Chapter 436: Military and Civilian Fish and Water

When it was determined that this was the army of King Chuang, everyone who came with them immediately rushed to the brothers who collapsed to the ground.

The old man suddenly remembered something, and regardless of what he said to Lu Shi, he grabbed the young man who followed him and scolded loudly: "You are an ignorant thing, you are not the only one to save people, hurry back to the village to gather people, the more the better, quickly." ”

The young man immediately turned around and ran, and was again grabbed by the old man: "Come back, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

"Say it quickly, it's going to kill people in a hurry." The young man was also anxious, and impatiently urged his father to speak quickly.

"Go back to the village and tell all the mothers-in-law to boil water, the more the better." The old man still has experience, and this method really gets to the point.

Seeing that the rough young man was about to run again, he grabbed him again: "Also, there is a clay pot of salt buried in the ground under our kang, and it is poured into boiling water." ”

The young man didn't hurry to leave this time, and waited for his father's endless orders, and when the father saw that his son was still standing there stupidly, he kicked over and scolded: "You fool, what are you doing here? Waiting for a reward? ”

With that, the boy jumped up and ran to the village.

When the old man saw his son running away, he didn't pay attention to Lu Shi, who was standing stupidly, and ran directly to the soldier who fell asleep on the ground, took off his old sheepskin jacket and wrapped him, and then ran to the next one, stopped suddenly halfway through, patted his head and said regretfully: "Look at my head, why is it so unimportant?" I almost forgot to get down to business. As he spoke, he took out a long tube-like thing in his arms.

Lu Shi recognized that it was a quotation mark fireworks sent by the army to the dependent villages in various places to ask for help, and in Lu Shi's surprised expression, he took out the fire sickle and lit it, and there were words in his mouth, and with the sound of "Peng", a black smoke and fireworks rose into the sky, exploding a black cloud in the sky, which did not disperse for a long time.

At this moment, he reminded Chen Che, and hurriedly found the communication fireworks he was carrying, and kept lighting and releasing them like money, one by one, shining or loud or black fireworks continued to explode in the sky.

Just when Lu Shi was dumbfounded, a group of ragged peasants came from afar, holding all kinds of wooden sticks and farm tools in their hands, shouting the slogan of killing thieves. The old man hurriedly rushed over and explained to the leader of the people, and immediately, some of those people took out fireworks and lit them, and then led everyone to run to the team of the invading army with shouts, lifting and hugging, all of them did not hesitate to take off their clothes and wrap them up for the brothers of the invading army, and some looked around for dry firewood to light a bonfire, and carried the brothers who were out of strength and could not wake up to the bonfire to keep warm.

At this time, there were constantly villagers in the nearby villages coming, more and more people gathered, less than half a day was already black pressure everywhere, seeing that the father's prestige in the local area is very high, and he is also very organized, just this period of time, the increase to almost five or six thousand people of the people organized in an orderly manner, boiling water, collecting firewood, ambulance, with the continuous increase in personnel, the situation on the scene began to improve.

At this time, the old man had time to come to Lu Shi and salute: "If you want to come here, it must be one of the leaders of the righteous master of King Chuang, the little second brother is just taking care of saving our brothers, but he is negligent, forgive his sins." ”

"Daddy's life-saving grace hasn't had time to be repaid, where can you dare to blame? I should have asked my father for the guilt. ”

The old man saw that Lu Shi was kind, and stepped forward to say to Lu Shi: "I don't know what this leader is called?" ”

"Little nephew Lu Shi, I've seen my father." Lu Shi sincerely gave a gift.

"It turned out to be General Lu, disrespectful and disrespectful." It's like that, but it's just polite. "Don't dare to be. Since it is under the command of King Chuang, it must be a hero, and the little old man is disrespectful here. Saying that, he helped Lu Shi carry a brother to a bonfire, Lu Shi was still wearing single clothes, and he was busy at that moment, but when he stopped talking, he couldn't stop shivering.

The old man was moved when he saw it, and when the leader was able to dress as lightly as a soldier to only wear single clothes, it was no wonder that King Chuang could ** out of such a righteous teacher who loved the people like a son, and hurriedly found a bed of cotton wool to wrap Lu Shi in warmth.

After Lu Shi sincerely thanked him, he saw that everything was in order, and he really couldn't support it, so he found a bonfire to sit by, and the old man also sat down next to him and talked with Lu Shi.

Lu Shi asked curiously first: "This time, it is thanks to my father who called the villagers to treat my brothers, otherwise we would have been greatly injured before we arrived at the battlefield, and I can't say that there will be many brothers who will have sequelae in the future, but why did Dad treat our brothers who broke into the army like this?" “

When the old man heard this, he smiled heartily and said: "This is the little brother, you are an outsider, you Heavenly King, ah no, it is the reincarnation of the Heavenly King, and it is the savior of the people." ”

Seeing that Lu Shi was just sipping, he said loudly to Lu Shi at that time: "Half a month ago, King Chuang learned that our small people were guilty, and specially sent Chief Manager Cao here to come forward for our small people to carry out a rent reduction and interest reduction campaign, so that the landlord can only collect us fifty percent of the land rent and two points of interest, so that we can finally breathe a sigh of relief in this cannibalistic world, what a great kindness is this?" Also, the chief manager Cao said, now King Chuang has compassion for us, and is collecting a large number of potato seeds in the south, saying that that it is drought-tolerant and early-maturing, and it is also highly productive, and that it will be distributed to us free of charge when the time comes, and as long as we persist until May, we will be able to eat everything we can't eat. In addition, it helped us resist the oppression of the government and exempted us from endless taxes and servitude, which is a great blessing. There is also the fireworks that gave us this news, which is a signal to the heavenly court, as long as the fireworks go off, the king of heaven promises to send heavenly soldiers to rescue us immediately, such a favor, do you say that we should repay it even if we gave up our lives? ”

Lu Shi smiled helplessly, how could he become the king of heaven, what else did he report to the fireworks to reach the heavenly court, is this simply nonsense, but on the other hand, he also understood the thoughts of the people, an era when education was still monopolized by the rich upper class, these small people, can only rely on their own hobbies to understand everything, who is good to themselves, then of course the people are infinitely expanded and grateful, plus their own understanding of the people who give them favors, then of course there is such a result.

The Chinese people are the most simple and the most grateful, and Lu Shi is proud to be born in this country.

"Just the day before yesterday, I heard that the government sent a large army to come to us to plunder, which frightened us at that time.

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but shiver all over, and subconsciously, the scene of the official army crossing resurfaced in front of my eyes, which was an unforgettable fear.

"However, King Chuang sent a message, and asked the chief manager to take King Chuang's righteous teacher, and block the door of the dog official's house at the cost of his life, so that they don't want them to come out and harm our people, that's five hundred to ten thousand, that's a thing that has no return, it is King Chuang and King Chuang's righteous teacher who are willing to work so hard for our people, such a righteous teacher, how can we repay what we do today?" said that there were already tears here, and the people on one side were all in tears and nodded their heads again and again.

"We ordinary people are used to being oppressed by all kinds of people, but we little people have rods and scales in their hearts, and this scale is fair, who is good to us, who is not good to us, we all weigh out, and the righteous teacher of the king of heaven is good to us, and we will repay each other with death."

Look at it, this is our simple people, as long as a little bit is given, that is to repay with all their wealth, with such a clear grievance of the people, can we not prosper?

With the help of the enthusiastic villagers, seeing that everything was in order, Lu Shi arranged for Chen Che to gather the brothers who had fallen behind and the baggage women's army who were about to arrive here, regardless of fatigue, dragged his tired body and climbed onto the horse, and rushed to the Ganquan battlefield with the prison sergeant who came to report.

Seeing the modest and polite young leader go away, the old man grabbed his beard and praised in front of Chen Che: "This leader, the little leader just now is always polite with a smile, it must be where the show is born, okay, our army of the king has such a show to raise people or something, it can be seen how popular it is, with my old man's experience of walking inside and outside for so many years, this little show must have a big future, but I don't know what position our king has given, but don't overdo it." "A sense of concern and appreciation is beyond words.

Chen San didn't feel it, and chuckled: "The base area will not bury talents, such as this has the ability to ask great questions from universities, we are arranging the position of the king, I don't know if the old man can arrange it properly?" ”

The old man was just immersed in his rich experience, and he didn't notice the language problem in Chen Che's words. When I heard it, I was very pleased, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, or King Chuang has vision, this arrangement is very appropriate, with my vision of going south and north for decades, it is quite a person who does his best." ”

Chen Che also smiled and nodded yes, at this time, the guide had already relieved himself, and smiled at the old man: "Brother, it's not that I laugh at you, your vision of going south and north is really not very good." ”

Someone criticized his own experience, but the old man was unhappy at the time, and said angrily: "I have been in Yan'an Post Station for decades, and I have seen a lot of people of all colors, where can I still walk my eyes?" So what do you mean I can't see? ”

"Said that your brother's vision is not accurate, and he really didn't bend to you, the talent just now is our king of Chuang Wang, but you have become a bookmaker, isn't it not allowed?"

"What? That, that, the show is our king? After getting everyone's approval, the old man knelt down, excited for a long time before trembling and said loudly: "My old boy has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, the king who worships every day is in front of me, but I don't know, and I also gave me a gift to say hard work, and drank the water I brought and said thank you, what a sin this is me, fold life, fold longevity." ”

Chen Che hurriedly pulled up the old man and said with a smile: "Old man, my family is usually like this, it's nothing." ”

The more he said this, the more surprised the old man became, and immediately ran to the people, talking about how he drank water and carried people with King Chuang, King Chuang also said hard work with himself, he was surrounded everywhere he went, everyone wanted to ask clearly, King Chuang was like the leopard head and eyes enshrined in his own family, when he knew that it was the scholar who was busy with everyone, everyone was not disappointed, but felt more intimate.

When he thought that King Chuang would rush to Ganquan with a brother, he was in a hurry, and hurriedly asked Chen Che to quickly bring hundreds of young men here to chase after him, and even more anxiously picked up the stick and spread his legs and chased after him.

Looking at such a scene and feeling the heartfelt care of the people, Chen San sighed in his heart. As the old saying goes, those who have won the hearts of the people since ancient times have won the world, so why worry about the great cause of military division with such a people?
