Zeng Zhen cleaned up, straightened out the clouds, turned on the oil lamp, and went to boil water and grind.

Li Mao rubbed his cold hands and instructed: "I will come over often in the evening, you burn the charcoal fire more vigorously, so as not to delay things if you can't stretch out your hand for half a day." ”

Donggao Town lacked resources, the military and political personnel implemented a supply system, Zeng Zhen's rank was not high, the ration of charcoal was very small, and there was no money to buy it from the black market, so he could only do this for a long cold night.

Li Mao often stayed up all night, but he usually went to the school instead of the study, and he was helping Zeng Zhen by saying this.

Zeng really knew this, she hummed, did not refuse Li Mao's kindness, in Li Mao's memory, this seems to be the first time.

Zeng Zhen put the soaked wolf hair and inkstone, and made tea, and went to his own place in the outer room to sit down, Li Mao's study adopts the popular suite layout in later generations, and the book history sits at the door of the outer room, which can not only block uninvited guests, but also facilitate the owner of the inner room to call at any time.

Zeng Zhen, Mao Dayou, and Cai Youcai were divided into three shifts to ensure that there were people in the seats of Shushi at all times.

Li Mao reviewed a few urgent documents, sleepiness came for a while, so he put down the pen and walked out, Zeng Zhen put down the pen and stood up to get a big coat for him, and served him to put it on, Li Mao held her cold little hand, and admonished: "It's cold at night, add a few more pieces of charcoal." Zeng Zhen pulled out his hand and answered officially.

Li Mao wanted to say something, but when he saw her businesslike eyebrows, he was in no mood for a while.

Passing through a cold alley is his own courtyard, under the eaves of his house, Lan'er is dressed in a purple cloak and slim, seeing her cold eyebrows, Li Mao grinned, stepped forward, stood close to her face, and kissed her forehead.

Lan'er didn't appreciate it, and pushed him viciously, Li Mao pretended to shake it, borrowed the power of rebound, grabbed Lan'er's thin waist, and pushed it into the house, Lan'er shook her shoulders stubbornly, Li Mao was shocked in his heart, and coaxed: "I'm thinking nonsense again, I'll go to the study to approve two urgent items, and I'll use them tomorrow morning, you know that I can't get up as soon as I hold you." ”

Lan Erhuo raised her head, stared at Li Mao's eyes, and said sarcastically: "Yes, you can still sleep with me, don't let my ribs hurt your lungs, let's hug your little Zhenzhen, how soft your breasts and fat buttocks are." Read the full text of the latest chapter.

Li Maohu lowered his face and shouted: "Nonsense. Immediately put on a smile again: "Don't joke about this kind of thing in the future, we are innocent, and it's not good to say that we have a bad reputation." ”

Lan'er exclaimed in surprise: "Yo, it's good for your reputation, you go out and inquire and hear what is being said about you outside." I said little brother, just take it if you want to, look at how strong this little body is, and you can carry it every night, it's okay, I'm not jealous, really, I don't lie to you. Liaodong is a good place for everything.,It's just that there are too few places to play.,It's boring to be alone in an empty yard.,I think it's fun to find someone to bully and play.。 ”

Li Mao pretended to ponder: "Your opinion is very good, I will consider it seriously." ”

Lan'er's little fist hit her like a raindrop, Li Mao stopped her waist and picked her up, wanting to carry her on his shoulder, but Lan'er's legs were clamped and stuck on his waist, and his fists still hit him.

Li Mao had no choice but to make a big move, grabbed her feet and neck with both hands, and spun her as a human chain ball, Lan'er immediately collapsed and screamed.

Shi Kong and several guards kicked open the door and broke in, but saw that Lan'er's legs were stuck on Li Mao's waist, her arms were holding his neck, and she was "talking" with him affectionately.

Li Mao said to Lan'er in annoyance: "It's a shame, go back quickly." ”

Lan'er's face was crimson because of fright and shyness, she clenched Li Mao's neck, and shouted coquettishly: "No, not death, death will die with you." ”

Li Mao stiffened his face and scolded: "What a death in the middle of the night, how unlucky." Do you want to die, do you really want to die, okay, I'll show you what it means to live without dying. ”

Early in the morning of the second day, Qin Mo rubbed his eyes and yawned and asked Shi Kong: "What kind of fame did Lao Mao did last night, his mother-in-law was like killing pigs, and he didn't let people sleep, what's wrong with this door?"

Ishiku explained solemnly, "I did a drill last night to see how much time it would take to get from the guard's room to the inside. Later I found out that the door was really in the way, so it was like that. ”

Qin Mo patted Shi Kong and praised: "It's hard to believe that you can make the lie so full, but I suggest that you still have to remind Lao Mao when you are free: It's really good to take it easy at night and make such a big move, that's not the ability, it's a disturbance to the people." ”

As soon as Qin Mo finished speaking, the door opened, and Li Mao took over and said: "If you talk about disturbing the people, the first one to disturb the people is Shi Kong, he didn't speak, what are you talking about here?"

Qin Mo said: "The full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry, there are still thousands of people in this town who are fighting singles, you be careful that the singles gather to rebel against you." ”

Li Mao smiled and said with a haha: "If this matter is not an example, I will care." ”

Qin Mo was unforgiving: "It's not just you, the one in the house is also proud, you want to shout with pleasure, I can understand this, but you can be quiet, and you won't delay your errands with something in your mouth, are you embarrassed to shout and scream with your throat straight, bullying people, isn't it." ”

Before the words fell, a basin of foot-washing water was splashed over, thanks to Qin Mo's eyes jumping early, otherwise he would have been drenched into a soup chicken.

"Alas, you look a little bit by splashing water, there's a big living person standing here." Qin Mo said with palpitations.

"My yard, I can splash it as much as I want, can Your Excellency take care of it?"

Lan'er threw the wooden basin in her hand to the ground, stood cross-legged, and stared at Qin Mo with a cold gaze.

Qin Mo laughed awkwardly and said to Li Mao: "When the new private camp is new, don't forget, I have to leave first." He greeted Lan'er flatteringly: "Little sister-in-law, I'm leaving, stay, stay, don't work far away, haha." ”

The new private building is located south of the wharf and occupies the site of the riverside farm.

Slaves given by the Murowei people were gathered here for observation and treatment, and only after they were confirmed to be physically and mentally harmless were they liberated.

In the new camp, there are men's camps for men and women's camps for women.

Because there are many Khitans in the women's camp, in order to take the initiative in the negotiations with the Diera, it has been disbanded in advance, and 173 young women with physical and mental health have all been assigned to the soldiers of the Anton Army as wives, and the husband and wife have met, held a wedding, and spent their honeymoon, and then all the female newlyweds still return to the women's camp, gather together, and be taught etiquette and customs, language and writing, knitting women's workers, washing, dyeing and cooking by special teachers, and help them adapt to the new life as soon as possible.

Some of the male subordinates are Han Chinese, most of them are Murowei people, and there are a few people from the Yan and Silla people. Out of precaution, the Murwei people did not keep the Khitans as slaves this time, but skinned and tortured them all young and middle-aged.

The medical bureau thoroughly examined their bodies, picked out the infected people, stayed in the camp to continue to observe and treat, and the rest were released as a whole, before release, all of them were shaved and thoroughly disinfected with medicinal powder, and then they were scrubbed one by one.

Many of them do not have the habit of bathing on time, and their skin is covered in layers of dirt, forming a thick layer of hard scabs, which can only be washed with water, but only soaked in warm water to slowly soften the shackles that bind their bodies.

After being thoroughly cleansed and transformed, these slaves were like newborn babies, they looked at each other, looking at their strange companions, strange themselves.

Li Mao stood on the high platform and looked at them, and sighed in his heart that barbarism, ignorance and poverty had turned them from humans into beasts, but he wanted to use the light of civilization to turn them back into human beings.

But Li Mao's good mood didn't last long, and was interrupted by a big chaos in the audience, and it turned out to be a liberated slave who took advantage of the unpreparedness to push down the guards and run away.

His escape made the guards nervous, and for a moment the saber rattled and the newly freed slaves fell back into terror.

"What's the matter," Li Mao asked the guard sharply.

"Ran away with a man."

"I know why I ran one"

The guards couldn't speak, Li Mao's brows furrowed, it seems that it is not an easy task to liberate slaves, it is very simple to lift their physical and identity shackles, but it is not an overnight effort to liberate their hearts and minds.

"Let them put down their knives and guns, they are all their own people, don't be so angry."

Li Mao said to the swords-rattling guards in a gentle tone, the guards are calm, and the slaves are at peace.

Qin Mo ran over panting, with a smile on his face.

"What's going on"

"Haha, misunderstanding, a misunderstanding, this dog slave, I think, I think we washed him and sacrificed him to the gods, haha, it's ridiculous."

"Ridiculous, I think you're ridiculous. Dog slave hum. ”

Li Mao glared at Qin Mo viciously, and strode towards the escaped who had been escorted.

Qin Mo slapped himself in annoyance, restrained his smile, and followed.

Li Mao lifted the rope from the runaway with his own hands, held him on the shoulder, and said to the sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy:

"The god of my Tang Dynasty is a god of mercy, he looks down on all living beings with a compassionate eye, if you are sincere and good, he will use his magic power to bless you, and if you are evil, he will stay away from you, let you be in the company of ghosts and ghosts, and fall into the miserable quagmire and cannot extricate yourself. It is precisely because of his fairness and selflessness that my Datang God is loved by the people, which is different from the god you used to worship, he never uses violence to force you to believe in him, he only uses his compassion to influence you and guide you to goodness. He loves all beings and is equal and will not allow your life to be sacrificed in his honor, which he sees as foolishness and blasphemy, and if we do that, he will only punish us with calamity. ”

Li Mao's words were translated through the translation, and the slave understood it, but he didn't believe it.
