At noon on the fourth day of the first lunar month, the first batch of grain convoys sent by the "Jingyuan" arrived at the camp of the homeless camp. When bags of grain were brought down the truck, all the displaced people finally believed that what Zhang Weixin said was true. So, under the intentional leadership of Gu Anjia, nearly 1,000 people knelt down in front of Zhang Weixin, thanking this "living bodhisattva" who saved people from fire and water.

Zhang Weixin was caught off guard by the reaction of the displaced people, and he returned the salute with his fists and asked them to get up. and personally stepped forward to help up the old man who asked him a question yesterday. But he could help one or two, but not a hundred or two hundred, and the homeless people still respectfully bowed to him before they got up from the ground.

Xie also said, the ceremony is also done, and it is time to start distributing food and daily necessities. Gu Anjia and more than a dozen representatives of the displaced people did this for themselves, and Zhang Weixin and other traversers didn't have to do it themselves, they just needed to stand aside and watch.

The team leading the east and west was led by a part of the young men led by Chang Shengjun, and the soldiers of the pioneer battalion led by Wang Baoshan were responsible for maintaining order, but there was no chaos. The displaced people lined up in a line and received them from the front of the company in turn. The supplies are distributed on a household-by-household basis, and for each copy, someone will register to prevent people from receiving them repeatedly.

After receiving the things, most of the displaced people would bow and thank Zhang Weixin and others standing in the back, and say some New Year's greetings. Only the displaced people who were about to be driven away did not give these individual "living bodhisattvas" a smile, and after taking their things, they usually hurriedly left the distribution point and returned to their quarters to prepare a full meal for themselves.

However, to Zhang Weixin and the others' surprise, although those displaced people who were about to be driven away should be regarded as enemies with themselves, except for a very few particularly hard-hearted people, basically no one gave up receiving the things they were distributed. In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand that although these things are given by the enemy, they can be used to save lives after all. If you don't want it, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to go out of Xishan, and you will have to starve to death and freeze to death on the road. At this time, saving one's life is far more important than revenge.

Due to the large number of displaced people, the distribution of materials has to be registered one by one, so the distribution speed is not fast. Just when Zhang Weixin was a little tired of seeing it and was about to go back to the wooden house to rest for a while, the performance of the two children caught his attention. The two children are a boy and a girl, the boy is younger, estimated to be seven or eight years old, and the girl is older, looking eleven or twelve years old. Judging by their behavior, this should be a pair of sisters and brothers.

The reason why the two siblings attracted Zhang Weixin's attention was because they seemed to have come to receive the supplies by themselves, and there were no adults to follow. Second, when the sisters and brothers were receiving the supplies, their eyes were full of hatred that should not belong to their age. Zhang Weixin believes that if eyes can kill, the sister and brother have already killed themselves and the rest of the team several times.

Moreover, Zhang Weixin also saw that the sister and brother were very stubborn, which can be seen from their refusal to allow the person in charge of distributing the supplies to help them straighten the already crooked pockets on their backs. Although the bag of grain plus other daily necessities was more than 20 catties, it was quite difficult for their thin bodies to carry, but the sisters and brothers would rather grit their teeth and insist on it themselves than need others to help.

With such a special young brother, Zhang Weixin couldn't help but pay attention, he called Gu Anjia to his side, pointed to the sister and brother who were struggling to walk back, and asked, "Brother Gu, do you know those two little dolls?" ”

Gu Anjia glanced in the direction of Zhang Weixin's finger, and replied respectfully: "Back to the seventh master, these two doll villains know each other, and they are a pair of children of the villain's original worship of the eldest brother Zhou Yuan." My sister's name is Zhou Yihan, and she is twelve years old this year. The younger brother's name is Zhou De'an, and he is eight years old this year. ”

I heard that it was the children of Zhou Yuan, the mastermind of the night attack on "Jingyuan", Zhang Weixin understood that this sister and brother would hate them so much. He nodded, and asked again, "Is there no one else in that Zhou Yuan's family?" How do you get two little children to pick up things by themselves? ”

Gu Anjia couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said: "The seventh master doesn't know, Zhou Yuan was originally a family of five, and the couple escaped from the Han Kingdom with a pair of children and Zhou Yuan's father. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuan's father and mother died of a serious illness on the way to escape, and only Zhou Yuan struggled here with a pair of children. Now Zhou Yuan has lost his life again, and the other homeless people know that Zhou Yuan is the mastermind of the robbery from the mountain, and they are afraid of upsetting the seventh master, so no one dares to get close to this sister and brother anymore. Moreover, as far as the villains know, not only did the homeless who did not participate in the raid not get close to them, but even those who had relatives who participated in the raid did not want to get close to them. Therefore, now only the sister and brother depend on each other, which is very pitiful. ”,

Zhang Weixin listened to Gu Anjia's words, on the one hand, he also felt that the sister and brother were very pitiful, and on the other hand, he asked with some doubts: "This sister and brother are indeed quite pitiful, but I think it is a little strange, it is normal for those homeless people who did not participate in the downhill robbery to be estranged from them, but the family members of the homeless people who participated in the robbery Weishenme are also estranged from them, which is a bit unreasonable." Supposedly, they have a common enemy, so they should share the same hatred, right? How could they watch this sister and brother be lonely and ignore them? ”

When Gu Anjia heard this, he waved his hand and said, "The Seventh Master doesn't know, although the relatives of those homeless people died at the hands of the Seventh Master and several other masters, in fact, there are very few people among them who really hate the Seventh Master. In their opinion, although it was the lords and their guards who killed their relatives, the most fundamental reason for this consequence was that Zhou Yuan encouraged everyone to go down the mountain to rob. If Zhou Yuan didn't encourage everyone to go, there would be no conflict with your lords, and their relatives would not die. Therefore, what they really hate is not the masters, but that Zhou Yuan.

But Zhou Yuan is dead, and no matter how much they hate him, they can't help him, so their goal naturally turned to Zhou Yuan's child. As far as the villain knows, not only ordinary homeless people, but even the family members of the sworn brothers before the villain hate these sisters and brothers to the core. Especially the villain's second sister-in-law, she can't wait to eat them. Think about it, if you hate it like this, will they still help this sister and brother? Moreover, the villain estimates that if we don't control the situation here, but let these homeless people take care of themselves, it is difficult to say whether these sisters and brothers can still have their lives. ”

Listening to Gu Anjia's introduction, Zhang Weixin couldn't help frowning. Although Zhou Yuan and himself are enemies, his children are not at fault. Those homeless people did not dare to seek revenge on themselves, but they took out their anger at two children, which is really despicable. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Weixin said, "Brother Gu, do you see if there is any way to help this sister and brother." After all, it was their father who was not at fault, not to mention that their father had already paid for his sin with death. ”

Zhang Weixin's request made Gu Anjia stop, and he said with some embarrassment: "Seventh Master, the villain looks at this matter a little difficult." You've seen the performance of this sister and brother just now, and I'm afraid they won't accept it if we want to help directly. Let the other outcasts help, the siblings are now hated to death by almost all the outcasts who will be expelled, and no one will be willing to help them at all. Even if someone can agree to help, it is probably not a good idea. The villain can say so, if the sister and brother rely on themselves, there may be a glimmer of life. If you entrust them to others, I'm afraid that you won't even be able to get out of this western mountain. Unless we send someone to follow us all the way, but this is impossible. ”

"Yes," Zhang Weixin also knew that this matter was difficult to handle, and sighed, "This matter is indeed a bit tricky." In the final analysis, although we and they are both Han Chinese, we belong to two countries. No matter what, we can't send them all the way back to Han. ”

Gu Anjia saw that Zhang Wei couldn't bear it, and comforted: "Actually, Seventh Master, you don't have to worry too much about this. There are many people suffering in the world, and how many can you save. Besides, even if you really send their siblings back to Han, these two children may not be able to survive on their own. ”

Although there was little hope, Zhang Weixin was still a little unwilling, and he asked again: "Is there not a single one of these displaced people who does not hate them, and they can accept it?" ”

Gu Anjia thought about it, suddenly his eyes lit up, and said, "If you want to say that there is such a person, there is really one." ”

"Who?"

"This person is none other than the lame Chang Shengjun."

"Him?"

"Not bad," Gu Anjia explained, "In the past, although Chang Shengjun and Zhou Yuan didn't convince anyone, the two of them didn't have any conflicts in line with the principle of 'well water does not interfere with river water'. According to the cronies left in the mountain by the villain, after the villain waited for a day and a night to plunder and did not return, some people began to worry that something had happened to the person who came down the mountain. There were a few guys who usually didn't deal with Zhou Yuan very well, and felt that Zhou Yuan and the others were only afraid that they would be more auspicious, so they instigated the homeless people to find Zhou Yuan and the villain's family members.

At that time, the situation was quite chaotic, other people's families were better, even if the man in charge of the house was not there, there were other adults who could reason with the homeless. Only Zhou Yuan's family, because there are only two children left, is isolated, and Zhou Yuan is the mastermind, so he naturally became the target of everyone. Where have the two little dolls seen this formation, they were so frightened that they cried. At this time, Chang Shengjun couldn't watch it anymore, so he came out to say a few words of justice for the sister and brother. The troublemakers were somewhat afraid of Chang Shengjun, so they didn't dare to embarrass the two children. Because of this, the siblings are grateful to Chang Shengjun and trust at the same time. ”,

"I see," Zhang Weixin nodded, "In this way, if Chang Shengjun is allowed to come forward, the two sisters and brothers will not refuse his help." ”

"Exactly," Gu Anjia said, "Could it be that the Seventh Master plans to let Chang Shengjun send these sisters and brothers back to the Han Kingdom?" ”

Zhang Weixin shook his head and said, "Definitely." As you just said, the two of them may not be able to survive when they return to Han. In that case, why bother with so much trouble. If you already have a plan for this, you don't have to worry about it. ”

Seeing that Zhang Weixin had already made a decision, Gu Anjia didn't say anything anymore, and after confessing to Zhang Weixin, he went to continue the distribution of supplies.

Zhang Weixin stood there and thought for a while, then returned to the big wooden house, contacted the "Jingyuan" through the radio, and reported his thoughts. After getting the consent of the other side and getting a letter from "Qingyuan" the next day, Zhang Weixin asked Chang Shengjun to find him, talked to him in the big wooden house for a while, and instructed him something. Chang Shengjun nodded while listening, and he hugged his fist to Zhang Weixin and said, "Mr. Zhang, rest assured, this is a good thing to do good and accumulate virtue, and I will definitely help Mr. Zhang do this." After saying that, Chang Shengjun left the wooden house and returned to his residence to prepare.

Zhang Weixin, who was worried, also came out of the big wooden house, and deliberately went to the vicinity of the Zhou family's sister and brother's residence, looking at the cooking smoke coming out of the simple thatched roof of the Zhou family, he silently wished the two poor little dolls in his heart that they could grow up one day.

Over the next three days, as the convoy brought more and more supplies up the mountain, the mood of the displaced people gradually stabilized. The displaced people who were driven away had basically left the valley, and whether they returned to the Han Kingdom or hid elsewhere was not something that Zhang Weixin and the others needed to consider now. Anyway, everything that needs to be said has already been made clear to them, and if something goes wrong with them because they stay locally, it's no wonder that they cross the team.

With the stabilization of the situation in the camp of the displaced people, there is no need for Zhang Weixin, Zeng Zhilin and others to stay in the mountains. So, on the afternoon of the seventh day of the first lunar month, except for Qian Yuanshan, Liang Ziyue and others who decided to stay to maintain order, other team members and those selected children all went down the mountain with the transport team and returned to the "Jingyuan" in the evening.

At this time, the "Jingyuan" was not as lively as a few days ago, Wang Kunjun and others had returned to the "Qingyuan", and the more than 100 captives had also been brought back to Feilongzhai by a team from the second squadron led by Mutel and Lu Yue. Zhang Weixin gave a brief introduction to Li Junwu and Xu Shao'an about the situation of the displaced people in the mountains, and after handing over the orphans he brought back, he also returned to "Qingyuan" with Yang Xin, Zheng Zhiwei and others the next day. At the same time, Zeng Zhilin, Tang Chao and the main force of the first squadron left, and their destination was Feilongzhai.

After Zhang Weixin returned to "Qingyuan", the first thing he did was to find Wang Kunjun and report to him what had happened in the past few days. After listening to his story, Wang Kunjun said: "You have done a very good job in this matter, Lao Qi, not only so that the team has obtained hundreds of manpower that can work, but also has given the Flying Dragon Pioneer Battalion a foundation for expansion, which can be regarded as a great achievement." ”

Zhang Weixin waved his hand again and again and said: "The fifth brother is overrated, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts, how can it be counted on the head of the brother alone." ”

Seeing that Wang Kunjun was going to praise himself again, Zhang Weixin hurriedly changed the conversation and said, "Fifth brother, the matter on the homeless side is over. It's just that now that there are manpower, the land available for them to cultivate has not yet been settled. We have to let the Ministry of Commerce and Trade hurry up on this matter, otherwise, we may miss the farming in the spring, and our losses will be great. ”

Wang Kunjun said with confidence: "Don't worry, I have already told the old fourteen and them, and when I am busy with the opening of the 'Xiaoyao Building', I will focus on the business of the field." ”

"'Xiaoyao Building'" Zhang Weixin wondered, "What 'Xiaoyao Building'?" ”

"Oh, that's right," Wang Kunjun explained, "The people in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade felt that it was not appropriate to use the name 'Qingxue Building' again, and it was easy to make Xiao Siwen or his concubine feel uncomfortable, so they changed the name of the Qinglou to 'Xiaoyao Building'." ”

After listening to Wang Kunjun's explanation, Zhang Weixin nodded and said, "I see, the old fourteen can really figure it out." ”

The two chatted for a few more idle days, and Zhang Weixin said goodbye and went back to his residence and went to Shijie with his wife.
