Chapter 148 The hearts of people who collapse before encountering a thief

To say "there are people in front" is almost the same as "there are thieves", which is also expected. Zhu Da lowered his voice and asked, "How many people, how are the equipment?"

"There are at least more than forty people, no horses, and I don't just wait for us, so I gathered on the side of the road to make a fire." Zhou Qingyun replied.

When discussing these, the two people's expressions were very ordinary. They were not worried or afraid. The reason why they lowered their voices was because they were worried that they would cause panic in the team.

After hearing Zhou Qingyun's description, Zhu Da nodded. Yuan Biao taught them how to observe the array and observe and estimate the number of people on the other side.

"Did the person who rode on the horse deliver a letter to them?"

"It shouldn't be. I rushed to the front. I saw him twice from afar. He should see me too. Every time I could see him, he would slow down a little, I'm afraid something was wrong."

"Everyone comes out, go forward!"

After the two of them briefly answered a few words, they continued to move forward. This time, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun did not separate one to investigate, and they were both stayed in the team. The news did not tell Li He. Li He only looked back and did not come to ask, but just urged the team to move forward.

After walking forward for a while, the sunset was shining. Although it was very bright, everyone knew it was getting dark. Several handlebars were shouting and asking if they should find a place to camp.

At this moment, most people in the team could see someone standing up and running wildly in the distance in a certain field on the roadside. The so-called "farm fields" are those undestroyed fields, but there are no more crops that can be harvested, but it is very convenient to use them for Tibetans.

"Two young masters, this is probably the bandits watching the wind!" The handlebar-style that took the lead shouted hurriedly.

The four big cars walked on the official road in a single line, and the starting handheld was very experienced, so when walking in front, the entire fleet was actually dispatched and controlled by this handheld.

Neither Zhu Da nor Zhou Qingyun moved, and Zhou Qingyun said in a muffled voice: "Calling the distance is the dozens of people I saw."

Li He turned his head and looked over, and Zhu Da shouted, "Just lay down in place and form a circle according to the method I taught you. Everyone should not worry, to protect your lives."

After he finished speaking, the nervous and anxious team did not respond for a while, but Li He hurriedly urged him, and then he began to get busy.

"Why don't you catch up with someone riding a horse and carrying a knife?"

"I'm afraid he's a good guy. If there's something going on later, they will run away first, and we'll be done."

Someone in the team was already muttering like this. Although the voice was not loud, he did not avoid Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun. Li He looked very bad and wanted to come forward to scold him. Zhu Da smiled and waved his hand and signaled that there was no need. He had a smile on his face, so relaxed and freehand style that he calmed the team a lot.

Although I had practiced more than a dozen times on the road, I was still busy and the handlebars were slightly better. The twenty young laborers were really ugly, and even fell down with their own feet. When everyone was busy, they kept looking at the direction where people were hiding their escape.

Finally, the big cart was put into a frame, and everyone went in, with big carts and piles of goods as a cover, so they were barely considered to be in the closed space, so everyone's minds were somewhat calmer.

But at this time, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were still watching them immediately, including Li He. Could it be that these two young masters were about to ride away now?

"You are wandering alone and two horses, I'm here to suppress the team!" Zhu Da said with a smile, turning over and dismounting, taking a bow, and dozens of arrows were placed on the side of the cart, and a Park knife and a Yanfeng sword were also taken down.

Zhou Qingyun didn't argue with Zhu Da, but just nodded there, hung the reins of Zhu Da's mount on his horse, and headed towards the distance, while Zhu Da turned over and entered the box surrounded by a large cart.

When everyone saw Zhu Da come in and join everyone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. There was also a handlebar and asked in a muffled voice: "Was that master going to inform me?"

Zhu Da did not answer this question, but only shouted there: "It may not be a thief. If the thief comes, you just need to use the wooden gun in your hand to stab it out. Look at the wooden gun in your hand that is more than ten feet long. The thief cannot reach you. Think about it carefully, is there such a long pole there?"

The hired workers and handlebars thought about it and immediately burst into laughter. There were many mountains on the ground in Datong. The poles for making wooden guns were all made of trees on the mountain and then sold to the towns. The whole process required manpower and financial resources. Who would ordinary people use such poles? Apart from the residents living by the mountain, how could it be easy to obtain? The whole thing is flat, and the Mongolian horse team has completely destroyed it. The thieves probably have nowhere to find such a long pole. Thinking through the whole story, the hired workers and handlebars holding wooden guns were immediately confident.

"It is your blessing to escape into the city. You don't know what it is like outside. The Tartars ruined everything. Those who did not escape into the city had nothing to eat. There were all human flesh. If you fell into the hands of the thief, you might be cut and eaten one by one. You will not die for a while. It would be really miserable to watch your own meat be cooked!" Zhu Da spoke vividly.

The invasion of the Mongolian horse team and the bloodbath of the government army did cause great disasters, but the situation was not so extreme, because the Mongolians and the government army did not do so thoroughly. If they really wanted to live, they would not starve to death by checking the ruins and cleaning up undestroyed crops, or even doing some side jobs of fishing and hunting, they would not starve to death. Life would be extremely difficult, but they could still hold on. On the contrary, those who entered the city would have trouble. If there were no relatives and friends to join and there was no porridge factory to open a porridge factory to provide relief in the city, they would really starve to death.

Although the outside was destroyed, fewer people survived. After sharing this, the pressure of survival is not so severe.

When Zhu Da first experienced these, he felt like hell, but now he calmed down and thought about it. Compared to the disasters that his parents, adopted father, master and villagers and elders remembered, some of them had experienced them personally, and some were experienced by their elders. Earthquakes, droughts, and Mongolian army invasions. Everyone was dull when they described these disasters, but Zhu Da was frightened and he heard them. That was hell.

Of course, Zhu Da was not going to tell the truth to the hired workers, but his vivid description had already scared people. This was the ability brought by the information explosion over the past twenty years, which could make things that had never been seen vividly. The hired workers' faces turned pale, and some people couldn't help but vomit, and were scolded by the people around them, and were busy burying the soil.

"We have to fight with them, rather than eat their meat than be eaten, and fight with them." Li He shouted encouragement, and the hired workers subconsciously clenched the wooden guns in their hands.

But there were also a few people looking around, and anyone could see that they were unsure and everyone could guess what they were going to do. Most of them wanted to run away.

"The thieves outside have eaten human flesh. Are you still running there and running out and being eaten?" Li He shouted loudly.

The roar broke the confidence of several hired workers. Someone threw the wooden gun on the ground and squatted on the ground and cried, "How could you stay in the city? How could you encounter such a thing?"

People are already fluctuating, some people are so discouraged, and others are not stable. Look at me and I look at you, Li He's face turned black and he has already grabbed the steel knife at his hand. Zhu Da was calm. The situation in front of him was expected. It is good that these ordinary people have not experienced the life and death scenes, and it is not all collapsed now. The reason why they stopped so early was to stabilize everyone's minds and solve problems when encountering problems. Zhou Qingyun is not good at such verbal matters, so he can only do it.

Before Zhu Da could speak, a tall and thin young man in the team cursed and said, "Do you starve to death in the city? Those people don't have enough food to eat, who would pity us? These days, everyone hasn't gone out to find a job, who cares about us? We are not women, we haven't even sold out to death. I'm so frustrated and starved to death in the city. I'm willing to have enough food to eat!"

This person's words are also true. The atmosphere of the commotion just now became much quieter. Zhu Da recognized that the person who spoke was Zhang Jinbei, who had been his own. Since recruiting employees, he had mixed up with Zhang Jinbei. They were all helpless refugees outside the city and locals. They could not see anything wrong at all.

It was not a lie or nonsense to say this at this time. Of course, many people listened to it. They were willing to be hired and were willing to leave the city at that time. They were prepared in their hearts, but the impact of the thieves attacked just now was too great, which made everyone unable to calm down. Now they have been dragged back a little.

Zhu Da smiled and raised his hand and said, "You are afraid of a bird. I'm here to accompany you. My life is much more valuable than you. I'll stay. Why are you still panic?"

The words are not nice, but they are the truth, which makes the hired workers feel more at ease, and even the handlebars are all accustomed to the point of "You are not afraid of a wealth like this, what are you afraid of in this poor life?"

"I tell you that you will have to do such a business in the future. As long as you are willing to follow me, Zhu Da, you will have enough food and clothing. After doing it for a long time, you can build a house and get married if you don't work with me. If you don't do it with me, you will still go back and work hard, and you will still beg for food and beg for a beggar and starve to death!"

"The young man is willing to follow the master. If you want to die, you should be more happy. Don't starve to death in the corner of the street and the corner of the house!" Zhang Jinbei was the first to come out to respond. Someone took the lead, and the emotions of others became much higher.

Zhu Da, who was standing on a large cart of goods, nodded with a smile and said loudly: "I, Zhu Da, must be worthy of everyone, wait for the delicious food and the spicy food!"

"The thief is here, the thief is here!" Someone has been staring outside. Under the sunset, you can see dozens of people running towards this side.
