But he turned his head and saw the people around him, gobbling up one by one, even the little scum that fell down, they were carefully covered with their clothes, and after eating a cake, he didn't forget to carefully put these scum into the palm of his hand, and put it in his mouth, after truly achieving a state of no waste, this Gu Zheng originally planned to spit out the remaining scum in his mouth, and then stopped.

No, his behavior was too strange to be the behavior of a man who was forced to do it.

And the hungry stomach and the body in desperate need of energy are telling him that we need to eat, we need protein and carbohydrates.

This man, in order to live, he can endure any kind of suffering.

Now is not the time to be hypocritical, let's eat!

With a big gulp of swallowing in his throat, the roughness became more and more obvious, and after only three or two sips, Gu Zheng couldn't help but pick up the soup bowl next to him, and took a sip of the soup that also didn't look good, to send down the rough steamed cakes.

Well?

Is it bean soup?

In order to supplement the physical strength of the people, a little salt is added to it, although it is very light, and the beans are only inferior products like bean skin and bean stalks, but surprisingly, it is not difficult to drink.

With the soup sent down, Gu Zheng finally ate the meal cleanly, and when he got up again and stepped forward to return the soup bowl, his body had already recovered a little strength because of this period of repair and filling his stomach.

At this time, the sky has already darkened, and it is no longer a good time to continue working.

The foreman in the field did not make it difficult for these people anymore, but asked everyone to put their tools in a pile, and then drove them in the direction of the rest house above the embankment.

Finally able to rest, Gu Zheng's heart was a little more steady, but his eyes were not idle, he was trying to observe the surrounding terrain and environment, hoping that after receiving the memory, he could provide some vital help for his future path.

When he arrived at his destination, Rao was already accustomed to the hard life of the new world, and Gu Zheng was also stunned by the environment.

The so-called houses where the people rested were nothing more than small temporary sheds made of broken wood and rotten leaves and some materials such as dead grass.

In it, casually paving some soft plants can be regarded as the beds of these people.

The colorful and tattered bedding looked like the peasants brought out of their homes when they came to serve their labor.

I don't know how long I've been working here, but a musty smell came from the open room.

Gu Zheng hesitated at the door of this row of low and aggrieved small rooms, but he finally found his place under the greeting of the familiar middle-aged man in the daytime today.

"Zhengzi, why are you stunned there? Why don't you hurry into the house to rest, be careful that the soldiers patrolling for a while will arrest you as a man who wants to escape, and you will be whipped ten lashes in the street as punishment. ”

"Oh oh oh, here it is. ”

Gu Zheng, who was in a daze, with a look of gratitude, lowered his head and bent over into the room that the uncle pointed to.

This is a small triangular shed, with little space inside, only two empty positions, and you can enter it, sit or lie down.

The height of this house ...... couldn't tolerate Gu Zheng standing up.

He took advantage of the little light left outside to look inside, and found a broken bedding that was not too bad, and after thinking about it, he got inside.

After seeing that the old man behind him did not express any doubts, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

I didn't make a mistake in judgment, this young client, judging by his physical condition, thought that he had just arrived at the construction site for a long time, otherwise with such poor living conditions and such a great work intensity, his body would not have been as strong as it is now.

……

The air in the room was very dull, even if it was a familiar person, there was no interest in chatting, Gu Zheng, who was covered with quilt skin, gently closed his eyes, and received the memories of this world that belonged to the client.

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Zheng couldn't sleep.

He felt that he had fallen into a pit, a huge pit that could not be violated by a huge man.

Because the identity of this client is a man who is building the Grand Canal, and the fate of this man is too bumpy.

His hometown is right in the middle of the Tongji Canal and the Yongji Canal. The land of Qilu stretches among the small villages that stretch over the hills.

Adhering to the principle of proximity to recruit people from all over the country, their hometown has become the hardest hit area for recruiting labor.

The people of Qilu are so honest and straightforward, so that the work is done with their heads buried in their lives.

After they had worked hard and overtime to survive the Tongji Canal built in the first three years, they thought they could be liberated and returned home, so the group of people turned around and were taken to the construction site of the Yongji Canal in the northwest of their hometown, where they continued to repeat their work year after year, digging.

And when this client, who didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky, survived three years of forced labor in the new channel, and crawled out of the buried place where nearly 30 million bones died, when he returned to his hometown, he found that he had no home for a long time.

……

The whole village was dead.

All the young and strong people who were able to work were transferred to the front line of conscription, and only the lonely and helpless old and weak women and children remained.

If this is the case, everyone can continue to suffer, but in the process of waves of additional apportionment of grain and taxes for the construction of channels, the daughter-in-law who can't survive, the old parents who have remarried and can't eat enough, have to go to the unfathomable and dangerous mountains to beg for a living.

The old man in a village, who can't crawl and starves to death, and who can move is also nowhere to be heard, the Shenshan Road, which is full of traces of wild beasts, shows everyone's slim road to survival.

Just when the client fell into a state of confusion and no way forward, frantically chasing the clues to the survival of the villagers in the village, in the village, there was a long-lost servant in the court who smelled the wind and moved.

Because, the end of the Grand Canal is imminent, and the purpose of this completed Grand Canal is not for the people, but to fulfill a wish of the emperor today.

That is to conquer the Quartet and make Goguryeo, which is full of thorns, bow to the ambition of his feet.

In the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, who is strong and strong, what they need is not soldiers who go out to fight, but those people who provide them with the transportation of expeditionary materials.

The unlucky client, just a few days after returning home, contributed his only remaining strength to the granary reserves of the capital.

He was dragged away again and entered the journey of the food delivery team, and this time, good luck did not favor the client again.

Years of hard work destroyed his body, and the dispersion of his hometown broke his will.

A walking corpse, a man who has lost the will to live, is quickly entangled by the disease that follows him.

However, one winter, there was another nameless corpse on the burial ground of the Grand Canal.

After the initial opening of the river, in the boiling yellow water, with the water, there is no trace of his survival in the world.

In the confusion, he didn't see the reincarnation of the underworld that the ghosts and gods said, but he was just wandering in a chaotic situation, without knowing the purpose.

And at this moment, a golden ball, like the most shining sun in the world, appeared in front of him, and asked him the words that had been directed to his heart for so many years.

"Do you have a wish? You should have been a person whose children would have died in the end, and you were willing to do so for the rest of your life?"

Hearing this inquiry, the floating client finally understood the reason why he had been wandering: because he was unwilling.

Not willing to be satisfied with his own idle life, unwilling to be unwilling to be raised by his son but not to be treated, not willing to be unwilling to work for whom!

He also wants to live a life for himself and his family.

Therefore, the client before laughing and forgetting the book sincerely prayed: I wish to come back to my life, get rid of my useless labor, and save my fellow villagers in this troubled world.

Thanks a lot.

has been regarded as a god of laughter and forgetfulness, using the trick of pretending to be a god to make a ghost, conjuring up two contracts, and after the two parties signed it, they led Gu Zheng's soul here.

Gu Zheng, who saw the beginning and end of the incident, just wanted to beat him up with a smile and forget his book!

This wish is so humble, but it is so difficult to accomplish.

What time is it?

The second half of the construction period of the Sui Grand Canal.

The people of the whole country are doing one thing, that is, building rivers.

And the identity of this client is just an ordinary river worker among tens of millions of people, how can he use his own strength to drag his family and lead the life of a village of old and young?

Into the mountains?

What to eat?

Can you feed so many people yourself?

Rebel?

I don't have my own overlord color, which makes people bow down!

Although this series of actions will eventually evolve into that chaotic and weird situation, there are too many people who want to enter the game, and a little shrimp like himself who is not even a poor family is too uncomfortable to protect himself in the midst of ups and downs!

He needs to plan well and think clearly about the follow-up.

For a while, although Gu Zheng was very tired, he was tossing and turning, and it was difficult to fall asleep anymore.

Suddenly, outside the humble house, there was a commotion of noise, followed by the light of a dazzling torch through the gaps in the wooden planks.

The sound outside was intermittent, so that the uncle who was about to fall into a deep sleep on the side was also awakened.

"Zheng Wazi, what's going on, why is it so noisy outside?"

Gu Zheng turned over, squatted at the crack of the door, and looked outside.
