"Brother Deaf, oh no, Brother He, are you all locals?" Lu Meng first found someone to cheer for home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He Deaf asked loudly, "Huh? What did you just say? ”

"Hey, didn't you hear what you said just now, why can't you hear it for a while, is it intermittent deafness?" Lu Meng reasoned.

He Deaf shook his head and said: "I'm not deaf, but I'm always distracted, I often get distracted when I talk to people, I don't listen to what people say, and many times, others call me deaf." You're new here, and I'll stare at you when you talk and talk in the future, don't be angry. ”

"No, no, no, no. Brother He, I just asked, are you all locals? ”

"Yuzhang's."

"Lujiang people."

"I'm from Luling."

"I'm also from Lujiang."

Only He Deaf is a native of Jiangxia, and he moved from Jiangxia to Changsha County with Liu Qi.

They are all from the territory of my current father-in-law? Lu Meng was angry, why did the people under the rule of my lord come here to sell coolies to Liu Bei? This must not be forgiven!

"Everyone is from outside, was it all introduced by Brother He? Brother He is really a good person. Lu Meng continued to inquire.

"yes."

"No, no, I was introduced by someone else."

"It was introduced by Brother He."

……

Talking and laughing all the way, everyone followed He Deaf and didn't go far out of the West City Gate, and then a long downhill slope directly connected to the lake.

Lü Meng saw that there was a wide lake not far ahead, and there were several boats parked there, as if two of them were specially for the people to carry, and the grain bags on the other boats were pulled to the city by the sergeants in grain carts.

Some boats were parked on the lake, and several small boats with sergeants came forward to stop the boats and board them for inspection.

More are small fishing boats that are busy casting nets on the lake.

"Brother He, where did so many grain ships come from?" Lu Meng looked a little greedy.

He Deaf laughed: "These are all transported from the three counties of Changsha, Wuling and Lingling." You see, the grain transported by these boats that stopped here was first stored in Baqiu New Town, and those that were inspected on the lake and released were transported directly to Gangneung. It's this time of year when Bachu is at his busiest. We also rely on this time to come out and save more coolie money, and then we can buy more New Year's goods for the New Year. ”

Everyone carried a grain bag on their shoulders, and one by one they lined up in a column to return to the city. Lu Meng fell behind, raised his eyes and looked around, and asked the old man in front: "How long does this usually have to be carried?" ”

"It's going to take half a month. Not necessarily, sometimes the grain has to be moved out of the warehouse and sent to the ship and transported away. I moved it once a few months ago, and I was in a hurry, and I even moved it with the lights on at night. ”

Lu Meng calculated, it should be Liu Bei's preparation for attacking Hanzhong.

Back at the granary, everyone unloaded the grain at the door, Lu Meng couldn't help but stretch his neck to see the situation inside, but it was far away, or he could only see that the warehouse facing the gate was already full, and the newly arrived grain was moved by the sergeant car to both sides behind the door, and the specific inside was not seen.

Everyone turned around and continued to carry the grain bags. Lu Meng saw a group of sergeants coming from the south of the city with a convoy of grain carts, so he asked: "Brother He, why is there grain to be transported at the south gate, and is the wage for carrying grain on both sides the same?" Why don't we go over there? ”

"Haha," He Deaf laughed, "Don't think about it, the grain over there is all produced by this Baqiu, and most of it is cultivated by the army itself, and you won't let it if you want to move it." ”

"Oh, it turns out that the army grows its own grain to eat, so this Baqiu County is so big, how many troops must come to farm." Although Lu Meng knew that this was a military camp, he had not yet received any definite information on how many troops there would be here.

He Deaf urged everyone to leave quickly, and said to Lu Meng: "Brother Manren should not inquire about the news of these troops, you are a foreigner, you have asked too much about this kind of thing, I am afraid that there will be trouble." ”

Lu Meng hurriedly silenced and stopped inquiring for the time being.

In the evening, everyone was arranged to rest in a makeshift barracks. Lu Meng wanted to ask others again, but the others were exhausted from carrying food bags for a day, and they had already fallen asleep.

After two more days of moving grain bags, Lu Meng couldn't get any other news except for learning that there were about 2,000 grain troops in the Baqiu area, and the granary really couldn't get in, so he wanted to go around other places in the city and take a look at the layout of the city defense.

"Brother He, my stomach hurts so much today, I really can't carry the grain bag with you, can I take a day off today?" Lu Meng also knew that since he had already registered, he would only work for two days, and the grain official would definitely ask about it.

He Deaf was sitting on the bed looking at the top of the tent in a daze, as if he hadn't heard what Lu Meng said.

Lu Meng knew that He Deaf was about to have another seizure, so he had to say the stomach pain again.

He Deaf turned his head, his eyes suddenly stared at Lu Meng and did not move, his mouth opened wide and he did not make a sound, as if frozen on the picture.

After being distracted for a while, he opened and closed his upper and lower lips and asked, "Did you talk to me just now?" What did you just say? ”

Obviously, it was a pair of lost eyes, but Lu Meng was a little frightened, as if someone had seen through his heart, and quickly answered: "Brother He, I'm not feeling well today and don't want to go to work?" ”

"Oh?" He Deaf's upper and lower eyelids finally moved and blinked twice, "It's okay, as long as you are carrying food here now, if you have a minor illness or pain, the doctor from the government here will help you take a look and prescribe some medicine for you." Why don't I take you to see it now? ”

How can I really go to the doctor, Lu Meng pretended to rub his stomach vigorously: "Forget it, I'll bear with it first, hold on and then take a look." ”

Carrying grain from the lake again, when Lu Meng came back and passed by the grain officer's table at the door of the warehouse, his body suddenly turned crooked, and even someone fell to the ground with the grain bag, knocking down the table. The corner of the case hung up the grain bag, and the white rice was spilled all over the ground.

The grain officer was taken aback: "What's the matter?" Want to wreak havoc? ”

He Deaf hurriedly ran over to apologize to the grain officer again and again, and helped Lu Meng up.

The grain officer was very angry: "He deaf, this is the person you brought two days ago, right?" Who is he, look at the grain in this land, will you help him make amends? ”

He Deaf said with a smile: "My lord, this Manren is not feeling well today, and he originally wanted to ask the doctor to take a day off, and he had to carry the food when he died." Your Excellency, you have a lot, so spare him this time. ”

The grain officer picked up a handful of rice from the ground: "A grain of grain and a drop of sweat have been wasted by him in vain." No, I want him to pay for it! ”

He Deaf wanted to kowtow to the grain officer: "My lord, he is a beggar who has fallen here, how can he afford to pay for this bag of white rice." ”

"Since he is a beggar, then you brought him here the day before yesterday? Someone, get rid of this beggar, or let him go out into the street and ask for food! The grain officer said angrily.

Lu Meng hurriedly got up and fled with his head in his hands, shouting in his mouth: "Spare your life, spare your life!" But they were very happy in their hearts, leaving like this would not make them suspicious, right?

According to his many years of experience in leading troops, he analyzed that the defenders in the city would never exceed 1,000, and the city walls were damaged, the garrison was lax, and everyone was busy collecting grain.

It's a boiled duck in front of it, and no one is looking at it yet! Lu Meng felt that if he didn't quickly clip a chopstick, it would be like thunder.
