After sleeping for a night twenty miles north of Yong'an City, Zhang Gou'er hugged his green salt bag tightly the next day and continued to move forward with the flow of people returning north. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

When he was a child, Zhang Gou'er's aunt once told him a very inspirational and beautiful story.

When crossing the Yellow River by boat, his parents unfortunately fell into the water and disappeared, and the last bit of money of the family carried by his parents also sank into the river.

The boy cried at the river and walked back. When passing by the salt pond, the boy helped the rich family there dry salt and did a short job. Half a year later, the boy exchanged the money earned from his part-time job for a bag of green salt, and then carried it on his shoulder, trekking all the way, and finally returned to his hometown.

The boy sold the bag of green salt at the market for a good price, and then used the money to buy back a cage of chicks, and he raised chickens on the barren hillside behind the village, and when the chicks grew up, he began to hatch the chicks, and then sell eggs and roosters. Slowly, the boy earned enough money by raising chickens, he began to buy land again, hired people to cultivate it, and then more and more fields, then married and had children, and later became the richest landowner in the area.

The story told by Zhang Gou'er and his mother is very famous near Lishi, because the protagonist in the story was later killed by Guo Da and the rebel refugees! The grain and wealth that the Bai Bojun had scavenged from the manor of this big landlord alone were enough to feed tens of thousands of people for several months.

Zhang Gouer didn't think that he would be the master in the future, he just thought that one day he could raise a large group of hens that could lay eggs, and then raise a group of fat sheep, and then find his sister back, and the two sisters and brothers would live a peaceful and stable life. Father and mother are no longer in the world, other distant relatives are also separated, and the only thing he can think about in this world is his sister.

Because he put all his expectations on the bag of green salt in his arms, Zhang Gou'er has not let go of this burlap bag since he left Anyi. This bag of green salt is where his hopes and dreams lie.

Zhang Gou'er followed the flow of people and walked forward for a few days, and on this day he heard someone in front of him cheering, "It's almost to Zhongyang County!" Then I saw that the people in front of me had quickened their pace, and Zhang Gou'er hurriedly followed.

Walking in front of Zhang Gou'er was a tall middle-aged man, his body was emitting a thick stench, there was no hair on the top of his head, and pus was still leaking out of the sore area.

The middle-aged man didn't seem to care that others were avoiding him, and he carried a bag on his shoulder, which also contained green salt. Looking at the weight, it is at least several times the weight of the dog in his arms.

The crowd in front of them suddenly stopped, and they were blocked outside a wide wooden fence.

There is a gate in the middle of the guardrail, and the gate is also covered with branches and grass to provide shade from the sun. On both sides of the gate stood a number of soldiers, holding long wooden poles in their hands, loudly directing and dispatching the flow of people.

"Parents and folks in Xihe County, everyone can hear clearly, this is the last checkpoint for you to return home, mainly to prevent someone from returning to their hometown with the epidemic and infecting other neighbors around. Now, all men pass through the black-painted gate and go to the disinfection pool for disinfection; All women, through the red-painted gate, go to another disinfection pool to disinfect! Everyone listens, they must be cleaned and disinfected before they can continue to move forward, otherwise they will be dealt with by military law! ”

The flow of people was then divided into two streams by the fence, one on the left and one on the right. The number of female displaced persons is significantly lower than that of male displaced persons. In chaos and war, women are more likely to die than men because of their physical weakness.

Zhang Gou'er and the big man walking in front of him were stabbed several times by soldiers with long wooden poles.

"You two, don't follow so closely, wait here first, there is no room in the disinfection pool!"

The two of them stood at the gate and waited, and the soldier in charge of maintaining order looked at the notice board around the neck of the big man in front of Zhang Gou'er, and then covered his nose and asked him: "Li Donkey, don't you rub your eyes every time you untie your big hand?" Why does it stink so much! ”

The strong man known as Li Da Donkey blushed and explained loudly: "Every time I rub my eyes with the leaves of a big tree!" My body stinks because the weather is too hot, and there are poisonous sores and pus. ”

When the surrounding soldiers heard this, their faces turned red, but because there was a big man in the grass hut not far behind them, they didn't dare to laugh.

After a while, Li Hei came out of the hut, and he whispered a few words to the leader of the soldiers in charge, and the leader stared at Li Da Donkey tightly.

Someone waved a small green pennant at the disinfection pool in the distance, and the leader of the soldiers here ordered Li Dadonkey and Zhang Gou'er: "You two, you can go in!" ”

Li Dadonkey carried the salt bag, Zhang Gou'er carried the salt bag, walked along the long wooden fence inside, and came to a large wooden house with a roof also added.

In the hut were a few sturdy soldiers, covering their mouths and noses with white cloths, and were throwing something into a pool.

"You two, hurry up and put the salt bag on the platform over there, strip off all your clothes, and soak yourself in the pool!"

As soon as Li Dadonkey heard that he was asked to put down the salt bag, he immediately shook his head like a rattle, and Zhang Gou'er beside him also didn't say a word, holding his salt bag tightly.

Several of the soldiers in the house seemed to be accustomed to seeing such "dead salt, not let go" people, and one of them shouted at the back of the hut: "Here are two more dead people who want salt!" ”

Li Da Donkey and Zhang Ergou were still standing there preparing to fight, when suddenly a group of strong soldiers rushed out from behind them and used a rope to trap Li Da Donkey and Zhang Ergou.

Before Li Dadonkey and Zhang Ergou could resist, someone had already pushed them to the ground, and someone had carried their salt bags to a clean place away from the pool.

"Two sacs with eye sockets shallower than puddles! Who cares about the little bit of green salt you brought back from the salt pond? If we wanted salt, we would have stayed in Hedong in the first place! ”

The soldiers in charge of kidnapping people quickly tied Li Dadonkey and Zhang Ergou into big zongzi. Li Da Donkey's mouth let out a desperate scream, and someone stuffed a ball of linen into his mouth.

"Oh my God, it really stinks, hurry up and throw this rammed into the disinfection pool and soak it!"

"This little daring is not small, you see, he is glaring at us with eyes!"

"Haha......, it's okay, I don't feel comfortable not being stared at hundreds of times a day by homeless people!"

Li Da Donkey was carried into the disinfection pool like a soup pig, Zhang Gou'er did not resist, and walked in honestly by himself. He hoped that through his obedience, he would be able to get his salt bag back smoothly.

Li Da Donkey's body was poisonous, and as soon as he came into contact with the disinfectant water in the pool, he convulsed in pain. He had a ball of sackcloth stuffed in his mouth, so he could only say "woo...... Woo! Nasal voice.
