Better to live forever [Rebirth]

The reason why they were relieved about the northern border before was that after the disaster year, the Xiongnu suffered from ice and snow disasters, many people were killed and injured, and there were not many cattle, sheep and livestock left behind.

It has not been a year since the end of the natural disaster, and the Huns have launched a war with the Qiang. Dajing will not trade with the Huns, so he can rest assured about the internal affairs of the Huns.Warriors who can't eat enough to support their families have too many worries, and fools will work for the Xiongnu Dynasty who can't feed and drink for the people at this time.

But if this worry disappears?

Zhu Dingbei subconsciously squeezed Ning Heng's hand, and quickly let go, saying: "How did they transport it out? There was no news about raising funds and transporting it. My father and Uncle Sixteen didn't notice anything! How is this possible? ?”

Ning Heng had induced this possibility just now under Zhu Dingbei's analysis, but now he is seriously considering the cause and effect.

"It's not impossible, Changsheng," Ning Heng raised his eyes, and his tone changed slightly: "The Ning family can do it. Then, it's not impossible for the Li family."

It wasn't that Ning Heng Yelang was arrogant, the Ning family did have the ability to hide from the eyes and ears of the royal family and the frontier army, and transported supplies that could feed an entire Huns.Then, why is it impossible for the Li family who can use special channels to send the remnants of the Li family out of the country.

Zhu Dingbei couldn't believe it.

To raise such a large amount of supplies, the Li family is not the Ning family, so how could it be possible to do so quietly?The border army is not a vegetarian either. Even when the snowstorm is the worst, there are people on watch at night on the watchtower. How could they miss such a behemoth?

Ning Heng held his hand instead, and continued: "For the matter of the calamity year, everyone knows the prediction of Qin Tianjian. If Li Dang has been prepared since then..."

"Aheng," Zhu Dingbei interrupted him: "I remember that before the natural disaster, many people died in the Yangzhou government because of the crime of dereliction of duty, and many people bought and sold grain in Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and Guangzhou. I was worried that these people would take the opportunity to raise food prices... If the Li family was among them, would you miss them?"

Ning Heng paused, then sighed: "According to the situation at the time, as long as there is no malicious sale, neither the imperial court nor the Ning family will intervene."

In other words, if there are big families or other people who follow suit and buy a large amount of grain storage and do not make a profit from it, then when the grain storage is still able to cope with the disaster year, the imperial court will not collect grain from these people. Among these is safe.

"Li Dang is really scheming."

Zhu Dingbei gritted his teeth, whether it was the Ruan family, the Huang family or the Ning family, they planned the current strategy four years ago, which is really shocking.

He wished he could be in Luojing right now!

They guessed at the possibility, but others didn't.If the imperial court and the frontier army underestimated the Huns' military strength and food and grass capabilities, then half of the battle would have been lost!As long as he thinks that the iron cavalry of the Xiongnu and Qiang will step into the territory of the Great Jing Kingdom soon, Zhu Dingbei can no longer sit still.

Damn it, at this moment, he is still stuck in this dilapidated place, unable to move even a single bit of news.

hateful!

"Changsheng, don't worry."

Ning Heng also got up and embraced the furious Zhu Dingbei. He comforted him: "Dajing's army is powerful. If it's time to go to war, we may miss the opportunity, but Dajing's tens of millions of troops are less than 300 million against the Xiongnu and Qiang. The strength of the army, this battle will not be lost. You have to trust your father and Uncle Sixteen, they can hold it."

Zhu Dingbei took a deep breath to calm himself down, and said to Ning Heng, "Ah Heng, I feel uneasy. They can cause chaos in Ningzhou and Liangzhou, and they can also cause chaos in Xianbei, and it is impossible to prevent it. Gao Although Feiyang is able to govern Xianbei with ease, the current situation in Xianbei is not as good as the Xiongnu we originally thought. The food and livestock issued by the court can only relieve the urgent need. If Xianbei people are incited, they will ignore them at that time At the end, I'm afraid that even Father will be helpless and can only fight recklessly."

It has been almost seven years since Dajing established his mansion in Xianbei. Xianbei people seem to get along with Dajing people in peace now, but they can't stand the calamity of the calamity year.

Xianbei suffered heavy losses, and it was not easy for Dajing to support these people. If the Xiongnu or Qiang people gave these ordinary people a way of life to survive, would the Xianbei people who did not have much sense of belonging to Dajing be rebellious or loyal? , the answer is clear at a glance.And the immigrant people who came to Xianbei have survived the disasters of the past few years, and they are also hungry. Even if they are loyal to Dajing to the death, they have no combat power.

Thinking of this, he felt a fire burning in his heart.

What Zhu Dingbei could think of, how could the Xiongnu or Li Dang not think of it?

In fact, compared to Ningzhou and Liangzhou, Xianbei Prefecture is their better appetizer.He didn't believe that they would miss this great opportunity and let Xianbei Mansion survive this year in peace, waiting for Dajing's comprehensive food and animal rescue.

"Aheng, we must leave as soon as possible, we must hurry."

He said.

Ning Heng sighed, and said amidst the thunder that kept bombarding the sky, "I know."

Zhu Dingbei couldn't sit still, these speculations made him feel uneasy, let alone this island, even this rain made it difficult for him to move an inch in this dilapidated thatched hut.The tiger fell in Pingyang, Zhu Dingbei was sad and unhappy for a while, and he endured it for a long time before sitting back on the grass ball under Ning Heng's persuasion.He pulled the wood left over from building the shed today, peeled off the bark, and groped for some sharp stones in the corners—he used the tips of these stones to pry open some wild fruits with hard shells he found yesterday.

Seeing what he was carving on the wood, Ning Heng couldn't help but feel distressed: "Changsheng, you can lean on me and sleep for a while, you will have to use up your energy tomorrow."

Zhu Dingbei shook his head, regardless of whether Ning Heng could see it or not, he carved two strokes in the dark, groped for a while, but couldn't distinguish the handwriting, so he simply used a stone tip to carve two words forcefully on the wooden surface: Zhu, rather.

He said to Ning Heng: "There is not much time left, Ah Heng, I don't want to wait."

They are all injured now, the skin injury on his leg is okay, but Ning Heng's injury must be taken care of carefully.When they built the ship and found a way out, they didn't know it was the year of the monkey, so they asked for help.

Ning Heng was stunned for a moment, then looked at his hands and feet and broke off a piece of wood to start peeling, then he understood.He said: "Longevity, you fold it, and I will carve it."

Seeing that Ning Heng understood his intentions, Zhu Dingbei naturally agreed.

Ning Heng was thinking about other things secretly, he spent a lot of time in the island, and never actively thought of ways to escape.However, Changsheng must not have stopped thinking for a moment, otherwise he would not have used these woods to start carving letters for help at this time without saying a word.Presumably he had already had such an idea two days ago, otherwise, how could he have brought so many logs back in advance? It is because his wounded Changsheng did not dare to leave too far for too long, so he temporarily put aside the idea of ​​throwing logs into the sea to find rescue. .

Zhu Dingbei stepped on the wood with one foot and broke it off with both hands. He worked silently for a long while, and he didn't stop until all the extra wood in the hut was used up.

Playing with the carved wood, Zhu Dingbei sighed and said: "I hope these wood can float far away."

He believed that neither the Ning family nor the Zhu family would give up on the two of them, no matter how long it had been in the sea, there would definitely be a fleet of search and rescue ships for them.I just hope that these carved wood can attract rescuers this morning before they build the ship and leave.

Not long after, Ning Heng finished engraving. He rubbed his hand cut by the sharp stone, and said to Zhu Dingbei: "Do your best."

Do your best, listen to destiny.

It seems that they have no other choice.

It rained torrentially all night, and the sky finally stopped when it was bright. They saw the red sun breaking through the sea and dispelling the dark clouds in the sky.

Zhu Dingbei took a deep breath, turned his head and shook his face at the dilapidated thatched hut behind him, and then said: "Find something to eat, and get busy in the afternoon."

With such heavy rain, it is estimated that even a piece of dry wood cannot be found, and it is a big problem to make a fire.Also, the water on the trees was choking, and Zhu Dingbei didn't want to impulsively go in and drag his body full of water out, so whether he wanted to cut wood or cook ointment, he had to wait until the sun had almost dried out the water.

Zhu Dingbei took out the green fruit that he hadn't finished eating last night. It's not easy to eat this kind of food, but it's still possible to fill the stomach.

After sitting for a while, the two of them started to dismantle the thatched hut——not finding something to do, they felt panicked.Ning Heng could stand being quiet without thinking wildly, but Zhu Dingbei couldn't, he had to keep himself busy.

In the afternoon, Zhu Dingbei went into the forest, while Ning Heng boiled medicine in a natural sunken "stone pot" on the stone pestle set up by the water, and ground medicinal herbs with round stones.When Zhu Dingbei came back from the forest, his ointment was almost ready.

The two ate some roughly, changed their medicines, and fell asleep in the newly erected thatched hut for a while before Zhu Dingbei rolled to Ning Heng's side to join him.

"Ge Ta's father's life is about to change."

Zhu Dingbei feels better when his hands are next to Ning Heng's warm skin. After the rain last night, he didn't feel much during the day, but the sudden drop in temperature at night makes people feel uncomfortable.

They spent the frost on the island, and it was only two days before the beginning of winter, and the matter of keeping out the cold was imminent.

Ning Heng hugged Zhu Dingbei in his arms, rubbing his palms on his back to make him feel hot, relying on his physique a circle wider than him, let him bury his head into his shoulder socket.Zhu Dingbei didn't notice anything, and he learned to wipe some heat from Ning Heng's body. Although the two didn't speak, all the rabbits on the island shivered for some reason that night.

God, it's getting colder.
