Chapter 865 The secret actions of the victims of Zheng County! The rush should be mutual!
Ying Chengyu subconsciously wanted to seek help from an external brain.
But let’s not say that the external brains are not around, even if Ying Chengyu asks for help, what will happen?
His external brains are all buggy!
Ying Zheng, Mrs. Han and Zhang Rang each believe that Ying Chengyu really has the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods. How can they give Ying Chengyu the correct answer despite their misunderstanding?
Ying Chengyu could only stand quietly under the night, bathing in the starlight and thinking alone.
The bonfires were extinguished one by one, and the bright moon gradually fell.
Zheng County, where no birds or beasts dared to approach, soon became completely silent.
But the silence did not last long.
Pingdan four quarters (4:00).
Zheng Ji quietly opened the curtain, stuck out his head and looked around furtively.
After confirming that there were no night watchmen nearby, Zheng Yan quickly waved behind him, and the nine old men from Dongxiaoli also cautiously got out of the tent.
Following Zheng He and others, the curtains of the tents belonging to the victims of the Dongxiaoli disaster were opened, and each victim carrying a heavy backpack crept out of the tent, following Zheng He full of heart. Walking cautiously towards the edge of the camp.
After walking out of the camp, Zheng Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt a little proud.
Our ability as a scout in the army has not faded at all!
"Who!"
Suddenly, a low voice shouted in the night, and the Dongxiaoli victims were startled.
Zheng Miao hurriedly followed the sound and vaguely saw a familiar face in the thick night.
"Sun Lizheng?" Zheng Ming asked in an uncertain voice.
Zheng Miao took two quick steps forward and finally saw clearly the appearance of the person coming.
Surprisingly, it is Zhengsun Bridge in Nanmari, Liuzhi Township!
Zheng Miao was also relieved, walked directly to Sun Qiao and whispered: "Is Sun Lizheng accepting the order of the superior officer to assist in night patrol?"
"Can you look at the past relationship? Just for the sake of convenience?”
Sun Qiao looked past Zheng Miao to the basket behind Zheng Miao, and understood what Zheng Miao was thinking.
Smiling softly, Sun Qiao leaned into Zheng Miao's ear and whispered: "Sun is specially waiting for you here."
"This is not a place to talk, nor a place to do things."
"Are all the people coming from Dongxiaoli here?"
Zheng Ming also had a vague suspicion in his heart, so he He nodded quickly: "We're all here!"
Sun Qiao nodded gently: "Call the elders in Shangdong Xiaoli to follow me!"
After saying that, Sun Qiao took the lead and sneaked into the night.
After Zheng Miao nervously observed the surrounding environment, he waved behind him and led a group of Dongxiaoli victims to follow Sun Qiao closely.
All the way out of Erlidi, I climbed over a collapsed hillside, and then after turning a few turns, a wave of heat and fire rushed directly into Zheng Miao's face!
I saw that dozens of crude caves had been dug out under the broken wall hidden in the mountain col.
Hundreds of strong men worked hard to reinforce the cave with rotten wood and broken boards, not daring to move too much to avoid being discovered.
There are hundreds of strong men carrying poles on their shoulders, carrying full well water back and forth, and there is a lot of wind under their feet.
Thousands of women squatted around fires, pouring carefully washed corn into earthen pots for cooking.
In the past, even during the wax festival, people would not bear to take another bite of dried meat, but now the women cut it into pieces without hesitation and put them into jars.
The light but nostril-catching aroma of meat caused many people to swallow their saliva subconsciously, but no one took a second look at those dried meats!
Zheng Ming whispered: "There are so many people!"
"Zheng thought that only my elders in Dongxiaoli were willing to do this."
"For this reason, Zheng also ordered all the elders not to tell anyone what happened tonight."
"But I never thought that there are so many people who are just like Zheng!"< br>
Looking at the heated scene in front of him, Sun Qiao's eyes were full of emotion: "Even if there was a major disaster in the past years, it would be impossible for the elders to share their food with others, let alone get together and not divide it. You and I make rice.”
“Even biological parents and children will use two earthen pots to make rice as soon as they live in separate households, for fear that one family will have one more grain of millet and one family will have one less drink. Soup."
"But today, all the elders took out their stored grains and even dried meat and chickens."
"Even fellow villagers who are not in the same village will pour grain into the same earthen jar, and even the elders in the king's court will pour the water they have worked so hard to carry back into the earthen jars of the elders in the tile kiln!"< br>
“This old man is over sixty years old, and this is the first time in his life that he has seen such a scene!”
Who in Zheng County doesn’t know that there were outbreaks over water grabbing in Junchaoli and Wayaoli? The battle resulted in the death of dozens of strong men and the injury of hundreds of others.
Since then, although Erli is not far from each other, there has been no feeling of being a fellow villager. There has been no intermarriage for decades, and the situation has been like fire and water.
But today, the villagers of Erli have put aside the old hatred that has been accumulated for nearly a hundred years, and work together to cook the same pot of rice!
This is incredible!
After Zheng Ming was silent for a moment, he smiled and said: "All of you, the superior officials, have never considered which village, which household we belong to. If we continue to care about it, or even feel unhappy because of it, wouldn't it mean that we are in trouble?" Shangguan is heartbroken!"
Hou Zhihou of Houfang Township strode towards Zheng Miao and said with a loud voice: "Zheng Lizheng's words are so true!"
"We are all here to express our gratitude to Shangguan. We came here spontaneously, and we have to let go of all the old grievances, otherwise it will make the superiors worry!"
After the ceremony, Hou Chao looked at Sun Qiao and said, "Thank you, Sun Li is returning to the camp. Lest any elders alert the soldiers on patrol at night.”
After Sun Qiao handed over his hand, he turned around and left.
Hou Chao looked at Zheng Ming again and said: "How many young men did Zheng Lizheng bring this time? How much food?"
Zheng Ming raised his neck slightly and said: "I have two hundred strong men in Dongxiaoli. Six people came here with a total of sixty stones of corn, twenty sticks of dried meat, and twenty baskets of wild vegetables!”
This is half of Dongxiaoli’s food supply!
Zheng Miao believes that even though there are many victims coming to see them off, there will definitely be no more generous people than them in Dongxiaoli!
As expected, Hou Chao's eyes were open and he said in surprise: "I brought so many!"
Zheng Ming said seriously: "I heard that the children will go to Tong County, Xiagua County and other places today to continue the rescue. "We can't let the children go across the mountains hungry!"
"I was thinking about bringing some food for the children on the way. Ashamed.”
“Fortunately, everyone is there too”
"With your help, the children will be able to not only have enough to eat, but also bring some rations to set off!"
Hou Chao also said with a smile: "I originally had the same worries as Zheng Lizheng."
“But now it seems that this grain is not too little, but a little too much.”
“Now Houfang Township, Liuzhi Township, Chishui Township, Wayaoli, Jun Chaoli and other elders from Sanxiang and Qili have all brought food. If they all make it, it will be too much."
"Zheng Lizheng only needs to bring out half of the food, and the remaining food will be kept in Dongxiaoli. Chew it yourself! ”
Zheng Ming's eyes widened: "Youzhi is doubting my intention to cook rice in a pot!"
Hou Chao helplessly pointed at the cave and said: "There really aren't that many places for cooking. "
"According to my expectation, the rest of the elders in the countryside may not be able to sleep soundly, but they are just a little late."
"We can't let the baby go. Are you going to carry baskets of rice?”
“Isn’t the rice smelly?”
After Hou Chao persuaded him for a while, Zheng Miao finally nodded: "Then I'll listen to you."
"Old men! Make rice!"
A group of victims in Dongxiaoli hurriedly stacked their baskets Together, they shouted excitedly: "Wei!"
The rice-making team in the cave became a little stronger.
Correspondingly, the smoke floating above the cave became a little thicker.
The corner of Ying Chengyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he put his hand on his forehead and said: "We are all veterans of Guanzhong, how can we be so careless!"
It is true that the cave Hou Chao was looking for had walls on three sides to block the fire. It is already quite a suitable place for cooking.
But the moonlight is bright and beautiful tonight!
Under the bright moon, the thick smoke caused by thousands of people cooking at the same time is impossible to ignore!
Wang Bo, who was in charge of night patrol today, had already found out the information that Ying Chengyu had reported to the victims about secretly leaving the camp, making it difficult for Ying Chengyu to pretend not to know.
But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to pretend not to know!
Ying Chengyu whispered: "Let the night patrol officers spread out five miles and hide their bodies with vegetation. Don't disturb the victims."
"Don't tell anyone about this. Others must keep it a secret!"
Wang Bo whispered in confusion: "Of course, the victims do not have much food reserves, and they still need to rely on the food reserves to survive until the autumn harvest, and this year's autumn harvest in Zheng County The harvest may not be enough for them to continue harvesting in the coming autumn."
"The official thinks it is better to advise the victims to save money!"
Ying Chengyu smiled and shook his head: "You pity the victims, why don't the victims pity you?"
"Emotion, help and rushing should all be mutual."
" Just give them a chance to express their feelings."
Wang Bo still couldn't understand what Ying Chengyu did, but he still said: "Wei!"
Unable to stop the victims, Wang Bo. He personally led a hundred guards to sneak around the cave, silently protecting them from danger, and quietly watching them busy back and forth.
At four quarters of sunrise (6:00), the camp slowly wakes up.
Feng Jie, Zhou Qingchen, Zhuang Qiu and other key rescue forces stood up silently, packed their bags, and slowly gathered towards the south side of the camp.
"Your Majesty!" Meng Yi took the lead and said solemnly with his hands raised: "We have 1,985 guards, 100 ministers, and 3,651 righteous men from Zheng County. Everyone is here!"
Zhuang Qiu then came out, raised his hands and said solemnly: "A total of 1,477 students from the second and third batches of the military academy are here."
"The military academy. The fourth-term students have gone to various disaster areas, waiting for orders from the school at any time. ”
Ying Chengyu returned the gift with his hand, and then said in a deep voice: "Luggage, food, grass, and tools have all been transported to the surrounding disaster areas."
"Officials in each disaster area have also begun to organize the victims to rescue themselves."
< br>"The situation in each disaster area is different, so I can't say more, but I believe that you can only respond to the situation!"
"Pass on my order!"
"Go to war!"< br>
More than 7,000 people raised their hands and shouted: "Wei!"
With a final look at the resettlement camp for the victims, Feng Jie, Zhuang Qiu, Zhou Qingchen and others tightened their bags and set foot on Start the journey to the next disaster area.
But they had just taken a few steps when a group of figures rushed from the west.
Feng Jie and Meng Yi were horrified and shouted in unison: "The whole army obeys the order..."
But before they could finish speaking, Zheng Miao's voice was wheezing and wheezing. Then it spread to everyone's ears: "Children! Wait!"
Feng Jie hurriedly stopped Meng Yi and said: "They are disaster victims!"
Meng Yi was shocked: "Aren't the victims all resting in the camp?"
"How can they compare? We got up early, and even went to the west side together?”
“What do they want?”
Thousands of people carried them on their shoulders without giving Meng Yi time to think about it. The victims carrying poles or baskets on their backs had already rushed to the relief team.
Zheng Miao was breathing heavily, and with his rough right hand he dug out a large spoonful of corn rice from the rice bucket and put it into a wooden bowl. He handed it to Feng Jie, who had a look of astonishment on his face, and warned in a gentle voice: "My dear, eat first!"
