The children of the Ren family are all good hunters and warriors. Of course Jing Cheng knew this, so he faltered: "This..."
Baozhong turned to his uncle and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean?"
The old uncle nodded: "What you said makes sense. I'm afraid it's more of a beating than a cleanup."
Baozhong said again: "I have discussed with Xi Zhong, and we will go to work outside the city tomorrow. In any case, we must have some food first. If you are still willing to listen to me, then go with me. If you are not willing, go with me."
, I won’t force it. But I want to remind you that Abbot Zhao is beating us now, and when he loses his patience, it will be bad. You must think carefully about what Li Zuru asks you to do, and don’t rush ahead foolishly."
Jingcheng said unwillingly: "Lü Ze, you are Lu Ze from my Ren family. How can you work for the Han people? If you tell me, will our Ren family have the dignity to stand on it? How about I and Xizhong lead people to do it?"
Live, just listen to the news at home!"
Baozhong shook his head: "Why is Lu Ze not Lu Ze? To put it bluntly, we are all prisoners of the Ming Dynasty now, but they don't want to tie us up for the time being. I came up with the idea, so I can lead the team.
If we encounter any difficulties, I can make the decision."
After the discussion was completed, a few people went down to encourage them separately. The next day, more than 60 strong men from the Ren family were gathered together and reported to the construction site of the transitional housing outside the city.
It was the first time in the past three years that Dangxiang people came to sign up for work. The Taoist priests who supervised the work immediately hesitated, but they had no reason to object, so they arranged for Baozhong and others to work.
Report to White Horse Courtyard.
Not long after, the person who sent the report came back with the abbot's reply: "Treat everyone equally."
"What do you mean? Same as Han people?"
"I met Abbot Zhao. The abbot said it himself, everyone is treated equally. Those who work honestly will be given food. Those who cheat and cheat will be deprived of food. Those who pick fights and cause trouble will be beaten with sticks."
Although the more than 60 strong men from Renjia only accounted for one-eighth of the construction site, they attracted the attention of most of the supervisors, who were always wary of these former party "nobles" having other ideas.
In addition to the Taoist priests who supervised the work, there were more Han laborers who came over with all kinds of curious eyes, which made the party members feel uncomfortable.
Baozhong scolded his compatriots around him in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to others. They can watch what they want to see. If you look at them for a long time, they won't watch. Let's do our own work and get rid of today's rations first. Let me tell you,
The adults and children in the family are all waiting for dinner. Now that they are here, put aside your status and immerse yourself in work!"
The Dangxiang people in Hongyuan had never done any house repair work in the past, so they had to start with the simplest task - digging soil. The Taoist priests who supervised the work handed out iron hammers and dug the soil in the designated area.
The two bamboo dustpans were picked up with a pole and sent to the unified screening yard, where someone used a stone hammer to smash them.
When it was time to serve dinner, the peasants all lined up outside the greenhouse. Baozhong and his party members also crowded over. The Taoist priest pointed to the back of the team and said: "Line up, come one by one."
Each person had a bowl of porridge and a piece of dough. Baozhong and Xi Zhong took a bamboo tube with them. Each of them took out half a bowl of rice porridge and broke off two pieces of dough. Xi Zhong took it with him and Sa Ya Zi ran to the city.
The Taoist supervisor stopped him and asked, "What are you doing?"
Xizhong said angrily: "Why stop me? I want to go home!"
The Taoist priest asked, "Don't you want to do it anymore? Can't bear the hardship? Okay, if you leave, don't come back."
Xi Zhong glared and said, "You bastard, you can't bear this hardship! I'll go home and deliver food, and I'll come back and continue working after I'm done!"
Hearing this, the Taoist priest let Xi Zhong go back and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? Each person can bring two pieces of dough home at night. Is this a meal shortfall?"
Hearing that they could bring extra food back at night, some party members who wanted to follow the example of Xi Zhong stopped. Their family was not like Lu Ze's family, where the sick old woman was lying on the bed, and the family could survive by eating a late meal.
After a day of heavy physical work, everyone was so tired that their backs and legs ached, but the two doughs each held in their hands were real food that could fill their stomachs. With this harvest, it is better than wandering around every day. It’s too much. At least everyone knows where tomorrow’s food will be.
After returning home, Baozhong used hot water to turn a piece of dough into batter and carefully fed the batter into his mother's mouth. He ate a bowl of rice porridge at noon and another bowl of batter at night. His mother spoke with more strength than yesterday. , my spirit also seemed much better.
That night, Baozhong, who was leading people to repair the transitional housing in Baima Courtyard, was called over by Li Yansi.
"Baozhong, are you still a Dangxiang member? Are you still a member of the Tuoba tribe? Do you think I am an ancestor?" Li Yansi was furious and pointed at Baozhong, his lips trembling.
Baozhong lowered his head and said nothing.
"In the past three years, we have come step by step to where we are now. It has not been easy. If we keep persisting, we will soon be successful! But you are here, and you have done this at the critical moment. You have ruined our three years of hard work!"
Baozhong raised his head, expressionless, and asked: "Soon? When will it be soon?"
"How can we tell clearly? In short, we have a good grasp of it, three to five months!"
"Zuru, my mother is sick and has been lying at home for three days. There is really no food at home. How can I survive three to five months? I can't survive even one day. Not only my family, but also the children of Jingcheng's family are hungry. I’m crying, my uncle’s family is the same, my aunt fainted on the walkway yesterday. What can I do? Baimayuan said that the relief food will not be distributed this month, how can I survive?”
Facing a series of questions, Li Yansi was unable to answer. He held his breath in his stomach and his face turned red.
The Dangxiang people who stayed in Hongyuan were mainly the Tuoba clan, the Mi Qin clan and the Pochao clan. The relief grain distributed by Baimayuan was directly allocated to the three major clans, Li Yansi, Zehun and Qiangxiong.
The Mi Qin and Pochao clans have few people, and the surnames in the clan are relatively simple. Li Yansi can't control how to divide the food, but as the ancestor of the Li clan, he will definitely favor the Li clan among the Tuoba clan. As for the Tuoba clan, The Renjia family, without the Zang family, the Po Chou family and other small families, naturally have a difficult life.
Zehun and Qiangxiong, who were next to him, both came up to try to calm down the situation. One said to ask the Great Zuru to calm down. He also had his own reasons for being loyal. The other said that to keep the loyalty, you must be considerate of Li Zuru. He was also considering the entire Hongyuan party members.
But after all, for Baozhong, it is all nonsense. Of course I know your "big plan", and I also hope that the "big plan" can come true, but with so many people in our Ren family, the biggest problem we face is tomorrow's breakfast Where!
At the end of the sentence, Li Yan thought: "We are going to see Abbot Zhao tomorrow and try our best to urge him to distribute the food as agreed. To be loyal, you must not be confused at this time."
Baozhong said: "Zuru, I know you are doing good for the Dangxiang people, but I can only say that whenever I can feed the two hundred mouths of my family, I will stop working for the Han people."
