She took the initiative to mention this matter, and some of the people were directly frightened and trembled.

That night didn't last long, and now that I mentioned it, I still seemed to be able to smell the thick blood of that night.

"It is said that people will see people's hearts over time." Meng Changqing said: "Two months ago, you were afraid of me for this, and it was reasonable, but now you are still afraid, I can only think that you have a ghost in your heart."

You're trying to murder me, or you're actually in league with those people, so I'm afraid you'll end up with the same fate in the future. ”

Two hundred people knelt on the ground, and some people shouted injustice, "Your Excellency, we are by no means in the same group as those people." ”

"If you want me to be clear, then let's find out the matter while I'm free." Meng Changqing turned his head and said, "Bafang, move a stool." ”

Hagio quickly left, and soon moved a chair.

Meng Changqing sat down, his eyes swept over the people kneeling on the ground, and they all lowered their heads one by one, Meng Changqing couldn't see their expressions, and could only judge from their body movements, who was really afraid and who knelt down from the crowd.

"When I first arrived in Beishan County that day, you were all hungry like that, do you remember?" Meng Changqing asked.

Ma Laifu knelt in the first row, and he spoke: "I remember what I said. ”

With him taking the lead, many people behind him followed and said that they remembered.

"When I gave you porridge, I only asked you what were your names? How old is it? Is anyone else in Beishan County? Meng Changqing said, "I didn't ask why you are in Beishan County. ”

Malaifu looked up.

"Except for you." Meng Changqing continued, "What did you do? I ask you why you are living like you were before? I don't think it's necessary, what do you think? ”

Although the people did not answer, as soon as Meng Changqing's words came out, their physical state was obviously much more relaxed.

Obviously, they didn't want to say.

"Since you are already here, you are my people. Although I haven't been with you for a long time, I have lived and died together, and it is a lifelong friendship.

You've been with me a little longer than you've been with me, and you know me better.

I am a very talkative man, and I have not withheld your food, nor have I stretched out my hand to you to ask for anything, but as long as you do not commit any crimes, you can sit at the same table with me, eat wine and food, and talk about past friendships.

But I am not a man of speech, and as long as you break the law, I will deal with it according to the law and will not forgive.

Therefore, under my rule, as long as you keep to yourself and work hard, I will lead you to a good life, and whoever dares to give you grievances will definitely uphold justice for you. ”

"From now on, the previous big group disbanded and went back to the earlier group of eight. Each group elects a leader, and from now on, there will be no guards watching you all the time.

But as much as you do every day, you can only come to me and receive as much food. Meng Changqing said: "Starting from the morning after tomorrow, each group will eat separately, and it depends on you whether you can eat enough or not."

Go back and rest. ”

Meng Changqing left before they dared to stand up.

At this time, Yang Zheng said: "If the number on the identity card exceeds two hundred, come to my side to exchange for a new number plate." ”

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, the eldest brother of the Zeng family urged: "Third child, Meizi, we have to go faster, now is not the past, there is only one of us on one road, we must enter the village before dark." ”

Zeng Laosan's head was full of sweat, but he still said: "Okay! ”

Boss Zeng looked at Yu Xin and couldn't bear it, "It's better for me to carry you on my back." ”

"No, you don't." Zeng Laosan, "I can still walk, and besides, I have been raised in Beishan County for these days, and I have grown a lot of meat on my body, you can't carry me." ”

The three of them hurried home as they spoke.

Seeing that there were still three miles to go home, Zeng Laosan felt that it was difficult to support, "Big brother, I really can't walk, let's sit down and rest for a while." He didn't care about it and sat down in the middle of the road.

"No, no, no." Boss Zeng lowered his voice, "We all have things on us, and the surrounding villages are notoriously bad, so we can't rest here if we want to." ”

Meizi said: "Where is he lazy to rest, don't you see that he really can't go?" ”

Zeng Laosan stopped for a while and wiped the sweat from Zeng Laosan's head with his sleeve, "I'll carry you on my back." He turned the package to his chest and squatted down in front of Zeng Laosan.

Zeng Laosan had no choice but to stop and rest here, and he couldn't walk anymore, so he had to lie on his eldest brother's back.

Zeng Laosan also felt tired all the way, and now Zeng Laosan, who was fat on his back, almost didn't stand up, but fortunately he was ruthless and gritted his teeth and stood up.

In this way, it is slower than before.

"How long is this going to go?" Zeng Laosan said: "Brother, otherwise you and your sister-in-law will leave first with your things, and I will stay and rest before leaving." ”

"Nonsense! How can I rest assured of you. ”

When the boss was struggling to move forward with the third child on his back, a donkey cart came in front of him, and the three members of the Zeng family stood on the side of the road and gave way to their positions.

But the donkey cart stopped in front of them, "Hey, aren't you the people from Qian Zengzhuang who went to repair the city wall?" ”

Boss Zeng looked up and realized that there was Li Zheng on top of the donkey cart.

"What's going on?" Rizheng asked.

"My third brother was injured during the war, and he hasn't recovered, and he can't walk here, so I carry him on my back."

Rizheng jumped out of the car, "Hurry up, put him in my car, and I'll send you back." ”

When did Boss Zeng see that Li was so enthusiastic, he didn't dare to make a move for a while.

"Hey, what's polite, I see that you can't walk like that, put the person down, don't aggravate his injuries."

Zeng Boss thought about it, there was no other way, with his back, he didn't know when he would be able to get home, and he still had food on him, which was too risky.

It's a big deal, and when the time comes, take out some food and give it to Lizheng.

"Thank you, Mr. Lizheng." Zeng Boss put the third child on the donkey cart.

Li was leading the donkey cart to turn around, "If you two can't walk, get on the cart and sit." ”

Boss Zeng said to Meizi: "You go and sit in the car." ”

Meizi was not polite, smiled and thanked Lizheng, and went to the donkey cart to take a place.

Li was leading the donkey cart to Qian Zengzhuang, chatting with Boss Zeng on the way, "I remember your name is Zeng ......"

"My name is Zeng Dashu."

"Oh, yes!" Li Zheng said, "I heard from the people in your village about you, saying that you killed three Yan soldiers with a nail rake, which is very remarkable, and the guards of your group want you to be a soldier."

How? You didn't agree? ”

"The guards have this idea, but I still know how many catties and taels I have, and at that time, it was completely good to be able to kill those three people with the cooperation of the same group, and I had to die under the hooves of the Yan army."

Li Zheng laughed, "You young man is modest, hey, if you don't go to the barracks, you might as well follow me in the future." ”
