The river's bed has dried up, and patches of sand have spread on both sides. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yang He walked up to the riverbank, looking expectantly, there was still barren grass, not to mention that the village was inhabited, even the trees were very scarce, and the scene in front of him seemed to be as if human beings had completely died, which made people feel bitter despair.

Yang He stepped forward silently, and saw that there seemed to be an abandoned village a few miles away, go over there to see your luck, what materials can be collected.

The refugees behind him followed silently, and after setting off from the ruins of "Wukou", they walked for another two days, and Yang He estimated that he had walked more than 100 miles.

This distance is even more winding, and the Yang River is estimated to have traveled only forty miles.

However, compared with the previous few days, the refugees looked much better and showed some strength.

After all, sixteen wolves were beaten, and in addition to the feast that day, Yang He provided food with one wolf a day and five catties of rice. The refugees are effectively nourished, especially by eating meat, and their bodies recover quickly.

Moreover, in addition to the original 48 people, 22 people have been added to this team, and there are also 8 young and strong men.

But they were sheltered in an abandoned village at noon yesterday, and they knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, hoping that Yang He could contain them.

Yang He saw that most of the people in this team were old, weak, women and children, which was quite similar to Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng's team at that time, so he accepted them.

It is very important to strengthen the team in troubled times, and only by constantly gathering and holding together can we survive in troubled times.

A particularly large group of refugees always has a better chance of survival than a small group of refugees.

Yang He also interrogated them about their origins, but most of them were from Yongcheng, Defu, and the reasons for their escape were similar to those of Yang He, Qi Youxin, etc. This time, the officers and soldiers fought with the thieves in Zhongzhou, resulting in countless fleeing teams in various states and counties.

Yang He is still relatively relieved about these newly admitted personnel, who are basically honest and silent ordinary farmers, and they are also very willing to integrate into this team.

After all, for them, it is rare to see such a benevolent leader as Yang Xianggong in troubled times, and he is still a scholar, he is a talent at a young age, and he has a strong force, as evidenced by the wolf corpse they carry.

They inquired privately, and most of these wolves were beaten by Princess Yang Xiang and her servants, which shocked them.

And after they joined the team, they also drank the broth for the first time, and many people cried on the spot.

Not to mention that after fleeing, eating meat before fleeing is a distant memory for these people, and many people decide to follow it to the end.

In fact, for these new recruits, the old people in the team are faintly repulsed, after all, when there are more people, they will eat less meat and porridge.

However, first, Yang He's prestige is there, and second, they also know the truth that there is great power in numbers, and these newcomers are also very interesting, and after joining the team, they take the initiative to pick up luggage and baggage, and they are also very hard working when looking for wild vegetables.

Except for one person......

It was a guy wearing a small hat and a large blue-black pigmented spot around his right eye socket, that is, a cyan birthmark.

Since early in the morning, this person has been shouting, roaring, and scolding his Hun family and little daughter, while proudly observing the reactions of the people around him.

Just as he had crossed the riverbed, he did not know which nerve was not many, and began to use foul language and insults against his own family, and he scolded him very badly.

A young man and a few women next to him couldn't look past it, and persuaded him to say a few words, but instead slapped his wife on the head and covered his face, and even his daughter who was a few years old did not let go, while scolding non-stop such as "dead mother-in-law, losing money and goods, and rotten goods".

His daughter burst into tears, and the woman held her in her arms and just endured it in silence, her eyes full of humiliation and helplessness.

The scolding and cries broke the calm of the team, many refugees looked at each other with dissatisfaction, and Yang He's eyes also cooled.

He knew more or less about this person yesterday, Wu Zhongren said that he was originally a green-skinned bachelor in Lijia, and he only knew how to eat, drink and have fun on weekdays, but his Hun family was a good family in Lijia, but he married him for some reason.

Then after this person got married, he was still idle, and his wife supported the family business on weekdays.

Even after fleeing, he could hide, avoid, and do nothing, if it weren't for his wife's good popularity, he would have been kicked out by the team a long time ago.

Yesterday, I saw his honest appearance, and I thought it was an exaggeration by the former Wuzhong, after all, Yang He believes that seeing is believing and hearing is false, but he didn't expect it......

He has seen a lot of such people and things in later generations, they are all cruel but cowardly people, cruel inside and outside, they can only show their existence through bullying the weak, or achieve a certain goal, if outsiders persuade them to pay attention, they will be more and more satisfied.

Just like some beggars with young children, or monkey tricksters, when the audience does not give money or gives little money, they torture young children or monkeys, and the audience can't stand it, so they naturally give more money.

This guy is obviously this kind of person, who shows his existence by beating and scolding his wife and children, and even establishes a voice in the army?

He sneered, his eyes cold and ruthless.

"This pickled dirty thing."

Minister Yang scolded suddenly, he was in a bad mood on the way to escape, this guy was still stirring up the wind and rain, so he let him taste the power of his fists, and let him know what law and military discipline are.

He was about to turn around and teach this guy a lesson, but Yang He was already pressing the horse chopping knife and turned back coldly, and Minister Yang hurriedly followed.

The cyan birthmark was still roaring, slapping his wife and children hard.

He looked proud, after all, this was his own family matter, and outsiders could only persuade him, and he was helpless against himself.

Isn't there a saying that it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs?

Suddenly seeing Yang He walking in front of him, he quickly stopped his hand, his face showed fear, nodded and said: "Xianggong, mother-in-law and children are not sensible, and the little ones will shut them up." ”

Yang He just looked at him coldly, no wonder as long as there are honest people in the Qi family's army, a mouse feces can spoil a pot of porridge, such a person is too turbulent to the army.

Seeing Yang He looking at himself like that, his eyes were indifferent and ruthless, and a chill surged from the soles of his feet, as if he felt that he had performed a little, this person smiled and said, "Xianggong ......"

Yang He drew his knife violently, and a cold light slashed through his neck, and before he could say the next words, the human head flew high, and bright red blood gushed from his broken neck, like a fountain, and then the headless corpse shook and fell to the ground like that.

"Tom."

The flying head fell to the ground and rolled on the ground a few times, its eyes still full of flattery and disbelief.

"Ahh

There were several exclamations in the team, and watching the people in the army being killed at close range, the blood and the falling human heads, which shocked them very much, especially the refugees who joined yesterday, all of them were pale and frightened.

Yang He has always felt gentle and elegant to them, but at this time he showed a ruthless side.

Qi Youxin and the other old people in the team were calmer, after all, when they first saw Yang He, it was he who killed the rebels with thunder, and then shot the wolves strongly, leaving an indelible impression on him, knowing that he was not as like a spring breeze as he looked.

"Death to those who shake the hearts of the army!"

Yang He said lightly, looked at this person's wife and daughter, saw that she looked sluggish, only stared at the headless corpse of her husband on the ground, her daughter shrunk in her arms, her eyes widened, and she had stopped crying.

He said to the young man who had just been persuaded by the other party: "Your name is Luo Xianjue? From now on, you will take care of this mother and daughter! ”

He had already seen that this young man's expression was wrong, and when he looked at the blue birthmark and this woman, his eyes were full of love, pain, resentment, etc., maybe the two were lovers before, and then they were stabbed horizontally by this green skin.

Sure enough, Na Luo Xianjue was so excited that his face turned red, and he said loudly: "Don't worry, the little ones will take care of them." ”

Yang He snorted, took out a soft cloth to wipe the blood marks on the knife, slowly returned the knife from the sheath, and said casually: "Keep walking." ”

Walking forward again, Minister Yang, Qi Youxin and others hurriedly followed.

The refugees left far away, leaving only a headless corpse on the ground.

……

"Etiquette and religion."

Yang He sighed secretly.

After everyone walked for a while, a few women in their village finally couldn't help talking about it, but they told the truth of the matter.

It turned out that the green skin was called Wu Shengzuo, and this woman was called Zhang Yuncao, originally she and Luo Xianjue's childhood sweethearts had reached the point of talking about marriage, but they were suddenly inserted by Wu Shengzuo and used despicable means to break up a pair of good mandarin ducks.

The means of this Wu Shengzuo envoy are also simple, that is, he suddenly exposed the bird to Zhang Yuncao in a no-man's place, and then publicized it in the village, which caused Zhang Yuncao's reputation to be damaged.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the defense of etiquette and religion was actually not so strict, but the Zhang family was a serious and traditional family, and when they were innocent and had a reason to not commit suicide, they could only commit themselves to marrying, so a good marriage was broken up.

After listening to the words of those women, all the refugees were filled with righteous indignation, and scolded Wu Shengzuo for being despicable and shameless in unison.

Luo Xianjue also said excitedly that he would definitely be good to Zhang Yuncao, even the daughter born to her and Wu Shengzuo would treat it as her own and treat it as her own daughter.

Zhang Yunxu also accepted his fate again and obeyed Yang He's arrangement.

With Yang Xianggong's endorsement, when he is with Luo Xianjue, it is not a private affair, but an open and honest affair.

Yang He shook his head, that is, this kind of thing only happened in ancient times, in the future generations, don't talk about falling a bird, even if you go to bed, it is not a fuss, otherwise the bird maniac on the bus and subway will have a large group of wives and concubines.

Qi Youxin listened and said hatefully: "It's a pity that this person is treacherous and confused, otherwise he shouldn't have taken this person in yesterday...... Hmph, I thought he was an honest person. ”

Yang He sighed: "People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, how can it be so easy to see a person." ”

Qi Youxin hurriedly said: "The little one is loyal to the prime minister. ”

Yang He smiled: "I know. ”

They walked along a path to the abandoned village in front of them, which was overgrown with artemisia grass and weeds on both sides, but it was still clear that there were once wheat fields on both sides, and on many farmlands, there were also layers of salt purlins.

This is the unique scenery of saline-alkali land, because the salt layer of the land is thick, every autumn sowing and spring ploughing season, the local people must use shovels to shovel up the salt soil layer on the cultivated land, pile it to the edge of the ground, and in the long run, there are layers of salt soil piles piled up on the edge of the farmland.

Locals call these salt layers "salt purlins", and if there is too much salt, these fields cannot even be cultivated with wheat, but only salt-tolerant crops such as sorghum and black beans.

Yang He observed these salt purlins, although the saline-alkali land is the great enemy of crops, but the piled up of salt soil is an excellent nitrate raw material, after a series of complicated procedures, more than 100 catties of salt soil can also refine five or six catties of nitrate and seven or eight catties of salt, but it is very tired.

When he was looking, suddenly Han Daxia's father and son, who were exploring the road ahead, rushed back, shouting something, and then the wind blew, and the artemisia grass separated, and a few horsemen and horses appeared in the distance, and it seemed that there were dozens of people behind them.

Qi Youxin's face turned pale and he muttered, "Horse thief? ”

……

Old White Cow: I'm going out to do something tomorrow, but it's still a change, and the next chapter is twelve o'clock in the evening.

I suddenly found that 99% of readers' messages came from mobile phones, which was terrible.
