Chapter 28: Zhoujia Town
"A group of ordinary outcasts?"
More than a dozen people stood in the dark on the other side of the forest, and they were all ragged and malnourished.
This group of people are men, women, old and young, and they look pitiful, not like they have any skills.
Tian Wu frowned.
Game time is about to break out of the first wave of spring flu around 7 p.m. today.
This is a very sensitive and critical time, and it is definitely not a good thing to suddenly have a large number of people.
Especially these homeless people in tattered and dirty clothes, who are almost the source of infection, and the first people to be killed by the flu.
He is going to Zhoujiazhen today, and he doesn't know what the situation is in Zhoujiazhen, so he doesn't have time to arrange these people, which is a headache.
"Don't you want to take them?"
Zhou Shuixian asked in a whisper beside him, and Tianwu did not answer as a default.
"Take it, it's also a labor force, as long as they have a few full meals, we can do more."
Zhou Shuixian showed a slightly coquettish tone, and hugged Tianwu's left arm with a pair of arms, although there was no cliché to massage with mountain peaks, but it also made Tianwu squint his eyes comfortably.
"But I really don't have time today." Tian Wu sighed.
Zhou Shuixian said: "Build some shacks and let them eat a few full meals to work for us, Brother Tian, if you think they are dirty, just let them live alone in an area." ”
"Why are you talking so straightforwardly?"
Tianwu was a little speechless, and at the same time felt that Narcissus was also a wonderful person this week, and it seemed that the bodhisattva's heart was actually not a good thing.
But it's understandable, after all, it's normal for a young lady from a big family to be a little careful.
"Okay, I'll arrange it."
Tian Wu nodded helplessly, now he has no time to catch up with the imminent outbreak of the flu, and he really can't help it, otherwise he will have a crooked mouth in the next time.
"It depends on how many people in the village can survive this flu."
Taking a breath lightly, Tianwu asked Old Lady Chen and Old Man Ding to arrange the affairs of the village when he was away, and the old man was a little better at management, after all, a lifetime of experience was there.
A total of 12 homeless people, Tianwu took out some green salt and corn for Chen Laoyu, and at the same time, Ma Wu Liu Xixuanjing and several people rushed to the river and crackled and beat wildly, hugged dozens of fish and threw them into the bucket, and let them solve breakfast like this.
As for the lunch that hasn't been scheduled yet, there's no way around it, see when they come back, it's okay to be hungry for a few hours.
The raft that Zhao Zhi and they hit yesterday was not strong at all, and it was not enough, and today the raft is to be rebuilt, and the material is bamboo.
With Zhao Zhi, a senior carpenter, everything was arranged properly by him, and the others, including Tianwu, were responsible for running errands.
In less than an hour, three thick rafts were set up and kneaded together with kneaded rattan ropes to lower the water.
One raft was empty, the other two were four people on board, and three rafts began to float down the river, and Tian Wu left the river beach for the first time.
On an April day, and it was not yet noon, the water of the Zhoudao River, which flowed from east to west, was cold.
However, it flows slowly, and the bamboo raft is two-layered, but there is no splash on the bamboo raft, the bamboo raft is surprisingly stable, the two family members take turns paddling, Tianwu and Zhou Shuixian sit in the back, the mood is very good, and there is also the mind to observe the surrounding environment.
It can be seen that the vicinity of this river beach is really a wasteland, and there is no human presence at all.
It is located in the north of Shanbei country, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and there are only a few large towns in the east, and Xizhou is one of the big cities.
"Wild boars, wild asses, and horses, the black giant is a black bear, and the mountains and forests are full of monkeys."
Tianwu counted while looking at it, and what moved him the most were wild horses and black bears, needless to say, black bears were used to chop meat and drink soup to nourish the beauty, and bear skin could also be used to sew leather coats.
Horse is the most important strategic resource in ancient times, there is no one, the loss of the sixteen states of the Northern Song Dynasty has led to the country has no big horse farm, since then the Song court can only use infantry and cavalry of foreign races to fight, the situation is extremely difficult.
If you can tame some wild horses, or even the entire herd, Tianwu's heart is beating wildly, and it feels dreamy to think about the result.
Before the city was built, he assumed that he had cavalry, and he could simply press those senior students to the ground and hang them to death.
Not only Tianwu was drooling, but Ma Wu Liu Xi was also drooling when he looked at the wild horses, and even Zhou Shuixian stared at a red mare motionlessly.
"You can ride a horse?" Tianwu asked in surprise, in his impression, shouldn't everyone be out of the door and not enter.
But then it suddenly became clear that Zhou Shuixian is the daughter of a big family, but she can't have anything to do with everyone's ladies, and people can catch two yellow eels if they have nothing to do, and their skills are skilled.
"Yes! If we can catch these wild horses, I'll let them go for you! Zhou Shuixian said expectantly.
Tian Wu stared at Zhou Shuixian's thighs with ill will, and she curled her legs together with a red face.
He hasn't enjoyed such a good leg, he takes it to the horse every day to rub it, and rides a lot of legs, you ride a head, like a horse, it's a big deal that the village chief will ride you as a horse when the time comes.
The water flow and paddling, the speed of the raft was fast, and after only an hour or so, Zhou Shuixian said that Zhoujiapo had arrived.
Looking at this mountain range that is very gentle but not the many mountains of the Lin River, presumably her family is hidden in these forests, but he didn't stop, and there is no time to look for her family in the forest today.
After another ten minutes, I saw the dense streets of houses from afar, and Zhoujia Town arrived!
"Who's coming?"
Along the river, some fierce men wearing green turbans appeared, running and shouting along the raft.
"I'm here for the market." Tianwu replied that at this time, Zhou Shuixian had already self-aware to "disfigure" himself with the rouge gouache that he had prepared a long time ago, and dressed up as a yellow-faced woman.
"This Zhoujia Town is now the territory of our big knife village, if you dare to disturb the market, my brothers' big knives are not easy to talk to!"
These big men put down their cruel words and left, listening to Tianwu was speechless for a while, damn a group of bandits who went down the mountain to rebel and talked to Lao Tzu about discipline?
But this is also a good thing, which shows that Dadaozhai is indeed governing Zhoujia Town with heart no matter what.
The raft landed on a simple dock, and as soon as the eight men landed, a group of bandits wearing green scarves came to search and interrogate them.
"Take it, take it."
Tianwu depressedly took out almost a tael of broken silver and threw it into the hands of the little leader, the little leader looked like you are smart, and proudly took the minions away.
The order of Zhoujia Town is really good, it seems that there are a lot of people, the market is full of stalls left and right, and most of the stores are also in normal business, but some bandits from Dadaozhai who walk by from time to time are a bit of a bad scenery.
Zhou Shuixian observed for a long time and said with a smile: "It seems that the king of this big knife village really wants to rebel, and Zhoujia Town is not much more prosperous than before they went down the mountain." ”
Tianwu looked at the vendors around him, the purpose of coming today is very clear, that is, to purchase, the more orderly Zhoujiazhen is, the happier he is.
