Zou Pusheng looked at Lin Yuan, of course he knew Lin Yuan and what Lin Yuan had done along the way.
Zou Pusheng has never underestimated anyone who has a foothold in troubled times, and he also knows when to hold it up and when to bow his head.
He said to Lin Yuan, "Nan Wang is looking for me, of course there is something important."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "When I first arrived at Hanyang Treasure Land, I naturally need an old man to lead the way."
Zou Pusheng: "Zou is naturally at the mercy of the king of Nan."
He was quite mischievous and said: "Compared to a sharp blade, it is naturally more popular with prosperity and wealth."
Lin Yuan almost got goosebumps when he saw such a bunch of middle-aged men acting cute.
The people of Hanyang are now hiding in their houses.
They didn't even dare to light the lights at night. The family huddled in the small room, hoping that in the morning tomorrow, life would return to the way it was before. No matter how good or bad it was, at least it was stable. They were familiar with that kind of life and didn't want to make any changes.
People with a rebellious spirit have long been killed, and those who live to this day are basically as docile as cattle and sheep.
Lin Yuan remembered that he once watched TV, and someone said:
"China's working people are the most hard-working people in the world."
"When the wealthy life is not guaranteed, people only hope to be able to eat and clothe themselves. When food and clothing are not guaranteed, people only hope to live in peace. When the bottom line of living is pierced, People will take up arms and rebel."
Instead of being driven to a dead end, people only hope to survive by relying on their hands.
"There's almost no food at home." The woman scooped out the last grain of food from the jar and turned to look at her husband and in-laws. The wrinkles on her face were like dry land, and there was no expression in her eyes. Her child was sitting At her feet, sobbing softly, trying to eat.
When people are hungry to the limit, they will cry when they are hungry. The feeling is indescribable.
Just give them a bite to eat and ask them to do whatever they want.
And this extremely hungry memory will accompany them for a lifetime.
"Cook a bowl for your man." The mother-in-law was lying on the kang, she was motionless and closed her eyes.
The father-in-law didn't speak. When the mountains and rivers were exhausted, all resources must be given priority to the labor force at home.
Only the strongest survives, and the others have a chance to survive.
The woman looked at the bowl of coarse grains with saliva secreting from her mouth.
She wants to eat a little, even just a little, as long as there is something in her mouth, she will not be so uncomfortable.
The man suddenly stood up: "I'm going out to find something to eat."
The whole family looked at him.
The man said firmly: "Mother, it's all for me to eat, and there is no food at home, so I have to starve to death."
"You can't go out!" Grandma's eyes widened, "It's so messy outside, if you were gone, we wouldn't be able to live!"
The man has already walked to the door: "Mother, I will be more careful."
He didn't dare to look back, afraid that he would stay, but he also knew that after staying, he would face death of thirst and starvation.
There was no one on the street, except for some soldiers who were not Hanyang officers and soldiers at first glance. He avoided these soldiers, lest they be seen. He knew that these soldiers did not take human life as their life when they fought. If you kill someone, you don't have to face any punishment, and those who died, even if they really died, no one will avenge them.
The man hurriedly shuttled through the alley. He didn't know where to find food, but he had no other way.
In a panic, he slammed his head into the back of a man.
The man froze, regretting why he didn't take out a knife.
He could only stand there dumbfounded, looking at the man in military uniform who was hit by him and turned around.
He was dying, and the man took a deep breath, wanting to do the last desperate fight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the soldier saw him, he bared his teeth. He smiled and said, "It's rare to see people coming out. You came out to buy food, right?"
The man opened his mouth several times, but couldn't utter a word. He was shaking all over, sweat dripping from his forehead, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Come on, it's still the old market, but it's being rectified these days. If you want to buy food, you have to walk a few steps forward." The soldier said, "Do you want me to take you there?"
The man stammered: "No, no need...myself..."
The soldier smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that I'm not on duty at the moment, so I'll take you there."
As he spoke, he patted the man on the back. The man did not dare to resist, so he could only follow the soldier, looking for opportunities to escape along the way. Who knows what the soldier wanted to do, maybe he wanted to deceive him even more. place to kill him again.
As a result, the man just looked for an opportunity all the way. After all, he was hungry for a long time and had no strength. He didn't dare to resist, so he could only find an opportunity to escape.
As a result, when he got to the place, he still couldn't escape.
"It's here, you can buy whatever you want." The soldier said, "By the way, my name is Zhou Dashan. I'm from the third company, second row, fourth battalion, fourth battalion, and eighth squadron. If you think I'm a good person, you can go when the time comes. The military camp gave me a pennant, and we call it mutual convenience."
Shangfeng said that as long as they did things for the people, and the people thanked them and sent pennants to the barracks, they would get bonuses.
If you collect more pennants, you can get a suite.
Soldiers are now eager to perform, and it depends on who gets the room first.
The houses rewarded by the above are all good houses, the location is good, and they are big. There are vendors and markets in front and back. They are houses that can’t be bought with money. If there is such a house, it is possible to marry a daughter-in-law in the future Also bigger.
The man can only keep nodding, indicating that he knows.
Zhou Dashan was satisfied: "Then you go buy it yourself, I'm leaving, if you have any difficulties, you will find a soldier, they will not ignore you."
The man looked at the market in front of him at this time, and couldn't say a word.
And Zhou Dashan has already left.
Is this still the messy market he remembers? In the past, people sold it on the ground. There were rotten vegetable leaves and egg shells that were really inedible on the ground, as well as many puddles and mud. Now there are half-person-high platforms built on the roads, and the ground is level and clean. There is grain on the table, and behind the table are people who sell grain.
The man looked at the food on the table and swallowed hard.
He was hungry for so long that he could do anything with raw food.
"This eldest brother, are you buying food? My family's food is all new food." The young man guarding the food stall waved to the man.
The man couldn't hold back, walked over and asked, "Which is the cheapest?"
The young man smiled and said: "Soybeans, this is the cheapest, but it's a good thing. It's delicious when fried with a little salt. When it's ground, you can drink soy milk and bean dregs cakes."
The man took out the money from his arms: "I want this."
Young man: "You didn't bring a cloth bag?"
The man was stunned, how should I take it back
The young man said again, "I have a cloth bag here, so I'll use my cloth bag to fill you half of the grain first. You go back and bring your cloth bag, return mine to me, and I'll pack the rest for you."
The man whispered: "If you don't give it to me..."
The young man smiled and said: "Your soybeans are about the same money as mine, not to mention that there is a supervisor here. Let's go to the supervisor to testify. If I don't give it to you, they will arrest me and go to jail. "
The man still didn't believe it: "If you join forces with them to deceive me, what should I do?"
The young man was helpless: "Then what do you say?"
The man thought for a while: "I'll go back and get the bag, I won't take advantage of you, and you can't take advantage of me."
After that, the man got his money back, but his body that had no strength ran out of the sprint speed.
There is food! Can buy food! The soldier didn't kill him!
With a smile on his face, the man ran all the way home.
When the family saw him coming back, their hands were empty and their eyes darkened a lot. The wife choked and said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll cook it for you."
The man waved his hand: "Go, take out our money and cloth bags, I'll go buy food!"
"What? Is there food? Can I still buy food now?" The whole family looked at him with hope in their eyes.
Food means life.
The man patted his chest and assured: "I just went out and met a soldier who took me to the market. The market is completely different now, it's clean and big, and everything is very clearly divided. I'll go buy some. Soybeans, buy some uncooked rice, we'll have a full meal today."
"The soldier took you there?" the wife wanted to ask.
The mother-in-law said: "I'll get the money, you'll get the cloth bag! I'll ask when the food is bought!"
The man went out with the money and the cloth bag and went straight to the market. On the way, there were soldiers who asked him if he needed help. Now he can open his mouth to talk. After rejecting several people, he went to the market to buy food and shoulders Carrying it on the top, carrying it in the hand, two big bags.
He didn't feel heavy at all. He felt that if he had one more hand, he could carry another bag back.
"Hey, you're still here." Zhou Dashan came over, "I thought you bought it and went back."
The man said cautiously, "Forgot to take the bag."
Zhou Dashan took the bag from him half by hand.
The man's eyes widened, terrified.
He knew, he knew that these soldiers were not good things, they wanted to rob him of food! To rob him of the food to survive!
Zhou Dashan: "Don't look at me like that, I'm afraid you'll be crushed before you get home, go, I'll take you back, remember to send me the pennant!"
After saying that, go ahead.
The man didn't dare to stop, so he could only follow. He wanted to get his food back, but there were soldiers patrolling on the road.
When he arrived at the door of the man's house, Zhou Dashan put down the grain bag and warned again: "Be sure to send me a pennant, don't forget it."
Then he said again which class he was in.
The man nodded vigorously, and when Zhou Dashan left, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He knocked on the door of the house and brought the grain in.
Looking at the two bags full of grain, the man finally had some smiles in his eyes.
"Daughter-in-law, go and cook Mumu, cook more, we're all full!"
