Chapter 558: Ruined Guancheng
Hi Feng Kou.
Xifengkou is different from Yumen Pass, which is close to the Hedong Corridor, except for winter, it is a scene of yellow sand, so even if it snows, the terrain is much easier to walk than other places.
The good tuyere is different here, here is the link to the Xiongnu grassland, and it is difficult for people to travel when the snow is heavy, and they can only move forward with a deep foot in the snow and a shallow foot.
It can be said that the environment is very harsh!
When Li Lin arrived at Xifengkou with a hundred Tatar guards, he saw the dilapidated and dilapidated scene of the majestic border pass heavy trucks in the past.
The thick walls were all that remained in ruins, mottled with the marks of knives and axes, and the black ashes left behind by the fire.
The gates of the city were wide open, and there was no one to guard them.
Li Lin easily entered the card with people, the streets were deserted, walking on the empty streets, looking at the dilapidated houses around, if it weren't for the curious eyes of a child at the window of a dilapidated hut by chance, Li Lin even suspected that he had arrived in a ghost town!
Is this still a border heavy truck with a population of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of villagers in the surrounding villages in the past?
I can't imagine that even this place has become like this, what will those countryside become?
After leading people through the entire checkpoint first, Li Lin immediately arrived at the gate of the former garrison mansion, closed his eyes and pondered.
"Li Tangsheng, can we really recruit people in this ghost place? Why don't you go back and talk to the commander, let's change places, don't delay your graduation test. ”
The leader of the hundred-person team, Astina, dissuaded Li Lin, and when he turned around today, the people in the city were very vigilant, no matter what they called, those people didn't come out as if they hadn't heard it.
Especially when I saw them Tatars, the fear and resistance in my eyes was palpable.
Li Lin pondered for a while, then slowly shook his head and said, "No need to change, just here, I have already thought of a way." ”
At this point, Li Lin immediately ordered: "Take out the flare gun." ”
Aster was stunned for a moment, and asked again with some suspicion: "Put it here?" ”
"Well, it's right here!"
Li Lin nodded affirmatively, and then said: "Don't be idle when the signal is released, let's clean up the garrison mansion and live here tonight."
Tomorrow, you and your brothers will go out into the city or outside the city to see if there is one kind of tree trunk that is thick by one person and makes ten of them to stand at the gate of the garrison. ”
"Why do you need to get ten tree trunks?"
Asterna asked, puzzled.
Li Lin's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly: "I want to learn from Shangjun and stand up for faith!" ”
Asst didn't know much about the history of the Central Plains, so he didn't quite understand the meaning of this, but he still nodded ignorantly and agreed.
After a while, someone in the team pulled out a uh ...... from the package Something similar to a burning stick, aim at the sky and pull the rope downward!
Scratch and pull!
biu!
Only a sharp whistling sound was heard, and the next moment a huge firework exploded in the sky in the evening sunset!
The huge explosion was heard throughout the level, and it was heard clearly, attracting many people who were hiding at home to look at it and just saw the brilliant fireworks in the sky.
"What's that?"
In a dilapidated house, a gray-faced woman looked curiously at the fireworks in the sky and asked with a puzzled face?
The woman's husband quickly pulled the woman back from the window, and whispered:
"Don't die! Didn't you see so many Hu people coming in during the day? What if that's what they're trying to lure us out and just so they happen to see you?
Have you forgotten that when the Huns broke the city before, when we came out of the cellar, the old man in his fifties next door was Grandma Li! Those brutes, even she didn't let go!
Do you want to die? ”
The woman shrunk her neck, an obvious look of fear appeared on her face, and shook her head again and again: "I was wrong, I don't want to be seen by them, I don't want to be curious anymore!" ”
The man's anger disappeared a lot, and he looked out of the door through the crack in the window, and found that there was no one, so he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
At this time, I heard the woman say: "In charge, the food at home is enough to eat for three days at most, and we have to think of a way."
It's okay for the two of us to be young and strong, but my father and mother, Erya and Huzi can't be hungry!
Daddy is old, if you are hungry, you can't last long, the child is growing up, and she is crying hungry at any time. ”
Hearing this, the man also sighed, when he hid in the cellar, there was too late, so he could only let his family hide in first. I also brought a little bit of food.
In the past month, they have already eaten almost enough, and if they can't find any more food, their family will be hungry.
And their family has already been calculated here, some people don't bring much food at all, they have long been cut off, these days there is no way but to run to the wilderness, to see if they can catch some hibernating rabbits or something, really can't dig some vegetable roots back and cook and eat, life is very hard.
Now that the Huns are gone, I don't know when the people from the court will come?
When will they be able to provide disaster relief, otherwise their family may also be doomed!
The man thought for a while, and then said: "Let's see tomorrow, if those Hu people leave, I will follow Erniu and them out to look for it, maybe I can find some food!" ”
"Good!"
……
After putting the flare gun, the guards immediately packed up the garrison mansion, and soon, they found a place to rest in the dilapidated garrison mansion.
A fire was lit in the waiting room of the garrison house, and the wood was naturally the former seat bench in the hall.
The people took out their dry food, hung their helmets as pots on the fire, and boiled water.
When the water is almost boiled, he throws the dry food in, takes out a few canned meat and opens it, cuts the meat into slices and pours it in, and after cooking for a while, he doesn't need to add any seasonings, and a rich aroma of meat porridge spreads in the garrison mansion!
"Li Tangsheng, come and taste the craftsmanship of the brothers, the conditions are simple, now you can only eat this, if you are in our tribe, we will definitely give you a taste of our roasted whole sheep!"
That smells, it's delicious! ”
"Okay, excuse me!"
Li Lin smiled, stepped forward, took the bowl full of porridge from a Tatar soldier, and began to eat.
After taking a bite, Li Lin immediately raised his head and smiled: "The craftsmanship is very good, it is very fragrant!" ”
The Tatar guards who had been watching him suddenly grinned and laughed happily.
Li Lin also showed a smile.
Then the crowd began to eat dinner.
In this quiet night, only the sound of everyone drinking porridge and the sound of meat porridge boiling in the pot bubbling sounded from time to time.
Just as everyone was eating the right fragrance, suddenly!
Gollum~
A strange voice that was different from everyone sounded, and a group of Tatar soldiers, who were in the army, immediately picked up the guys next to them, guarded Li Lin in the middle, and looked vigilantly in the direction where the voice came from.
"Who! Who's there! Hurry out and get out! ”
Asterna was armed with a scimitar, staring at a rubble ruin with a wary face, and slowly approached it!
"Don't! Don't kill me! I'm out! I'm coming out! ”
Boom!
There was a crisp sound of teenagers, and a short, gray-haired and tattered teenager climbed up from the rubble.
Begging for mercy with fear on his face!
