"What's wrong?" Zhan Jie was a little confused, and hurriedly asked the people around him, but the soldiers around him were busy one by one, and no one had time to answer him.

Ruan Wenyu and the third company quickly ran to the rear of the transport convoy, and soon saw the group of people who were following, but whether it was him or those soldiers, they were at a loss at the moment. The group that followed was not bandits, they had no weapons in their hands, and they were all shabby, trembling and struggling to walk in the snow. They walked slowly along the two wide and deep ditches pressed out by the rhinoceros transporter, and the group of people had only some sticks or branches to support their walking, and each of them just looked down at the road, limping through the snow and looking like a group of walking corpses.

Suddenly, the person walking in front suddenly felt that something was wrong, and looked up, only to see a group of strangely dressed soldiers with weapons in their hands, all staring blankly at them. Each of the soldiers was dressed in thick yellow coats with a layer of black or dark brown fur on their necklines, which was very warm at first glance, and they wore high white hats on their heads, and from the place where their necklines leaked out, it seemed that they were still wearing some kind of bright red clothes. Everyone was wearing wolf-brown leather boots, their whole body was tightly wrapped, even their faces were wearing white cold-proof masks, and many of them even had windproof goggles, which made these withered followers frightened one by one, thinking that they had encountered a Yin soldier who came to harvest life with the wind and snow. However, these people are used to seeing death in such a cold winter, and it is not a problem to starve to death and freeze to death, and even more than a dozen people have fallen in the march just now, although these people in front of them look terrible, but the worst is death.

Sun hatred is not in love, and the enemy hates from loneliness to early

The two sides stood facing each other for a short while, and one of the refugees asked, "Are the friends on the other side of the country the officers and soldiers?" ”

"It's not." Before Ruan Wenyu could answer, someone next to him replied, Ruan Wenyu glanced at him and said, "We are the Foreign Legion of the Chinese Senate, and we were invited by Emperor Wu to go to Shanxi to put down the rebellion. ”

"It's a guest army," "Let's go!" In the absence of a national concept, the guest army is not only responsible for defending the territory, but also has no love for the local people, robbing refugees is a commonplace standard process, and it is not uncommon to catch refugees and kill them - anyway, they are originally here to quell the chaos. Hearing that the group of officers and soldiers in front of them were guest troops, the refugee group began to stir, and the few people walking in front couldn't help but grab the sticks in their hands, and the women in the back took out the ashes from the bottom of the pot and wiped them on their faces a few more times, while the old man walked forward with difficulty, trying to stop these officers and soldiers.

"Don't panic, everyone! We are not officers and soldiers! "Although Ruan Wenyu has never been a soldier in the Wu Dynasty, there are still many of his subordinates who have served as soldiers in the Wu Dynasty. The current commotion of the group of refugees in front of them can be imagined to be thinking that they must be a guest army from other places.

His voice was also full of anger in this cold wind, so that the refugees in front of him couldn't help but tremble, and turned his head to find that these people in front of him did not have the expression of the previous officials and soldiers who sharpened their knives to pigs and sheep, and the commotion was slightly quiet, but everyone was secretly preparing and wanted to escape at any time.

"It smells so good!" "There's something to eat!" There was a sudden commotion among the refugees, and soon a few of the sharper voices shouted, "Father, mother, I want to eat." "I'm hungry!" Immediately afterwards, the baby's cry also sounded, the mother comforted the baby, and the baby tried her best to cry for a while, and the sound suddenly rang out, making Ruan Wenyu can't help twitching the corners of her mouth, but fortunately, her face was under the cold mask, but no one could see it.

"Battalion commander, what should I do?" A soldier next to him asked, "It's not our business, let the containment team in the back come and collect it." "Yes, battalion commander, it's important to hurry, we haven't even arrived at Dongchang Mansion." Suddenly, there were many voices next to it.

"Brothers over there, can you give a stutter, the child has been hungry for a few days." Soon a woman's voice rang out, "Yes, my children have been hungry for three days, and they don't have any water to drink. ”

The back department is not far away, and the hatred is made by the lonely sail

"Battalion commander, this ......" The third company commander felt a little unbearable, and said tentatively, "Although our main task is to go to Shanxi, and now this is in Shandong, but we still have a special mission to collect refugees, why don't we send them over first?" ”

"Where?" Ruan Wenyu was stunned, his attention was not on his own people next to him at all, there were at least eighty refugees in front of him, not only men in the prime of life, but also women and children, which was absolutely great for the Senate, although the number was a little less, but this was only in Shandong where refugees had already begun to appear, so I was afraid that I would encounter more refugees on the next journey.

"Let's send it back to Qingdao first," the commander of the third company said a little weakly, "Anyway, it's only more than two days to get here, and now it's sent to Qingdao, and it will be sent away immediately, and it just so happens that the Dongfang Port is still there, and they will stay for five days." ”

"That's fine, but who's going to deliver it? It takes more than two days to drive to Qingdao here, and if you walk for more than half a month, if there is no one to escort and no one to supply food, even if this group of people are not starved to death and frozen to death on the way, they may encounter bandits and bandits. Ruan Wenyu said, took a deep breath and said loudly, "Third Company Commander, tell the cooking platoon to prepare two large baskets of hot steamed buns immediately, send them over first, and prepare hot soup at the same time, let them drink some first." After saying that, he shouted to the refugees, "Don't worry, there must be something to eat, wait a minute, we will ask someone to get it, you go with our people to the front to rest." ”

The rest place was about 100 meters at the end of the convoy, and the soldiers of the 3rd Company dug out a place in the snow with sapper shovels, and then used the shaved snow to temporarily build several snow walls, and then covered them with large pieces of canvas, and specially covered them with two layers to prevent the heat from being lost too quickly. Inside the snow house, the soldiers set up small stools on the ground to sit and rest, while they lit several portable stoves in the snow house to keep them warm.

Soon, with the screams of the refugees, several soldiers in white coats walked in with several large baskets, all of which were steaming steamed buns. Without waiting for the soldiers to speak, I saw this group of refugees rushing up, directly surrounding the basket and squeezing out the soldiers who were carrying the frame. The soldiers who were pushed out looked at each other, and they understood the reaction of these refugees, because only a few years ago, they themselves were not much better off than them, but they lived in Annam, which was not cold, otherwise they would have been even more miserable than these refugees.

Hatred and hatred are not in the fight

"Don't rob! Don't rob it! "Stop!" "If you grab it again, you won't be allowed to eat it all!" Several soldiers with cuffs sewn into their right cuffs rushed in and shouted loudly into the crowd, "Stop! If you make any more noise, you'll shoot! However, the refugees are very unfamiliar with the word gun, not to mention that at the moment they only have food in their eyes, who cares so much, as long as they can grab their hands, they can't help but continue to crowd one by one.

"Bang bang bang-" With three successive gunshots, the igloo fell silent at once, and everyone looked in horror at the place where the sound was made. The gendarme with the submachine gun is facing down at the moment, and the muzzle of the gun is still emitting faint light smoke, and the snow room is originally full of the body odor of people who have not taken a bath for a long time, and the smell of gunpowder smoke at this moment makes everyone suddenly quiet, because everyone knows that the meaning of shooting is to release the gun.

The ghost of the ship is not a lonely party

But unexpectedly, the gendarmes did not intend to take back their steamed buns, but continued to talk with a pleasant face. "Don't rush, don't rob!" "There are three steamed buns per person, and if you don't have enough to eat, you can get them again, up to six." "Everybody take a bowl and come here to get the hot soup!"

"Everyone has a share, come and get the bowl!" Soldiers in white coats shouted loudly, waving a wooden bowl in their hands. One by one, the refugees came abruptly, took the bowls from his hands, and then led them to the soup pot under his guidance.

The refugees who walked in front of the soup pot almost dropped their tongues, and the soup was so fragrant that there were a lot of vegetable leaves floating in it, and the smell of spices made people very appetizing when they smelled it. They picked up the bowl and poured the soup into their mouths, and when they drank it into their mouths, they found that the soup was not only very fragrant, but also very delicious, and the slight spicy taste swept away the chill on their bodies.

"The battalion commander has arrived!" With a loud voice, Ruan Wenyu lifted the curtain blocking the door and walked in, and the soldiers inside hurriedly saluted him.

"Hello military master!" A man who looked like a patriarch stood up and was about to kowtow to Ruan Wenyu, but Ruan Wenyu was busy copying him, "Don't don't!" Our Senate doesn't like that. ”

The commander of the third company next to him also hurriedly said, "Yes, yes! In our Oriental Port, we don't kneel, and the boy has gold under his knees, so he can only kneel to the sky and kneel to his parents. ”

"Like, I don't look like a city god master, do I?" Ruan Wenyu said jokingly, causing the refugees in the room to laugh one by one, and then he said, "We were invited by the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty to go to Shanxi to quell the rebellion this time, and at the same time we will provide relief to the refugees along the way, but I didn't expect to meet so early, brothers and sisters, are you locals?" ”

The old man sighed and told the story that they weren't locals, not even from Russy, they were from Wenden. Wendeng's situation at the moment is already very bad, the local gentry rely on the power of the wealthy clan, encroaching on the land of the local people, this is not unusual, Shandong is close to the Beijing Division, many of the big officials in the Beijing Division are out of Shandong, so the collusion between the clan and the gentry is complicated, not to mention that the officials dare not care about these wealthy clans to occupy the people's land, even the military land they also dare to occupy.

After the ghost of the knot far away, the ghost technique is not checked

This group of refugees were peasants in a village south of Wendeng, and had been cultivating there since ancient times, but suddenly one day a year ago, a group of doglegs came to their village with grain officials and a clerk, and showed them an incomprehensible document, saying that the field belonged to some foreign gentry whom they had never heard of, and drove the entire people in their village out of the ice and snow. They were driven out of Wendeng, and without relatives, they went to the governor of Denglai to complain, but they were ransacked by a group of local ruffians and hooligans, but the complaint was not successful, but they were looted even the last of their belongings, and finally they were forced to flee again. This escape is aimless, just following the caravan or the crowd around, there are many of them, even if they meet a kind person to give them something to eat, there is no way to make everyone full, and more than half of them are hungry and frozen to death along the way. Thanks to the fact that the remaining 80 or so people are basically considered to be strong and strong, so they didn't all starve to death and freeze to death on the road. They were driven out of Ningyang a few days ago, and they didn't know where to go, so they walked aimlessly for two days, and when they thought they should all starve to death and freeze to death on the road, they inexplicably found that there were two very strange marks on the official road in front of them, as if they were crawled by two stout snakes, and after walking for a few miles, they could still smell the smell of food, and they immediately became interested in continuing to move along this strange imprint, and then they met the convoy of the Foreign Legion.

"You still have food for us this time, but we are going to continue west, what should you do? Would you like to follow us to a good place? Ruan Wenyu asked tentatively, "What we have in that place is land and work, as long as we are willing to contribute, we will definitely have food." ”

"Don't joke with the military master, if the military master doesn't dislike it, I am willing to follow the military master to fight!" The patriarch hurriedly said, their group of people have been walking in the ice and snow for a long time, and they don't even remember how many people died on the road, and now they finally have something to eat and such a warm place to live, if they get rid of themselves, then they will have to die?

"It's not a joke, although we are going west, but we have a base in Jiaozhou Bay in the east, where refugees are always being gathered, waiting to be transported to the south, if you get there, not only will you have food and shelter, as long as you are not lazy, you will definitely not be hungry, and your children will have books that don't need money......" Listening to Ruan Wenyu's words, the people present couldn't help but be stunned, there is such a good place in this world?" If you wish, we can send two vehicles to take you to Jiaozhou Bay first, and provide you with food along the way, and then you will follow the boat south to where we came. ”
