Chapter 628: Nostalgia 28
When the stench of υ mixed with blood, sweat soaked in the stench of leather and metal, the hustle and bustle came to an end.
"It's finally stopped,"
Li Fugui, who was lying on the wall, looked at the figures that staggered away in the smoke.
In this weather, the other party who is already at the end of the crossbow, even if there is no one to pursue, I am afraid that he will not be able to go far.
The feeling of killing for the first time was like swallowing water, and it passed without much feeling, and before he knew it, he seemed to have several lives in his hands.
This is simply unimaginable in the past for Li Fugui, who has been ranked fifth since he was a child, who has been taught by his family to grow up, and who must be honest and good at swallowing his anger to survive.
After all, there is a difference between standing on the top of a wall and throwing rocks from a high point of view and fighting the enemy in the unsheltered wilderness.
I just remembered the faces of the women and children in the family again, but I was a little happy and a little relieved.
Who would have expected that just a little farther away from the transportation army, among them, these brave people who volunteered to be brave, would actually meet the real Hu Mazi on the road.
It's a pity that the other party's courage and stamina are seriously insufficient, that is, the scary people who lie about the fierce gods on the outside, but they are sparse when they really deal with it.
After the initial panic and panic, the veteran who led the team and shouted at him summoned up the courage to confront the enemy according to the conduct he had trained.
Only then did he realize that the enemy he had to face seemed to be even more unbearable and weak than himself.
This group of horses roaming the field on foot, only two horses that were not able to sprint at all, ragged like beggars, and skinny as wood, were not much better than the homeless people who had fled to them.
The weapons in hand are also extremely rudimentary.
The blade of the broken iron piece, the hand row like the lid of the broken pot, the tip of the spear that will bend off after a few pokes; And the herd bow that plucked the strings quickly and shot with a rattling sound, but obviously lacked strength and range, and they didn't even touch the oily skin at all.
On the contrary, they were equipped with light and heavy crossbows and crossbow machines in their team, and they fell to the ground in rows, and then the veteran took the lead in a reflexive short charge, and he stabbed and slashed a lot head-on, and fled.
Therefore, when a certain aura of mystery and respect is shattered one by one, there is not much psychological pressure when you struggle to resist or kill.
The only one who was injured during the period, and only one was frightened and turned around and threw his head to the ground, and the coward who buttocks at the enemy,
Li Fugui found that he was in a hurry, and he inadvertently hit an arrow, but it was just a rusty arrow, obviously not even the felt he was wrapped in.
Therefore, I have been hanging on my body without feeling until the battle is over.
This also gave him more courage and confidence, but after arriving at the destination of the transport, the cruelty and fierceness of the real battle were revealed in front of them.
The other party is really desperate, going forward and successively, trying to use the corpse to pile up a way to the city, the kind of fearlessness and sacrifice for life, which makes people afraid and frightened.
Fortunately, in the task of fighting ahead, there are those soldiers and auxiliaries who defend the fortifications, and these strong men who have come up to the flesh are just holding the usual sharpened wooden poles as an accidental filling in a sense.
More often than not, it is just delivering supplies and cleaning up to help the wounded. Because of his location, Li Fugui still has a few results that are difficult to calculate.
Recently, he could even clearly see the expression and look on the other party's face from the edge of the wall.
It was the ultimate darkness of life, and he had seen it in the ranks of the homeless people who were in his travels, in all sorts of temporary companions.
Then, under some instinctive throbbing and frightened subconscious, he quickly gets rid of them or moves away from them.
Because these people who give up on themselves or fall into some kind of hysterical madness, they don't know what terrible things they will do. Often, older and weaker women and children are more vulnerable to assault and mutilation.
Then, the names of his wife and children who wanted to go back to reunite were read, and Li Fugui, who regained his courage, poked his eye sockets hard with a wooden pole.
The desperate and unwilling expression that covered the corners of his injured eyes and fell down made him even more excited.
"Open up and pull ......"
"Open up and pull ......"
At this time, several steaming vats, together with the aroma of some kind of soup, suddenly washed away the stench and scorched smoke on the city, and the atmosphere of slaughter and low servitude.
It also makes these people, whose bodies and expressions are a little numb and stiff, come back to life and reveal more vivid expressions such as snorting, grinning, and smiling from their squatting positions.
In the steaming vat, there is a large soup of fried noodles stewed with canned and dried vegetables, and there are even large red and white pieces of meat floating on the oily soup noodles.
"Get up and have a drink and a bite to eat...... Warm up and live......"
The leader of the gang knocked the iron sheet on the side of the barrel with a spoon and shouted
"It's not easy to leave any injuries behind
"Each person takes a piece of the big meat......
"You can scoop as much noodle soup as you want......
"Why are there some cold cakes left over from yesterday......"
"...... that can be eaten even when grilled"
Li Fugui, who was crowded in the crowd, also scooped a bowl full of noodle soup, boiled fried noodles and dried vegetables, and many of them almost overflowed at the edge of the bowl, and there was a big piece of meat on it.
He begged for a piece of cold cake again, saving even the baking heat, and directly dipped the edge in the large vat of noodle soup, then rolled up the big piece of meat, squeezed it until the pink juice was full of water, and then stuffed it into his mouth with satisfaction, and bit it down hard.
Although the meat itself is old and woody, and there is a little bit of heavy condiments, and the fishy sour smell cannot be concealed, it is a genuine fresh meat.
Because, this is the horse meat that Li Fugui followed many people to take advantage of the battle break to venture down the base to go outside, and cut it back.
In this weather, dead horses are not easy to rot right away, but they are easy to freeze.
Therefore, it is necessary to cut off the heat quickly, and then bury the unwanted liver, intestines, lungs, and other sewage and filth together with the corpses of the enemy.
But it's a rather hard and menial job that requires skill.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that the result of doing so according to the routine was to create a certain sense of battlefield legend again and again.
For example, about a certain army directly eating people on the battlefield, and therefore detaining the soul as a ghost, it will never be reborn.
At this time, the officer who was temporarily in charge of their section of the wall, ignoring the newly wrapped gauze on his shoulder, strode over and encouraged them with a smiling face.
"It's hard work, eat more ......"
"Only when you eat well can you continue to work and serve......"
Listening to this familiar words, Li Fugui, who was half-full, couldn't help but think about it and returned to his home in the rear.
That woman seems to be telling herself all day long.
As the former fifth eldest in the family and the de facto third among the brothers, Li Fugui was scolded the most at home for "you foodie", "blind grain goods" and "little starving ghost reincarnated".
Because, he can eat the rest of the time, with the same body and age, even if he eats more than others, he is also very hungry, almost catching up with his two brothers who are several years older.
Their youngest and only sister was even more pitiful in comparison, and the only meal she had at home that she could eat was on the morning of her sale, and was able to negotiate a few more copper plates with the human tooth in order to make the improvement look better.
In addition to being hungry, he could only rely on going up the mountain to dig out finches and go down to the river to catch snails, barely raising himself to such an age where he could barely work.
The general road is able to have the strength to earn food for himself, but the natural disaster ** destroyed his family, which was struggling with hunger.
Including the two elder brothers, their wives and children, more than a dozen members of the family of three generations almost starved to death, died of illness, and Li Fugui, who was young and strong, had to burn down the shed that was used as a cemetery to escape after his family died.
Therefore, for a long time, Li Fugui's lifelong wish is to be able to eat a full meal, and he is willing to do anything for this.
On the way to exile, this wish became that before being starved to death and eaten, it would be nice to have a full meal.
Then this wish came suddenly, and after he came to Xuzhou to conclude the contract, it was quickly realized. Unexpectedly, some troops began to collect these homeless people, and after they were selected as miscellaneous servants, they were even more jicama and grain bricks, and they almost ate a round belly.
Then he had a field to work in and a dormitory to live in, and then he found a local woman who was several years older than him, with a pair of cheap children, relying on the government's initiative to reward old immigrants to start a family, and in the designated public grange, he repaired a ready-made house and settled down again.
Therefore, the favorite thing that this new mother-in-law likes to do is to cook a big pot of food, and then put her hand in the cloth pocket, watching Li Fugui and a pair of children gobble up.
Because of Li Fugui's shoulder strap miscellaneous subsidies, there is some surplus on rations, so the family can always dip some oil and water every once in a while to open meat.
At this time, under Li Fugui's repeated urging and strong request, the woman would reluctantly take out a piece of salted fat from the rice bowl in the expectant eyes of her children, and rub it vigorously at the bottom of the pot, before she went down and stir-fried the soup to make a pot of gnocchi or soup strips.
Then, shredded with radishes or washed and peeled potatoes in the cellar, accompanied by some old vinegar, it is a seasonal fresh dish that saves firewood and condiments.
At this time, Li Fugui would push and refuse with the woman again, and in the waiting of a pair of children's eyes swallowing saliva, most of them were finally pulled into Li Fugui's big bowl, and a small part was evenly divided in the children's bowl.
Then he used words like "eat more" to urge them to eat more, until Li Fugui hiccuped gently, and the children were all warm, and their little faces were red with fine sweat.
Only then will the woman use the residues of the hot rice basket and the leftovers at the bottom of the pot to deal with a very delicious meal.
At this time, Li Fugui would also take out a blackened and slightly hot potato piece from the stove and continue to fill the woman's stomach.
The comfort and comfort of a simple and simple life were born inadvertently.
To tell the truth, when Li Fugui saw this, this woman pulling two children with vegetables on her face, was like a skeleton that could fall when the wind blew.
It was easy to raise the sturdiness and abundance of working women in a stable life, and now, she not only takes care of the daily work of the family, but also can do more than two or three odd jobs.
Because according to the rules of the village, the children must report to the children's camp for seven days within ten days to participate in the collective life arranged by the government. As a result, she was able to take part in paid work for women's cooperatives in her spare time.
Mainly from above, the trivial work that requires patience for needles and threads, at least a full lunch, and a meager physical wage for a quantitative piecework.
Coupled with Li Fugui's part-time entry in the patrol team, he can be as diligent as possible on weekdays, saving a lot of money on weekdays.
Therefore, the woman can't help but have some entanglements in private, she feels that she is getting older and older, after all, she is an old widow who marries three times and four times, and she has always had the heart to help Li Fugui have a son and a half daughter, which can be regarded as an explanation for the sect.
But I'm afraid that it will be hard to raise one more person, and I'm afraid that it will thin out the care and intentions of the existing two children, after all, it is not easy for the two children to get along well with their stepfather.
But in fact, for Li Fugui, this is meaningless, after the most difficult time and struggling with life and death, he doesn't care much about these things, as long as someone can pass on his surname and family.
After all, in a sense, Li Fugui's ancestor can also be regarded as the descendant of the Li family in Longxi.
It's just that after the Tang Dynasty Son of Heaven generously gave the country surname Li and gave it to various existences in Huanyu Sea, he was basically a cat and a dog, and he could call himself gloriously, and the ancestor of a certain family was Li Yunyun in Longxi.
In fact, not to mention the Li clan in Longxi, even the seven major clans of Shandong, which were once ranked first in the world, have adhered to and adhered to the traditional glory and the purity of intermarriage with small circles, all of which have been washed and shattered under the rolling tide of the changing times......
It's just that when he said this, the more the woman wept and didn't speak. This made Li Fugui a little helpless
Thinking of this, he decided that when he went back this time, he must find a way to have another child with a woman, and it would be a little harder, at least until he saw that his children were married.
PS: I apologize here for the two days of interruption.
The day before yesterday, my father-in-law had a sudden heart attack and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, my mother-in-law cried in a mess, directly heart dredging and bypassing, accompanied the whole process, and only went home last night, so I didn't have the mood and ideas to update.
The situation has finally stabilized today, and I need to continue to observe, so I went home to take a shower and deal with some chores, and by the way, I took the time to update.
I hope to be able to understand one or two,
