Traveling through the Three Kingdoms: She brings unlimited supplies to build infrastructure

Chapter 288 After the War
It had been snowing all night, and there was a thick layer on the ground.

The people in Linyu did not dare to light the lamps. The whole family hugged each other, listening to the shouts of killing and the chaotic sound of horse hooves coming from outside from time to time. They spent the night in fear.

The sun rises from the horizon, and the skylight shines on Linyu City.

The residents who had been waiting all night were surprised to find that the sounds outside gradually subsided.

There were no rioters rushing into the inner square, no raping and looting.

Under the organization of the village chief, young men guarding the square gate stood on the wall.

From a distance, I saw the rising smoke pillars in the city dissipating, and someone was organizing firefighting.

The young man, shivering with cold, rubbed his frozen hands vigorously.

Relatives at home piled their robes on him to ensure that he would not freeze to death in the cold night.

But when he stood guard on the watchtower of Yuanmen, he was still so cold that his teeth chattered.

Suddenly the sound of horse hooves came from the corner of the street, and he was refreshed.

But I heard someone loudly reading the notice of peace of mind in a neat and powerful voice.

A group of knights in black armor walked down the street, holding high a notice signed by the county government.

Behind the horses of these black-armored knights were leading several people with bloodied faces using leather ropes.

These people's wrists were tightly held by leather ropes, and they stumbled behind the knights.

When his legs became weak and he couldn't keep up, he fell down, but no one cared about him, so he was dragged down the long street until he was dripping with blood.

Those knights shouted: "I am now ordering the commanders of each district to obey the orders, close the gates of the houses tightly, and control the people. They are not allowed to leave without any reason."

"That's how you take advantage of chaos to burn and kill those who disturb the people!"

After saying that, a soldier dismounted in the road and pulled an unkempt man from behind.

This man was wearing no trousers and his legs were bare. Half of his life was gone. He was still pleading subconsciously: "Master, please spare me. I don't dare to do it anymore."

"This man's name is Ren Guo, and he lives in Yongxingfang. He sneaked into the neighbor's house last night during the chaos, raped and killed five members of the neighbor's family. Now he will be executed in accordance with the law." The black-armored sergeant shouted loudly.

After saying that, he kicked the crying man to the ground.

A foot stepped on his calf, and a black-gloved hand grabbed his bun, forcing him to kneel on the street.

The long sword cut through the wind and fell.

The headless corpse fell on the street, and the blood in the cavity spurted out in a fan shape due to the pressure, dyeing a large area of ​​​​the snow on the ground red.

A human head fell to the ground. After rolling twice on the ground, it stared aimlessly at the sky.

The bloody act of the black-armored knight killing people in the street made the young man standing on the watchtower feel hot in his blood, and most of his hostility towards them disappeared.

Seeing that the black-armored knight had killed someone, he slowly put away the blood-stained leather rope, then picked up the notice and walked to the gate of the square. He looked at the young man upstairs and hurriedly ran down to report to the chief.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

Although the mayor accepted the young man's report, he was still very nervous when he opened the door.

He gently opened the door of the workshop a crack and looked at the tall black-armored sergeants through the crack.

The sergeants were not upset and just stood there and let him watch.

The first thing that caught Li Chang's eyes was the black armor and thick military uniforms worn by these sergeants.

The black armor with the beast pattern engraved on the chest gives people the first impression of wealth!
Although it is wrong to respect Luo Yi first and then others, it is sometimes useful.

With the first impression that these soldiers were rich, the commander became bolder and opened the door with a confession.

After all, in their marginal poverty, there was nothing worth grabbing.

"Don't be afraid."

These officers and soldiers who had just killed people were still bloody, but they were very friendly.

The leading officer handed over a notice stamped with a red seal and informed that the area would be closed for three days after the war to clean up the rebels and rebels in the city.The officers and soldiers also told the village chief that during the ban, a temporary tour pavilion would be set up in the middle of each village.

As he spoke, he pointed in a direction and said: "If rioting soldiers rush into the inner square or there are rioters causing trouble, you can go to Youyouting and ask the sergeant for help."

"From tomorrow onwards, if people have difficulty in living during the lockdown period, they can also go to Yougouting to receive relief rice and food with the talisman letter."

As soon as the black-armored sergeant finished speaking, the young man standing on the watchtower just now said in a daze: "How is that possible?"

How could an army enter the city and not rob it, but instead distribute rice and grain?

What he blurted out made the commander suddenly change his expression. Just when he was about to reprimand, the sergeant laughed good-naturedly: "Why is it impossible? You'll know if you try it?"

This time, not only this young man, but also the people around him showed signs of excitement.

After informing the village chief of the notice and instructions, the soldier said that there was still another village to go to. He collected the corpse on the ground and the team of people walked away.

The door of the workshop was wide open, and the chief stood on tiptoe to look at the pool of blood on the ground.

Looking around, everyone had the same confused look as him. He coughed and put on airs: "Stop looking, do you hear me? You are not allowed to leave the inner square. Quick, close the gate to prevent the rebels from entering."

They knew very well the virtues of the Linyu City defenders.

I'm afraid the defeated army won't be so polite.

Unknowingly, the mayor, who had already obeyed the queue, greeted and closed the door again.

He dug out two lumps of wet mud from the corner of the wall and pasted the notice in his hand on the inside of the square door.

Then he put his hands behind his back, thinking about it, and loudly informed the people about it.

The young man who had been standing on the watchtower happened to change his defense and returned home thoughtfully.

His home is near the edge of the village. The simple but neatly kept yard is covered with a layer of snow. There is a half-mended fishing net on a shelf in the yard.

The door was locked tightly, and the young man shouted before the door opened.

Seeing that he was back alive, his father put down the hatchet in his hand and let out a long sigh of relief.

The windows inside the house are covered with fish skin to temporarily block the cold wind.

The young man's parents, siblings, all wearing only a single layer of clothing, were shivering around a brazier.

His mother brought a bowl of bland soup. His brothers and sisters looked at it and swallowed, but no one opened their mouths to ask for it.

The young man looked at the soup in front of him and looked around his home. The words of the black-clad soldier echoed in his ears again.

After a long time, he finally made up his mind.

We spent another night crowded together.

Finally waited until dawn.

The young man left home early in the morning. After checking the talisman letter with the village chief, he took a breath and stepped out of the house.

After walking along the deserted street for a while, his eyes lit up.

In the middle of the street, several large and colorful tents were really erected.

There are also soldiers standing guard and patrolling in all directions.

Someone noticed him from a distance, and under the scorching gaze, the young man's steps slowed down.

He was so scared that he wanted to turn around and go home, but stopped.

However, a soldier saw him like this and took the initiative to greet him: "What are you doing?"

The young man saw his hand on his saber, muttering for a long time, and then whispered: "The family is short of food. I heard..."

The soldier frowned and listened, then nodded and said, "Follow me."
