Room allocation

The cold wind howled, the wind and sand blew against my face, and in the blur of dust and mist, I suddenly saw a group of people coming against the wind.

Horses' hooves clattered, mules neighed, donkeys hooted, wheels rolled and creaked, and even an unknown big rat flew up and kicked the leader.

There were carts, donkey carts, and horse-drawn carriages, one after another, filled with all kinds of supplies, food, clothing, etc., not to mention the firewood, which was piled on top of the carts like a hill.

Seeing the number, Wei Xin who came to meet him widened his eyes, especially with his bloated figure. Ha, don't think he can't see that they are all wearing cotton clothes!!!

"Are these people...really prisoners? Aren't they ordinary people who came here for fun?" A squad leader glared. If nothing else, the cotton-padded clothes he wore were better than those of the soldiers!

Wei Xin raised his eyebrows but said nothing. He confirmed again and again that the clothes they were wearing were white and dirty prison clothes. They were indeed prisoners!

But how come they have so many supplies?

All the prisoners' property should have been confiscated, right?

It had to be said that even he was envious of the prisoners carrying supplies.

He drove his horse forward and happened to see Wang Chao viciously kicking away a big rat. Then he dismounted and said to him: "Vice General Wei, I am escorting three hundred and twenty prisoners from Lihan. Please inform General Chu."

.”

"General Chu is aware of this. Just follow me. The general will be here shortly."

"Yes." Wang Chao handed over his hand, returned to the team, mounted his horse and followed closely.

The other soldiers took a step slower and gathered on both sides of the prisoners to look at the team of prisoners. They were really curious when they saw that each of them looked rosy and full of energy.

Other prisoners were either dying when they arrived here, or died on the way to exile. Even if they survived, most of them who didn't know how to farm starved to death. I have never seen a team as rich as this one.

'of.

Not to mention horses, cattle, sheep, food and farm tools, they even saw a golden monkey. The golden monkey and a little girl of eight or nine years old were sitting on a black horse. The girl fed the golden monkey food from time to time. As for what they ate, they didn't see what it was.

When I arrived, I saw that the golden monkey was eating very sweetly.

There is also a golden python wrapped around the awning of the carriage. The python raises its head high and spits out snake bites hissingly. Its neck is still deflated, like a king cobra, and it seems that it will attack at any time.

The look made them marvel.

The envious looks of the soldiers made the prisoners feel proud, and they raised their chins one by one, feeling unbelievably proud.

"How many new prisoners will starve to death?"

"I don't know. If you are a scholar like Chen Shusheng who doesn't know how to farm, you will starve to death in three days."

"They must be dressed in rags, just like the beggars in the city."

"I can't help but see that someone is definitely sick, and it's like the plague."

"Is there an infectious disease? Like smallpox, please don't infect us."

"Don't tell me yet, it's really possible."

"Hey, some hungry ghosts are here again. We don't have much food here, and I won't even get it out. It's absolutely impossible."

"I don't know where they will live, but don't live next to me. They will definitely have no food and they will steal my food."

"There is also my family's. I will go and collect all my food later to prevent it from being stolen."

"Many of them must be dying. Who can survive such a cold weather?"

"I don't know if there are women. If there are, hehe..."

…

The people in the village were chatting happily. They were not optimistic about the coming prisoners, and even speculated maliciously.

However, when the team appeared at the entrance of the village, everyone's eyes widened with disbelief.

Chu Yiheng also saw this team of prisoners from a distance, especially when he saw the full supplies next to them, he was filled with shock.

Ten meters away, Wang Chao stopped his horse, dismounted, walked to Chu Yiheng and knelt down, "I met General Chu in the next Dynasty."

Chu Yiheng stretched out his hand to support her, "No need to be polite, you have worked hard along the way."

"General, you have over-honored me. It is your duty." Wang Chao stood up and took out the name list from his lapel and said: "General, this is the list of prisoners. There are 326 people in total. Fifty-seven died on the way and forty-eight escaped.

There are 221 people left, all of whom are registered in the book."

"Well done." Chu Yiheng nodded, opened it, looked at it, and then said: "Where are their household registration, roadmap and family tree?"

"They're all here." Chao Chao stretched out his hand, and Zhao Lie handed him a pile of bamboo slips, and he handed them to Chu Yiheng.

Chu Yiheng just checked one volume, then handed them all to the deputy general Lin Chong, and then said: "You have worked hard all the way. Let's go down with Lin Chong to rest first. As for the rest, just leave it to Wei Xin."

"Yes." Wang Chao agreed and continued: "General Chu, among this group of prisoners, the Lu family is special."

"Oh? What's so special about it?"

Chao Chao shook his head: "I don't know, it's just that General Yan gave an explanation."

Go through the back door?

Chu Yiheng frowned. He had always disliked people who relied on connections, and then he lost a good impression of this family in his heart. "Who are the Lu family members?"

"Those who have horses and carriages are from the Lu family."

Hearing this, Chu Yiheng looked up and saw a horse and seven carriages in the team. Riding on the horse was an 189-year-old girl, and behind her sat a golden monkey eating pears.

Next to the horses, a big rat that he had never seen before stood there, constantly looking around.

Hehe, I even brought my pet with me. I'm afraid it was a special case given by General Yan.

He scoffed coldly in his heart, but there was no change on his face. He waved his hand slightly: "Wei Xin, take people down to allocate houses, and have them gather on the grain field in an hour."

"Yes!" Wei Xin nodded in response, stepped forward to wave to the prisoners, and took the lead towards the village.

The officials and others also bowed their hands to Chu Yiheng, and then followed Lin Chong to rest.

Chao Chao felt that he had told Chu Yiheng the key point, so he said no more. There were some things he could say, but most he couldn't, and some he really didn't know so he didn't say anything.

As for what Chu Yiheng thought of him, that was not his concern.

On the other side, Wei Xin led everyone into the village under the envious and jealous eyes of other prisoners. Many of them stared at the supplies with greedy looks in their eyes.

There are many houses in this village, and the soldiers built many of them some time ago, but they are all the simplest ones, made of mud and thatch. Although they are simple, they are good for keeping warm and keeping out the cold.

Wei Xin led the Lu family to a thatched mud house, checked the bamboo slips and read: "Lu Dacheng."

"Here he is." Mr. Lu raised his hand with a smile.

Wei Xin nodded and glanced around at the seven carriages, a donkey carriage and a single horse. He secretly twitched the corner of his mouth. This family of exiles was so rich that he didn't even have a horse yet. Well, there are actually eight horses in this family. They are simply not worthy of being sons of human beings.

"Your family will live in these huts." Wei Xin pointed to a few haystack houses behind him, "There are eight huts, which are enough for your family to live in. Put away your things and lock the door, and gather in an hour."

The Lu family looked at the house in front of them and were not surprised. After all, the previous house was not far different from this one.

But Lu Anran couldn't help but raise his eyebrows as he looked at it.

Mud walls, mud roofs, mud floors, mud yards, everything is made of mud, which is called an original taste.

Seeing everyone in the Lu family moving things in as a matter of course, she felt a little bitter for a moment and desperately wanted to build a house, but now was not the time.

"Sad?"
