Chapter 14: Heroes
This camp of displaced people was established not long ago.
Because since the beginning of the fifth year of the Great Cause, the number of displaced people has increased, and the Daizhou Governor's Office, which governs Yanmen, immediately ordered that the displaced people be well resettled.
It can be seen from the wording of the edict handed down by the Governor's Office that it is still very humane.
In order to prevent disasters and epidemics, Mayi County was ordered to resettle the displaced people, and the county warehouse could be opened to release grain according to the situation, so as to save the people from freezing and dying.
Therefore, in the winter of the sixth year of the Great Cause, the four cities of Mayi City all set up camp camps, and the counties under their jurisdiction were also handled in this way.
However, no matter how humane an official article is, it is also an official article, whether it is ancient or modern, or in the future, such an article cannot escape a perfunctory ending.
Like now, Li Jing and Li Junjun, who are sitting on the high hall of the Juncheng Mansion, will not take the edict of the Acting Prefecture Governor's Mansion seriously.
Since the Han Dynasty King Yang Liang conspired against the rebellion, the Lord of Mayi County is very clear that most of today's displaced people start in Yanmen, because of the great cause of four years, the Yanmen displaced people are in turmoil, and there are more and more bandits.
Extended to Mayi, this is the order.
For the sake of it, it's not the humble body of the homeless people, but just to ask Ma Yi to share the blame with Yanmen.
The so-called Daizhou Governor's Mansion is not talking about the Daizhou Governor's Mansion now, but the Yanmen Taishou.
Just like Ma Yi here, nominally, there should be the post of Taishou of Ma Yi County, which is above the county Cheng, but because Ma Yi has him Li Jing, the post of Taishou is still vacant.
In this way, the situation of the exiled camps under the rule of Mayi County can be imagined.
This winter, for the people of Mayi, is no different from previous winters.
But for the people in the camp, this winter is so difficult.
Li Po and Li Chun have such feelings.
The weather is getting more and more cold, and the second winter snow is coming as scheduled, which makes Li Po, who is in good health, a little unbearable, not to mention Li Chun, who has just recovered from a serious illness and walked so far.
After the snow, Li Chun could only hide in the corner of the grass hut and shiver, not even daring to go out for a walk.
For the sake of his own lives, Li Po couldn't always hide in the thatched hut.
He first stood by the city gate, beat the two woodcutters who entered the city to sell firewood, their noses and faces were swollen, and they robbed half of the firewood.
Because Luo San was there, the two woodcutters who had been beaten didn't dare to do anything, and they carried the remaining half of the firewood on their backs and entered the city, and the next time they entered the city, the two of them didn't dare to come alone, but had five or six companions.
Speaking of which, the people who still have to go into the city to sell firewood on a cold day are also hard-working people.
But where can Li Po take care of this, his own life is worried, and the robbery is light, if it weren't for the fact that this is Mayi City, he would have the intention of killing people and taking money.
So, in two or three days, he robbed six or seven woodcutters, got a lot of firewood, and got two pieces of clothing for himself and Li Chun.
However, before his notoriety could spread, a guy with a short eye came up.
Speaking of which, this is also the time of winter, otherwise, the people in the camp will not be unaware of these things, and some people will soon know that this newcomer cannot be easily provoked.
But then again, in the winter, the people in the camp hated to hide underground, and no one knew that the new kid had begun to become a street bandit at the city gate.
Even the pawns at the gate of the city were taken away by this one, not to mention being an accomplice, it would be a matter of time before they went up and did it themselves.
But Li Po still knows that this kind of thing can't be done often.
The guys who enter the city to sell firewood, especially here in Beicheng, are all villagers from the left side of the north city of Mayi.
Taking a fat beating and throwing some firewood or something is not a big deal for the people in the Northland who are so fierce.
But if you provoke one after another and suffer a lot of losses, maybe one day, someone will come over with a knife and fight with you.
Therefore, after a few days, half of the grass hut was piled up by firewood, and Li Po stopped, thinking about what to do next to make his life better.
On this day, he didn't go to the city gate early in the morning to wait, and the cold was not light in the past few days, and there were many cracks on his hands and feet, so he stayed by the stove that was built up this day, and slept in the dark.
Li Chun has been nesting beside him, his eyes are red.
This kid now understands a little bit that he has dragged down his eldest brother, and watching his eldest brother become more and more haggard day by day, he has been in self-pity.
At noon, seeing that Li Po had not woken up, Li Chun picked up the clay pot, went out of the thatched hut, and went to the porridge tent in the south to make porridge.
However, before he could go far, he ran into two "heroes" who blocked the way......
One tall and one short, a short man with a limp leg, and a tall and thin man with a scar on his face.
Both of them were wearing torn leather jackets of unknown color, their faces were swarthy, and they hadn't washed their faces for some time, just like other homeless people.
It's just that the cripple has a short knife with a sheath pinned to his waist.
When these two saw Li Chun, their eyes suddenly lit up, and they didn't hesitate at all, and they came up to block Li Chun's way.
Just like a hungry wolf saw a lamb, he didn't say anything, just looked at Li Chun in a circle.
There was infinite malice in their eyes, which made Li Chun feel numb.
If it weren't for Li Po's instructions, Li Chun would still be able to be strong, but Li Po's instructions came first, Li Chun hesitated, turned around and ran.
The two guys didn't chase after them, but just laughed wickedly.
Looking at the running little guy, both of them were very satisfied, and it had been many days since they had seen such a happy little guy in the camp.
And in their opinion, a baby who can run so fast, has sound limbs, and is about ten years old, is a pile of copper running......
"Let's go over there and have a look, there's a new kid again."
The tall and thin man took the lead and followed Li Chun's footsteps to the south.
They are not afraid of people running away, this camp is a cage, as long as they come in, where can they run again?
The cripple licked his chapped lips, followed behind the tall thin man and smiled: "This age baby, my mother may be here, hehe, you can't rob me this time......"
The harvest is imminent, and the thin and tall man is in a very good mood, "What to rob, our brothers, who comes first and who comes after, isn't it all the same?" How can you keep it to yourself? ”
The two laughed obscenely, but the cripple was a little worried, "Don't be a sick mother-in-law." ”
"I've been thought about so much, I'll go to the market for a while, talk to Zhang Dalang, see what price I can sell, such a baby, there are less than two times, don't even think about it."
"Or ...... Let's wait for the fat aunt, she has always given a higher ......"
Selling homeless people, these two are really heroes......
