As winter approached, the staff dormitory was finally built. The craftsmen stayed here for more than half a year, and it was time to leave.
Standing in front of the dormitory, Lin Yuan was still very satisfied. Compared with the modern bungalows, this house was not bad, and it had three floors, which was considered a difficult building in this era.
Except for the craftsmen, the victims who have built houses here for more than half a year show the expressions of bereavement. The victims work here. Although they have no wages, they can get enough food and clothing, and they can eat some minced meat every few days. , Such a day is too rare in this world.
"My boss, I can plant the land." When the victim saw Lin Yuan, he threw himself on his knees, tears in his eyes, "I don't want to pay."
As soon as he knelt, the victims behind also knelt down. They were all mature people, male and female, both young, but they already had old images on their faces.
Lin Yuan didn’t plan to let them go. Now only Yang Zian’s brothers are farming, but there are 20 of them squeezing oil, and only 40 of them are farming. At this point, people can cook so much, except They are old farmers, and more importantly, they are healthy.
These people are already preparing to take over from the family a year ago and settle down here.
Lin Yuan helped the person who knelt down first, and patted the other person on the shoulder: "I never told you to leave, but you can stay if you want to stay. As long as you work hard, you can fill your stomach. ."
"My boss! My boss! I'll knock your head!" I don't know who yelled, and the group of people knocked their heads on the ground. They knocked their heads down.
Lin Yuan didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, it was too shocking.
When he was still alive in modern times, let alone kowtow, no one ever bowed to him.
In the evening, the craftsmen left in a bullock cart. Their homes are in Wucheng. They made a lot of money in the first half of the year, and they were all reunited.
Strangely speaking, during the period from early autumn to the beginning of winter, there was not much conflict between the refugees and the people in Wucheng.
There was news from Jiang Gui that it turned out that there were more than a dozen large households in Wucheng who were serving cakes outside the city every day. There were probably too many refugees and the cost of cooking porridge was not enough, so they replaced it with bean dregs. So the tense atmosphere in Wucheng eased down.
Jiang Gui didn’t have an easy time during this period. The yamen became more and more busy. As a small official, Jiang Gui didn’t have many things to manage. On Lidong’s day, Jiang Gui put on a cotton jacket and was about to go out to the yamen. I heard someone shouting outside: "The refugees have rushed in! The refugees have entered the city!"
The refugees have been hungry for so long, and they didn't have much energy, but when they reach a desperate situation, they can always burst out energy beyond imagination.
Wucheng’s military strength is limited. This group of refugees have no weapons. They use whatever they get on the street to fight with others.
After the first person died in the fight, the fight could no longer be easily stopped.
It must end with the complete failure of one of them.
Before the end, some people will die one after another.
Jiang Gui hurriedly fastened the door and returned to the house in three or two steps so that no family members were allowed to leave the house. Then he opened a small slit in the window and observed the situation outside through the small slit. Jiang Gui's wife, Chen, almost covered her mouth. Call it out.
They saw a ragged, skeleton-like refugee fell on a pedestrian. He opened his mouth and bit his throat fiercely. The pedestrian was struggling, but the struggle was getting weaker and weaker, and the refugee bit The flesh and blood of pedestrians flowed down the corners of their mouths.
He doesn't look human anymore.
But his goal was not to eat human flesh. After the man was bitten to death, he panicked and began to search for his belongings.
Chen's face turned pale, and she grasped Jiang Gui's arm in panic, screaming in her ears.
There are refugees, officers and soldiers, and pedestrians.
If the officers and soldiers are killed, the refugees will break into the house.
Jiang Gui made a decisive decision: "Go, you go call your parents and eldest baby, I will drive the car, and leave now."
Chen ran into the yard in a panic.
When she entered the yard, she heard the screams from the neighbor next door, which made her almost sit on the ground.
But she still called out her parents and parents-in-law with a blank face.
Jiang's family is two-sided, with a small path behind it, and the donkey is tied there. The donkey cart is no better than an ox cart or a horse-drawn carriage, but four old people and a child are always faster than their own in a donkey cart.
Jiang Gui led the donkey in front, the Chen family walked beside him, and Wucheng behind was their home. Chen family would look back when he walked a little bit, and each eye would shed a tear. When they left, there was nothing. With all their wealth in the house, they escaped penniless. Although they saved their lives, Chen knew that there was no money, no food, and the world was so big, where could they go?
"Go to my righteous brother." Jiang Gui seemed to see his wife's worries, and he said, "My righteous brother has land in the country."
The Chens were a little nervous: "We rushed to defect, but we were afraid..."
Jiang Gui knew what his wife was afraid of, and was afraid that Lin Yuan would not want to take them in. After all, if a few more people are taken in at this time, they will have more mouths to eat, and they are righteous brothers and not real brothers. Besides, even if they are dear, There were also times when brothers smashed the wall.
"After all... I have to try it." Jiang Gui was also a little uncertain.
They dared not take the main road, they only drove off the small road, and once they heard the voice, they would hide in the woods.
No one knew how Wucheng was going, and Jiang Gui didn't dare to think about it.
"It's on fire." Chen looked at Wucheng's reverse direction, billowing smoke straight into the sky.
Jiang Gui: "Don't look, let's go."
When Wucheng was over, Jiang Gui thought silently.
Lin Yuan was shocked when he saw Jiang Gui. He knew that Wucheng would be chaotic, but he didn't expect it to be like this. Jiang Gui described the current Wucheng as a on earth, and Lin Yuan quickly calmed down:" Third brother, you can rest assured."
Their family was placed in the staff dormitory. The beds in the staff dormitory were specially made by Lin Yuan for the carpenter. They were bunk beds. A room could accommodate six people, with tables, chairs and benches, but they could not cook and boil water. Get outside.
"Brother Jiang." Lin Yuan found Jiang Gui in the evening. "A few days later, you will go to the nearby villages and towns with me. We have to collect the grain and come back."
Jiang Gui sat on the ground, he had recovered his spirit, and nodded in response.
Jiang Gui knew in his heart that even if he and Lin Yuan were righteous brothers, they couldn't take advantage of it for nothing, and had to do something to prove that he was not eating for nothing.
Now both Li Congrong and Yang Zian have to go to the land, the oil factory is still squeezing oil, but these oils will not be sold anymore, but self-produced and sold. Ten people also went to the ground with hoes.
Yang Zian and Li Congrong didn't say anything after learning about Wucheng.
This news could not be kept secret, and soon everyone knew what had happened in Wucheng.
When working, everyone was more silent and exerted greater strength, and no one was sneaking and raping.
Sometimes an extra grain may give a little more chance of survival.
