A wailing sound was like a signal, and the sound of crying was loud in an instant.
Many people have been working all night, and their bodies are covered in darkness. However, they have put in so much and are exhausted, but at this time they are completely collapsed.
Many women and children were covering their mouths and crying. This fire had burned away all their hopes!
Zhao Ming stood in the crowd, also in darkness, and those who didn't know thought he had just fallen into the mine.
However, even though he was determined, he was a little unable to hold back at the moment.
This fire burned nearly 400 shi of food, leaving only over 50 shi...
That is to say, there are still 6,000 kilograms of grain left, which they managed to save after working desperately all night.
Six thousand kilograms of grain may seem like a lot, but how long can Fengjiazhuang last with so many mouths?
No matter how much you save, one month! It can only last for one month!
This is still about tightening your belt and counting the days.
It is true that many villagers have nothing to do and can reduce their rations, but those who care for the homes and cook every day must ensure that they eat and drink no matter what.
Especially the guards. If the guards don't have enough to eat, how can they defend themselves against foreign enemies?
This does not include the livestock in the village, especially the horses.
There are more than 80 horses in Zhuangzi, and these horses eat more food every day than a farmer.
In this calculation, one month is too much. Even if some chickens, ducks and pigs are slaughtered, it will only be one month at most.
Within a month, everyone in Zhuangzi became refugees.
How to prevent everyone from collapse, how to prevent everyone from crying.
"This...this is fate!~ Even God is going to kill our Feng family..."
Master Feng came here with the help of his maid. Looking at the scene in front of him, his already old face seemed to be even more senile.
As he spoke, he staggered, his chest heaved violently, and a look of pain suddenly appeared on his face, followed by a mouthful of old blood spurting out.
"master!"
"master!"
Seeing this scene, the already chaotic crowd became even more chaotic.
Zhao Ming was also a little anxious. He had not yet fully mastered the entire Feng Family Village. If the old man died, it would be a lot of trouble to suppress everyone.
"A good son-in-law~"
As Zhao Ming approached, Mr. Feng, supported by several people, raised his spirits and grabbed Zhao Ming's arm.
"Father-in-law, please tell me!" Zhao Ming said hurriedly.
"Xian...xian son-in-law...that thing you mentioned...we're afraid we won't be able to do it! We...our Fengjiazhuang can't wait any longer!"
As he said this, Mr. Feng felt anxious and angry. Fortunately, someone beside him hurriedly helped him and he calmed down.
Zhao Ming also had a serious look on his face, and he was cursing in his heart.
His plan was completely burned by this fire, and one can imagine the anger in his heart.
It was supposed to be a blueprint for building high walls, hoarding supplies, and slowly working on it, but it was completely destroyed by the fire.
"Wonderful son-in-law! I... I know, do you have any other ideas? Tell me... is there any way to save Fengjiazhuang!"
Master Feng grabbed Zhao Ming's arm tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Fengjiazhuang has been run by his old Feng family for so many years. If it were destroyed in his hands, he would not know how to face his ancestors.
And once Zhuangzi runs out of food, it will definitely be an unimaginable disaster. At that time, the master will not be the master, and the servant will not be the servant! There is only the ugliest side of human nature.
But what will happen if Lao Wu can't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands?
I'm afraid that the roots of Lao Feng's family will be broken!
Zhao Ming took a deep breath and did not rush to answer Mr. Feng. Instead, he looked up at the sky where black smoke was still floating, feeling a little desperate.
Damn it!
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law does have another idea..."
"What?"
"Steal the army rations!"
Master Feng was stunned when he heard this, and he looked at Zhao Ming seriously.
Maybe it was because Zhao Ming had a false shot last time. He couldn't believe it, but looking carefully at Zhao Ming's eyes, he couldn't see any dodge.
After a long silence, Mr. Feng took a deep breath, as if he had relieved all his burdens.
"I... I agree... My dear son-in-law, if you want to do it, just do it! Sure enough... if you don't take care of yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth!
Damn it, you want us to die! Then simply, fight to the death, just go ahead and do it..."
With that said, Master Feng stood up straight with the help of several people, and he seemed to be energetic again. He took a breath, looked around, and shouted loudly,
"From now on, I will obey my virtuous son-in-law Zhao Ming. His words are my words! Who dares to disobey me and not break his legs!"
in addition! Whatever Zhao Ming wants recently, we will provide it with all our strength, without any mistakes! "
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Feng passed out completely as if all his strength had been drained away.
There was chaos at the scene.
At this time, everyone couldn't care less about their sadness. Some doctors from Zhuangzi came over to check the situation, and some people started to clean up the mess.
The scene became busy again.
After a while, I learned that the old man had been feeling unwell in many places, and now he was feeling anxious and anxious. He was afraid that he would not have much time left.
Zhao Ming couldn't help but feel melancholy.
Fuck him!
Zhao Ming couldn't help but cursed in his heart.
I wanted to run a good business in Fengjiazhuang, since there are so many supplies.
Zhao Ming had thought everything through and was taking steps step by step.
He had originally thought about robbing military rations when Mr. Feng raised the matter.
But it was just a fleeting crazy thought, just like sometimes people always imagine what would happen if they jumped from a building.
But right now, this is just an almost crazy idea deep in my heart, and now I want to put it into action.
But even if you grab military rations, you have to wait at least a month before you can reluctantly take action.
After all, it takes time to explore the terrain and figure out the transportation patterns and habits of the logistics escort team.
The most important thing is training time.
Since we are grabbing military rations, we can only fight quickly. Kill people first and then quickly grab food and supplies. From the start to the evacuation, it cannot take more than a quarter of an hour.
Moreover, it is necessary to choose a dark and windy night, otherwise the bright moon hangs high and the traces of the hauling wheels are easily visible.
Also soon, Lao Chang on the other side found out the whole story.
"Mr. Zhao, he is the knife bandit who was hiding undetected before! These damn guys are really evil. I just came over from the courtyard wall.
Fortunately, you told us last night that no matter what happens here, we can't come over, otherwise we will really let these idiots succeed. "
As Lao Chang said this, he couldn't help but feel fear on his face.
This person was up all night last night, and he was also up all night over there.
After a full hour or two of stalemate with the knife bandits, these wolf-like guys gradually dispersed.
Hearing this, Zhao Ming's face darkened.
This group of knife bandits will always be a hidden danger if they are not dealt with. Once he takes action at the time, it will be difficult not to guarantee that the knife bandits will not take action.
"Master Zhao, why don't we just give all the victims to..."
"Kill? More than a hundred people, right? Don't think about killing them all day long."
Zhao Ming shook his head, and Chang Wei was dumbfounded after hearing this.
I didn't even think about killing people, just expelling them.
"Then how about driving all these victims out?"
"Useful? How can you guarantee that there is something wrong with this group of victims? The lesson Liu Er's incident brought is not serious enough?" Zhao Ming shook his head.
"Then... what should we do? This always makes these people make trouble inside, and this is not the answer..." Chang Wei felt a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? We don't have the energy to deal with them now.
First expand the escort team. Then you go and select people. Remember, select two groups of people. "
"Two groups of people?"
"Yes, I will choose a group of people who are honest and obedient. Whether they are strong or not is another matter. They must be honest and obedient.
The other batch was specially selected for me from the victims, and I would pick it out while they were eating. "
Chang Wei really couldn't handle Zhao Ming's words.
"Zhao...Master Zhao...Why do we have to pick time when selecting people? Now we have to call them out and stand up. Can't we just pick them one by one?"
“If you don’t understand, just stop talking!”
Zhao Ming choked Lao Chang with just one sentence.
"When they are eating, look at who eats quickly and eagerly, and then stares at others after eating. Then this kind of person is what I want.
I don’t want too many people in this group. Pick thirty people for me. "
Hearing this, Chang Wei nodded, vaguely seeming to understand something.
It seems that Mr. Zhao is choosing a future partner?
——
The next morning, the gate of Fengjiazhuang was opened early in the morning, and seventy young horses on horseback were pouring out.
It can be seen that some people are very familiar with each other, while others are stumbling on the horse, as if they are about to fall off the next moment.
Zhao Ming took the lead but ignored these and kept moving forward at a neither fast nor slow speed.
The outside is still the same, but due to the drought, it is now covered with dust all day long. When the wind blows, it feels like reaching a high loess slope, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
