Volume 1 Chapter 757 Besieged
Hearing this, Zhou Bi frowned and walked to Xu He's side.
He just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Xu He.
Xu He asked Yuan Shidao: "What is the specific situation, you can tell me!" ”
Yuan Shi said: "The Wu family, the Wu family wants to do something bad to the adults, there were originally only more than 20 supervisors on the mountain north of them, but now there are more than 50 people!" ”
"Also, they said, let us hand over Lord Zhou, otherwise, there are their people on the mountains on all sides here, if you don't hand over people, we won't want to leave!"
Zhou Bi said with a dark face: "They detained our people? ”
"Yes!"
Zhou Bi is not an impulsive person, but now it is clear that they want Xu He to back down.
He couldn't help but say to Xu He: "Childe, I guess it's hard for us to go down the mountain now!" The other party must have set it up! Not to mention anything else, it's difficult to get water, and you can't survive! ”
"In this way, Childe, you hand me over first! What's the matter......"
Before Zhou Bi's words were finished, Xu He interrupted him and said, "Hand over you?" You're just being commanded to do it! ”
"Childe ......" Zhou Bi was anxious.
Xu He ignored him, turned his head to look at Lao Zhao Tou and said, "Old man, do you have any food in our camp?"
Old Zhao Tou sighed and shook his head.
"Is there any water?"
At this time, Lao Zhao Tou hadn't spoken yet, but Li Manzhu spoke: "If you have water, I'm afraid you nobles won't be used to drinking it!" ”
Xu He was overjoyed when he heard this, and said to him: "That strong man, can you please take me to see the water source." ”
When everyone came to Li Manzhu's so-called water source, they found that the water source was extremely dirty, even if the rotten dead leaves were forgotten, and many writhing larvae could be seen in the water with the naked eye.
A pro-soldier pouted a handful of water and came to Xu He, who smelled the smell, which was disgusting.
But this thing is easy to do, there is sand and gravel nearby, there is no shortage of charcoal in the camp, and you can still drink it after boiling it after simple filtration.
The water source problem was solved, but they were trapped in the mountains, and Li Yi didn't know if he could break through the restrictions of these people and bring people in.
Now it seems that the estimation is difficult.
The Wu family was able to attack and flatten Wang Heyu's village, not to mention that there were hundreds of people at home.
Even if Li Yi can come in, it will be useless.
These things will be considered later, for the sake of the present......
Xu He turned his head and ordered: "Zhou Bi, take someone to do some means nearby, someone touches the mountain, we have to know!" ”
"Second, collect the water source, I'll make a filtered thing, and I want to store the water!"
"Third, food, our food must be strictly controlled, and if there is anything to eat in the surrounding mountains, we will also send people to search for it!"
In the evening, Zhou Bi came back with someone to report.
"Childe, there are indeed people patrolling the mountain, and when it gets dark, these people still don't walk with torches, and people are arranged on the way down the mountain!"
"I only dug up some wild vegetables, mushrooms, and grass seeds!"
Xu He nodded and said, "Take out all the jerky we brought and make soup!" ”
Old Zhao Tou, Li Manzhu and others on the side all looked at Xu He when they heard this.
Even if they didn't know the cause and effect of the incident, they knew that Xu He and the others were trapped on the mountain.
The other party even wanted to collect wild vegetables and grass seeds to feed his stomach, but he still kept his promise to take out the dried meat for the big guy to eat.
Lao Zhao hurriedly stopped: "My lord, we all know your heart, you should keep this jerky!" ”
Xu He smiled faintly and said: "The husband stands between heaven and earth, and he should be honest. Since I promised the dogs that I would share the jerky with everyone, how could I break my word! ”
After speaking, he nodded to Zhou Bi.
Zhou Bi secretly said in his heart, and he didn't know whether the integrity of Gongzi was Confucian or Legalist.
But he still admired Xu He very much in his heart.
At this time, the person who can make such a decision is by no means an ordinary person.
……
When Zhou Bi finished collecting the jerky that his soldiers carried with him, to be honest, there were actually only five or six, which was pitiful.
Xu He said with a smile: "Everyone, come out in a hurry, I didn't prepare much, let's cook a soup and drink these five or six pieces of jerky, and taste them." ”
The men rolled their throats, but no one answered.
Xu He sighed in his heart, although these people were in rags, they were all people who knew kindness and etiquette.
From their eyes, Xu He saw the desire, but no one spoke first.
Even Li Manzhu threw the blanket he grabbed to Zhou Bi and said, "There are two pieces of jerky here, take them and cook them together!" ”
Zhou Bi smiled at him, and was not polite, took out the jerky from it, and threw the blanket to Li Manzhu along with the other food inside: "Thank you, count me Zhou someone owes you, and in the future, I will spend money to invite you to the best restaurant in Zunhua to eat for three days!" ”
Li Manzhu didn't know if he understood it, anyway, he didn't react, so he took the blanket and put it on his shoulders and didn't speak.
Soon, the smell of broth came out of the camp, and everyone else took out some dried wild vegetables and threw them into the soup.
Finally, a pot of broth came out of the pot.
By the time Zhou Bi finished serving soup to every man in the camp, the pot had bottomed out.
The dog helped her grandmother to Xu He, and the old woman wiped her tears and said, "This adult, the old woman doesn't drink broth, or you drink it!" ”
Xu He smiled: "We still have it, let's drink it!" ”
When the people heard this, they said in their hearts, "Just now you said that this is the only thing, so you said, how can you people be so kind to give us all the jerky."
But when they saw Xu He holding a bowl of wild vegetable soup, they were all stunned.
Lao Zhao Tou said: "My lord, you, don't you still have food?" ”
Xu He smiled: "Yes, there are some cakes, it is estimated that we will have to stay in the mountains for a while, there are not many cakes, we can just drink some wild vegetable soup!" ”
At this time, everyone realized that what Xu He said just now was to let the dog's grandmother drink the bowl of broth, so he deliberately lied.
Old Zhao's jaw trembled slightly, and he asked after a while, "My lord, you are not an ordinary guard, are you?" The guards don't have a good guy like you! ”
Xu He smiled: "Old man, I am the commander of the Jingwei Tongzhi, and the emperor just knows that the Wei has a lot of malpractices, so let me reorganize the two guards, no, I came here to recruit troops for this matter!" ”
Li Manzhu scraped the broth in the bowl with the cakes in the blanket, and asked Xu He: "Your Jingwei really gave the An family five taels of silver!" ”
Xu He said: "That's nature! ”
Li Manzhu nodded, and then asked, "Then do you accept a tartar like me?" ”
Xu He was slightly stunned in his heart, but said without hesitation: "Tartar? You are the people of our Great Wei Jianzhou Wei, and you are also the people of our Great Wei Emperor, as long as you feel the same, then why can't you give the emperor food as a soldier? ”
"I don't know your emperor, but I think you're a good person, follow you, maybe you can really get a settlement fee!"
Xu He smiled: "Yes, I think you are not bad!" Besides, we, Zhou Qianhu, still owe you three days of food in Zunhua County! ”
Li Manzhu laughed, took his broken wooden bowl and walked back to his shack!
"On the first day of the new year, I was so tired that my back hurt, but I still have to stick to the code word!
Happy New Year! Friends!"
