Chapter 26: Crowded

From time to time, a cold wind howls over, it's almost October, and in the solar calendar of the next generation, it's almost November. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The temperature dropped repeatedly, and there seemed to be a biting chill in the early morning of the night.

A group of people hurried along the country road, and when the troubled times came, the roads that were once populated were all barren, and the grass was barren, and everywhere was the color of dry and scorched yellow.

There seem to be a lot of villages around, but in addition to silence or silence, every time you pass a Zhuangzi, you can always find some hungry people on the road behind the village.

In the past, when he saw these hideously shaped dried corpses, Yang He would still bypass them, but now he went directly to them, because his senses were numb.

At this time, Yang He was riding on a horse, and he changed into a set of clothes, wearing a royal blue soft-footed hood on his head, a purple cocoon silk armor, a dark red cloak, and a mink fur around the collar, which was warm and luxurious.

The Yang family was originally a big family in Luyi, and even if Yang He fled at that time and brought some soft clothes, they were all exquisite.

There were also a lot of things hanging on his saddle, and in front of him was a saber and a round shield, the material was slightly better than the shields used by the refugees, but Minister Yang found a desk from an abandoned house, red sandalwood wood.

He took it apart and slowly cut it into a round shield, and because there was enough wood, he also made a pair for himself.

In fact, it is best to use a leather shield on a horse, but the conditions are insufficient, so Yang He has to take a wooden round shield.

There was also a pair of double sticks hanging on the right front of his saddle, and the bow and pot quiver were hanging diagonally, but it was the five-force bow that Yang He used as a horse bow, and his upper force bow and horse chopping knife were still pinned to his waist.

At the back of the saddle hung a parcel, in which, in addition to clothing, were some gold and silver treasures, both their own and those seized during these times.

It turned out that after Yang He took in the refugees, although the bowls, chopsticks, clay pots and the like were handed over to Zhao Zhongju and asked them to carry them, the soft clothes were still carried by Minister Yang, and they were hung on the saddle at this time, making it easier for Minister Yang.

Finally, there was a basket on each side of the back of the saddle, which contained the younger siblings Yang Qian and Yang Ying.

There are small stools in the back basket, which can stand or sit, and there is a wooden cover on the side of the back basket, which can prevent arrows after being covered, and there are air holes on the side of the back basket, and the wooden cover can be ventilated.

The younger brother Yang Qian has been sitting quietly, while the younger sister Ying'er is standing in the back basket.

She shouted happily from time to time, and sang a little song to Yang He, apparently riding the horse again after a long time.

Yang He listened with a smile, feeling the convenience of having a horse.

He also rode a horse in later generations, but it was boring after a few rides.

Bumpy and uncomfortable, the horse is disobedient, telling it to go east to west, especially running too slowly, trotting is similar to walking, no wonder the herdsmen on the grassland themselves drive motorcycles and do not want to ride horses, in the future generations are about to be eliminated species.

But in this era, horses are the most convenient means of transportation, there is a horse more precious than the BMW of later generations, this body has practiced equestrianism since childhood, the bow horse is skillful, he has completely inherited the ability of this body, and there is no problem with riding a horse.

It's just that it's not easy to raise horses, the beans left by the horse thief are only more than 20 catties, and they are more than 10 liters, and the beans that the horse eats in a day will be 3 liters.

This is very hard, and if you don't eat soy feed, the horse will eat at least 30 catties of hay a day, which is twice as much as before, and it is still easy to lose fat.

If a person has no oil, water, and meat, even if he eats a lot of food, he is easy to lose his face and thin muscles, and his nutrition is insufficient.

In the end, Yang He ordered Han Guan'er to cook together, and the two waited for a horse, and let the baggage team pick grass, which was better.

Yang He looked back, and his scholar Minister Yang was walking on the side of the horse with a copper stick, he was wearing the cloak and cloak that had been captured from a horse thief wearing a blue folded scarf, wearing a red hat military hat, a waist knife pinned to his left waist, a double plug pinned to his right waist, and a round shield on his back, which was quite heroic.

This loyal scholar liked this cloak, and Yang He naturally rewarded him.

Watching him tease Ying'er as he walked drew a giggle from time to time for his sister to chuckle.

Behind Minister Yang was Han Guan'er, who was wearing a red tasseled felt hat, carrying a three-eyed gun and a tripod on his shoulders, and also carrying a round shield behind him, with a gentle smile floating on his indifferent face.

Seeing Ying'er reminded him of his dead sister, who was also so cute.

Beside Han Guan'er walked Luo Xianjue, with a waist knife pinned to his waist and a round shield behind his back.

After the meritorious deeds were rewarded, Han Guan'er was rewarded with a red tasseled felt hat, and Luo Xianjue was rewarded with a waist knife, which was regarded as Han Guan'er's auxiliary.

Han Guan'er's three-eyed gun belongs to the important combat force in the army, especially the power of close combat, if the two cooperate with each other, one ignition, the other aims, and the fight is more accurate and ruthless, just like when encountering wolves that day.

So after Han Daxia had a bow and arrow, Yang He asked who had used a firearm in the army, and Luo Xianjue said that he had used a three-eyed gun, although it was a three-eyed gun like a civilian firework, it was not the same thing as a military three-eyed gun, but it was also considered to have used a firearm, and Yang He assigned him to a group with Han Guan'er.

Luo Xianjue was quite excited after being rewarded with a waist knife, and felt that he was valued.

His mission was to light the fire for Han Guan'er in wartime, and to provide cover and protection.

Another cloak and red tasseled felt hat Yang He Award was given to Han Daxia, who is now in charge of sentinels, and with a shield, bow and arrow, and waist knife, his sentinel ability has been greatly enhanced.

At this time, he walked a hundred paces ahead, far away to clear the way for the team.

Hearing Ying'er's laughter, many people in the army had smiles on their faces, Ying'er had an innocent temperament, in fact, even if there was no Yang He's identity, everyone in the army liked her very much.

Yang He glanced at the team, his expression darkened slightly, it was not easy to grow the team in troubled times.

Compared with some time ago, the number of his team was a little less, and there were originally seventy people in the army after taking in the newcomers, but the number of dead in the battle finally reached nine, plus Wu Shengzuo was killed that day, and now there are only sixty people left in the team.

There are 17 young and strong men left, including Yang He and Minister Yang.

However, there were twenty-one young and strong women, seventeen children and children, and five old and weak people like Yan Dezheng.

Some of these people were wounded, but their complexion was not bad, in the days when the village was abandoned, all the wolf meat was eaten, and some horse meat was eaten, and with sufficient meat supplementation, the wounded man's arrow wound and knife wound recovered quickly, and even the young man with the arrow in the left eye survived.

There is meat to eat every day, and after bloody battles, everyone's spirit and spirit have undergone great changes, especially those who are young and strong, and their combat effectiveness is no longer the same.

Glancing at Zhao Zhongju and the others again, Yang He sighed that the women at this time were worthy of being a model of hardship and hard work.

There were twenty-one young and strong women, Sun Zhaodi's group even had five of them, and Zhao Zhongju's men had fifteen people.

At this time, Zhao Zhongju and the others carried a heavy burden, horse meat, and other materials, and they were afraid that the weight of each person would reach 100 catties.

While at the pavilion canal, Yang He instructed Zhao Zhongju to dispose of the dead horses, and they used the captured salt bricks to cook them, so that the horse meat could be stored for a longer time.

However, the two horses, adding up to at least 1,000 catties of flesh and bones, were picked by sixteen people, and each person received a lot of portions, plus other materials, and each person also carried a shield that was not light.

But Zhao Zhongju and the others did not complain, looking at the meat in the burden, their eyes were full of satisfaction.

They are only afraid that there will be no food in the army, and they don't mind suffering a little bit and being tired.

……

Another gust of cold wind howled, Yang He tightened his cloak, the weather was getting colder and colder, but fortunately, Wu Zhong's clothes were enough, although many of them were not good-looking.

After a ruined village, there is still artemisia grass in the sky, is the human race going extinct? A bitter sadness surged from Yang He's heart.

He rode on his horse and looked at it, and suddenly his expression froze, that is?

Minister Yang beside him sighed, as well as Qi Youxin and Yan Dezheng, they also paused, they looked at each other for a while, Qi Youxin said in a trembling voice: "Xianggong...... There are people, it is really good people people Zhuangzi ......"

At this time, Han Daxia also rushed back, and he said excitedly: "Xianggong, do you see it?" ”

Yang He nodded again and again, indeed, he saw that there was a big Zhuangzi over there, with curling smoke, not Du Wei's weird fireworks, but normal and prosperous fireworks in the world.

Yang He felt that his breathing was a little short, and later generations were accustomed to seeing the flow of people in cities and towns, a stable life, and a peaceful scene, which was so rare in this troubled era.

The refugees were also excited, and the crowds were crowded.

"Go that way." Yang He ordered.

The crowd strode over there, and walked into the abandoned wheat field next to them in order to cut corners.

There are layers of salt purlins everywhere, and there seem to be few states and counties along the Yellow River that do not have saline-alkali land, whether it is drought or poor drainage, the salt in the soil is easy to accumulate, and finally form saline-alkali land.

But the farther he went, the more water conservancy ditches were built, and finally Yang He saw a continuous field, ridges and ridges, which were planted with winter wheat, and the fields were surrounded by ponds, and mulberry and elm trees were planted on the edge of the ponds.

A polder stood in the distance, and judging by the scale, the polder wall was at least three or four miles long.

Yang He looked at it attentively, and seemed to hear the smell of chickens and dogs over there, and the laughter of children, that is where human beings can reproduce normally.
