章節 21: Mass Burial Mound
Mass Burial Mound is the darkest place in Nalan City.
Years of famine have turned Nalan City into a human world Purgatory, in purgatory, people die every day.
Here human life is as worthless as grass, maybe even worse than grass. People in mass graves, if they are lucky, can still be buried in the ground However, for most of the people, their bodies are discarded at will after death, attracting wild dog hyenas outside the Great Wall to devour their bodies.
White bones and broken clothes can be seen everywhere, while in the mass graves Inside, there are still a lot of sins buried.
Horse thieves will throw the people they killed here, because this is a natural safe haven, and no one will investigate the corpse here. It can be said that this is also the sin of Nalan City. The source.
The reason why Li Yuguo didn't immediately help the people is because the root of evil here has not been removed. Otherwise, if the food is given to the people, it will only be annihilated.
Hunger can turn a kind person into a devil, and he will not hesitate to give it to the people. It is human nature to snatch other people's food at all costs.
In the middle of the mass grave, the Emperor of Thieves and Jun Xue are beside Li Yuguo, and the carriage is slowly approaching in the distance. This is a very luxurious carriage. In the carriage of heaven lust,
there was a smell of aroma from the carriage, and another person came down. The person who came was Bai Linglong. She smelled the rancid smell and frowned slightly, but she still walked quickly towards Li Yuguo. Come over: "I'm here, where's my brother? "
It's right here." "Li Huguo opened the straw mat. This was a corpse that was just dug up. The corpse was very complete, and there was a twisted bone in the leg, which was evidence of a broken bone.
Seeing the twist, Bai Linglong's brain was buzzing. , She couldn't believe that the younger brother she had been thinking about was already dead.
Once upon a time, she and her brother depended on each other and came to Nalan City from a remote mountain village, trying to find a livelihood, but her brother was separated from her on the way. At that time, the refugee team encountered a group of hungry monsters, and the monsters chased and killed them. Not only that, she took the lives of many people, she held her brother's bones,
"How can this happen...how can this happen!!" Bai Linglong screamed and ran over, but accidentally fell to the ground. She held up her brother's corpse and cried like a fool.
Li Huguo squatted down and said, "Look at your brother's neck... This is the trace of a gun. A shot pierced his throat. There are no more than three people in the entire Nalan City who can do this, and one is Nalan Meng. , there is Li Yutang, and the other is a horse thief leader, but the horse thief will never bury the corpse kindly, and will inevitably abandon it in the wilderness, leaving it to fend for itself..."
"What about Nalan meng? Isn't there anything suspicious?!" Bai Linglong shouted hysterically with tears covering her face.
"If she killed him, why did the token appear in Li Yutang's hand? You are so beautiful, and sometimes beauty is a sin..." Li Yuguo said.
Bai Linglong screamed, she wanted to leave this dirty world with her brother in remorse, but she was not reconciled, she was too reconciled, she was just an ordinary woman, how could she deal with a master like Li Yutang?
"What should I do..." Bai Linglong's head hit the ground and cried.
"You help us, and I will help you too. This is a deal." Li Huguo said, and he stretched out his hand.
Bai Linglong put down her brother's corpse, she slowly got up with the help of Li Yuguo, she suddenly felt that she was very dirty, the dirty body was full of filth, she was obviously her enemy, but she served her for three years!
Three years, from the age of sixteen to nineteen, the best three years, the most beautiful three years, all of them were given to a guy who had lost his conscience...
"I'm going to kill him..." Bai Linglong was already out of control at this time.
"Calm down, you go to him now, then he will win..." Li Yuguo said,
"Don't you think it's too cheap to kill him all at once? What she did to you, don't you swallow it? What should I do ?"
"What should I do...what should I do..." Bai Linglong sobbed, unable to speak.
"Li Yutang colluded with horse thieves and squeezed goodness... As far as I know, he should have a ledger, and some lists of goods for horse thieves, and these things... can help us reveal Li Yutang's true face, let the whole Nalan The people of the city all know that Li Yutang is a dog, a dog that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. It is more appropriate to kill him than to kill him. If he dies...he may become a hero. After all, in the eyes of the whole city now, Li Yutang is a good person, a good general, he is the embodiment of kindness, and he is the messenger of justice." Li Yuguo said.
"I... I can't do it." Bai Linglong said,
"I'm just a weak woman, how can I do it?"
"No, you are strong, you are stronger than anyone else! I checked you, you used to be a The daughter of the village chief, born in a scholarly family, but in order to find your younger brother, you can even endure humiliation and burden. With this determination, you are already above everyone! If possible, I would like to find those ledgers myself. , but Li Yutang is too careful, he is wary of everyone around him, including those closest to him... He clearly has a lot of money, but he refuses to redeem you, can't you see it?" Li Yuguo said.
Bai Linglong's mood stabilized a little: "I can give it a try, but...how should I contact you?"
"Me." The Thief Emperor walked out, he said,
"There is a small flower pot outside your windowsill. You usually take care of it yourself. If you have news to spread, wrap the information in oil paper, hide it at the bottom of the flower pot, and tie a white strip around the flower pot. Ribbon, I will come and take your secret letter."
"Okay!" Bai Linglong said without hesitation, her eyes were full of anger at this time, her brother was her hope of living, and now that hope is gone, she said Anything to avenge the blood revenge of the younger brother.
She raised her head slowly: "Li Yuguo, you seem to be very different from before."
"Really." Li Yuguo put his hands behind his back, he smiled slightly,
" you have to wear a mask, of course you have to recognize yourself clearly. The only thing to pay attention to is that this mask cannot be worn for too long, otherwise it will grow together with the face, and the fake will become real, and then it will really not be able to go down."
"Okay. Li Yuguo walked forward,
"Let's end the meeting here, otherwise you've been gone for a long time, if Zhang Ma sees any clues, it will be bad... Zhang Ma is a mercenary person, and for money, she will betray her. Everything that can be sold, even you..."
"I know." Bai Linglong said slowly,
"Master Li, thank you." Bai Linglong respectfully bowed to Li Yuguo. Li Yuguo no longer stayed, but left the mass grave with the Emperor of Thieves and Jun Xue.
"What do we do next?" Jun Xue asked.
"Almost, it's time to create some benefits for the common people." Li Yuguo looked at the sky, the sky was overcast and covered with dark clouds, but he knew that behind the dark clouds, there was brilliant sunshine.
It's just that the dark clouds are so thick that they completely block the sunlight, which makes the surrounding earth look lifeless.
But at this time, a gap suddenly appeared in the dark clouds, and a ray of sunlight sneaked out and sprinkled on the city wall. The light seemed to be not far away.
"The City Lord's Mansion is recruiting workers!" Jun Xue said while standing at the gate of the city.
"Recruiting workers, one bucket of noodles a day, the speed of signing up, only one hundred people are recruited!" Jun Xue shouted, and the vicinity of the city gate immediately boiled.
"What? Did I hear it wrong, a bucket of noodles a day?"
"Wait a minute, this seems to be shouted by the maid next to the King of Soft Rice.
, are you kidding us? "
It doesn't matter if he plays or not, we won't lose a piece of meat if we play anyway. Besides... If it's true, we can get a bucket of noodles every day!" The whole city gate was boiling.
The King of Thieves stood beside Li Yuguo in a mask: "Brother, is this really okay?" "
To pull the depressed Nalan city out of the quagmire, the first step is to ensure that the people have enough to eat." "Li Huguo walked up, and the simple wooden platform was already full of people.
When people saw Li Huguo, everyone showed a look of contempt.
"Look, the king of soft rice is here!" "
"Sure enough, you are making fun of us, nonsense!" Let's walk around..."
"Yeah, how can there be such a good thing in the world, it is said that the city lord's mansion is very poor every day, how can they be so merciful to take care of our life and death! Hearing the discussions around, Li Huguo came directly to the stage and scooped up a bucket of noodles with a gourd: "Of course it's not for you to give rice noodles for nothing, you also need to work in response. Starting from today, the city will The wasteland ten miles away has officially begun to be reclaimed! "A daring man stepped forward and said, "Well, give me a bucket of noodles first!" With that said, he took out the sackcloth he carried with him.
Li Huguo filled the sackcloth bag without hesitation: "You are the first, so I'll give you a bucket and give you another bucket!" "When the man looked at the slowly filling burlap sack, his body trembled with excitement, he grabbed a handful of flour and put it to his mouth and licked it: "It's really noodles!" "As soon as these words came out, the whole people near the city gate were boiling.
"Wow, there is really such a big good thing!" "
"God, it's going to be a hundred people, I... I'll join in too!" "
"Don't squeeze! Hey!" Don't squeeze, I said don't squeeze, the pants are squeezed out! "The people scrambled to start fighting.
Li Yuguo greeted: "The queue, there is no noodles for those who cut the queue!" After a while, the two bags of rice noodles were already divided, and the people who got the rice noodles surrounded Li Yuguo. Under the leadership of Li Yuguo, they came to the wasteland outside the city. If this place is to be used as farmland again, irrigation must be introduced, so opening ditches is the first step.
Li Huguo had already prepared seeds, all kinds of seeds, as long as the water was brought in smoothly, the reclamation of this field would not be a problem. In this way, the problem of food would be solved.
But this is also a long-term plan.
"Brother, the daily food costs fifty taels. If you go on like this... this is a lot of money," the Thief Emperor kindly reminded.
"I know that it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish," Li Huguo said. The King of Thieves sighed: "Madam treats you like this, in fact, I think you can stand on your own, relying on your ability as a brother."
"She... Although she is fierce, she is not a villain at heart. "Li Yuguo said, after all, the original Nalan Meng did not abandon Li Yuguo until the last moment. Even if Li Yuguo died, she fought to the end and died of exhaustion.
However, what Li Yuguo didn't know was that Nalan Meng was not far from her at this time. She was hiding behind a tree. She heard Li Yuguo's words clearly. At this time, her face was a little hot. She covered her face and cursed inwardly, "This bastard, with such embarrassed words, he said it so naturally, it's shameless!" She was about to leave, but she couldn't help but glance at Li Huguo, her lips twitched, and she muttered. He murmured: "Master, it seems that Yuguo has really changed..." The reclamation work was carried out in an orderly manner. Three days later, Li Yuguo arrived as scheduled and came to inspect the fields. However, when he came over, he found the surroundings in a mess. , The people all sat on the ground, and each of them was more or less injured.
Li Yuguo immediately ran to the side of a white-haired old man and said, "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?"
