Chapter 50: Meeting After the War

As the saying goes, waiting for a long time is ugly, this journey seems to the anxious Zhang Rusong to be a long road, and finally rushed to the north of the camp along the official road in the afternoon. The sedan bearers suddenly stopped and put down the sedan chairs. Zhang Rusong was very strange, he opened the sedan curtain and was about to scold the sedan chair driver for why he stopped, but he poked his head out and suddenly stayed there. There was a road not far away, which was completely different from the official road they were walking on, which was not only smooth and above the ground, but also ...... It was very wide, four feet wide, and stretched all the way to the city where the pirates were not far from the beach.

Everyone stood on the spot, is this the way? Even the emperors and princes in the capital are just like that, right? What's more, there are drainage ditches dug on the side of the road, which is too extravagant, right? Is it planning to develop a new field on the roadside? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but get out of the sedan chair and jump up to look around.

"Don't move!" A few pirates suddenly rushed out of the grass on the side of the road, they were dressed in thick thatched clothes, their heads were all made of plant hats, and their faces were painted black, not to mention hiding in the grass, even if they were lying on the official road, others would only think that they were just weeds on the road. The sudden appearance of these pirates frightened the palanquin bearers and the porters who transported food and all kinds of rewards behind them, and they couldn't run for a while, and fell to the ground with a pop. You must know that there are rumors everywhere that pirates are murderous and murderous, but if their guns are fired, they will definitely die. At this time, all the porters fell to their knees and trembled, and none of them escaped.

Zhang Rusong is the same, because the clothes he wears are different from those of the coolies around him, he is obviously a lot more gorgeous, so he is first approached by a few pirates. He felt cold all over his body at this time, and his clothes were suddenly soaked in cold sweat, but fortunately he stopped not long ago to pee, otherwise I am afraid that he would have his pants directly by now. He looked at these black-faced pirates, they were really out of the sky, and at this time he only felt that he saw his wife and children being driven out of the house by his relatives, and saw that the family property was occupied by those relatives who had never seen him......

But what is amazing is that these pirates neither fired nor slashed, but only kept the fire in their hands aiming at them. One of them, who obviously looked like a leader, walked up to Zhang Rusong, wiped his face, revealing the true color of his skin, and asked, "What are you here for?" ”

Zhang Ru was relieved for a moment, the pronunciation of these people was neither Guangdong and Guangxi dialect, nor Annan accent, but an official dialect with a northern accent. Could it be that these people are from the north? As his thoughts raced, the pirate stretched out his right hand and waved it in front of his eyes, asking again. "Hey! What are you doing here? ”

He suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly said a few pirate cuts, but the other party looked at him with an unknown expression. This is Zhang Rusong knows that it is bad, these pirates are obviously not from Beihai all the way, and hurriedly said: "Little Zhang Rusong, An Yun City is just a small household, this time by the squire of An Yun Realm came to greet you......" He hurriedly looked at these pirates left and right, they are much taller than the porters he brought, and their bodies are also much stronger, they are obviously shrewd and strong, and hurriedly added, "Heroes, we will prepare a special gift and invite you heroes to smile." ”

The black-faced pirate burst out laughing. "Hero...... I'll ......," he turned his head to look at the guards behind him, "we're really pirates now." ”

Zhang Rusong's face was full of surprise when he saw that the black-faced pirate took out a square box from his pocket, said a few words to it, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You all get up and follow me." The pirates behind him also put away the firearms in their hands. The porters stood up trembling, not knowing whether it was a blessing or a curse, so they honestly followed the pirates who led the way towards the city by the sea. From time to time on the side of the road, I saw pirates wearing green cardigan coats wearing green iron hats, holding well-looking firearms to guard the captured villagers, and some of them wearing mandarin duck jackets carried farm tools out to work. Are they planning to open up a wasteland here? This is a wasteland and a city, and the sawmill in the distance is sawing wood that shakes the sky, are you going to live here for a long time?

Zhang Rusong trembled and followed the pirate who led the way all the way to the city gate, there is a ditch about three feet deep and three feet wide at the foot of the city wall, if it is a siege, this position is enough to make those who take the siege ladder suffer, but the strange thing is that a section of the city gate was not dug up, but a road was directly repaired to the city gate, in fact, when the defense was designed, the city gate was also required to be dug up. However, the construction machinery carried by the traverser is too much and too heavy, and if the steel plate bridge is used, it is not only a waste of materials, but also very inconvenient to put away; The wooden drawbridge was not suitable for such heavy machinery at all, and in the end, the section of the city gate road was not dug at all, and the enemy could not attack it anyway. Zhang Rusong was about to follow in, but was stopped by this black-faced pirate, only to see him take out a piece of white and fragrant paper and wipe it on his face several times, wiping off the black mud on his face, revealing a face that looked quite white and tender.

This person shouted a few times towards the watchtower on the city tower, because it sounded official at all, Zhang Rusong sounded completely stressed, he just asked the people inside to come out to greet him.

After a while, several pirates with the same shaved hair came out of it, all of them were wearing green or colored cardigans, and pants of the same color underneath, all of them were stepping on a pair of black leather boots, which made Zhang Rusong a little speechless, he knew how expensive leather boots were, and the person who came out now was the leader of the pirates, and it was not surprising that he wore leather boots, but all the pirates he had seen before, whether they were watching the captives outside or these carrying fire guns, Even those who have these strange tools in their hands and don't know what they are doing are dressed like this. It seems that this group of pirates is simply rich, and I don't know if these rewards they bring can get into the eyes of the other party.

Many people came out of the city wall, carrying tables and stools, and set up a platform outside, and then some people took out many cups one after another, and some people were holding a strange-looking thing and pouring water inside.

Zhang Rusong saw a female pirate bringing him a glass of water, and quickly stood up to take it, and didn't know if this was the pirate's maid, but it was not suitable to offend anyone at this time, he could only thank this woman busily. Then he watched in amazement as she brought water to her porters. Isn't this self-depreciation? He turned his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned again, the cup in his hand turned out to be completely transparent, a small paper bag was loaded and floating in the cup, and the faint brown color was slowly dyeing the entire teacup. It's glass! Although it was not priceless, he was sure that there was absolutely no rich man in this Anyun City who had such a thing. He couldn't help but feel even more stunned, the pirates directly entertained themselves with such a noble thing, could it be to tell themselves that they had money, and he couldn't help but be afraid that this trip would become difficult. Thinking of this, he took a sip in the teacup, the tea taste was obviously inferior tea, but this method was very peculiar, so that he would not blow the tea leaves when drinking tea, but he still felt a little bit that using such a noble glass to hold this inferior tea was a bit of a pearl.

After a few sips, a young-looking pirate sitting across the table nodded to him and spoke. "Your Excellency is Mr. Zhang, right?"

"Don't dare, villain Zhang Rusong," Zhang Rusong hurriedly put the teacup on the table and stood up. "The little one came this time to send a reward to all the heroes, and I also ask you to raise your noble hands and return the corpses of our and other villagers."

Yang Minghuan obviously had an unnatural face, when he was cleaning the battlefield, he originally wanted to pile up those corpses and burn them for cremation, but he was stopped by Sun Wenbin, Sun Wenbin meant that the ancients took the matter of corpses very seriously, not to mention the ancients, even among the modern people, there are still many people who are very resistant to cremation. Later, at Sun Wenbin's strong suggestion, the bodies were buried on the edge of the woods, 500 meters north of the timber mill. He had thought that Sun's suggestion was obviously excessive, and that it had been protested by the medical team for fear that it would pollute the camp. At this point, it seems that this decision is very appropriate.

"The corpses have been buried in one place, and if they need to be returned, just ask someone to pick them up, and we will send someone to show them where they are buried and provide farm tools." Yang Minghuan nodded and answered Zhang Rusong's question in the affirmative.

Zhang Rusong was stunned for a moment, in this era, even if someone is killed in a conflict between villagers, the corpse must be detained and not returned, and the other party must pay a fee to carry the corpse before it is allowed to take it, but the group of pirates in front of him actually agreed without mentioning the silver at all? He hurriedly nodded his thanks, anyway, the pirates are powerful now, and there is no way for him to be unwilling, if he annoys this group of pirates, where will he run away to complain? He suddenly remembered the entrustment of the wealthy families in the city whose families were captured, and couldn't help but ask Yang Minghuan with a difficult face. "Some of the households in Anyun City have relatives who have been captured here, and the villain has been entrusted to come here to ask if it can be ransomed?"

As he spoke, he handed over a list. Yang Minghuan smiled and took it and looked at it carefully, some of the names on it seemed to have been seen, but he had no impression, and handed it to Shen Bin, who was sitting on the side. Shen Bin lowered his head and looked at it slightly, raised his head and said: "One person on the list has died of serious injuries due to ineffective rescue, and the other five are still cultivating at this time and it is not suitable to move their positions, and the remaining ten people have nothing to do." ”

This point was already discussed when the issue of prisoners was not discussed in the Executive Committee after the battle, and it was useless for these people from wealthy families to stay here, and most of them could not carry them on their shoulders, and it would also affect the ideological work of the prisoners, so it was recommended to directly let go of the feelings of the natives and the natives. At this time, since the other party came to ask for someone, he gave it directly.
