Chapter 82: Sweeping
You have to look around for food, or you will be hungry, and if you are hungry in the snowy weather, then the possibility of freezing to death is increased. However, most of the herbivores hide in a safe place to spend a cold winter after the heavy snow arrives.
The arrival of heavy snow will hide the smell and traces left by herbivores, which will make predators search for food for a longer period of time, sometimes not at all, and must find food in order to survive.
And a large number of human corpses are food in the eyes of wild beasts, maybe a large number of wolves will smell the smell and circle around this house, even if those corpses are bad people, but it does not mean that everyone is happy to see wild beasts bite human corpses.
After discussing with his brother Saburo, Gorou was ready to throw the corpse into a deep ditch a few miles away, so that the beasts would not smell it. Otherwise, after eating the corpse, will it impact the yard? After all, there are still people living in it.
The two brothers discussed it, and then they divided all those who could move into two shifts, one to rest and the other to carry the corpses, but fortunately, after the snow, they could use something like a plow to transport the corpses, which saved a lot of effort.
After Ling Xiao had dealt with the wounded, he came to take a look at the situation and found that many of the corpses had been cleaned up, but he could still see that there were also traces of blood on the ground, on the walls, and in the snow.
If you smell it again, because it is not cleared, there is still a lot of bloody gas, which is not good at all, it will attract evil wolves, and there is no food, then the evil wolves may impact the house, so it is necessary to let people clean up.
And most of the people who can be busy all night, and after eating, they have to prepare to clean up the battlefield, Ling Xiao naturally can't let the rest of the group to do it, so she let those who haven't done much work come out to clean up.
Even the Eighteen Niang were brought to watch, and the Kabuki, who had not done much work, were called to clean up, some were cleaned, and some had to be planed off to minimize the blood stains and make the smell of blood basically unsmellable.
Most of the people who were called after hearing the news were women, and they were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, these were human blood, and they were a little afraid. And although his status is not very high over the years, he has definitely never done such a thing.
Ling Xiao clapped his hands and said, "Everyone has to do it, you can't do nothing." Knowing that someone is working a lot harder than you and that there is nothing to bargain for is something that every single one has to do. β
She planned to clean up herself, even Eighteen Niang had to do the same, those women went to change into the simplest clothes one by one, and Ling Xiao told them the reason: to minimize the smell of blood, so that the beast would smell here.
Some people pouted slightly after hearing this, but they still didn't want to do it, Ling Xiao naturally saw her small movements, and said, "Didn't you just tell the reason?" If you don't clean up these places, the smell of blood will attract wolves, would you like to stay with them all the time? β
Along the way, Ling Xiao and Eighteen Niang generally rarely disciplined those girls who sang and danced, making them think that Ling Xiao was very good at talking, so they didn't take Ling Xiao's words to heart from the heart.
Someone was whispering, "How can we do this?" Just let the men do it. And, if you can't get out of here, don't worry about these things at all. β
After she finished speaking, Ling Xiao looked over, couldn't she think that there was a thorn here? Naturally, she also heard these words, she looked at the Kabuki who didn't know whether to live or die, and felt very funny, thinking that they were all good talkers?
No! She knew that she had never been a good talker, and the reason why she didn't accuse them before was because she was a little helpless, and it was because of her that many people left the capital. But the premise is that she is obedient and sensible, and she will open up the net.
"But it's snowing now, how do you leave?" She asked, her voice was very cold, "Don't think that you are the only one who is smart in this world, and everyone else is a fool?" Someone else to do it? So have you thought about it? What did those people do that night? They repelled the robbers, and they had to clean up the battlefield, and they did a lot. β
Su Fei also knew that this smell of blood might attract a large number of beasts to forage for food, so he naturally knew the danger, and the beasts might besiege the residence, who knew if they could withstand it?
But the snow that had stopped overnight had started to snow again, and it was indeed impossible to brave the snow to travel. "Get to work! No one should be lazy, even I will do it, let alone you people, don't think about being lazy. β
After seeing that even the county lord came out to work, those people were a lot more honest, and they felt that they were not as noble as the county lord, but it didn't mean that those people would definitely work honestly, because they had nothing to do with it.
Ling Xiao naturally saw it clearly, and felt a little helpless in his heart, why after telling those people about the most dangerous possibility, there were always people who didn't want to believe it, or thought that it was all a possibility?
Looking at those grinding and chirping people, she wanted to shake her head, feeling that they were hopeless. It seems that those people plan to make a living from singing and dancing all the time, of course, this is a personal choice, Ling Xiao doesn't bother to say anything.
In Ling Xiao's opinion, they definitely have a serious conflict with her ideology, but she didn't say anything more, everyone has the right to choose the path they want to take, but they have to take responsibility after choosing.
Except for the few people who came to make soy sauce, all the people who were called were very serious, and they all wanted to live, because they knew that even if the night was dark, there would be dawn.
Ling Xiao is very satisfied with the attitude of these people: try to do their own things, and when it comes to danger, they know that there may be dangers, and they will do things that are not within their own responsibility.
As for those who probably think it's not their own business, but this is a matter of everyone's life, so why not their own business? Think you're taking advantage? Scold! This kind of person loves it as much as it is.
To put it mildly, if she could go straight to the road, she wouldn't care about cleaning up the bloodstains. But you should stay here for a while, and it is better to be careful to prevent problems.
In addition to the wounded and the people who take care of Ange'er, there are also some people who have to retain their physical strength to prevent emergencies, and they can come out to work.
In this process, Ling Xiao did not exert his full strength, but silently recorded everything, and must put the kind of guy who does not work hard into a special list, so that he can settle accounts in the future.
You must know that this time the work is not for others, but for them to live well, now is not an ordinary stage, now is an extraordinary period, even if you are lazy, you will forgive.
If you don't do it well, you may attract waves of wild beasts, and will the people who live in the courtyard have a good life after the beasts come? At first, I didn't know the reason, but after I reasoned with it, it was still like this.
After Ling Xiao saw that it was almost done, she asked everyone to rest when they should rest, especially Eighteen Niang was also rushed to rest by her, and she took the puppet to do the final repairs to ensure everyone's safety to the greatest extent.
There was a faint wolf howl this night, but most of them were not heard at all, because after a day of labor, everyone was accumulating, and naturally they slept very deeply, and they did not hear the wolf howl at all.
Ling Xiao has always insisted on the benefits of exercising, and soon fell asleep, and after waking up, the whole person was not so uncomfortable, and she also paid special attention to the situation of Eighteen Niang before going to bed.
As a woman, she actually killed Ah Ah with her own hands, will this situation make the little lady have nightmares at night? Fortunately, she felt very good when she went back to rest, and she fell asleep quickly because of fatigue.
While others are fine, others feel a little unbearable. Most of the people got up late the next day, but Ling Xiao didn't care if they got up early or late, this time everyone was very hard.
After three days, the heavy snow began to gradually stop, and their group planned to wait for the snow to stop before going on the road, and at noon Ling Xiao received a notice from Yuzhen that there were outsiders in the vicinity. When Ling Xiao heard this, he climbed to the highest place, looked out, and after a while, he saw a team of people and horses arriving in the wind and snow.
Who is this? She took Ah Wu to greet her, and when she approached, she found that it should be some officers and soldiers, the clothes were relatively uniform, and the horses were also more godlike, not like ordinary people.
The leader is a young man, and his face is covered with snow and wind along the way, and when they see Ling Xiao with particularly bright clothes, they are very surprised, where did this person run from?
They were all vigilant when they looked at them, because they received news that the future princess was being targeted, and just in case, those of them who had just come down from the battlefield kept rushing over.
When everyone saw a person wearing a red cloak in the snow, the first feeling was that this was not a real person, could it be some kind of spirit? No! How can it be a spirit, this is not a legend, but more people are vigilant in their hearts.
How did one person, no, two people get here? However, their first impression of Ling Xiao was very good, they originally thought it was a spirit, but when they saw that tall figure, accompanied by snow.
This way of appearing made them all remember this scene, and seeing Ling Xiao, who looked like a little spirit, made them not feel bored, which made them feel a little wary.
And Ling Xiao saw that they should be very tired, and maybe even sleepy, she went up and hugged her fists and arched her hands: "May I ask where your donors come from?" β
The one at the front of the team was a little surprised, because the other party called them donors, could it be some kind of monks? Later, I found out that she was wearing Taoist clothes and was a monk.
"We are from the Yanwang Mansion." He looked at the person walking across from him clearly, and found that she was wearing a half-section mask on her face, and for a while he felt that the other party was not an ordinary person, and her face was likely to be broken.
"People from the Yan Palace? Are you here to pick up the county lord? Ling Xiao asked, with a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, neither showing that he was a little inflammatory, nor too affectionate.
"Exactly!" The man said, "Excuse me, are you the lord's man?" He dismounted as he spoke, after all, Ling Xiao didn't ride a horse, so she thought it was better to understand slowly, right? Others also dismounted.
They were a little surprised to find that it was a woman who had come to pick them up, and they had braved the cold wind all this time, and now that they had finally found someone, they naturally did not want to ride horses anymore, but planned to walk, wanting to see where the county lord and his party lived.
"Then please follow me." After saying that, Ling Xiao turned around and left, and the others all knew each other, and they all wanted to see where this person would take them? A group of centaurs followed, but with their hands on their weapons.
Of course, at the moment, they were all thirsty and hungry, and they were relieved to see the houses in the distance, and this place also had a place to rest, which made them feel much better when they braved the snow.
When they arrived at the place, they saw San Lang Goro come out, and the two of them looked at this group of officers and soldiers with some surprise, not knowing what kind of people these people were brought over by Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao said to San Lang Goro: "It is said that the people who came to pick up the county lord will find a good place for them to live in a while, and the weather is very bad today, so I will bring them over." β
Gorou said: "Sister, our house can't accommodate such people at all, the people before were very nervous, and now in order to avoid suspicion, it is better to let them live in that courtyard." β
After searching for this time, they found that the place where Ah Yu lived was a good place, and there was food and accommodation in the house, Ling Xiao glanced at the courtyard and nodded, this is quite suitable.
She turned her head and said, "Then please ask this Lang Jun to bring his personal guards here to talk to me, and as for your men, go there to rest for a while, then there is still a lot of food, which should be enough for you to eat." β
As she spoke, she pointed to the location of the small courtyard, and waited for the other party's reply, the other party listened to her words, and looked at the person in charge, and the man looked at Ling Xiao and nodded, signaling his subordinates to do the same.
Although he has never been very talkative, it does not mean that he is very slow. After seeing Ling Xiao, he noticed her eyes and quickly believed her more. In addition, he knew that his subordinates should also be tired, so he should let them rest first, so naturally he did not stop it, so he did it.
"This benefactor, please come in!" Ling Xiao said. It can be seen that the leader is still good-looking, although his skin is a little darker, but as a general, he is naturally not as white as glowing.
"I am He Hui, the eldest son of King Yan." He said. Ling Xiao couldn't help but look at it again when she heard this, because if her memory was good, this was the prince of King Yan, so she said, "Prince of Yan? I didn't expect to come. β
He Hui nodded, he had some doubts in his heart, he didn't know why it was this monk who came forward to greet her, he could see that the people here respected her very much, but they were not respectful enough, and they were also very afraid, why is this?
Just when He Hui was thinking about it, the group arrived at the location of the hall, Ling Xiao already knew a lot about the prince of Yan Wang, the fiancΓ© of Eighteen Niang, and now the whole person looked pretty good, and he could see that he had the righteousness to go into battle to kill the enemy.
Ling Xiao asked people to bring something to drink, and those people sent ginger soup, after walking outside for so long, they still had to drive away the cold first, and after serving the ginger soup, the personal guard first picked up a bowl and poured it down.
