Ye Heng looked at the refugees who came over, nodded to them, and said, "Let's rest for a while, and then we'll wait for the others." ”

The refugees who caught up collapsed to the ground tired, panting for breath. If these people weren't with firm determination, it would be impossible for them to catch up with Ye Heng. Both horses are BMWs that travel thousands of miles a day, and they disappear from the sight of the refugees not long after they run, which invisibly creates a pressure on them to catch up.

Sure enough, not long after the chase, some people fell behind or even gave up. The reality is that many people will make a decision because of a moment of enthusiasm or impulse. When they calm down or find it difficult to achieve, they change their minds or simply give up.

The reason why Ye Heng didn't immediately agree but let them catch up was to eliminate those who didn't have strong beliefs, because after following him back to Pingcheng, he would face a real and brutal battle, and he would lose his life at any time. If you don't make up your mind or don't have a firm faith, you will only make mistakes on the battlefield and even affect others. As Ye Heng and Snow Wolf said, these people are ordinary people, and they don't even have the qualifications to become cannon fodder, and it is very risky to take them back, if they are filled with some people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, it is likely to disturb the morale of the army in Pingcheng.

After passing a simple test, most of the unqualified people were eliminated, and the rest were brought back to Pingcheng, which was somewhat considered to have made some contributions to Pingcheng. It is not enough to let these people go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and it is always okay to do something else within their means. After all, war is not only about fighting and killing, but also about logistical support, material transportation, and intelligence exploration.

Refugees followed one after another, gathering dozens of people outside the small city. Seeing that it was getting late, and there had been no new refugees for a long time, Ye Heng said: "Everyone wait for another half an hour, some people may not be able to keep up because of their poor physical strength." ”

"What's your name?" Ye Heng then raised his head and asked the young man who was sitting on a branch of a tree with a weed in his mouth and looking at the road.

"Big brother, my name is Zhang Axiao, you can call me my eldest brother, everyone in the family calls me that. The boy said with a smile.

Ye Heng nodded, took out some silver taels and said: "Boss, this is some broken silver, you take a few people to the city to buy some food, try to buy as much as possible, don't worry about the money, it's best to spend it." You fled all the way to Lintai City, it is estimated that it is difficult to eat a full meal, and today I was so tossed for an afternoon, many people are afraid that they are already hungry, and they must let everyone eat a full meal. ”

Zhang Axiao jumped down from the branch, his face was full of joy, his hands wiped and wiped on his clothes, then he took the silver and said, "Thank you, big brother, don't worry, I will never spend any money on it!" Then he turned to the refugees and found a few people to enter the town together.

Ye Heng and the others continued to wait, but the refugees still did not appear, but they saw a flatbed truck full of watermelons swaying towards the small city. When I got closer, I found that it was an elderly couple, the two were old and frail, there were a lot of things in the car, and it was estimated that the distance was also long, and it looked very difficult.

Although the road leading to the small city was smooth, there were many small pits of stones, and the elderly couple stumbled along the way pushing the wooden cart, and when they were about to approach the place where Ye Heng and them were resting, one of the wheels of the wooden cart tripped over a small stone and lost its center of gravity. The old man couldn't control it, and a cart of melons rolled over on the side of the road.

"My melons, melons that have been planted for a year!" Seeing that many of the watermelons that had fallen on the road had been broken, the old woman immediately threw herself to the ground, and could not help shedding tears and crying.

The old man pushing the cart blamed himself, tears rolled in his eyes, silently helped the wooden cart up, and began to pick up the melons that were not seriously damaged on the cart.

The refugees, who were supposed to be resting, immediately ran to help, they helped the old woman up, and then helped the old man pick up the watermelon.

"Uncle, do you sell this watermelon?" Ye Heng and Snow Wolf stepped forward and said to the couple.

"Originally, it was sold! However, young man, you have also seen that most of this is broken, how can this be sold! I thought that I could make a better life by selling melons, but this next year's hard work was in vain!" said the old man in a choked voice.

"Uncle, let me inquire, how much can this melon sell for when it's good?" Ye Heng asked.

"Like this, one can be sold for ten cents, but ......," said the old man, pointing to a good melon in the car that had not fallen.

Ye Heng immediately interrupted the old man's words and said, "Uncle, let's discuss, sell me one of these broken melons, do you think it's okay?"

"What did you say?" the old man asked loudly, stretched out his hand to grab Ye Heng's arm and asked, "Young man, what did you just say?"

"I said, one of these broken melons, one for each of us, do you sell them?" Ye Heng repeated.

"Sell, sell, sell, young man, thank you so much, thank you for your great kindness!" replied the old woman, stretching out her sleeve and quickly wiping the tears from her face.

"You're welcome, anyway, we have to open it when we eat it, the cracked melon not only saves trouble, but also gives you less than two pennies, I took advantage of you!" Ye Heng said with a smile.

"Young man, that's not what you said! I know you're kind and want to make us feel better, thank you, old man! Where are you buying our melons, you're obviously saving our lives!" said the old man excitedly.

"There are still some people behind us, so let's wait here, and I'll give you the money when I go back, what do you think?" Ye Heng asked very politely.

"Okay, well, we're not in a hurry, let's take a break here by the way!" said the old man happily.

"You can't rest, you have to count on the sidelines. Ye Heng smiled, and then said to the refugees who came to help: "Everyone is tired of running this afternoon, right?" I invite everyone to eat melons, each person takes one first, if you don't have enough to eat, you can only eat cracked, let's do it yourself!"

The refugees chased Ye Heng all the way, they were already thirsty, and after witnessing what happened, how could they not understand what Ye Heng meant, everyone stepped forward with a smile and took a broken melon, turned around and squatted on the side of the road, opened the melon along the crack, and ate it with a sigh.

These refugees don't know how long it has been since they had eaten a good meal, let alone eaten melons, not only did they finish the red flesh, but they also had a thin layer of melon skin gnawed.

Ye Heng and Snow Wolf also opened a melon each, but their eating appearance was much more gentle. Ye Heng was eating, looking around, and when he saw that someone had finished eating, he reminded: "Everyone let go of their stomachs to eat, and if you can still eat, come to the car and get it!"

These refugees were also polite, feeling that they could still eat it, but one person couldn't eat a melon, so they discussed it with others, and several people opened it and ate it separately, and it didn't take long for most of the watermelons that were broken in the car to be eaten cleanly. fantasy

The couple watched as there were fewer and fewer cracked melons, and the expression on their faces slowly relaxed, and finally showed a smile.

Everyone was still eating melons, and Zhang Axiao returned with a few refugees who were buying food, each carrying a large bag in their hands.

"Put down the things first, and come over to eat melons!" Ye Heng immediately beckoned.

A few people found a clean place, put down the things in their hands, and immediately came over to eat melons.

"Big brother, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I haven't eaten watermelon for several years, it's so delicious! Actually, I've been thirsty for a long time, this melon is delicious, it's delicious and thirst-quenching, it's really beautiful!" Zhang Axiao held the big watermelon and took a big bite while saying to Ye Heng vaguely.

"Then you can eat enough today, and if you can't finish eating, you can bring it with you, and eat it on the road tomorrow. Ye Heng said.

"But, it costs a lot of money, right?" Zhang Axiao said in embarrassment.

"Don't worry, it's nothing. Boss, let me tell you, I'm from Pingcheng in Guping Prefecture, and when you're full in a while, we'll go our separate ways. If everyone is willing to go to Pingcheng, you can go together, and if someone changes their minds, then divide some of this food among them, and don't stop them from leaving, understand?" Ye Heng said seriously to Zhang Axiao.

"Big brother, I haven't asked you what your name is, how to find you when I went to Pingcheng. Zhang Axiao asked.

"My name is Ye Heng, and I will return to Pingcheng before you. According to your footsteps, it will not pass until noon the day after tomorrow at the earliest, and I will meet you there. Ye Heng replied.

"Okay Brother Ye, I'll listen to you. "Zhang Adao.

Ye Heng patted him on the shoulder, then turned to the two old men and asked, "Uncle, how many melons have we eaten in total?"

"Young man, I have eaten a total of seventy-six broken melons, and ...... good melons have been eaten," the old woman hurriedly said, but her wife pulled her sleeve, interrupted her and said: "Young man, don't listen to her nonsense, she counted wrong, the good and bad add up, a total of sixty-one, you just give sixty money!"

The old woman looked at her wife, then stepped back and said no more.

"Uncle, I don't have any broken silver on me, only these ten taels of silver, you take it!" Ye Heng took out a silver ingot and said.

"You don't need so much, young man, you can't even use half a tael of these melons you eat!" the old man hurriedly excused himself.

"Uncle, listen to me, you take this silver first, I also want all the melons left in this car and the car! I know that there is still a surplus of silver, you take me to your field to pick some more, and finally we will calculate it together, how much more can you find for me, what do you think?" Ye Heng explained.

The old man took the silver and said excitedly: "Young man, you really saved the lives of our family! This ingot of silver is enough to buy melons from my land, even if you buy my land!"

"Then please take us around!" Ye Heng said.

"Well, young man, come with me. The old man happily led the way in front, Ye Heng and the snow wolf led the horse and followed behind, before leaving, Ye Heng told Zhang A Xiao a few words, and by the way, he took a small bag of food from the things they brought back.

The four of them walked towards the old man's farmland, Ye Heng gave the food in his hand to the two old men, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you so late, this is a bun just bought from the city, it's still hot, and the two of you are holding it to suppress hunger." ”

"Thank you so much, young man, for today, it's really an eye-opener for us to meet great people!" the old man said excitedly.

"Don't take it to heart, it's just that things are in a hurry, you are selling melons, I am buying melons, and we just met together. Ye Heng waved his hand and said.

"Young man, the uncle knows everything in his heart, no wonder he can marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law, this is called a good person has a good reward!" The old man looked at the snow wolf beside Ye Heng and said.

Ye Heng and Snow Wolf looked at each other and smiled, but did not answer.

"Young man, I was so happy that I forgot to ask you, how do you take the melons away after picking them for a while?" the old man suddenly slapped his forehead and asked.

"Don't worry, I have my own way. Ye Heng said with a smile.

When the four of them arrived at the farmland, the couple picked all the ripe watermelons in the field, and Ye Heng and Snow Wolf helped put them in one place. It was already very late after picking, Ye Heng put the watermelon into the acceptance ring in front of the two old men, how could the two old men have seen such a situation, their eyes widened in surprise, and they shouted that they had met the immortals.

Ye Heng and Snow Wolf rode horses to send the two old men home, and immediately returned to Pingcheng overnight.

The two old men looked at the direction where Ye Heng and the others disappeared, and they were full of emotion, feeling that today's events were like a dream, but holding the silver two in their hands, they knew that all this was true.

"Old woman, did you say that this pair of young people came down to earth from the golden boy and jade girl next to the gods and came to help us. The old man said in a daze.

"Surely it is!" replied the old woman.
