Under the supervision of the Marine Corps and the guidance of officers and soldiers, the refugees gradually formed a long line in front of the two registration offices, although the line was crooked, but few people cut the line. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info But there is always a head out of everything, and a few people who seemed a little more robust began to quarrel in dissatisfaction and shouted one after another. "Why are the people in front of you so slow?"

"I'm hungry, hurry up!" "If you don't hurry up, I'll go up and smoke you!" I really don't know how these people still have so much energy after being slaves for a few days.

"Don't yell!" A Marine with a Senate rifle in his hand leaned over and shouted at them, "Queue up honestly, and if you make any more noise, go to the back!" ”

A few people were honest, but one guy who didn't look very hungry came up, "What's your name at me?" You guys are doing things so slowly, and you want me to queue up well, my lord, I'm a big family in Wenshan Port, if it weren't for the trouble in Nanban, how could I come here? I also have relatives in this Champa port, if you dare to yell at me again, I promise to let your hundred households kill you!" ”

The Marines ignored him, threw the butt of their rifle to the ground, pointed at him with his left hand and said, "Shut down or I'll get you to the back of the line again!" ”

"Boy! What is your name? Which hundred households are under it? ......" This so-called old man is getting stronger, his voice is getting louder and louder, and slowly the people nearby have cast puzzled eyes, not knowing what is going on here. “…… Folks! The officers and troops of Zhancheng Port are rampant, and this barbarian army has already retreated anyway, let's go home! ”

Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Bin caught a glimpse of a refugee dancing and yelling at a marine, and he hurriedly shouted at the non-commissioned officer who was standing guard under the wall. "What's going on over there? You go deal with it! ”

At this time, the people next to him gradually began to wait for complaints, after all, they hadn't eaten for a few days, and they looked like there was food now, but what if the delicious food was chosen away by the people in front of them? Under the shouting of this person, several civilians quietly walked out of the queue and wanted to go out, but were stopped by a Marine in a blue military uniform, "Please register to receive food first." ”

The Marines were instructed not to let the civilians leave as much as possible, but at the instigation of the refugee, this act of goodwill was misunderstood. A common man hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged, "Master Jun, the small one is just a grass people, who can't read big characters, and can only farm, and I asked the military master to let the small one go home." ”

said that it was too late, and at that time, there were a lot of ordinary people kneeling down beside him, all begging to let them go home. This Marine was also stunned at this time, he obviously wanted to ensure that everyone could eat, why did he feel that his taste had changed?

"On what basis did you register our names? How many of these are slaves and untouchables? Do you want to take the people of Wenshan Harbor captive? The refugee was still shouting, "What if this is your port of occupation, and what about our land at home?" What about real estate? What about the possessions? Isn't it cheap for outsiders? He shouted and waved his hands, "Come home with me!" Even starving to death at home is better than being angry here! ”

But at this time, there were few responders, and on the contrary, a few of the kneeling people got up and returned to the queue. At this time, those who can survive are basically not masters of fine clothes and food, they are all untouchable long-term workers or short-term tenants, and they usually eat in a precarious situation. When I was taken out of my home, I saw it all, the house was burned, the food was looted, and now even if I go back, I have no overnight food. The spring ploughing season has not yet arrived, and now it is even more brutal, not to mention the seeds, there is no food, and it is not only starving to death? Although it takes a lot of time to queue here, there must be something to eat, at least now you won't starve to death, and the people who are happily drinking porridge in the distance are not fake.

The quarrelling person was stunned to see that few of the people responded, and he wanted to pull out the few people he knew, but the few people who were pulled shook their hands at him, for fear that he would pull them out and queue up again.

"Give you one last chance to get back to your original position, or else follow me to the back of the line and line up again!" The Marines, who had been insulted by him, were still tepid, pointing at him and repeating the sentence.

"Don't you think! Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated! The "master", whose finger was almost pointing to the marine's nose, almost jumped up, "I'm a scholar and a master, how can I stand with these untouchables?" ”

A smile finally appeared on the marine's expressionless face, and he beckoned to a few comrades around him, "This guy thinks he should line up alone, you can help him." ”

The comrades-in-arms on the side had already seen that they were angry, and when they saw that the person concerned had spoken, they rushed up without saying a word or pressed him to the ground twice, twisted him up and sent him back. At this time, the non-commissioned officer in charge of communications downstairs rushed over, and when he saw this situation, he quickly stopped and asked a few soldiers what was going on.

"My wife's family is from the Lin family in Zhanchenggang! The Legend of the Cities in the city is the largest trading house in the port of Zhancheng, if you provoke me, I will let Lin Zhennan, Master Lin kill you all! The "master" who was being held below was still saying cruel things viciously.

However, the non-commissioned officer smiled and patted him on the cheek, "I'm laughing to death, do you see if it's Lin Zhennan's head hanging on the city tower?" Don't you know that the Lin family has been raided because of fornication? Now the Lin family, who was assigned to be official slaves and maids, is still on the way. The attitude of disturbing order is rampant, and I approve the execution on the spot! Lao Tzu calls you crazy! As he spoke, the non-commissioned officer glanced sideways at the guy and waved his hand.

As soon as this guy's legs were weak, the whole person softened, and he planned to wait until the trouble was big and let Lin Zhennan come over to clean up these strangely dressed officers and soldiers in person. Now he could only let a few marines lift up and drag him aside, and after a while, there was a "bang".

"Name!" "The little one's name is Zhou Rui."

"Rui of Ruixue?" "Wise wise." The person who answered was quite careful. Seeing that this clerk couldn't write it for a long time, knowing that he couldn't write this wise word, he hurriedly stretched out his right hand and whispered, "Master, the little name is not good, let the master smile, let the little one write it himself, don't stain the master's eyes." ”

The clerk was happy to go down the stairs and hurriedly handed over the pencil in his hand. Zhou Rui pinched the pen and wrote his name in the notebook, although this was the first time to write with a pencil, but these two words were still quite good. Ren Xuefeng, who was patrolling on the side, glanced at it and smiled, "Not bad, Xiucai?" ”

"Yes, let the master see the smile." The clerk in front of Zhou Rui hurriedly shook his hand at him and said, "This is the chief." ”

"Well," Ren Xuefeng nodded, "Yes, you are a talent, clerk, you give him a blue cloth strip, and he is here to assist you, so you can speed up a bit." ”

"Yes, chief." The clerk hurriedly went to fetch the blue cloth strips. Ren Xuefeng rushed to the Marine Corps non-commissioned officer who was protecting the safety behind him and said, "You go and get a set of bowls and spoons to make him a porridge, remember to have a little more portion." ”

The non-commissioned officer saluted and left. Zhou Rui tied the blue cloth strip on his left arm and wanted to go to the back, but was stopped by Ren Xuefeng, "Don't worry, you sit here first, I'll have someone bring you porridge, you rest first," he said and pointed to the empty table and chair on the side and the paper and pen placed on it, "Help me register after eating, is it okay?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Rui took a long breath, it seems that his identity as a scholar is still respected. "Thank you, sir...... Ah no, thank you for your attention. ”

"It's okay," Ren Xuefeng waved his hand, "This is called knowledge changing fate, if you don't understand anything, just ask him." With that, he pointed to the clerk next to him, and the clerk nodded at him in a friendly manner.

Zhou Rui sat at the table to rest, his family is a wealthy family near Wenshan Port, the family has more than 200 acres of land, when Nanban came, his whole family was arrested, his parents were killed directly by the barbarians because they were too old, and the body was thrown into the well. It is said that it is to pollute the well, so that the people who escaped nearby will not be able to survive even if they come back. His brother and sister-in-law were killed at the beginning, because the sister-in-law did not want to be undressed by the brutes, the brother stepped forward to try to persuade him to be killed, and he remembered his parents' will to let him live and pass on the lineage, so he endured the humiliation and secretly gave birth. Fortunately, since I was a child, I often followed my parents and brothers to work in the fields, and I would have worked in the fields when I wasn't studying, otherwise I would have died of exhaustion on the road at this time.

At first, he had little hope of surviving, but then he was inexplicably handed over to the port of Champong, at least for the time being. But soon a more real problem arose, and he was left alone with the family, and the house burned to the ground before he even left the village. The land deeds collected by the family must have also been burned, and the hundreds of acres of land in his own family have long been coveted, and he can't keep it even if a scholar goes back. And there was no food, no seeds, and no one could cultivate it, so he could only starve to death in those fields.

Originally, I planned to see if there was a place to continue drinking porridge here, first take care of my body, and then go to Zhancheng Port to find a tent and other work to do, and wait until I have some money to go back to Wenshan Port to see. But now this "chief" seems to be quite fond of himself, I wonder if he can continue to do it in this position?

Before he could finish thinking about it, a military man in a blue cardigan coat walked in front of him with a huge bowl and put it on the table. Zhou Rui, who suddenly had a great appetite, picked up the bowl and began to eat without saying a word.

"Be careful...... "...... Ren Xuefeng's words were only halfway through, and he was stunned to find that the porridge in Zhou Rui's bowl was only half left. I had to laugh twice, "Don't worry, drink slowly, if it's not enough, I'll let someone help you get another one." ”
