Chapter 116: The Spout of the Pot
After forcibly pouring the dozen or so sober but immobile horses with firewood and gray water, most of them spit out.
Yellow and green, undigested stomach contents, horses' stomach acid, and firewood ash water, vomited all over the ground, the taste is sour enough.
More than thirty horses, seven were finally saved, and the rest were never saved, Zhiwen took people and threw them into the big pit and buried them, the meat was known to be poisonous, and no one dared to eat it.
"Ma Er, let's pick a few horses." They find out the news, and it is more convenient and faster to have horses.
"Okay." Ma Er responded energetically, he and Huang Si also killed a few people last night, knowing that after handing over this nomination, Zhiwen really regarded him as his own.
Doing a pat, looking right, Ma Er finally pointed to two of the horses and said, "Xiao Zhi, I want these two." ”
"Why don't you want a few more?" Zhiwen was a little strange, I remember that he asked him to find ten people at that time.
"The person who delivers the news can have a horse to ride, and it is inconvenient for others to inquire about the news if they have a horse." Ma Er said with a smile.
I see, Zhiwen nodded, like those who mix in the crowd to inquire about the news, there is a horse that is indeed quite conspicuous.
Zhiwen and his entourage took five horses, and without hurrying, they caught up with Dr. Sun and them again three days later.
The other two horses rode away halfway through the horse, saying that they were sending the horses away.
"Zhiwen, you didn't bring me this time." Kewang began to complain as soon as he saw Zhiwen, and his eyes were full of resentment.
"Next time there's such a big scene, you have to let me do it."
"Okay, okay, I'll let you go next time." Zhiwen casually agreed, and Dai Dingguo valued his on-the-spot machine transformation ability more, but this time he didn't seem to use it too much.
"Xiaozhi, let's add some more people." Doctor Sun looked at Zhiwen and said.
He already had this idea, but Zhiwen didn't agree on the grounds that those families were not familiar with each other, and now more than ten days have passed, these people are really working hard, and there are no moths, Zhiwen should have no excuses.
"Okay." Unexpectedly, Zhiwen happily agreed this time.
After a period of observation, he has determined that these people have no bad intentions, so he will continue to find someone.
"But we still have to recruit people who these people know now, like last time." It's a bit of a chicken thief, but it's safer.
......
In early autumn, in the afternoon, the originally wide Yellow River was suddenly retracted by the river, and the river rolled unwillingly, but soon fell down the cliff, making an earth-shattering sound.
The huge roar was even more shocking than the thousands of troops.
A colorful rainbow, connected to the sky, and a curtain of turbid yellow-brown water below, just lying quietly, compared with the rushing river, still and moving, complementing each other.
Zhiwen stood on the edge of the cliff, staring at the second largest waterfall in China.
That's right, this is Hukou of the Yellow River.
After the second recruitment, there were 54 families with more than 200 corpses, the efficiency was greatly improved, and the journey was accelerated again.
Zhiwen and Xiao Jie and Xiao Yingniang are now in charge of finding food, as long as Ma Eryi finds out, they will take six newly recruited orphans to dig for treasure.
There were times when his hands were empty, and there were times when he returned with a full load, and on two occasions he actually found medicinal herbs in a slightly larger town, which made Dr. Sun and his son happy.
There were a few more horses, and a few more carriages were made, and transportation was not a problem.
In this way, although there are many more people, the food in Zhiwen's hands has not decreased.
On the days when they were not looking for food, Zhiwen and their team were more leisurely than others, and today on the road, Zhiwen heard this loud bang that spread for several miles from afar, and estimated that it should be to the mouth of the pot.
At the moment, I couldn't help but say, and pulled several people who were temporarily idle to come to watch.
However, the others were not very interested, and they suddenly glanced at each other and left, even Dr. Sun, who was prosperous in poetry, only chanted "The autumn wind rolls up a thousand waves, and the evening ushers in a thousand zhang red", so that a poem went to see his patient.
Only Zhiwen was left alone here for an afternoon, and it was rare to relax.
After being shocked by this majestic and magnificent landscape, he suddenly thought that more than ten years later, the scenery is still the same, but the land of Shenzhou may be full of fish, and I can't help but feel stunned.
Along the way, Zhiwen can be sure that his group of people has changed the fate of many people.
Sun's father and son helped people see a doctor, boiled medicine, they buried corpses, disinfected, and put food for the helpers, and the team grew from small to large, and I don't know how many people who should have starved to death and died of disease survived.
But is there any point in making such efforts? Zhiwen was a little skeptical.
Maybe these people did not die in this famine and pestilence, but in the past ten years, they may die in another famine and pestilence, they may die in the rebellion of the thieves, and they may also die under the iron heel of the slaves, but it is just the difference between early death and late death.
What can I do for these people and for the suffering Shenzhou?
In this way, looking at the tumbling river, listening to the monstrous sound of the water, and smelling the humid moisture, Zhiwen stayed for a whole afternoon.
It wasn't until the sun was about to set that he turned and left.
rushed to the camp, just to eat, and while the people were together, Zhiwen announced that he would increase the number of people to bury the corpses again.
"Great, Xiaozhi, I watched the waterfall for an afternoon, figured it out?!" The happiest person is naturally Dr. Sun.
"But the families we are looking for add up to a total of 150 households." Zhiwen nodded, and then said, "Li Zhi, be careful when you recruit people, don't get too much, the ones who will burn lime will be given priority." ”
This number was considered by Zhiwen, Li Zhi cleaned up and counted seventy households by himself is almost his limit, the three girls are small, it would be very good to sort out the remaining eighty households, and if there are more, they will not be busy.
It's not that I haven't thought about finding literate people to help, but with so many refugees along the way, it is even more difficult to find a literate person among them.
Others, such as Kewang, Dingguo, and Xiaolin, don't know much about words, let alone counting, and they also have their own business.
Only Zhiwen himself and Xiaojie can help when they are not looking for food.
"But I think we can find more of this manpower, Xiao Zhi, didn't you find another batch of grain a few days ago?" Dr. Sun felt in his heart that the more people there were, the better, "The more people there are, the faster we can go." ”
"Uncle Sun, it's not that I'm reluctant to give up food, and if I recruit people again, Li Zhi and they won't be busy." Zhiwen explained.
immediately comforted Dr. Sun, "But don't worry, when the new recruits are proficient, I have my own way, not only not to recruit people, but also to increase the number of people." ”
"Really? Don't fool me. Doctor Sun said suspiciously.
"How can it, you can just see." Zhiwen said, "Ma Er reported yesterday that he found another damaged dock fort, and when I, Aunt Song, and Xiaojie went to find food and came back, we will start." ”
