Chapter Ninety-Six: The Fat and Thin Two Soldiers
At this time, Wang Yuanfeng came to the place where the army disappeared, and saw that the ship was occupied by refugees, and originally wanted to mix in to see the situation, but it would inevitably cause misunderstanding when he entered, and he was not good at camouflage, so he just observed nearby.
After observing for two or three hours in a row, I also knew that these were those who escaped from the boundary of Nanzhou, basically there were mostly young people, and there were still very few old and weak women and children.
From the beginning, I saw that the status was close to a thousand, and in less than two hours, hundreds of people came one after another, but most of them were young and strong, and there were old and weak women and children, but there were very few.
Whenever a woman appeared among the refugees, the group stared like wolves, and as long as there were few people around, they went up directly and grabbed it.
"It is estimated that it is difficult for the old and weak women and children to leave if they want to leave, and it is estimated that these young and strong people are also lazy and lazy, and most of them are alone. ”
Wang Yuanfeng thought secretly.
In fact, it is true, most of them are single, homeless, unemployed, no worries, one person is fed, the whole family is not hungry, and they want to go wherever they want.
In the era of war and chaos, no one wants to be a soldier, unless there is a family business, they will protect the family and defend the country, or people with outstanding ability.
As long as there are self-aware people, they will not be willing to work for others, so they will catch strong men.
Wang Yuanfeng felt that he couldn't see much, these ships were just dismantled, but the skeletons were still intact, as long as the army had time to spare time, they could be recaptured, and maybe they would be co-opted into these people.
Just about to leave, I suddenly heard a sound of talking, thought for a while, decided to observe, found a hidden place to take a look, and saw two people wearing military uniforms, one fat and one thin, building a house.
Although the two were dressed similarly, they were of different colors, one wore red clothes and the other wore blue clothes, and each carried a knife on his body.
The two were busy talking while they heard the fat soldier next to them say, "Brother, how many of you escaped there?"
"We've got hundreds of people on the run. The thin one threw a piece of wood at the fat man and said, "Who doesn't want to live if they have to run away these days?"
The fat soldier took the wood and put it on the stone wall, and said, "Yes, I am alone, and I have never even touched a woman, and I feel really unwilling to lose my life." ”
The thin soldier was silent and did not speak, and smashed a pile of mud with a stick, as if venting all the grievances in his heart on the mud.
After pounding for a while, he took a shovel made of wood, scooped up a pile of mud, and laid it on the roof of the house with stones, and the fat soldier had already spread the prepared grass on it.
Thin soldiers shoveled mud on top of the built house with spades, and fat soldiers spread the mud on top of it.
When Wang Yuanfeng saw them building a house like this, it seemed that he was going to live here for a long time.
The thin soldier shoveled for a while before he spoke: "As soon as you say this, I will be aggrieved, and when I see those king's wives and children hot kang heads, I really panicked." ”
The fat soldier also felt uncomfortable when he heard this, and while working, he said: "Who is not aggrieved, let's live first and marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
"Brother, how many of you escaped?" said the thin soldier, looking up at the fat soldier who was working hard.
The fat soldier was already covered with sweat, and from time to time there were sweat dripping on the mud, as if he didn't feel the heat at all, and when he heard the thin soldier speak, he didn't raise his head and said, "Thousands of people." "The net starts
After a while, the fat soldier continued: "Those who have families have run to the mountains, and they can find a place where no one can open a few acres of land, build two rooms, and can have wives and children hot kang heads, and we all ran out of the redundant." ”
"Huh. The thin soldier laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "We're pretty much the same, I just came out to find a way to live, and to marry a daughter-in-law when I'm more stable." ”
"I can only do this, find a way to live first, save for more than ten years, and marry a daughter-in-law, I have no regrets. The fat soldier replied according to his own thoughts.
The thin soldier thought about it, it was true, and he still had a thought when he ran somewhere else, except that he couldn't live anymore, who would want to leave his hometown, and then said to the fat soldier: "As long as whoever gives me a way to live, let me kill people and set fires, I won't frown." ”
"It would be nice to have it. The fat soldier said weakly, clapped his hands on the mud on the roof, got off the roof, and said, "Why are you inquiring and seeing, to see if others know how to live." ”
The thin soldier looked at the temporary shelter built by the two, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Why don't you stay here for a while, inquire more about the place, where is there no war, and then set off after inquiring, with our physical strength, it is more than enough to be a nursing home for a large family." ”
"Hmm. The fat soldier nodded while looking at the masterpieces of the two, and said to the thin soldier: "We are still young, and after finding a way to live, we will mix for ten or eight years, and it will not be too late to start a family by then." ”
Hearing this, Wang Yuanfeng understood a little, no wonder they all ran out, it turned out that in the final analysis, it was to marry a daughter-in-law, as long as there was a way to live, they could work hard themselves, and it didn't sound like a lazy person, nor was it a person who didn't do his job.
Wang Yuanfeng suddenly had an idea, if he could give them some hope, would it be fair to gather these people, give them a way to live, and let them do things for themselves.
Thinking of this, Wang Yuanfeng showed his figure and walked out.
The fat and thin soldiers are also alert people, and Wang Yuanfeng deliberately shows his figure, and after noticing it, he holds the hilt of the knife tightly, although he is not like a big enemy, but he also takes precautions.
The two of them were accustomed to seeing people in rags, and suddenly a young man with luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament appeared, and they both felt strange, and they didn't know what to say for a while, so they stood there vigilantly.
When Wang Yuanfeng saw the two of them like this, he stepped forward and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, you two, I just want to ask you a few questions." ”
The thin soldiers on the side glanced at each other, nodded, and the thin soldier said, "This son, please ask, as long as you can say it, you will never hide it." ”
But thinking that the two of them have nothing to worry about, and seeing that Wang Yuanfeng is not a villain, he slowly relaxed.
"Do you want to get ahead?" Wang Yuanfeng said after thinking for a while.
As soon as the two of them heard that their hands were holding the scabbard tightly, their bodies tightened, ready to shoot at any time, and they became vigilant again, and the fat soldier said, "Your Excellency was next to you just now." ”
Wang Yuanfeng saw that both of them were very vigilant, and nodded secretly, no matter the troubled times, you must first be able to protect yourself before you can do anything else.
The heart of harming people is indispensable, the heart of defense is indispensable, it will not protect itself, and it will often be gnawed and there is no scum left, just when I came over, I found a few simple traps, which seem to be from the hands of the two.
Although it is difficult to find Wang Yuanfeng, it can also show that both of them are people with hearts.
Sure enough, he didn't see the wrong person, Wang Yuanfeng thought secretly.
Then his hand went deep into his arms, and both of them looked at him vigilantly, although they didn't know what he was going to do, they could also judge that he had no intention of harming others, and it didn't look like he had cultivated evil laws.
I saw Wang Yuanfeng take out a piece of gold from his arms, raised his hand, threw it to the two, and said: "My son has something that you need to do, this is a deposit, as long as it is done, you can get ahead." ”
The thin soldier took the gold in his hand, took it in his hand, tossed it upside down, and nodded to the fat soldier.
The fat soldier also knew that this was real gold, such a large piece could be exchanged for dozens of taels of silver, and it was convenient to do anything after having this foundation, which could be said to be a windfall.
Both of them were a little excited, but they were still nervous, and the fat soldier said: "This son, although such a big piece of gold, our brother is also very tempted, but take people's money and eliminate disasters with others, please make it clear what the prince wants us to do, if we want to kill people and set fires, do things that hurt heaven and reason, we will not be blessed." ”
Wang Yuanfeng nodded secretly, sure enough, they were all loyal people, seeing that the thin soldier was about to throw the gold back, Wang Yuanfeng waved his hand, signaling him that he didn't have to throw it over.
The two of them saw that they didn't have to return it first, and they were secretly relieved, to be honest, it was fake not to be moved, and their good impression of Wang Yuanfeng also increased, so they heard Wang Yuanfeng say: "I think the two of you are loyal and righteous people, I will talk about things first, if the two don't agree, I will turn around and leave, and the gold will be used to fund the two." ”
As soon as the two of them heard this, they felt that this boy had a good character, although he didn't do anything, and it was impossible for him to really be greedy for this piece of gold, but his vigilance against Wang Yuanfeng gradually weakened, and the thin soldier said: "Son, please say, as long as it doesn't hurt heaven and reason, our brother can do it, and he will never say anything." ”
The fat soldier nodded approvingly.
Wang Yuanfeng looked at the form of the two of them, and secretly thought that although this money is not omnipotent, the most direct means of expressing the meaning is also a good thing to test people's conduct, so he said to the two: "Then I will make a long story short, as long as the two of them organize these refugees." ”
"This ......" The two of them were also a little embarrassed, although they knew that this was a good errand, as long as they agreed, they would ascend to the sky in one step, but they looked at themselves in rags, and looked at Wang Yuanfeng with a little embarrassment.
"Haha. Wang Yuanfeng smiled, and felt that he didn't make it clear, so he said: "When the time comes, as long as you organize people, I will find a way to make money and food in the early stage, and all you have to do is to build a city and live in this place." ”
When the two of them heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the job was saved, so they asked, "May I ask the son's name?"
"Wang Yuanfeng. Wang Yuanfeng said three words lightly.
When the two heard this, they glanced at each other, understood their hearts, and knelt down on the ground and said: "Subordinates Zhang Yi, Li Zhong, meet the son of Yuanfeng, the son has some orders, and the subordinates go to the soup to fight the fire, and they will not give up." ”
After speaking, he lowered his head and knelt on the ground with some nervousness, Wang Yuanfeng could see that the two of them were nervous, and they thought about it, people go to high places, and water flows to low places, this is the principle of heaven, not to mention that it is not necessary to do things that hurt heaven and reason.
It seems that both of them are flexible people, and it is common sense to be able to worship their subordinates.
"You two can climb. Wang Yuanfeng looked at the two people on the ground and said: "Originally, I just asked you to do something, and whether you can reuse it in the future depends on your performance." ”
The two knelt on the ground and listened to Wang Yuanfeng say this, first tightened, and then breathed a sigh of relief, secretly climbing the big tree for the time being, but they were still so nervous that they didn't even dare to raise their heads.
