Chapter 21: Burned
A wail, like a signal, shook the sky in an instant.
Many people have been busy all night, and their bodies are black and mushy, but after so much effort, they are exhausted, but at this time they can be regarded as completely broken.
Many women and children were covering their mouths and weeping, and this fire had destroyed all their hopes!
Zhao Ming stood in the crowd and was also dark, and those who didn't know thought he had just gone down the mine.
However, Rao is determined to be a little nervous at the moment.
This fire burned nearly 400 stones of grain, and only more than 50 stones remained....
That is, there are still 6,000 catties of grain left, which they still worked hard all night to rescue back.
But 6,000 catties of grain seems to be a lot, but Fengjiazhuang has so many mouths, how long can it last?
No matter how much you save, a month! Just last a month!
It's still about tightening your belt to count the days.
It is true that many farmers have nothing to do and can reduce their rations, but the cooks who nurse the yards and cook every day have to ensure that they eat and drink.
Especially the guards, if the guards don't have enough to eat, how can they defend against foreign enemies?
And that's not even counting the livestock in the Zhuangzi, especially the horses.
There are more than 80 horses in the village, and these horses eat more than a farmer every day.
This is calculated as a month, even if some chickens, ducks and pigs are slaughtered, it will be a month at most.
In one month, the whole Zhuangzi had to become a homeless person.
How to keep everyone from collapsing, how not to make everyone cry bitterly.
"This.... That's fate! ~Even God is going to die to our Feng family...."
Master Feng came here with the support of the maidservant, and looked at the scene in front of him, his already old face seemed to be even more twilight.
As he spoke, he stumbled, his chest rose and fell violently, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, followed by a mouthful of old blood spurting out.
"Sir!"
"Sir!"
Seeing this scene, the already chaotic crowd became even more confused.
Zhao Ming was also a little anxious, he hadn't completely mastered the entire Fengjiazhuang, if the old man died, it would be a lot of trouble to suppress everyone.
"Virtuous son-in-law~"
As Zhao Ming approached, Old Man Feng, who was supported by several people, lifted a sense of spirit and grabbed Zhao Ming's arm.
"Father-in-law, you say!" Zhao Ming said busily.
"Hyun... Virtuous son-in-law.... The thing you said.... I'm afraid we won't be able to do it! We.... We can't wait for Fengjiazhuang! ”
Saying that, Master Feng was in a hurry, but fortunately, someone next to him hurriedly gave him a smooth back, so that he could ease up.
Zhao Ming's face was also very solemn, and there was a burst of angry scolding in his heart.
His plan was burned clean by this fire, and the anger in his heart can be imagined.
It was supposed to be a blueprint script for building a high wall and accumulating grain, but it was destroyed by this fire.
"Virtuous son-in-law! I.... I know, do you still have a way? You said.... Is there any way to save Fengjiazhuang! ”
Old Man Feng grabbed Zhao Ming's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Fengjiazhuang has been in the hands of his old Feng family for so many years, if this is destroyed in his hands, he doesn't know how to go down and face the ancestors and ancestors.
And once Zhuangzi does not have enough food to eat, it will definitely be an unimaginable disaster, and then the master will not be the master, and the servant will not be a servant! Some have only the ugliest side of human nature.
And what will happen to the old five who can't pick up their shoulders and can't lift their hands?
I'm afraid that the roots of the old Feng family are going to be broken!
Zhao Ming took a deep breath and did not rush to answer Master Feng, but looked up at the sky that was still emitting black smoke, a little desperate.
Thief God!
"Uncle Yue, the son-in-law does have a way...."
"What?"
"Looting military rations!"
Hearing this, Master Feng was stunned, and he looked at Zhao Ming seriously.
Xu was shot by Zhao Ming last time, he couldn't believe it, but when he looked at Zhao Ming's eyes carefully, he couldn't see the slightest dodge.
After being silent for a long time, Master Feng exhaled deeply, as if he had unloaded all his burdens.
"I.... I agreed.... Son-in-law, do what you want! Really.... People don't destroy the heavens and the earth for their own sake!
Thief God, since you want us to die! That's simply, if you want to die, you have to fight hard, let it go....."
As he spoke, Master Feng stood up straight with the support of several people, and the person seemed to be refreshed, he took a breath, looked around, and shouted,
"From now on, everything will obey my virtuous son-in-law Zhao Ming, his words are my words! Who would dare not to look from me and not break his dog's legs!
Other than that! What Zhao Ming wants recently, everything is fully supplied, and there must be no mistakes! ”
As soon as the words fell, Master Feng completely fainted as if he had drained all his strength.
For a while, there was chaos at the scene.
At this time, everyone couldn't care about grief, some doctors from Zhuangzi came to check the situation, and some people began to clean up the mess.
The scene became busy again.
After a while, I learned that the old man had many discomforts, and now he was in a hurry, and I was afraid that time was running out.
Zhao Ming's mood couldn't help but be very melancholy.
it!
Zhao Ming couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth in his heart.
I wanted to do a good job in Fengjiazhuang, since there are so many materials.
Zhao Ming thought about it and worked every step of the way.
Snatching military rations, he actually thought about this matter when Master Feng first raised this matter.
But it was just a fleeting flash of crazy thoughts, like sometimes people imagine what it would be like if they jumped from a building.
But right now, this is just an almost crazy idea that exists in the depths of my heart, and I have to put it into action at this time.
But even if you grab military rations, you will have to wait at least a month before you can barely do it.
After all, it takes time to explore the terrain and find out the transportation rules and habits of the logistics escort team.
The most important thing is the training time.
Since it is a rush to grab military rations, we can only fight a quick battle, first kill people and then rush to grab food and supplies, and from the start of the move to the evacuation, before and after, it cannot exceed a quarter of an hour.
And you have to pick a dark and windy night, otherwise the bright moon hangs high, and the traces of the hauled car wheels are easy to be seen.
Similarly, the other side soon found out the reason for this incident.
"Zhao Ye, he is a knife bandit who was hidden before and was not discovered! Fuck these guys are really thieves, I just came over from the courtyard wall.
Fortunately, you told us last night that no matter what happened here, we couldn't come, otherwise we would really let this group of dogs get their hands on it. ”
Lao Chang said, and he couldn't help but be afraid for a while.
Last night he stayed up all night, and he stayed up all night as well.
After an hour or two of stalemate with those knife bandits, these wolf-like fellows gradually retreated.
Hearing this, Zhao Ming's face sank.
This group of knife bandits will always be a hidden danger if it is not solved, and once he acts when the time comes, it is difficult not to guarantee that the knife bandits will not make a move.
"Master Zhao, why don't we just give all those victims to .....?"
"Killed? More than a hundred people, right? Don't think about killing all day. ”
Zhao Ming shook his head, and hearing this, Chang Wei was a little dumbfounded.
I didn't think about killing anyone, I just wanted to expel it.
"How about driving all these people out?"
"Useful? How can you be sure that something is wrong with this group of victims? The lesson of Liu Er's incident is not heavy enough? Zhao Ming shook his head.
"That.... So what to do? This always makes these people make trouble inside, and this is not a solution..."Chang Wei was a little worried.
"Afraid of what? We don't have the energy to deal with them right now.
Expand the convoy first, you go and pick people, remember, pick two groups of people. ”
"Two batches?"
"Yes, a group of people who are honest and obedient for me, and those who are strong or not must be honest and obedient.
I picked the other batch from the victims and waited for them to eat. ”
Zhao Ming's words really gave Chang Wei no answer.
"Zhao.... Zhao Ye.... Why do you have to pick time? This calls them out to stand up, and isn't it over picking them one by one? ”
"If you don't understand, talk less!"
Zhao Ming choked Lao Chang with a word.
"When they eat, you see who eats quickly and in a hurry, and when they finish eating, they still look at others. That's the kind of person I want.
There are not many people in this group, so I will pick thirty people. "
Hearing this, Chang Wei nodded, vaguely as if he understood something.
It seems that Zhao Ye is choosing a rice bucket?
——
The next day, in the morning, the gate of Fengjiazhuang was already open early in the morning, and seventy young men on horseback were pouring out.
It can be seen that some people are very familiar, and some people stumble on horseback, as if they are about to fall down in the next moment.
Zhao Ming took the lead but ignored these, and kept moving forward at a speed that was neither fast nor slow.
The outside is still the same, because of the drought, now it is also dusty all day long, and the wind blows as if it has reached the high slope of the loess, which makes people unable to open their eyes.
