Chapter 3197 The cold and pure white as mud

Yi County is not big.

Later generations mostly had a strong understanding of Yixian, but if you talk about the apples in Shanxi, someone would probably know where they taste the best.

The reason why apples are delicious is that the temperature difference between day and night in this area is very large.

It’s so hot when it’s hot, but it’s so cold when it’s cold.

So the Cao army who arrived here in Yi County had to face the first thing they had to do was not swords and guns, but the severe cold at night.

Before the camp to avoid the cold was built, the soldiers of the Cao army had to fight with their bodies.

Before dawn, the Cao army soldiers who had been trembling all night would find that some people could never stand up.

『He is laughing!』

"Oh my God! He...he's laughing!!!"

There was a riot in the camp.

People with some medical knowledge in later generations can most likely know why people who have frozen to death will laugh, but these Cao army soldiers and ordinary people do not know the reason, so they think this phenomenon is very terrifying...

Most of the people who freeze to death are civilians.

Because the villagers do not have enough clothes to keep warm, and the ground nests cannot be dug in a short time.

『Everyone goes away! Get out!』

Cao Jun’s military academy came up and coaxed the surrounding civilians away.

There was an indescribable strange smell in the sky.

Some say it is the smell of dead people, while others say it is the smell of monsters who came to suck their souls last night.

The sound of howling sounded, which was sad for the death of a loved one.

"You! Come here!" Cao Jun Military Academy pointed at the old stove and "throw these corpses to the other side of the mountain!"

Cao Jun Military Academy waved his arms as if driving away flies or other insects.

Lao Zaotou had no choice but to go forward with a few other auxiliary soldiers, grab the body's hands and feet, and drag it to the other side of the mountain.

The corpse is like a worthless firewood.

It doesn't even have the value of cutting it off to make rat meat.

Because most of them are skinny and bone-bone, and there is not much meat.

The other side of the mountain was actually not far apart. Suddenly, his pupils shook and his lips were stuttering.

He saw that under the hillside, there were corpses stacked up.

Those corpses were laughing...

Smiling at him.

At this moment, Lao Zaotou felt that the hair on his body seemed to be erect, and the sound of the wind in his ears turned into the crying of those ghosts. His heart trembled violently, making it difficult for him to breathe.

It’s not that he has seen dead people, but he has never seen so many dead people who die with a smile.

This scene made Lao Zaotou's heart tremble for a long time.

The climate of the Han Dynasty and before the Han Dynasty was very warm. This can be seen from the changes in clothing in the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, wearing wide robes and large sleeves and ventilated and comfortable clothes was a common state, so the people in the Central Plains of the Han Dynasty had serious shortcomings in their understanding of wind and snow in winter.

Lao Zaotou endured the discomfort in his heart and threw the body down.

The corpse was like a stiff wood, rolling and falling.

It's like being thrown into a furnace.

Lao Jiao didn't dare to look at it anymore. When he turned his head, he saw the beaten man standing by the pit yesterday.

Lao Zaotou pushed him and said, "What are you doing when you are standing there? Go quickly and dig the ground nest."

"Then... the man is still alive..." The man pointed at the pit tremblingly, "The man... he smiled at me, his hands were moving..."

"Let's go! All these are dead! Dead!" Lao Zaotou felt creepy. He didn't dare to stay by the pit. He pulled the civilian, "Let's go! Only by selling some strength can you survive and have food to eat! You won't die if you eat!"

"There are still people living there..."

"No! No! You read it wrong!"

"I……"

"Let's go!" The old stove dragged the civilian man away, and did not dare to look back. "If you work hard, you will not die, you will not die! What's your name?"

"I... my name is Shi Tou..." The civil servant Mumu replied, then turned to see the pit, "The father-in-law... over there..."

"Don't worry about that! Don't worry about it! They are all dead!" Lao Zhao muttered, for some reason, his voice trembled a little, "Let's go, add more effort, dig a nest, and you won't die! Shi Tou, your name is Shi Tou, this is a good name, you won't die, you will definitely not die..."

The hope of Laozhaotou is simple.

Their wishes are simple.

Live.

I don’t want to have a good time, but I just want my family to live a peaceful life...

...

...

『It's done! It's done! It's done!"

Lao Jiaotou looked at the sun set, and some relaxed expressions appeared on his tired face.

He looked around, looked at the auxiliary soldiers and civilians around him, and said, "If you have a nest, don't be afraid! You can put a layer on the ground and a layer on your body at night. It's okay! You won't die, everyone can survive!"

Everyone was relieved when they heard this.

But the next moment, a team of Cao soldiers with swords came over, drove them away, and gathered them together.

They were a little panicked and had an ominous premonition in their hearts.

The crowd began to move, in another direction.

"What are you doing?" Lao Zhao shouted, "What are you going to do?"

A moment later, another auxiliary soldier replied, "They want us to build the village wall overnight!"

"Are you crazy?" Lao Zao's head buzzed, "They... they didn't look at it, didn't they see so many people died last night?"

Someone grabbed the old stove and said, "Old Jun, didn't you say you'd just dig a nest? Didn't you say that we'd be honest and obedient, and we could have food to eat... and we could survive, you said..."

Those who want to die have long died.

The living people have already paid a lot to live, so much that they dare not even die.

If they die like this, then what they have done before and what they have paid for?

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. You may not die if you repair the village wall. If you repair the village wall earlier, you can block some wind and cold... If you have the village wall earlier, you can beat the thieves earlier... You can go home early..."

『But the weather is too cold...it's dark, at night...』

Before he finished speaking, Laozhao heard someone screaming behind him.

『Ahhhhh!』

Lao Zhao looked back and saw several soldiers of Cao's army dragging out the civilians who were unwilling to leave and dig the land, and then killed them with a knife...

A Cao army military academy shouted loudly: "Did you see it?! Maliciously lazy and resisting the military order, this is the end! I listened to it! There is an order from above, and the village wall must be completed tonight! Otherwise, severe punishment will not be neglected!"

Others who looked like official Cao Jun, also shouted loudly—

"One person is lazy, the whole team will be punished!"

"I would rather work until death than rest for a moment!"

『…』

The driven-out husbands were cold, tired and hungry, and many husbands couldn't help but make a sound of sadness.

But when Cao Jun Military Academy heard these wails, he was laughing.

"Haha, look at the appearance of these troublemakers, it's so funny..."

"The boss has a way. We can have a good sleep tonight!"

"When the lieutenant arrives tomorrow, we must praise the boss for his good work! At that time, the boss will definitely be able to accumulate merit and be promoted! Our brothers can also benefit from some wealth!"

"Yes, being able to build such a large camp in advance means that our boss is capable, courage and responsibility! If the boss is not promoted, who can be promoted? Who can?!"

『Yes, yes!』

『Yes, yes!』

The military academy was named Zeng. After hearing the praises of his subordinates, he smiled and said, "It's all for the Han court! Whatever promotion is not promotion, I just want to be at ease! After receiving the salary and military pay, of course I have to do my best to do my best!"

"Ah yes!"

As for the salary and military pay, how did those salaries and military pay come from, they were really the officials of the court who wanted to come down from heaven?

They don't know, and they don't want to know.
