The grain was moved out of the cave and carried on an oxcart all the way to the city gate.
This job is not easy.
So Song Yang asked people to carry food out.
On the other side, people have to go from outside the city to the backyard of the palace to clear a road that can allow oxcarts to pass.
But this job was not easy to do, and the path was soon blocked by a large number of collapsed ruins of houses.
The bullock cart only moved forward a hundred meters.
"At least I saved a hundred meters of effort."
Song Yang was a little helpless, but the actual situation was so difficult.
It took an entire afternoon to fill up ten bullock carts.
The oxen pulls at the front, and the people push at the back.
One ox cart can pull about 6,000 jins of grain, and ten ox carts can haul 60,000 jins.
These are four hundred stones of grain.
Mixed with wild vegetables and hunting income, it was enough for them to eat for half a month.
"Your Majesty, I see that there is still a lot of food left in the cellar."
"I estimate it is more than four thousand stones."
Returning to the cellar entrance, he sealed the iron door and blocked it with big rocks.
Yu Ming and Song Yang reported the situation inside.
"The grass-roots people have handed over grains to the village chief several times before. The grains in there...the grass-roots people think it should be five to six thousand dan."
This Minzhuang's name is Wei Sheng, and he is the deputy captain of their Minzhuang team.
The captains of the minzhuang squad are all served by guardsmen.
In addition, two smart people will be selected as vice-captains.
Every ten people will also vote for a squad leader.
In the past few days, the Minzhuang Squadron has been able to fix its organizational structure.
It is the backbone of the survivor base.
"Five or six thousand dan? That's enough to last for half a year!" Song Yang said happily.
Yu Ming thought for a while and said:
"Your Majesty, if the number of people does not increase, the five thousand of us will definitely have enough to eat before we collect the grain!"
The food reserve actually increased by more than a thousand kilograms, which was an urgent need.
Of course, there will definitely be people coming one after another later.
There are five counties below Jiangzhou Prefecture.
Maybe the survivors from the county town have already come here.
But this is not the time to think about these things right now, the first thing is to live a good life in front of you.
After the people took the food back first, Song Yang took Yu Ming and twenty Minzhuang to the edge of the lake.
"Your Majesty, I took a look just now and it seems that there are really fish!"
Yu Ming rubbed his hands, feeling a little excited.
The water outside is basically polluted, and even the fish and shrimp are almost dead.
The artificial lake in the backyard of the palace was not affected at all.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's get it!"
Song Yang was also very happy. After eating meat for several days and drinking curses for several days, he had fish to eat today.
"Okay! Please do it."
Yu Ming took off his clothes and went into the water with his young men.
This pool is actually not deep.
But everyone didn’t really have much clothes.
Many people wear just this one and don't even have a change of clothes if it gets wet.
"Help……"
"Is there anyone... help me..."
"Woooooooo..."
As soon as he took off half of his shirt, Yu Ming suddenly shivered and stopped immediately.
"Did you hear that?"
"Listen...I heard it, sir!"
"Master Yu, do you think this is a ghost crying at night?"
"Ghosts crying at night? This is not Black Heaven!"
"The city is full of dead people! The resentment is too great! Do you care whether it's dark or not? Besides, it's almost dusk now!"
If they were in the ruins outside, these people wouldn't feel any fear.
It is normal for survivors to be buried in the ruins outside.
But the backyard of the palace...
You can see far into the distance at a glance. There is flat land for a hundred meters in radius. Even the grass is almost burnt, let alone the people.
Looking around, they found no ruins where people were buried. Yu Ming and the young men were really panicked.
"What are you doing, Lao Yu!"
Song Yang, who was standing behind, saw them all stunned and whispering, so he shouted.
"There's a ghost!"
"Your Majesty! There is a ghost over there!"
Yu Ming trotted back with the young men.
"fart!"
Song Yang said angrily.
He has been a ghost before!
If there is a ghost, he won't be afraid.
The main reason is that you twenty old men are still afraid of ghosts!
Song Yang pouted and walked towards the artificial lake.
"My lord, be careful!"
Yu Ming followed behind, taking out his steel knife and being cautious.
Although the young men were afraid, the prince's safety was related to whether they could survive well, so they all followed them with their pathfinding sticks tightly in hand.
"Help me...Is there anyone...help..."
"Woooooooo..."
Approaching the lake, Song Yang also heard faint calls for help and intermittent crying.
"There are survivors!"
Song Yang walked quickly forward to the lake.
When we arrived at the lake, we listened carefully to confirm the source of the sound.
The sound came from the east side of the artificial lake.
Song Yang looked over there and saw a burned-down pavilion.
Seeing the pavilion, Song Yang immediately exclaimed:
"Holy crap! I forgot! There's an ice cellar over there!"
"Come here quickly, there should be survivors here!"
Song Yang took the lead and ran over. When Yu Ming heard that there was an ice cellar here, he also knew that someone was probably trapped in it.
Naturally, the strong men were no longer afraid. There was nothing to fear after they were sure that they were alive.
When you come to the ruins of the pavilion, you can see that the ruins of the pavilion are pressed against the entrance of an underground passage.
This is indeed the palace's ice cellar. It is very large and divided into several areas.
This ice cellar stores a large amount of ice cubes, as well as some out-of-season fruits and vegetables, as well as a lot of meat products such as bacon and sausages.
The entrance to the ice cellar is in the pavilion.
The pavilion collapsed and blocked the entrance.
"Is there anyone inside?" Song Yang called inside.
"Someone...someone...help me..."
A low cry for help came from inside, it was a woman's voice.
"dig. Clean this place up!" Song Yang immediately called to Yu Ming to save people.
In fact, without Song Yang's orders, Yu Ming had already started digging with his young men.
Since this is an ice cellar, if nothing else, there must be a lot of water.
Besides, the cellar in front has already released food, so there must be other supplies in this one.
There are not many debris in the ruins of the pavilion.
Twenty or so people were cleared out in less than half an hour.
There was another iron door blocking it, but this time it was not locked.
"Bang Dang~Bang Dang~"
The iron door had been deformed by the fire. Yu Ming used a crowbar to pry it open two or three times.
"Ohh Ohh ohh……"
The voices inside became clearer, and the survivors cried hard.
"Hey! How many people are inside? Can you come out on your own?"
Yu Ming did not go down rashly, but shouted inside.
This is the palace of a prince, and the people inside are still women. Maybe they have something to do with the prince, and it's not easy for a grown man like him to just barge in.
"I'm the only one here. My ankle is sprained and I can't get out by myself."
Yu Ming was in trouble and turned to look at Song Yang.
Song Yang touched his face and said, "I'm a close contact!"
However, neither Yu Ming nor the young men were ready to go down, and they all had troubled expressions on their faces.
"Your Majesty, if there are any of your relatives here... it's really hard for people like you to live in such a lowly position."
