Chapter 309: Nailed Up!
Li Laogen's family knelt on the ground and hurriedly kowtowed to Mao Chenglu, if it weren't for the general, he really couldn't live on his own.
The family was first led to the front to receive the porridge in line, and the thick rice porridge was topped with a golden dough cake, which looked appetizing.
Many people don't care about the heat when they receive the rice porridge, and pour the rice porridge directly into their mouths. Even if you are screaming when you are hot, you are reluctant to spit out.
Corn was a new grain bought from the people of the south, along with potatoes. Jang Doo has ordered Jangsang Island and Jeju Island to plant corn and potatoes with all their might, and out of trust in Jang Doo, Jangsang Island has planted corn whenever there is open space, and even the hillside is full of potatoes.
Jeju Island can only grow potatoes after the season, and the remaining corn after planting is used by Zhang Dou to relieve the Liao people. After this thing is ground into flour, it doesn't taste very good but is unusually hungry, and it is just right to use it to relieve the Liao people on Phi Island.
Li Laogen's family was arranged to rest in a vacant lot, and most of them here were Liao people with their families like them.
Magnolia opened her small mouth and gently took a bite of rice porridge. The thick rice porridge had a hint of saltiness, and Li Yulan's eyes narrowed suddenly.
Even when the family is in good times, there are not many opportunities to drink such rice porridge. She closed her eyes and tasted it carefully, chewed it a few times, and realized that there was something in the rice porridge.
Well! Fish, that's right. The fragrance of fish filled her taste buds, which was the best thing Li Yulan had ever eaten in her life.
Many years later, Li Yulan often mentioned this rice porridge in front of her grandchildren. Listening to her talk about the taste of rice porridge, the greedy grandchildren drooled!
After a few mouthfuls of rice porridge, she took another bite into the tortilla. Although the cake is thick and hard to swallow, it still tastes good.
After Li Yulan drank the rice porridge, she ate half a cake again, feeling so full! In recent years, when she has rarely eaten so much, she stretched out her arms and felt that the whole world was much brighter than before.
Li Laogen took the cake handed by his daughter and did not eat it, but carefully wrapped it in a cloth and put it in his arms.
On the way to escape, half a piece of bread like this is a life. Li Laogen was reluctant to eat the cake, he wanted to save it for his daughter to eat when she was hungry.
Sister-in-law Zhang also handed over half a piece of cake and said with a smile: "Eat!" We women don't eat as much as you, so eat more and have the strength to work! ”
This scene under the sun kept playing out in the open space, and the Liao people felt that life was so beautiful for the first time.
On the ship, Li Laogen's family was arranged to the tail building, where there was no boredom in the bottom cabin. Except for the rocking sea boat that made the family of three dizzy, everything was fine.
It was the first time they had seen such a huge ship, and they were dazzled by the dense saillocks on board.
Li Laogen felt that he had recovered a little, and began to help the sailors on the ship. He knew some carpentry work and was diligent, and soon became familiar with some sailors.
During the conversation, Li Laogen knew the destination of their trip ~ Jeju Island. While some will continue to the southern islands, others will remain on Jeju Island. The Liao people sent to the southern islands were given more land than those who stayed in Jeju.
A sailor who was nearly forty years old handed the wine gourd he had drunk to Li Laogen and said, "Brother! Take a bite! "Li Laogen is only forty-three years old this year, and the years have left too many marks on his face.
Li Laogen was not polite, took the wine gourd and poured a big sip. It took a long time to breathe a sigh of relief and shouted: "Good wine!" ”
The gourd is extremely spicy, and the chest is hot in the mouth. After exhaling a breath of hot air, it is fragrant on the lips and teeth, and it is indeed a first-class wine.
"Brother Wang, do you think it's better to stay on Jeju Island? It's better to go south to the island! Li Laogen and the sailor surnamed Wang took a few big sips, and only asked when they were a little familiar.
The sailor surnamed Wang looked left and right before whispering: "Brother listened to it, you will listen, you will be a disaster if you say it!" Cheju! ”
Hearing Li Laogen's ears in just two words, it was like a heavenly sound, and he finally knew how to choose.
The first thing they did when they arrived at Jeju Island was to be separated by men and women, and many Liao people objected to this. They didn't trust anyone at all, and these Liao people even joined a group to resist.
Just when the Liao people saw the people who maintained order retreat, they thought they had succeeded. A group of Japanese samurai wearing armor and wielding swords surrounded them.
The swords in their hands emitted a cold light, and their mouths spoke in a Japanese language that no one could understand. The Liao people were frightened, and they shouted in horror.
"Wolver! The Woko are coming! Run! ”
The Liao people who were surrounded had nowhere to run, and they were blocked in the middle like frightened quails. Just as the would-be would-be was about to surround him, a young man approached.
This man stretched out his hand to stop the would-be robbers and came to the Liao people. took out an iron horn and said to Liaomin: "My name is Li Kun, a native of Jeju Island!" The placement of everyone is the responsibility of Li. Letting everyone separate men and women is just to let you bathe and change your clothes first, don't have any other ideas! ”
Li Kun was saying this, and a voice in the crowd said, "Who knows what heart you are pressing?" ”
"That's it!"
"That's right!"
Hearing this voice, all the Liao people agreed, and Li Kun frowned.
He put away the smile on his face and said, "Since you guys don't cooperate! Then Captain Takano will reason with you! After speaking, he took a step back, and the daredevils armed with swords stepped forward in unison.
The voice resounded in the crowd, "Don't be afraid! They spent money to buy us back, so they were reluctant to kill us! Don't be afraid of them......"
The Liao people began to hesitate and took a separate bath. I'm afraid that the women will let the locals bully, and when they hear this voice agitation, they don't know what to do.
At this moment, the voice that agitated everyone let out a scream.
Li Laogen dragged a person out of the crowd, this person was thin and withered, although he was screaming, his two eyes were rolling back and forth. Most of the Liao people know this person, and they are idle on Phi Island on weekdays, stealing chickens and touching dogs. Many people did not expect that it would be such a person who encouraged everyone to fight against the Japanese invaders.
"Folks! The proprietor is good to us, you touch your conscience before you speak. Even if you can eat such a meal in a good year, where can you find such a host? Besides, men and women should take a bath separately, are you willing to take your wife and daughter to bathe together? Besides, so many women are together, are you afraid of any accidents? Li Laogen's words made the Liao people nod again and again.
When Takano saw that the troublemaker had been pulled out, he said to the samurai beside him, "Nail! ”
"Hey!" The samurai answered, dragged the thin man to the side of the cross, and nailed the man to it.
The miserable howl of the thin man suppressed all the Liao people, and even Li Laogen, who pulled him out, showed unbearable expression.
