Chapter 55: Inspection
Because there is only one gate, and it is a high-walled city, the gate tower here is taller and wider than other places. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Turning the corner along the staircase, the thousand generals did not disturb the soldiers on duty for the first time, he just stood not far away, watching quietly without blinking.
The people who passed by were all carrying a bundle of dry firewood behind them. The clothes of this era were very elaborate, and there was a difference between the common people and the slaves in the smelters of the city. Standing at the inside of the door, there were hundreds of people queuing outside, and it was so late, even the slaves in the smelter, as long as they were not bad, were ordered to rest. Most of the people who come in at this time are people who don't work weekdays and can't always complete their tasks.
As for the common people, although their lives will not be very good, but in terms of the future of these thousand people, it seems that few of them have to work so hard from morning to night, and it is now the end of the year, and the people treat themselves at home, after all, they have worked hard for a year, even if they work for a living, they will go back to reunite with their families before dark.
If so many people said that there was no anomaly, he would not believe it.
On the other side of the city gate, the thousand men will slowly walk outside with two accompanying soldiers. All the soldiers and the people who passed through made way for him. While maintaining a steady pace, he observed everyone entering the city as he walked.
"You, but you live in this city?" Staring at a person for a few breaths, he always felt that the thousand people who were born in the face of the person finally stopped and asked.
The voice was flat, and he didn't want the people to feel anything else because of his casual question.
"Back to the general's words, the small, the small one is not from this Xincheng person," the common man spoke with a thick accent of the residents of eastern Korea, which already roughly represented his identity.
Bow down, even if the general in front of him doesn't look very unkind, but after many years of military career, he is a thousand-person general, and there will always be a fierce aura like a sword out of the sheath at any time. That feeling always made the common people unconsciously weak, "The small family lives in a mountain village two hundred miles northwest of Nanyang City, and the Wei army is coming, so we can only leave our hometown and take refuge!" ”
The more the voice was spoken, the softer it became, but in this light voice, people knew that there was a lot of helplessness in this person's heart.
"So, do you have a place to stay in this city?" Thousands of people will frown, as if they will be suspicious.
"No, the whole family is gone, only the little one, it's good to have a stutter."
After speaking, he silently lowered his head. And the thousands of people on the side will just watch quietly. When the war broke out, refugees were indispensable, and no one can doubt this.
After a few breaths of thought, the thousand generals finally let down their guard, let out a long breath, and asked softly: "You just said that you, the others can be here, can you point it to the general." ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Na Chai Fu first quietly glanced at the thousand generals, as if he had just thought of something, and at this moment he suddenly woke up: "Oh, there are a few people here, it's them." ”
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed back. Looking at the eyes of the thousand generals, there were several people behind him, old and young. When they saw him turn their heads to look over, they all bent down and saluted: "I've seen the general." ”
"Uh-huh......" A heavy snort, that breath turned into fog in this cold night, slowly drifting away, "Okay, you guys go into the city." ”
"Yes...... Yes yes ......"
After stooping and smiling, a few people stopped looking at the thousand generals, turned around, and stood honestly in the procession waiting to enter the city.
"This strong man seems to be a little faceless? But from out of town? Behind him, there was still the inquiry of the thousand generals, and there was also no tone of voice.
At this moment, the person facing the thousand people is a man in his early thirties, who is tall and looks really good on the outside, but the clothes on his body look really pitiful. In the winter, he was wearing dozens of puddings, not to mention dirty and rotten, and it was a thin dress in early autumn.
Turning his face, his slightly handsome face was covered with dust and black that he didn't know where to smear, and the moment he shook his body, he always had such a foul smell on his body, in short, it was extremely pungent and unpleasant. So much so that the two soldiers accompanying the thousands of generals were already shouting in front of their nostrils with one hand.
"Grass...... Grass Folk ...... See...... Seen the general. After a general glance at the thousand generals, the man opened his mouth, and his already weak voice stammered even more, looking very afraid.
Stretching out his hand to cover his nostrils slightly, the thousand people took a small step back unnaturally, and then asked, "Ben will see that you are unfamiliar, but you are an outsider?" ”
"Ah...... Right...... Right, right...... The grass people, who are outsiders, are from Xiaozhuang Village...... One, begging all the way. ”
"Begging? It's a pity that you don't have a soldier, why don't you go to the army? ”
"Go, General, the grass people went, but they wouldn't let me take the spear, saying that I didn't catch it right, and my hands, my hands were always shaking, so they let me go and make a fire, but I didn't burn it, and I burned the general's tent on the first day. Immediately afterwards, he was beaten by them and kicked out. If it weren't for my hard life, I guess I would have died a long time ago. They were still muttering to me when I was gone, that I was stupid, but, but you can't blame me......"
The staccato words gushed endlessly.
Like a person who hasn't spoken for a long time, the more he speaks, the more excited his face becomes. When it comes to the grievances of the past, it is like a river bursting its embankment, and it is out of control.
The thousand people may be because they can't guard the strange smell on him. Perhaps these thousand people will also think that this person has a problem with his brain, just like the previous conscripts. After all, his performance seems that even if there is no problem with the brain, it is mentally underdeveloped, and in the words of later generations, it may be a neuropathy.
With a long exhalation, the thousand people finally shook their heads helplessly, and turned around and left without waiting for the man to finish. The two soldiers behind him had already had enough of such a strange smell, and they couldn't help but leave with Changge on their lauress.
"It was they who said it was cold, and told me to burn the fire bigger, and then the fire burned my clothes, and in a panic, I threw the stick in my hand at the fire, and then the tent was burned. This ......"
"Okay, okay, I've gone far, the front is empty, Lao Tzu is still waiting to enter the city, hurry up and enter the city." Just when the man was shouting louder as if scolding the street, a person behind him suddenly pushed him, and then whispered close to his ear: "Don't say it, it's really similar, but this smell is too bad." ”
