Zhou Che looked at Li Hui in astonishment, and suddenly said loudly: "This is it, this is it. When you said this, it reminded me. I was also wondering, we had several brothers guarding the south gate that night, why?
It was conquered at once. Several brothers were killed. Now that I think about it, there must be an internal response. They reached the top of the city from inside the city and launched an attack, killing our brothers and opening the city gate. This explanation is the most reasonable. Li County
Cheng, your judgment is correct. It seems that we need to search the city and dig out these bastards. Otherwise, once we take action, all the lake bandits will know about it."
Li Hui breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "If Vice Admiral Zhou said this, it is certain. However, I was just wondering if this matter could not be made public for the time being. Perhaps this matter can be taken advantage of."
Zhou Che asked in surprise: "What do you mean by this?"
Li Hui whispered: "Now that we know that they are in the county, they are not scary. If they want to pass the news out, we will use them to pass the news out. This will make them do what we want.
.Give them a trick."
Zhou Che suddenly realized it, clasped his hands and smiled and said: "Brilliant plan, brilliant plan. Li County Cheng's idea is brilliant, but I didn't expect this. What a man who just used his plan and took the initiative to play with them without knowing it."
Li Hui said with a smile: "If Deputy Commander Zhou agrees, then let's not alarm the enemy for the time being. When we come up with an attack strategy, we will find a way to find out who is inside the city. At that time, we can let them release the news for us."
Zhou Che nodded and said, "That's it."
Li Hui cupped his hands and said, "It's settled now. I won't bother you anymore. Please don't make any announcement about this matter, so as not to let the news leak out. I'll take my leave."
Zhou Che cupped his hands and said, "Of course I understand. I will escort Li County Cheng to avoid being surrounded by them again."
Li Hui laughed loudly and thanked him repeatedly.
The two walked across the square. Li Hui looked at the simple shelters such as straw huts and tents on the square, and couldn't help but ask: "Deputy Commander Zhou, why can't these people live in the house? As far as I know, the city
There are still hollow houses.”
Zhou Che said: "The commander-in-chief has an order that the refugees going south are not allowed to stay in the homes of local people, otherwise they will not be given rice and porridge."
"Why is that?" Li Hui said.
"God knows." Zhou Che sneered.
Li Hui was speechless. He looked at the refugees huddled in the grass huts, and felt sad for them. At this moment, there was a banging sound from the north side of the square. In an instant, all the refugees came out of the grass huts.
They rushed out of the shed and headed straight to the north side of the square. Some elderly people fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time, but they crawled to the north regardless of the pain.
Li Huizheng was surprised when Zhou Che said in a deep voice beside him: "It's time to put the porridge on. It's the first porridge today."
Only then did Li Hui realize that the square on the north side was steaming with steam and filled with smoke. Crowds were rushing there, like pigs and dogs fighting for food. Li Hui thought of A-Zhu's words, saying that she couldn't get any charity at all.
She couldn't get the porridge to eat, even if it was just porridge that was so thin that a human figure could be reflected in it. Isn't this the current situation?
"It's snowing, hey." Zhou Che beside him sighed softly and said, "Li County Cheng, I won't send you off. It's snowing. You should go back quickly."
Li Hui hurriedly bowed and thanked him. Zhou Che waved and left.
Snow has indeed fallen in the sky, falling down one by one, dancing in the wind. Just like catkins blowing up due to the wind. In this weather, it has snowed again, making the lives of the refugees even more difficult to bear.
Li Huizheng was deep in thought, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the small building at the entrance of Dongjie Street. Wang Guangzu was walking out of the door in a swaggering manner.
Standing in the door behind him were two young girls wearing ill-fitting silk and satin clothes, with slim figures and childish faces. They were holding on to the door frame and staring blankly at the falling snowflakes outside.
…
The snow was really heavy. It began to fall at noon, and soon turned into heavy snow like goose feathers, covering the whole world.
After all, it is already the end of the twelfth lunar month. According to folk wisdom, it is already the cold winter of March 9th. Around the Spring Festival, it is the time when snow falls intensively. So this heavy snow is not surprising.
However, for the people and refugees in Juchao County, this heavy snowfall is a further blow to the situation. Many people will not be able to survive this winter.
By nightfall, the snow on the ground was already half a foot thick. Several damaged roofs in the county government office collapsed, making the situation very embarrassing. In order to prevent accidents, Li Hui led everyone to check all the county government offices.
Many hidden dangers were found in the house. Especially the building where people sleep at night, which must not be careless. It was finally determined that the lobby in the front and the main room in the back are safe. The doors and windows in the lobby have been repaired, and straw curtains have been hung to block the wind.
, Jiang Sheng and the others made a floor bunk in the lobby at night. The east and west wing rooms in the back hall were safe, and the west wing room was large enough for Changchun to sleep.
However, the side room in the back yard that was originally arranged for Ah Zhu to sleep could not be used for sleeping. The roof was piled with snow. During the inspection, you could even hear the creaking sound of the wooden beams, which may collapse at any time. If it collapses in the middle of the night
, Azhu must be buried alive.
Therefore, Ah Zhu can only continue to sleep in Li Hui's room tonight.
After learning the news, A-Zhu quickly spread the quilt he had sewn in the corner. Li Hui felt that it was a little inconvenient after all, so he asked A-Zhu to pull a curtain in the corner to act as a partition to avoid having to sleep in the middle of the night.
Waking up at night and all that causes embarrassment.
After dinner, Li Huiku sat meditating under the lamp, and Ah Zhu sat in the corner, mending a piece of clothing attentively. Snowflakes were falling outside, and everything was silent. Occasionally, there was the sound of branches breaking. On a night like this, burning
The room with the charcoal fire is very warm.
Ah Zhu finished sewing a piece of clothing, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He looked up at Li Hui, who was frowning and thinking under the lamp, hesitating for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Young Master...there is something I almost forgot to report to you."
Li Hui was concentrating on how to wipe out Feng Heizi and his group of lake bandits. His thoughts were interrupted by Azhu's voice, and he seemed a little unhappy.
"What's the matter?" Li Hui frowned and turned around and asked.
Azhu said in a panic: "In the afternoon...when I went to the woodshed in the backyard to move firewood, I found a hole in the ground."
Li Hui said in surprise: "Cave? What kind of cave?"
Azhu said: "It's...a hole in the ground. There is a bluestone slab under the firewood in the firewood shed. I wanted to move the slab away, but there was a hole under the slab."
"What's inside?" Li Hui asked.
"I don't know, I...I didn't dare to go down, it was so dark. Later I came back to cook and forgot about it. I just remembered it. Damn it, my memory is actually bad." Azhu muttered.
Li Hui thought for a moment and said, "It's probably a cellar. It's very ordinary."
Ah Zhu made a sound, nodded and said: "Maybe, I wonder if there is some food stored there. I don't know what is in the cellar of the county government."
Li Hui originally didn't care about finding any cellars, but after hearing A-Zhu's muttering, he immediately became interested. If there was food in the cellar, wouldn't that be a great thing? At this time, a bowl of rice would make him alive.
People and food are so important.
"Come on, take me to have a look." Li Hui stood up and said.
Azhu said in astonishment: "Now? It's so late, it's snowing outside."
Li Huidao: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it in the back garden? It's not far. Put on more clothes, put on a lantern, and call Dachun and the others."
Azhu had no choice but to agree, took a lantern, lit it, and followed Li Hui out of the room. The sound of spring and strong snoring could be heard in the west wing.
Li Hui wanted to wake them up, but when he heard that they were sleeping soundly, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, let them sleep."
Azhu nodded, and the two opened the back door. A burst of cold air hit them, making their mouth and nose numb from the cold, and the lantern was swayed by the cold wind.
"It's a little cold." Li Hui whispered.
"Young Master, put on your hat." Azhu reminded.
Li Hui then remembered that Ah Zhu had made a hat for himself. He took it out of his arms and put it on his head. It was furry and warm, and it was indeed much more comfortable. Looking back at Ah Zhu, he saw that she also had a hat, which was made of scraps from her brocade robe.
It looked so cute when worn on my head, I laughed out loud.
"The hands are very skillful." Li Hui praised.
The two of them walked back to the back garden one after another. Snow was still falling in the sky, and the surroundings were not too dark. Reflected by the white snow, the surroundings were dim and white. The road leading to the back garden had been plowed, and there was no grass.
It is cut off and although it is covered with snow, it is not difficult to walk.
After entering the back garden, Li Hui immediately regretted it. The branches of the trees in the back garden were wildly outstretched, and they looked like a group of monsters and ghosts watching. The ground was even more difficult to walk on, with snow covering the grass. If you stepped on it, you would be injured.
Tangled, as if someone reached out from the ground to grab the foot and pull it. This scene can't help but remind people of the fact that the county government is haunted and many people died inside.
However, materialists are fearless, so Li Hui walked forward. He thought: Ah Zhu is very brave, and he dares to come to the woodshed in the back garden to get firewood. This place must be very scary in broad daylight.
After settling down, all the trees in the back garden had to be cut down, and all the weeds burned, so they had to be renovated. It looked like a mass grave, and I felt uncomfortable living there.
