Chapter 101: Windfall

When the bald guy slashed and killed, and walked into Zhiwen's attack range with a disgraced face, there was a sudden "Boom!" There was a loud bang, and then there was a firelight.

According to Zhiwen's estimate, it should be the sound caused by the collapse of a house after it was burned down by the fire, but the displaced people did not see it that way, because the sound was very similar to the sound of the official artillery bombardment.

"The officers and soldiers are coming!"

"Officers, officers!"

"Oh my god, artillery!"

The crowd fleeing out was even more chaotic, and the speed increased a few points.

The gravel in Zhiwen's hand was also thrown out to the bald guy in time.

This time the force was very strong, and the accuracy was not bad, and the gravel all hit the heads and faces of these people, instantly beating them all over their faces.

Like other homeless people, the bald head reached out and touched his head, and after seeing the blood on his hands, he also exclaimed, "Artillery!" The turbulent momentum just now suddenly deflated.

Without saying a word, he turned and ran in the direction of the carriage.

And the group of people surrounding the carriage in the distance, after hearing the loud noise, the horse reached out and dragged a bag of grain from the cart, and hurried away in the direction of the flow of people.

Those who didn't have horses also wanted to get bags of grain, and they were afraid that they would not be able to run fast and be caught up by the officials and soldiers if they carried things, so they had to look at the carriage with hatred and run into the depths of the darkness.

As for the man who was still jumping and screaming in the carriage, he was dragged down by a few men under the carriage, and hurriedly helped him to a horse, and then they also rode a horse, and snatched a bag of grain, and escorted him away.

Looking at it like this, it seems that it is the leader of the "Heavenly Star" Wang Er, otherwise there will be no one to protect him.

......

At this time, it was the afternoon of the second day, and the fire in Gaojiapingwu Fort had been completely extinguished, and there were wisps of green smoke, with a little bit of black ash, falling to the ground from time to time.

The air was filled with the smell of burnt human flesh.

Last night's fire became extremely fierce later, but fortunately the wall did not further expand, but it also reduced the houses and other houses inside the wall to ashes.

The displaced people, plus the surviving villagers, were burned to death at least a few hundred people, although Zhiwen felt a little unbearable, but ......, it can be regarded as a choice in desperation.

From the beginning of the soft-heartedness, to the current fire to kill hundreds of people, but just a little unbearable, such a change in mentality, Zhiwen himself did not notice.

That's fine, they don't have to deal with the corpses in the dock fort.

It's just that Zhiwen's original idea of collecting some weapons in the fort also failed, and when it was burned like this, there was nothing.

Most of the weapons of the homeless people who were frightened away fell in the fort, and the main forces outside the fort regarded weapons as more important than their lives, and did not leave a single knife for Zhiwen.

"Xiaozhi!" Xiao Jie walked out of the ruined dock fort and sat next to Zhiwen, the expression on his face was both excited and annoyed, very strange.

"Huh?"

Xiao Jie leaned into Zhiwen's ear and said a few words in a low voice.

"Really?" As soon as Xiao Jie finished speaking, Zhiwen looked ecstatic.

The food of the dozen or so carriages outside the fort last night, Zhiwen and they all thought that there must be no hope, but they didn't expect that when the displaced people fled, most of them didn't bother to grab some food.

And the "Heavenly Star" Wang Er and his cronies only took a small part, and most of the lost grain was pulled by a frightened horse and ran away, and his whereabouts are unknown.

But there were still three carriages left, and these three horses, who did not know whether they were deaf or had been on the battlefield, were unmoved by the loud noise that was close at hand, and stood calmly in place until dawn.

There were almost thirty bags of grain on the three carts, estimated at 1,500 kilograms, and Zhiwen immediately decided to give Ma Er a bag of grain as a reward for him to lead the way and help.

Even if there was only so much food left in the end, it also gave everyone a surprise.

Unexpectedly, what Xiao Jie told Zhiwen now was an even bigger surprise.

"Shall we go and see?" Zhiwen asked, and then denied it, "Forget it, wait until Aunt Song and the others wake up." ”

Next to Zhiwen is a shack, Xiao Yingniang and the three girls have been sleeping since the morning and haven't woken up.

After all, it is a female stream, and the girls are still young, although they did not fight that night, but they also persisted until dawn, after the exchange at the south gate, one by one's spirits were sluggish, and their eyes could not be opened.

Zhiwen had to be a messenger to protect the flowers, and he has been guarding until now, and he is supported by the excitement of getting food unexpectedly, but he doesn't feel too tired.

Xiao Jie didn't seem to be satisfied with this bit of food, so he couldn't sit still, and when the fire was a little smaller, he went in and touched it again, saying that he was looking for a secret room or something.

Although Xiao Jie is opposed to gathering crowds to grab grain, but in the case of Gao Jiaping, since it has been broken by thieves, he is very interested in finding ownerless grain.

As for Ma Er, Zhiwen asked him to chase Guotianxing all the way to find out the news, and if the other party had any actions that were unfavorable to him, he would come back in time.

"You guys go," Xiao Yingniang woke up at some point and sat quietly beside them, "I'll guard here." ”

......

On the afternoon of the third day after leaving Dazhu, on the road from Yanzhou to the Yellow River, Zhiwen and his party drove three carriages, on which they were rushing to the fork in the road with grain obtained from Guo Tianxing.

There is basically no one along the way, so there is no need to worry about so much food being seen and red.

"Would you like to take a break? Aunt Song. "Zhiwen, Nannan, and Niuniu can't catch the car, and the three carriages are driven by Xiaoying's family of three, who work in Zhangfu and take care of the carriage.

"No, you don't." Xiao Yingniang and Niuniu sat in the first carriage and didn't look back.

"Come on, we're at a fork in the road." Zhiwen excitedly cheered everyone on.

He couldn't help but be excited, he didn't expect that this trip was not only a smooth journey, but also a harvest far greater than he expected, and now the grain on these three carriages was only a small part of what he had obtained from this trip.

Xiao Jie really didn't work in vain in the past few months in Zhangfu, and gave him a big surprise, and he found an underground secret room in the ruined dock fort.

The house above the secret room was first burned down by Guo Tianxing and others, so it was not affected by the fire that Zhiwen and they set up, and there were fifty bags of grain in the secret room, totaling five thousand catties (two thousand five hundred kilograms).

If it was only like this, Zhiwen would not be so excited, although five thousand catties of grain is not a small amount, but for Zhiwen, it is only to increase the stock of grain, washing his own food.

What makes Zhiwen really surprised and excited, is in the back.

Originally, when he found the secret room, when he saw these grains, Zhiwen was already very satisfied, not only did he not run in vain, but also had a lot of gains, these grains should be privately collected by the local tyrants of Gaojiaping, in case of food shortage, I didn't expect Zhiwen to be cheaper.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jie only accompanied Zhiwen to be excited for a while, and then as if he had discovered something, the short wooden stick in his hand jingled.

Just when Zhiwen was about to lose patience, a very well disguised door in the secret room was opened by Xiao Jie again.

The choking smell came to his face, and inside was a warehouse that was far larger than this secret room, and the accumulation of grain made Zhiwen and Xiaojie dumbfounded, and the specific amount could not be counted for a while.

Several stacks of leather jackets that have been formed, and piles of wool stacked in sacks, are processed in a very rough way, so the smell is very strong.

There is also a large amount of silver, some of which has been oxidized and blackened due to the length of time.

It's really right to let Xiao Jie come with him this time, otherwise where would you find so many supplies.

Regardless of the fact that Xiaojie would expose his secrets, Zhiwen collected all the grain, fur and silver in this warehouse.

Judging from the increase in the number of the system's warehouse, a total of 50,000 kilograms of grain, 200 leather jackets, 1,000 kilograms of wool, and 20,000 taels of silver.

These old wealth, I don't know if it is the accumulation of generations, in the end, it is all cheaper Zhiwen them,

Of course, Zhiwen had to thank them for hiding it so well that they didn't let Tianxing find out.

With these 50,000 kilograms of grain, Zhiwen's cash-for-work plan can be carried out smoothly, and there will be no need to worry about food for a long time.

Well, it seems that if you go to the homes of these local tyrants who have been attacked by the homeless, you may get a bigger harvest, the homeless people are shallow, and they may not be able to find the food hidden in the depths, but Xiaojie can find it.
