20. Pre-war mobilization
The next day, just after dawn, the manor began to be busy.
Many men were either willingly or reluctantly pulled away by Chen Qing, Qin Mo and others, and one man refused to leave, and Feng Chou Nian slashed an axe on the wooden board above his head, and the wooden board was suddenly cracked into several pieces, and the man could only follow him out timidly......
On the side of the village, dozens of men put together the door panels, several craftsmen and Lao Feng visually measured the size of the wooden boards, and then used planers and saws to rest, and it didn't take long for a square wooden shield to be made, and several farmers took straw ropes to wrap and fix them one by one according to the requirements of the craftsmen, and then mixed with the mud and sand of the well water were randomly smeared on it......
Nearly 100 people cleaned up the filth in the village under the instruction of Yang Fan Ye Bin, and the women and girls also took the broom to sweep out the garbage in the house, and gradually converged into one place, forming a garbage heap with a radius of several meters. Although Ye Bin didn't understand the direct connection between the mess and the epidemic, he was still happy to find that the village had become clean and tidy......
Yang Youhuai and Huzi pulled the mules and horses, followed by dozens of women and girls with coarse cloths covering their faces to the place pointed by Liu Ce, only to see yellow-white hard lumps all over the ground, "This is what Brother Liu said about raw ash?" What the hell do you want this thing for? Yang Youhuai and Huzi looked confused, but they still instructed everyone to collect them according to Liu Ce's instructions.
"Straight back! Hold your gun and stand firm! "On the open field of Zhuangzi, one hundred and twenty men are practicing formation under the guidance of Liu Ce, but this difficulty is beyond Liu Ce's estimate, before the soldiers in Houtu Fort learned the formation so quickly just because those are veterans who have experienced a hundred battles and seen blood, and they can become combat effectiveness in a short time, but these civilians who have not been soldiers in front of him Liu Ce expects that it will go on like this, let alone two days, that is, don't think about it for another twenty days, many people can't even tell the difference between the left and right, and there is no way Liu Ce can only use the names of the two people on the left and right sides of the queue as the standard, and continue to train, That's not all, mainly Liu Ce can see that these people are not very enthusiastic.
"Stop practicing, stop!" Liu Ce couldn't stand it, and sat on the steps, "You guys just wait to be killed by the thieves, look at you one by one, what's the difference between you and waste?" Your wives and children are waiting to be raped by thieves and boiled into broth, so that you will not be able to go to hell when you die, you will not be able to find your own home, you can only be a lonely ghost and a wild ghost, and you will not be able to stand the incense for generations! Looking at the frightened eyes of the people below, Liu Ce continued: "When the time comes, the thieves will kill, and a few of us will pat our butts and leave, and the thieves can't help us, but what about you?" Watching his wife and children being humiliated, watching his parents being hung up and torn off their flesh piece by piece, but there was nothing they could do, they could only kneel in front of the thieves and beg for mercy helplessly, and then their heads were cut off and thrown on the street to be taken away by wild dogs, do you want to do this? Let's go if you want to. ”
Hearing Liu Ce say this, the men below were terrified, they fled to this manor not by relying on these skilled military heroes, if they all left, they and their families would undoubtedly die.
"Master Jun, don't go, you're leaving, who will protect us?" Finally, a man trembled and spoke to Liu Ce, after all, the military master in front of him just arrived in Zhuangzi yesterday and distributed the food he brought with him to everyone, and the martial arts are also amazing and comparable to the year of Feng Chou, with such a good person, everyone will be safer, in case they leave, if they take the bald head away together, then everyone will really have no way to live, after all, no one really wants to be killed by thieves.
Liu Ce squinted at the man, and said slowly: "No one can save you, only you can save you, I am now passing on the ability to kill the enemy to you just to let you live well, even if it is not for yourself, for your wife and children to no longer be humiliated by thieves, you should also study seriously, in case a few of us are gone, you can also have a guarantee to live in this troubled world!" Speaking of this, Liu Ce got up: "If you are willing to practice well, stand up straight for me!" ”
Everyone present immediately stood upright, with a hint of firmness in their eyes, Liu Ce nodded, finally a little decent, and began to continue to practice the formation, and instructed Sun Cheng, who was stunned by the watching: "Whoever is not serious will give me a stick later, remember to be measured, hit the buttocks, don't work too hard, it's not good to be disabled." Sun Cheng came back to his senses and nodded, and suddenly realized that you kid really took himself as the head, think about it, shook his head self-deprecatingly, and began to help Liu Ce supervise the formation, and the drill slowly took on a little shape......
At noon, the aroma of rice wafted from the manor, "It's time to eat!" Xu Hui and Sister-in-law Qing and several other women and men pushed a few half-person tall wooden barrels towards the venue, and everyone who had been busy all morning was already hungry and couldn't wait to squeeze forward.
"Smack!" A crisp whip sounded in the air, and everyone was startled, only to see Liu Ce standing on top of the village wall, shouting: "Line up!" Women and children are preferred! Whoever fights again, the stick is expelled! ”
Although everyone was dissatisfied, they still obediently lined up in several lines, letting the elderly, women and children line up.
Today's meal is still wild vegetable porridge, but it is much thicker than before, and there is a sweet potato or two potatoes. The women and children who received the meal bowed to Liu Ce gratefully, and the women and children who seduced Liu Ce yesterday were also among them, and took their three-year-old son to bow deeply, and said: "Son, remember the military master on the stage, he is a good person......
Liu Ce watched the women and children bow to him one by one, his nose couldn't help but be sore, he couldn't help but let the tears fall, he really integrated into this world now, and he had something called responsibility.
Qin Mo's eyes lit up, he glanced at Ye Bin beside him, and saw that he was looking at Liu Ce at a high place like himself, and then he came back to his senses and glanced at Qin Mo at each other.
After lunch, everyone continued to work, and because they had the strength to eat, the efficiency was much higher than that of starving in the morning. The garbage in the village has been almost cleaned up with the efforts of everyone, and now the women and children are wiping down the doors, windows, furniture and other places where they live; Buckets of well water are boiled in a large pot and poured into a clean crockpot, which is also instructed by Liu Ce, to drink boiling hot water so that there will be no diarrhea; The garbage outside the village gate has basically been buried, and everyone can't believe that there is so much garbage in the place where they live! Looking at the neat and clean manor, my heart suddenly felt very comfortable; Hundreds of bags of raw ash were moved into the village by Yang Youhuai, Huzi and others, and now all they have to do is to mash them one by one and put them into small bags wrapped in rags; In the evening, the 130 square shields had been completed, and after being coated with mud and sand, they stood on the site waiting to dry, and now Feng Ying was sharpening bamboo guns with other craftsmen, just because Liu Ce found that there were a lot of bamboos in the back garden of Zhuangzi, so he asked Feng Ying to work overtime to make some bamboo guns in order to cope with the shortage of weapons.
"Okay, that's all for today, let's go rest, and we'll have dinner in a while." After a busy day's exercises, Liu Ce was also exhausted, although these homeless people still did not meet expectations, but they were still much better than the morning training, which also made Liu Ce quite gratified.
After dinner, Qin Mo and Ye Bin inspected the manor that was vastly different from yesterday, and they were each sighing, when they suddenly heard a sound of a long guqin coming from Liu Ce's house, as if someone was playing music.
When cleaning the manor, a woman and child turned out a guqin, Liu Ce took it, in the previous life learned some music tunes in this regard, remembering these days for the livelihood of the desperate rush, to today in the village to see and hear, touch the scene, play a film and television drama in the previous life "See the dragon unloading the armor" in the tune of "Zhao Jiajun", the tune is bleak and tactful, people unconsciously sigh the impermanence of life......
Qin Mo and Ye Bin slowly walked into the house, did not disturb Liu Ce, and also felt the bleak scene in this tune together, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time.
"Mr. Qin, Mr. Ye, when did you come in?" After the song was finished, Liu Ce looked up and saw Qin Mo and Ye Bin standing in front of him, as if he hadn't recovered from his tune.
"Little Brother Liu's piano voice expresses the helplessness of the people in this troubled world at the moment, which makes people sigh, which is really extraordinary." Qin Mo had tears in the corners of his eyes, and said slowly, Ye Bin Ye beside him felt the same way.
"Let Mr. smile, the little brother just touched the scene and played it casually." Liu Ce replied with his fists clenched.
"I wonder what the title of this song is? Who's the hand?" Ye Bin asked, it was the first time he had heard such a bleak tune, and he was also a person with good rhythms, and he felt that the person who made this score must be extraordinary.
"The little brother just played it casually, and there was no song name, if you had to have it, it would be called 'sigh of the dust'." Of course, Liu Ce couldn't tell the source of this tune, and no one would believe it, so he simply plagiarized the work of Master Li Yunwen, but changed the name.
"Sigh this dust......" Ye Bin muttered to himself, secretly writing it down.
"Little Brother Liu, there is something unclear below, and I hope to give advice." Qin Mo looked puzzled and asked, "Today, for the sake of discipline, Junior Brother Liu asked the homeless people to line up to get food in turn, I understand, but why do you want to let women and children take food first?" ”
In fact, Qin Mo was very puzzled by the fact that women and children should take food first in the morning, in this troubled era, they should take care of the strong men first to ensure their survival, if the women and children were allowed to eat first, in case the food was not enough, wouldn't there be one less guarantee? In this era when the class is very strict, especially in this troubled era, including the royal family of the scholars, women, women and children are always the priority to be abandoned, this situation Qin Mo has become commonplace in the Far East, and he does not feel that there is anything wrong, he hopes to hear different answers from Liu Ce to solve his doubts, and Ye Bin beside him is also waiting for Liu Ce to solve his doubts.
Liu Ce got up and came to Qin Mo and said, "Women are naturally weak and need to be taken care of more than men, and more importantly, a dignified seven-foot man can't even protect his own woman, what kind of family and country can he talk about?" Aren't women, women and children part of the family and the country? The Great Zhou Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, with a population of more than one billion, and every time there is a difficulty, it gives priority to giving up women, children and children, and exchanging women for a short period of peace. What's the use of having so many men?" After a pause, seeing Qin Mo Yebin's shocked face, he continued: "Men should be brave in the world, what's wrong with giving priority to women and children!" Protecting the country and protecting the family first, this is the most important trend that every boy should do here! ”
"Good! Brother Liu has unique insights and tells the truth, Qin admires him, please accept my worship. Qin Mo was impassioned, and he and Ye Bin hugged their fists and bowed deeply, Liu Ce's words made them suddenly open up and open up a new world.
"Don't dare, don't dare, the two gentlemen please hurry up, I can't afford such a big gift from the two gentlemen." Liu Ce hurriedly helped the two up, and the three of them sat down and exchanged a lot, until late at night Qin Ye and the two got up to say goodbye and left.
