"Speaking of which, I've seen your son and grandson before, but now they're all gone?" An Bai seized the news and continued to ask.

The old woman nodded: "Yes, I went with two other good young people, and I heard from a friend who one of the young people met in another village that there was no war there, and there was a big village that needed people to work, so I passed." ”

"And the kids? The journey to Manmo is not stable. An Bai asked again.

"There's no way around it, the Luchuan soldiers have recently made a new rule, each person is only allowed to leave a small basket of surplus food every day, and children who are taller than the upright hunting knife don't count," the old woman said hatefully: "Up to now, several families have starved to death, and my family has to flee." ”

An Bai was shocked by the cruelty of the Luchuan soldiers on the one hand, and was a little happy that Jiang Yugang's plan had room to be displayed on the other hand, and his mood was also a little complicated for a while.

However, his mood was complicated, and he still pretended to be resentful: "This Luchuan soldier is really hateful, if it weren't for me to support my family, I really want to transport grain to the village every day." ”

The old woman shook her head: "How much grain can you transport?" Recently, in order to fight with the army from the Ming Kingdom, this Luchuan has lost more and more of its own village, but there are more and more people who have been brought in, in order to provide food, in addition to Nansang Village, I don't know how many people in the village will not be able to survive. ”

"Is it so serious?" An Bai was really shocked at this time. Although he was happy to hear the news of the harsh looting of the Luchuan soldiers in various places and the extremely unpopular news that Jiang Yu had recklessly entered the mountains to win the hearts of the people, he couldn't help but sink his heart when he heard the news of the more and more Luchuan soldiers.

Recently, the rumor that the army has won successive battles and advanced all the way to the hinterland of Luchuan has spread all over the barracks, if you look at the old woman's statement, the Luchuan army is not only not short of troops because of the injury, but more numerous?

"It's all something I heard, and I don't need to dig into the truth or falsehood." The old woman waved her hand: "Especially the matter of pulling people into the gang, those Luchuan soldiers don't dare to pull people into the gang in a big village like Nansang, they don't know the family relationship between people here, and they are worried that someone will contact other people to do things when they come to the army." ”

"Okay." An Bai thought to himself, whether it is true or not, this news still has to be explained to Baihu.

After the old woman chatted with An Bai, she hurriedly went to inform the neighbors that An Bai came to the village with a group of merchants, and each family brought things to exchange for food.

……………

Jiang Yu was bored waiting in the bamboo house, so he unconsciously played with Ah Tian's mischievous hair that popped out of his untied bun. This is also a hobby that he has newly acquired since he knew that Ah Tian is a woman dressed as a man, and he uses it to pass the time.

As a "native" of the Ming Dynasty, she didn't know that there was something called "hormones" in this world that was making trouble between the two, but she felt that Jiang Yugang had not said anything special since she knew that she was a woman, but her behavior was very different from before, not only did she take her with her no matter what she did, but even most of the tasks assigned to her by Lu Chong were pushed away.

He is now not so much a craftsman under Lu Chong, but also an assistant director of the new intelligence department, but a close attendant of Jiang Yugang. Although Jiang Yugang is so arrogant, a hundred households have to treat people as close attendants, but every time he is obedient for some reason, this emotion is not understood by Ah Tian, who has always dressed as a man and spent half of his life in the military camp. She was still young when she learned to read and write with gentlemen, and it was impossible for them to expose her to some books and texts.

When Amber opened the curtain and walked in, Jiang Yu's hands shook in shock, and he almost tore off a lock of Ah Tian's hair. Ah Tian was in pain and looked at him aggrievedly, while Jiang Yugang coughed lightly and asked An Bai who walked into the house: "Everything has been arranged?" ”

"What can be arranged, Baihu values me too much." An Bai smiled: "That grandma is just going to inform the neighbors of the news that we are coming, in order to avoid the Luchuan soldiers, everything has to be done in secret." ”

"Actually, it's also hiding from the villagers who are not familiar with her, after all, there is only a little food, who can be distributed, I still have to think about it in my heart." Jiang Yu sneered.

"This is also human nature, there is always a bias in the heart." An Bai helped the old woman speak.

Jiang Yuyan stretched out a finger and shook it: "Selfishness is of course human nature, but it can also bring trouble many times - there are more than 600 living people in this village, except for the old people and children who have no ability, how can there be 500 people, how many Luchuan soldiers really come here?" can collect grain here every day, and be domineering, this is because of uneven hearts. ”

"What do you mean by saying this now?" An Bai asked.

"After all, the villagers in the cottage are different from the organized army, I look at the situation here, the villagers definitely have the intention to resist the Luchuan soldiers - but they are not aligned, even if we mobilize them and pull them to the side of our Ming army to fight against the Luchuan army," Jiang Yu paused: "But if you rely on them alone, you can't solve the Luchuan soldiers." ”

"How many more of us?" Ah Tian asked.

"How much do you think you can do?" Jiang Yu glanced at her, and Ah Tian shrunk his neck in cringe.

"So if you want to rescue the village from the Luchuan soldiers, you still have to transfer people from Manggu Mountain." An Bai understood what Jiang Yu meant.

Jiang Yuyan nodded with a serious expression: "It has to be transferred secretly enough, I don't know how many places I pass along the way that may be discovered by the sentry of Luchuan, we must find a good opportunity to make it impossible for the Luchuan army to find out as much as possible, and not let them make any preparations in advance." ”

"But organize the villagers to fight the Luchuan army...... It feels like it's still far from actually happening.,It looks like it's completely controlled by the Luchuan Army.。 Ah Tian was a little worried about Jiang Yu's plan.

"I don't think it's far away," Jiang Yuyan remembered the two hungry dogs he saw in the yard when he first arrived here: "Anbai, you chatted with Grandma just now, is there any new news worth mentioning?" ”

"I heard my grandmother say that her son took the child and two young people from the village to Manmo, just because there was really no food to eat, and now Luchuan is still expanding the manpower, and the exploitation of the cottages in various places has intensified, and it has reached the point of starving to death." An Bai hurriedly told Jiang Yu what he had just heard.

"That's right!" Jiang Yu clapped his hands: "I can't even live anymore, if it's not the right time, then there's no right time." ”

Ah Tian still maintained a pessimistic attitude: "Listening to the news from An Bai, people either fled or starved to death, and no one seems to have any action, we have the most intersection with the village now is An Bai, but he is also an outsider in the end, will they really listen to your organization and fight against the Luchuan Army?" ”

"I need a chance." Jiang Yuyan looked at the stairs behind the door curtain, and there was a voice from there, as if the old woman had brought the neighbors over: "If there is no chance, create an opportunity." There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings. Now that we have come to the mountains, we must play monkey tricks. ”
