Chapter 22: Burying the Body
The wind was howling, and the earthquake was trembling. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
More than 1,000 soldiers stepped on the morning light after dawn and galloped towards the direction where Yang Yishan's camp was located.
Accompanying the large army was a squad of six people, each of whom carried a heavy cloth bag.
The cold wind made most of them unconsciously tighten their necks, and their walking bodies were also trembling slightly, only a strong man in the lead untied his collar instead, allowing the biting cold wind to freely burrow into his clothes.
He was so excited, although the strength of Yang Yishan's camp was a few points weaker than them, but there would inevitably be casualties in the war, although his strength was not very weak, but in a large-scale battlefield, unless his strength was outstanding, no one could guarantee that he would be able to survive intact.
At this time, Lin Chenzhi assigned him to complete such an easy task as burying the corpse, how could he not be excited.
Half a day.
When everyone walked to a dead wood forest, the strong man in the lead glanced around, suddenly raised a hand, and the people behind him immediately stopped, gasping for breath, and their eyes turned to him.
"That's it!" the strong man in the lead threw the cloth bag on his shoulder on the ground casually, and the blood stains oozing from the cloth bag stained his shoulders red. The others also threw the cloth bag on their shoulders on the ground, took the folding shovel from their waists, and began to dig in the ground.
锵~锵~锵~
The screeching sound of metal clashing sounded immediately, and although the ground was soft soil, it had long been frozen by the bitter cold of winter as hard as stone.
After digging for a long time and destroying three folding shovels, they only dug a pit about three meters wide and one meter deep.
"Hammer!"
With another crisp sound, a man threw away the broken shovel in his hand in a rage, and shouted to the leading man sitting not far away: "Big brother, this soil is too hard to dig in!"
The leading man got up and walked over, looked at the soil pit that had been dug, and then at the only two shovels left, frowned, and said for a long time: "Forget it, that's it, bury them!" As he spoke, he unconsciously glanced at the cloth bag he carried. Before leaving, Lin Chenzhi specifically instructed him to bury Tong Xiaoman and not abandon his body in the wilderness.
Originally, he also wanted to bury the rest of the corpses, and then bury Tong Xiaoman's corpse alone, but now that the tools are basically broken, it is too difficult to dig another pit in the hard ground.
After a slight hesitation, he took a few steps forward, took Tong Xiaoman's body out of the cloth bag, and then placed it in the pit, and then asked everyone to fill it with soil.
However, before leaving, the man still had an extra heart, found a big stone around, erected it in front of the pit, and then engraved Tong Xiaoman's name, and then slowly left with everyone.
Unbeknownst to the group, however, not long after they left, the stones erected in front of the pit had fallen to the ground......
Meanwhile.
Wei Hong was in a very good mood at the moment, because the white tiger had finally woken up under Sadako's treatment!
The only thing that is not perfect is that the moment the white tiger awakens, Sadako disappears in place and does not continue to heal the white tiger.
However, this has already made Wei Hong very satisfied, after all, this ghost and tiger originally looked at each other, and Sadako was able to heal the white tiger uninvited, which was completely beyond his expectations.
Of course, there was another thing that Wei Hong regretted a little, that is, the moment the White Tiger woke up, tears overflowed in his eyes again, and he wanted to see if he could get the approval of the White Tiger!
Of course, the result was not what he expected, mixed with tears of special intent, and it was not recognized by the White Tiger, so he did not get summoning points.
But even so, Wei Hong was still very happy, and sat in the white tiger's room for a while before leaving the room and walking towards the outside of the cave.
Along the way, the busy crowd coming and going in the tunnel could clearly feel Wei Hong's good mood at the moment, and greeted him respectfully. Wei Hong didn't know how many times he nodded his head all the way, anyway, when he walked to the door of the cave, he felt that his neck was already a little sore.
Standing at the entrance of the cave, Wei Hong roughly glanced at the busy crowd outside the cave, and his eyes fell on Zhuge Liang, who was directing everyone to clean up the wreckage in the distance.
Now that the two instruments and four elephant arrays are about to be laid here, the security issue has been guaranteed to a certain extent, but Wei Hong still has many problems in his heart that need to be discussed with Zhuge Liang.
The most important of them is still the food problem, although Zhuge Liang promised him to deal with those women and children, but now digging the 'moat' obviously requires a lot of manpower, so what do these women and children think, the food still needs him to supply, and with his remaining food, if he wants to feed so many people, I am afraid that the 'moat' has not been built yet, and the little food he has left will bottom out.
The second is the problem of water sources, although this is not a top priority, after all, the heavy snow will not melt in a short time, so before the beginning of spring, this problem will not have much impact on Wei Hong, but ......
Because of the appearance of the canyon, after the landform has been changed, several living springs in the original cave have dried up, and Wei Hong also knows a terrible thing, that is, the mythical god of drought lives near him, I am afraid that after the beginning of spring, it is extremely difficult to obtain a water source.
Therefore, this issue still needs to be planned in advance, of course...... If Zhuge Liang can call the wind and rain like the legend, then this problem is not a problem.
But this is just Wei Hong's impression of Zhuge Liang in a certain version, so he feels that he should still discuss the problem of water source with Zhuge Liang, so that he can be mentally prepared in advance and have a little more time to solve the problem of water source.
As for the last question, it is said to be a problem, but it is not actually a problem, that is, the planning of the vacant land in front of you.
After all, judging from Zhuge Liang's judgment, this place is already the only road leading to the east and west of Kunshan County, and collecting 'tolls' must be done, but how to collect, how much to collect, and how to let those people pass after collecting money and goods, he feels that he must discuss it with Zhuge Liang, so that he can have a good number.
And in the rest of the place, Wei Hong is also ready to start planning and building houses, after all, it is not a thing to always live in a dark and damp cave, especially now that there are many people, thousands of people are crammed into a cave that is not too big, if it weren't for the gap on the top of the cave that Brand had broken, Wei Hong really doubted that he would wake up and die of suffocation!
Thinking of this, Wei Hong took a step towards Zhuge Liang, he had already thought about it, he had to discuss these things clearly today, and then he went to talk to Sadako, so that it could completely heal the white tiger's injuries, so that he could start to implement the plan in his heart!
