In the west of Daning County, a dilapidated neighborhood.

This is about the place where the poor live in the city, and there is not a decent good house, it is all ragged, crumbling and rotten houses.

Hearing that the soldiers said that there were still living people here, Cheng Xu, Xing Hongwolf and others hurried over. met Ma Xianglin at the corner of the street, and both sides saw a look of relief in each other's eyes.

I thought that the people in the city had all died, and if I could find a living person here, it could be regarded as a bright red flower in the gloom.

Everyone walked into the block together.

Immediately, I saw a large crowd of ordinary people, who were huddling in the dilapidated houses, looking at them with frightened eyes.

Ma Xianglin glanced at the rotten houses on both sides of the street, and sighed lightly: "It seems that this neighborhood is too poor, and even the rogues can't look down on it." ”

Cheng Xu said: "The rich can rob, the poor can be coerced, no matter how poor the people here are, it will not prevent the rogues from doing something to them." ”

Ma Xianglin: "Huh? This is true, so how did this neighborhood survive? ”

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Xing Hongwolf glanced at his old subordinate Lao Zhu: "You go and ask." ”

Lao Zhu nodded, reached out and took out a steamed bun from his arms, and got into a private house, after a while, Lao Zhu came out, followed by a young woman, the woman was desperately nibbling on the steamed bun, and the horror in her eyes was slightly less heavy than just now.

After all, if someone gives you food, it means that they don't intend to kill you.

The woman gnawed down on her stomach with a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, and when she saw that the expressions of the group of people watching him were quite kind, she became even more bold: "Soldiers...... Yes...... What is there to ask? ”

Xing Hongwolf made an expression as gentle as possible: "Liukou didn't kill you? ”

Although she was already very gentle, the female orangutan grinned, and the words she said had the word killing in them, and the woman thought about it: Could it be that this female general thought that we had already surrendered to the thief, so the thief didn't kill me? She wants to settle accounts after the fall?

Thinking like this, he suddenly trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to gnaw on the steamed bun in his hand, so he took several steps back.

Soap Ying stood up: "Sister Xing, you scared her, come here for me." ”

She stepped forward, her face as gentle as possible: "Don't be afraid, we don't eat people." ”

"Ahh The woman took a few steps back in fright.

Everyone: "......"

In the end, it was Zhang Fengyi, and she stepped forward: "Don't be afraid, we just asked you a few words." ”

She has a good appearance, normal facial features, and looks like a very kind middle-aged woman, and this time, the young woman finally did not retreat.

Everyone glanced sympathetically at Xing Hongwolf and Soap Ying.

The two female orangutans clenched their fists at the same time, and the green tendons on the back of their hands bulged: "Do you want to be beaten?" ”

Zhang Fengyi coaxed the woman a few times, and the woman finally dared to speak: "This neighborhood ...... It was a thief named King Chuang, and he said, "The people who live in this area are very poor, so they spared our lives, and did not come in and rob and kill indiscriminately, nor did they force us to join the thief army." Because his men occupied the periphery of the block, no other thieves came in. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but sigh.

However, Wang Er and the white cat in the crowd were not so surprised, when Wang Er wanted to break away from Wang Jiayin, King Chuang once helped Wang Er speak and asked everyone to let him go, so as not to spoil the righteousness of the rivers and lakes. (Forgot friends, please see chapter 349)

Among a large group of bad thieves, this king can be regarded as a person with a little rules, not so vicious.

Wang Erdao: "If King Chuang occupies this piece, it is reasonable to say, that person does not like to kill innocents indiscriminately." ”

The white cat nodded as well.

The puppet Tianzun, who was sitting on the shoulders of Gao Chuwu, was thinking in his heart: The king of Chuang at this time is not Li Zicheng, it should be Gao Yingxiang.

Historical records record that Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang, raised troops in Ansai and was a horse dealer, but his character, origin, and life deeds were not described much.

The other leaders all have some special features, such as Li Zicheng is mean and unkind, Zhang Xianzhong kills and kills, Cao Cao and Luo Ru are peacemakers, and the mountain harrier is a handsome man...... Only this Gao Yingxiang, the history books only record what military things he did, but never describe his own characteristics.

Put it in, this kind of person is called a "public face", a guy who is not good enough for the author, does not write a feature for him, disappears in the supporting role, and the reader will even forget after reading the whole book.

The author of "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty" can only give him an evaluation and say: Gao Yingxiang is a peculiar person, and his peculiarity is that he is not peculiar at all.

This is the first time that the puppet Tianzun has learned about Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang who is not recorded in the historical records.

Ma Xianglin said: "It turns out that there are still such people among the rogues, or if he lets these people go, it can be regarded as accumulating some virtue, how many people in this neighborhood have survived?" ”

The woman said timidly, "Maybe a few thousand...... I don't know either...... After the rogues entered the city, we never dared to leave the house again......"

Ma Xianglin ordered loudly: "White pole soldiers, go and call out all the villagers hiding in the house, count the number of people, and see if we have any way to help them." ”

The white pole soldiers in the middle of the river immediately took action and knocked on the doors of each house, and after a while, many ordinary people really came out of the houses.

In this large slum, there were really a lot of people who hid and gathered together, and in the end there were about 3,000 people, all of whom were poor people at the bottom of society.

In order not to attract the rogues into their homes, they did not even dare to light a fire and raise the smoke, and they ate everything raw, and they did not dare to burn the brazier and burn the kang when it was cold, so they could only shrink into the house and shiver.

After tossing and turning over these days, one looks worse than the other.

Ma Xianglin couldn't bear to see it, but he didn't know how to help.

But I heard Cheng Xu next to him ask: "How much rations do our soldiers have?" ”

Zheng Daniu grinned: "No, there is no more military rations." ”

Cheng Xu: "Your consumption speed is not worth referencing, pass, next." ”

Soap Warbler: "Oh, why don't you believe in the big cow?" Our rations are really gone, and you see, my bag is empty. ”

Cheng Xu: "Your military rations are all for the big cows, right?" Your words are also not worth referencing, too, next. ”

Everyone: "Poof! ”

The white cat raised his hand: "I still have a day's worth of rations." ”

"I have one more day."

"Most people have a day left."

Cheng Xu nodded, took out the map and looked at it: "Daning County is still forty miles away from the bank of the Yellow River, and you can walk there in one day, and our military rations are just enough to walk to the river." ”

Everyone nodded.

Cheng Xu: "Okay, everyone's military rations will be given to the people, and we will go to the Yellow River for a day of hunger, no problem." ”
