Chapter 149: Very Merciful
When Zhou Dayong brought the patriarch Zhou Yuandong, the two old ladies in the clan and many people in the village to come over, Zheng Bang had already dissected the corpse that the dog had fished. Mobile M.
It was still a corpse of Qi soldiers, and, judging from the conclusion drawn from Zheng Bang's comprehensive analysis after giving him an autopsy, he should also be the personal soldier of the king of Qi or the prince of Qi.
Zhou Yuandong first carefully inspected Zhou Youqian's corpse, and through the two bean-sized black moles on Zhou Youqian's right forehead, and a red spot on Zhou Youqian's back waist when he was born, coupled with the moire characteristics of Zhou Dayong's underwear, he finally confirmed the corpse of Qian next week.
He ordered people to send Zhou Youqian's body home in a somewhat sad voice, and at the same time, he ordered people to go to Wangjia Village to report Wang Chunhua's funeral.
After finishing this, he began to seriously inquire about the situation of the other two corpses from Zheng Bang.
Zheng Bang told him all the truth.
He was surprised, thought about it carefully, and decided to lead all the adult males in the village who were accustomed to water to go to a place where the water flow was gentle and the water surface was wide in the lower reaches of the river, and chiseled ice to retrieve corpses.
So that those Chu soldiers who unfortunately died in battle down the river, especially those who died in battle like Zhou Youqian and the soldiers in Zhoujia Village, can be properly buried and their souls return to their hometowns.
Zhou Dayong had a good water nature, so he immediately volunteered and went to the lower reaches of the river with Zhou Yuandong.
Xiao Qiongzhi was not very relieved about Zhou Dayong, thought about it, turned his head to Zheng Bang and said: "Uncle, it is more dangerous to dig ice and fish for corpses, I don't want to fish anymore, I plan to follow and watch my second uncle's movements on the shore, so as to find out that something is wrong and notify the patriarch in time." ”
"Just now the five of us were fishing, and there were three of them, and they caught the corpse, which is unlucky, and it doesn't matter if this fish is not caught. I'll go with you. Zheng Bang said, taking out the two fish he had caught before from the wooden barrel and pouring them into the ice cave and releasing them.
At this time, the dog came over with a stone and said to Xiao Qiongzhi very seriously: "Zhi'er, my father is also in the army, my brother and I are afraid that something will happen to him, and we are even more afraid that he will not have moles and spots like the eldest girl's father, in case of an accident, the people in the village will not recognize it." ”
"You and the big hero, take us to the lower reaches of the river to have a look, we know a secret about him, if you see him, you will definitely be able to recognize him."
"Okay." Xiao Qiongzhi patted him and the dog on the shoulder comfortingly.
These two brothers are really getting more and more well-behaved.
Zhou Yuandong led the clansmen in the village to choose the location of digging ice and recovering corpses, which was nearly 1,700 meters away from the lower reaches of the river.
This place, Xiao Qiongzhi once heard the dog and the stone talk about.
Although its water surface is relatively wide, the water is not deep, the deepest point, only about 150cm, fishing things, quite convenient.
Along the way, the snow and ice were thick and the road was slippery, Zheng Bang was afraid that Xiao Qiongzhi, the dog, and the stone would not only not go fast, but also be easy to fall, so he was carrying Xiao Qiongzhi on his back and carrying the dog and stone between his armpits.
When he stopped, he deliberately placed them on a large rock on the bank of the river.
It is condescending here, and it is easy to see the scene on the river, Zhou Yuandong leading the villagers to dig ice and fish for corpses.
Xiao Qiongzhi roughly counted the clansmen who participated in the ice digging and corpses, and there were about seventy people.
Most of them are uncles between 50 and 60 years old, and half-grown children between 14 and 17 years old.
They all had a thick rope tied around their waists, connected to each other, presumably to prevent others from spotting if someone accidentally fell into the water.
In addition to them, there are many young people, middle-aged women, children, and old people in their seventies and eighties, standing on the shore to watch.
Presumably, the vast majority of these people are family members of military members.
It was because they couldn't be relieved that their sons, grandsons, or husbands who were in the army outside the country, and at the same time, like dogs and stones, were worried that if something happened to them, the people in the village would not recognize them, so they rushed over despite the severe cold and wind and snow.
There are many people and great strength, Xiao Qiongzhi only stood on the big rock for a short while, and Zhou Yuandong took the clansmen who were digging ice on the river surface to dig a large ice hole about seven meters long and two meters wide on the river surface.
Next, they took the prepared palladium and began to fish through the hole.
Especially Zhou Dayong, I don't know who gave the palladium in his hand, it is long and big.
He relied on his strength, fished quickly, and his movements seemed to be very violent.
Xiao Qiongzhi hurriedly shouted to him: "Second uncle, fish lightly, don't let the palladium head hurt the corpse floating in the river, and cause secondary injury to the deceased!" ”
"Good!" Zhou Dayong agreed loudly, and immediately slowed down the speed and strength of his subordinates.
The others were not as violent, but at this time, they followed suit.
Among them, a person near Zhou Dayong whispered praise to the uncle next to him: "The little master Bing Xue is smart, thinks things are different from us, is very careful, and very compassionate." ”
"Yes, it is lucky that we can have a little lucky star like a little master in Zhoujia Village." The uncle immediately chimed in.
"I hope Brother Dazhi is okay this time, the little master is so good, but he lost his father early, God has treated her badly enough, and she can't let her lose other relatives anymore." The man next to the uncle said.
"Don't worry, Jiren has his own natural appearance, the little master's father will die, the main reason is that she is not blessed enough, and she can't afford a good child like the little master, Dazhi is a blessed person at a glance, not to mention that his kung fu is still very good, this time it will be fine." Another person next to the uncle said.
"Don't be afraid of 10,000 in case, it's better to ask the heavens to protect Dazhi in our hearts!" Someone else said.
"Good!" Everyone else supported the proposal.
Next, one to ten, ten to hundred, on the river, all the clansmen who participated in the ice digging and corpse fishing began to ask the sky to bless Zhou Dazhi in their hearts.
Zhou Dayong sighed with emotion, not only followed everyone, begged the sky to bless Zhou Dazhi in his heart, but at the same time, he also made up his mind that he must treat Xiao Qiongzhi well, and in the future, listen to her opinions more, don't let her be young, and worry about herself honestly.
"Patriarch, we've got a corpse!" After a while, near the shore of the river, a clansman who was digging for corpses in ice suddenly shouted loudly.
Zhou Yuandong did not specifically participate in the action of digging ice and removing corpses, but was responsible for commanding everyone.
He happened to stand near the shore and reminded the people watching the excitement along the shore to take care of the children at home and not to get too close to the ice cave so as not to fall into it.
Hearing the shouts of the clansmen, he immediately went over to look.
At this time, the same clansman, with the help of the other two clansmen, had scooped the body to the ice.
Judging from the appearance, this corpse, like the corpse caught by Zhou Dayong, the dog, and the stone, is still not wearing armor and wearing a helmet.
This can further determine that the battle between the Chu army and the Qi army, as Zheng Bang analyzed, took place at night, and it was the Qi army that the Chu army attacked secretly.
Because, wearing armor and walking with a helmet is easy to make a sound, and if the Chu army wants to carry out a night attack, it is inconvenient, and it will definitely have to give up the armor and helmet.
The Qi army, on the other hand, was probably attacked after falling asleep, and it didn't have time to wear armor and helmets, so they rushed to meet the battle.
