It was night. Chen Chengli came home with two kilograms of grain.
My mother and my daughter-in-law milled the grain overnight, made several bowls of pimple soup with flour, and steamed several steamed buns with bran.
The two boys at home surrounded the steamer, stared at the steaming steamer, and licked their lips with their tongues.
Since being recruited by the Qi army, the family has not had enough food for a few days.
When the bran dumplings were steamed, Chen Chengzhen took one and chewed it carefully, listening to the gossip between his daughter-in-law and my mother.
"There was an accident in the chensan family in the west of the village. Chensan died on the river, and the government didn't give an explanation. Chensan's mother led the family to sue. She didn't want to be an official guard. The old woman was directly killed at the gate of the Yamen."
Chen Chengzhen was stunned. All the bran balls were thrown on the ground.
When Chen San died, he was right in front of him. At that time, Chen San, who had not yet breathed, entrusted himself with being alone. It should be regarded as being alone. It is said in the drama articles that he entrusted the whole family to be alone.
But I can't even take care of my own family. Where can I get food to take care of Chen San's family.
Chen San's mother died. How can the remaining Chen San's daughter-in-law and three boys and two girls live.
"Mother"
Chen honestly said, "the three Chens are bitter enough. Our food?"
The old woman raised her eyebrows. "Why, you still want to be a good man. You can't take care of yourself. You still want to take care of the Chen family. You're really out of your mind.
My daughter-in-law is still soft hearted: "Mom, give some to the Chen family. Today, I passed by the door of the Chen family. His mother's body was still parked in the yard. Several children were hungry, yellow and skinny, like a dry firewood stick."
My mother yelled, "OK, OK, you are good people and I am evil. Go and give it to me. If you can't get back food tomorrow, your mother and your daughter-in-law and son will starve to death."
Even so, after dinner and waiting for the night to fall, my mother wrapped two handfuls of flour in cloth and went to the Chen San family.
Chen Chengcheng also followed him. He thought that since Chen San entrusted himself with loneliness, he would always do his best.
In the dark night, Chen San's family was dark. Because there were no men, they had no firewood to fight, and the brazier couldn't burn. The family was cold.
My mother's voice sounded in the yard.
"Chen's third daughter-in-law, why can't even afford the brazier? What can I do if the child is frozen?"
Footsteps rang out in the room, and Chen's third daughter-in-law staggered out with a weak voice.
"Aunt, the family is running out of firewood. Now there are Qi soldiers everywhere. The slaves dare not go out to fetch firewood. If these firewood are used, they can't even burn water."
My mother sighed and scolded, "damn the government."
With that, my mother went to Chen's third daughter-in-law and put the cloth bag in Chen's third daughter-in-law's hand: "take it and make some noodle soup, at least you can continue your life."
Chen's third daughter-in-law felt the things in her hand and knelt down.
"Aunt, your great kindness."
"Quenching"
My mother scolded: "you little skin, what great kindness, there are only one and two sides, all right."
This also said, my mother didn't stop. When I got out of the yard, I saw Chen Chengcheng and snorted in my nostrils.
"Why, even your mother can't rest assured."
Chen Chengcheng rubbed his hair and said with a smile, "no, Chen San asked me to be alone. I can't watch his daughter-in-law and son starve to death."
"I'll get some firewood"
My mother pulled Chen Chengcheng: "silly you, you can't eat well after supporting the boat all day. You still want to get firewood. What if you're tired to death."
"Don't worry. I'll fetch firewood tomorrow. As an old woman, Qi people certainly don't like it. I'll go."
Chen Chengcheng smiled at Yan Shan: "that's OK, mom, you should be careful."
The next day, before dawn, Chen Chengcheng went out of work.
There's no way. Qi people issued a death order. Before dawn, they had to behead. Chen Chengcheng was the one who left a note in Lizheng. He couldn't escape.
When the boat arrived at the north bank and delivered the weapons, Chen Chengcheng took the boat to the south. The two dogs next to him asked.
"Honest brother, let's have a big one today?"
Chen Chengcheng was stunned when he heard the speech, but in the twinkling of an eye, he thought of his children's yellow complexion and thin flesh. His daughter-in-law and mother couldn't even eat bran dumplings. Suddenly, the whole person was sad.
An old man can't even support his family. He's afraid of wool.
"Done"
Chen Chengli breathed into the palm of his hand and rubbed his hands.
Everyone has the experience of the last time, and this time it is tacit.
He loaded a boat on the south bank and went to the middle of the Qingjiang River. Where the north and the South could not be seen clearly, Chen Chengcheng supported the boat and covered several boats with Qi army nearby.
After some operation, the ship dispersed under the scolding of the Qi army.
The two dogs made a reassuring gesture to Chen Chengcheng. Chen Chengcheng saw it in his eyes and breathed a sigh. This time, it became again.
In this way, in the days of transporting Qi army's ordnance, Chen Chengzhen relied on his private possession of grain and grass, and there were no dead people in the family of a group of fishermen who voluntarily transported ordnance.
In the nearby village, people starved to death all the time, or were beheaded by the Qi army who collected and distributed grain and grass.
The life of Qi people is becoming more and more difficult.
……
In the Chinese army tent, Su Lu ate cooked sweet potatoes and looked at the defense map.
There is no shortage of food in the army. Sweet potatoes are open to supply. As long as the sergeants want to eat, they can go to the kitchen army and get them by themselves.
Footsteps sounded outside the tent. The lieutenant of the Central Military Academy checked the official credentials of the visitors and let them in.
"Lord, I will come to apologize."
The sound of flopping and kneeling made Su Lu look up in amazement and put away his eyes to study the defense map.
Looking at Li Lu on his knees, Su Lu was stunned.
"Aren't you guarding in Wuyuan town? Why did you come here? What crime should the senior general leave the station privately?"
Lilu knelt on the ground without lifting his head.
"Lord, the last general, the last general lost five yuan."
Su Lu stood up, looked at Li Lu in shock and opened the defense map.
"Your army is here. I either tell you to scatter all the Scouts or prevent being attacked by barbarians."
Li Lu's voice was full of decadence and helplessness.
"Lord, not barbarians?"
Not barbarians?
Su Lu looked at Li Lu in amazement. It was not the barbarians, but the Qin army. In order to survive, the Qin army captured Wuyuan to reject the barbarians.
"How many Qin troops are there? Who led them?"
Su Lu asked.
"Not the Qin army."
Li Lu said depressed, his face ugly. I'm so stupid and useless. I can't even keep the five original.
Su Lu looked at Li Lu: "it's not the Qin army, it's not the barbarians, can it be the Tang army?"
Li Lu nodded: "what the LORD said is right. It's Tang Jun."
Su Lu looked at Li Lu in amazement. Was it really Tang Jun?
Since the last time Xie Ruyu was convinced, Tang has not had another edge quarrel. Now why did he suddenly start an edge quarrel.
"Dushuai, Qi people are attacking."
Ma Ping stepped into the account of the Chinese army and reported it.
Su Lu took a look at Li Lu: "you take people down first and have a rest. The rest will be discussed later."
"How many troops and birds did the Qi people send out this time? Did they use crossbows?"
Su Lu asked Ma Ping and told the land war.
