Chapter 101: Yuling Fragrance (2)
The crowd of ragged and miserable-looking people, from octogenarian men to crying babies, from scrawny men to women who could not stand up straight, densely packed the banks of the Luzhen Inland River.
However, among this group of people who have lost their homes, the most common is not luggage, but flowers.
Nice, flowers, all sorts of flowers.
White tea, red impatiens, peach blossoms in March, pear blossoms in April, yellow sunflowers, purple rhododendrons, all the flowers in spring are in full bloom on their hands.
However, when Mo Zi looked closely, he found that more than half of the flowers had failed, scorched with yellow petals, wilting on the branches. If you look further on the ground, there are layers of petals, almost crushed into jet-black mud, only the top one is still a little pink-white and red. The people on both sides of the strait were not the first to arrive, and they may not be the last.
"God, where are these people from?" The Great Zhou Dynasty has been peaceful and prosperous for a long time, and even if Bai He has walked around with Qiu Sanniang, he has never seen so many painful faces.
"It should be a Yuling refugee." Hearing about Elaine's death, Mo Zi could pretend to be indifferent, but when she said these four words, sadness came from her heart.
"Refugees?" Bai He looked at those people in a daze, "Is Yuling really broken?" βγ
Those who have not experienced war will never understand how cruel war can be
Mo Zi gritted her teeth, her eyes red. She was a soldier in peacetime, but participated in rescue missions in a number of submarine wrecks and watched the fighters die without being able to do anything about it. thought that her mind was strong enough, but when she saw the refugees in Yuling, the impact was so huge that she couldn't think or speak.
Because I am a native of Yuling, the ruin of the country that I can't feel in Luozhou, which is far away from Yuling, finally emerged in an instant?
She didn't know.
All she knew was that her heart ached and she was going to tear her body apart.
The voices of the children of "Big Boat, Big Boat" are childish, they have not yet fully understood reality, and they have not yet given up hope for the future.
"Three young ladies" >, buy flowers. A voice ran along with the boat.
"Miss" >, buy my white tea. The second voice ran.
Buy My Peach Branch...... Buy My Spring Apricot...... A lot of voices were running.
The voice changed to the faces of a dozen older children, who ran after the boat, their little hands stretched high, as if the flowers would make Mo Zi and them see clearly.
"Big sister" > sister, the 100-day red I picked up when I crossed the river can still be opened for a long time, buy it. Five cents is enough. My brother is sick and wants to eat meat buns...... "The shortest girl among the children, about seven or eight years old, has a dirty face, and her arms are as thin as the peach branches of the child next to her.
She ran fast, but because she was too thin and wearing adult clothes, she was in the way, and she was quickly pulled behind by the older children, only to burst into tears, and then disappeared from Mo Zi's sight.
Survival of the fittest, the jungle eats the strong. It's easy to say, but when Mo Zi faces the children who are begging them to buy a flower, she can't apply this rule because it's too cruel.
"Poor thing." Boat Ah Da walked over, shook his head and sighed, "Most of them escaped from Yuling Baihuazhou, and more than half of them are flower farmers. This season, hundreds of boatloads of flowers would have been shipped to various terminals in Huazhou and then resold across the country. I heard that the people of Baihuazhou regard flowers as their lives, and they all rely on the flower season to earn a year's life. The flowers in these people's hands are now their only belongings. β
The flower ship has now transported flower planters, no wonder such a sad cross-strait exudes such a strong fragrance of flowers.
It's a pity that the flower growers are powerless to protect the flowers, and the flower watchers have no intention of appreciating the flowers.
Let's buy flowers...... Please...... The flowers are about to be grateful...... If you thank you, you can't exchange money...... Very hungry...... Really hungry...... The crumbling flowers are their last chance to achieve a small feast.
"Stop the boat." Mo Zi heard someone say.
Not white lotus. She was already crying wet with a silk thread, her eyes were hazy, and she couldn't speak at all.
It's not a small coat either. She is a girl who doesn't like to give orders, and likes to show with actions.
The person who stopped the boat was Mo Zi herself. When reason came back to her mind, before she could smile bitterly, she heardβ
"You can't stop the boat"
Mo Zi looked up and saw Xiao Erlang frowning deeply, looking down from the top to the bottom of the cabin on the second floor, looking down at both sides of the river.
"What are you going to do when the boat stops?" Retracting his gaze, Xiao Wei looked at Mo Zi coldly.
Of course, Mo Zi knew that it was ridiculous to stop the ship. So many refugees, it is impossible to save her eight taels of silver with her property. But, once again, she heard her own voice.
"The boat is stopped, I can buy buns for that little girl's brother." Yes, she is very good at saving people with buns.
Xiao Wei glanced at it and couldn't see any little girls, but he was not stupid and could understand what Mo Zi meant, "Helped a little girl, and what about those children?" Can you help everyone? Even if you can help them once, you can help them three times, a month, a year, a lifetime? β
Shi Lei came forward, also frowning, "There is a good bird who is really a woman, with long hair and short knowledge." β
Helped one is one. She took out all her silver, so that she could buy two baskets of steamed buns. That seriously ill younger brother, when he is full, may be able to resist, and may be able to live. There are also those children who are about to give up the flowers in their hands, and when they are full, they can survive for two more days, and the chance of salvation may be 20% more. However, if you don't do anything, under such difficult conditions, the children will be the first to suffer.
Mo Zi opened her mouth, and the words in her heart were on the tip of her tongue, but she finally fell silent. Yongfu, she can let Xiao Erlang get out, she is just a second-class girl on this ship. And even if the boat can be stopped, it can buy ten baskets and twenty baskets of steamed buns, it will only make the people of Yuling red-eyed, and once it triggers a riot, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"General Xiao is right, it is Mo Zi who thinks simply." Qiu Quan's eyes lowered in compromise, Mo Zi pulled the white lotus with one hand and the small coat with the other, and walked towards the cabin in front of him, "There are many refugees, and the boat is afraid of twists and turns. "Madame> the girls are frightened, please speed up the boat and enter the town as soon as possible. "Out of sight is out of sight.
"What's going on with this girl? For a while, she didn't use her mind to stop the boat, and for a while, she wanted to run as if she had opened her mind, and she said everything. Shi Lei grabbed his beard and quickly glanced back, and then looked back at the refugees on the shore, "I don't know what the situation in Yuling is." We've been away from Shangdu for more than two months, and we can't contact the military department in order to get that guy......"
He complained about the first corrupt official, and found that Xiao Wei didn't give him a reaction, so he patted his shoulder hard, "Brother Bai Yu, why are you thinking so distracted?" β
"That girl calls me General Xiao." It's a strange feeling.
"Huh?" Shi Lei was rough, "I probably think the general is majestic." Childe "> Childe" >, I hate my mother. β
"It seems that the reconciliation mission sent by the emperor is of little use. Daqiu has always been ambitious, and the meat that is swallowed in his mouth will not be spit out. Xiao Wei extrapolated from the number and time of the refugees, "Yuling is probably gone." β
"Will the big begging come?" The wolf is ambitious, and there is a great possibility of pursuing the victory.
"It depends on how powerful Daqiu is now. If the attack on Yuling is too costly, it will definitely die down and recuperate. Moreover, it is not possible to turn the people of Yuling into the people of great seeking. Xiao Wei estimated that most of them would not immediately attack Da Zhou.
"Yuling is a small country but rich in land, there are so many wealthy businessmen and giants, and all of them are rich and rival the country, and now they have all become people who seek to rule, which is really hateful." Daqiu is equivalent to swallowing countless gold jewels, Shi Lei felt unbalanced, "I knew this was the case, I should have sent troops first." A hundred years ago, Yuling was originally the land of our Great Zhou. β
"The four countries have been at peace for a long time, who would have thought about it." Xiao Wei can only talk. Actually, it should be thought of. Three years ago, the envoys of Nande, Daqiu and Yuling all gathered in the Great Zhou, and Daqiu Prince personally brought people here. The man who was only nineteen years old, like a humble gentleman, let him inadvertently see the dazzling eyes.
"Luzhen has also deployed heavy troops." Shi Lei saw the rows of warships lined up on the river, stretching their bows and crossbows, and a temporary checkpoint was set up on the shore, and hundreds of saber soldiers stood on both sides to prevent refugees from entering the town.
"It's not a problem to get out there." Although Xiao Wei did not agree with Mo Zi to stop the ship, he was not really cold-blooded.
"It's not even a matter to put it in. So many people poured in at once, and it wasn't my Da Zhou people, who would give them food? If you are hungry and crazy, burning, killing and looting, what can't you do? Luzhen is not a heavily defended city, and one or two thousand troops are simply not enough to suppress tens of thousands of displaced people. Shi Lei was so annoyed, "What's going on in Huazhou Water Village, let it all in." β
Huazhou and Yuling are separated by three rivers and five peaks, the two countries each share one and a half rivers and two and a half peaks, and the border is set up in the canyon shore to set up water villages and defense towns, and there are at least tens of thousands of sailors and 500 warships all year round. Since the war with Yuling, 50,000 warships of the strongest naval division of the Great Zhou Dynasty have been transferred, and these water villages have been defended as impregnable.
"Probably the same as you think." Xiao Wei was not surprised.
"What's the same?" I said so much that I don't remember which one at all.
"Yuling was originally the land of my Great Zhou, so the ancestors of these refugees are also my people of Great Zhou. If you don't let them in, will you still be left to be trampled on? "It must be released, but how to solve the food and clothing of these people is a very difficult problem. After all, Yuling has been a country of its own for many years, and many Great Zhou people will not treat them as Great Zhou people.
At this time, the boatman shouted, "Two masters, there are officers and soldiers who want to come up to inspect the ship." β
Xiao Wei saw that there was a patrol boat in front of the boat, and there were twenty sailors armed with spears and bows and arrows, and they were looking at them with their heads held high.
"Just let them come up." Xiao Wei Shilei can't reveal his identity, of course, he can't put on the official authority of the top and bottom, he can only take a sampan and welcome the soldiers on board.
