Chapter 42: Home
After the horse thieves were eliminated, everyone sat down on the ground at once, and the women and children who were hiding, and the old people came out one after another to help clean up the mess.
The wounds were bandaged, and the women quickly killed the badly wounded horses, slaughtered them, and divided the meat into large pieces and put them in baskets. Su Jingyun asked people to put away the good weapons in the hands of these horse thieves and distribute them to the people who performed well in this thief killing.
There were only five long knives, two spears, three daggers, and the rest were wooden sticks, but the quality of these knives was not very good. After all, the government has always strictly controlled the iron tools of the people. It would be nice to have more muttering now.
The performance of many of them impressed Su Jingyun, his body was thin, and he was afraid of his mother-in-law's Ge Youcai; The elegant and seemingly ineffective prefect Wang, together with Master Yang, who was giving advice in the rear, all lifted the wooden stick and fought with the horse thieves desperately, and they were ruthless, and they cooperated in pairs to let them kill the two horse thieves.
So Su Jingyun gave each of the three of them a long knife.
Although they had just experienced a vicious fight, everyone was very hungry and tired, but Su Jingyun didn't dare to let everyone rest this time, because horse thieves have always liked to gather for activities, and there are only more than ten people here, and it should be just a small team.
So Su Jingyun ordered everyone not to rest, they are not out of danger yet, the movement of the fight is not small, plus the smell of blood, waiting for the return may be the horse thief's brigade of centaurs, or there are beasts and wolves roaming in the mountains.
Everyone also knows what is good, coupled with Su Jingyun's prestige, the group is constantly speeding up, the old people who can't walk help each other, and the women carry heavy baskets, which are not inferior to the men holding children.
The group didn't know how long they had been walking, their legs were numb and unconscious, and they were doing exercises mechanically. Su Jingyun estimated that he had walked about twenty kilometers before everyone rested, and the man left some people to patrol the vicinity, and some of them went to collect firewood. The woman saw that it was cooking on the fire, took out the horse meat that had been cleaned up before, and added some leftover rice, so that everyone could have a good meal.
It's better to eat these meats early, and you can't put them away without salt. The most important thing is that they will be in the village in a short time. When I came back, the village was safe, and there was food, so I didn't have to worry about food for the time being.
It's time for a group of people to have a good meal.
Flames rose on the ground, and diligent women put pots on the shelves. The side was crowded with children, and the red and white meat was tumbling in the boiling water, making people drool uncontrollably. When everyone was done, they sat on the ground tiredly, rubbing their legs and praising the woman in charge of the kitchen.
During this period of getting along, everyone shared hardships and hardships, and the men began to change their attitudes towards women, and these women endured hardships along the way, and they sincerely admired and thanked these women.
In addition, Su Jingyun has always been very respectful of women, and let women take care of things, everyone slowly got used to it, and they also enjoyed the convenience.
In order to get more spoonfuls of soup at that time, they are willing to boast more, isn't it just a matter of words.
Wait until a pot of soup is boiled, the meat yield has never been high, more than 100 catties of pure meat is only more than 40 catties, fortunately, hooves, ribs, pork belly, cavity bones, etc. can be eaten, everyone will not dislike the water, even the big bones can also be boiled soup to eat and drink.
There are many refugees, and even those with meat and bones can eat a pound per person. There was also a large bone offal soup to drink, and everyone's stomachs were round after eating, and even the wounds on the body didn't hurt much for a while. Sit together and talk about when was the last time you ate meat. I said I had a fat piece of meat.
After eating and resting for an hour, Su Jingyun asked everyone to pack up their things again, he decided to continue to set off, no longer resting, and walked back to the village in one go.
The people of Nanshan Village who came with them were the happiest, although they were also tired, but when they thought of returning to the village early, they didn't care if their legs hurt or not, and whether they were tired or not. It's a big deal to go back to the village and rest for a few days. It's not like eating well now, and you have to always be vigilant against danger, how safe it is to go back to the village.
The other refugees didn't know why they were hurrying, and now the world was not particularly safe there, but they were used to obeying Master Su's orders, and at least they could live with him. Moreover, the other people who were with Master Su said that they would have food when they returned to their village, and they had no food now. With Lord Su's person, they shouldn't starve to death.
The group walked like this, even at night, without rest, everyone beat the thatch with sticks, and walked all the way. Su Jingyun pulled a horse with something on it and led the way in front.
By the time the sky began to light up, they had finally arrived. The people of Nanshan Village shouted happily: "It's home, it's home"
"I miss my mother and baby"
"My osmanthus must miss me"
Looking at this group of excited people, the other refugees were stunned, these people couldn't be nightmares. This, isn't there a big mountain in front of this, looking at the hard mountain wall in front of you. Look at me, look at yours, these refugees. Then, everyone turned their attention to Master Su.
Master Su is a reliable person, so he shouldn't be stunned. Seeing that Su Jingyun was also looking at the mountain wall in front of him with a happy face, his eyes were full of excitement.
These refugees chuckled in their hearts, played, and thought of the many ghosts in the mountains that have been circulating since childhood, and they especially like to bewitch these young adults, tricking them into absorbing the yang qi and then eating them.
All of a sudden, a team of dozens of people began to stir. One of the young men was so anxious that he said to his side: "What should I do, Master Su is fascinated by ghosts, let's quickly find a way, find a way, and pull him." ”
The Wang Governor's Mansion, which was closest to Su Jingyun, reacted at once, and pulled Su Jingyun to prevent him from moving forward. Scholars don't believe in ghosts and gods, but the current situation is so weird that he has to believe it. So he dragged Su Jingyun to death.
Su Jingyun, who was dragged, looked confused, and only then did he react, and when he went out, he told the people in the village not to mention the special nature of their village to outsiders, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Seeing such a situation now, it is no wonder that these people feel strange and frightened.
The other people in Nanshan Village laughed, and Su Jingyun couldn't help but be a little funny, clenching his hands into fists and putting them against his lips to hide his smile. Actually, I don't blame these refugees. In front of this silent mountain, a group of people wanted to walk forward with excited expressions, and there was a hundred-meter-high mountain wall in front of them.
Looking at the refugees who were even more scared because of Wang Dashi's laughter, Su Jingyun hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, we are not frightened. You will know later, this is the secret of our village, and you will know it when you are also a member of our village in the future. ”
After speaking, they arrived at Wang Dashi, who was waiting for his signal: "You go in first, go to the village chief and take out all the remaining wooden cards after entering, and everyone will go in batches." ”
Next, something happened that these people would never forget for the rest of their lives, which also became the reason why they have been following the Su family since then. Even if there were more and more magical things later, they couldn't shake the Su family's position in their hearts.
At that moment, the person who received the wooden sign followed the leader with a frightened face and easily crossed the mountain wall, and saw the common houses in the village under the white sky. It can be seen that these villagers are living a good life, and there are still green crops growing in the fields, which is really a fairyland compared to the outside.
Governor Wang and Master Yang, who helped their son in, looked at the village in front of them and couldn't help but sigh: "This is the real Peach Blossom Spring." ”
When all the people finally came in, the village chief put the wooden card back, carefully counted it side by side, and made sure that none of it was missing, and then he began to look at the son who went out with Su Jingyun and them and came back now. There is no way that in his heart, his son can't compare to the wooden card in his hand. If a piece of the wooden sign falls off and is discovered, it is not good for the whole village.
