Chapter 44 The Silent One

After eating, I drank some spring water and wanted to drink hot water. There was no equipment to boil water, so I had to drink raw water. Fortunately, there was no pollution in ancient times.

The bonfire was put out. There was no need to light a fire to keep warm on this hot day.

Jiang Shuisheng led his men to prepare for departure, inspected the weapons, and removed the gun heads.

Chen Zhongprin arranged for someone to hide the cart. If he really wanted to escape, it would be much easier to push him on a cart than to carry him on a stretcher.

Hong Lianshuo sat on the cart with his son in his arms, looked at Chen Zhongyuan with burning eyes and asked, "Colonel Chen, is there a granary outside the city?"

"If so, the entire area of ​​a hundred miles has probably been robbed." Chen Zhongyuan said with an unhappy expression.

Hong Lianshuo slapped his forehead, forgetting that Yandu City had been besieged for a month and had been wiped out three feet long ago.

"Ms. Hong is worried about food?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her anxiously and asked.

"That's right! No matter how many people are detained in Nanjiayuan, feeding these 600 people is a big problem." Hong Lianshuo frowned and looked at them.

"Is this okay for hunting? Today's harvest is quite fruitful." Sixi said while slobbering, looking like a greedy cat.

"Hunting can only be supplemented with vegetables and cannot be used as a staple food. We cannot live without food after all." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes.

"What should we do now? There is no place to grab it now." Chen Zhongyuan patted his thigh.

"We have to farm our own land and grow food!" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with calm eyes.

"Grow your own?" Sixi scratched her head and asked, "Where is the fertile land here? There are no hoes, no cattle, not even seeds."

Every time Si Xi said something, the faces of everyone present darkened.

Hong Lianshuo glanced around and saw the expressions of "too difficult" written all over their faces.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t have anything.

"There are a lot of wasteland here, and we don't have the tools to do it! We are afraid that we will not be able to grow food and starve to death." Hong Lianshuo spread his calloused hands and looked at them with shining eyes.

"It's just that this wasteland has turned into fertile land, and there are many jealous people." Chen Zhongyuan said with slightly squinted eyes.

"Understood! No one is plowing the thin fields, but there are people fighting to plow them!" Hong Lianshuo said, looking at them with a slight arc in his eyes.

Chen Zhongyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this and said, "That's so right!"

Hong Lianshuo looked at them with dark eyes and said gently, "So our daily training cannot stop. We are citizens when we carry hoes, and we are soldiers when we carry spears to defend our fruits of victory."

Hong Lianshuo's voice was gentle and melodious, inspiring them like the faint clouds over the river and the sparse raindrops on the sycamore trees.

Chen Zhongyuan and the others looked at each other, nodded, and agreed that it was okay.

"In this case, we will really have to go up the mountain and become a bandit." Chen Zhongyuan joked with a big grin.

"Then Mrs. Hong is the King of the Mountain." Fang Dachui cupped his fists with his hands and said with a smile, "Hello, the King of the Mountain!"

"Does that mean we have to rob the rich and give to the poor?" Sixi also joked.

"Robbing is not a long-term solution after all." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with a gentle and harmless look, and said slowly, "State-owned and state-owned!"

Although this voice was gentle, it sounded murderous in their ears.

"Do you really want the prince to commit the same crime as the common people and be punished according to the national law? Those nobles are finished." Chen Zhongyuan looked at them with big eyes and said.

"Impossible! The nobles live a better life than anyone else. This is just a thought." Si Xi snorted coldly, "Then the national law only governs us who have no power."

"So! We are not robbing the rich to give to the poor, we are doing things in accordance with the law! We handle official business without any favoritism or bending the law." The corners of Hong Lianshuo's mouth curved in a beautiful arc, as gentle as the crescent moon rising.

"Ahem..." Chen Zhongyuan was so startled by her that he coughed.

"Why are you so surprised?" Hong Lianshuo looked at them with raised eyebrows and asked.

"That's right, those nobles don't have clean bottoms." Sixi gritted his teeth and then scratched his ears and asked, "But this law?" He lowered his voice and said, "The imperial court is gone, whose law should we follow?"

When Hong Lianshuo heard this, a big smile appeared on his face and he said, "The imperial court is not its own family. Every dynasty and every generation has its own laws."

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, they all made this law to benefit the nobles." Jiang Shuisheng said angrily after checking the weapons, "It's basically to help them get away with it."

Hong Lianshuo looked at Jiang Shuisheng with surprise in his eyes. He really didn't expect that he could say such a thing.

Jiang Shuisheng was stared at by her and he froze. He swallowed and said, "Ms. Hong, did I say something wrong?"

"No! That's right." Hong Lianshuo said with a smile from the corner of his eyes to the tip of his eyebrows.

They are blind men eating dumplings. They know everything in their minds, but they never have the power to speak out.

Belongs to the silent ones, the majority.

"The law does not serve the interests of a small group of people, but rather safeguards the interests of the majority." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with clear eyes and said, looking at them who were a little confused and said, "We will talk about this later, we have to solve the problem of hunger first.

Stomach problems, if you don’t eat enough, it will cause big problems.”

"A person who is extremely hungry can do anything." Chen Zhongyuan said with lingering fear.

The city of Yandu was besieged for a month, and we witnessed too many human tragedies. It was terrible.

"Yeah!" Sixi and the others nodded in unison.

"I never want to be hungry again in this life." Jiang Shuisheng said, covering his withered stomach.

Although life in the barracks was difficult, and some people stuttered and did not have enough to eat, they would not starve to death.

"You are relatively familiar with this generation. Is there any place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack? We can set up camp!" Hong Lianshuo looked directly at them with his dark pupils.

A few of them were scratching their heads and thinking.

Suddenly, Chen Zhongyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at her and said, "It's true, it's more than forty miles away from here." He pointed to this place and said, "The mountain is higher than this, the terrain is dangerous, and the forest is even denser." Rubbing his palms together.

forehead said, "I'm just a little worried about wild beasts."

"Beast?" Hong Lianshuo looked at him with unusually bright eyes and said, "We have weapons, are we still afraid?"

"They are all ferocious beasts, jackals, tigers and leopards." Chen Zhongyuan reminded her, "Those with rough skin and thick flesh are difficult for ordinary arrows to penetrate."

"The only way is to hunt and win by relying on the number of people." Hong Lianshuo looked at them with his deep and clear eyes and said.

"Isn't this a victory without fighting?" Sixi said in a low voice.

"You idiot!" Chen Zhongyuan slapped Si Xi on the back of the head with his big palm-like hand, "That's a wild beast, a wild beast that can eat people. You talk to it about benevolence and justice!" He said in a rough voice, "No matter what.

Whether it’s a war or a hunt, you just have to win!”

"I was wrong, I was wrong." Sixi said, shrinking her neck and rubbing the back of her head.
