Chapter 247: The Land of Hope
"Hey, fellow, where did you come from and how long have you been there?"
With a hint of warmth in the sun, the man saw a group of sergeants in strong armor riding horses and pulling several carts of goods. One of the officer-like sergeants approached, as if questioning him.
According to the information sent back to Danling by people outside, the tide of displaced people is coming. Wang Chao, the leader of the Workshop Army, was ordered to take the twenty-member squad that had been expanded two years ago to walk out of the Workshop Army's sphere of influence and check the situation outside on the main road leading to Danling.
"What about your words, why don't you speak, what's going on with your face, are you a family? What are you afraid of, our workshop army doesn't eat people! Seeing that the captain's question was not answered, the soldier of the workshop said in a slightly loud voice.
"Daddy?"
The woman looked worried, the dust and frost had left a thick stain on her face, and a pair of godless eyes trembled slightly, glanced at her husband, and hugged the two children vigorously.
Maybe he was in a trance, the man didn't reply immediately, but lowered his head and looked at the legs of the tall horse riding by the sergeant in front of him in a daze.
"Head, maybe we scared the hell out of them." Another member of the team reminded softly.
"You go to the side first," Wang Chao asked his team members to stay a little away from the house on the side of the road, and then said to the man: "You don't have to be afraid. ”
"My name is Wang Chao, I belong to the 12th squad of the 17th Brigade of the Workshop Army, you don't have to be afraid of us, our Workshop Army is different from the ** you encountered, and will not bully the people, now, can you answer my question? What's the matter with your injuries? Wang Chao continued to ask in a clear and gentle tone.
Wang Chao's words seemed very gentle, even if a man who had been a soldier before, he had never seen such a heroic soldier.
"Such a character should not bully a poor person like us who has nothing." The man reacted and thought to himself.
"We ...... It is a family, and it comes from Mozi Village, Chengzhou. The man swallowed his saliva and replied in a nervous and hoarse tone.
As for the scars on his face, the man didn't mention it at all, the disability of his left hand and the difficult life had already made him see the warmth and coldness of the world, but when he heard the officer in front of him say that they were from Danling, he couldn't help but have some expectations.
Even though this expectation may be very slim for his family, the man still wants to grasp this slim hope with his weak right hand.
The devastating life has already made the man who has suffered a lot and experienced the blood and rain of swords and guns bow his head, so humble that he only wants his family to live.
Escaping from the wilderness, just to find a way to live for himself and his family, this is a difficult road, the legend of Danling, is a hope for his trip, especially the various things experienced along the way, this hope has become the only hope for their family.
"Captain, this should be the goal we are preparing for these days."
"I know, their family should be the first to arrive."
Wang Chao nodded thoughtfully, and instructed the team members to quickly take out the water and dry food they were carrying in the car and give some to the family.
"My fellow surname, this is our Danling's unique biscuits, this is water, take it and distribute it to the children, you guys are not close to this way, how long have you walked?"
"Hmm...... Ahem, we don't know how long we've been walking, how far we've walked, we just know that along the way, some people are alive, some people are dead, and the food is also eaten......" The man looked at the two children and his wife who were frantically eating biscuits, and they also stuffed biscuits in their mouths, leaving only the palm of their right hand, firmly under their mouths, and the biscuit crumbs that fell because of talking, mixed with the dirt on their hands, were stuffed back into their mouths.
"Ahem, my name is Zhang Mingyi." The man swallowed the biscuit and added.
"Have you seen many people like you along the way?"
"More, can it be more? Our part is the whole village and the whole village comes out, and our Mozigou also comes out of the whole village together, but we are all separated, maybe they follow the others to other counties. With food and water supplements, the man Zhang Mingyi has become much more fluent.
"Hey, listen to you, your family is lucky, and they just hit us here, and the others don't know what else to suffer." Hearing Zhang Mingyi's words, Wang Chao shook his head and sighed.
Although I have just met this family, since this family has arrived, then the others should not be far away.
When Zhang Mingyi heard Wang Chao's words, the hope in his heart was two points stronger. This army from Danling behaved so amiably, then the news heard from the dart line was even more credible.
"This military master ......"
"Just call me Captain Wang, there is no master in our workshop army, haha." Wang Chao saw that the man's mood had stabilized and said.
"Yes, yes, Captain Wang, we really can't get along in our hometown, I heard from our dart man that this side is very good, so I came here regardless of it, I want to ask......"
"Don't worry, fellow, you've come to the right place, have you seen those two brothers in our squad? A year and a half ago, they were where you are now. ”
Knowing what the man who lost his left hand was going to ask, Wang Chao took over before he finished asking and said with a smile.
"That can't be compared, I'm a handicap, how can I compare with those two brothers, they look so mighty?" Zhang Mingyi said in disbelief.
"When you arrive at our Danling, you will know, don't say more, we have to continue to check the situation, come here, distribute our dry food to the villagers, and the water will not be given to you." Walking along this road, it is not far to reach our camp, where surprises await you. Wang Chao patted the man's shoulder and turned over on the horse.
A member of the army of the workshop packed a small bag of dry food, handed it to the Hanzi family, and after handing it to the Hanzi family, he also stepped on the war horse, smiled at the Hanzi family, and disappeared behind the road in the blink of an eye with the team.
"Daddy, we've met a good guy." The wife was like a dream, and this army, which was like a gust of wind, left a deep impression on her.
"Yes, we've met good people." The man's face was full of tears, and he tightened the small bag of delicious dry food in his hand, hoping that it was not far ahead.
……
"Master, the reception of the displaced people has been fully prepared, after receiving the message from the flying pigeons in front, the first batch of displaced people have entered the camp in front one after another, and after simple repair and strict registration, they will be escorted to various places we have prepared according to the situation of the personnel." Shao Meng came to Zhao Yuan's study, found Zhao Yuan, who had not been in charge of things for nearly half a month, and reported.
"I know, this is a test for everyone, summon the Hurricane Camp, always be ready, deal with all emergencies, I hope you don't give me the opportunity to use the Hurricane Camp."
Zhao Yuan nodded, relieved in his heart, after a few years of development, presumably no matter what challenges there are, the people below will not let themselves down.
"Land of hope, yes, I'm just going to build a bucket of hope." Thinking of the impressions of the homeless people on Danling mentioned in the letters from all over the country, Zhao Yuan waved his fist, and his heart was full of energy.
