XXVIII. Owner
When Liu Ce and the others appeared in front of the displaced people of Wanjiazhuang with full of supplies, a burst of earth-shattering cheers broke out up and down in the village, and many people shed tears of excitement......
"Xu Hui, what are you doing, don't you hurry up and call someone to unload the things, everyone has been hungry for a day, quickly tell Sister-in-law Qing, set up a pot to boil water and eat a full meal today, cook the rice porridge thicker, nourish the stomach first, and then eat it dry after two days."
"Brother Liu, it's great that you're okay!" In addition to his parents, the only people Xu Hui respected most in his life were Zeng Yan and Liu Ce, and when he saw that Liu Ce was safe and sound, he couldn't help crying with joy and his eyes were red.
Liu Ce stepped forward and comforted: "Okay, why are you crying?" What does a man look like when he stands up to the sky, crying and crying, and he is not afraid of being laughed at, so he doesn't hurry up and unload his things. ”
At Liu Ce's urging, Xu Hui wiped away his tears, tried to suppress his emotions, and ordered everyone to pull nearly 100 cars into the village together......
That night, the smell of rice and sweet potatoes filled the open field in the village, and a group of people talked and laughed, forming a circle around the bonfire, drinking sweet rice porridge and roasted sweet potatoes and stacks of pickled vegetables and radishes, and suddenly felt that life was so comfortable. An injured homeless man recounted today's battle in high spirits, and when he talked about the highlights, there were bursts of cheers around him. Of course, not everywhere is so festive, the families of those who died in the battle were very sad to learn that their men died on the battlefield, and they were only slightly calmed down under the comfort of Liu Ce and everyone.
Looking at everyone on the field, Qin Mo and Ye Bin each held a bowl of porridge in their hands, speechless for a long time.
"I didn't expect that this little brother Liu Ce could really snatch the grain from the thieves, and he could wipe out the thieves at such a small cost, it's really unexpected, Brother Qin, you know how to do the army, can I have such a record against the thieves in Da Zhou?" When Liu Ce set out in the morning, Ye Bin was not optimistic about this battle, but he didn't want Liu Ce to actually win, and there were only twelve casualties, so he became more and more curious about Liu Ce.
"My Great Zhou soldiers against the thieves, with less to win more is not a few, but only with more than 100 poorly trained, poorly equipped homeless people against 800 wolf-like thieves to achieve this kind of record, unheard of, if it weren't for what I saw with my own eyes today, I, Qin Mo, would definitely not believe it, even if the more than 100 homeless people are thunder soldiers, they may not be able to win." Qin Mo sighed, what he saw today was much beyond his expectations.
"I don't know what other plans Liu Ce's little brother has, why don't we help him achieve a career in this troubled world? Look at ......" Ye Bin's voice suddenly became soft, and he asked Qin Mo tentatively.
Qin Mo pondered for a long time, but still shook his head, and said: "Let's take a look again, although it is now an eventful season, the power controlled by the scholar clan is still unbreakable, and without the courage and courage to suppress the ravines, it is impossible to shake this solidified class at all." ”
"Brother Qin, don't forget, you and I are both from the scholar clan." Ye Bin said with a playful smile.
Qin Mo smiled when he heard this: "From the moment Qin Kun expelled me from the Shimen, I and the Shi clan have completely drawn a clear line, and now I am a common man, what does the honor and disgrace of the Shi clan have to do with me." After speaking, he drank all the thick porridge in the bowl, and then picked up a piece of bacon from a sea bowl and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, "Brother Ye, don't you taste this meat?" Brother Liu, but I have prepared an extra ...... for you."
…………
"Up! Above! Above! Hard! Ha! At a table in the middle of the field, two men grabbed Feng Chounian's left and right wrists with both hands, and tried to break him with all their strength, but Feng Chounian did not move at all, and the surrounding onlookers kept cheering up the two men, but seeing Feng Chounian's hands bent hard, the two men were easily broken down by Feng Chounian.
"Alas~" There was a sigh around him, and he snorted coldly with disdain, and said, "Who else!" As soon as the words fell, two more men were pushed out at the instigation of everyone......
"What's the matter, are you convinced?" On the other side of the scene, a group of craftsmen sat around a certain technical link to have a heated discussion, these people are eating by craftsmanship, although in the eyes of the Great Zhou magnates is an extremely lowly industry, but in the same industry that is all arrogant, it is difficult to escape, the food is not full, naturally there is no time and time to communicate together, now everyone is finally a little stable, so they simply get together to compare knowledge and craftsmanship.
The old man who had just joined Wanjiazhuang drew a prototype of a farm tool with a branch on the ground, explained some relevant knowledge, and attracted the amazement of several craftsmen around him, and the old man was satisfied. Feng Ying on the side looked disdainful, picking and picking out a bunch of shortcomings, and those who supported Feng Ying also nodded yes.
"Don't be unconvinced." Gao Laohan erased the prototype diagram on the ground with his hand, "Open the furnace in a few days, my old man will let you open your eyes, I know that I can't compare with you when it comes to killing the enemy, but I will make you lose convincingly when it comes to building weapons." ”
"You just blow it, I don't know how ashamed I am when I am old, don't think that I will really take myself seriously by renovating a few broken cars today......" Feng Ying's eyes were round, his face was full of disbesieving, and he decided to compare with him after opening the furnace to make ironware.
"Brother Liu, what should we do in the future?" On the Zhuang wall, Xu Hui and Liu Ce sat aside, looking at the jubilant crowd below, Xu Hui couldn't help asking.
Liu Ce was stunned and said, "Xiaohui, look at them." He pointed to the crowd below, "What do you think is the difference between them and before?" ”
Xu Hui looked at it for a while, shook his head, and said slowly: "It seems to be much happier than before, after all, there is something to eat." ”
Liu Ce closed his eyes, and then said: "Yes, the people are very simple, as long as they have enough to eat, new clothes, and a nest of their own, they are very satisfied, how simple it is...... But why is it so hard to do something so simple? ”
Xu Hui scratched his head when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer.
"In order to have enough to eat, many family members were forced to be displaced, caught in the turmoil of war, in order to have enough food, many people sold their children and daughters just to make a living, in order to have enough food, groveling like a dog, and let others slaughter ......" Liu Ce leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and counted a series of cruel words, and then opened his eyes, "Of course, there are also for the sake of a full mouth, for the family members and children to no longer starve, can live in this war, do not hesitate to stand up, and challenge this unfair fate!" ”
Suddenly, Liu Ce stood up, looked at the floating crowd below, and looked firmly: "What we have to do is to give them dignity!" Live with dignity! Die with dignity! ”
Xu Hui on the side suddenly felt his blood boiling, and he couldn't calm down for a long time......
…………
As soon as the next day dawned, Liu Ce took more than 400 people to the thief camp to take over Yang Kaishan's transportation of materials, Xu Hui was also among them, and the remaining few veterans and displaced people who had experienced the war were left in the village to maintain law and order. Feng Ying and Gao Laohan took a group of people to an abandoned mine five or six miles away, where there was a lot of coal scattered all over the place and no one cared about it......
"What's wrong with you? Encounter a rogue bandit attacking the village? "As soon as I arrived at the thief camp, I saw that Yang Kaishan and the others were covered in mud and dusty.
"No, didn't you say you wanted us to clean up the body? We worked all night and dug several pits to dispose of the bodies. Yang Youhuai stinked all over his body, and spit out a mouthful of sand and mud in his mouth, and he suddenly felt that this job was really not very easy to do.
"You can all see it at night?" Liu Ce knew that only a few of these people, such as Yang Kaishan and Yang Youhuai, did not have night blindness, and the difficulty of starting at night could be imagined, and he suddenly felt a little guilty.
Yang Kaishan laughed: "Where, you can still see clearly by lighting a few torches, how about it, Brother Liu, there's nothing going on in the village, right?"
Liu Ce smiled and said: "Brother Yang relax, it's too late for everyone to eat and be happy, what can happen, okay, everyone is working hard, when you finish loading the supplies, you will go back to the village first to take a good bath, I have already told Sister-in-law Qing to boil ......hot water."
"Okay, let's go back first, by the way, I still turned out two jars of wine in the thief camp, go back and have a good time with the madman haha!"
After a while, after packing up the supplies, Liu Ce left only Xu Hui and dozens of homeless people, looking at Yang Kaishan and Yang Youhuai slowly leaving with the homeless people who were carrying the baggage......
For three consecutive days, the entire camp was dismantled under the uninterrupted transportation of the homeless people in the village, along with the guardrail that could be used to use the walled gate, and looked at the empty thief village, Liu Ce stepped on the fast horse and accompanied Qin Mo Yebin with the last team of homeless people to escort the baggage away......
That night, the village was a lively scene again, because after two or three days of porridge and rice conditioning, everyone's stomach has basically recovered, began to eat dry food such as rice, flour, bread, steamed buns, etc., eating these white rice, dough cakes that can not be eaten a few times at home on weekdays, many homeless people can't help but shed tears. Qin Mo couldn't help but sigh when he looked at everyone, the suffering of the people, if he didn't contact it, he really didn't know......
That night, after Liu Ce returned to the room, Qin Mo Yebin called Xu Hui, Feng Chounian, Chen Qing and several other veterans together with some homeless people in the manor who had participated in the battle, as if they were discussing something......
At dawn on the second day, Liu Ce got up and put the newly seized iron armor from Hu Kui on his body, and after the repair of Gao Laohan and Feng Ying, the iron armor weighing more than 20 catties has been basically restored. As soon as he walked out of the door with a gun, he saw a dense group of people looking at him in front of him, which startled Liu Ce.
Before Liu Ce could speak, he saw everyone kneeling down in unison.
"Benefactor!" A woman bowed her head and said, "Thanks to the rescue of the benefactor, more than 1,000 people in our village can have enough to eat, please continue to lead us to live!" We are grateful for the great kindness of our benefactors! ”
"The benefactor did not give up, rescued the concubine from the thieves, and arranged a residence for me to wait for shelter, the little woman had nothing to reciprocate, and was willing to be a cow and a horse to follow the benefactor! Sisters! A woman who escaped from the mouth of the thief and tiger had moist eyes, bowed her head, and dozens of women around her also called on her benefactor to bow down.
A group of men also bowed their heads: "Brother Liu is not very old, but his ability is obvious to everyone, brothers!" What else to say! Follow Brother Liu to work hard! ”
"Brother Liu! From today onwards, you will be our leader, and we will listen to you what you say! ”
"That's right! Follow Brother Liu to eat! ”
“……”
In the face of everyone's scene, Liu Ce was a little at a loss, and didn't know what to say, in fact, Liu Ce also wanted to have an army in his heart, and he could survive in this troubled era, but now he really had the opportunity to put it in front of him but didn't know how to deal with it.
"Everyone, how can Liu Mou and He De accept such a big gift from everyone, hurry up, hurry up and speak......" Liu Ce hurriedly went to help the women and children who knelt down in front of him!
"Brother Liu Ce, you can agree." Ye Bin still wore a white shirt and hugged his fists at Liu Ce and said, "If you don't agree, I'm afraid it will chill everyone's hearts." ”
"Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what? Hurry up! You can rest assured! I'm a madman who absolutely listens to you, nothing to say! Seeing that Liu Ce did not agree, Feng Chou Nian roared angrily.
"Liu Ce, you just watched so many people kneeling?" Sun Cheng looked up at Liu Ce, who was hesitant.
"yes, do you want to see a few of us kneeling like this?" Yang Fan said.
"I Yang Kaishan don't have anything to say, you can take your brothers to do it." Yang Kaishan pleaded.
Han Feng looked at him with a pair of eyes, although he didn't say anything, his expression was extremely firm.
"Brother Liu." Seeing that Liu Ce refused to reply for a long time, Xu Hui's eyes were moist, and he said with red eyes, "Do you remember what you said that night?" You said that you want everyone to live with dignity and no longer be bullied, at the moment we can't count on others, only you can lead everyone to live and bring hope for life, so don't shirk anymore! ”
Looking at the people in front of him who had such high hopes for himself, Liu Ce only felt that the responsibility on his shoulders was heavier.
Qin Mo slowly walked to Liu Ce's side and whispered, "Brother Liu Ce, don't refuse. ”
Seeing Qin Mo's eyes like a torch and aggressive, Liu Ce looked at Qin Mo's determined expression, swept the crowd again, sighed, made up his mind, and bowed down to the crowd.
"Good! Since I have received your love, I, Liu Ce, am ashamed to accept the position of the owner! I swear that as long as there is me, Liu Ce will ensure that everyone has a bite to eat in one day! But I'm also going to say ugly things in front! Since I am your head! If anyone doesn't listen to me, don't blame Liu for turning his face and being ruthless! Later, Mr. Qin and I will come up with a few rules, if anyone feels unbearable and unable to follow, then just leave, or directly drive me down, the owner of the village! But if you are willing to obey it! Then do my bidding! What do you say? ”
"We all listen to Lord Liu!" There was a shout from someone in the crowd, and finally there was a cheer, as if the homeless people had hope in their hands......
