Chapter 27:

On the day that Brother Dao and Zhu Chongba left, the rain was sluggish. Fortunately, it was not too cold. They went into the woods without saying a few words to Lin Yuan. Leaves can keep out the rain, and light rain and thunder are safe.
However, Lin Yuan didn’t let anyone build a wall today. Zhuangzi has no place to keep out the rain. If he catches the wind and cold, he can only do it without medicine. Some people are in good health and just stay for a few days. Some people are not in good health, and they will be gone after they boil. Lin Yuan is not prepared to ignore the life and death of people because of the amount of work a day.
So this day is a rare day off.
After the rain stopped, many people went to the open space, lit the fire, and chatted while warming the fire.
No matter how much suffering has gone through, as long as it has passed, people still have smiles on their faces.
The men even played a role. The land that hasn't been cultivated now is relatively hard. If you fall and squat, it still hurts.
People are group animals, and they always feel more secure when they get together.
"Master." Two and two came over with a cotton coat, "You can put on another one to avoid catching a cold."
Lin Yuan did not refuse, put on a cotton coat and asked two or two, "Is there any wild land around?"
Two or two often follow the hunting team up the mountain, this is still known: "Yes."
Lin Yuan asked again: "Anyone?"
Two or two nodded again: "Yes, they are all refugees, there are males and females, and they are living in sheds."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Go and call Brother Yang and say I have something to discuss with him."
"Go to the wild to collect people?" Yang Zian rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "It's all right, I'm afraid it will be difficult to discipline."
The people in Zhuangzi now either follow Yang Zian and Brother Dao, and these people are in charge.
Either they have a family, for the sake of the family, they dare not give birth to other thoughts.
Either they were originally from servants, and these people don't care about anything else, they can do whatever they call it.
But the people in the wild are different.
Some may still be bandits, so don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Lin Yuan said: "I personally discipline."
He also managed people, but dealing with these people is a different way.
Divert their attention and hatred, push out a target, the target is the most disobedient, let the most disobedient to control people.
Some of the people below will fawn, some will be afraid, and some will resent.
When the resentment value reached its peak, Lin Yuan could stand up.
Of course, he hopes that there will be no disobedient people.
At least not now, everyone must twist into a rope now.
Once there is slack, the rope will break.
Lin Yuan also knew that it was basically impossible to keep his hands clean during the troubled times, but he hoped that day would come later.
Yang Zian looked at Lin Yuan with some doubts. In his heart, Lin Yuan was not a cruel person, let Lin Yuan discipline him?
Lin Yuan just sighed, "I don't want to worry about it either."
But I have to manage.
They eventually took twenty people to the wilderness. The so-called wilderness is an area that the court does not care about. People who fled could not enter the surrounding towns. Some people stayed beside the city gate, waiting for the big family inside to make porridge. , Or let them in one day.
Some people can’t stand the days of being driven out of the city gates, and they can’t even dig wild vegetables, so they go to the wild. Except in winter, they can always find something to eat in other seasons. If you are lucky, you can still make it. Arrived some game.
Yun Niu was in the wild. She forgot how old she was this year. It seemed like fifteen or seventeen. She didn't even remember it.
Her parents are dead. In order to survive, she always works with different men. Some men will give her some wild vegetables, and some will leave with their pants. She grabs the other person’s lap to remind the other person that they forgot to eat. Men who are not willing to give food will kick her away.
But she survived.
Almost all the fellow villagers who fled with her died.
Now there was only one left, lying in the shed, living on the food Yun Niu gave her every day.
Yun Niu fed her some bark, slobbered, and said to the lying woman, "No one hit me today."
The woman's voice is like a broken bellows: "That's good."
Yun Niu thought of something, and a little smile appeared on her face: "Today someone told me that when his shed is set up, let me live with him."
The woman said again, "That's fine."
Yun Niu chuckled.
"Yun Niu!" a man shouted outside, "I brought you grassroots!"
That's edible! Yun Niu's eyes lit up and she went out from the straw shed.
The man probably endured it for a long time, and when he saw Yun Niu come out, he grabbed her pants and pressed it down on the ground to do something.
There are people passing by, some people will squat aside and watch, thinking that when the man finishes his work, maybe he can drink some soup without having to eat, and some people are just plain looking at this scene and expressionless. gone.
As soon as the man went out, Yun Niu lifted her pants, held the grass roots, and barked her teeth at the crowd onlookers: "What do you look at? You can eat if you want to do it! Or I will bite off your stuff!"
The men were not afraid of her, but they didn't want to work hard with her and left when they found that they could not take advantage.
Yun Niu got into her little grass shed again, which was the shed that she had slept with the same person for more than ten days and had nothing to eat.
While humming a little song from her hometown, she chewed on the roots of the grass, and also stuffed the lying woman.
The woman coughed twice: "Yun Niu, you can put me in the mountains."
Yun Niu was already lying down, and she shook her head: "Let you go and you will die."
The woman laughed hard: "If you don't let it go, you will die, and your food will be wasted."
Yun Niu was upset: "Miss, Yun Niu should take care of you."
The woman was silent for a while, and finally said nothing.
Yun Niu had been protecting her. She was the young lady of the landlord's house. Yun Niu was her maid. On the way to flee, when her father and mother ran ahead with her younger brother, they were separated.
After she was assaulted by the gangster, she lost consciousness below, and the lochia continued to flow. Yun Niu hid in the mountains with her back behind her back to find a place to stay.
With a place to stay, Yun Niu started doing business.
Yun Niu was often beaten, and sometimes she didn't have a good skin on her body.
Women sometimes wonder, what are they doing while still alive, it is better to die quietly.
Yun Niu said: "My parents told me that it is better to live than to die."
The woman has been holding on.
She didn't want to make Yun Niu sad.
"Miss, Yun Niu can't eat anymore..." Yun Niu was talking in sleep.
There were tears in the corners of the woman’s eyes. Yun Niu must have dreamed of the time when the woman was still a landlord lady, there were servants and servants, and there was infinite grain and meat. She always asked Yun Niu to eat more, thinking that Yun Niu was too thin. .
The woman suppressed her crying and couldn't stop crying.
