Chapter 124: Undercurrent

On the official road from Xinye to Luoyang, there is now a large area of smoke and dust, and the high-quality construction team has changed from the initial scale of less than 3,000 people to nearly 10,000 people. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Gao Pet is also bold enough, just with these 10,000 people, actually have the courage to cross the Funiu Mountain, forcibly widen a road, the whole road was flattened by thousands of people with a variety of tools, Gao Pet has been prepared for this, has deployed five hundred soldiers, all promoted to the northbound chief, the management of the front responsible for opening the road thousands of hardcover line to the fifth day, from the afternoon of the day of the trip, they four days and three hours of time, walked nearly three hundred miles, even if there is a mountain road in the middle, a day is close to seventy miles of speed is definitely an unimaginable speed。

In the evening, after a large group of people had finished dividing the porridge in an orderly manner, they began to eat in the camp in twos and threes. The unique mountain breeze blows from Funiu Mountain to dissipate the heat of late spring and early summer.

Gao Zhong sat on the roof of the grain cart, looked at the people gathered around the camp, and began to think about how the formation would move tomorrow, after all, the speed of the march was too fast, he himself did not expect it.

"Ah Pet, what are you thinking?" A voice pulled Gao Pet back from his thoughts, and it was Shao Yuan. I saw Shaoyuan jump on the grain cart lightly and lie down, "I'm so tired"

Gao Zhong looked at Shaoyuan, bowed his head apologetically and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Shaoyuan"

Shaoyuan waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, I don't have to press the road." It's just pretending to be a homeless person to find out the news inside, nothing, are you worried about something?"

Gao Pet nodded, "That's right, because since the fourth day, there has been no increase in the number of displaced people, although this is in the mountains, but it is also a little difficult to understand, and our speed into the mountains has not slowed down much, and it is getting faster and faster."

Shaoyuan asked, "How long does it take to walk from Xinye to Luoyang?"

Gao pet "Xinye Luoyang across the Funiu Mountain, is six hundred miles apart, if the general grain transport team to go more than 12 days, if not through the Funiu Mountain, take the foot of the official road, the days to add five days, we are now very fast, has walked three hundred miles, if it is not bad, according to this speed, we can arrive in Luoyang in four days"

Shao Yuan asked rhetorically, "Isn't this a good thing? the faster we go, the less loss there will be, and the number of displaced people will not increase, isn't it?"

Gao Zhong shook his head, "That's right, Shaoyuan, but, such a huge grain transportation team, for such a long time, except for a large number of displaced people to join, almost never encountered any malicious homeless groups or bandits, if it is peaceful, it can be understood, but this is a famine year, it is too unusual not to appear, besides, just in this Funiu Mountain, I don't think that there are only so few homeless people hiding in the mountains and forests."

Shaoyuan wondered: "Ah pet, you planned to use this grain cart to lure out the homeless people in the mountains from the beginning, and then let me blend in at the beginning for safety?"

Gao Pet nodded, "That's right, get familiar with your face in advance, remember who is the first day's young man, who is the second day, who is the third day, and who is the fourth day, so I can calculate whether someone will sneak in."

Shao Yuan thought back for a moment during the day, "It's true that you say that, there are always so many people who are always deserting during the day, and I wonder what is going on, it seems that it is the person who came on the fourth day."

Gao Pet touched his chin and narrowed his eyes, "Is it really here to grab food?"

Shao Yuan looked at the people eating porridge below and said, "But they really plan to grab food when they come in, are they enough?

Gao Zhong touched his chin and said, "Family, family, family, family! That's right! Shaoyuan, you are really smart! Tun Chang, please call the brothers who are driving in the back today, I have something to look for them."

Shaoyuan looked surprised, "Ah pet, they haven't been to the front, they shouldn't know those young people."

Gao Pet shook his head, "I don't need them to recognize Qingzhuang!"

After a while, the soldiers who did not go to open the way came to Gao Chong's side, and Gao Chong asked in a low voice, "You go back and ask if there is anything wrong with the relatives of the people who came on the fourth day, not the young and strong, only the women and children, if so, bring them to me."

Everyone is confused, but since the high pet has an order, they must also consciously abide by it.

Shaoyuan asked, "Ah pet, what are you looking for them for?"

Gao Zhong smiled and said, "I don't think I can really find their accompanying women and children."

About half an hour passed, and everyone returned empty-handed, Gao Zhong and Shaoyuan glanced at each other, "The people who came on the fourth day really have a problem!"

Shaoyuan asked, "Ah pet, what should I do now?"

Gao Pet thought about it carefully, "They didn't bring the women and children, they must have left the women and children somewhere, or maybe they were controlled by someone, these displaced people had to mix in, we will distinguish them first, and then make a decision." After an hour, all the young and strong people will receive tomorrow's breakfast in the order of the first, second, third, and fourth days, which means that they will start work early tomorrow, and implement a two-shift system, two shifts of rest, and two shifts of work. ”

All the chiefs nodded, and dispersed.

Gao Zhong then said to Shaoyuan, "Shaoyuan, tomorrow I will trouble you to blend in with the people of the fourth day, the inside and the outside should be combined, I will capture them alive"

"What do you want to do with them after they are captured?" asked Shao Yuan

"I won't kill them, my family can also save them, at least let me know what their situation is, besides, they are all forced by the drought, they have children and daughters, and no one wants to bear a thief's name" Gao Pet sighed, in the face of natural disasters, all the people in the world are just ants, and they can only take risks for their lives.

All the young men were at a loss, not understanding what this young man who sent them food wanted to do, but no matter what he did, he took the initiative to give food, so let's have a good toss with him. And Shaoyuan quietly followed the end of the team on the fourth day, taking advantage of the dark night, and silently blended in. On the fourth day, there were quite a few people, and there were more than 800 people before and after, so Gao Zhong split the more than 200 people into four parts and placed them in different shifts. Then all the chiefs were left behind by Gao Pamper, and told what to prepare for tomorrow.

Shao Yuan, on the other hand, continued to pretend to be someone who came on the fourth day, but Shao Yuan did not blend into the center, but kept on the edge, observing these hundreds of people.

The night is quiet, it is April, the night is no longer so cold, but it is still cool, more than 10,000 people sleep on the ground, everyone has fallen asleep. The way of heaven is not easy, just live.

Shaoyuan couldn't sleep, just stared at the sky blankly, this trip was to go back to Saibei, I don't know how the village where Saibei lives at this moment.

"Shaoyuan, you haven't slept yet?" asked Gao Pet, who came over from the night patrol

"No, I can't sleep, it's not easy to sleep at this time of year" Shaoyuan smiled bitterly and shook his head

"Is it for what reason?" asked Gao Chong, sitting next to Shao Yuan

"In March and April of every year, when the foreigners' wintering stocks are exhausted, and the grass has not yet grown, they will go south to rob the rations, so we usually don't dare to sleep too hard at night, for fear of the aliens coming," Shaoyuan said

"Also, it is not easy for the people in the frontier, natural disasters, foreign races, are all headaches for them, Shaoyuan, you go to bed early, there is a big event tomorrow, you can't doze off" Gao Chong stood up and continued to patrol the night

Shaoyuan also lay on the ground, looked at the moon in the sky and whispered, "Xiaoyue, good night"
