074 Filial Gao Shun, on duty late at night
When you get close to the crowd
Chu Yan stopped on his own initiative, raised his hand and said loudly:
“We have no ill intentions”
As soon as the words fell
The hungry people on the other side breathed a sigh of relief.
But the formation did not disperse
As the saying goes, you should not have the intention to harm others, but you must be on guard against others.
They would not easily let down their guard just because of Chu Yan’s words.
At this time, an old man walked out of the crowd.
He stepped forward with his blackened cane and asked:
“I wonder what this young man wants to talk to us about?”
Chu Yan bowed slightly and said immediately:
“We came from Changshan County, Jizhou, and were going to Chenliu State, Yanzhou.”
“I don’t know the direction when I got here, so I want to ask you if you know where this place is?”
After saying this, he took out a large piece of dry food from his arms.
The hungry people on the other side immediately looked at the dry food biscuits.
Subconsciously swallowed the already thirsty saliva
Eyes full of desire
Chu Yan continued:
“Of course, we���No need to ask, we can use this dry food cake as an exchange”
The dry food biscuits are not big, just the size of a palm.
Made from corn, flour and running water
For this group of nearly twenty hungry people
Maybe this piece of dry food can’t even fill the stomach of one person.
But they haven’t eaten for a long time.
So even if it is just a small piece of dry food, it can still make them salivate.
However, this group of people is very orderly
They all remained silent until the old man who stood up spoke.
The old man licked his dry lips:
“Young man, this place is the border between Guangping County and Shangdang County in Bingzhou.”
“Continue along this road and you will reach the best place in Gyeonggi Province.”
“If you want to go to Chenliu, you need to go forward for more than 30 miles along this road, and then go southeast along the fork road.” ah?
How did it get close to Bingzhou?
Chu Yan was stunned
He remembered that he was heading southeast, but how come he ended up going west?
There was no such thing as navigation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty
So wherever you go, it all depends on your sense of the road
Of course, before setting off, Chu Yan asked her father for a map. but
The drawing level of this period is mostly rough.
I can only say that I can barely see it
If the road feel is a little worse
There are no obvious landmarks around.
Even with a map, it’s easy to get off track
Fortunately, it is not too far off, and it is still not too late to fix it.
Chu Yan took a few steps forward and handed the dry food biscuit to the old man.
“Thank you for telling me, old man”
“It doesn’t matter. I, the old man, would like to thank you, young man.”
The old man took the dry food cake but did not eat it.
Instead, break the dry food biscuits into many large and small portions.
The larger ones were given to children and women with unsteady feet
The small ones were given to the remaining hungry people.
But he didn’t eat a single bite
He just calmly looked at every hungry person behind him, his eyes full of doting.
Everyone here holds a dry food biscuit that is not much bigger than a fingernail.
Put it in your mouth
Chewing hard, but not swallowing
It’s not that I can’t drink water.
They haven’t eaten for too long.
Now that I finally get a bite of food, I just want to keep the food in my mouth as long as possible
When everyone has finished eating
A boy about fifteen or sixteen years old, more than 1.8 meters tall, walked out of the crowd.
He stuffed his dry food biscuits into the old man’s pocket:
“Grandpa, you eat too.”
The old man raised his hand with difficulty and touched the boy’s head:
“Shun’er is so filial. Grandpa, I’m not hungry. You eat.”
Gao Shun did not retract his outstretched hand:
“Grandpa, you are lying. You haven’t eaten for three days. You must be hungry.”
“And the pie you gave me is big, I just took a big bite”
After saying this, he pretended to chew
It seems like I took a big bite.
However, these cakes were broken by the old man himself.
So the old man could tell at a glance that the dry food biscuit in the boy’s hand had not been touched at all.
“Shun’er, you should eat it. We all still need your protection.”
“Only when you are full will you have the strength to protect us all and go to Gyeonggi.”
The young man repeatedly invited the old man to eat, but he repeatedly declined.
Dian Wei, who was standing by, saw the boy being so filial.
Quite appreciative
Immediately aroused the chivalrous spirit in my heart
Without saying a word, he took out ten pieces of dry food biscuits from the carriage and walked forward:
“You two should stop refusing each other. Here, I have ten pieces of dry food biscuits. I’ll give them to you.”
Before leaving Xinghua Village
Chu Ji prepared enough dry food for Chu Yan and Dian Wei to last them a month.
Need to know
Whether it is Dian Wei or Chu Yan, they are both very good eaters.
Two people need at least five or six kilograms of food a day
So even if these ten dry food biscuits
In fact, it’s just the amount of food they eat in a day.
However, the compaction level of the dry food biscuits
These ten pieces of dry food may not be enough for these hungry people to have a full meal
But it’s definitely okay to simply fill your stomach
The young man looked at this tall and strong man with a fierce look in surprise.
Sure enough (adfc), you can’t judge a person by appearance
Although this guy doesn’t look good, he has a kind heart.
The boy’s impression of Dian Wei changed a lot
However, the old man shook his head and pushed the dry food cake back:
“We are very grateful for the kindness of this brave man, but we cannot accept it.”
Dian Wei scratches his head
How come there are still such stupid people in the world?
I’m starving.
Still entangled in these?
But when he saw the old man, who was so weak that he could hardly stand
But my eyes are still bright and I know
This is the old man and this group of hungry people’s inner insistence on morality.
This persistence
They can hold their breath and continue to go on
But if this persistence dissipates
Then the team and the people’s hearts will be scattered.
Maybe they will end up being no different from the beasts in human skins we saw before. insensitive
I can give up being a human being just for a bite of food
For a moment, Dian Wei didn’t know what to do.
Chu Yan next to him suddenly had an idea and stepped forward and said:
“Elder man, we still need your help with something.”
The old man saw that Chu Yan and Dian Wei wanted to help them.
He looked back at the desire for food in the eyes of the tribesmen behind him.
Take a deep breath
Moreover, Chu Yan and Dian Wei gave him a way out.
He insisted
It makes him seem inhumane.
“Is there anything else you need our help with? We will do our best.”
Chu Yan waved her hand:
“It’s not a big deal, it’s just that it’s getting dark, it’s not suitable for traveling, and our horses need to rest.”
“So I would like to invite you to rest here together”
“There are so many people, can they take care of each other?”
The old man nodded:
“This is a small matter. I, an old man, agree on behalf of the tribe, and we are ready to take a rest.”
Chu Yan grinned:
“Okay, since you agree, don’t refuse the dry food biscuits here.”
“You are hungry, and if you faint from hunger at night, won’t you be able to take care of us?”
The old man smiled helplessly and obediently took the dry food cake from Dian Wei.
Then we divided it into two parts as before.
But now I have ten dry food biscuits
Don’t be too calculating.
A piece of dry food cake weighs about one pound.
In total, almost everyone can get half a pound of dry food biscuits.
Soon, ten pieces of dry food cakes were distributed.
Then it was handed to everyone.
But the dry food biscuit in the old man’s hand is still the smallest
The hungry people got some dry food biscuits. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
I haven’t eaten yet, but tears are already welling up in my eyes
Unfortunately, due to lack of water
Everyone wanted to cry but no one came out
Today’s meal
This is the best meal I’ve had in the past month or so.[]
Seeing this, Dian Wei returned to the carriage and took out a few pots of water.
Because I know there has been a severe drought for several years.
So they set out this time
Not only food but also plenty of water was prepared.
Especially after Yun Yi gave Xinghua Village unlimited water
There is no shortage of water.
So just fill every water bottle up.
Almost overflowing
“Don’t you feel choked if you eat dry food? Come, drink some water.”
Dian Wei also understood the nature of these hungry people and immediately explained:
“This water is cheap. We have plenty of water there, so I filled a lot of it and brought it out. You can drink as much as you want.”
“And what if you choke to death while eating dry food, how will you take care of us at night?”
The old man’s face twitched
Although I know this strong man is kind-hearted
But why does this sound so unpleasant?
But the old man did not refuse and just took the two kettles.
Then he said to the crowd behind him:
“Everyone lines up, children and women drink first, and then others drink after they finish drinking.”
Everyone nodded and quickly lined up.
Rapid Action
Even if it is better than the border troops who follow orders,
Chu Yan and Dian Wei looked at each other
This group of people is a little unusual!
Then, the hungry people lined up, one after another, in front of the old man.
Uncork and take a sip
Then without any hesitation, he handed it to the person behind him.
The same goes for the people behind.
So that nearly twenty people all drank it all.
I haven’t finished drinking a bottle of water yet.
The old man returned the two kettles:
“Thank you, warrior.”
However, Dian Wei did not take it and waved his hand:
“I told you I’m giving it to you. This water is cheap. Just take it. We have plenty on the carriage.”
Seeing Dian Wei insist
The old man pursed his lips, nodded and put the kettle away.
But I will remember the kindness silently in my heart
“I wonder what the name of this brave man and young man is?”
Dian Wei and Chu Yan said respectively:
“I am Dian Wei from Chenliu State in Yanzhou”
“I am Chu Yan from Changshan County, Jizhou”
After saying this, the two asked back:
“I wonder what your name is, old man?”
The old man said weakly:
“My name is Gao Ping, and these people behind me are my descendants.”
Chu Yan scratches his head
I don’t remember finding any famous family with the surname Gao in Jizhou.
But Dian Wei suddenly said:
“Gao? I know there is a noble family in our Chenliu Kingdom with the surname Gao.”
The old man sighed softly and suddenly looked towards the southeast:
“Dian Wei, you are probably referring to Chenliu Gao Clan”
“We are actually their branch.”
What a coincidence?
Dian Wei was stunned, then asked in confusion:
“Since you are a branch of the Chenliu Gao family, why would you head towards the capital instead of going to Chenliu to join the Gao family?”
“I remember that in Chenliu State, the Gao family was considered one of the most powerful families.”
“Even if it is affected by the drought, it should be more than enough to feed you guys.”
The old man sighed, then his eyes were firm:
“We left from Chenliu Gaoshi that year.”
“We would rather die on the way to the capital than return to the Gao family in Chenliu like a stray dog and ask them to take us in.”
Words that speak loud and clear
Dian Wei and Chu Yan both heard that there might be some hidden secrets in this.
It’s just that the old man doesn’t say
It is not convenient for outsiders to ask them
In desperation, Dian Wei had to turn to the young man next to the old man.
“What’s your name, kid?”
The young man took a step forward and came in front of Dian Wei:
“My name is Gao��”
“Gao Shun? Not bad, not bad, you are very filial, I will remember you.”Dian Wei praised
The sun is setting
The heat is finally fading away
The moon rabbit rose from the east again, illuminating the earth with bright light.
Chu Yan took some hay and concentrate from the carriage and fed it to the horses
The two horses buried their heads in the hay and ate it mouthful by mouthful with relish.
The Gao family members around were jealous.
Although it is extremely dry during the day
But it’s not hot at all at night
There is even a hint of coolness coming from the ground into the body
Dian Wei and Chu Yan sat beside the carriage, seemingly discussing something.
The Gao family gathered in a circle, leaning against each other for warmth.
But they didn’t say a word, very quiet
Or they don’t want to talk.
After all, talking also requires physical energy.
If you talk too much, you won’t have the energy to move forward tomorrow.
“Brother Dianwei, let’s sleep in sections.”
Chu Yan suggested,”I’ll be on duty in the first half of the night, and you sleep; you’ll be on duty in the second half of the night, and I’ll sleep.”
Dian Wei shook his head:
“What are you talking about? You have been driving the carriage all day, and I have been resting in the carriage for a day.”
“Do we have to work in sections at night? No! Absolutely not!”
“I can’t ask you to be on duty tonight.”
“Besides, you have to continue driving tomorrow, and I can continue to rest during the day tomorrow.”
“So it’s settled, I’ll be on duty tonight, and you can have a good night’s sleep in the carriage.”
Chu Yan smiled bitterly
Brother Dianwei takes good care of him
The road conditions during the day
The bumps can make people fly rest?
It’s impossible!
If you don’t vomit after getting off the car, you are considered to have good physical fitness
But seeing Dian Wei’s righteous expression, Chu Yan knew that he was taking care of her.
But he was indeed a little tired now, and finally nodded:
“Okay, thank you for your hard work tonight, Brother Dianwei.”
Dian Wei waved his hand:
“What’s the hard work? I guess there should be someone on duty at Gao’s place.”
“I might even be able to chat with them at night to kill time.”
“You should rest up quickly, we still have a long day to travel tomorrow.”
Don’t have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against others
The Gao family, Dian Wei and Chu Yan all chose people to be on duty at night.
It’s not that I don’t trust the other party.
It’s just this kind of wilderness
Even if the other party is not present, one or two people are usually selected to be on duty.
To prevent any possible danger
If no one is on duty
According to the degree of hard work during the day
I’m afraid that after I fell asleep at night, a wolf took it away without me knowing.
The Gao family gathered together and fell asleep one after another.
Chu Yan curled up in the carriage and gradually fell asleep
A low and rhythmic snoring sound came from the carriage.
In the moonlight, Dian Wei glanced in the direction of Gao’s house.
There are not many people on duty at the Gao family, only two
One of them he didn’t know
But the other one is of course the guy named Gao Shun.
“Gao Shun, come and chat with me.”
Dian Wei lowered his voice and shouted
Gao Shun was stunned
But Dian Wei is the savior of their Gao family after all.
So he didn’t refuse
Instead, he ran towards Dian Wei in small steps.
