Chapter 560: An Ling's Observations

After hearing the facts of Yanling County's Ling Peng Yi, Zhao Hongrun was so angry that he couldn't eat that dinner, and immediately took Wei Jiao, Lu Mu, Zhou Pu, Chu Heng, and Mu Qing to prepare to go to Anling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, when Zhao Hongrun and his party turned around the hill on the north side of Yanling, Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling army, chased after him with five hundred Yanling soldiers, probably considering that Zhao Hongrun went to Yanling with six people, or something bad might happen.

In this regard, Zhao Hongrun did not say anything about the crows who followed him, after all, this was the kindness of Qu Cheng and Yan Mo, and he accepted it.

Anling is not far from Yanling, in fact, it is half a day's journey in the daytime, but because it is dark at this moment, and there are 500 Yanling soldiers, Zhao Hongrun had to slow down the speed of the road, so that it was not until the next day that they came to the vicinity of Anling County.

After arriving, Zhao Hongrun ordered to rest in place because the sky was still dark.

It is spring now, and the days are not long, until about three o'clock, the sky is slowly brightening.

So, Zhao Hongrun then ordered Yan Mo to call the five hundred generals of the five hundred Yanling soldiers, and ordered him to lead the army to rest in place, while he himself took all the sect guards and Yan Mo, the deputy general of the Yanling army, to slowly approach Anling.

As the sky gradually brightened, Zhao Hongrun gradually saw the whole picture of Anling County.

The first thing he saw was not the majestic city wall of Anling County, but in the southwest of Anling County, very close to the county seat, an existence like a village.

Not?

A trace of doubt flashed in Zhao Hongrun's heart.

As we all know, the fact that the county seat is only a county seat does not mean that all the people in the county live in the county, and there will be many famous or unknown villages under its rule.

But the problem is that these villages should not be built outside the city of Anling.

Just like Shangshui County under the rule of Zhao Hongrun, there are four villages with a scale of tens of thousands of people in the county, but these villages are all distributed in different locations in the county, because only in this way can the resources in the county be fully utilized, so that the county residents will not have conflicts because of the cultivated land and the prey on the mountain.

And this should be the truth that any county magistrate should understand, but why did the county magistrate of Anling County build such a village outside Anling City?

The more Zhao Hongrun thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he rode his mount close to the community.

After taking a closer look, he realized that what kind of village this was, it was clearly a refugee camp!

In the distance, you can't see it, but when you get closer, this "village" doesn't even have decent thatched huts, let alone tiled houses, and everywhere you look, there are simple dwellings with "triangular tents" - the people here use a few bamboo poles, long branches and the like to prop up a tent-like thing, and then cover it with shabby clothes and bedding to make a simple shelter that can shelter from the wind and rain.

“……”

Zhao Hongrun dismounted and walked into the refugee camp.

Because those "sheds" are so shabby, that who sleeps inside, Zhao Hongrun can see it at a glance when he walks outside.

They were all ragged and gray-looking people.

Outside these sheds, many of them have rudimentary stoves stacked with stones and broken bricks, and cooking utensils are set up on them.

And these cooking utensils are all kinds of strange, there are cooking utensils, there are food utensils, there are water utensils, in short, all kinds of mess, I don't know where to find bronze utensils.

For example, the position where Zhao Hongrun was standing at the moment, he recognized it for a long time, and finally recognized that what was on the stove in front of him should be a fragment of a copper tripod, slightly concave and arcing.

What does it taste like?

Because of what he smelled, Zhao Hongrun lowered his head and sniffed.

Because he found that something seemed to be boiling on the fragments of the copper tripod, and the smell was slightly pungent, and there was some smell of earth and grass.

Just when Zhao Hongrun was stunned, he suddenly heard a woman's cough from the small shed next to him.

Immediately, a crisp voice said worriedly: "Mother, go and see if the medicine is ready." ”

After that, there was a little girl with pigtails who came out of a small shed, and when she saw Zhao Hongrun and his party standing "outside the house", she was really stunned for a moment, and her face couldn't help but have a little fear.

So, Zhao Hongrun showed a harmless smile and took a few steps back, intending to show that he had no ill will towards the little girl.

I have to say that Zhao Hongrun's appearance is still good, handsome and slightly immature appearance, and when he laughs, he has a good affinity.

No, the little girl in front of her, who seemed to be only four or five years old, looked at Zhao Hongrun and blinked in confusion, and then she was no longer afraid of the latter, but squatted in front of the stove, quickly stuffed some thin branches under the stove, and then lay on the ground and blew towards the gap in the stove.

However, because she stuffed too many thin branches at one time, the stove did not burn quickly, but instead grew thick smoke, and the little girl choked and coughed repeatedly.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun stepped forward, took out some thin branches from the stove, and said to the little girl: "Little girl, it's not okay to add firewood like you, you see." ”

After that, Zhao Hongrun used a thin branch to pluck the firewood under the stove to make it free up an air inlet, and then, I saw him lying on the ground like a little girl and blowing twice, and the fire in the stove quickly ignited.

Seeing the little girl looking at herself with a powerful expression, Zhao Hongrun laughed.

Behind the two, Yan Mo looked at Zhao Hongrun's actions with interest.

He was a little incomprehensible, Zhao Hongrun, as a son of the royal family of Wei Guotang, would not hesitate to lie on the dirty soil and help the other party light the stove in order to help a civilian.

This is something that even Xiong Tuo, the king of Xuancheng, will not do!

Wei...... No, Great Wei, will become stronger and stronger......

Seeing Zhao Hongrun, who was smiling happily with the little girl, Yan Mo sighed from the bottom of his heart.

And just when Yan Mo was stunned, in the shed, the woman asked in surprise: "Ya'er, who is outside?" ”

The little girl looked Zhao Hongrun up and down a few times, and said, "It's a little uncle......

"Uncle ......"

Zhao Hongrun's face showed a look of shock, and he hurriedly corrected: "It's my brother, I'm called my brother." ”

His serious expression made the guards and Yan Mo smile secretly.

Even, Mu Qing teased: "Hehe, our son-in-law has also reached the age of being called uncle......"

"Bastard!" Zhao Hongrun scolded angrily in a low voice.

At this time, there was a sound of rustling in the shed, and immediately, a woman with unkempt hair poked her head out of it, and when she saw what Zhao Hongrun was wearing, her eyes couldn't help but flash with surprise.

It's no wonder, after all, whether it is clothes or accessories on Zhao Hongrun's body, they are all mortal, and they can be seen at a glance.

"A few honorable men, the little woman is so polite. …… I don't know how many, what's the matter? ”

The woman saluted Zhao Hongrun and the others, and then quietly summoned her daughter to her side, and looked at Zhao Hongrun and the others with still a little vigilant gaze.

She was a well-read woman......

Zhao Hongrun was a little surprised.

You must know that the etiquette performed by these women is very regular, and the other party's bearing is not like an ordinary uneducated woman, as if she has read a little book, which shows that this woman's family background should be good in the past.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun arched his hand and said, "This lady, we are passing through this business trip, just to see this ...... Well, the village is quite bizarre, so come and take a look. …… Under the surname Su, I don't know if Mrs. can solve the confusion in the next. ”

The woman looked at Zhao Hongrun with strange eyes, after all, the latter didn't look like a business traveler no matter how he looked at it, and he had a strong aristocratic temperament.

However, since Zhao Hongrun claimed to be a business traveler, the woman did not break it, and after covering her mouth with her sleeve and coughing twice, she raised her head and asked, "I don't know what this son wants to ask?" ”

I saw Zhao Hongrun pointing around, and then asked in a low voice, "Where are you from?" ”

The look of surprise in the little woman's eyes became even stronger, and she replied with a salute: "Minwoman, she is originally from Yanling......

Yan Ling?

A hint of discoloration flashed in Zhao Hongrun's eyes, and he frowned and asked, "Are you from Yanling who moved here to the Anling area two years ago?" ”

“…… Precisely. The little woman nodded back.

Zhao Hongrun frowned and asked, "Why do you live in ...... Over here? ”

When the little woman heard this, her face showed a little helplessness, and she sighed: "Anling is overcrowded, and the county commander does not allow us to enter the city." …… He wants us to return to our hometown, but ...... But Yanling has been burned down, and now Yanling is occupied by those Chu people, where do we have anything to return to? ”

"......" Zhao Hongrun opened his mouth and was speechless.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard in the distance.

"What are you guys doing?!"

Zhao Hongrun turned his head to look, and saw a man running over quickly carrying a wolf.

Seeing this, the little woman hurriedly shouted: "Don't be impulsive, husband! ”

After that, she explained to Zhao Hongrun: "This is my grandson. "Note: The grandson, that is, the husband. There are relevant records in the Song Dynasty, which is a relatively elegant name.

Hearing the little woman's shout, the anger on the man's face retreated, only to see him come to the outside of the shed, put down the prey, pick up the daughter who threw herself into his arms, and then looked at Zhao Hongrun and his party suspiciously.

So, Zhao Hongrun then introduced himself again.

Seeing this, the man was relieved and explained with a smile: "This son is not strange, because there were a few ruffians last time, and I was a little wary of flirting with insiders while I was away." …… Under the surname Lu, the single name is a favorite word. ”

As she spoke, the little girl looked at the prey that her father had hunted and said with some disappointment, "Father, do you want to eat wolf meat again?" …… I'm tired of eating wolf meat. When will we be able to eat rice like we used to at home? ”

Lu Zhi was a little helpless, touched his daughter's head, and smiled helplessly at Zhao Hongrun.

Seeing this, Zhao Hongrun asked suspiciously: "Brother Lu, is the price of rice in Anling very expensive?" ”

"Ya'er, go to my mother's side." Lu Zhi touched his daughter's head, and then nodded to Zhao Hongrun, and sighed: "It is more than twice as expensive as when I waited in Yanling in the past." ”

How can it be?!

Zhao Hongrun was shocked when he heard this.

You must know that as far as he knows, the price of rice in Wei has only increased by 30% compared with previous years. (To be continued.) )
