Chapter 59: Finding Food (Three Watches)
"Go ahead! Go ahead! Chen Zhongyuan nodded hurriedly, "Here are us!" He clapped his hands and stood up and said, "When you are full and strong, let's continue to build a shack." ”
"You watch your wounds." Hong Lianshuo pointed his knee with his index finger.
"I don't do it." Chen Zhongyuan said nonchalantly, and beckoned, "Come on, come on, put out the fire." Looking up at the crowd around the bonfire, he said, "Remember to put out the fire!" There were water bladders, which were extinguished with water. ”
"Yes!" Cui ordered them to respond in unison.
Everyone worked together to extinguish the fire and continued to build a hut, not knowing how long they would live here, but they had to have a shelter from the wind and rain.

Hong Lianshuo sat cross-legged in the shack, watching his son sleep, meditating and vomiting for about half an hour.
Hong Lianshuo looked at his son, who was still asleep, and picked up the simple door surrounded by grass and branches and walked out of the shack.
Standing in front of the shack, Hong Lianshuo stretched, "It's time to go." "Find Chen Zhongyuan and say, "I will now meet with General Han, and then go outside the city to find out the news." He also advised, "Wangyue is still sleeping, and when he wakes up, tell him that I have gone to find food." ”
"Uh-huh!" Chen Zhongyuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry! Here I am! ”
Sixi and Fang Da Hammer handed the branch in their hands to the others, walked over and said, "Let's go too." ”
"I was talking about looking for you!" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with cold eyes and said, "Bring your weapons and let's go." ”
"Hey!" The two of them answered, took the big knife and said, "Let's go!" ”
"You two be smart, don't hold back." Chen Zhongyuan patted the two of them on the shoulder and said.
"Yes!" The two said solemnly and solemnly.
"Let's go!" Hong Lianshuo shook the scimitar in his hand.
"Wait a minute!" Chen Zhongyuan looked down at the scimitar in her hand and said, "Why does Hong Niangzi still use a scimitar, isn't our straight knife good?" ”
"This knife is sharp, blowing hair and breaking hair, look at the fierce battle until now, there is no curling blade." Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes looked at the straight knife in Sixi and Fang Da Hammer's hands, "Can they do it?" ”
"That can't be." When Chen Zhongyuan heard this, he immediately said, "Our weapons are rationed to the soldiers. Looking directly at the scimitar in her hand, he said, "It looks like the scimitar in your hand is a treasure knife." ”
"So! I can't change it. Hong Lianshuo looked at him with shining black eyes and said.
"Let's go!" Chen Zhongyuan's big black and white eyes looked at them and said, "Go early and come back early." "Watch them leave.
As soon as Chen Zhongyuan turned around, he saw Cui Ming walking back and forth not far away, obviously there was something.
"Miss Cui is in trouble?" Chen Zhongyuan opened his mouth to look at her and asked.
Cui Ming bit his lip tightly, thought about it, raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "Captain Chen, can they do it with just three of them?" ”
"More than that! And General Han's people! How could it be just the three of them? Chen Zhongyuan looked at her funny and said, explaining simply, "And in this matter, the fewer people the better, and the more people there are, it is easy to be exposed." ”
"Oh! It's me who talks too much. Cui Ming said embarrassedly.
"No, Miss Cui also cares about Mrs. Hong." Chen Zhongyuan raised his eyes to look at the people who came around, and said softly, "Everyone cares about Hong Niangzi. ”
"Captain Chen, can Mrs. Hong find food?" Someone asked boldly.
"Don't ask me about this, I don't know." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them in astonishment and said, "Even if there is no food, there are many fish in this lake, that is, the fish in the lake have been eaten, guarding the mountain, and I am afraid that there will be no food!" ”
Everyone smiled happily when they heard this, and they won't be hungry now.
"Okay, hurry up and continue to build a shack, I don't want to have no place to sleep at night!" Chen Zhongyuan looked at them and urged.
"Oops!" The people answered.

Hong Lianshuo, Sixi, and Fang Da Hammer galloped all the way to the valley.
"General Han." Hong Lianshuo hugged his fists and looked at him with a peaceful gaze.
"Mrs. Hong." Han Baohu bowed slightly and arched his hand.
"General Han." Sixi and Fang Da Hammer bowed their hands.
"Ready? Let's go! Hong Lianshuo looked at him with deep and upright eyes and said, "Get food early, don't go hungry." ”
"Uh-huh!" Hearing this, Han Baohu nodded and said, "Lady Hong, wait a minute. He turned around and gathered a dozen or so personal soldiers, brought weapons, "Let's go!" ”
It is not necessary to go to reconnoiter whether the Zhuangzi of the wealthy households outside the city has food, and it is easy to be exposed if there are many people.
Hong Lianshuo walked on the way into the city, "General Han, where are we going?" He said with some hesitation, "As far as I know, the Nanjiayuan is the farm of a large scholar family. Calm and gentle black eyes looked at him and said, "Let's kill him back." ”
"I guess we can't kill it, we killed so many Yidi, they must clean up the battlefield. It's dangerous to go now. Han Baohu frowned lightly when he heard this, and said, "Go to the north city gate, there are also farms of the scholar clan there, and I hope to get something." ”
"Isn't there a Yidi guard?" Sixi said worriedly.
"Just take a look, I don't think there should be, they don't have enough people." Han Baohu thought for a while and looked at them and said, "You can only guard the important ones."
"Speed up and get there before dark." Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes were like stars in the blue sky, bright and deep.
The road came out, and they walked much faster, and when the sky gradually darkened, Hong Lianshuo and they arrived at the outskirts of the North City Gate.
Hong Lianshuo squatted in the grass and looked at the village not far in front of him, "It's too quiet here!" "Dead without a trace of life.
"Hmmm! I'm afraid there will be more than one luck. Han Baohu said with a dark face.
"There was no smoke, and I didn't hear the chickens crow." Hong Lianshuo pointed to the vultures hovering in the sky with his index finger and said, "They don't disperse for a long time. ”
"Go inside and take a look." Han Baohu said in a cold voice.
Hong Lianshuo and the others sneaked into the village quietly, and as soon as they entered the village, they saw corpses lying on the loess road. The blood dried up, the corpses were pecked by vultures, and in some places the bones were exposed, the smell was so bad that I was almost out of breath, and maggots crawled all over the corpses.
Hong Lianshuo closed his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go directly!" There won't be anyone. ”
"Hmm!" Han Baohu clenched his fists and responded painfully.
Han Baohu took them into the village and looked at the most magnificent Zhuangzi.
Compared to other low-rise adobe houses in the village, Zhuangzi is a green brick house, tall and wide, better than some of the houses in the city!
Han Baohu stepped into the open gate, and the courtyard was full of corpses, and there was nowhere to put his feet.
Despite the preparations, the impact was uncomfortable.
Jumping through the yard, Han Baohu took them directly to the stable in the backyard.
