After the officers and soldiers went, the killing on the plains finally came to an end.

Displaced people appeared from all corners of the plains, searching for the bodies of their own family members, and some dared to collect them from the corpses to see what was available. And many more people were frightened and hid in one place and did not dare to move a single step.

Li Chongjiu, Tan Zong led the brothers of the 7,000 villages, walking slowly through the forest, countless crows in the dense forest stood on the trees, constantly croaking, waiting for the feast in the future,

Li Chongjiu watched the homeless people walk through in rags, like ghosts underground, their eyes were empty and lifeless.

Everywhere you can see women holding their husbands and sons, wailing and crying bitterly, and there are many men who take advantage of the chaos to rob and grab those lone women who have lost the protection of their families, and forcibly intercourse in this wilderness.

No one has come out to uphold justice, and the so-called justice is also a joke. Violent crimes occur in broad daylight.

The sky is like lead, and it is getting more and more gloomy, and the west wind is sweeping the ground, and looking at this posture, there will be a heavy snow tonight.

Li Chongjiu shook his head, if it is covered with heavy snow, in addition to men, there is still a chance, in the troubled times, those women and children who are slightly weaker will freeze most of them to death tonight.

Even if there is no snow for a few days, these women and children will starve to death because they have no food, or they will be used as food.

At the moment, Li Chongjiu just wanted to leave this place quickly and walk through the forest, when he suddenly heard bursts of crying.

Li Chongjiu turned his head to look and saw two or three hundred cloth-clothed people gathered in one place in the forest, crying bitterly.

Li Chongjiu's sharp eyes saw that among the group of people, Pingping, the mute girl he rescued yesterday, and his mother. As for Pingping's father, the big man was covered in blood with more than a dozen people at the moment, and he was placed on the ground side by side without breathing.

The footsteps of Li Chongjiu and his entourage as they passed by immediately alarmed them.

As soon as this group of people saw Li Chongjiu and their team passing by, many of them exchanged heads and ears in a rustling manner, and after a while, these people all ran out together.

The mediocre mother even puffed, knelt in front of Li Chongjiu, and said loudly: "General, general, I beg you to take us in, the men in our village are almost dead, there are only so many people now, we are willing to be cattle and horses, the general will take us in." ”

This woman spoke in a disordered manner, and her preface did not match the afterword, but she expressed one meaning and asked Li Chongjiu to take them in, otherwise their village, which would lose most of its strong men, would have an absolutely worrying end.

Li Chongjiu turned his head to see that the people in the village had brought more than 30 young women from behind to the front.

Those young women showed their posture with a reluctant look, wanting to add some capital to themselves, and Pingping's mother was undoubtedly the most beautiful of these women, her eyes were low, tears flashed, but her hands were tightly hugging Pingping.

When Li Chongjiu heard the brothers beside him, many of them swallowed their mouths. On this side, Li Chongjiu had not yet spoken, and on the other side, a group of three or four hundred people gathered up.

The war relied on men, and Li Yuan's officials and soldiers were worried about the reunion of the thieves, so most of the killings were young and strong men, so among the three or four hundred displaced people, most of them were old and weak women and children.

The old and weak women and children have no men to rely on, and they cannot survive in the troubled times.

The women were numb, their husbands, their children, their fathers, many of whom had died in the previous war. At the moment, at the instigation of their fellow villagers, they undressed themselves and exposed their bodies, showing themselves to Li Chongjiu and them like white lambs.

"General, general, please, please, take us in."

"These women, as long as you can see them, take them away casually, even if they follow us, they will starve to death."

"No, we came first."

"At this time, it doesn't matter who comes first and who comes last."

"Come, touch it, what a good body, they are all yellow flower girls."

In the prosperous era of peace, the rich had three wives and four concubines, and the marriage was basically not related to the poor family, and now women have become the goods to be taken and demanded. Li Chongjiu said in his heart, is this the end of the world? Even women are inflated.

A cacophony swelled through the air.

Tan Zong couldn't help but persuade: "Senior brother, just take them in." ”

"yes." Tan Zong's decision attracted a chorus of echoes from Li Chongjiu's subordinates.

They don't want to think that they haven't eaten for two days, and they still have to support hundreds of people, not to mention that there is a distance between the elders and the elders in Taiyuan County.

Li Chongjiu's subordinates echoed it, as a person from Shaolin Temple, everyone has not been numbed by this troubled scene in their hearts, and they have a good intention in their hearts.

Just as everyone was talking about it, suddenly there was a scream, and I saw a disheveled woman not far away, screaming and running straight, and behind this woman, there were three or four big men with smiling faces.

Seeing that she was cornered, the woman hit her head directly on the tree, and immediately her blood collapsed.

"That's enough," Li Chongjiu's eyes were about to split when he saw this scene, and he immediately shouted, "Take these three or four big men down for me, I want to live." ”

Li Chongjiu's voice paused, and Tan Zong immediately chased after him with five or six people.

At that moment, Li Chongjiu said loudly: "Listen, folks, I have no food for you to eat, no clothes for you to wear, and I may not be able to protect you in case of danger, are you still willing to go with me?" ”

"Yes! Willing! ”

Hundreds of people did not hesitate to say that now that their lives were decided, even the slightest hope was in their hands.

"Okay then, just spread what I just said, and in half an hour, gather all those who are willing to go with us, and be here together." Li Chongjiu said simply at the moment.

Half an hour later, in the forest near Li Chongjiu, more than 3,000 people gathered in one go.

This is far beyond Li Chongjiu's expectations, he underestimated the survival of the people, although he clearly told them that he could not give them anything, but everyone was still willing to follow him.

For thousands of years, the common people have endured harsh taxes, corrupt officials, all kinds of exploitation, all kinds of oppression, and even today, there are poisonous rice, Sudan dyes, gutter oil, melamine, all the people have only one basic purpose, that is, to live.

As for the quality of life, it is just to live, and there is hope in life.

A pair of hopeful eyes stared at Li Chongjiu. Li Chongjiu had to repeat Fang Cai's words, but there was still no one to disperse, and there were still people who kept gathering.

Li Chongjiu nodded immediately and began the three chapters of the law.

First of all, women are not allowed, violators are killed, Li Chongjiu immediately pushed out the men who committed atrocities, beat them to death in front of everyone, and sentenced them to the canon.

Other rules are simply said, such as killing people, not hurting people and looting, acting together and listening to commands, these ordinary people are illiterate and illiterate, and most of the rules they can't remember.

After hastily establishing the rules, Li Chongjiu immediately began to divide all the people into yellow, small, middle, ding, and old five according to the rules of the imperial court.

The so-called yellow, small, middle, ding, and old five, that is, boys and girls under the age of three are called yellow, four to ten years old are called small, eleven to seventeen are called middle, eighteen to sixty are called ding, and more than sixty are called old. First of all, Li Chongjiu drew out all the men of Ding Zhuang, a total of 313 people.

After Li Chongjiu left two hundred Ding Zhuang, he ordered Tanzong to take fifty Shaolin disciples into the leader, and took them to search in the forest immediately, turned out a weapon that could be used, armed himself first, and at the same time stripped all the complete clothes from the deceased as much as possible, ready to be used for keeping out the cold.

As for Huang, the youngest one has a mother to take care of him, and the orphans who are separated from his family, Li Chongjiu also ordered a single woman to take care of them.

The middle, the elderly, the injured and the sick are specially responsible for taking care of them all the way.

Next, Li Chongjiu ordered people to go to the logging immediately, and chose its strong one as a wooden staff for each person to use on the road in the future, while the rest of the branches were in the forest, and a dozen open places were selected, gathered together, piled together, and lit a fire together.

According to this weather at night, the temperature will definitely be sudden, and it will snow if it is not good, and if it is not properly prepared, these 3,000 displaced people will freeze to death hundreds of people overnight.

Now that the officers and soldiers have left, there is no need to worry about lighting a fire at night and exposing the target, although you can rest assured and bold.

The warm light of the fire was suddenly lit in the forest, and the clothes stripped from the dead were also distributed to the frail children and old people.

Outside the forest, there are men holding wooden sticks to guard, and the people gather around the fire to roast the fire to drive away the chill on their bodies.

There was still a choking sound in the woods.

Li Chongjiu looked at this firelight, and said in his heart that this is the first day of food shortage.
