12 Going North 2
Although the other teams that went to Henan, Shanxi and other prefectures and counties did not encounter the same terrifying scene as the team in Shaanxi, they were still shocked by what they saw and heard along the way.
In the early years, everyone may have had the same experience, after all, most of the displaced children recruited on Dayuan Island were recruited by Hongmen because their families could not sustain themselves, and they came to live again on the distant Dayuan Island.
However, these Hongmen students who have just graduated have a vague impression of the hardships and hardships they have experienced, and they have lived in the Hongmen without worrying about food and clothing for so long, although their families also need to pay the price of labor and taxes, but there has never been a shortage of days.
Now that I see the homeless beggars begging all the way up the way, they need to complete the tasks set by Li Tianyang, and if they know what they have seen and heard along the way, they have to deal with these people.
Although they did not enter the boundary of Shaanxi, the rest of their teams were also close to the border of Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi and other neighboring prefectures and counties, and naturally there were groups of displaced people who appeared at the gate of the city.
Moreover, because of the strong control of the government, it has formed a sharp contrast between the outside of the city wall and the inside of the city wall of several neighboring prefectures and counties in Shaanxi, which is more thought-provoking.
The so-called Zhumen wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones, the homeless people and beggars outside the city wall gather more and more, and there are countless people who sell their children and daughters; In the temporary gathering of trading venues, the stewards of the wealthy dignitaries and gentry and landlords, dressed in luxurious clothes, covered their noses, as if they were picking cattle, pointing at and picking at the thin young men between the ages of eight and nine to fourteen and fifteen.
In Hongmen's constitution and the "Democracy Manifesto" that has been instilled for most of the past six months, they have always preached a very important idea, that is, equality.
In Hongmen, even if the natives appear ignorant and ignorant, they will not and cannot be discriminated against by the children of Hongmen, beggars and disabled people cannot be abused or insulted, and even those who make mistakes and prisoners in custody, as long as they do not make any more mistakes, Hongmen people cannot disrespect them.
Everything has been written into the constitution of Hongmen from the very beginning, not only the members of Hongmen must abide by it, but even those merchants who come to Jilong Port to do business, buy and sell, and the slaves and maids and subordinates they bring with them cannot be punished at will in Jilong Port, otherwise they will be severely punished by Hongmen.
This kind of belief in equality that has been deeply immersed in the minds of Bengang students, in the face of the reality of the Ming Dynasty's various unequal encounters, let them form a great contrast in their hearts, if it is not for the constraints of the team leader, there are gentlemen's emphasis and instructions before going out, I am afraid that there are indispensable team members rushing up to make trouble and causing trouble!
What shocked the team members even more was that after entering the city, the team members looked at the beautiful and brightly decorated restaurants, green buildings, and gambling houses, and at night, the Yingge Yan language and the glamorous sound never stopped, and the dignitaries and dignitaries entered and exited it without scruples, spending a lot of money and extravagant nightlife, and then thinking about the poorly clothed and skinny refugee camp outside the wall, everything was so unfair that people couldn't help but want to change it.
When what they have learned and what they know is contrary to the reality of the whole world, people will truly feel the source of these contradictions and conflicts, and will they think deeply about the reasons inside.
Li Tianyang also wanted everyone to experience the miserable life of the poor from the bottom, and deliberately chose such a human purgatory full of crises and strong contrasts to experience the flavors and impermanence of life.
When the last sack of surplus food was exhausted and the last herb was consumed, the team members couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness and sadness when they looked at the homeless people and beggars waiting for death on the side of the road.
There have never been ruthless people, especially these young students who have just graduated from Bengang School, all of them are young and vigorous, and it is the time when they are full of feelings, although they know that they can't save everyone, but in order to feel better in their own hearts, in order to save one more person, they spontaneously use what they have learned to go to the wild to collect herbs and catch voles and so on without surplus food and herbs, and teach the homeless people how to survive in the wild.
There are also team members who sell the goods they carry on the spot, bargain with local merchants, and strive for every penny of profit; Or barter, just to achieve the maximum value of their own products, just hoping to give these rolling refugees more food and medicine.
The captain of the whale unit who led the team watched coldly, except for the materials needed to ensure his team's journey, he let these team members waste all the other materials, anyway, when they were leaving, the commanders said that no matter what this group of student soldiers did, they just need to protect their lives.
Of course, they also have to closely monitor the abnormal movements around them, take precautions in advance, and take all epidemic prevention measures to prevent the team members from infecting the epidemic into the team.
However, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, and two or three teams will be infected with the plague because of close contact with the treatment of plague patients, and at this time, Li Tianyang will come in handy with several doctors with superb medical skills from Huang Youran.
Although they have not been idle all along, and they have also treated many patients and patients along the way, Li Tianyang's preparation in advance has always allowed these team members to survive without danger.
Along the way, the students of Bengang Academy learned from books, allowing them to save countless people in need; And more is what they can't see, what they can't experience, or what they can't deeply understand, along the way, let them go deep into their bone marrow, let them understand the beauty of Hongmen, and many things that Li Tianyang wants to express and show that cannot be described in words.
More than four months later, when a team of exhausted, almost destitute players returned to Huai'an City to reunite, the once high-spirited Bengang students did not have the excitement and excitement when they came out, more regret and helplessness, and even a lot of sadness.
It was a joy to finally see their former classmates, but they didn't have too many maneuvering words and actions, just nodding silently to each other, or smiling bitterly and shrugging their shoulders, but they could represent many things.
The team members rested and slept in several inns under the charter for three days, during which they never went out of the inn door during the meal, drink, and Lazar, and only returned to some energetic team members on the fourth day, so they walked out of the inn and walked around with other friends.
At the same time, the team they came back was much larger, and there were many babies and immature children, who felt that their lives were hopeless, and forcibly left their flesh and blood relatives in front of the team, forcing the team members to be raised.
Five days later, the team, which had reached more than 1,400 people, finally returned in the direction of Dayuan Island.
