12 glutinous rice
After this battle, for the 100,000 garrisons of Yumen Pass, although it was only a superficial wound, the people's hearts were in turmoil. The barracks, which stretched for more than ten miles behind the city wall, seemed to be enveloped in fear and uneasiness, overwhelming people. Fortunately, General Lu managed the army well, and the daily operation in the barracks could still be carried out in an orderly manner, and the sergeants only dared to discuss this matter in private.
As for the Taoist priests of the "Yinshan Hall", General Lu still had doubts, and still detained all of them in the camp, but released the head of the Netherworld Daoist alone, asking him to teach him the method of stabbing the heart of the living corpse, so as to train a team of 2,000 elite soldiers who specialize in dealing with the living corpse, in case there are any more strange things about the corpse. The Netherworld Dao Leader didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately prepared overnight.
Xian Jingyue rested in the barracks for a night, since Li Liu's identity had already been discovered by General Lu, there was no need to hide it in the future. Early the next morning, he went to the grocery store on the street, intending to bring Li Liu to the military tent to discuss. At this time, the sky was only dark, but there were already many people gathered on the street behind the wall of Yumen Pass, most of them were Han people doing business here, and the rest were garrisons here, roughly about 200 people, crowding in front of a restaurant, shouting and shouting.
Xian Jingyue was curious, since the closure of Yumen Pass, pedestrians and caravans have received the news that they will not come here in the short term, and even the people who are all doing business have left one after another, and this street has been deserted for many days, how can it be so lively now? He stepped forward and heard some people in the crowd crowded outside the restaurant shouting: "What are you robbing for? You soldiers don't have the ability to kill living corpses, but you people are here to fight for what we?" If it weren't for Grandpa, I would have killed the living corpses to the death, would you have survived until now? If you dare to talk nonsense again, Grandpa will simply take them all away, and not a single grain will be left, and you will be regarded as a confiscated army!"
Xian Jingyue didn't know what everyone was fighting for, and was waiting to find someone to ask, but saw a woman wearing Hu Ren men's clothes pushing away several people one after another, struggling to squeeze into the restaurant, isn't it that Li Liu's first Jingyue hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her back, then Li Liu's was angry and opened his mouth to scold, but found that the person who grabbed him was Xian Jingyue, and immediately smiled, and said, "My lord...... Childe, the owner of this 'send-off building' is from Jiaxing, and the best dim sum is zongzi. Now the boss has already run away, but there are still a lot of glutinous rice wrapped in zongzi in the restaurant, so I'll grab some for you!"
It turned out that there were two corpse mutinies in Yumen Pass in succession, and I don't know where the rumors came from, or the nonsense of the Taoist priest of "Yinshan Hall" was spread by the sergeants, saying that those living corpses are the legendary zombies, but anyone who is killed and injured by zombies will be infected in a few days, and finally become zombies. Therefore, as soon as I heard that there were still hundreds of catties of glutinous rice in this "send-off building", whether it was the remaining Han people on the street or the sergeants stationed there, they immediately flocked to snatch the glutinous rice in the restaurant.
After figuring out what happened, Xian Jingyue couldn't help but sneer. The so-called zombies are ghost stories that circulate in the countryside in the market, and as for what ink fountains, chicken blood, glutinous rice, and other things to deal with zombies are even more made up, how can they be taken seriously? Moreover, these living corpses that appear in Yumen Pass at the moment are clearly the means of the Divine Fire Sect, and they may not be the legendary zombies, so how can they be afraid of these things?
What's more, the cooks who deceived the corpse yesterday were not killed by the living corpse, but died under the knife of the Divine Fire Sect master named Zou Song, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be infected by something. The living corpses in Yizhuang and the city gate before, including the cook who cheated the corpse in the military camp on the right yesterday, have also injured many sergeants and civilians, and even the master Zhou was injured in the leg by the living corpse, but there has been no infection so far, which shows that the so-called "infected corpse poison" is simply nothing.
It's a pity that the fear brought by the living corpse to Yumen Pass has been soaked into everyone's hearts, and as soon as these people and sergeants heard that glutinous rice can detoxify corpses, they were afraid that they would be robbed by others, so where could they tell the truth from the falsehood of the rumors?
Li Liu was convinced of Xian Jingyue, and nodded again and again when he heard it, he wanted to dissuade everyone at the moment. But I heard a sudden shout from the restaurant, shouting: "The glutinous rice is gone, everyone don't grab it!" Then more than a dozen sergeants squeezed out of the restaurant, each carrying a big bag on his shoulder, obviously dividing up the glutinous rice in the restaurant. The soldiers hurriedly stopped them and asked them to distribute the glutinous rice to everyone, and then some of the people could not hold back and stepped forward to punch and kick them, and the soldiers were not to be outdone, and pulled out their waist knives one after another, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Xian Jingyue hurriedly stepped forward to push away those sergeants with bright knives, and Li Liu said even more loudly: "Everyone heard that I am not zombies, and those injured living corpses are not zombies, and they will not be infected! So glutinous rice is useless at all, everyone should not rob it!" Seeing that Li Liu stood up, even if someone "bah", he scolded: "You are a good bitch, when will it be your turn to come out to talk when the Yumen is closed?" You told us not to rob it, but we are afraid that we want to swallow it alone, we are not so stupid!" Li Liu laughed angrily, and immediately counterattacked: "It's true that the old lady is a bitch, but it also depends on the person who picks up customers, like your grandson and old turtle, you are not qualified to go to my bed! Even if you kneel on the ground and lick my feet, the old lady still thinks your mouth stinks!"
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Xian Jingyue was reluctant to take action against these people and sergeants, so he had no choice but to mobilize his killing intent and release the murderous aura all over his body. Fortunately, Master Zhou had already heard about the dispute here, and at this time he had arrived with an army of two hundred people, which brought the situation under control.
Then it was natural that the big things were turned into small things and small things, and Master Zhou moved out of the military law again, and asked the dozen or so sergeants to hand over the glutinous rice in their pockets, and counted them slightly, but they were only seventy or eighty catties, and most of them were obviously robbed by the people who came first. This week, the master is an understanding person, knowing that "glutinous rice can detoxify the corpse" is just a rumor, which has no effect on the current situation in Yumen Pass, in order to appease everyone present, he made the decision to divide the seventy or eighty catties of glutinous rice equally among everyone, so that everyone can get a few taels.
This farce lasted from early morning until noon, and only then did seventy or eighty catties of glutinous rice be divided. Li Liu also got a share, and seeing that it was past noon, he invited Xian Jingyue to her grocery store for dinner. After Xian Jingyue heard about her experience from General Lu yesterday, she inevitably felt some sympathy in her heart, and immediately said: "I have already told Lu Yuanpo about your identity, and there is no need to hide it in the future." As for your mission at Yumen Pass, you don't have to worry about it in the future. When it comes to this, you go back to Jiangnan with me, and I will ask Gao Xiao to transfer you. ”
Hearing this, Li Liushi was silent for a while, his eyes were already flashing, and he quickly turned around and wiped his eyes, changed to a smiling face and asked: "My lord means that from now on, I can follow you?" ”
Li Liu nodded again and again, and said: "The humble duty is all under the orders of the adults, but the people take food as the sky, and this lunch must be eaten after all." If the adults don't dislike it, they will go to the lowly place to have a light meal, and just take glutinous rice to wrap two zongzi. With that, she pulled up Xian Jingyue's sleeve and dragged him towards the grocery store. Xian Jingyue because of this glutinous rice, the whole morning can be described as anxious, at this moment to hear her mention glutinous rice again, suddenly the heart moved, a little hindsight.
Seeing that Xian Jingyue did not break free, Li Liu's eyebrows immediately fluttered, and he wanted to drag him back to his grocery store immediately. Xian Jingyue was dragged by her and walked out a few steps in a daze, and suddenly woke up and said: "No, this glutinous rice is only afraid that there is a problem!"
