"Major General!"

"General!" Ma Xiang, Wu Er and others stepped forward to salute.

Xin Yue nodded, and then asked, "I heard that it was so lively here just now, is there any situation?" ”

Ma Xiang shook his head and told Xin Yue what had just happened. Xin Yue nodded and said, "That's fine, it's good not to attract everyone's attention, our whereabouts can't be known by Wang Ba yet." ”

"Young General," this is Wang San called Xin Yue, and then said: "Young General, you said yesterday that my task is to go down the mountain to inform the people below, but now it's daytime, are we still walking that trail like last night?" ”

Xin Yue shook his head and said slowly: "No need, isn't Ma Xiang also going down the mountain to bring back some people, when the time comes, you will go down the mountain with him openly, and you don't need to go down the trail you took yesterday, and you can only use it if you encounter it." ”

Wang San nodded.

At this time, Xin Yue thought that he might have to investigate the situation in the cottage next, and Ma Xiang couldn't follow him all the time, so he said to Ma Xiang: "We may all have to stay in the village in this cottage for the next period of time, you introduce us to the people in the village, by the way, what is this place called?" ”

Ma Xiang looked at the busy people in the distance, a warm smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "This mountain is called Bawang Mountain by Wang Ba, and the villages on the mountain are named after the southeast, northwest and northwest, and this is the west of Bawang Mountain, so it is named Xiba Village." ”

Then Ma Xiang introduced the situation in the village, in addition to the people who are not at the bottom of the mountain now, there are still more than 150 people here, but they are all children, women, children and old people, young people, all arranged in the team, and then sent outside to rob.

At this time, two old men walked over, gray-haired, but still in some spirits.

"Captain Ma!" The two old men called Ma Xiang, and Ma Xiang introduced to Xin Yue: "This is Xu Lao and Li Lao, because they have learned some knowledge, so Ma Xiang arranged for them to deal with some small things such as eating and dressing in the village." Then he also briefly introduced Xin Yue to the two of them.

After seeing Ma Xiang signaling that he didn't mind Xin Yue and the others, Xu Lao and Li Lao opened their mouths to speak, and when Xin Yue heard it, it turned out to be some small things such as the daily expenses in the village, such as how many wild vegetables were dug up the day before yesterday, how much corn was left yesterday and so on.

Seeing Xin Yue's doubts, Ma Xiang explained: "These things seem small, but they are the guarantee for everyone's survival, because everyone has very little food, and even can't eat enough, so not only do they have to dig wild vegetables every day, but also carefully calculate the food they distribute, which is also the reason why no one in Ma Xiang's village starved to death."

After hearing this, Xin Yue sighed and couldn't help but think that Ma Xiang, as the highest power person in this village, seemed to be doing a good job, although what he did outside was such a thing as robbery that everyone scolded him, but it was for the cottage, for the people in the village to survive, everyone in Liangshan in "Water Margin" can be called a hero, why not Ma Xiang?

No matter what a person does, it may be considered evil for a while, but who can deny that what he does is not a good thing in the eyes of others?

The same soldier who is killing, although the injuries are stained with blood, but as long as the starting point is good, then why is he not a hero?

After Xu Lao and Li Lao left, Xin Yue couldn't help but pat Ma Xiang's shoulder heavily, and then turned around and left.

Leaving Ma Xiang with a blank face standing there and trying to break his head and didn't understand what Xin Yue meant, fortunately Wang San came up and explained to him: "Hahaha, this is the young general's real recognition of you, this is the special expression of the young general, when the major general approves and appreciates a person, he will do such an action." ”

Ma Xiang still didn't understand why Xin Yue suddenly recognized himself, but then he thought about it, why did he have to figure it out? So happily followed Wang San down the mountain.

On the other side, Xin Yue took Wu Er back to his house, and then explained the next specific tasks to Wu Er.

"Knock knock!" While Xin Yue and the others were discussing, there was a knock on the door outside the house. When I opened the door, I saw that there were several children of seven or eight years old.

"Grandpa Xu, let's bring you breakfast!" A slightly older little boy said crisply, and at the same time his expression was still a little nervous, and they were still a little scared of Xin Yue's strange men.

Xin Yue saw a few children, two of whom were carefully holding a small basin of something, and then the others were holding dishes and chopsticks, and the one in that basin should be "breakfast".

Xin Yue and Wu Er took over the things in the hands of several children, and when they looked closely, it turned out to be corn porridge, but this porridge ...... The rice grains in it may not be enough for Xin Yue to take a mouthful, and sprinkle a few unknown wild vegetables on the surface, Xin Yue thought, I'm afraid this can't even compare to the free soup provided in the canteen of the previous life!

However, Xin Yue knew that the conditions in the village were not good, which should be considered good, so he beckoned a few children: "Have you eaten?" Let's eat together! ”

Unexpectedly, the child shook his head: "We don't eat, Grandpa Li said that our food is not enough, and we have to give a little more to the father who goes out, Grandpa Li said that Daddy is working outside, and they need to be full to have strength, and strength to earn money, so that they can give us a full meal every once in a while!" ”

The child was obviously not very sensible, so he told Xin Yue what "grandpa" usually said. They didn't notice that Xin Yue was already clenching his fists at this time, and the children didn't know what their fathers were doing outside, they only knew that the fathers were earning money to feed them, but they didn't expect that the fathers they admired were doing things outside that could lose their heads at any time in order to be able to eat well.

But their fathers carry their heads every day, but they can't let them eat a full meal every day, and maybe only after they have robbed something will they be rewarded in the cottage, and then they can fill their stomachs once.

"Come here, let's eat some together, uncles were full yesterday, they were full at the bottom of the mountain, and they are not very hungry now, come and eat quickly!" Xin Yue choked up and pulled a few children into the house, and asked Wu Er to serve some corn porridge for one of them.

Seeing that a few children did not forget to lick the bowl with their tongues after eating, they couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this small bowl of corn porridge may not be enough for Xin Yue to stuff their teeth, but for them it is simply thirsty.

In the end, Xin Yue and the others also symbolically ate a little bit, otherwise these children would be afraid that their "grandfather" would inevitably scold them when they went back.

Looking at the figures of several children holding things away, Xin Yue couldn't help but clench his fists. In this world, tens of millions of people, but how many of them have eaten enough at this moment? The people in this cottage are probably already calculated, at least they can drink a little corn porridge and eat two wild vegetables every day.

After Xin Yue explained to Wu Er and the others, he wandered around the village to see their lives, while observing the terrain of the cottage and investigating the defense of the central area where Wang Ba was located.

And so it was noon, and light smoke rose from the village, and at last it was time to eat. However, the food is still corn porridge, only slightly thicker, and of course, wild vegetables are no longer mixed with corn porridge, but there is a small plate. Xin Yue ate this corn porridge and wild vegetables without a trace of salt, and thought in his heart how to arrange these people after cleaning up Wang Ba.

Suddenly, there was a noisy sound outside, Xin Yue hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and when he went out, it turned out that it was not something else, but that Ma Xiang had already returned with others.

"Brother Xin Yue, Brother Xin Yue!" There was a cry of surprise from afar, Xin Yue followed the voice and looked, it turned out to be Guo Jia, why did he come here?

Guo Jia ran over excitedly when he saw Xin Yue, but before he could say two tear-jerking words such as "not seeing each other for a day is like every other autumn", Xin Yue's reproachful words came: "Why did you come here, didn't you let you take care of other people under the mountain?" ”

When Guo Jia heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Big brother, haven't I heard about the things in this cottage, so I want to come and give advice to the eldest brother, and there are big brothers and them at the bottom of the mountain, and I can't play a role." After speaking, he pretended to be aggrieved and wiped his tears.

Xin Yue knew at a glance that Guo Jia was acting again, but what Guo Jia said also made sense, he was a person who made suggestions, so he nodded and agreed to Guo Jia to stay, at this time Ma Xiang came over and reported their situation to Xin Yue.

This time, Ma Xiang brought back about fifty people, of which thirty were Xin Yue's subordinates, and the other twenty were also people who could definitely be trusted. After Xin Yue listened, he pulled Ma Xiang and asked, "You came back with someone just now, what was the reaction in the cottage?" ”

After listening to this, Ma Xiang replied: "Since such things are more common in the cottage, there is no suspicion, for only about half of the people came back, Wang An asked, I used the excuse that they were still exploring under the mountain, Wang An was not suspicious." ”
