Chapter 446: The Chosen One
However, the local drinking water depends on a clear spring at the foot of the mountain. As the population increases, the flow of water from the spring decreases. Now the influx of more than 100,000 refugees has made the spring close to drying up. Therefore, the town has sent people to fence off the clear spring, and no one is allowed to approach it.
But that doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to drink water. Instead, in the evening of each day, the water is distributed to the people. In order to control the amount of water, each person can only receive one bowl of water a day. Although it is not thirsty to death, it is not satisfied.
Because of this, Kehar knew that this bowl of water was not easy and rejected Dong Bo.
"How can you not be thirsty! Your bowl of water in the morning has been given to others. I am old, but I am not blind. Dong Bo carried a wooden bowl containing half a bowl of water and walked out of the grass hut made of branches and leaves.
This is still relatively rare!
Many people are late, and they can't even collect branches and leaves. I can only sleep on the ground as I find a place. Fortunately, it doesn't rain much in the river, and the temperature is not low. So that sleeping in the wild, will not frostbite and freeze to death.
The woman had three children, but she could only receive two bowls of water. Behold, the boy was thirsty, and his mouth was cracked. But Har felt the eager eyes of Dong Bo who was inevitably looking at Dong Bo's bowl of water, and hurriedly walked over with a smile and welcomed Dong Bo back to the grass hut.
Knowing that something was wrong, Dong Bo hurriedly covered the wooden bowl with his hands as if he was hiding a treasure. Returning to the grass hut like this, Dong Bo deliberately taught a lesson with a straight face: "Look at yourself, aren't your mouths cracked?" ”。
After getting along with each other during the escape, he became more and more interested in Kehar. And his son's Dong Quan just hasn't married yet. So in his heart, he already had the idea of making Kehar his daughter-in-law.
"Those children are pitiful, I can bear it." , But Har only took a shallow sip, then licked the water stains on the edge of the wooden bowl, and responded. may be the experience of being sold into slavery since she was a child, which makes her more empathetic to those poor families. Therefore, when I saw that the woman's difficulty, I couldn't help but feel compassion.
Dong Bo listened and only sighed. He found out, but Har is good at everything, but his heart is too soft. But that's a good thing, too! Because this shows that Kehar's character is still very good.
"That's right! Has Brother Dong replied? Kehar had the heart to change the topic and spoke up.
"Nope! Your eldest brother Dong went to inquire about the news early in the morning, and now I don't know what happened? Dong Bo's tone was a little lonely, and then said: "Hey! If this pass is not opened, we can only take a boat down from the water. ”。
Kehar listened, untied the small cloth bag around his waist, and opened it to reveal a few mountain roots. It's hard to find! Because the people went around digging wild vegetables and hunting, all the food in the surrounding area was swept away. She also climbed a mountain to dig up these roots.
"There are a lot of people waiting for news at the gate, and Brother Dong is afraid that he is also waiting there. It's just that it's not safe to take a boat from the water. But Har followed Degunaba on an errand and knew a lot about the water.
Over the years, I have never heard of a boat in good water. So when she first heard the news, she instinctively became suspicious. It's just that among the refugees, many see it as a last resort. If it weren't for the heavy cost of the boat, the refugees would have gone.
"I also know it's not safe. The water is turbulent in this flood season, and it can only reach people's waists during the dry season, where can you sail! Dong Bo sighed. He is also a person who understands that it is difficult to sail on the water.
But the way back is there, and people are desperate to grasp this life-saving straw.
"Maybe it's a raft, right? This thing is very light, and it is really possible to go down the water. Dong Bo seemed to be comforting himself.
But Har knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he wiped the dust of the mountain roots with his clothes, handed it to Dong Bodao, and said, "Eat it quickly!" If you are seen by others, you will get into trouble. ”。 Because there was not enough to eat, many people started their own ideas. This is still the case when the town of Guankou distributes food every day! Otherwise, there is a real possibility of cannibalism.
Dong Bo took the mountain root with a soft gaze, and the haze in his heart dispelled a lot.
At this time, a tall man walked in. Hooked nose, millet eyes, and curly black hair. Dressed in a gray robe, with several large holes in it. And many places are blackened and dirty.
"Brother Dong!" , Khar's eyes lit up. It is the time of youth, and it is the most youthful time. And Dong Quan was born tall and took good care of himself on the road. So when you come and go, you have a secret feeling.
"Quan'er, what's going on at the pass?" , Dong Bo then asked. To the west of Guazhou, it is considered the Western Regions. There have never been few Han people in this place, and after the Tang Dynasty lost control of this place, it has been isolated from the Central Plains Dynasty for more than 400 years. Therefore, the Han people who migrated to the Western Regions with Yelu Dashi had to marry women of different races.
Although Dong Bo has obvious Han characteristics, his curly hair still bears the mark of an alien race. In Dong Quan's generation, the blood of the Han people has been diluted.
Grunting, Dong Quan took the wooden bowl handed over by Kehar and took two sips. The whole person was also a lot more relaxed. He bit off a piece of mountain root and said loudly: "It is rumored by the refugees over there that the Puhua County Guard has transferred the camp tent and food from Malu. And a large army went north, as if to send troops to quell the chaos. ”。
"Now it's good! Da Liao is saved! Dong Bo said with some rejoicing. Although it is not possible to live and work in peace and contentment under the rule of Da Liao, but when it is chaotic, there is no good life. And he often listened to his father's westward migration and followed Emperor Dezong to conquer the great achievements of the Western Regions. So in my heart, I have a special obsession with Da Liao.
Dong Quan didn't care about the rise and fall of Da Liao, and said a little indifferently: "Save it or not, Da Liao is going to die." Not only Khorezm, but also the barbarians in the north. I heard that the current saint ignored the dissuasion of the king of the county in the river and mistakenly believed in the traitorous minister. Only then did the huge Liao end up where it is now. ”。
Although Qu Qu Lu's rebellion was not directly related to Li Shichang, in the eyes of the outside world, it was Li Shichang who left the court that caused Qu Qu Lu's rebellion. Therefore, in the eyes of the common people, Yelu Zhilugu is no different from the faint king.
Dong Bo was still a little in awe of the imperial power, and immediately scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, what are you talking about!" The Holy One is the chosen one, blessed by the gods. We're chewing our tongues here, and we're not going to get the gods angry, and we're not going to be able to eat and walk around. ”。
Dong Quan didn't care, and said loudly: "How can there be any gods to protect you."
