86_86695 Wang Shuhui has never felt the feeling of hunger. He didn't quite understand the feeling. However, Wang Shuhui knows that hunger is definitely a very terrible thing. This is still a problem that he only discovered after he began to collect and organize the displaced people at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

In the early days of military training, soldiers did not react very strongly to punishments such as beating with sticks and confinement. Until one time, when Wang Shuhui punished the last squad in a long-distance run and was not allowed to eat for a day, the soldiers of that squad generally showed the fear and panic on their faces, which left a deep impression on him.

You must know that the first batch of displaced people collected by Wang Shuhui at that time had already eaten for more than half a month.

All the soldiers in the revival army have a characteristic, that is, no matter how many things are made by the cooking class, no matter whether these things taste good or not, no matter what level of cadres and soldiers they are, there will not be a little bit left.

For example, the marching rations they eat now. Canned luncheon meat, although everyone has eaten a lot. However, everyone still likes it very much, so I won't talk about it. The key is the main body of the marching dry food, the "compressed biscuits" thing.

Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are steamed and dried, polished into fine sand, mixed with particles ground by food processing plants after drying chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and other animals, and mixed with various seasonings and dried vegetable leaves. Finally, the machinery driven by the steam engine is all pressed into bricks one by one.

Although Wang Shuhui is not a picky eater, he really doesn't like this "compressed biscuit". It's okay to boil the grain bricks with water into a paste. Although the mushy color makes people feel very suspicious when you look at it, in general, it can be swallowed in terms of texture and taste. The key is another way to use this "compressed cookie", eat it dry. Wang Shuhui really has a headache.

Let's just have lunch on the boat at noon today. When Wang Shuhui and the soldiers swallowed the "compressed biscuits" in the stomach with the cold boiled water in the kettle, he couldn't wait to take an iron chopstick out and poke the "compressed biscuit" in his mouth directly into his stomach along his throat. Wang Shuhui was more fortunate that when the soldiers around him were eating, they also showed a lot of bitterness and hatred on their faces. Only then did his doubts about his "pamperedness" disappear.

Immediately after the twelve children entered the barracks, they were sent to the camp of the military hospital by the soldiers of the guard company. In the Baath Army, there were the largest number of female soldiers in military hospitals. Throughout the establishment, all women, with the exception of the textile mills, are largely concentrated in the health sector.

The young women in the last years of the Ming Dynasty were not the pampered girls in modern society. It's impossible for them to see a group of children say something like "so cute" and then make all kinds of "myriad" looks. Of course, this group of children who were malnourished and dirty in the late Ming Dynasty couldn't look "cute". Instead, they were dry and thin, like a group of earth rats.

As soon as they heard that a group of children had arrived, the hygienists did not say a word, but first stripped the group of children to the ground, and then drove them into the bathing room of the military hospital. After that, a group of female hygienists, who were no more than teenagers themselves, brushed the twelve children from the inside out with soap and brushes as if they were washing clothes.

Wait until a group of small children are dressed in new clothes (the products produced by the Fuxing Textile Factory, like sacks with sleeves, are made of coarse cloth. When you wear it, put it on your head, and then tighten the hemp rope around your waist. After that, they were organized to eat.

Eleven-year-old Mo Datou is the leader of this group of children. These twelve children are all children who have no father, no mother, and no one cares. Ordinary people do not have much food in stock, and often when a famine occurs, the elderly adults who eat a lot will starve to death first.

Yes, in modern society, there are many people who can live healthily for more than ten days without drinking water and not eating. However, there are prerequisites for this situation. Modern people do not have the problem of malnutrition, and the vast majority of modern people are often overnourished. However, this was not the case with the ancient people, especially the ancient commoners.

Judging from the situation in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the common people were generally malnourished. In the absence of famine, they were in a state of semi-starvation. Once there is a famine, it will not take long, at most four or five days, for one person to starve to death. The children that Mo Datou was carrying were already starving to death by their parents and brothers.

In the whole Li family shop, except for the landlord's family, they brought the grain and soft into the county early together. The rest of the family, after starving to death by a third, were also forced to become displaced people, and now gather outside the county town to die.

Mo Datou himself was an orphan. As an orphan, he was able to live to the age of eleven by begging and other methods, and his ability to survive was very strong. As a beggar, Mo Datou has accumulated an animal instinct in his eleven years of life. As early as March and April, he foresaw that this year would be a famine. After that, he tried his best and slowly stored some food.

Relying on this bit of food, and the ability he has cultivated to catch fish by the river and hunt in the mountains, he has not only persevered until now, but also intermittently collected more than a dozen new orphans like him. But even so, Mo Datou and the other orphans had already run out of ammunition and food three days ago. It wasn't until today, when the Ba'ath Army suddenly appeared, that the children had some hope of survival.

Whether it is an adult or a child, whether it is a family or an orphan, in this day and age, when you see a large group of people organized into a team, the first reaction is the same, that is, fear.

Not to mention the scale of more than 1,000 people in the two-person battalion of the Renaissance Army. It is a team of dozens of people, and it is difficult for the vast majority of ancient people to see. You see, when the ancients talked about the pomp and circumstance of a certain family, the pomp and circumstance was very large, referring to a large number of people, not how many cars were dispatched by his family.

However, compared with the terrible hunger, the terrible nature of a large army of organized and disciplined troops, which is clearly disciplined, and who act with a clear system of rules, is markedly less terrible.

As the leader of the orphans, Mo Datou still maintained a certain alertness, and he did not lead everyone to beg directly. Based on his experience, he led everyone to secretly enter the garrison of the revival army after dark and quietly get something to eat.

Originally, he was going to lead everyone to wait until it was a little darker, and then sneak in. However, when the Renaissance Army was eating, the smell of food wafting out broke Mo Datou's plan. Not only those young children, but also himself, was also disturbed by the fragrance and touched it early.

Speaking of which, this group of children, under the leadership of Mo Datou, who is half beggar, half hunter and half fisherman, has done quite well in infiltrating and infiltrating. At least they weren't spotted by the Ba'ath Army's watchtower, and they were eventually spotted by a wolfdog with a patrolling soldier as they approached the edge of the first barbed wire.

Hunger is the greatest challenge to human dignity. This sentence is quite literate, and what he says is quite realistic. Although both men and women, the twelve children were quite lost in their souls by the purification procedure that had just been carried out. However, when each of them received a bowl of paste with luncheon meat, they all forgot about the humiliating experience just now, and devoured it.

The hygienist who watched them eat was quite careful, and the paste was relatively thin and had already cooled. Looking at their eating appearances, these young women, who had just left the life of the homeless people, were also moved by a little compassion. The oldest, the head nurse who once had a child, comforted them warmly.

Wang Shuhui felt a little uncomfortable when he saw these dozen children wearing very fat pullover robes and straw sandals on their feet. To be honest, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although Wang Shuhui had seen a lot of pitiful appearances, he was very much like the ordinary people of African refugees in the modern media. However, it was the first time he had seen such a young refugee child.

You know, under normal circumstances, most of those who can be absorbed into the revival will be young adults who have already been eliminated once or several times. Such children will seldom be able to persevere in the midst of famine until they are absorbed by the Revivah.

Wang Shuhui helped the group of kneeling children up one by one, with a little smile on his face, and asked softly about their identities. However, except for the eldest child named Mo Datou, who could reply clearly, the other children couldn't understand the words because they were too young or afraid.

He asked the guard company to take the other children down and place them, leaving a big head alone for questioning.

Only then did Wang Shuhui learn that the drought in Songzi County began in April and May. For two whole months in April and May, there was no rain in Songzi County. In June, the landlords and their families fled into the county seat. The rest of the people had been hungry since June, and by the end of June, when many people began to starve to death, the entire Li family shop began to flee.

Now, in the place of Lijiadian, there are only a group of children led by Mo Datou, so many living people.

Let people take away Mo Datou, Wang Shuhui determined two things. The first is that the current situation in Songzi County is not very good, and the vast majority of people have become disaster victims. The second is that the rich landlords and wealthy families brought grain, gold and silver, and they were all concentrated in the county seat of Songzi County.

Wang Shuhui walked out of the tent and looked in the direction of Songzi County in the north. Looking at the dark night scene, Wang Shuhui began to sneer in his heart.

In the dark, Wang Shuhui's smiling face looked particularly hideous
