58. A pot of turbid wine, happy and sad (2)
Broken and miserable, walking with that group of men all the way, Li Ci deeply felt the meaning of these four words.
A simple wooden shelf covered with a thin layer of grass can be used as a place to live, crowded with seventeen or eighteen people, cramped and crowded.
Their clothes were thin and tattered, and almost all of their exposed skin was scarred, and even had festering frostbite.
There is no distinction between one and whom, the dirty hair is scattered, and it looks like just a bunch of people.
Humble as ants, piles of them.
The children in the crowd were at least sad and afraid.
Most adults have no expression on their faces.
It's just numbness, ignoring the wounds and pain on the body, ignoring Li Ci who came in, and not caring about the dirty hands blackening the snow-white bun, bringing the freshly distributed food to his mouth, mechanically repeating an action called chewing.
Because half of the food was distributed to feed the widows and orphans in the village, it was impossible for the displaced people to have enough to eat.
In Li Xi's plan, the harvest of the land will be in the autumn of the next year, and it will be able to barely sustain itself in the operation of this simple system.
And the food that was transported was a temporary relief, but there was no reason to throw it all to these displaced people.
As long as they are kept alive and the labor force on the bottom line is ensured, how can they really be full.
Li Ci thought that this was right, but when he saw a five or six-year-old child, who did not argue between men and women, holding a snow-white steamed bun in his black thin hand, he was nervous and gnawing like a little hamster, and he didn't dare to swallow too much in one bite.
Li Ci felt inexplicably ashamed and sad in his heart, which made him uneasy
They use this nourishment to sustain a painful life that will not end at least tonight.
Even tomorrow may have to endure the same, if not more, pain.
There is no hope, no future, no suffering, only the original instincts of living beings.
To live is to wait for death.
This rather philosophical and sarcastic speech is vividly embodied in them.
In his previous life, Li Xi had seen a large number of pictures and film works of refugees from various countries in history.
But there is no one who makes me feel so real that life is cheap and humble.
This is the glorious praise, the great man who is like a mountain in history.
This is the Three Kingdoms where the literati of modern times exhausted their talents and pen and ink, and each praised the literary and military affairs.
Some people once said that in the history of the Three Kingdoms, there are countless heroes and heroes, and there are heroes and kings who are picturesque.
There are countless strategists and famous generals here, covering mountains and rivers, and the romance is peerless
There are fragrant women here, with soft skin like snow, green silk like satin, charming and beautiful.
Talents are all over the place, and Jiawen Huazhang has thousands of words to help wine.
Hundred miles of imperial capital, the night fire is brilliant.
The context of etiquette and music, the backbone is upright.
As a traverser who would be madly envied by countless teenagers in his previous life, when Li Xi really came to this era.
But like a scholar in a ghost story, he inadvertently tore apart the charming skin of his favorite beauty.
Inside was a stench of rotting and stinking corpses.
The skin and bones are soaked with pus and blood
Grievances, wailing, rancid, mixed with shivering.
After walking seven or eight shacks, Li Xi no longer had the determination to finish the rest.
After getting out of a shack, Li Ci slowly stopped, feeling the anxious breathing of several people behind him, maybe they were trying to figure out their own thoughts.
Li Xi smiled bitterly, and turned his head to look at the Hu man who had broken a rib but was still struggling to keep up.
In the other party's frightened look, Li Xi reached out and stroked his wound.
Thinking of the little white fox he had seen that time, Li Xi was full of essence qi obtained from practicing qi, and followed the trajectory of the complicated meridians.
A small strand penetrated the man's body, slowly healing his wounds.
This has to be accumulated by Li Xi's half-moon of vomiting.
Li Ci said softly as if self-deprecating:
"I keep saying that I want the people to live better, but it is so natural to deceive the people, what is wrong with you......"
Under the unexplained gaze of a group of people, he hurried a few steps forward, called a messenger who dealt with miscellaneous matters, and ordered:
"Most of the Lucun was slaughtered, so there should be a vacant house, and priority should be given to arranging the children and elderly who are physically weak among the homeless people to live in for the winter......"
The poor man is not from Lucun, and he is still honest, but he also feels embarrassed, and kindly reminds:
"The village chief...... I'm afraid this is inappropriate, I'm afraid the people of Deer Village won't agree, these miscellaneous hands and feet are not clean...... If something happens......"
"Phew......"
A few homeless men who followed Li Ci over, when they heard this poor man talking, their eyes were not good, if it weren't for Li Ci pressing in front, they would definitely not just spit.
Li Ci glanced at this young man, his sisters were all taken captive, but unfortunately the old lady who was hiding under the vat was safe and sound.
Here to recruit people, he is the first to come, work hard, willing to work hard.
I brought dry food with me, and I brought back the white flour buns distributed twice a day to my wife.
"Lu San ......"
Li Ci's voice was soft, and he spit out a name.
The poor man was stunned, but he didn't expect the village chief to remember him.
Then I listened to Li Ci's complicated emotion:
"None of their old men are younger than your mother, no matter what the reason, just by virtue of the decades they have lived, let them survive in this place all winter, it is our juniors who do evil......"
"We are from a small village and mountain people, and we don't understand any big truths, but we haven't been forced to the point of not being human......"
Lu San was silent, and only after a while did he mutter: "...... , just listen to the ...... of the village chief"
Li Ci said with a smile on his face:
"After doing things today, go to my house to get two rabbits, they are beaten in the mountains, the meat is good, give your mother a taste......
The young man who was a few years older than Li Ci was honest and honest, and when he heard this, he hurriedly shook his head:
"Then there is no such reason...... I'm embarrassed to take the village chief's things......"
Li Ci stretched out his arm and patted him on the shoulder, scolding with a smile: "... It is a great blessing for people to have their fathers and mothers to be filial to them...
I don't know how many people envy you, what else to be embarrassed about........."
Lu San grinned when he heard this, feeling that the village chief was a person who could be the village chief, and what he said made sense.
However, Lu San looked at the pile of miscellaneous things behind Li Ci, although he listened to Li Ci's words, he still didn't feel that these young men were worth taking care of, it was really an eyesore.
So he only responded to Li Ci for a few words, and then left.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to maliciously shake a roll of his eyes at the people behind him.
The bunch of men didn't expect to give an eye for an eye a vicious look, but looked at the tall and strong man with a look of surprise, he who had flown upside down and bruised, broke his ribs, and it was quite difficult to move strongly, but under Li Xi's stroke just now, although it was still not healed, it was obviously much better than before.
At least his face, which was already pale from pain, had improved and his movements were a little more agile.
This simply made this group of poor people who had never seen anything big in the world regard Li Ci as a mysterious and unpredictable immortal.
