Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

On a rare sunny day, Li woke up early to do the laundry. He now lives in the staff dormitory—what the owner calls it. They felt awkward at first, but after getting used to it, it became natural. He poured water in a tub and held it on the balcony When washing clothes, there is a long rope hanging on the balcony. It is thick and strong. It can hang a lot of clothes. They don't have any clothes. Even the old cotton clothes they wear were given by the owner.

So now all the clothes are underwear, a few rags, just a little wash.

"What are you eating this morning?" Lao Zhang next to Li asked.

Li Da: "How do I know? I will go to the cafeteria after I wash my clothes."

The cafeteria is a straw shed, but it is well built. The women cook on the back of the stove. It is a smorgasbord. The only advantage is that there is no shortage of oil or salt, which is delicious enough for them.

The women are all family members of the brothers of Yang Zi'an. After their autumn harvest, they took the family and escaped the disaster in Wucheng.

Old Zhang smiled at Li Da: "Look at what you washed, it's almost broken."

Li Da looked at the pile of rags in his hand, unable to deny what Lao Zhang said. He looked at the woods not far away: "My boss is going out?"

He saw the bullock cart.

Lao Zhang followed Li Da's gaze and found Lin Yuan was getting in the car. He thought for a while and said, "Xu is the boss going to Wucheng to see?"

Li Da was taken aback: "What about going to Wucheng? Going to die for nothing?"

Lao Zhang slapped Li Dayan in the face: "Hurry up and close your crow's mouth, the boss has his own plan."

By the woods, Lin Yuan rushed to see off the people and said: "Go back, and I will be back when the business is over."

They went far away. Wucheng was hit by a disaster, and the nearby towns were not much better. He and Jiang Gui went into battle with nothing but silver.

"No matter good or bad, you can buy all the food you can eat." Old Lin exhorted.

Lin Yuan: "Father, I know. I'm not here during this time. If you have any questions, please ask Brother Li and Brother Yang."

Father Lin also knows that Lin Yuan has three righteous brothers. He thinks his son is very smart. It is good to have a few righteous brothers in a place where he is not familiar with his life. His attitude towards Li Congrong and Yang Zian Jiang Gui Very well, as if to treat them as their own sons.

Li Congrong said to the side: "Little brother, you don't have to worry about this, as long as I am here, you will not waste your efforts."

Lin Yuan: "Brother, it's our hard work."

Li Congrong smiled and said, "Yes, I said the wrong thing again."

Yang Zi'an said, "Don't take the road, just go around a little bit. If you notice something wrong, just abandon the car and hide."

Jiang Gui answered, "Brother, don't worry, we know it in our hearts."

Lin Yuan knew that when the time comes, he will either hire a group of people to come back, or buy a group of people to come back, because of so much food, relying on him and Jiang Gui, let alone transporting it back, it’s good to not be robbed or lost on the road. .

Such troubled times will not end easily, at least there are still several years, or even ten years or so.

If there are too few people, it is difficult to be self-sufficient. Farming is possible, but other necessities will continue to be consumed. Once the virtuous circle is broken and the vicious circle begins, his small base will be easily disintegrated from within.

Compared with employment, Lin Yuan is more inclined to buy people, and most of those who are unwilling to be slaves have become bandits.

And those who are willing to be slaves, they have already brainwashed themselves and will not easily betray their masters.

He wanted to take people away from his side, but the problem was that there was only one cow and one donkey, but he was afraid that the donkey would die on the road, so only the bullock cart could be used.

Jiang Gui is very confident. He has been to Liuzhen where they decided to go. The people there are strong, but if they are also very hospitable, most of them rely on farming for their livelihoods, and some rely on hunting.

I heard that in the early days, the people in their entire town were good hunters. Since they were young, they would arrange traps and bows and arrows, as well as blow arrows with poison. A local toad secretes venom on its back, and only a little , It can paralyze a cow, so that the cow can only be slaughtered.

Jiang Gui said: "Their land is fat, there are fewer people and more land, and Chen Liang will never be less."

Lin Yuan does not know how to drive a car, so it was Jiang Gui who drove the car. Lin Yuan was sitting in the car. He took a drink of water and looked at the same trees and grass around him. If he came out to pick greenery, maybe he would still praise the scenery. , The air is fresh, but he is not, so all this makes him feel a little irritable.

They drove for five days. During these five days, they simply ate some dry bread, washed their throats with water, slept in the car at night, drove the ox cart to the depths of the woods, set fire to them, and prevented wild animals from attacking them. You have to stay alert at all times and take turns to watch the night.

After all, a fire can really scare away wild animals, but it can't scare away people.

These five days made Lin Yuan feel like a month has passed.

Jiang Gui’s beard has grown a lot, and he looks more vicissitudes of life than five days ago. Lin Yuan is okay. His body is only fifteen years old. The hormones are not as many as Jiang Gui secretes. There was a little stubble, just a few stubbles—he was pulled out.

How many beards are on the chin... Is that fair?!

"It's almost here!" Jiang Gui became excited and shook Lin Yuan who was sitting next to him. Lin Yuan rubbed his sore buttocks and opened his eyes wide to watch the road that suddenly opened up.

There are even tea stalls set up by the local people on the roadside for passing pedestrians and merchants to drink. Of course, they have to collect money.

It seems that the refugees have not been affected at all here. They live a self-sufficient life. Both men and women have the ability to protect themselves. Even children who have not learned to walk must learn to hold a bow.

Lin Yuan also asked Jiang Gui carefully and determined that most of the people here are Han, only a small number of Mongolians.

The Mongols here are not officials, or ordinary people, and they have mixed marriages with Han people, and they have been fully integrated here.

"Auntie!" Jiang Gui drove the bullock cart to the tea stand on the roadside, calling for people to come and tie the bull.

The auntie is about forty years old, she is already a bit old, but she is strong, and if she doesn't look at her face, some people believe that she is in her early thirties.

"Feed beans or grass?" The aunt touched the cow.

Jiang Gui looked at Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan said, "Feed some beans."

The soy ingredients here can even be used to feed cattle, and Lin Yuan felt that he had found a treasure.

The auntie checked them, there was a plate of side dishes and two bowls of porridge. There were no other guests at this time, and the auntie sat with her grandson and sang the local nursery rhymes.

After Lin Yuan finished the porridge, he felt that he was finally alive. Then he asked, "Mother, we are from a field and want to buy some food to go back."

He is not worried that this is a black shop, no black shop owner will be a woman, and no black shop owner is not only a woman but also holding a grandson.

In addition, this shop can afford soy ingredients and cooks white rice porridge, so it won't take risks for money.

The aunt turned her head, her face was filled with joy: "Why Chen?"

Her family received new grains, and the granary could not be put down, but Chen Liang was not selling at a price. She was angrily said not to sell it. This was good, but it was smashed. Chen Liang tasted musty, and adults and children were not willing to eat They are very remote here, and the nearest neighboring village has to drive an ox cart for three days. There is no road, and it’s difficult to buy food. There may be bandits on the road. The aunt has been suffering from that batch of Chen Liang for a long time.

Almost every family in the local area suffers from this headache.

They were starving to death outside, but they were worried that they had too much food. Lin Yuan didn't know what to look on when he knew it.

In a sense, this is also a paradise.
