Going all the way north, I saw more than one puddle.
As far as the eye could see in the puddle, several floating corpses were faintly visible.
Everyone felt jealous and felt strange, and gradually there were whispers among the crowd.
However, the path we took was not in the same direction as the puddle. After the girl who led the way got off the mountain path here, she walked towards another mountain path.
There was a low wind, and everyone's trousers were stained with mud, and their feet in the worn-out shoes were already covered in mud.
After walking for another half an hour, the girl couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Brother Tong, how long do we have to walk? Can we stop and rest?"
How could Lao Tong be in control? He looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ah Li..."
"Let's go." Xia Zhaoyi said without looking back.
Lao Tong glanced at the girl over there and said, "Just, just keep walking for a while?"
The girl sighed and felt uncomfortable walking, but she still followed.
Not far away, at the foot of the mountain, we finally saw a village. The village was surrounded by a small cluster of low houses, many of which had been washed away by the heavy rain.
There is an overflowing river in front of the village, and there are a lot of broken ghost papers stuck on the high slope beside the river.
The wind and rain blew down the hillside behind the village, and dozens of coffins were washed out. Judging from the condition of the coffins, they may not have been buried for half a year.
Visible to the naked eye, there is no one in the village anymore.
Lao Tong looked at Xia Zhaoyi and asked, "Shall we go there to rest?"
"Yeah." Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "There should be a lot of ready-made cabinets and beds over there, and the wood can be used."
"Do you really want to build a ship?"
"How can we cross the river without building a boat," Xia Zhaoyi said, suddenly smiling and looking at Lao Tong, "Old Tong, what are your plans for the future?"
"arrange?"
"I am the one who is going home. We just happened to meet each other on the way together this time. We will eventually go our separate ways. What are your plans then?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.
Lao Tong was stunned and hesitated. It was not that he had not thought about this problem, but there was no point in thinking about it.
He raised his hand and scratched his head: "Then I... continue to do some hard work? Is it okay to be a porter or a thug?"
"It's good to learn a craft," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "I can teach you how to cut wood, and I can teach you how to build a boat. If you have talent and can draw parallels, you can learn to make other things. Then I can teach you how to make boats.
Isn’t it good for Changle to make a living from this?”
"That's right!" Old Tong Yixi said, "There's really a lot that can be learned!"
"There are a lot of things to learn in this world, and there is no end to learning!" Xia Zhaoyi smiled and walked forward.
As you go down the road, you see more and more desolation. Dozens of acres of crop fields outside the village are covered with weeds.
The wind carried the water droplets from the mountain, blowing them in the cold. The mud pits under my feet were deep and shallow, making it very difficult to walk.
After entering the village and making some arrangements, Xia Zhaoyi chose two tall men among these people, and together with Zhi Changle, the four of them went out to look for food.
Among the remaining people, Lao Tong selected a few strong ones to search for wood from house to house.
Ink clouds are deposited, the sky and the earth are dark, the water in the river is fast and the color is turbid.
Zhi Changle and the two big men were cutting branches by the river, while Xia Zhaoyi climbed up the cliff alone along the bald wall. When walking through a forest, she accidentally saw the puddle over there again.
The mountain is not that high, and the mottled spots in the puddle can be seen roughly.
There are corpses floating on the water, and there should be more below. The smell may be very unpleasant.
Xia Zhaoyi suddenly smiled, her smile was speechless and helpless, and she shook her head.
The first puddle we saw, based on the color of the surrounding soil, we could tell that it was newly dug. Based on the water level in the puddle, we could also tell that the puddle took only two days to dig. And this
It has been raining for a while. Who would be so free to dig such a big hole in the heavy rain?
Moreover, the purpose is very clear, it is to divert water, as if to prevent the water in this big corpse pit from overflowing.
With organization, scale, and a large number of people, the answer is clear, only the army.
Looking at the posture of caring about the country and the people, it is definitely impossible to be a rebel.
But who came up with this method? Digging a hole and then digging another hole is to dig out the whole area.
However, this also reminded Fang Xiatong of several previous allusions, such as the famous Zhaoshen Lake in Jianghuai, which seemed to have been dug out by the army five hundred years ago.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xia Zhaoyi looked away.
There should be a city or open high ground near here, so that troops can be garrisoned.
Or maybe, if you continue going up, you might be able to see Peifeng City.
Looking like this, her eyes quickly caught a horse team not far away.
Xia Zhaoyi frowned, turned around and walked towards the hilltop on the other side, where he could see it more clearly.
It was indeed a horse team. Because of the gloomy sky, those on horseback all held torches in their hands.
In the middle of the horse team followed a horse-drawn carriage, bumping and tilting on the dirt road.
They were too far away and Xia Zhaoyi couldn't see clearly, but through their outlines, it was vaguely possible to tell that these people were all burly men, and they all had swords.
They stopped at this time, and a few of them looked around. One person rode out of the carriage and lowered his head to ask for instructions.
Xia Zhaoyi clenched her hand holding the pine tree slightly, staring closely at the carriage.
And as if in response to what she was thinking, the man rode away and said something to the people in front of him. Then, they all turned around and walked towards the direction of the village.
Xia Zhaoyi pursed her lips, thought for a while, and turned to leave.
………………
"Plop!"
A Changle spear thrust into the turbid water.
When I pulled it out again, there was nothing.
The two men next to him imitated his example and thrust their whittled spears into the water, but found nothing.
After several attempts, nothing was caught.
Zhi Changle was unwilling to give up, licked his lower lips, stared at the water tightly, raised his spear, and wanted to stab again.
At this time, a small figure nimbly jumped down from the high slope over there. After stepping over several mud pits, he rolled up his sleeves and lay down by the river to explore into the water.
Zhi Changle and the two men held their spears and looked at her.
His white and tender little arms moved in the water a few times, and he quickly caught a big fish.
The fish looked a little stupid, as if it was drunk, and did not move much. It was held obediently by her little hands.
"Here." Xia Zhaoyi handed it over with difficulty. After all, her hands were really small and it was difficult to grasp it.
Zhi Changle hurriedly picked it up and threw it into the fish basket at his feet.
Xia Zhaoyi looked up at the men in front of her who were much taller than her, and said, "We are going to have some trouble. Should we move after we are full, or should we fill our stomachs after we move?"
Several people looked at each other and then looked at Xia Zhaoyi: "What's the trouble?"
