Text Chapter 173, Guard Yang 18 (middle)
The hungry Yang Kailiang, like the restless homeless people around, were staring at the porridge shed in the distance, but it took time to boil the porridge, and the slowly wafting smell of wheat rice was enough to make everyone support their weak bodies and squirm in their throats.
Looking at a large number of homeless people slowly moving towards the porridge shed in the east, Yang Kailiang sighed secretly, there are already so many people gathered here, just waiting in line for porridge on credit, and it will be noon to see the time.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at a few figures not far away, Yang Kailiang snorted coldly, turned around to cover the outside vision, and squatted down; He carefully took out a cloth bag from his bosom, pinched out a palm-sized dried meat patty, and tore it into two pieces.
He handed the patty to the old mother and sister, and at his signal, the two women took the patty in their hands, bowed their heads and chewed slowly, trying not to make a sound; fled along the way, and the tacit understanding between the three had already been formed.
God bless the homeless people who can generally get the chaff cake, how can Yang Kailiang have a meat cake? Hehe, three days ago in Xilonghe, he happened to meet two homeless people, although they were also dressed in tatters, but in the baggage on their bodies, there were stacks of dried meat patties, which happened to be accidentally seen by Yang Kailiang.
Yang Kailiang, who was smart-minded, looked at it quietly for a long time, and then suddenly found that there were suddenly more than a dozen young men mixed in the crowd of homeless people, but they were scattered in the flow of people, and they didn't know each other.
But resting on the south bank of the Xilong River, Yang Kailiang saw these men with his own eyes, and after faintly making a few gestures, he knew that he was afraid that someone sent out the eyeliner and hid it among the nearby homeless people.
Although I don't know which family sent the dark line spies, Yang Kailiang, who is hungry in his stomach, even if he can hold on for a few days, his mother and sister around him can't hold on anymore, and the dirty river water doesn't work if he drinks it.
With his skill, Yang Kailiang snatched two bowls of fruits on the bank of the river, and carefully smashed them open, but there was only a full water inside, which made him angry.
How did the family come on the road, Yang Kai understood in his conscience that he originally wanted to be an honest person here, but he saw that his relatives were about to starve to death.
In desperation, Yang Kailiang crushed the throats of the two men in the dark, and whoever let them sleep under the small trees by the river alone, the terrain was remote and obscure, and they quickly floated under the poisonous weeds when they were pulled into the river, and no one could see them.
Among the two bags that were hurriedly searched, no silver money was found, but there were two coarse cloth clothes and two large stacks of tightly wrapped dried meat patties, which made Yang Kailiang's eyes suddenly squint into a slit with joy.
It was by relying on these dry and hard meat cakes that the three of them walked to the foot of Shiguantun Mountain, from Xilong River to Shiguantun, a distance of 100 miles, more than 30 shriveled corpses of old and young fell on the side of the road, and the homeless people walking on the road have become commonplace.
After killing those two men, although he can live a few more days, but the bad Yang Kailiang, knowing his whereabouts late at night, was still discovered, no, the kid who has been following their family, although he has been silent for the past few days, but he walked close to them, and his small eyes circled around him.
This kid called Sanzi, Yang Kailiang asked, knowing that he had fled from Xining, so he didn't care, everyone was a homeless, if he was in a hurry, he would stretch out his hand.
Naturally, the meatloaf was also taken out and given a small half to the third son, under Yang Kailiang's indifferent eyes, the third son hid it in his arms very neatly, and there was no excitement on his yellow wax face, and he really understood people.
Yang Kailiang's vicious methods made the third son quite jealous, who wants to be troubled if he can survive.
It's just that after Yang Kailiang turned around, he didn't see the viciousness hidden in the eyes of the third son, so everyone mixed in the flow of people, relying on a few rye cakes from the two workshops to boil to Shiguantun.
Touching the only remaining meatloaf in his arms, Yang Kailiang smiled at his mother and sister, sat on the ground, and looked at the steaming cauldron again.
At noon, the Tian family, the Huang family, and the Wang family's porridge shed that joined in finally made porridge on credit, and the six hundred armed guards sent by the three families shouted for the displaced people to get up and line up, and one by one stepped forward to take the bowl of porridge.
If you want to cut in line, if you want to take more and occupy more, first look at the knives in the hands of the guards, and then you can't complain about the sharpness of the knife if you don't wake up.
After the two middle-aged homeless people who were unclothed were cut down and thrown into the vine grass, the noisy and chaotic homeless people, in a burst of crying, obediently lined up in a long line, no matter how burning their stomachs were, they had to endure to get the coarse porcelain bowl, and held the hot porridge to blow and drink.
In the afternoon, when Wang Gui received the notice from the herald and went to negotiate with the four caravans, the Jin family also joined the team to set up a porridge shed; Xiao Ye promised that from the afternoon, in the next ten days, the food consumption in the porridge shed would be offset with the goods in the Madao Stone Fort, which finally made a few deacons and shopkeepers look much better.
Naturally, the guards put their knives in their sheaths and no longer stared at the homeless people viciously.
Madao Stone Fort, in the mill compound, Xiao Ye was looking at a group of craftsmen, dismantling the transport car with the rear compartment apart, and assembling it little by little, sighing very much that his own craftsmen are still very capable.
The transport vehicle, which could not be pulled out, relied on the tools in Kang Hongyuan's hands, and it was erected diagonally on the carriage like an assault vehicle, and stumbled out of the cave along the way.
Of course, if he hadn't been in a hurry to urge, Kang Hongyuan and the others would not have been forced to use their brains and use all their resources to carry the transport truck.
The three transporters, which took two days in total, were barely assembled, and if the front of the truck was stuck in the tunnel, I am afraid that the craftsmen would be blinded.
After installing the transport car with the black battery, Sun Xiaoming jumped on it first, tinkered for a while, and started buzzing, and the rear carriage grew a lot of cars, and drove out of the compound in a flickering manner.
Xiao Liuzi, who had grinded Han Juan several times, finally relieved Xiao Ye, relieved himself of the position of a hundred household officers, and entered the pro-guard team again, he, like Yu Shan, would eventually enter the newly established Shenche battalion.
In the second transport car, Xiao Liuzi sat in the passenger seat, watching the guards skillfully turn the steering wheel and drive the car steadily.
The three transport carts, after being loaded with goods outside the warehouse, buzzed out of the forts, and in the amazement of the sergeants, they leisurely got onto the road, suspended in the air on the vine grass, and headed straight for Shiguantun.
Wang Meng was dressed in an earthy yellow uniform, holding a cigarette stick in his hand, standing on the fortress wall, looking at the transport vehicle slowly moving away, and smashing it vigorously in his mouth, "Good guy, if this thing is faster, there is a sergeant sitting on it, I'm afraid the war horse will not be needed,"
"That is, if Qin Shi has a machine gun on it, I'm afraid it will be able to be decorated with Tartars," Wang Ziliang twitched the corners of his mouth, "Things are good, compared to war horses, it's difficult to serve, war horses don't worry about feed on the grassland, what kind of transport vehicle, go to Shiguantun for a round trip, your two hundred hand lamps will be scrapped,"
"The battery costs too much, I'm afraid the big boss can't use this car at will," Wang Ziliang's words made Wang Meng's eyes bulge.
"No," Wang Meng, who was calculating the price of batteries in the shop, couldn't calculate the price of two hundred batteries, but he was sure that his monthly salary would definitely not be able to buy a round trip for this car.
When the three transport trucks followed by the four assault vehicles rushed to Shiguantun, Wang Gui had already stood at the porridge shed, and was working hard to recruit military households, "Those who have a family are preferred, and after entering the military register, there is still food and salary to get to ensure that they can eat a full meal every day,"
Being able to eat a full meal and have a place to shelter from the rain is already a great thing for the temptation of the homeless, and at this time, no one cares about being a military household, that is, the household has no food to eat, and it is the same starvation death.
Of course, there are young and strong people who are preferred, literate people are preferred, and those who are skilled are preferred, although other old and weak people do not refuse, but it is inevitable that they will be ranked last.
Yang Kailiang took his family to line up to report his name and place of origin, and after pressing his handprint, each person got a bowl of wheat porridge, and after filling his stomach sixty percent full, he went to the open space in the east.
Stay here and wait for someone from the stone fort to pick you up, this is Wang Gui's original words, but these homeless people don't know at all where we are in the Madao stone fort; They didn't know, but the four merchants knew, so they waited to see Wang Gui's jokes.
Everyone has long seen the cargo capacity of the assault vehicle, and these nearly 2,000 displaced people don't know what year and month they will be transported.
Like Yang Kailiang and them, the shrewd third son, as well as more than a dozen strong men, also became military households according to their fingerprints.
There are not many young and strong among the homeless, and no matter how strong the people are, they are all weak and old men, but there are many craftsmen inside, and on the list in Wang Gui's hand, there are not only blacksmiths, carpenters, and even two children, but they are rare and tight.
Of course, the vast majority of them were military households, peasant households, and hunters from nearby county governments, and all the beggars stranded there in Gansu town were driven here.
People are blindly obedient, especially these homeless people who have just eaten a hot meal, seeing that there are more and more people who can go to the open space in the east, and they are still hesitant and do not want to wait longer, and gradually, fewer people stay in the west.
"Buzz, buzz" There was a low buzzing sound from the road, whether it was the merchants waiting for the goods or the wandering homeless people, everyone's eyes widened, looking at the yellow-green assault vehicle, revealing their figures.
When the same car with the same appearance appeared after the assault car that everyone was already familiar with, Wang Gui no longer wasted spit, glanced coldly at the remaining hundred and ten homeless people, and walked away on his own.
The porridge shed has another porridge on credit tonight, although he is very reluctant in his heart, but the big leader's order, he can only continue to carry it out, there are still nine days to go, and he doesn't know how much grain to pour out.
The brand-new assault car that came as promised made the three merchant deacons quite happy, and they quickly sent their own guards to learn how to drive the precious thing.
However, the three long carriages that came in the end completely made Tian Guanglin and the others dumbfounded, seeing that in the earthy yellow front of the carriage, someone turned the steering wheel and turned the car, and the black-clothed guards outside greeted those homeless people and boarded the carriage.
"Damn, these homeless people have a good life, sit on them and enjoy them first," Huang Jiawei said enviously, "We don't even let you touch it, people are good, the whole family on the roster is beautiful,"
Among the homeless people, Yang Kailiang was tall, and in Wang Gui's opinion, he was a sergeant, so he was naturally singled out and got into the car first; Faced with this kind of car that didn't even have a wheel, Yang Kailiang was very shocked, blushing, helping his mother and sister miserably, and climbed into the back compartment under the advice of the guards.
The homeless people were too light, and the back compartment of the transport car was crowded with more than a dozen people, and it could be easily started, which made Sun Xiaoming, who had been worried, secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and after stepping on the pedal, the car began to hang steadily, and when he was more than half a foot above the ground, he used a slight force under his feet, and the car started.
Two thousand or so homeless people, even if the transport truck is pulled to Shibao, they have to run thirty or forty times, in line with the training of manpower, can only watch the battery is constantly replaced, without Xiao Ye's order, this kind of silver-consuming transportation can only keep turning.
He now had a dozen sergeants in his hands, all of whom had been transferred from the personal guards, and the vehicles plus the newly arrived transports were only six in total, and he had to constantly carry goods back and forth every day.
The craftsmen and sergeants didn't understand why the big boss didn't clean up the horse road, but spent money and effort to pull people with a car, only Wang Ziliang and Xin Rulin, a few people close to Xiao Ye, knew that this was training a driver who could drive, and it was inevitable to spend those black batteries.
Wang Gui left two guards to teach the guards sent by the merchants how to drive the assault car, while the other guards and guards took turns to get on the car and pull the carloads of homeless people to the Madao Stone Fort, and the two assault vehicles that transported goods had to continue to play the role of pulling goods.
It wasn't until two days later that the transport truck transported all these homeless people outside the stone fort, and at this time, the six guards also began to grasp the steering wheel in their own car, and drove the car in a buzzing circle, but Tian Guanglin and the others were distressed.
Those black batteries, now that they have finally figured it out, the biggest use is in the car, and it used to be used as a hand warmer to light the stove, which was really a waste.
Needless to say, after today, the purchase price of the nearby black fruit pits will definitely rise a lot, and the actions of the merchants in the secret planting of vines and grasses will also be above board, at least a lot will be planted near the carboniferous mine.
As long as you have the intention to use Coptis chinensis to defend, I think that the vine grass will not grow crazy and spread everywhere, after all, there are large fields within the side wall.
The open space south of the outer wall of Madao Stone Fort was originally used to exchange goods with merchants, but now on the open ground, there were once dense tents of large and small sizes, and the tents were divided into several large pieces.
When the displaced people arrived here, they would first arrange to live in tents, and wait for Wang Ziliang to send someone to screen them, and then talk about their whereabouts.
Every time three carts of 1,000 and hundreds of displaced people arrived, a sergeant would come forward, and according to the registration with Wang Gui, those who wanted to be sergeants, those who had skills, and those who could read and write, would be classified and lived in tents on different plots.
When they arrived here, there were a lot of sergeants outside the tent camp, and they took care of these homeless people, and of course, food and drink would be sent over according to the head, and each person could also get a coarse cloth short coat, at least enough to cover their bodies.
There are also buckets of clean water pulled by the carriage, so that these homeless people who have not drunk water for a long time are drinking until their stomachs are swollen one by one, and Yang Kailiang is not exempt, lying in the tent with a happy face. Of course, don't think about bathing, along the way, half of the water in the Xilong River has been reduced, and the hungry and thirsty homeless people on the road can see it when they raise their eyes.
Three days later, in the early morning, although there were still displaced people coming from Shiguantun, two thousand men and women had gathered here in Shibao, and a group of sergeants ran out of the fort gate with firearms/guns.
Yang Kailiang, who was sitting in the tent, also relieved his spirit at this time, and was holding a box of canned fried noodles, carefully pouring the remaining gray-white flour into the palm of his hand, and swallowing it into his mouth without pulling it at all.
The old mother and sister Yang Huiniang huddled in the corner of the tent with Yang Kailiang, covered with a half-new felt blanket, holding his tattered shirt while sewing and whispering; The night here is cold and cold, and if there is no blanket from the fort to keep warm, I am afraid that the elderly and children will not be able to stand the cold and heat of morning and evening.
"Oh, oh," the loud copper flute sounded in his ears, and Yang Kailiang, who was looking left and right with a canned food box, frowned, looked back at his family, got up and walked out of the tent.
Among the two families who were in the same tent with them, there were also three young boys and two middle-aged people, who were slightly stunned, and walked out of the tent solemnly under the nervous gaze of their families; Two days ago, the sergeant had already come to explain, and when he heard the sound of the brass flute, it was time for these young men to gather.
Yang Kailiang's mother and sister, like other young and strong family members, did not feel at ease to drop the work in their hands, Si followed out of the tent, and looked at the young and middle-aged men from a distance, and gathered together in the middle of the open space under the shouts of the sergeants.
Several female sergeants with rosters, accompanied by black-clad guards, began roll call.
"Zhao Ergou, Craftsman Team," "Wu Qing, Sergeant Team," .....
With the crisp voices of Han Juan and the others, the displaced people who were named began to line up and concentrate according to their registered specialties; Not surprisingly, Yang Kailiang, who had nothing to offer, only had one body of martial arts, and was soon pointed out to the sergeant team.
As for those who don't want to be sergeants, there are also jobs to work in coal mines and quarries, and they are also gathered in the craftsman team, which seems to be a lot of food, which naturally cannot be compared with sergeants, and Yang Kailiang is not willing to carry his head and bamboo basket to work hard.
After pondering the high and frightening salary, if he wanted his mother and sister to live a good life, Yang Kailiang could only grit his teeth and go to become a sergeant.
The clothes, boots, weapons, kettles, hunting knives and other bits and pieces of those sergeants, the careful Yang Kailiang looked at them for several days, and with the strong physique of the sergeants, he knew that being a soldier here was definitely not like his hometown, and he didn't do that kind of soldier who messed around.
Together with the two thin boys, a total of three hundred and tenth young men, after the roll call, a sergeant came out and called again, and each person who had been called, he could go to the foot of the steps at the entrance of the stone fort, where there was a tall and thin scholar, holding a paper fan in his hand, looking at them from a distance.
Behind Wang Ziliang, a guard held a wooden plate in his hand, covered with a layer of coarse cloth, and a small pile of scarlet pills, neatly stacked in an iron box.
For the innocence of these people, Xiao Ye took out a lot of money, which is also a last resort, the most difficult thing in the world to guess is the human heart, a thief can put Shibao in a desperate situation.
If his strength developed to the point where he could protect himself, he would not have resorted to such a means, otherwise he would have to come up with a primary powerful potion for his own sake.
"Reach out," the expressionless guard said to the reluctant short middle-aged man, seeing that the palm of the man's outstretched hand was still dirty, he couldn't help frowning, and pulled a towel from his waist, "Wipe your hand,"
Seeing the short man swallow the pill, the guard handed him the kettle and let him take two sips, and then had him led into the stone castle; During the whole process, Wang Ziliang, who was cold-eyed on the side, never raised his eyes.
Although it was not known what this pill was used for, the more than 300 people who were gathered did not make the slightest gesture of resistance under the guns of the surrounding black holes; The heavy gunfire and the bright spears at the foot of Shiguantun Mountain were enough for them not to dare to riot wantonly.
The homeless people who walked into the stone castle in front, Yang Kailiang with sharp eyes, at the moment when their figures flashed into the gate of the fort, they could see their already red necks, and their bodies were suddenly tense, and their eyes flickered; Like him, there were more than a dozen young and strong homeless people, and their faces were gloomy and ugly.
But when you get here, you have to go up to the shelves to catch the ducks, if someone tries to refuse the pill, I'm afraid the consequences are not so easy to think about, the sky will not drop a big cake casually, since you look up and eat it, don't be afraid of supporting your appetite.
"Yang Eighteen," Hearing the sergeant shouting his nickname, Yang Kailiang stepped forward without thinking, obediently followed the sergeant to the bottom of the steps, raised his eyes to look at the indifferent black-clothed guard in front of him, the evil aura on this guy's body made Yang Kailiang clench his fists involuntarily.
"Hehe, kid, don't be nervous, I'm not happy to give you benefits, what really bit Lu Dongbin," the guard's rough face, deep wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes, and he grinned as if he was smiling, "I want this pill to have combat merits, you guys are really lucky,"
The words were sloppy, but the meaning in them made Yang Kai's conscience move slightly, there is no need for people to lie here, it is true.
After swallowing the pill, Yang Kailiang followed the sergeant as soon as he stepped on the stairs of the plaster, when he felt a sudden burst of fire in his stomach, which exploded and flowed all over his body, and he couldn't help opening his mouth to spit out a breath of hot air.
Yang Kailiang's abnormal reaction made Wang Ziliang, who was not far away, widen his eyes and watched his movements with interest, the more intense this reaction to the pill, the more benefits he got after the effect of the pill passed, the more than ordinary people.
"This one is called Yang Eighteen, I'm afraid he has martial arts, and it's not an ordinary showman," Wang Ziliang, who had seen too much of the pill effect, turned his head at the herald next to him, and the herald went over to follow Yang Kailiang knowingly, preventing this guy from falling down the steps if he was not suitable.
At this moment, the black-clothed guard at the bottom of the steps suddenly roared, "Lao Tzu told you to swallow it, you still dare to hide under your tongue and play with flowers, right?" With the angry voice, a crisp snap was heard, and then someone rolled to the ground.
The clever third son, a large swollen blood stasis on his left cheek, the person had already pounced on the ground, and the scarlet pill fell to the ground, stained with dust.
"Hey, why are you still beating people," "That is, we are poor homeless, you can't just beat them randomly," Suddenly, the young people gathered in the clearing, some shouted, and several people responded loudly.
For a while, the homeless people, who were already puzzled by the forcible swallowing of medicine, became chaotic, and the big guys shouted that some people were going back, even if they were hungry, they had to go back to Shiguantun, and they didn't want to be frightened here.
Seeing this, the sergeants who were surrounding directly raised their fires/guns in their hands, and the sergeants of the outermost teams of the tent also began to occupy the terrain, and the fires/guns were full of fires/guns.
"Woo, woo," above the fort, the horn of the horn was low, and after the battlements of the fort strong, who had not yet seen a few figures, a dense group of sergeants appeared, and more fire/guns were pointed at the open space below.
As long as someone gives an order, there are no less than thousands of fire/guns around the area, and one round of fire is enough to kill half of these displaced people, along with their families.
The sudden sudden change in the situation made these three hundred or so homeless people stunned with their bare hands, the Ming army had sharp firearms, but I didn't expect that this place was not inferior to the army in the mainland.
For a while, the displaced people settled down, obediently lowered their heads, waiting to be swallowed by the roll call, and the displaced people and their families who watched the excitement from a distance were also driven back to the tent by the sergeant.
The black-clothed guard ignored the tumultuous homeless, but strode up to the third son, looked down at him indifferently, "Eat it," as he spoke, his big hand already pressed on the hilt of the knife at his waist, and his eyes were gloomy.
The trembling third son raised his eyes to look at this military man, and secretly complained in his heart, looking at this posture, if he refused to take the pill, people would really be killed.
"I, I'll eat, I'll eat," swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Sanzi grabbed the pill on the ground, closed his eyes and swallowed it a few times, before he looked at the black-clothed guard with a dry smile.
Seeing that this goods was still eye-catching, the guards waved his hand to let him get up, and a sergeant carried a gun, came up and pulled the third son to the fort gate.
In the northwest corner of the stone fort, not far from the house, three small pools have been built on the sides of two rows of umbrellas that occupy a large area, all of which are surrounded by plaster, and filled with the accumulated pure water; For the sake of these displaced people, there is not much water in the three pools tonight, but it will be wasted.
Fortunately, there was enough water in the big vat in the room, otherwise I would have to send canned food for dinner.
More than 300 homeless people were taken to the edge of the pool, and jumped into the pool one after another like dumplings.
A dozen or so homeless people were not only emaciated, but also had a very weak willpower, and they quietly fell to their deaths in the pool, and were quickly picked up and dragged away by the sergeants who had been watching them; If you want to get something, you have to pay, and this is also something that can't be helped.
Yang Kailiang, who was leaning on the edge of the pool, oh, now his name is Yang Eighteen, in order not to be found here by the government, he still decided to call Yang Eighteen, his cousins are eighteen in his hometown, and it is safe to call him so.
Yang Eighteen, who was in a daze, his mind was so hot that he couldn't pay attention to the movements around him, his body was red against the cold side wall by the pool, and he sat motionless on the steps under the water.
I don't know how long I soaked by the pool, when I opened my eyes, the sky was already cloudy, after Yang Shibai came to his senses, he quickly pulled out the tattered clothes and pants on his body, and first scrubbed the plaster on his body in the water, and the thick plaster was rolled layer by layer, and he was busy cleaning his hands in the water.
At this time, there were only five or six people who could wake up like him, and the homeless people next to him were still red-faced and panting, but they were not as energetic as him, and they didn't open their eyes while humming.
There are not many refugees who have fled and are physically strong, but the people who can survive are all hard-working people, and it took almost a day and a night for some people to begin to slow down, and those who couldn't slow down had already been cleaned up.
Xiao Ye will not continue to operate like this, after all, no matter which force it is, it will not be foolish to plant spies here without money, and after this group of spies disappears silently, they will be more cautious in the future.
Around the pool, the lights were bright, and gray-white lanterns filled the inside of the fort wall on the west side of the pool.
After probably washing his body, Yang Shibai reached out to get his clothes, and someone handed him clean towels and clothes on the side, which were very soft to the touch; When he looked up again, he saw the black-clad guard who had been wild outside the fort gate, standing at the edge of the pool, staring at him, and his body stiffened.
"Get dressed, come with me," the no-nonsense guard, dropped his clothes and stepped on his hard boots and walked aside.
Zhuanghu has the habit of wearing short hexagrams at home, this kind of upper and lower split clothes, it is not strange to wear too much, but this kind of earthy yellow clothes, the zipper on it is rare for Yang Shiba, and it will be carefully closed when instructed by the sergeant.
"Peng," when a pair of brand-new military boots were thrown in front of Yang Shibai, the young man's eyes immediately turned red, he still had cloth shoes to wear in his hometown, but on the way to escape, he could only snatch other people's clothes and shoes to wear, how could anyone give such valuable boots.
At first glance, it was a short-waisted boot sewn from thick cowhide, with two wide belts and hard soles, which made Yang Shibai dare not wear them with pleasure; In my hometown, this kind of good goods is worn by the landlord's family during the Chinese New Year.
The new boots of the hard bangbang, Yang Shibai pinched it in his hand, and he didn't realize in a trance that he didn't feel much weight.
The red strips put on their clothes and were led to the bathing place again, the large pieces of soap that could pull the dirty hair into clumps, the clean and refreshing large pieces of soap, and the warm water that kept pouring down on the top of the head, but Yang Shibai opened his eyes.
The time was already dawn, but the sky was still dark, the rejuvenated Yang Eighteen, waited outside the bathhouse for a while, and after gathering more than twenty people, he was led to the room to eat noodle soup flatbread, Yang Eighteen followed the guard, seeing that he was holding a hand lamp in his hand, and the snowy pillar of light illuminated the hall under his feet.
Squatting in the open space outside the room, holding a thick ceramic bowl in one hand and three thick meatloaf in the other, Yang Shibai looked at the small pile of palm-sized pieces of meat in the bowl, the steaming aroma of rice in his nose, and suddenly burst into tears.
I don't know how long it has been since I've eaten such a thick piece of meat, and in my memory, I seem to have forgotten the taste of eating a large piece of meat.
Like him, these young men in the open space who were eating hard, eating and eating, shaking their shoulders one by one, the big tears in their eyes fell into the bowl, but the cheeks were still chewing desperately.
Da Liu, a black-clothed guard, stood in the darkness in the distance, raised his face to look at the gradually brightening dome of the canopy, sighed slightly in his heart, and did not yell at these new military households.
"Your family members are outside, there will be someone to take care of the food, eat slowly, it's not enough," said quietly, Da Liu turned his face away, and stopped looking at these guys who didn't raise their heads.
After eating, without waiting for the next wave of new military households to come, Da Liu took these twenty or so people and walked directly in the direction of the big leader's courtyard.
After walking through the square and along the clean avenue, I turned the corner and came to a compound with four sergeants guarding the gate with fire/guns on their backs, and the two lanterns on the eaves had been extinguished.
Just when Yang Shibai was taken to the martial arts arena in the backyard of the big leader, Wang Ziliang was in Xiao Ye's study, reporting to him the results of yesterday's recruitment.
"Among the three hundred and eleven people, nineteen people who found problems have been sent to Eagle Claw Fort, ten of them have families, but their subordinates have inquired about their families, and they are all temporary partners,"
"I can't stand the potion, there are currently fourteen people who have died, and their families will make proper arrangements," Wang Ziliang's report made Xiao Ye secretly glad that if it weren't for his own potion, I'm afraid that even if most of the nineteen people were dug up, the rest would be a big problem.
"So, what if there are female spies from the government in those family members?" Xiao Ye took a sip of herbal tea and looked at the lamps and candles on the table leisurely, black batteries were in short supply, and even he could only use oil lamps and candles and lanterns at home again.
"This, the subordinates are incompetent," Wang Ziliang shook his head, no matter how many primary powerful potions there are, Xiao Ye will not be so generous when he thinks about it, but there are more than 1,500 homeless people outside, cutting out young children, and at least 1,400 women and old people.
"Those who have been screened will be left with their families, and the others, whether old or young, will be sent to Gujiabao, where a private school can also be opened," Xiao Ye thought about it, and could only be ruthless, in this world, if you don't want to be cheated inexplicably, you can't be a good person.
"Messenger Wang Dali, since these homeless people have entered the military household register, they will receive the logistics team, how much work can be done, how much food and clothing can be eaten, clothing and shelter, the leader has done his best," Xiao Ye's words, he was a little helpless, what he lacked now was young and strong, and so many old and young women and children came at once, which made him very uncomfortable.
Footsteps sounded outside the door, and a guard came in, "My lord, the twenty or so people who woke up first have been brought to the martial arts arena,"
