Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 168 Chapter 168 The martial master who returned from Huangsha City
This new year was as lively as Mu Yu expected.

During the day, the villagers wear new cotton-padded clothes and walk around with smiles on their faces to greet each other. In the evening, every household burns cooking smoke and emits the aroma of food, and the whole Taoyuan Village is filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Mu Yu went to Wang's yard, and Wang's daughter, Xiao Anran, crawled around on the collapsed floor, making babbling noises.

Lu Qiao, who was playing with Xiao Anran, saw her coming, and said softly, "Madam and the doctor are guarding Master Wu in the side room, Master Wu has woken up and said he has something to say."

Mu Yu nodded at her and went to the side room.

In the side room, the atmosphere was dull, not only Mrs. Wang and the female doctor, but also several other attendants.

When Mu Yu arrived at the bed, Master Wu was sitting on the edge of the bed with a lot of gauze wrapped around his body, his lips were pale.

Someone handed her a stool, she took it and sat down, first asking the doctor, "How is Master Wu doing? Is there any danger?"

"fine."

Master Wu said, but he lacked confidence and his breath was weak.

The female doctor said, "Master Wu is physically strong, and the trauma looks serious. It's not a big problem to give birth to a child, and there is nothing to fear when the wind and cold enter the body. It's just that he needs to rest well for a while."

Mu Yu probably understood the situation, and was relieved knowing that there was no major problem, and asked,
"Master Wu, did you come back from Huangsha City? How is the situation there? What's the matter with your injuries?"

Master Wu's throat moved, someone immediately offered him water, he raised his head and drank it, and only then began to talk about the experiences of the past few months.

After Master Wu finished speaking, the room was completely silent again.

Mu Yu sighed, he didn't expect the situation in Huangsha City to be so bad.

When rescuing Xin Lei before, Xin Lei said that Huangsha City was occupied by a group of 300 bandits, bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil, but now Master Wu's place has become another look.

When Master Wu arrived in Huangsha City, the bandits were not very successful. They were divided into two groups, one group of 70 people, and the other group of 40 people. The missing part was killed by others, and a small part died in the city. Most of the people's resistance died at the hands of the rebels.

But it turned out that the rebel army did not go far, because the second prince led troops stationed in Tongzhou to the east of Huangsha City, and there were enemy troops in the northeast. It is even more impossible for Jinzhou to be at the foot of the emperor. Bazhou in the southwest is a good place to go, but General Ling led an army here to suppress the rebellion.

The rebels had nowhere to go, and there were internal problems again. There was a rebellion and a rout. They couldn't take care of themselves, so a group of deserters came to Huangsha City and clashed with the bandits who occupied Huangsha City.

No matter how deserters are soldiers, they are much better than bandits and know more. Even though they are slightly inferior in numbers, they still managed to kill many bandits, and successfully intensified the conflicts among the remaining bandits, making them hate each other.

In addition to the two groups of bandits, rebel deserters, remnants of the defenders, and cannibal beggars, there are also Beidi stragglers who wander around for a while from time to time, and the rest of the ordinary people are divided into several groups and are not united.

When Master Wu arrived in Huangsha City, he first managed to contact the remnants of the defenders in the city. He used to be a member of the city lord's confidant and knew many people in the defenders, but unfortunately, he didn't meet them among these people. Familiar faces, only vague impressions of the two of them, this is enough.

He joined the garrison, took some time to figure out what was going on inside the garrison, and reassembled the 67-man team, more than half of whom were disabled.

It is impossible for this team to defeat the entire Huangsha City, nor can it defend the entire Huangsha City, but it is still possible to defend a few streets.

He contacted many common people and beggars, attracted many people to join, gradually controlled more than a hundred people, and then entered the bottleneck.

It’s not that he can’t find more people. There should be hundreds of ordinary people in this city. The problem is food. He doesn’t have enough food to feed these people, and they can’t do cannibalism even if they have a bottom line. tragedy.

This time he came back, in addition to wanting to reunite with everyone for the festival, but more importantly, he wanted to borrow some food.

In order not to expose the location of Taoyuan Village and cause additional trouble, he took the ten people who followed him to the residence of a group of thieves who had been killed before, and asked them to stay there temporarily.

Unexpectedly, this cautious approach brought disaster instead. The group of thieves he killed were the relatives of two of the defenders.

These two defenders were corporal leaders, they were quite prestigious in the team, and they were also brothers he valued very much. Therefore, when the two men slashed at him with their knives, he didn't react immediately and was injured.

In the end, ten people fought in a group, four died and three were seriously injured, and two of them couldn't accept it and left. Only one person stayed to take care of the wounded, and he hurriedly bandaged and went up the mountain.

The three seriously injured brothers needed timely medical treatment, and they couldn't survive with simple bandages.

People from the same background as Master Wu can understand this difficulty very well. Now they have a lot of food in the village, and it is not a problem for each of them to produce a hundred and ten catties. The location of Shi and Muyu.

The Wang family is still their master, and Mu Yu is the 'new master' who accepts them, and if he accepts the life here, he will be bound accordingly.

The man looked back and forth between the two of them for a while, and finally fell to the ground without moving.

Mu Yu looked at Mrs. Wang, the two exchanged glances for a while, and Mu Yu nodded.

Mu Yu sent a message to ask the female doctor and six men to go down the mountain with herbs and food to save people tomorrow morning.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and together with Master Wu thanked her for her kindness.

After everyone left, Mrs. Wang asked her if she wanted to take out food for Master Wu to do.

"You know, they obey me on the surface, but I can't really control them in this kind of thing.

Wuzhen is like a wolf. When one day he has his own wolves and power, will he threaten us in turn? "

"Sister Wang, it's a good thing to be cautious and stable, but we can't abolish our own arms for things that don't necessarily happen. The outside world is not peaceful, and we need such help."

Moreover, she doesn't think that Master Wu will betray, even if their positions are opposite in the future, Master Wu is not the kind of person who will drive out all the benefactors in the past.

The most important point is that there will never be such a day.

It took two days for the female doctor and his attendants to come back, and they brought back bad news. One of the three seriously injured was dead, and the other two were so badly injured that they couldn’t get out of bed for three to five months. I'm afraid it's also useless.

Mu Yu sighed, it was obviously impossible for Master Wu to bring these two people back, otherwise he might die on the way.

She ordered these two people to be taken to the manor to recuperate, and she also told them to take care of them.

Master Wu thanked her for her actions, and said that he would repay her kindness in the future.

Mu Yu didn't care about this, and gave him two thousand catties of grain, and asked him to take it away after he recovered from his injuries.

Master Wu didn't wait for his injury to heal, and left three days later with Wang's three attendants and food.

Mu Yu stood at the mountain gate and watched them go away, hoping that they would bring good news when they came next time.
