At the port branch downstream of the Xiangjun River, Lu Han was sitting on the river beach, basking in the sun with several women, repairing his armor and clothes.
Guo Ning's parents died young. When he was in Wushabao, he often lived and ate with his Alixi Lusu. All the salary and rewards he received were also placed in the Lu family. Originally, they were left to the Lu family, and later to the Lu family.
Manage the letter together.
After the defeat at Yehuling, Guo Ning lost all the few taels of money he had accumulated, but Lu Han still took care of everything for him. Later, the number of soldiers and civilians who followed Guo Ning was sometimes more, sometimes less, and everyone was used to obeying Lu Han every day.
s arrangement.
In the past year, everyone's life has been very difficult. Guo Ning's own military uniforms have been mended, and the clothes of others are even more shabby. Now that Yao Shi'er and others are dead, Lu Han frees up some armor robes and distributes them to
Used by everyone.
Lu Su left behind a narrow robe and gave it to his younger brother Lu Shu; there was also a brown sweater made of thick material, which was taken from the body of a rich man during the escape and was now given to Gao Kezhong's uncle. The old man
My husband became seriously ill last year, and I don’t know how long he can survive. If he dies, the sweater can be given to other people.
In today's world, every bit of material must be utilized to its full potential. Everyone has experienced a narrow escape from death, and there is nothing to be pretentious about.
Yao Shier's wife Feng was staying with everyone at the moment. She was holding a silk robe that Yao Shier liked in the past in both hands. She didn't move for a long time, and her expression was always in a trance. It was probably because she was reluctant to part with it, or because she was seeing something.
Think about people.
The women couldn't help her, so they all silently helped Lu Han dismantle a piece of leather armor.
The leather armor was what Guo Ning had worn before. It was very worn out, but the fine hemp rope and leather ribbon that bound the armor were all screwed together, making it very troublesome to remove.
The women spent a lot of effort to remove some of the soaked nails, use a knife to cut out the small pieces that could be used, filled the holes penetrated by the arrows, and then replaced the large pieces of armor with the prepared scattered pieces of skin.
, and finally use an iron needle to thread the twine and tie the old and new nails tightly.
This last step is very labor-intensive and energy-consuming. If you are not careful, the precious iron needle will be broken. It requires several women to cooperate and do it slowly and carefully.
The women were all paying attention, and the children on the other side of the river beach were also busy with their own affairs.
Lu Shu took a few children with him, stepped on the thin ice by the river, and went deep into Bianwudian. It seemed that they took turns reaching out to dig out fish from the rock crevices and mud. They didn't see any fish for a long time, but they were dirty.
Dirty, like a black monkey.
Lu Han took a moment to take a look and frowned, feeling a little pity for the new narrow clothes he had put on.
She was about to yell, but she sighed again.
It has been four days since Guo Liulang left here. If something had happened to him, all the old, weak, women and children in front of him would have suffered the same fate! In this case, why bother with a piece of clothing?
When will Guo Liulang come back?
That Xiao Hao killed Yao Shier and others, and almost killed Liu Lang, which shows that he is a ruthless character. How dangerous it would be for Liu Lang to seek revenge alone! Oh, why didn't I stop him at that time?
The other women could see that Lu Han was frowning. They were older than Lu Han and had seen more life, separation and death, and they had long been numb. A stout middle-aged woman advised: "Miss Lu family
Don't panic, no matter whether Rokuro comes back or not... in this troubled world, people are mean, if we want to survive, there is always a way."
Are these words of encouragement?
Lu Han rolled his eyes at her fiercely and continued to work hard on the thick cowhide armor.
The woman regretted her words as soon as she said those words. Seeing that Lu Han's face suddenly became much heavier, she secretly cursed herself for having a broken mouth.
No one said anything at the moment.
Lu Han remembered that Guo Ning had said privately that he himself intended to join the newly established Anzhou Capital Military Division by Tu Dan to continue fighting against the Mongolian army, but the women and children around him did not need to count on the imperial court. If anything happened, they would still
Go and attach yourself to the militia leaders in various places, and you can protect yourself.
For example, there is a wealthy man named Miao Daorun in Dingzhou, who is said to be generous and has a high reputation. In addition, Jing'an Min, who is active in the Zhuozhou area and is also the leader of the defeated army, seems to be reliable.
Lu Han never understood what Guo Ning could get in return for serving the court so stubbornly. He knew clearly that the court was unreliable!
In his early years at Wushapu, when the military was booming, Guo Ning complained many times at home. Maybe he thought the little girl didn't understand this, but Lu Han was a soldier and had a lot of knowledge. In fact, he understood everything.
He said that the soldiers on the border were starving, and even the Jurchens had to gather wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, but the court rarely provided any relief. He said that if an old horse in the army died, the whole village would have to buy it. War horses are so expensive that they often have to be revered.
His wife sold her cattle to make up for their value; he said that the officers gave the army arrows, swords, guns, armor, etc., but the 10% they allocated every year was less than 10% of what was needed, and this 10% was still too dull to be used. He said, "Shou
The generals on the border are only good at exploiting soldiers and civilians, and are good at military service. From top to bottom, there is no one who can fight...
Therefore, Guo Ning had been contacting all parties in an attempt to gather manpower to enrich the Anzhou Military Division, but Lu Han did not agree with it in his heart.
Doesn’t he know everything? Since he knows, why rush to work for the court?
The lives of the men and women in Wusha Castle and hundreds of people have all been given to the Dajin court. Isn’t that enough?
The Xijun River here is a bit remote. But after a year of busy work, we have piled up river mud, opened up a few thin fields, and built a stockade and shacks. Even if we are not good at farming, we can live here for a while.
Isn’t it a good day?
No matter how vicious the world is, everyone just wants to survive. There is always a way, right?
As a result, Liu Lang's heart was moved when the apprentice Shan Shan gave an order. Then, Asu, Brother Shi'er and Mr. Gao all died.
Liu Lang is a smart man. He naturally knows that the responsibility for the death of his companions lies with Xiao Haohu, but Liu Lang's own blind actions and negligence are also inseparable. That's why he rushes to seek revenge at all costs. His anger is not only directed towards
Xiao Haohu also turned towards himself.
He should have been stopped then!
There is no eye for swords in the fighting field. Who knows what the outcome will be? No matter how outstanding his skills are, how can he still be able to defeat a hundred with one? If he is so angry, he might miss some point and be injured immediately... So what?
What to do? Asu is already dead. If something happens to Rokuro... I, I...
Lu Han thinks about this over and over every day.
The death of her brother Lu Su had already made the girl a little dizzy. As the days passed by Guo Ning's departure, she became more and more anxious and unable to control her emotions.
Suddenly several women were heard exclaiming in unison, and Lu Han looked at them blankly.
Following their gaze, she noticed that she made a mistake with her hand and pierced the iron needle into the belly of her finger. The iron needle swayed, and blood burst out from the wound. Strangely, it didn't hurt much.
.
The woman who just said something wrong hurriedly came up, pulled off a piece of coarse cloth from the corner of her skirt, and wanted to bandage it for Lu Han. Lu Han stretched out his hand in a daze and let her do it.
While I was dealing with the wound on my finger, I heard someone screaming and shouting in the reed marsh deep in Wudian.
That was the voice of Lu Shu and several other children! Why did they run so far away? What did they bump into?
Lu Han's whole body tensed up. She stood up suddenly and looked over there.
But among the withered yellow reeds floating in the wind, several children were also jumping hard and looking deeper into the swamp. What did they see? It seemed that their voices were not nervous. After a while, there were children clattering through the mud.
, ran out of the reeds, shouting along the way: "Brother Liulang is back! Brother Liulang even brought friends as guests!"
Women are all fond of color.
Lu Han relaxed suddenly. Her legs softened and she sat back down.
