stand back, let me come

Chapter 400 Chapter 400: Ten Crows and Huge Disasters ([-])
On the city wall, tall and strong soldiers were beating and beating, working in full swing, and you could even hear a few laughing chats when you got close.

"...Hahahaha, do you see that my craftsmanship has improved? Look at this wood chipper, it is smoother than the head I chopped off on the battlefield... Where is my scorpion?"

"Have any of you seen my dick?"

The companion said: "It's being crushed by your butt!"

After the voice fell, several people nearby laughed.

In addition to this harmonious scene, from time to time, one of them can be seen carrying a log two or three feet long and jumping from the base of the city wall to the tower all the way up the tower. gas.

Dozens of hundreds of people built it there, and made a simple prototype of the long-burned city tower.

The flag on the city wall was also changed to the unfamiliar "Shen".

The gates of the city that had been shattered before were also re-pressed, half-closed and half-closed, a group of refugees did not dare to go forward, they just found a place to hide and hide, squatting until their legs were numb, and they waited until a few The common people came out of the city carrying poles.The bamboo baskets at both ends of the shoulder pole are filled with heavy objects, which bend the two ends of the pole.

At this time, another whistle sounded on the city wall.

The soldiers who were working stopped what they were doing one by one, and gathered together with several commoners one after another, lined up in an orderly manner, and received the steaming dry food and warm soup one by one, and found a random place, or Stand or squat or sit to eat up.

The smell of food wafted through the air into their nostrils.

grumbling-

Wu Zang Temple sang the empty city plan.

Saliva overflowed from the mouth, and the stomach began to colic. Prompted by hunger, someone bravely came out of the hiding place.As a result, the soldiers didn't look at them, nor chased them away or scolded them until they got close——

"What for?"

A person suddenly appeared from behind.

The thunderous sound made the man shiver in fright.

He put his hands on his head and wanted to bend down to escape, but someone grabbed him by the collar: "Sneaky, but a spy?"

"Why are Shousheng scaring him?" Just as the common people shouted "I'm going to die", another person came over.

This person was also bohemian, probably because he was too hot to work, half of his sleeves were taken off and tucked into his waist, exposing half of his arms.

"Hey, I've been paying attention to him for a long time."

The man named "Shousheng" put him down.

"...Look at his appearance, he is either a refugee here, or a commoner of Ru Yao... If you scare people into a bad way, be careful that Mr. Shen will trouble you." Zhao Feng wiped his sweat and put it in his mouth Pancake, smiled.

As soon as he heard the word "Shen Jun", the man's attitude changed 180 degrees, and his smile was a little cautious.

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

The captured commoner: "..."

Although Zhao and Feng spoke with foreign accents and did not look like locals, just because they didn't get rough on themselves, the common people regained some sense of reason.He watched the two 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 embarrassing and pitiful appearance, Lu Jue also knew what he wanted to inquire about, so he took the initiative to say: "I am under the tent of He Yin Shen County, and I was transferred to Longwu County by the king's order with my lord."

When he said this, the common people understood.

The co-author is the new sheriff.

Although not very optimistic about the fate of the new sheriff, surrounded by two tall and strong men on one left and one on the right, and dozens of people around, the common people still feel a little more secure in their hearts, secretly looking forward to being able to Live in peace for a few days.

Lu Jue saw that he was staring longingly at the pancake in his hand, and he was skinny, so he asked immediately.

"Are you from Ru Yao? Live in this city?"

The common people seemed to have been stabbed in the heart, and nodded with a gloomy expression: "If you return to Lord Bing, I will live in the west of the city."

However, it was already in ruins.

That group of horse bandits rushed into the city, and that area was the first to bear the brunt. All the belongings he had managed for many years were gone, and only him, his old wife, and a pair of children were left in the family, and the others were all dead!
Just a few days ago, my old wife also died of illness.

The son and daughter hid in the ruins of the city relying on the food the couple saved between their teeth, and they didn't know if they starved to death.

Thinking of this, the common people are even more desolate!

"Seeing that you're not very old, why don't you stay and work, with two pancakes as wages for half a day..." Lu Jue paused when he said this, and added, "I can pay you for half a day first."

The common people thought they had heard wrong.

It wasn't until Lu Jue greeted someone and divided himself two pancakes that he woke up like a dream. He couldn't wait to grab the pancakes and gobbled them up like a hungry ghost. If Lu Jue hadn't handed him a bowl of warm soup, the pancakes would have been eaten It stuck in his throat and choked him to death.

Looking at the red eyes of the common people hidden behind the dense mist, he sighed softly, and Lu Jue followed closely: "There is an urgent shortage of people here at the construction site. If you know other people, you can call them over to work together. The same salary, regardless of gender."

"Yes, yes, I know a lot of people."

The common people only ate one, and kept the other in their arms, with a plan in their hearts—maybe the two children are not starving to death, so they can share the pancakes.When I think of the child's ecstatic eyes, I feel strength all over my body.

The other refugees also saw this scene in their eyes, coupled with the yelling of their accomplices, they bravely stepped forward one by one, and advanced half a day's "salary" from Lu Jue in advance.

When the pancakes with the aroma of food were put into the mouth, the tears that were suppressed made the tip of the nose sour and the eyes red.

Lu Jue sighed as he watched this scene.

The common people of Longwu at this time are much more difficult than the common people of Heyin back then, but Lu Jue is even more fortunate that they are stronger than himself back then, no matter in terms of strength or financial resources, otherwise looking at this scene, he would only feel "powerless" in his heart Two words.

These ordinary people struggled even to walk, let alone do heavy work. Lu Jue only arranged for them to do some light work, such as delivering things and clearing small gravels under the city wall.

In the blink of an eye, the twilight merges.

The common people dragged their tired bodies back to the west of the city with pancakes soaked in his warmth in their arms, only to realize that most of the ruins along the road had been cleaned up and the foundations re-divided, which was quite different from what he remembered.Soon, he returned to the old house.

To be precise, it is the ruins of an old house.

The hearts of the common people are mostly cold.

There is no trace of the child here.

Dazed and flustered, he called out the child's baby name aloud, yelling, intense grief and grievance welled up in his heart, he fell to the ground, weeping loudly, calling out "my baby" continuously, weeping Si cross flow.

After crying hoarsely, someone came over.

"Why are you crying?"

The common people slumped on the ground and patted their thighs.

Wuwawa said: "My baby..."

The man pointed in a direction.

"Don't cry, go to that asylum and see if your baby is there."

Where do the common people have the strength to stand up?
In the end, he was held up by this kind-hearted man, and he limped to the so-called "shelter workshop", and saw a clean little face head-on.Who else could it be if it wasn't his daughter?

Suddenly experiencing great sorrow and joy, he passed out straight away, and it took a long time to recover from that breath, holding the two children and crying bitterly.

It was only known from the mouths of the two children that when they were about to starve to death, they were rescued and woke up in the "shelter workshop".

And this "shelter workshop" was run by the new sheriff.

Specially resettled the homeless common people.

After the buildings in the city are completed, we will arrange to go there.

Hearing the words, the common people bowed and bowed in the direction of the government office, thanking Shen Tang for protecting his only two relatives.

The common people around him didn't stop him, it was a life-saving grace, and multiple etiquettes were acceptable.

But those who are as lucky as him, after all, are a minority, and more people still lost almost all their blood relatives in that catastrophe, and those who survived by chance also died of starvation, freezing, or illness...

at the same time--

Yongguguan.

The atmosphere in the pass was heavy, and the clothes on the soldiers were almost useless to keep out the cold. They were cold and hard, sticking to their bodies like a piece of ice.Even so, each of them has to fight mental patrols, not daring to slack off in the slightest...

The only time you can breathe a sigh of relief is when you change shifts.

Hide in the broken barracks tent.

The tent is also cold, but at least it is better than outside.

A group of comrades gathered together, and there was enthusiasm.

At this time, someone's stomach rang.

[gurgling]

A group of soldiers were frowning.

In the past month, the grain received has become less and less, and the corn porridge has become thinner and thinner. The supply of military pay is not timely, and it is difficult to distribute even clothing to keep out the cold.Some brothers couldn't bear it and sneaked away, while the rest were still suffering.

"...Alas, this ten-crow who suffered a thousand knives..."

Someone cursed.

Everyone echoed in their hearts.

don't-

If it weren't for Shi Wu's group of grandsons, they wouldn't be facing the current situation.The group of grandchildren seemed to see through their predicament, and they would run to the pass to show off their power or feign an attack every now and then, scaring them so much that they didn't dare to slack off on duty all night.

Come and go again and again, the spirit can't stand it.

Coupled with the lack of resources in various aspects...

They don't know how long they can last.

But if you can't support it, you have to support it.

If Yonggu pass is lost, Shiwu's group of grandsons will be able to swing their troops and drive straight in. How can the crumbling national border barrier stop them?At that time, Long Wu will not be the only one who will suffer.

Just when they were itching their teeth with hatred, an ecstatic cry came from outside the tent, making everyone stand up.

"The food is here!"

"Army rations are here!"

I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but I found out it was true when I went out of the camp. A full two thousand shi of grain and grass were sent over.After hearing the news, the chief secretary of the army hurried over, 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 aroma.

"Open the others to see!"

Bag after bag, not a single bag is adulterated.

Looking at the quality, it should be the new grain produced this year, not the old grain that has been piling up in the grain depot for a long time, good stuff!

Two of the carts were still dried meat and pickles.

"Where were these seized?"

This is the master's first thought.

Immediately, doubts arose again. Longwu County didn't have many lessons on planting wheat, and [-]% of the two thousand stones were wheat...

The soldiers transporting grain shook their heads and replied, "It wasn't captured, it was all sent from Ru Yao's administration..."

The master book was surprised: "You ruled the place?"

Wasn't that place slaughtered by horse bandits?
They also sent people back to help, but unfortunately it was too late.

The master clerk asked again: "Are you sure?"

The food transport soldiers nodded heavily: "I'm sure."

As he spoke, he also took out a sealed document from his bosom, handed it to the master book with both hands, and the master hurriedly took it, opened it for a closer look, and inside was a detailed record of each cart of military rations.

There are not only the food they are in urgent need of, but also a hundred sets of winter clothes, hundreds of feather arrows and a few jars of wine.

Although there are not many, it says on it that the rest will be delivered in batches, and the signature is the Sheriff of Longwu County——

Shen Tang, Shen Youli.

The master closed the documents: "When did the new governor of Longwu County come? Are these sent by the new governor?"

The soldiers transporting food thought carefully.

"About five days."

The master's face turned gloomy.

He had heard that Zheng Qiao had transferred a new sheriff to Longwu County, but that was a long time ago, and the other party had never taken office. Both he and the general believed that the other party was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was unwilling to come to Longwu County—— It's best if you don't come, Zheng Qiao's lackeys, eyes and ears, can they have other skills besides dragging their feet?
When the time comes, they are fighting the enemy bravely in front, and that guy is flirting with Shi Wu behind his back.

Zheng Qiao's lackeys can really do it.

The master had already forgotten about the new sheriff.

I didn't expect people to come out unexpectedly.

At first, he also sent two thousand stone baggage.

The grain transport soldiers carefully observed the master's changing face: "Master... this grain..."

The master book smiled inwardly, and said, "Accept it."

Food, who would dislike too much?
I just don't know what the other party wants.

The guards at Yongguguan were not as large as they were in their heyday, and with the increase in deserters these days, two thousand shi of food would be enough for the remaining soldiers to feed for a while.The master ordered to go down, to have an extra meal today, and the big guy had a full meal, and sent someone to send a few jars of wine to the general so that he could satisfy his hunger and write another letter.

　　I was sad today, and I suddenly wanted to eat a spicy casserole, but my stomach hurt for a long time, and I was sweating coldly...
