Chapter 85 Merger
Author: Abai Yabai
Early on the next morning, the group of people, who already knew what would happen today, packed up and set off. The food was placed on the mule cart and covered with something, the dried meat was hidden in a hidden place, and various seasonings were carefully placed. Only the personal image took on a new look.
.
Everyone cleaned up overnight, showing a healthy face brought about by eating enough every day. Because they were always on the road, everyone was very strong, especially the three men, Mr. Xu and his son, who stood out in the team. There were almost no people there.
What evil thoughts will arise after seeing them?
Coyotito and others returned to the team in the middle of the night. They also washed off the dirt on their faces and put on another set of clothes. They looked completely different from the timid appearance they had last night.
After walking for about two hours, we could already see the end of the path, and also saw a large number of deserters staying on the official road at the junction, numbering four to five hundred people.
When Wen Yuzi and others came back, Wen Yu had a rough idea of how many people would stay. At this time, he saw a large number of people gathered together from a distance, and he was not surprised.
More than two hundred people were still very conspicuous. When Wen Yu and his party appeared in sight, the fugitives on the official road began to whisper to each other, ready to make a move.
But they were not sure whether the person coming across was the one whom the immortal said was "blessed by her", so they had no choice but to wait patiently.
When the two parties were only 20 meters away, Xu Laoer, who was walking at the front, signaled everyone to stop and walked to the opposite side alone.
He had discussed with Wei Jin that he would contact these people without exposing Wen Yu's status in the team.
"Are you the poor people the immortal said?"
Xu Laoer took the lead and took the initiative to point out the identity of the other party, saying that the immortal had told them about this, revealing that they had a close relationship with the immortal.
"Are you the ones blessed by the immortals?"
The person closest to Xu Laoer asked, looking at the status of the two hundred people behind Xu Laoer.
They were also escaping from famine. They looked like they were living in a good harvest year, but they had just traveled far away. Everyone had a smile on their face and a hint of pride.
As a matter of pride for receiving the guidance from the immortal.
This was an expression he had never seen on the faces of people around him, even before he fled.
Not to mention that there were several fully loaded mule carts in their team, as well as three extremely tall men.
Just by looking at his thick arms, one can imagine the power contained in them. It is probably as easy as picking up weeds to twist someone's head.
The deserter quickly judged the situation, and his intention to listen to the immortals and follow them south became more determined.
"Yes, we are. Thanks to the immortal's guidance last night, he also helped us get rid of a group of villains."
As the man spoke, he began to wipe away tears, intending to bring the relationship closer between the two parties.
There were not a few people who had the same idea as this person, including some who were neutral and just wanted to see who could get the blessing of the immortal. They also began to waver and went down the steps passed by Xu Laoer.
Wen Yu and Wei Jin watched from a distance, and Xu Laoer gained their trust in a few words. Soon, a group of people gathered around Xu Laoer and began to complain, and their emotions gradually changed from pretending to be pitiful to genuine feelings.
In the end, Xu Lao'er got their unanimous approval, and they were all willing to follow Xu Lao'er and his party south. When Xu Lao'er said that he would give everyone a full meal at noon, the support reached its highest level. Xu Lao'er's words were almost
It's about following your advice.
Anyway, they came to Chang'an City to give porridge at the city gate and to live a stable life after entering the city. Since this group of people can provide it to them, why not agree?
In the past few days, Wei Jin had made the villagers familiar with him through Xu Laoer's initiative. With Wen Yu's endorsement, Wei Jin was willing to obey some of Wei Jin's orders.
While Xu Laoer was exchanging feelings with another group of people, Wei Jin directed everyone to dig stoves and set up pots. Xu Laoer spent his own money to buy part of the village's grain to cook for this group of people fleeing the famine.
The portion is probably enough to feed these people for a day.
From now on, they had to find ways to obtain food on their own. Xu Laoer and Wei Jin also made detailed regulations, including how much food they could get for what kind of work they did.
If it is a public job in the village, it will be recorded in the village account. If a certain family hires someone to do it alone, then that family will pay for it.
In order to facilitate calculations, Xu Laoer also proposed work points, which were inspired by the test scores given by Wen Yu to students.
Everyone can also score points for their work. Scores are recorded every day and can be used to exchange for food.
Because there are so many people fleeing the famine, twice as many as the people in the village, Yongzhou will definitely not be able to survive with the current food supply, and there will not be that much work for them to do.
Wen Yu decided to go to the city tomorrow, buy a batch of grain and see if he could find any business opportunities that would allow them to rest outside the city for a while and find some work.
When Qinghe Niang took almost all the women in the village to prepare the meal, Xu Laoer also explained the rules and asked them to line up in two lines to receive the meal.
Lunch was porridge with salt and wild vegetables in it. Because they had been hungry for a long time, porridge was the best and they could not eat too much at one time.
Before getting the porridge, you must register first. The boys and girls received the task. They worked in groups of three and set up a table in front of the two soup kitchens. They held charcoal pens in their hands and recorded everyone's information meticulously.
"Name." Erya lowered his voice to sound more steady.
"Goudan."
She wrote on the paper, and now they can basically recognize and write the commonly used words. After writing, she looked up.
Although she knew that they would be more miserable than her group, her heart still skipped a beat when she saw the man in front of her who was about the same age as her father, wearing tattered clothes, showing untreated wounds, and his eyes were dim and full of numbness.
.
If I and others had not met Sister Wen, they would probably look like this.
No, maybe they would have been even worse and would have died at the hands of the bandits in the canyon.
Shaking his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, Erya continued to ask: "Where are you from?"
"Daoxiang Village, Qixian County."
"how old are you?"
"Forty years old."
"what for?"
"Farming."
"What kind of craft do you know?"
"I can weave straw mats, straw sandals, and make some gadgets."
"Okay, go to the back and get the porridge. One bowl per person. You can't get more. There will be more in the afternoon."
After Erya finished speaking, the man in front of him couldn't wait to run back, regardless of the wounds on his body.
Wen Yu and Wei Jin watched the scene in front of them. Xu Laoer was walking among the fleeing people, chatting with them with a gentle expression, trying to understand the situation of this fleeing team.
"You and Jing Liang can both stay here. I'll go into the city alone," Wen Yu said.
"Well, I'll calculate what I need to buy later." Wei Jin nodded and replied.
"I will leave a few talismans containing my sword intention, just in case. If someone disobeys, you and Jingliang will take care of it. The strength of children like Erya and Xiaozizi should not be underestimated." Wen
Yu warned.
"Okay," Wei Jin followed Wen Yu's gaze and said, "It will take some time for them to truly integrate."
"However, since Brother Jing Liang and I have boasted about Haikou, we must make it perfect," Wei Jin said with a gentle tone and confident eyes, "We will definitely make everyone sincerely submit before the team sets off again."
Wen Yu laughed.
"Then I'll wait and see."
