Chapter 61: Customs
"It's not a good thing, it's simple because it's ugly." Liu Jun said, and then took out a half-body armor, which was riveted by several very thin pieces of iron, covering the front chest and waist and abdomen, but the back was empty.
It only has defense in the front, not in the back, and because it is thin, it is very light. This is Liu Jun knocked out in a very short time yesterday, after quenching and carburizing, the protective power is not weak, mainly it is particularly light, Zilong put a set on his body, and immediately realized the benefits of this armor.
The front is not the back, so the soldier can only move forward bravely, and it is easy to die when he turns around and flees. Because there is only half of the nail piece, it is half the lighter.
After a few slashes with a knife, I found that the defense is not weak, and unless you use a longbow and heavy arrows, you may not be able to shoot through.
"Is this equipment enough? If you're willing to help, you'll have one set of equipment each, and it's all yours. ”
As soon as Liu Jun finished speaking, Zilong and the others' eyes instantly lit up, and they all turned to Ziqingshu and looked at him expectantly.
With so much equipment hooked, those previous difficulties are a fart.
Ziqingshu smiled bitterly, nodded helplessly, and said that it was all about this, if he still refused, he would offend Liu Jun.
With so much equipment to cooperate, it was not difficult to take down a cottage composed of a mere rabble, but he was a little disappointed, because Liu Jun did not rely on his orders to get help.
Just by throwing out pieces of equipment, it can be said that Zilong and others can be moved to work for her, and he can't play a decisive factor in this process, which makes him a little uncomfortable.
That night, when everyone had discussed the matters of all parties and dispersed, only Liu Jun was left to change the medicine for Ziqingshu, Ziqingshu finally couldn't help but ask: "Why do you have to fight the cottage?" ”
Zi Qingshu wanted to ask if she had a deep hatred with the bandits, but remembering the scene when Liu Jun was angry, he didn't express this meaning interestingly.
"Grab food." Liu Jun gave an answer that he didn't expect.
"Grain?" Ziqingshu frowned: "If it's just for food, I can write a letter by hand and take it to the county seat, a hundred stones is still okay, there is no need to take risks." ”
Liu Jun shook his head: "No, the county seat has been closed down, and there is no food that can't be transported, what if you can't get it?" ”
"Well, I guess so." Hearing the lockdown, Ziqingshu was not sure.
Liu Jun smiled: "This kind of thing that is related to human life, I don't dare to pin my hopes on probabilities such as 'should' and 'maybe'."
As he spoke, he helped Ziqingshu up, came to the windowsill and gestured out: "Do you see the old woman sitting under the eaves of the porch?" ”
"See, with kind eyebrows and good intentions, smiling, she should be a very happy old woman." Ziqingshu observed and said.
"Her name is Jiu Po, she is sixty-five, do you see what she sews on her hands? Do you know what that is? Liu Jun said.
"Clothes, huh?" Ziqingshu said hesitantly, isn't that clothes?
Eight of the nine women sitting under the eaves of the porch were sewing clothes, what was not clothing? But hearing Liu Jun ask so deliberately, he was not sure.
"Shroud, she sewed shroud, two days ago she came to tell me that when the first snow in winter is over, she will go into the mountains, but her son died at the hands of the barbarians, no one sent her, I hope I can find someone to send her, this is the village since ancient times, in the famine year." Liu Jun's tone was flat, but he said expressionlessly.
"Into the mountains? What do you do in the mountains after the first snow falls? Zi Qingshu was puzzled at first, and then suddenly thought of a possibility, his eyes widened in disbelief, and a cool breath rushed from the tail vertebrae to the heavenly spirit cover.
Since ancient times, in the famine years, the elderly who have no productive capacity will go into the mountains and wastelands on their own or under the burden of their children, ...... ancient China ruled the country with filial piety to avoid many similar human tragedies, but in the borderlands, mountains, plateaus, high latitudes and other places with harsh living environments, similar customs are still maintained.
Liu Jun was also incredulous when she first heard it, especially when Jiu Po told him in that smiling tone, which made Liu Jun feel that she just wanted to go into the mountains to pick some wild vegetables.
If the food problem cannot be solved, then Lijia Village will have to make a choice, whether to abandon some of the elderly or starve everyone to death together.
