Section 38: Cold and Wisdom Prevails
That day and twilight now needed a lot of food every day, and a huge marching pot full of rice was not enough for her to eat, but fortunately, Yun Ye's convoy never stopped people from eating, as long as you can eat, no one cares how much you eat, but it is not allowed to be wasted.
A well-washed little girl is always so pleasant, and the cook often watches her take away the huge pot with a sweet "brother" voice, and then shake her head and cook another pot of rice. There was no shortage of her pot of rice in the convoy either.
She always seemed to be hungry, and every time she returned to Yun Ye, she stepped on the meal, not only did she eat unsightly, but she also secretly filled her arms with dried cakes, which aroused Yun Ye's curiosity, how could a little girl eat so many things?
When she came to her tent, Yun Ye knew that she was breaking the bread in her arms and distributing it to a dozen Turkic children in the tent. When they saw Yun Ye coming in, they were like frightened sheep, and they all hid behind that sunset at once.
Li Jing is reducing the ration of the captives, this is understandable in the case of heavy snow blocking the road, if it wasn't for finding a pine forest yesterday, all the people probably wouldn't have a hot meal to eat, you must know that the day before yesterday to cook, Yun Ye ordered to dismantle two climbing plows, and use the wood to make a fire, so that everyone can have hot food.
Without thinking about the tragic situation of the captive camp and the miserable experience of the rescued Han slaves, Yun Ye could imagine how Li Jing would treat the Turkic captives.
Yun Ye dragged the panicked Twilight out of the tent and took her to the Han slaves, where Sun Simiao was treating the wounds of the Han slaves.
It was hell on earth, they were as thin as skeletons in human skin, and the women were even more miserable, and the erosive ones were exposed to the light of the sky, and they seemed to have no sense of shame, and let the auxiliaries apply ointment to their wounds, and the air was filled with the stench of decay.
Sun Simiao glanced at the twilight coldly, then turned his head and continued to inject a person who was desperately eating, but couldn't swallow it anyway.
The twilight of the day trembled and terrified. She understood why these people had become what they were, and she was afraid that Yun Ye would return her anger on those children.
Called an auxiliary soldier who knew Turkic dialect. Yun Ye said, "Tell her every word of mine." The auxiliaries nodded in agreement.
"Every wound on the body of these people in front of you will need to be repaid by the destruction of the Turks, whose barbaric habits are destined for a massacre. And it can't be changed. You are lucky, but I hope that this luck will only be kept on you, and that you will not take in other Turks, who are destined to be punished, otherwise it will be unfair to them. After Yun Ye finished speaking, he left after speaking, he had been to this place twice, he didn't have Sun Simiao's tenacious nerves like a tightrope, every time he saw it, he had the urge to kill all the Turks.
Back to the tent. That sunset also came back with her head down, and she was prostrate at Yun Ye's feet. I don't know what I'm muttering.
Yun Ye leaned down and stroked the long hair of the twilight, and could only let out a sigh, the hatred was too deep. There is no possibility of reconciliation, the Turks always think that as long as they admit their mistakes, the Central Plains Dynasty will forgive their mistakes, but this time it will not be, because the emperor of the Central Plains is Li Er, and he also has the blood of the Hu people. He knew too much about the habits of the Hu people, and he clearly knew that the Hu people had not undergone the baptism of blood. It will not surrender, only the strong are respected on the grassland.
Yun Ye has never changed his mentality, he always looks at the Hu people from the perspective of the future, those cruel scenes are too far away from him, this will be witnessed with his own eyes, he put away his excess compassion, in fact, the grassland does not need compassion. …,
In the end, Yun Ye didn't take those children back to the prisoner camp, he acquiesced in the approach of that sunset, did not encourage or oppose it, this kind of soft-hearted heart is only for children, he really can't be hard-hearted, this is the sequelae brought to him by later generations.
Li Jing didn't seem to be going to wait, he selected 10,000 strong soldiers, all cavalry, he was going to brave the snow to go to Jieli's camp, Zhang Gongjin stayed behind, once Li Jing succeeded, he would take the camp slowly towards Yinshan.
Yun Ye handed over all the biscuits in the convoy to Li Jing, and also gave the 10,000 soldiers coarse sewn sheepskin gloves, and Yun Ye accepted all the humiliated Han women, and when sewing gloves, even the weakest women struggled to get up, and rushed to make them by the fire day and night.
He Shao offered beef jerky, divided them into small pieces, and then packed them in a burlap bag, and the sausages were also offered by him, which was highly appreciated by Li Jing. Yun Ye stir-fried the flour in a big pot, to make them into fried noodles, he had never made this thing, he had only heard of it, no matter what, as long as it was cooked, anyway, the sergeants ate pig food, and their military food could not be seen, a sticky pot, put it in the rice bowl is the same as snot, and it is also called "soup cake".
Since soup cakes can be eaten and devoured, there is no reason why such fried noodles will be unappetizing, first put a lot of butter, wait until it melts, then pour the flour into it, stir-fry it back and forth with a sapper shovel, and finally add finely ground salt, until the flour is fried and yellow, then stop.
Li Jing washed a bowl with boiling water, he was very satisfied with the taste, and immediately the whole army began to make zuò, rations for 10,000 people for twenty days, Yun Ye did not dare to be the slightest sloppy, and sampled the biscuits, sampled the jerky, and did not even let go of the sausages, a large number of sausages that were thrown away made He Shao feel painful, just because he found a few horsehairs, he threw hundreds of catties of sausages into the snow, saying what kind of waste products.
Li Jing couldn't bear it, there were occasionally some hair and other things in the food he ate, and it was not uncommon for him to have rats floating in the rice pot when the days were difficult. He steamed a large pot of sausages that were thrown away by Yun Ye, ate them with relish, and shouted loudly, saying that it was delicious.
This is obviously to dismantle the stage, He Shao's chin is about to rise to the sky, and he is holding a scrapped sausage and eating a mouth full of oil, which makes those soldiers drool. There is no market for food hygiene and epidemic prevention regulations here. Yun Ye could only watch as those bastards who didn't know what to call were roasted and eaten on the fire with a sausage.
There were times when they regretted it, when the poisoned rice and gutter oil filled their dinner tables, Yun Ye wanted to see their expressions of wanting to cry without tears. Now that the material is too scarce, it can even be said to be poor, Yun Ye doesn't understand why Li Er set the price of each bucket of rice at three cents, is there really a lot of food and hasn't gone out?
Why are there still so many beggars? So many hungry people? Zhenguan is just an illusion, an illusion that fattened the wealthy and suffered the people.
Yun Ye asked the women to make some knee pads, and made a pair of wolf skins for Li Jing, and his rheumatism in his later years made him lie in bed for ten years.
The grassland after the snow stops can be described as dripping into ice, it is too cold, the tent does not play any role at all, the north wind blows, the cold enters the bone marrow, and some people begin to freeze to death, sleep at night, and become a popsicle the next day, so they are still held by others for warmth, saying that they are squeezed to warm.
Yun Ye looked at the back of his hand, which was swollen like bread, helpless. That day's hands were also frozen and swollen, and she didn't seem to see it, and she still hurried around the barracks as a marmot, looking for food to feed the dozen mouths. …,
Li Jing is looking forward to the cold, the colder he is, the greater his chance of success, Yun Ye has never experienced such a severe cold, he seems to have been shivering from morning to night, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, the person is only two feet away from the fire, his chest is roasted and almost oily, and there is still a cold wind in the back, this is the real fire roasting the chest is warm, and the wind blows the cold behind the back.
He Shao was already burned unconscious, Cheng Chumo deliberately moved over to take care of him, in Yun Ye's opinion, it was to take care of him, purely to find a stove, watching Cheng Chumo sleep with Lao He in his arms, Yun Ye wanted to strangle Cheng Chumo to death.
If he can't think of a way to keep warm, Lao He will die on the grassland, looking at Lao He's chapped lips, Yun Ye fed him a little bit of water with a spoon, he opened his mouth like a baby, wanting to drink more, but his constantly shaking body made Yun Ye unable to pour it in, and the water sprinkled outside was far more than he drank.
No matter how strong a person is, there is a limit, in ancient times when there was a lack of means of keeping warm, this was enough to have a low temperature of minus 30 degrees, and many people would die, and history only recorded Li Jing's success, but not how many people were killed and injured, it seems that those people are just the price that must be paid for victory. The dog put his hand in the crotch of his pants to keep warm, because it is the warmest place in the whole body, in the past, people would be laughed to death, but now no one makes fun of him, his face is rotten, it is frozen to blue and purple, and the snot is frozen on his lips, and they are responsible for chopping wood, and no matter how they cut it these days, they can't keep up with the burning.
Yun Ye didn't know how the Ikismos survived the harsh winter, the winter there must be much colder than now, building a small igloo would really work? There's no way, Yun Ye can only give it a try, and there is no shortage of snow anyway.
He called Cheng Chumo and the two of them took shovels and slowly built the igloo.
"Yezi, will this house made of ice really be warm?" Cheng Chu was so silent that he couldn't even say a complete sentence.
"I've heard the master say it before, but I haven't seen it, now we have to wait for the chief manager to come back, at least for ten days, I don't want to freeze to death, just try, I hope the master is not fooling me," Yun Ye's lips were also full of ice ballast, and his mouth was already unconscious.
"The old man won't lie to our brothers, let's hurry up and get warmer. For the legendary old man, Cheng Chumo is obviously more confident than Yun Ye.
An hour later, when Yun Ye felt that he was about to freeze to death, the snow house was finally built, the door was turned away from the wind, I don't know if it was a psychological reason, or if it really worked, the two felt the warmth they had not seen for a long time.
sprinkled water on the snow room again, and it was frozen into ice in an instant, in fact, Yun Ye's snow house is very simple, that is, pile snow outside the tent, and then pour water to block the cold wind, the brazier burned, and it didn't take long for the whole house to warm up, and the flames were no longer orange outside, but a warm light blue.
Yun Ye carried Lao He into the house and covered him with thick fur, he finally stopped shivering and fell asleep snoring.
