This is a wild pier outside Luoye City. In winter, all the grass is withered and snow covers thousands of miles. The cold wind blows, and the wind is like a knife on the face.
Cheng Dalei was wrapped in a big cloak and leaning against a big tree. The ghost-faced ax was beside him, within easy reach. The handle of the ax was colder than ice when he held it. Cheng Dalei couldn't help but think, in this place
Times, how do people fight in such weather?
As soon as the ship docked, Cheng Dalei dispersed the people on the ship and formed a warning circle with the grain ship as the center. This way, if anyone approached, Cheng Dalei would be alert immediately.
There was the sound of dry grass being crushed under the soles of shoes behind him. Cheng Dalei subconsciously held the axe, turned around and saw that the person approaching was Su Ying.
"It's so cold, why did you come out?" Cheng Dalei asked.
"I'll come over to stay with you." Su Ying whispered, squatting down next to Cheng Dalei, and sighed in a low voice: "It's so cold!"
"Um."
"Aren't you cold?"
Cheng Dalei thought to himself: Aren't you talking nonsense?
Suddenly he felt his left hand being grasped by Su Ying's little hand, lowered his head and breathed: "Is it still cold?"
"Actually...your hands are colder."
"..." Su Ying.
"You'd better go back and stay here to disrupt our military morale."
Some people are already quietly looking over here, wondering what it would be like for the leader of his own village to have sex with a woman instead of suffering the cold with his brothers.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves, and Cheng Dalei immediately became energetic and tightened his grip on the axe.
Whether it is an enemy or a friend, as the saying goes, when friends come, there is good wine; when enemies come, there is an axe.
"Master, the military advisor is back!" Someone passed the news.
The sound of horse hooves was heard, powdery snow was seen, and a large group of people rushed into the jungle. I don't know how many people came. It looked like hundreds of people, but the real number may be more.
Gao Feihu, Xiong Daxiong Er... the leaders of each village in Qingniu Mountain all arrived at almost the same time. After not seeing each other for a month, each of them had lost weight. When they saw Cheng Dalei, their eyes flashed green.
"The boss!"
Everyone knelt down almost at the same time, shouting loudly, and the voices became one, and the snow on the branches seemed to be shaken.
"Stop shouting, stop shouting, and call me some more people." Cheng Dalei stamped his feet and jumped.
Gao Feihu walked to Cheng Dalei and knelt down again: "Master Cheng, I will never thank you for your kindness. From now on, my life will belong to Master Cheng."
"Let's not mention this for now." Cheng Dalei helped Gao Feihu up and suddenly noticed the bandage on his arm: "Why, you are injured."
"Oh, forget it. Yu Qiuran was leaving with a group of people. When I argued with them, I scratched my arm."
Cheng Dalei walked for a month. Although the journey was smooth, he also encountered several dangers. As for the situation in Qingniu Mountain, Cheng Dalei did not know.
The food in the mountain was controlled by Liu Bei. He was not optimistic about this matter from the beginning. Of course, he was not optimistic about anything. The remaining food in the village was left to him, and he finally managed to survive for more than twenty days.
But later, the food that everyone could eat every day became less and less, and people's hearts began to become chaotic.
Many people are not very hopeful that Cheng Dalei can bring food back. Some people have their families with them and can't leave even if they want to, while some bandits are alone and feel there is no need to die with everyone, so they sneak away quietly
gone.
The incident happened three days ago. Yu Qiuran gathered one or two hundred people to evacuate. Before leaving, he wanted to snatch away the remaining food. The two sides fought, and some people died on both sides. In the end, Yu Qiuran knew it.
Undefeated, he took advantage of the chaos and burned the remaining food, and escaped with a group of people.
Gao Feihu suffered some injuries in the battle, but it was not serious. The key is that Yu Qiuran's rebellion deeply hurt the heart of this rough man. It is difficult to paint the skin of a tiger, and he never knows the face but not the heart.
If you think too much, Qiu Ran will betray him.
The granary was burned, and there was a complete lack of food in the mountains. Everyone ate everything they could eat. If Cheng Dalei never came back, it would not be impossible for people to exchange their children for food.
"Don't be too sad. If you don't report that the time has not come, there will be a chance." Cheng Dalei comforted Gao Feihu.
"I'm so hungry that I don't have time to feel sad. Mr. Cheng, how much food did you bring back?" Gao Feihu asked.
Cheng Dalei pointed out four fingers: "Four hundred thousand catties."
"What!" Gao Feihu looked at Cheng Dalei in astonishment: "Master Cheng, aren't you kidding me?"
"Do I have that much time? Two boats brought me back."
When someone nearby heard this, they immediately shouted: "Master Cheng's family has brought back 400,000 kilograms of grain."
Xu Shenji hadn't told them the specific number yet. After learning the news, a group of people let out strange screams. Some people's eyes were red and they were so excited that they shed tears.
"Don't scream, don't scream!"
Cheng Dalei shouted quickly, but he couldn't stop the madness of these people. Finally, after a long time, the crowd calmed down.
"Don't scream yet, the top priority is how to transport the food back."
"Don't worry, Mr. Cheng. Even if I carry it on my shoulders, I can transport the grain back to the mountain without letting a grain of grain fall to the ground." Gao Feihu patted his chest.
That's what he said, but this place is seventy or eighty miles away from Qingniu Mountain. It really makes Gao Feihu carry food back, unless he is like him.
"Quick, must be quick, we must transport all the food back to the village before dawn, otherwise if the news leaks, none of us will be able to handle it." Cheng Dalei said to Gao Feihu.
"Understood." Gao Feihu nodded.
This time Gao Feihu brought five hundred people and about fifty or sixty horses. He immediately sent people back to the mountain village and sent more people. The carriage was changed into a sled on the spot, and the top was piled with good rice.
They are going crazy with hunger these days. Not only do these bandits usually eat, but they have never seen such good rice. They have been hungry for several days, but everyone seems to have endless energy.
He picked up hundreds of kilograms of sacks and walked away. In the process of busy work, bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.
But Cheng Dalei couldn't laugh at this time. The entire Qingniu Mountain was full of resources, but there were only more than a hundred horses, most of which were sold to them by Cheng Dalei. Even if each horse could pull one ton, which is two thousand kilograms, it would take at least two round trips.
Let’s not say how much time it will take. It’s hard to say whether the horse can bear it.
Now, it's not long before dawn.
Cheng Dalei became cruel, and if the horse could not move, he would use people to pull him. He had to transport all the grain at once.
Anyone who can breathe in Qingniu Mountain is invited to join, and the sleds are made by cutting down the wood on the spot. If the horses are not enough, they have to be pulled by people. The old, weak, women and children, even eight-year-old children, have to carry a bag of grain on their shoulders.
Cheng Dalei, Gao Feibao, Xiao Bailang, Zhang Fei and other dozens of people on board the ship acted as security guards.
After finishing all this work in the sky, it was already dawn, and a group of people left the seaside in a mighty manner and headed towards Qingniu Mountain.
