Back Off, Let Me Come

  Chapter 400 Chapter 400: Ten Black and White Disasters (Ten)

   On the city wall, tall and strong soldiers are beating and beating, working in full swing, and you can even hear a few laughing chats when you get close.

   "... Ha ha ha ha, 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?"

   Companion said: "It's being pressed by your butt!"

  The voice fell, and 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 towers.

  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 floated into their noses along the air.

   gurgling—

  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 are you doing?"

  A person suddenly appeared from behind.

  The thunderous noise made the man tremble.

  Holding his head in his hands, he wanted to bend down and run for his life, but someone grabbed him by the collar: "Sneaky, are you a spy?"

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

  This person is also bohemian, probably because he is too hot to work, half of his sleeves are 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 "Shou Sheng" 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 a mouthful of pancakes into his mouth, smiled.

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

   "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

  The arrested common people: "..."

  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 Juedao: "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.

  Looking at 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 is here.

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, and secretly hope that they can Live in peace for a few days.

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

   "Are you from Ruyao? Live in this city?"

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

   However, there is already a ruin.

  The gang of horse bandits rushed into the city, and that area was the first to bear the brunt. All the property he had managed for many years was 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 sons and daughters 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 one in their arms, with a plan in their hearts—maybe the two children are not starving to death, and this pancake can be shared among them. When I think of the child's ecstatic eyes, I feel strength all over my body.

  Other refugees also saw this scene in their eyes, coupled with the yelling of their accomplices, they boldly stepped out 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 she held back made the tip of her nose sour and her 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 handing things and clearing small gravels under the city wall.

  Blink, 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 the old house.

  The hearts of the common people are more than half 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.

   Crying hoarse, someone came over.

   "Why are you crying?"

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

  Wow wow wow: "My baby..."

  The man pointed in a direction.

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

  How can 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 in front of him. Who else could it be if it wasn't his daughter?

  Suddenly experienced great sorrow and great joy, and passed out straight away. It took a long time to recover from that breath, and cried bitterly while holding the two children.

  It was learned 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" is owned by the new county guard.

   Specially resettle the homeless common people.

   Wait for the buildings in the city to be built before making arrangements.

  When the common people heard the words, they 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 the lucky ones like him are a minority after all, and more people still lost almost all their blood relatives in that catastrophe, and those who survived by chance also starved to death, died of freezing, or died of illness...

at the same time-

  Yongguguan.

  The atmosphere in the pass is heavy, and the clothes on the soldiers are almost useless to keep out the cold. They are cold and hard, sticking to the body like a piece of ice. Even so, each of them has to go on a mental patrol, not daring to slack off in the slightest...

  Only when the shift changes can I breathe a sigh of relief.

  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 warmth.

   At this time, someone's stomach rang.

  【Gulu Gulu】

  A group of soldiers were frowning.

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

   "...Ai, this ten black who suffered a thousand knives..."

   Someone cursed.

  Everyone echoed in their hearts.

   Can't—

  If it weren't for Shiwu'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 with hatred, an ecstatic cry came from outside the tent, which startled everyone and made them stand up.

   "The food is here!"

   "Army rations are here!"

  I thought it was an auditory hallucination, but when I got out of the camp, I realized it was true. 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!"

   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 piled up in the grain depot for a long time, good stuff!

   Two of the carts are still dried meat and pickles.

   "Where were these seized?"

   This is the first thought of the director.

   Immediately, doubts arose again. Longwu County did not have many lessons on planting wheat, and 90% of these 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: "Ru Yao ruled?"

   Wasn’t that place slaughtered by horse bandits?

  They also sent people back to help, but unfortunately it was too late.

  The Registrar 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, and handed it to the master bookkeeper with both hands. The master bookman hurriedly took it, opened it for a closer look, and inside was a detailed record of each cart of military rations.

   Not only the food they are in short supply, but also hundreds of winter clothes, hundreds of arrows and several jars of wine.

  Although there are not many, it is written on it that the rest will be delivered in batches, signed by 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 grain recalled 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. He and the general thought that the other party was greedy for life and afraid of death, and they were unwilling to come to Longwu County—no It's the best, Zheng Qiao's lackeys, eyes and ears, can they have other skills besides dragging their feet?

   Don't wait until that time, they are fighting the enemy bravely in front, and that guy is flirting with Shiwu behind his back.

  Zheng Qiao's lackeys can really do it.

  The director had already left the new sheriff behind.

   I didn't expect that people would come out of nowhere.

   When you come, you will also send two thousand stones.

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

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

  Food, who would dislike too much?

   I just don’t know what the other party’s intention is.

  The guards at Yonggu Pass were not as large as 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 book.

   ()

   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...
