By the time everything was ready, the sky was getting darker, the wind was getting stronger, and snowflakes were flying in the air. Ding Yuluo stood upwind and said loudly to the Minzhuang servants who had gathered: "Now, a heavy snowfall,
We are blocked here. We still have two and a half days to go from Guangyuan, so I am not willing to give up like this! The car can't move no matter what, but with these... these..."
Ding Hao reminded in a low voice: "Sled...well, you should say snow sledge..."
"Well, but with these snow sledges, the snow will not hinder our journey. These snow sledges will not sink into the snow when carrying food. With them, as long as we work together, we will be able to deliver the food in time.
Go to Guangyuan."
"What?"
The people who had never seen this kind of transportation were talking about it, and they all said: "Can this thing work?"
"Miss, this big car has been dismantled into pieces. What is this... sledge? It doesn't look strong enough. Can it still fall apart after walking around?"
Ding Yuluo said: "In a hurry, we can only think of this method. Yes, there are no nails under the sledge, it is fixed with ropes, and the grain above is not tied with ropes. It does take a bit of effort to transport it, but
As long as everyone looks after us all the way and unloads the truck in time if it breaks down and re-bundles it, the journey will only take more than two days, so it won’t be a big deal. With the mules and horses pulling us, and if we can help out, we will definitely get through this hurdle."
"Miss, the snow is so heavy, it's knee-deep. Walking with bare hands can be tiring to death, and you have to hold grain and pull ropes all the way? Is that really a job for a human being?"
"Miss Ding, you have to earn this money with your life and you have to spend it with your life. We have done our best to the Ding family. We really can't do this job anymore."
"We can't do it, we can't do it, let's go, let's go, the Ding family is finished this time, let's go back." Some people have already begun to encourage everyone to disperse.
"You...you...," Ding Yuluo's lips turned white and he hissed: "You can't leave. The Ding family treats you very well. As long as they can deliver food..."
"Aren't we just trying to earn some hard-earned money when we come out during the Chinese New Year? But this kind of work... it doesn't involve any relatives or friends. We can't put our lives on the line for your family, let's go...
"
The commotion became louder and louder, and Ding Yuluo's voice became quieter and louder. Seeing many people abandoning the grain carts and turning around and walking away, Ding Yuluo's knees weakened and she almost fell to her knees on the snow.
With quick eyes and quick hands, Ding Hao rushed over to support her, then took a deep breath and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Stop the fuck!"
This roar carried far away with the wind, and it shocked everyone all at once. Everyone looked at Ding Hao with surprise and doubt, at this Ding Hao who was originally cowardly, then clever, and now fierce.
, unable to adapt to his sudden change for the moment.
"Do you know what this grain is used for? The Tatars are 'grabbing valleys' on the border of the Song Dynasty. The Guangyuan defenders are our backers. If the Guangyuan army eats the war, they will not be able to defend Guangyuan City.
, the Tatar war horses can march straight in, burn your home, snatch your women, and take your life!"
Everyone stared blankly at Ding Hao, who was standing upwind, with a pale face. The wind and snow were blowing harder and harder, and even his description was a little unclear, but the sound that came with the wind could be heard clearly.
Chu.
With the wind and snow blowing in his face, Ding Hao shouted loudly: "At this point, you slap your butt and want to leave? It's so easy to fart! Do you know why the Ding family triples your wages? Because this food,
It was ordered by the officers and soldiers, and this food must be delivered! You, you, and you..."
Ding Haoji pointed, and the peasants he pointed out timidly took a few steps back. Ding Hao asked: "Do you all understand the laws of our Song Dynasty? Why don't you work for your employer and receive wages without doing errands?"
What to do? Just pay the wages! But now you are on the mission of the border army. If you just slap your butt and leave, the border army will be defeated and countless people will be in trouble. Do you know what the end will be? Conquer your house!
behead!"
Ding Hao's voice was so stern that the villagers were stunned for a moment. They were illiterate and how could they understand the laws of the Song Dynasty? They only knew that Ding Hao, Linqing County Captain and Qiankou Prison were all brothers.
My good friend, if he said that the national law is like this, then presumably... it should be like this.
"What should I do if a soldier runs away from the battle? Behead him. Why do you do this? Because he is afraid that everyone will suffer the same defeat. What should you do if you run away from the battle while transporting military rations? If you don't have the army rations, you will definitely suffer defeat. Think about it for yourselves.
What a sin, Om?
Even if you don't have a brain, you should be able to think about it with your buttocks. Throw the food here and you go? Okay, you go, you can go, the monk can't walk out of the temple, you can hide from the first day of the lunar month, but you can't hide from the fifteenth...
At that time, if you are imprisoned and executed, your life is over. There will be other men who will farm your land, live in your house, sleep with your woman, and beat your baby!"
The people were so shocked that they held their butts between their arms and didn't dare to let out a single fart. The man had two guns, one for himself and one for his son. The man had two pieces of land, one outside the house and one inside. Now you have two guns.
Both pieces of land must be confiscated, and even the head must be chopped off? This... this... If I had known that I would be killed, I wouldn't have accepted this job...
Amidst the howls of the wind and snow, only Ding Hao's hoarse roar could be heard: "Now go all out to deliver the grain to Guangyuan. Your reward will be indispensable when I go back. You can still pat your chest and brag to your son in the future."
: If it hadn’t been for you and me, Guangyuan’s army of hundreds of thousands would have suffered a huge loss!”
This is a wilderness, and there is no sound echo. Ding Hao's hoarse voice roared out. As soon as it reached people's ears, it completely dissipated in the air. Because of this, it added a fierce and decisive feeling. A team of thousands of people
Finally, there was a commotion. After listening to Ding Hao's words, they began to realize that this desperate situation was no longer the desperate situation of the Ding family. They were all grasshoppers on a rope.
"Ding... Steward Ding..." A Minzhuang said timidly: "It doesn't matter if we endure hardships and work hard. What we sell in this life is our strength. We can go on no matter how hard it is and how tired we are. In the cold winter, we will still be sleeping on the kang. There is no need at all.
You have done this job before. The snow is so heavy that when you lift your legs, you are knee-deep. Those four-legged animals can still hold on for a while, but we are two-legged people."
"Human? You can only be human if you can survive!"
Ding Hao stood on a big rock and shouted loudly: "Retreating is death, advancing is life. Before the food is transported to Guangyuan, no one should take himself as an individual. From now on, we are mules, we are horses, we
It’s just a big animal with two legs!”
After Ding Hao finished speaking, he jumped off the stone, ran to a snow sledge, put a rope on his shoulder, gave the big mule that had the rope tied hard, and shouted: "Let's go!"
Ding Yuluo's eyes were red, and without saying a word, he ran quickly, pulled up another fiber rope, stood side by side with him, pulled the fiber rope around, and stretched it on his shoulders.
Ding Hao helped the mules pull the sled and shouted loudly: "Don't be lazy and walk hard. This thing is heavy when you pull it up. As long as the speed increases, it will become more and more effortless..."
Liu Shiyi stood up with a red face and thick neck, as if he had drunk a jar of wine, raised his arms and shouted: "He is a man, come with me. The food has arrived, let's live our lives in high spirits. If we can't get it, just
Go fuck yourself like a lost dog!"
"Come on, let's fight!" Under the stimulation of life and death, the inertia of all the people's servants disappeared, and they were finally inspired with all their blood. They swarmed up with red eyes, picked up the ropes one after another, and greeted the people in the vast wilderness.
Against the fierce north wind, we marched towards Guangyuan step by step.
Everything is for survival.
"Dumb..."
Ding Yuluo and Ding Hao stood side by side, leaning forward, pulling a simple snow sledge filled with grain, shouting at the top of their lungs.
"Huh?" Ding Hao pursed his lips, his cheeks tightened, and he looked forward, kicking his feet back vigorously, making his slender muscles tight.
Ding Yuluo whispered: "Ah-Dai, actually... what you said is wrong. If the food cannot be transported, it will only punish my Ding family, but not these civilians and cart drivers."
Ding Hao's eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his voice and said: "I know, but they don't know..."
