Chapter 97: Settle the victims and enter the city at night
When they returned to the cave, when they saw the rice, everyone became excited, and even the sick homeless man who was leaning on the stone lost his sleepiness, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone was busy together, and some people couldn't wait to untie the sack and grab the rice, their faces full of surprise.
Some people went to the spring to brush the iron pot, and some people found a few stones and set them up by the campfire.
Pour the rice into the pot, then stir-fry, in order to fry evenly, so that it will not be muddy, someone found two wooden sticks, and kept stirring in the iron pot.
With smiles on their faces, everyone gathered around the iron pot, smelling the aroma of rice gradually wafting from the rice. Everyone was talking about it, looking forward to it as soon as possible. Some people have already started to laugh.
Not to mention that everyone was looking forward to this feast, Alayanzong asked the two people to wash the clay pots, he opened the cloth bag, picked up the herbs, and put them in two clay pots. Someone helped him to get the spring water, and carried it to the campfire to boil the herbs.
Allah Xiaoer helped fry the rice, and Ula Peach and Alayanzong guarded the medicine jar.
Alayanzong also ordered a few men to go out and find some hay, saying that it would be useful in a while.
The first pot of rice was cooked, and everyone was just about to grab it, but Alayanzong stopped it, suggesting that it be distributed to those who were sick and weak first. Although the others were also extremely hungry, they didn't complain, just swallowed and waited.
The second pot of rice was cooked and distributed among the women and children.
The third pot, the fourth pot...... They were divided in turn.
When the herb was boiled, someone took a bowl and shared the soup with the sick to drink.
Everyone was finally full, and the two pots of fried rice had not stopped. According to the meaning of the Alayan sect, all these seven bags of rice should be fried and distributed to everyone so that they can be easily carried and eaten.
Five or six cans of medicinal herbs were also boiled, except for those who needed to drink medicine, others who were not infected also drank some, and everyone knew that the Alayan sect was to prevent the plague for everyone.
In addition, there were a few people who were sick with not the plague, or abdominal pain, or headaches, and Alayanzong picked some herbs and boiled them.
The night was full of excitement and joy as they distributed the fried rice to everyone.
After the excitement, most of them have fallen asleep peacefully.
But Na Ayan Zong couldn't sleep yet, he had already had people fill the empty rice bag with hay in advance, and Ula Peach helped him re-sew the mouth of the cloth bag.
Alayanzong took five or six people and returned to the village with straw cloth bags.
The old trick was repeated, and he came to the compound, put the straw cloth bag back on the original car, and re-tied the car with a rope. It looked as if the car had never moved.
Returning to the cave, Alayanzong and the others were tired from a long night's work, so they fell asleep by the bonfire against the stones.
In fact, everyone slept for less than an hour, the sky had already brightened, and even Alayanzong, who usually likes to get up early, had not woken up yet. It wasn't until the dawn of the day that the people were awakened by the sunlight that had shone into the cave, and they got up one after another.
As soon as they opened their eyes, someone couldn't help but grab the fried rice that was still warm and put it in their mouths, chewing it with relish.
When everyone woke up, the question of what to do was put before them again.
It is impossible for people to stay in this cave all the time, what will happen if each person has a few catties of rice, and after eating, there is still nothing to eat?
It is still necessary to find a place to stay, in a crowded place, even if you go to beg for food, you can find food.
The officers and soldiers of this village will not be allowed to stay. Discuss and discuss, they still have to go to the royal city, although they still don't know the specific situation of the royal city, but they always have to try, it is more hopeful than staying in this cave all the time.
As for getting through this level, there are two ways, one is to bypass this mountain. One is to wait until the evening, as it was last night, and sneak by. But it's going to take a day here, and the day will definitely not pass.
The crowd is leaning towards the second approach.
According to Alayanzong's analysis, if you stay here for one more day, people's food will be tight for a day, and it is necessary to inquire about the situation in the royal city first.
In the end, he decided that the three of them would go up the mountain and bypass the checkpoint from the mountain to the royal city.
The crowd can wait until the evening to cross the level, and during the day they can go to the mountains to find some prey and replenish their food.
Everyone agreed.
There were still a lot of medicinal herbs left, so Alayanzong called a few women to his side, told them the precautions for boiling medicinal herbs, and then led the two of them to set off.
After about two or three miles, I finally found a path to climb the east mountain.
Walking through the rocks and woods, Alayanzong piggybacked on two more pheasants and handed them over to Allah.
Although I made a long detour and walked more than ten miles of mountain roads, I finally bypassed the checkpoint and returned to the official road.
I saw that the dust was flying in front of me, and if I looked closely, it was the convoy carrying grain and grass that had just passed.
For the rest of the journey, they didn't meet anyone else.
After walking for another day, I already saw the shadow of the royal city, which looked like it was about twenty or thirty miles. It's a plain, far from the mountains.
The three of them quickened their pace, trying to enter the royal city before dark.
When it was dark, they finally reached the east gate of the royal city, but the gate was closed and the drawbridge was raised, and they could no longer enter the city.
Alayanzong looked at the surrounding terrain, the terrain outside the royal city was relatively open, and he could see far away at a glance, and there was a small forest two or three miles south of the city, where the terrain was undulating.
The three of them decided to go there and take a break.
Finding a dirt slope, surrounded by wattles, which could still block some night winds, the three of them pulled some hay, took out the sheepskin and deerskin and laid it, and then rested here.
After eating some rabbit meat, it was already completely dark.
Alayanzong warned the two of them not to move around while they were here, and he wanted to take advantage of the night to explore the city. Along the way, I didn't meet anyone else entering the city, let alone anyone leaving the city, and it seemed that I couldn't enter the city during the day.
You have to know what is going on in the city before you can decide whether to enter the city and stay for a long time.
The two of Ulla's Peach understood what he meant, so they rested and waited here.
When Alayanzong came to the south gate of the city, he looked at the ten-meter-wide moat, and he couldn't see clearly how deep the water in the river was.
The city wall was dark, and there were no officers and soldiers to watch.
Alayanzong looked at the suspended bridge that was hoisted high again, and stepped back more than ten meters. Suddenly, he ran up again, and when he reached the moat, he suddenly rose up, turned over in the air, and when his body fell, he grabbed the upturned end of the drawbridge with both hands.
With both hands, he had already flipped to the other side of the drawbridge, and then slid down the drawbridge.
Then he ran west along the root of the city wall, and came to the southwest corner, and took the corner of the city wall with both hands, and climbed up quickly with both hands and feet.
When he reached the head of the wall, he looked in, and when he saw that there was no one, he climbed over the battlements and landed on the wall, and then quickly found the steps and went down the wall.
