Chapter 148: The Heart That Collapses Before Encountering a Thief

Saying "there are people in front" is almost the meaning of "there are thieves", which is also expected, Zhu Da lowered his voice and asked: "How many people, how is the equipment?" ”

"At least forty people, without horses and not waiting for us, gathered on the side of the road to make a fire." Zhou Qingyun replied.

When discussing this, the expressions of the two people were very normal, they were not worried or afraid, and the reason why they spoke in a low voice was because they were worried about causing panic in the team.

After hearing Zhou Qingyun's description, Zhu Da nodded, Yuan Biao had taught the two of them how to observe the formation, and it would be very accurate to observe and estimate the number of each other.

"Did the man on horseback deliver a letter to them?"

"Probably not, I rushed to the front, I saw him twice from afar, he should have seen me, every time he could see it, he would slow down, I was afraid that something was wrong."

"It's all out, let's move forward!"

After a few simple words of answer between the two people, they continued to move forward, this time Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not separate one person to investigate, they all stayed in the team, these news did not tell Li He, Li He only looked back, did not come over to inquire, just urged the team to move forward.

After walking a little further, the sunset reflected the sky, although the sky was very bright, but everyone knew that it was going to be dark, and several handlebars were already shouting and asking if they should find a place to camp.

At this moment, most of the people in the team could see that somewhere on the side of the road, someone suddenly stood up and ran away into the distance, the so-called "crop fields" are those fields that have not been destroyed, but there are not many crops that can be harvested, but it is still very convenient to use for Tibetans.

"Two young masters, I'm afraid this is a thief!" The handlebar in front of him hurriedly shouted.

The four big cars walked in a line on the official road, and the experience of the first handlebar was very rich, so walking in front, the whole team was actually dispatched and controlled by this handlebar.

Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn't move, and Zhou Qingyun said in a muffled voice: "Calculating the distance, it's the dozens of people I saw." ”

Li He turned his head to look at the front, and Zhu Da shouted: "Just put down in place, and form a circle according to the method I taught you, everyone don't worry, keep your lives safe." ”

After he finished speaking, some nervous and anxious teams did not react for a while, but Li He hurriedly urged, and then they began to get busy.

"Looking at the man on horseback with a knife, why don't you catch up?"

"I'm afraid it's a good thing, wait a minute, they will run first on horseback, and we'll be finished."

There were already people in the team who were talking like this, although the voice was not loud, but they did not shy away from Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, Li He's face was very ugly, and he wanted to step forward to scold, Zhu Da smiled and waved his hand to signal that it was not necessary, he had a smile on his face, so relaxed and freehand, this kind of attitude made the team calm down a lot.

Although there have been more than a dozen rehearsals on the road, but when the real thing comes to an end, they are still in a hurry, the handlebar style is slightly better, and the twenty young laborers are really ugly, and there are even those who fall down with their own feet mixed with garlic, and everyone can't help but look in the direction where people are hiding on the side of the road when they are busy.

Finally, the big car was put into a frame, and everyone went in, with the big car and the pile of goods as a cover, barely in a closed space, and everyone's mind was somewhat settled.

But at this time, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were still on the horse, and they were all looking at them with blank eyes, could it be that these two young masters were going to ride away on horseback?

"You're wandering around with two horses, I'm here to crush the team!" Zhu Da said with a smile, turned over and dismounted directly, took a bow, and dozens of arrows were placed on the side of the cart, and a Pu knife and a Yanling knife were also removed.

Zhou Qingyun didn't argue with Zhu Da about anything, just nodded there, hung the reins of Zhu Da's mount on his horse, and beat the horse into the distance, while Zhu Da turned over and got into the box surrounded by the cart.

Seeing Zhu Da come in with everyone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a handlebar-style muffled voice and asked, "Did that old man go to ventilate and report the news?" ”

Zhu Da didn't answer this question, but shouted there and said: "It's not necessarily that the thief is coming, if the thief is coming, you just have to use the wooden gun in your hand to poke it out, you see how long the wooden gun in your hand is, the thief can't reach you, everyone think about it carefully, where does the thief get such a long pole?" ”

The hired workers and the handlebar type thought about it, and immediately laughed, there are many mountains on the ground of Datong, and the poles used to make wooden guns are taken from the trees on the mountains, and then go to the towns to sell, this whole process requires manpower and financial resources, ordinary people who will use such a pole, except for the households living on the side of the mountain, how can it be easy to obtain, these four horses are flat, the Mongolian horse team crosses the border and is completely destroyed, the thieves are afraid that there is nowhere to find such a long pole, think about the ins and outs of this, the hired workers and handlebars with wooden guns suddenly have confidence.

"It's your blessing to flee into the city, you don't know what the outside is like, the Tartars have trampled everything badly, there is nothing to eat in the city that has not fled to the city, there are people who eat human flesh, if you fall into the hands of thieves, I am afraid that you will be cut off and eaten piece by piece, you can't die for a while, watching your own meat being cooked, it is really miserable!" Zhu Da spoke eloquently.

The entry of the Mongolian horse team and the bloodbath of the official army did cause great difficulties, but the situation did not reach such an extreme point, because the Mongols and the official army did not do so thoroughly, if they really wanted to survive, relying on the ruins to clean up the crops that were not destroyed, and even engaged in some fishing and hunting side jobs, they would not starve to death, and the days would be extremely difficult, but they could still hold on, but the people who entered the city would be in trouble, if there were no relatives and friends to defect, and there was no porridge factory in the city to provide relief, then they would really starve to death.

Although the outside has been destroyed, the number of survivors has also become fewer, and the pressure of survival is not so harsh after such a distribution.

When Zhu Da first experienced this, he felt like hell, but now he calmed down and thought back that compared to the disasters remembered by his parents, father-in-law, master, and the elders of the villagers, some of them were experienced by themselves, and some of them were experienced by their elders, earthquakes, droughts, and invasions of the Mongol army, and everyone was very plain when they narrated these disasters, but Zhu Da listened to them with horror, that was hell.

Of course, Zhu Da is not ready to tell the truth to the employees, but his vivid description has frightened people, this is the ability brought about by the information explosion in the past 20 years, and he can tell the things he has never seen vividly, the faces of the employees turned pale, and some people couldn't help but vomit out, and were scolded by the people around them, and they hurriedly buried the soil.

"We have to fight with them, we would rather eat their flesh than be eaten, and fight with them." Li He shouted and cheered, and the hired workers all subconsciously clenched the wooden guns in their hands.

But there are also a few people who look left and right, anyone can see that their hearts are uncertain, and everyone can guess what they are going to do, and nine times out of ten they want to run away.

"The thieves outside have eaten human flesh, do you still run there, run out and be eaten?" Li He yelled loudly.

This roar broke the confidence of several of the hired men, and one of them threw the wooden gun to the ground, crouched on the ground and cried: "How good it is to stay in the city, how can such a thing happen." ”

Originally, people's hearts were fluctuating, some people were so discouraged, and other people's minds were unstable, you look at me, I look at you, Li He's face turned black and he had already grabbed the steel knife in his hand, Zhu Da was indifferent, the situation in front of him was expected, these ordinary people had not experienced life and death, and now it is not bad that they have not all collapsed, the reason why they stopped so early is also to stabilize everyone's minds, and solve problems when encountered, in such a matter of tongues, Zhou Qingyun is not good at it, so he can only come.

Before Zhu Da could speak, a tall and thin young man in the team scolded and said, "In the city, starve to death in the city?" Those people themselves don't have enough to eat, who pities us, it's not that everyone hasn't gone outside to find a job these days, who cares about us, we're not girls, we haven't even sold *** from the city to starve to death, I'm willing to eat enough to have a good time! ”

This person also spoke reasonably, the atmosphere of the commotion just now became a lot quieter, Zhu Da recognized the person who spoke, it was Zhang Jinbei from his own family, and he mixed Zhang Jinbei in it since he recruited hired workers, they were all helpless refugees from outside the city, and they were locals, so he couldn't see anything unusual at all.

Saying such things at this time is not lying nonsense, of course many people listened to it, they were willing to be hired laborers, and they were also willing to go out of the city at that time, and they made some preparations in their hearts, but the possible impact of the bandits' attack just now was too great, so that everyone couldn't stabilize their minds, and now they have been dragged back a little.

Zhu Da smiled, raised his hand and said: "You are afraid of a bird, Lao Tzu is here to accompany you, my life is worth much more than yours, I will stay, why are you panicking?" ”

The words are not good, but they are the truth, and they also make the employees more stable, and even the handlebar style is a helper, "The master is not afraid of a net worth like this, what are you afraid of this poor life." ”

"I'll tell you, this kind of business will be done often in the future, as long as you are willing to follow me Zhu Da, then you will be full of food and clothing, and you will be able to build a house and marry a daughter-in-law after eating meat and drinking wine, if you don't do it with me, you will go back to work hard, or go to ask for food and starve to death as a flower child!"

"The little one is willing to follow the master, and if you want to die, you have to be happy, don't starve to death in the corner of the street!" Zhang Jinbei was the first to come out to respond, someone took the lead, and the emotions of others were also much higher.

Zhu Da, who was standing on the big cart of goods, nodded with a smile and said in a loud voice: "I, Zhu Da, must be worthy of everyone, wait for the fragrant food and spicy drink!" ”

"The thief is coming, the thief is coming!" There were people staring outside, and in the sunset, dozens of people could be seen running towards them.

"Mom, I'm quitting!" Almost at the same time, a hired man dropped his wooden gun, got out from under the cart, and fled.
