On the day Brother Dao and Zhu Chongba left, the rain was overwhelming. Fortunately, it wasn't too cold, and without saying a few words to Lin Yuan, they got into the woods - the leaves can block the rain, and the light rain is safe without thunder.
But Lin Yuan didn't let anyone build the wall today. Zhuangzi has no shelter from the rain. If he catches the wind and cold, he can only boil it without medicine. Some people are in good health, and they will be fine after a few days. Some people are not in good health, and they will die after simmering. Lin Yuan is not prepared to ignore people's life and death for the workload of a day.
So today is a rare day off.
After the rain stopped, many people went to the open space, lit a fire, and chatted while cooking.
No matter how much suffering they have gone through, as long as it is over, there will still be smiles on people's faces.
The men even played with squatting. Now the unplowed ground is relatively hard. If you drop a butt and squat, it will still hurt.
People are group animals, and when they get together, they always feel more secure.
"Master." Erliang came over with the cotton-padded coat, "You put another one on so you don't catch a cold."
Lin Yuan didn't refuse either. After putting on his padded coat, he asked Erliang, "Is there any wild land around?"
Erliang often follows the hunting team up the mountain, and I still know this: "Yes."
Lin Yuan asked again, "Is there anyone?"
Erliang nodded again: "Yes, they are all refugees, there are men and women, and they live in tents."
Lin Yuan nodded: "Go and call second brother Yang and say that I have something to discuss with him."
"Go to the wild to collect people?" Yang Zian touched his chin and thought for a while: "It's okay, I'm afraid it's not easy to discipline."
Now the people in Zhuangzi, either originally followed Yang Zian and Brother Dao, and these people obeyed.
Either they have a family, and they don't dare to have other thoughts for the sake of the family.
Or they were originally servants. These people don't care about anything else. They have enough to eat, clothe, and work.
But people in the wild are different.
Some may be from bandits, so don't shoot yourself in the foot.
Lin Yuan said, "I discipline myself."
He is also good at managing people, but dealing with these people is different.
Divert their attention and hatred, and push out a target. The target is the one who is the most disobedient, and let the most disobedient manage people.
Some of the people below will be flattered, some will be afraid, and some will be resentful.
When the resentment value reaches its peak, Lin Yuan can stand up.
Of course, he hoped that there would be no disobedient people.
At least not now, now everyone has to be twisted into a rope.
Once there is slack, the rope will break.
Lin Yuan also knew that it was basically impossible to keep his hands clean in a chaotic world, but he hoped that day would come later.
Yang Zian looked at Lin Yuan with some doubts. In his heart, Lin Yuan is not a person who can be ruthless and let Lin Yuan discipline him
Lin Yuan just sighed: "I don't want to care either."
But have to manage.
In the end, they took twenty people to the wild land. The so-called wild land is the area that the court does not care about, the wild countryside and mountains. The people who escaped could not enter the surrounding towns. , or let them in one day.
Some people can't stand the days of being driven out by people outside the city gate, and they can't even dig wild vegetables, so they go to the wild fields. Except winter, they can always find something to eat in other seasons. If you are lucky, you can also get it. Get some game.
Yun Niu was in the field, she forgot how old she was this year, maybe fifteen or seventeen, she couldn't even remember.
Both her parents are dead. In order to survive, she always works with different men. Some men will give her some wild vegetables, and some will leave with their pants on. Men who are unwilling to give food will kick her away.
But she survived.
Almost all of the fellow villagers who escaped with her died.
Now there is only one left, lying in the shed, living on the food Yunniu gave her every day.
Yun Niu fed her some bark, poured some saliva, and said to the woman lying down, "No one beat me today."
The woman's voice was like a tattered bellows: "That's good."
Yun Niu thought of something, and a smile appeared on her face: "Someone told me today that when his shed is ready, he will let me live with him."
The woman said, "That's fine too."
Yun Niu laughed.
"Yun Niu!" a man shouted outside, "I brought you grass roots!"
That's edible! Yun Niu's eyes flashed and she walked out of the grass shed.
The man probably endured it for a long time. When he saw Yun Niu coming out, he took off her trousers and pressed down on the ground to do something.
There are people passing by, some people will squat and watch, thinking that when the man is done, maybe they can drink soup without having to eat it, and some people are not surprised by this scene, and their faces are expressionless. gone.
As soon as the man went out, Yun Niu raised her trousers, hugged the grass roots, and bared her teeth at the onlookers: "What are you looking at? If you want to do it, bring food! Otherwise, I will bite your shit!"
Men are not afraid of her, but they don't want to bother with her, and they leave when they find that they can't take advantage.
Yun Niu got into her small grass hut again. This is the shed that she slept with the same person for more than ten days and didn't have anything to eat.
She chewed grass roots while humming hometown songs, and also stuffed some for the woman lying down.
The woman coughed twice: "Yun Niu, put me in the mountains."
Yun Niu was already lying down, she shook her head: "Let you go, you will die."
The woman laughed hard: "If you don't let it go, you will die, and your food will be wasted."
Yun Niu was unhappy: "Miss, Yun Niu should take care of you."
The woman was silent for a while, and finally said nothing.
Yun Niu has been protecting her. She is the young lady of the landlord's family, and Yun Niu is her maid. On the way to escape, her parents ran ahead with her younger brother, and they were separated.
After she was attacked by the gangsters, she lost consciousness below, and she had lochia all the time. Yunniu carried her behind her back and hid in the mountains, hiding and walking away, looking for a place to stay.
With a place to stay, Yun Niu started to do business.
Yun Niu is often beaten, and sometimes there is no good skin on her body.
Women sometimes think, what are you doing alive, it is better to be dead and quiet.
Yun Niu said: "My parents told me that it is better to live than to die."
The woman has been holding on.
She didn't want Yunniu to be sad.
"Miss, Yun Niu can't eat anymore..." Yun Niu was talking in her sleep.
Tears welled up in the corner of the woman's eyes, Yun Niu must have dreamed of the past, when the woman was still a landlady, with servants and maids, and there was unfinished grain and meat. She always asked Yun Niu to eat more, thinking that Yun Niu was too thin .
The woman suppressed her crying and couldn't stop crying.
