Chapter 122: It's Dawn (Third Watch)

Chapter 123

This is a wild wharf outside the deciduous city, where the grass is withered in winter and the snow is covered for thousands of miles. The cold wind blew, and the wind was like a knife in the face.

Cheng Dalei leaned against a big tree wrapped in Da Yu, and the ghost face axe was beside him, a position that he could hold at will. At this point, the handle of the axe is colder than ice. Cheng Dalei couldn't help but think about how people fought in such weather in this era.

As soon as the ship docked, Cheng Dalei scattered the people on the boat and formed a cordon around the grain ship. In this way, once someone approaches, Cheng Dalei can be alert as soon as possible.

The sound of dead grass being trampled on the soles of his shoes sounded behind him, Cheng Dalei subconsciously held the axe, and turned around to see that the person approaching was Su Ying.

"It's so cold, why did you come out?" asked Cheng Dalei.

"I'll come and stay with you. Su Ying whispered, squatted down beside Cheng Dalei, and sighed in a low voice: "It's so cold!"

"Hmm. ”

"Aren't you cold?"

Cheng Dalei said in his heart: Aren't you talking nonsense?

Suddenly, he felt that his left hand was grabbed by Su Ying's small hand, and he lowered his head and sighed: "Is it still cold?"

"Actually...... Your hands are cooler. ”

"......" Su Ying.

"You'd better go back, stay here, and mess with our army. ”

Some people have already quietly looked here, thinking that they are the masters of the village, and instead of accompanying their brothers to suffer from the cold, they will talk to me and me with a woman, what is it like.

At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and Cheng Dalei suddenly came to his senses and clenched his axe.

What does the saying come about, friends come with good wine, and enemies come with axes.

"Big boss, the military division is back!" someone brought the news.

I could only hear the sound of horses' hooves, see the snow dust, and hula a large crowd of people broke into the jungle. I don't know how many people came, it looks like there were hundreds, but the real number may be more.

Gao Feihu, Xiong Daxiong Er...... The leaders of the villages in Qingniu Mountain arrived almost at the same time. I didn't see them for a month, each of them lost a lot of weight, and when they saw Cheng Dalei, their eyes flashed with green light.

"Big boss!"

Everyone fell to their knees almost at the same time, shouting in their mouths, their voices in unison, and the snow on the branches seemed to be shaken.

"Stop shouting, stop shouting, get someone for me again. Cheng Dalei stomped his feet and jumped.

Gao Feihu walked to Cheng Dalei's side and knelt down again: "Cheng is in charge, I don't thank you for my kindness, in the future, my life will be Cheng in charge." ”

"Let's not mention that. Cheng Dalei picked Gao Feihu up, and suddenly noticed that he had bandages wrapped around his arms: "Why, you are injured." ”

"Alas, don't mention it. Yu Qiuran was about to leave with a group of people, and when I was arguing with them, my arm was scratched. ”

Cheng Dalei walked for a month, and although the talks went smoothly along the way, he also encountered several dangers. As for the situation in Qingniu Mountain, Cheng Dalei didn't know.

The food in the mountains is in the hands of Liu Bei, and he was not optimistic about this matter at the beginning, and of course he was not optimistic about anything. The remaining grain in the cottage was saved by him left and right, and it finally lasted for more than 20 days.

But later, everyone could eat less and less food every day, so people's hearts began to be chaotic.

As for Cheng Dalei to bring food back, many people are not very hopeful. Some people dragged their families and couldn't leave if they wanted to, while some thieves were lonely and felt that there was no need to die with everyone, so they quietly slipped away.

The incident happened three days ago, and Yu Qiuran gathered one or two hundred people to evacuate, and wanted to snatch the remaining grain before leaving. There was a battle between the two sides, and some people died on each other, and finally Yu Yu, knowing that he was invincible, took advantage of the chaos to burn the remaining grain, and fled with a group of people.

Gao Feihu was injured in the battle, but he was not very eye-catching. The point is that Yu Qiuran's rebellion deeply hurt the heart of this rough man. It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of the tiger, and he never thought that he would betray him if he was too humble.

The granary was burned, and the mountains were completely cut off from food, and everyone ate everything they could eat.

"Don't be too sad, it's not that you don't report that the time has not come, there will be a chance. Cheng Dalei comforted Gao Feihu.

"I'm hungry and I don't have time to be upset. Cheng Dangjia, how much food did you bring back?" asked Gao Feihu.

Cheng Dalei compared four fingers: "400,000 catties." ”

"What!" Gao Feihu looked at Cheng Dalei in astonishment: "Cheng Dangjia, won't you be fooling me?"

"I'm so idle, two boats pulled back. ”

When someone next to him heard it, he instantly shouted: "Cheng Dangjia brought back 400,000 catties of grain." ”

Xu Shenji hadn't told them the specific number, but after knowing the news, a group of people let out a strange scream, and some people's eyes were red, and they were so excited that they burst into tears.

"Don't scream, don't scream!"

Cheng Dalei hurriedly shouted, but he couldn't stop the madness of these people, and finally after a long time, the crowd quieted down.

"Don't call it yet, the first priority is how to get the food back. ”

"Cheng Dangjia rest assured, even if I carry it on my shoulder, I can also transport the grain back to the mountain without letting a grain fall to the ground. Gao Feihu patted his chest.

That being said, but this place is seventy or eighty miles away from Qingniu Mountain, so let Gao Feihu carry the grain on his back, unless he is similar.

"Hurry, we must hurry, we must transport all the grain back to the cottage before dawn, otherwise if the news leaks, none of us will be able to bear it." Cheng Dalei said to Gao Feihu.

"Understood. Gao Feihu nodded.

This time, Gao Feihu brought 500 men, about 50 or 60 horses, and immediately sent people back to the cottage, sending more people, and the carriage was changed into a sleigh on the spot, and it was piled with good rice.

They are almost hungry these days, usually these thieves don't talk about eating, but they have never seen such good rice, don't look hungry for several days, but everyone seems to have endless strength, hundreds of pounds of sacks to carry and leave. In the process of busy work, there are bursts of laughter from time to time.

But Cheng Dalei couldn't laugh at this time, the entire Qingniu Mountain was full of calculations, but there were more than a hundred horses, most of which were sold to them by Cheng Dalei. Even if each horse can pull one ton, or two thousand catties, it will take at least two trips back and forth. Not to mention how much time it will consume at that time, it is difficult to say whether the horse can stand it or not.

Now, it's not long before dawn.

Cheng Dalei was ruthless, and if the horse did not leave, he would use people to pull it, and he had to transport all the grain away at one time.

As long as Qingniu Mountain can breathe, it is called, and the wood is cut down on the spot to make a sled, and the horses are not finished and pulled by people, and the old and weak women and children, even if they are eight-year-old children, have to carry a bag of grain on their shoulders.

Cheng Dalei, Gao Feibao, Little White Wolf, Zhang Fei and dozens of other people accompanying the ship acted as security guards.

After all this was done in the sky, the sky was already cloudy, and a group of people left the seashore and headed for Qingniu Mountain.
