The sound of si-la-la sounded very pleasant, and soon a thick smell of burnt fire spread. The creamy white bark gradually turns an appetizing golden yellow, with slightly curled edges like petals.

"Eat, this one tastes better than potato chips!" Liu Yu picked up a piece and handed it to Yinzhen.

"What are carbohydrates? What are potato chips? Yin Zhen took it, raised his eyebrows and asked the doubts in his heart.

"Carbohydrates, also known as carbohydrate compounds, are found in most plants and fruits, and are one of the most important energy needs of the human body. When the body is tired and the muscles are weak, immediate carbohydrate supplementation can dissipate fatigue and restore the body. The bark we eat now contains a lot of carbohydrates. Potato chips are thinly chopped potatoes and fried in an oil pan, and my aunt often makes them for me when I am at home. Liu Yu replied slowly, and he also twisted a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it rattling.

Li Wei, the old man and Gao Jihuan, these children can't put down this simple but delicious food, and they can't get enough of eating a lot of food in a row.

The victims did the same, roasting all kinds of bark and eating them, only to feel that there was no discomfort in their stomachs, hearts, and limbs, and that their frozen bodies were warm inch by inch.

"Is your body warm? When it's hot, cut some cypress branches and set them aside, and send out some people to hunt in the woods or go ice fishing in the river. Liu Yu patted his ass and stood up, and shook his sleeves at Li Wei. I will go ice fishing with the fourth brother to the river, Gao Jiwan will take some women to collect more firewood, and you will take the young people among the victims to hunt...... You're always hunting, aren't you? ”

Li Wei was so ashamed that his face was red. said in a rough voice, "Young Master Lin, you underestimate me!" When it comes to hunting, I'm here! The words gave him two thumbs up and emphasized them together.

Liu Yu pursed his lips and walked towards the river with Yinzhen, who was smiling and squinting.

These victims didn't want to catch some fish to satisfy their hunger, but the ice on the river was too thick, and they were dizzy and dizzy from hunger. Where does the strength come from to chisel the ice? This is how the so-called story of lying on the ice and begging for carp that has been circulated in later generations has come about. Liu Yu tapped on the river with a wooden stick, and now that the ice was thicker than he imagined, he took a bundle of dry firewood and came over to make a fire, telling people to stand away.

The fire burned out. The ice also melted a lot, and a few pokes down with a dagger broke a small hole half a foot square. Liu Yu was afraid that the victims would follow suit, so he immediately warned, "Stay away from me if you make a fire and melt ice." Otherwise, we'll all fall down and drown if there is too much ice! ”

Everyone only obeys. They stood far away, lit a fire and melted the ice, tore off the threads on their clothes, and tied a few cypress leaves as bait to cast them. After a while, a fish was hooked, which caused everyone to exclaim again and again, so it was not lively.

Half an hour later, everyone strung up the gills with straw ropes, and walked back with joy, picking up a lot of bark along the way, and when they got closer, they heard a warm noise.

"I didn't think you were still useful." Liu Yuchao carried a deer. Li Wei, who was surrounded by everyone in the middle to worship, walked away.

"Lin Gongzi praises falsely!" Li Wei pretended to be modest for a few words, and finally couldn't help but look up and laugh. I was aggrieved for days. finally made Liu Yu impressed, otherwise he wouldn't know if he could keep the position of the commander of the guards when he went back.

"When handling the internal organs, stay far away to avoid attracting wolves." Liu Yu admonished, and then kicked the snowball that had been piled up before.

Blown by the icy wind for half an hour, the outer layer of the snowball was hard like a stone, and it kicked up with a thudding sound. Liu Yu nodded with satisfaction, took out a firewood knife and cut a small hole underneath, and then hollowed out the inside of the snowball with a wooden plank little by little.

"Do you see them all? Hollow out the inside of the sphere, and don't cut the walls too thin to avoid collapsing. The entrance and exit are opened wider to facilitate ventilation. We'll rest in it at night and make a fire. Liu Yu pushed out the excess snow and explained to the victims.

When the space is large, Yinzhen also takes a wooden board and drills into it, and repairs their temporary residence little by little.

Can a house made of snow be inhabited? The victims looked at each other. The young mother who was saved by Liu Yu did not hesitate to do it. The smallest snowball she had piled up, and in a short time it was emptied, and there was no howling wind in it, and a thick layer of cypress branches was spread, and a small fire was built to keep warm, and the dwelling was very comfortable, and the walls showed no sign of crumbling or melting.

Seeing this, the victims hurriedly concocted the same method. When Li Wei came back with a group of people, everyone had already lived in their new homes, and the orange bonfire came out of the small doorway, which was particularly heartwarming.

That night, everyone distributed the food equally, and arranged for people to take turns to keep vigil, and spent the most united, pleasant, and reassuring night of escaping.

After trekking for seven or eight days, the group finally arrived at Chuhuai County, which is the smallest county town closest to Huai-Anfu, and it only takes half a day to enter the city after leaving Chuhuai. But when they arrived, it was nearly evening, and they had to stop.

There have been many victims in Chuhuai County, because the prefect has set an example, and the saint attaches great importance to it, the county order below has to put on a personal sympathy for the people even if they are unwilling, so that people have built many shelters in the wilderness outside the county.

It sounds good to say that it is a shack, but in fact it is just a few wooden shelves, covered with a few bundles of thatch, and the wind is blowing on all sides, and it freezes so much that the cracks of people's bones hurt when they sit inside. When the snow on the thatch is too thick, it will leak down, and whoever will be unlucky will be smashed all over the face.

Li Wei stared at the wooden shelves that were squeaking and swaying in the wind, only to feel panic in his heart. This shack can't even catch up with half of the igloo, and it's still a fart? Aren't you afraid of freezing to death at night? It's so perfunctory!

Yin Zhen's brows furrowed, obviously very dissatisfied with these relief measures. But he hidden, and asked a victim who had come a few days earlier, "This brother, there are white flags hanging everywhere in the county, do you know why?" ”

"Don't you know about such a big thing? Prince Yong, the fourth son of the Holy Lord, was killed by the bandits of the Falling Eagle Qiankongyan! The thirteen princes are still alive and dead, and there is no corpse in death. The silver that was robbed earlier was not found, and the food that was finally raised this time was robbed again, and I don't know how many people will starve to death this winter. The man sighed deeply. I am very worried about the future.

Even if the officials and bandits collude, their "corpses" are revealed by the bandits, which is naturally equivalent to being discovered by the government. and also carried a charge of ineffective disaster relief. Thinking of this, Yin Zhen shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Worried about what? Turn back and destroy them. Now everyone is in the shadows, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. Liu Yu persuaded in a low voice.

"That's what Yu'er said." The gloom in Yinzhen's eyes quickly dissipated, and his expression reappeared confident and decisive.

Li Wei was silent for a long time, spit out the straw that had been chewed in his mouth, and sighed, "I'll go build a snow hut and come out." This wooden shelf is really unlivable! ”

The victims who escaped from the mountains with Liu Yu all thought that he and the three of them were looking at him, and when they saw Li Wei, Gao Jihuan and others going to build a snow house, they couldn't hold back. They all ran out to help. Soon "yurts" appeared in the snow, and after hollowing out, the soft branches on the mats regenerated on the fire, and I don't know how many times more comfortable than the shacks that were ventilated on all sides.

There were also a few fires in front of the igloo, gathering to bake the bark and the dried meat that had been accumulated over the days. Pull some homely stuff. With a vibrant smile on his face, his mental state is completely different from that of the victims who have fled elsewhere.

The victims huddled in the shacks stared at them in amazement. They don't understand why these people don't live in good huts but go to live in snow huts, so they are not afraid of freezing to death? But no matter how curious they were, they didn't dare to try it, because they were scared.

The next day, when he was about to leave, some of the victims who were eager to inquire about the news came over panting and replied, "Lin Gongzi is not good, I heard that the city gate of Huai-Anfu was completely closed three days ago. Victims are not allowed to approach, and only those with official documents and road guides are allowed to pass. There were also a large number of officers and soldiers around the city gate. Seeing the victims, they stepped forward to drive them away, what should we do? ”

Yin Zhen and Li Wei secretly glanced at each other. Liu Yu was still so calm, threw the package back on the ground, waved his hand and said, "Cold salad, let's stay here for two days first." ”

The man nodded again and again, and the victims, who were still very worried, saw Lin Gongzi humming a little song by the fire with a straw in his mouth, and they were infected by his leisure, and they all became calm.

"Is there a way for Yu'er to enter the city?" Yin Zhen leaned into his ear and whispered.

Liu Yu glanced at him, and gently twisted his index finger and thumb a few times.

Yin Zhen couldn't help but smile, "I knew you had a way." How much? ”

"Three thousand taels and one documents are drawn together."

"Deal, when will you go?"

"Wait until I find a way to get a window-dressing carriage. You can't always dress like this, you look like a refugee. Liu Yu pulled the hem of the clothes, which were already tattered and couldn't see the original color.

Yin Zhen also pulled up the hem of his clothes and looked at it, with a subtle expression.

Li Wei was about to ask Liu Yu where to get the identity document and guide him, but the victims suddenly became agitated, and someone shouted, "Huang Shiren's good rice eats the dead......

Between Liu Yu and Yinzhen's speculation, the victim nicknamed "Bao Inquire" ran over and whispered in Liu Yu's ear: "Son, I have inquired clearly, this Huang family is the maiden family of Mrs. Ling of Chuhuai County, and the biggest local wealth. Originally, he hoarded food and made huge profits in this snowstorm, but after the current holy order to reward the good-hearted squires and wealthy merchants, he immediately held a porridge field. I heard that the Chuhuai County Order has reported Huang Shiren's name, and he will be able to be awarded the title of Wailang in a few days, and future generations can enter the office. It's just that Huang Shiren is rich and unkind, and most of the porridge farms he runs are made of moldy and spoiled old rice, and many victims are unwell after eating them. The previous riot was because a victim was not physically strong, and he collapsed and died. His family approached the Huang family to explain, but they were beaten out by the county order......"

Yinzhen's expression was gloomy, and Li Wei clenched his fists with both hands. Liu Yu also sneered, raised the firewood knife that flashed with cold light, and gently scraped the blade with his fingertips that could be blown off.

"Yu'er, what do you want to do?" Yin Zhen's tone was a little helpless. The boy is good at everything, but he acts too directly and violently, but he is not annoying, and he is more sincere and real. Yin Zhen had to admit that he knew that this kind of scheming character was inappropriate, but he didn't want the young man to change at all.

"I didn't want to do anything." Liu Yu pursed his lips, inserted the knife back into his waist, and said to Li Wei, whose face was dark, "Let's go, get me some food." ”

Li Wei promised, and followed suit, leaving Yinzhen sighing at the fire. The two of them went to the field covered with heavy snow, followed a string of footprints to shoot a litter of voles, dug up a lot of grain from the vole's nest, grinded off the shell with a stone and carried it in their arms, passed by a frozen pond and jumped down, and after a long time they got a few hibernating frogs and two kings out of the hard mud.

The two of them disposed of the vole, the frog, and the king, and threw away the internal organs. Strung with straw rope back. After listening to the gossip that Bao inquired about, the victims who were with them did not try to verify whether their bodies could resist the moldy rice porridge and have the ability to hunt. I can't pull the bark.

When the two arrived at the fire, Yinzhen took a piece of charcoal to teach Gao Jihuan and others to read and write. The five siblings were very capable, and they picked up a lot of elm bark, cut it into small pieces and baked it on the slate, and the smell of burnt could be smelled from afar.

Liu Yu threw the vole in his hand onto Yinzhen's robe and jokingly said, "Rat meat." Do you dare to eat it? ”

Yinzhen put down the charcoal, wiped his hands with snow, and skewered the vole meat one by one onto the branches. handed it to the five sisters and brothers who frequently sucked saliva, and their helpless tone revealed their own connivance, "Don't dare, I'm about to vomit when I see it!" ”

Liu Yu pouted. Pour the various grains wrapped in oiled paper into the iron bowl. Mixed with a few balls of snow and boiled on the fire, he said with a smile, "Let's also drink porridge tonight, thicker than the Huang family, sweeter than the Huang family, the important thing is that you won't have diarrhea and die after eating." ”

Li Wei was originally smiling, but he choked when he heard this, and said aggrievedly. "Lin Gongzi, can we not say such disgusting things during dinner?"

"I can't." Liu Yu shook his index finger.

Li Wei retreated silently. Yin Zhen looked up and laughed. This meal was extraordinarily sweet for eight people. Put away the dishes. Liu Yu took out all his weapons and sharpened them one by one. Gao Jiwan roasted some tree bark as a snack, and when she saw Liu Yu coming over lightly, she hurriedly stuffed a piece into his mouth. Liu Yu was satisfied, chewed in his mouth, raised an axe and tried the edge with his fingertips.

Yin Zhen looked at Gao Ji, who was happily serving Liu Yu, smiled, and asked in a low voice, "Yu'er, tell the truth to the fourth brother, do you want to rob the Huang Mansion?" ”

"It's not a robbery, it's a robbery!" Liu Yuyan corrected.

When Yin really asked carefully, the refugees living in the shed suddenly stirred, and then a terrible scream broke through the sky, "My son! What's wrong with you, my son?! ”

At the same time, Bao inquired and rushed over, panting and speaking, "Son, there is another child who vomited and diarrhea because he drank rice porridge, and finally went!" ”

These victims have experienced hunger and cold for more than a month, and their physical functions have long been on the verge of collapse, and they cannot bear the slightest bit of destruction. If you drink moldy rice porridge at ordinary times, you will have diarrhea, and your stomach and intestines will be extremely weak at this time, and you will immediately have a strict dehydration phenomenon after vomiting and diarrhea, and you can really only wait for death in the absence of antibiotics and infusion facilities.

As she was talking, a woman held her two or three-year-old child, who had stopped breathing, and walked past Liu Yu's side with a somewhat demonic expression, walking towards the river. Depending on the situation, she was afraid that she wanted to accompany the child. At such a moment, most of the victims can only sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and even if they can't bear it, they don't dissuade them.

Yin Zhen's eyes changed, blocked the way, and said to the woman in the daze, "I heard that the Huai-An prefect has been inspecting the counties, and I will go to Chuhuai in a few days, if you want to avenge your son, it is better to stop him halfway." The statement has been written for you, do you dare? ”

"My son is dead, my father, mother-in-law, and husband are all dead, what am I doing with this life? Give me the form, I'll go! The woman snatched Yinzhen's form written in carbon strips, carefully put it in her arms, and fled into the forest path with the child's body in her arms.

Li Wei disappeared under Yinzhen's signal and followed. Here, Liu Yu has gathered dozens of people, all of whom are hardcore followers who followed him all the way from Dongfu to the county seat.

Yin Zhen walked over slowly and sighed, "How can you rabble be able to compete with well-trained and strong servants and guards? Rushing in is equivalent to looking for death, or is it better to think long-term......"

Liu Yu alone can wash the entire Huangfu with blood, but he also knows that he needs to hide before he is really strong, so he hooked his lips and said, "Who said we have to rush in?" I have my own way of moving the grain out of his rice warehouse in the open, would you like to make a bet with me? ”

Yin Zhen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, and pretended: "You really fell into the eyes of money......"

"It's better to fall into the eyes of money than people who don't know the value of money...... Liu Yu glanced at Yinzhen, remembering the folk joke that the royal disciples "only eat the most expensive, not the best", and couldn't help but hook his lips maliciously, and walked away twice.

Although Liu Yu didn't say anything, Yinzhen felt that he was deeply despised. He shook his head helplessly, thinking that he would have to talk to Bao Bao later, find out all these livelihood issues, and see how much the purchasing power of silver money is worth.

On this night, the bonfire burned vigorously, and the orange fire light shone on people's faces with the smell of **, completely driving away the winter cold.

Yin Zhen walked towards Liu Yu, who was sitting alone in the corner and wiping the firewood knife with a silk cloth, sat down next to him, coughed twice, and said, "I inquired clearly, one penny can buy an egg, one tael of silver can buy one stone of rice, and one hundred taels of silver can buy a two-in, one-out blue brick house with pavement." ”

Speaking of this, he picked up a dagger and played with it, and his tone became colder, "But when I opened the mansion back then, a total of 230,000 taels of silver was used to repair the county king's mansion, and only half of the repair was completed, and they told me that the silver was not enough, and they added 120,000 taels. Now think about it, 350,000 taels is enough for me to build how many blue brick houses for these poor people to live in? How much was corrupted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Imperial Manufacturing Division? There is a clear decree in the document promulgated by the imperial court: all commercial taxes shall be taken from thirty and one, and those who pass the tax shall be regarded as violating the order; The old official land rent, one bucket to four buckets per mu will be reduced by two-tenths, and those with four buckets and one rise to more than one stone will be reduced by three-tenths; New cultivators are exempt from paying taxes for three years; Those who open up the wasteland shall not exceed one bucket per mu. However, these decrees have become a dead letter in the localities, and the government can collect as much as it wants, especially in disaster years. Unconsciously, my Celestial Empire has been gnawed and eroded by these beetles. The local officials were all rich, but the treasury was empty every year, and they had to borrow countless amounts of silver for the princes and ministers to squander extravagantly. Eight million taels, four kings and eight kilometers, how can anyone not take out eight million taels? But I can't get the treasury of the Celestial Empire! Scold! With a sneer, he thrust the dagger into the snow. (To be continued......)
