoother and smoother than my brain cut on people on the battlefield... Where is my slut?"
"Whoever sees my slut?"
My companion said, "You are being pressed by your ass!"
As soon as the words fell, several people nearby burst into laughter.
In addition to this harmonious scene, from time to time, you can see someone among them carrying two or three feet long wood and jumping up from the base of the city wall to jump up to the city tower. A light seemed to flash under his feet, and he looked at the thief who looked like a brave warrior.
Dozens or hundreds of people built there, bringing together the burned city tower and sentry tower into a simple prototype.
The flags on the city walls have also been changed to unfamiliar "sink".
The city gate that had been ruined before was pressed again, half-closed and half-closed. A group of refugees did not dare to go forward. They searched for a place to hide and hide. Their legs were numb, and they waited until several common people walked out of the city with shoulder poles. The bamboo baskets at both ends of the shoulder pole are loaded with heavy objects, pressing the two ends of the shoulder pole to bend.
At this time, a whistle sounded from the city wall again.
The soldiers who were working stopped their work one by one, gathered together with several common people one after another, lined up in an orderly manner, and received the steaming dry food and warm soup one by one, and found a place to stand, squat or sit and eat.
The fragrance of food floated into the tip of their noses along the air.
Gulugulu—
Wudian Temple sang an empty city plan.
Salpitations were everywhere in the mouth, and the stomach and intestines began to feel colic. Driven by hunger, someone plucked up the courage to walk out of his hiding place. As a result, the soldiers did not look at them, did not drive them away or scold them until they got closer—
"What are you doing?"
A person suddenly emerged from behind.
The thunderous sound scared the man trembled.
He hugged his head with both hands and wanted to bend down to escape, but he was caught in the collar: "Sneaky, but a spy?"
"What did Shousheng scare him?" Just as the common people shouted in their hearts, another person came over.
This person is also unruly. He probably because he is too hot to work. He took off half of his sleeve and stuffed it into his waist, revealing half of his arm.
"Hey, I''ve been paying attention to him for a long time."
The man named "Shousheng" put the person down.
"...Look at his appearance, either the refugee who has been wandering here or the commoner of Ru Yao... If you scare people out of trouble, be careful that Mr. Shen will trouble you." Zhao Feng wiped his sweat, gave a pancake into his mouth, and smiled.
As soon as he heard the word "Shen Jun", the man''s attitude changed 180 degrees, and his smile was a bit cautious.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."
The arrested commoner: “…”
Although Zhao and Feng and others were elegantly speaking with foreign accents, they were not like locals, but just because they did not act roughly with themselves, they made the common people find some rationality. He looked at the two of them carefully.
"Where did these two soldiers... come from?"
Lu Jue said, "Come from He Yin."
The common people don’t know where He Yin is.
I want to ask clearly but I am afraid that it will anger the two of them.
Seeing his embarrassed and pitiful appearance, Lu Jue also knew what he wanted to ask for, so he took the initiative to say, "I am under the tent of the He Yin County Governor Chen County, and follow my lord to be transferred to Longwu County under the order of the king."
As soon as he said this, the common people understood.
The new county magistrate is here.
Although he was not optimistic about the outcome of the new county magistrate, he was surrounded by two tall and strong men on the left and right, and dozens of people were around, and the common people still felt a little more secure in their hearts, and secretly hoped to live a few days of stable life.
Lu Jue asked immediately when he saw his eyes staring at the cake in his hand longingly, and was skinny and thin again.
"Are you Ru Yao''s person? Live in this city?"
The common people seemed to be touched by the sadness and nodded in a dark look: "If you are Hui Bing, I will live in the west of the city."
However, there is already ruins.
The group of horse bandits rushed into the city, and the place was the first to be hit. All the property he had managed for many years was gone, and only the old and old people in the family were left with him, his wife and a pair of children, and the others were all dead!
Just a few days ago, my wife also died of illness.
The children hid in the ruins of the city with the food saved from the couple''s teeth, and they didn''t know if they starved to death.
Thinking of this, the common people are even more sad!
"Look at you are not old, do you want to stay and work? Two pancakes are used as wages for half a day..." Lu Jue said this, paused and added, "You can pay you half a day first."
The common people suddenly thought they had heard it wrong.
It was not until Lu Jue called someone and divided his two cakes that he woke up like a dream. He couldn''t wait to **** the cakes, swallowed them voraciously, and reincarnated as if they were hungry ghosts. If Lu Jue had not handed him a bowl of warm soup, the cakes would have choked him to death in his throat.
Looking at the common people''s red eyes hidden behind the mist, and sighed softly, Lu Jue followed and said, "The construction site is in urgent need of people. If you know people around you, you can call them to come and work together, with the same wages, regardless of gender."
“Yes, yes, I know a lot of people.”
The common people only ate one, and the other one was hidden in their arms, with a plan in their hearts - maybe the two children had not starved to death, so the cake could be eaten separately. When I think of the child''s ecstatic eyes, I feel that I have strength all over my body.
Other refugees also saw this scene, and with the shouting of their accomplices, they all took the courage to come out and advance half a day''s "wage" from Lu Jue in advance.
When the cake with the aroma of food is sent into the mouth, the tears that are suppressed make the tip of the nose sour and the eyes turn red.
Lu Jue was also sighing when he looked at this scene.
At this time, the common people in Longwu were much more difficult than the common people in Heyin that day, but Lu Jue was more grateful that they were stronger than themselves back then, whether in terms of strength or financial resources, otherwise, when they looked at this scene, they would only have the word "powerlessness".
These common people even struggled to walk, let alone do heavy work. Lu Jue only arranged for them to do some relaxing work, such as handing over something and cleaning up the small gravel under the city wall.
Blinking, the twilight is in full swing.
The common people dragged their tired bodies and carried the cakes in their arms with his body temperature back to the west of the city. Only then did they realize that most of the ruins along the road were cleaned up and the foundation was re-divided, which was very different from what he remembered. Soon, he returned to the old house.
To be precise, it is the ruins of the old house.
The hearts of the common people were mostly cold.
There are no traces of children here.
He was confused and panicked, and shouted loudly to his child''s nickname. As he shouted, strong grief and grievance surged into his heart. He fell to the ground, burst into tears, and kept calling out "My baby" in his mouth, bursting with tears.
Only when someone cried and his throat was hoarse.
"Why are you crying?"
The common people sat on the ground and patted their thighs.
Wow, "My baby..."
The man pointed in a direction.
"Don''t cry first, go to that shelter first to see if your baby is there."
Where can the common people still have the strength to stand up?
In the end, I was held by this kind-hearted person and limped to the so-called "sheathouse" and saw a small white-washed face. Who else could it be if it wasn''t his daughter? Suddenly experiencing great sorrow and joy, he fainted, and after a while he took that breath, he hugged the two children and cried bitterly.
It was only from the mouth of the two children that they were rescued when they were about to starve to death and woke up in the "shelp".
And this "shelt" was built by the new county magistrate.
Specializes in resettlement of homeless common people.
After the city’s buildings are built, then arrange them.
After hearing this, the common people bowed to the direction of the official office and bowed again and again, thanking Chen Tang for protecting his only two relatives.
The common people around him did not stop him, that was a life-saving grace, and he could bear any etiquette.
But those who are as lucky as him are, after all, are a minority. More people still lost almost all their blood relatives in that catastrophe. Those who survived by chance also starved to death, freeze to death, and died of illness...
at the same time-
Yonggu Pass.
The atmosphere inside the pass was heavy, and the clothes on soldiers were almost useless to keep warm. They were cold and hard, and they seemed to be covered with ice when they were pressed on their bodies. Even so, they have to force themselves to patrol mentally and dare not slackew...
Only when you are on a shift turn can you breathe a sigh of relief.
Hide in the broken military tent.
The tent is also cold, but at least it is better than outside.
A group of comrades gathered together, and they were also full of enthusiasm.
At this time, someone''s stomach was ringing.
【Gulugulu】
The soldiers were frowning.
In recent January, I have received less and less food, and corn porridge has become thinner and less supply of military pay is not in time, and it is difficult to even provide clothes for cold protection. Some brothers couldn''t stand it and sneaked away, and the rest were still enduring.
“…Oh, this ten-million-slayed beast…”
Someone cursed.
Everyone agreed.
No—
If it weren''t for the Shiwu''s grandsons, they wouldn''t have faced the current situation. The grandsons seemed to see through their predicament, and would run to the gate every now and then show off their power, or take a feint attack, which scared them to stand on duty overnight and dare not slacken.
After a while, I couldn''t bear the spirit.
In addition, there is a lack of resources in all aspects...
They don’t know when they can last.
But if you can’t support it, you have to support it.
If Yonggu Pass is lost, the group of grandsons of Shiwu can rush their troops and drive in. How can the crumbling national barrier block stop them? At that time, it will not be the only one who suffers.
Just as they were so angry that their teeth were itchy, an ecstatic cry came from outside the tent, which alarmed everyone to get up.
“The food is here!”
“Military rations are here!”
I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when I went out of the camp, I realized it was true. I sent over two thousand stones of food and grass. The chief clerk of the army rushed over after hearing the news. He opened a few bags of food and saw that it was indeed food. The particles are full, lying in the palm of his hand, exuding a unique fragrance.
"Open the others and take a look!"
Bag after bag, no bag adulterated.
Depending on the quality, it should be the new grain produced this year, rather than the old grain that has accumulated for a long time in the grain warehouse. It is a good thing!
Two of the cars are jerky and pickles.
“Where were these seized?”
This is the first thought of the chief clerk.
Immediately, I became confused again. Longwu County did not plant much wheat, and 90% of these two thousand stones were wheat...
The grain transporter shook his head and replied, "It was not seized, it was all sent from Ruyao Institute..."
The chief clerk was surprised: "Do you have the jurisdiction?"
Isn’t that place slaughtered by bandits?
They also sent people back to help, but unfortunately they were too late.
The chief clerk asked again: "Are you sure?"
The soldiers transporting grain were focused on: "Confirm."
As he said that, he took out a document with a varnished varnish from his arms and handed it to the chief clerk with both hands. The chief clerk hurriedly took it and opened it to take a closer look. It contained a detailed record of each vehicle of military rations.
Not only are they in urgent need of food, but also a hundred sets of winter clothes, hundreds of arrows and a few jars of wine.
Although there are not many, it contains the words, and the rest will be delivered in batches, and the signature is the county magistrate of Longwu County—
Chen Tang, Chen You Pear.
The chief clerk closed the documents: "When did the new county magistrate come from Longwu County? All these were given by the new county magistrate?"
The soldiers transporting grain carefully recalled.
“It’s been about five days.”
The chief clerk''s face suddenly turned gloomy.
He heard that Zheng Qiao transferred a new county magistrate to Longwu County, but that happened a long time ago. The other party never took office. He and the general both thought that the other party was greedy for life and feared death and were unwilling to come to Longwu County. It would be best if Zheng Qiao''s lackey was not there. Can he have other abilities besides dragging his back?
Don’t be brave enough to fight the enemy in front of you, and the guy is following the stern eyebrows behind his back.
Zheng Qiao''s lackey is really good.
The chief clerk had long put the new county magistrate behind his head.
I didn’t expect that people would come out suddenly.
At the first time, he also sent two thousand stones of baggage.
The grain transport soldiers were careful and carefully observed the change of face of the chief clerk: "The chief clerk...this grain..."
The chief clerk laughed in his heart and said, "Please accept it."
Who would dislike too much food?
I just don’t know what the other party is going to do.
The guards of Yonggu Pass were not as large as they were at their peak. In addition, the number of deserters increased recently, and the two thousand stones of food was enough for the remaining soldiers to eat for a while. The chief clerk ordered to eat more today. Everyone had a full meal and sent someone to deliver a few jars of wine to the general to satisfy his cravings and write another book.

??I was sad today, and suddenly I wanted to eat a spicy casserole. As a result, my stomach hurts for a long time and I sweat all over my body...
