Wheezing and pleading, in Wang Hou's shocked eyes, the woman finally exhausted the last trace of life, pillowed her wrists full of blood, and lay cold in a pool of blood.

"What's wrong?"

I don't know if it's the charm or sadness of this era, Cao Hongjie, a little girl, didn't care about carrying two just cut off the heads of the wicked man and followed in, looking at Wang Hou's stunned appearance, she asked hurriedly with concern.

"Hurt?"

"I'm ......, I killed the wrong person!"

glanced at the corpse of the woman lying on the ground, but Cao Hongjie threw the two heads in front of her, and immediately patted Wang Hou's shoulder with a bloody hand.

"Don't think about it, even if you don't kill her, she will have to become the ration of these villains sooner or later, and we will avenge her by killing these villains! Let's go! ”

"The head of the house! Cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

On the side, the voice of the guard Wang Congge sounded again, and he shook Wang Hou heavily, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner of the wall, looking at the little boy whose face was numb and dull, and his eyes were empty under the skeleton of several people who had been removed, but Wang Hou couldn't help but tremble.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Cao Cao killed Lu Bohao's family, Wang Hou originally didn't believe it, because Chen Gong, as the protagonist of the story, abandoned him because of the narrow view of the scholars, but now, Wang Hou believes it, it can be no wonder Cao Cao, because the entire apocalyptic era is like this, everyone is for themselves, life is noble and cheap, in order to live, you can even eat others without psychological scruples!

Wang Hou also knows that this is a troubled time, and if you want to survive, you have to be more ruthless than anyone else! Can! Can you really abandon your own humanity?

"It's just a child, you don't need it, take him away, and after a long time, he forgets it!"

Pushing Wang Congge away, Wang Hou walked in front of the boy in a few steps, he glanced at the red bones that were hung up and shaved flesh with a little dazed, put his arm around the boy's shoulders and pulled him out from below first, then bent down and asked with a difficult smile.

"What's your name?"

But as if he was completely stupid, the kid just looked at Wang Hou with a numb face, and looked at Wang Hou for a few seconds, and Wang Hou shook his head with a helpless wry smile.

"Forget it, come with me! Finally I can have you to eat in one bite and don't worry about being eaten! ”

Pulling his hand, Wang Hou turned and walked out, the child was like a marionette, let him drag it, but walked to the door, looking at the corpse of the woman lying on the ground, the boy seemed to be slightly touched at last, and froze there.

"My father's surname is Xu, and my mother said that I am the last male in the Xu family."

"Presumptuous! The head of the house has taken you in! In the future, you will be a slave of the royal family, and you should be surnamed Wang! ”

Wang Congge reprimanded fiercely again, he was really a loyal servant, but once again, Wang Hou stretched out his hand to stop him, and turned to the kid again.

"The surname Xu is, right? is a good surname, you will be called Xu Yue in the future! No matter how difficult life is, live happily! ”

After a burst of scolding, the boy's face seemed to be sluggish again, and listening to Wang Hou's voice, he only nodded indifferently.

It is estimated that if the soft body of this woman who has just died is not disposed of, it will soon become someone else's meal, although the death is like a lamp going out, but it can be regarded as making up for the guilt in his heart, Wang Hou ordered, these guards cut off the pillars of the dilapidated house several times, and immediately took out firewood from under the fire and lit it, and soon, a huge raging flame steamed above this refugee camp.

But just about to pat his hands and leave, Cao Hongjie vigilantly dragged him behind him, and looked around the already dim refugee camp in astonishment.

"Bold, dare to besiege the imperial court officials! Get out! Otherwise, the county army will be killed! ”

Pulling out the knife suddenly, Wang Congge roared fiercely at these Yangzhou refugees, the blood and ice stained on the knife were obviously frightened and several refugees who were close to them sat on the ground in fear, but this onlooker circle was a little bigger, and those refugees were still looking at it from afar.

"Family master, it's getting late, let's escort you back to General Li Dian's camp!"

Looking at the pair of eager and desperate eyes around him, the third time, Wang Hou patted the vigilant Wang Congge on the shoulder, but pushed him and Cao Hongjie away, and walked to the front, the fire crackled and burned behind him, covering half of his body in the shadows, and after a pause, Wang Hou suddenly pulled his throat and roared in a dull voice.

"Lao Tzu, Jinyang Wang Hou, recruited tenant farmers to come! In this troubled times, Lao Tzu can't guarantee that you can all live, but Lao Tzu has a stutter, so he won't let you starve to death! ”

The silence lasted for a few more seconds, and the small group of men, women, and children at the front knelt silently in the snow, and then, one after another, they knelt down one after another, and for a long time, except for Wang Hou and his party, there was no one standing anymore.

…………

It only takes half a day to ride a horse, but it took three days to come back, and the process of coming and going is unprecedentedly tragic, in the ice and snow, there are constantly weak old people, women, children falling, braving the overwhelming wind and snow, and even have no time to bury, can only be covered with frost and snow on the side of the road, relatives silently worship twice, and then helplessly turn around and leave.

At least six or seven hundred people fell along the way, and about one or two hundred meters, there would be a frozen corpse.

In the past, in the history books, whenever the world was in turmoil, the population of China plummeted to only half of the previous one, one-third, one-quarter, or even one-fifth, Wang Hou still didn't believe it, but now he believes it, there are no less than 100,000 refugees in Yangzhou who go north, but those who can survive this cold winter are probably not even 20,000.

However, Wang Hou can't do anything about it, his ability is limited! When he went to plan, he planned to recruit more than 900 people to keep his grain storage card tight, but now this is not stopped, even if so many people have died along the way, there are still more than 3,000 people who followed him back to Xudu, which has exceeded the budget for grain storage.

The construction of a biogas digester came in handy at this time, in the cold winter wax moon, for a while and a half Wang Hou is simply not able to find so much wood, to build a village for the newly recruited tenants, Cao Cao's new seal to him that originally belonged to the Hongnong Yang family, the Yang family hated him so much, if he wasn't so rich, when he poured out of the place, he couldn't wait to sprinkle salt in the field so that he couldn't cultivate, and the original four tenant villages were demolished and there was not even a straw left. The 178 biogas digesters that have been built today have been spewed out by the raging fire of methane, which is really a life-saving straw.

A few cauldrons hung on the fire well, the pot was cooked with snow and corn on the spot, some of the victims did not know how many days had not touched the grain, has been relying on the grass roots and bark to survive, saw the hot porridge even couldn't bear it, directly with the hand to grab it, even if the hand and mouth were hot red and refused to spread, in the end there was no way, the king pole they took the stick to look at the porridge pot, and then there was their own unceremonious to take the stick directly to beat out, this head with the royal palace brought over the ceramic bowl one by one distribution, Only then did the order be readjusted.

The food is really life-saving, a bowl of hot millet is in the stomach, and many people's faces that have turned black and lead gray finally appear a healthy blood color.

It's really a matter of interest, and now Zhao Laotian of Zhaojia Village and Niu Wanjin of Niujia Village are not fighting, but they are blocking in front of Wang Hou to protest.

"Sir! This is the dung fire well that we have worked hard to make in Niujia Village! This makes these outsiders blocked, what's the matter? ”

A crutch clattered on the ground, Niu Wanjin was full of sorrow and protest, and on the other end, Zhao Laotian also followed to help.

"Yes, sir! The young men of our Zhaojia Village also made great efforts, and now let these outsiders occupy it in vain, and every household in the village is dissatisfied! ”

The leader is really not good, this new employee didn't arrange to understand, the old worker has already begun to complain, fortunately this is the era of feudal exploitation, Wang Hou, who is in a bad mood, didn't roll his eyelids, hugged his arm and snorted stiffly.

"If you want to plow, you can plow, if you don't want to plow, you can roll!"

"Master, the little ones are your old cultivators, how can you say that! Chill the big guy's heart! ”

"You're fighting against the head of the family! If you don't want to be a tenant slave in my Wang family, the old man will go and bring the household registration and let you out of the country. ”

Always standing with Wang Hou, the old housekeeper Wang Fu also opened his mouth to scold him in the back, generally the big family is a housekeeper in charge of trivial matters, and he was also called a family minister in the Spring and Autumn Period, as soon as Wang Fu spoke, the two village chiefs finally wilted, and made several apologies in a row, and then retreated in embarrassment.

However, after sending them away, Wang Fu himself couldn't help but feel worried.

"Master, your family resources are limited, you really have too many tricks this time!"

Wang Hou didn't know that looking at the victims who were still queuing up to receive porridge, he couldn't help but sigh.

"But if you follow me, you will live, and if you are left behind, you will die, thousands of lives!"

Lao Wang Fu couldn't help but be silent, holding his arms and watching the crowd, Wang Hou himself was silent for a while, but after being silent for a few minutes, a fierce color suddenly appeared on his face.

"Fuck! Wouldn't it feed three or four thousand people! ”

"Lao Wang! Let's go back today, and exchange all the millet seeds in our house for wheat on the market, and buy iron tools with cloth, which is enough for ten more grinding plates! Starting this winter, your master and I are going to do a big job! ”

Suddenly, Wang Fu felt that he was a lazy and greedy old man who had a lot of things to do, as if he had changed someone all of a sudden, this may be the legendary Wang Ba's anger! In short, the high-spirited Wang Hou always gives people a sense of trust, as if nothing can difficult him, and his spirit is dizzy, Wang Fu also straightened his stiff old waist slightly, and immediately hugged his fist.

"Old slave, obey!"
