Chapter 789: Tears of Excitement
Yun Ye strode over, Yao Rong and Yun Chang stopped chatting, Yao Rong's face was indifferent, this time the allocation of grain and grass was personally checked by him, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with it.
Yun Ye walked up to Yun Chang and Yao Rong and said excitedly: "Uncle, the inspection has been completed, there is no problem." ”
Yun Chang nodded, and smiled at Yao Rong: "Trouble the general!" ”
Yao Rong said with a smile: "The matter in the part, since Si Zhu has counted it correctly, please ask the high priest to sign and confirm!" ”
The subordinate officials behind Yao Rong stepped forward at the right time to present the roster and pen and ink, and Yun Chang took it without hesitation and signed it without looking at it.
After signing, Yun Chang hugged his fists and said: "General, without further ado, let's leave, let's see you in Orange Mountain next year!" ”
Yao Rong smiled and saluted: "Have a good journey, I will not send it far, goodbye to Orange Mountain!" ”
Yao Rong went away with his own soldiers and subordinate officials, and the city gate of Shuozhou slowly closed, and there were only people from the wilderness and carts full of grain.
The people of Da Zhou have gone away, and there are only their own people in the wilderness, Yun Chang looked at the big cars one by one, and said excitedly: "Sons, what are you waiting for, this is all our food for the winter, don't you transport it back to the tribe soon!" ”
That's a lot of food! The desolate people immediately flocked to the car, gathered around the carts, and excitedly opened the grain packets.
"It's really food!"
"That's a lot of food!"
……
Cheers resounded through the wilderness, and even drifted to the walls of the city with the wind.
For the barren people, who are constantly on the brink of starvation, what could be more attractive than food?
Although it is not easy to transport back to the Great Wilderness this way, everyone is still excited, even ecstatic, as for the hard work of transporting grain, it is not at all in their eyes, not to mention that there is a big car, even if they carry back bags and bags, they are not too hard, and absolutely no grain will be left.
Although the imperial court prepared a cart for them, it was impossible to prepare cattle and horses for them, after all, making a wooden cart was just a matter of cutting down a few more trees, but cattle and horses were scarce, and even the imperial court would not give so many cattle and horses to the barren people in vain.
However, the desolate people were also prepared, and put their own horses on the cart. However, the court felt sorry for the cattle and horses, and they were even more distressed, after all, they were even more lacking in cattle and horses.
So although they put on their war horses, these desolate people were not idle, they came to the back of the carriage and shouted trumpets to push the carriage forward.
There are no roads in the wilderness, and it is even more difficult for the cart to walk, but these wilderness people are not afraid of hard work at all, and the loud horn is flying in the air, just like their mood.
The vast wilderness stretches to the horizon, as if there is no boundary, and the low hills surround a sheltered col, and the simple and low stone houses are lined up all over the place, this is the tribe of the desolate people.
The children of the tribe chased after me, and some black, thin and strong women walked in groups of three or five with bows and arrows and machetes on their backs to the depths of the wilderness.
When the men went with the high priest to carry the grain, they took up their bows and arrows and machetes and went hunting, and the men went away, leaving the women and children to fill their stomachs.
Blood stains could still be seen on the thick machetes, and although most of the hunting was carried out by men, they were no strangers to women.
As they walked, they gossiped, not about their parents, but about who had caught what prey where, and who had died in the mouth of the beast yesterday......
Their faces were very calm, because they were used to seeing life and death, this was their desolate life, of course, maybe the fate of their desolate people was about to take a turn.
Because the high priest went to the capital to submit to the Great Zhou, as long as he helped the Great Zhou to overthrow the temple and unify the world, they could move out of the Great Wilderness and go to the jungle in the southwest.
I heard that it is full of green trees, wild flowers, and mountain springs and streams, what a desirable place.
The high priest also said that he went to Shuozhou to transport grain, a lot of grain, so that the tribesmen could eat enough and not have to go hungry anymore.
Full of food? How long has it been since you had a full stomach?
I don't remember, they stood on the hill and looked east, a large black line was emerging, slowly moving towards the tribe.
Is that? Is it the high priest who has returned? Is it the grain that has come back? Did you really bring back the grain? That cart is full of grain?
"Ah, the High Priest is back! The High Priest has returned with the grain! ”
The shouts were heard all over the hills, and they ran off into the distance with machetes and bows and arrows on their backs.
The women walked like the wind through the wilderness, falling, getting up, and running away into the distance......
It was indeed the high priest who had returned from carrying grain and grass, and it had been very hard to carry the grain all the way, and now they were about to return to the tribe, and everyone's tired faces carried the joy and excitement of returning home.
Women from all over the mountains in the distance ran towards this side, and the men of these desolate tribes pushed the carriage even harder.
Closer, closer, so many carts, each full of grain bales. The women who came looking at the grain carts and asked excitedly, "High priest, high priest, are these grains?" ”
The High Priest laughed and said, "Of course, it's all food!" It's better for you to come and help push the grain cart back to the tribe! ”
This journey is difficult, many grain trucks have broken down, and they all rely on manpower to transport, thanks to the fact that the desolate people are naturally strong and can endure hardships.
The women ran into the convoy to look for their men, and they kept touching the food bags, although they were separated by the food bags, they could clearly feel that they were really filled with food.
Some women can't wait to open the food bag when they get to their man's side, it is food, a lot of food, and they dig their hands deep into the food bag, they can't help but burst into tears, this is a tear of surprise.
In the past, the tribe would go to fight the autumn wind every year and come back with some grain and grass, but it was the first time they had seen so much grain.
Lots of big cars! What a lot of food! Whether it is a woman or a man, shouting together and pushing the cart towards the tribe, there are women running constantly, and they are all excited to see this scene with tears in their eyes.
As the procession of carrying grain got closer and closer, the children who remained in the tribe also discovered the procession, and the children shouted loudly in the tribe.
"The High Priest has returned with food!"
"The High Priest has returned with food!"
"That's a lot of grain carts!"
Hordes of children ran out of the tribe and ran away on their short legs, their faces flushed with excitement.
It wasn't until they ran to the convoy carrying grain that they were even more shocked, there were many big trucks, and there were many grain bales piled on each big truck.
Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva while being excited, and heard the high priest say before leaving, when the grain was brought back, everyone would be able to eat their stomachs, and they didn't know if it was true or not.
