Chapter 407: The Storm is Coming
It's spring again, it should be the season when the warbler flies and the grass grows, and the spring rain continues, but the world is dry and yellow, and the raindrops are like fairies in the sky, and it is difficult to see their shadows.
The Lu River is completely cut off, and the dry riverbed and cracks open wide, making people feel desperate for no reason.
Vast swaths of land are barren and cracked, and great cities are deserted and frighteningly silent.
The scorching sun always arrives every morning as scheduled, and there is no day of slacking off.
Under the scorching sun, the earth seemed to be roasted by coal, and the scorching heat swept every inch of the land.
The whole world seems to be in the early stages of desertification....
The city is like an oasis in the desert.
The ten green mountains are the only green in this world.
Towering mountains, meandering canals and flowing water, animals walk around the trickling water.
The big trees, the ice vines are falling, just like the thousand-year-old trees are full of naturally growing vines.
Animals inhabit the trees and feel cool.
The terraces are interspersed with several pavilions on both sides for laborers to rest and cool off.
The mountain is thriving, the city below the mountain is in order, and the people perform their duties and keep to themselves.
The sky can be measured, the earth can be measured, but the human heart cannot be prevented.
Human nature is both complex and full of cunning.
However, when the world only gives you two choices, life or death, those little calculations can no longer be moved.
In the face of life and death, choosing one of the two, the choice becomes no longer difficult, and people collect all the flaws in human nature and live in peace.
In the spring planting season, the bright green seedlings are inserted into the paddy fields, which are endearing, like clusters of seeds of hope.
As the sun set high, the laborers descended the mountain to return to the city one after another, and the weather was hot, and the work schedule on the mountain was one morning and one night, and when the sun was shining, the outdoor work was all turned indoor.
Most of the hard-working people wear three hats, go up to the mountains to farm at dawn, go to the pastures at the foot of the mountain to collect manure at noon, or go to the shops in the city to work as casual workers...
In the afternoon, I went to help in factories such as dyeing factories, or went to clean up buildings and schools...
As long as you are willing to do it, you can wear many hats.
Generally, most people who work several jobs part-time are dragged by their families, and of course they have to work hard if they want to live in a big house.
If you are alone, you can live a leisurely life by working a job that is enough to support yourself.
Halfway up the mountain, Wei Dafu went down the mountain with Wu Lei and others, chatting on the way, Wu Lei smiled and said: "Brother Wei, you are a lot younger this year, and now you really look like you are in your early forties." ”
Wei Dafu was full of gratitude to Wu Lei, who was fortunate to be able to settle in this Taoyuan city with his guidance, and his grandson also went to the school.
The words were very close, and the tone was relaxed: "No, I told you a few times ago that I was only in my early forties, and you didn't believe me and treated me as an old liar." ”
"Haha.." Wu Lei laughed: "Brother, you look really old at that time, you can't complain about me, you have to blame you for the thief." ”
Wei Dafu waved his hand and said: "I don't blame you, I don't blame you, I have to thank you, don't hesitate to guide..."
"It's not easy to thank anything." Wu Lei untied the water bladder and drank a sip of water: "Brother, will we go to the chicken farm together in a while?" ”
Wei Dafu shook his head: "No, today is the day to go to sea, this point is estimated that the fishing boat should come back, I have to go to the queue early to buy some seafood for my grandson to eat." ”
Wu Lei said: "Ouch~ It's not too late to earn a job to buy, there are few people today, so there is no need to queue." ”
"No queues? Why? Wei Dafu was puzzled.
Wu Lei: "Brother, you forgot, today is a big day, the list of the first batch of official residents will be announced, didn't you see Li Dahan and they ran faster than leopards, they all went to the square, waiting for the list to be announced." ”
"Oh oh~ I forgot about it." Wei Dafu couldn't hide his envy in his eyes: "Envy! I still have two years to submit my application. ”
Wu Lei continued: "It's not what's wrong, who doesn't envy it, only when you become an official resident can you buy a house, buy a shop to do business, and be qualified to hold an important position, and you will have a pension when you are old." Then he said: "Don't worry, don't worry, we will always get a formal resident certificate in a down-to-earth manner, save money in the past two years, and wait to get the resident certificate to buy a house and live in a big house directly." ”
"My brother has a point." Wei Dafu turned to smile and said: "Two years is very fast, don't rush this moment." ”
"Let's go for a walk, go to the chicken farm..."
The two went away together, and the words gradually faded away...
The crowd in the square dispersed, some people were happy and some were worried, and the people on the list were all full of spring breeze without exception.
A small number of people who were not approved were depressed, secretly hated that they were not angry, did some unclean things with their hands and feet, and thought they were secretive, but they didn't expect to be able to hide the sharp eyes of the above.
Crowds poured into the streets, scattering and leaving.
"Dodge, dodge..."
At this moment, a horse galloped across the street at high speed, kicking up dust.
Pedestrians on the street were talking about the fact that Guy Street was not allowed to run horses, and that something big must have happened.
Several other groups of soldiers entered the residential area, and Lin Zhongshan ordered all the spies to be arrested.
The horse galloped across the valley and arrived at the gate of the inner city, Mao Feng on horseback did not turn over and dismount, but said: "Uncle Jia, I have an urgent matter and need to ride into the city." ”
"Eh, you enter, you enter." The inner city is the same as the outer city, and horses are not allowed to run in the city, unless there is a major emergency, and Old Man Jia knows that there must be a big incident in the outer city to be dealt with.
Mao Feng Hula pushed open the door: "Sir, the imperial army has been encamped five miles outside the city. ”
Hearing this, Luo Yan got up suddenly, and the chair fell to the ground: "How many soldiers and horses?" ”
Mao Feng wiped his sweat and said: "Two hundred thousand!" ”
Luo Yan raised his legs and walked out of the door: "Two hundred thousand, half of the soldiers and horses of the imperial court." Walk! See the patriarch go. ”
The two walked out of the office building quickly, and saw a figure slowly coming from the edge of the square, gradually approaching.
"Patriarch." Luo Yan walked towards Su Qiqi with Mao Feng in one step: "You already know?" ”
Su Qiqi nodded calmly, her spiritual power was more than enough to monitor the entire planet, and she didn't know how the army was pressing.
In short, "Ring the bell." ”
"Yes!" Mao Feng changed his demeanor, and his eyebrows were solemn.
Hearing the bell, the people on the second floor were the first to come down, and when they learned about the military situation, they all looked serious.
Su Qiqi said lightly: "Notify the army to assemble, go to the arsenal to get weapons and get ready to go." ”
"Yes!" Li Shining turned his head to Mazi and the others: "Mazi, you go to the horse farm." ”
"Wang Daming, you go to the beach."
"Yes!"
"Brother Ping goes to the armory."
"Yes!"
..... A series of arrangements are well organized.
Su Qiqi sat on the sofa in the hall and thought for a while: "Sir, you go to the school, inform them to suspend classes, and transport all the children to the city wall to watch the battle." ”
Luo Yan was surprised: "Could it be a little early, they are still children, can they bear to see the bloody scene so early?" ”
