Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

These days, I insist on delivering food at the gate of the city every day. The pancakes at home are food reserves, so I can’t deliver them every time. I asked Chen Xiang to cook rice and bacon, and I delivered them on a scooter.

The situation is really bad. I saw a lot of dead and wounded soldiers. Many of them had bloody faces, and many of them were too late to be treated. They retreated to the front line and lay on the side of the road waiting to die. water and meals.

We are one with destiny, we are all relatives at this time, defending our home requires the army, and we also need the support of the people.

But the situation is getting worse and worse, today I braved the rain to deliver food, Chen Xiang steamed bacon rice, it was delicious.When I reached the gate of the city, I heard miserable shouts, and someone shouted "My lord—"

In the midst of lightning and thunder, under the curtains formed by the heavy rain, I saw Mr. Wang, who was wearing a bright red armor, fell backwards, with an arrow stuck in his armor.

The whole city was dark, and the only red spot in the rainstorm was gradually surrounded by blue-grey. I heard roaring cheers outside the city amidst the deafening thunder.

The city gate trembled, and I knew there was a knock on the door outside.

I stood there dumbfounded, my mind blank.

A soldier was vaguely heard shouting hoarsely: "Go home quickly! Go home and hide!"

I also heard a shrill woman's voice, a red figure wanted to jump up the tower, behind her a man in white clothes stained with mud carried her on his shoulders, let her beat and struggle, turned his head and ran away without hesitation.

I thought for a while, Deng Shuai is always a headache from Miss Wang, but he is very reliable at critical moments.

The city gate began to shake violently, and the people screamed and fled in all directions. The soldiers who lost their commanders all stood in front of the city gate, roaring and screaming...

Use your own flesh and blood as the last barrier to win a little life for the people.

I cried, howled, and the food basket was covered with oiled paper, and it was still warm at this time.

The basket was knocked over by the running crowd, and the fragrant bacon and rice were overwhelming and the rain fell all over the street.

I knelt on the street in the rain, kowtowed a few times to the group of fresh and heroic beings, then turned around and ran, even forgetting that the scooter would be faster.

When I got home, I didn't care about changing clothes, so I dragged Chen Xiang out of the house. He knew something was wrong, and asked me what was wrong, crying.

I said that the city gate is about to be broken. I don’t know what will happen after the Huainan King’s people come in, but I don’t think it will be too good, otherwise there won’t be so many refugees. Chen Xiang is a beautiful little brother, and he must hide immediately. stand up.

I rolled up all his clothes in the closet and stuffed them into his arms, then dragged him into the latrine in the rain, opened the door of the secret passage, and stuffed him in.

He put his hands on the entrance of the secret passage and cried, "Brother Zhang Cheng, come down too!"

I cried and laughed and shook my head at him: "Ah Xiang, I thought of many ways to prevent them from overturning the ground and preventing them from finding this secret room, and finally I found that the most effective way is to leave a person on it with them. Zhou Xuan, confuse them, Ah Xiang, I said to protect you, so I must protect you!"

Chen Xiang cried and screamed: "No! If you want to hide, hide together, if you want to die, die together!"

My eyes were red, like a beast losing its mind, and I yelled at him: "What do you know, you idiot, do you know what will happen to a little brother like you if he falls into the hands of those people! It's not as simple as death!"

Chen Xiang cried loudly, I pressed his head and stuffed him into the secret passage, my voice was hoarse, and the crying sound was so ugly, I said: "Get down quickly, don't make a sound, if something happens to you, I will I’m not alive anymore! You go down, I’ll deal with them, and I promise not to die, can’t you?”

Chen Xiang struggled: "I don't believe you, you are the worst, I don't believe it, how can you guarantee it—ah——"

I pushed hard, and Chen Xiang slipped from the descending steps and sat on the ground of the secret room. I quickly sealed the entrance and covered the entrance of the secret passage with the dry sand I had prepared long ago. Hand smoothed the ground so it looked as if it had always been that way.

Then I walked out of the hut and went home, listening to the shouts of killing outside through two walls, weeping silently.

Those figures at the gate of the city will become an indelible monument in my mind forever.

I changed into dry clothes. I still have to take care of myself at this time. I can't get sick and I can't fall down.

I was fidgeting in my anxious mood, there seemed to be a lot of people outside, no wonder Mr. Wang and the others couldn't hold on.

My sense of hearing became very sharp at this time. I heard someone crying on the street, a woman's voice screaming, and insulting...

These sounds didn't stop until late at night. The rain stopped at night, but the wind was very strong, and the window paper was scratched. I heard the sound of whimpering. I don't know if it was the wind passing through the narrow alley, or there were helpless sobbing.

I carefully opened the secret passage, and handed Chen Xiang two dry biscuits and a water bag.

He calmed down, his eyes were red, and asked me how I was doing.

I comforted him and told him that as long as he hid here well, nothing happened at home for the time being, don't worry about me, I'm a big man, as long as I don't provoke them, they won't kill me on purpose.

Chen Xiang sobbed softly and told me not to light the lamp at night.

Don't light a lamp at night, what a long night it must be.

On August [-]th of the Gengzi Year, the weather is cloudy and windy

Early in the morning, I handed Chen Xiang water and dry biscuits, and he told me to eat well. Before he could finish his sentence, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door, and a burst of rough calls to the door.

I hurriedly closed the secret door, wiped a few handfuls of sand from the ground, and put it on top of it with agricultural tools.

The knocking on the door outside became more and more urgent, so I hurried to open the door.

As soon as I opened the door, someone kicked me in the face. Fuck it hurt, I flew upside down, the kick was under my ribs, it hurt so hot, I almost felt the smell of rust in my throat.

Unfortunately, I haven't eaten in the morning, otherwise I would have to vomit all over the floor.

I lay on the ground clutching my stomach and moaned. A group of ferocious soldiers rushed in, and one of the leaders cursed: "The door is open so late, what are you doing at home? Where are the Tibetans?"

I struggled to get up from the ground, the pain between my ribs prevented me from making any sound at all, I hissed and said, "Master Jun, I... I just got up... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... "

I really want to jump up and beat that kid hard, but there's a knife in his hand...

The man glanced at me and said to his subordinates, "Search!"

His little soldiers ran around my house like ghosts. After a while, they dragged a few sausages and ran out with a rice bowl in their arms. Another one carried a bag of snacks, and the last one ran out with two taels of silver. , They searched twice more and caught all my chickens. They didn't find anything in the last trip, so they gave up.

The leader glanced dissatisfied, and said, "Why is it so small?" I squatted on the ground and did not dare to say anything.

The leader looked around and said, "Pull the vegetables in the field."

Those soldiers immediately went to pick vegetables, they were like wild boars, they didn't know how to cherish them, regardless of whether they grew up or not, they were all picked up.

The leader kicked me again, kicked me down, and said, "Is there anyone else in the family?"

I shook my head: "It turns out that there is a daughter-in-law who ran away when the city was closed last month."

The leader sneered, "I'm a wimp." He kicked me with his toe and said, "Go to the street, my lord has something to say."

I could only get up in a hurry, clutching my stomach and following them. At this moment, I felt that I had no dignity, like a rotten dog.

When I got to the street, there were already many people gathered on the street. I saw a few familiar neighbors, and everyone looked at each other with a feeling of sympathy.

After a while, a man who looked like a general came over, and brainwashed us like dogs, saying that the king of Huainan was kind and spared our lives, so that we could consciously give away all our wealth , to thank King Huainan for not killing him.Shit, bah!Shameless!

In the end, the man took out a notice and said, "Everything is up to you. Whoever captures the man in the portrait will be rewarded. Anyone who dares to cover up will be punished by the Nine Clans!"

I looked up, and my heart was full of shock. The portrait was so lifelike that I could recognize it at a glance, and it turned out to be Fenglai.

Fenglai...

What is his relationship with King Huainan?

It must not be a good relationship, otherwise there is no need to offer a reward.

Everyone also recognized Fenglai, and they were very surprised. The general snorted coldly, and said, "It seems that you all know each other. I'll say something ugly first. The King of Huainan has specified that he wants to live. If any of you see it, would you dare not?" Report it, think about the head on your neck and your family's!"

Then we were dispersed.

I clutched my stomach and walked home, and caught a glimpse of a blue figure at the corner of the alley, which quickly disappeared at the entrance of the alley. Miss Rong.

Feng Lai was stunned for a moment when he saw me, then looked at each other silently, as if he didn't know what to do.

There was noise from outside the alley, and I heard a rather familiar voice shout: "It's over there, I saw them."

When I saw Fenglai, he was pulling Niang Rong and was about to run away, so I hurriedly shouted softly: "Follow me!"

Feng Lai hesitated for less than a second, then ran away with me.

I took them home, opened the door of the secret room immediately, and stuffed them in without saying a word.

Then I opened the door, and slapped my face hard. At some point, my fingernail turned over, and this mouth just drew a blood mark on my face, which was very painful.

Then I lay at the door, covering my face and gasping for air.

In less than a minute, a group of people rushed over aggressively, and the leader shouted: "Master Zhang, did you see Fenglai and them?"

I looked up and saw, damn it, it was Dong Xinian, the grandson of the turtle, who brought a group of soldiers to chase after him. This grandson is really not a joke. He pursued Fenglai with an affectionate appearance all day long, but now he is the first one. Bring someone to catch it!

I couldn't make him feel better, so I gasped and said, "I just saw two people running past, and I thought they looked alike, so I stopped them, but the man slapped me back. bleeding."

Dong Xinian leaned over to have a look, and said, "People disappear when they come to you. Could it be that you hid them and played tricks here?"

This guy is not too stupid, I got angry all of a sudden, jumped up and pointed at Dong Xinian's nose and scolded: "Dong, I provoked you, you gave me such a big pot of shit, you want my life? Right? All military masters—"

I cupped my hands at those soldiers and said, "I saw the faces of those two people just now, they are not Fenglai at all, this kid is taking you blind!"

Dong Xinian was also anxious, and said, "I think you're the one with the surname Zhang, you and that Fenglai are probably having an affair..."

I interrupted him loudly and said: "Dong Xinian, you are not a thief calling for a thief, right? No one in Fengzhou City knows that you, Dong Xinian, deliver things to Tian Lai Fang every day, and you are chasing after Fenglai when you parade through the streets on Qixi Festival floats." Running all the way, what did you say to live and die for him, and stand on the opposite side of the world for him—all military lords—”

I said again: "You just go and ask the people in this city. Everyone has seen it. Why did this kid lead you to chase a man who looks like Feng Lai? I'm afraid it's not to divert the tiger from the mountain? He's going to attack the west. What kind of plank road is being built secretly? -"

Dong Xinian howled at the top of his voice, "When did I say—"

Before he could finish speaking, a tall and burly soldier lifted him up and lifted his feet off the ground. Dong Xinian struggled desperately, his fat body trembling, but he couldn't struggle.

The soldier poked Dong Xinian's chubby face with a whip, and said, "How dare you and Fenglai have such an affair? Why don't you tell me?"

Dong Xinian wanted to quibble, but was slapped on the face, and the soldier called out to his companions: "Go to his house and search!"

Just as I was halfway through my mind, the soldier turned back and said, "We'll search this one too!"

So a group of soldiers ran into my house again, turned it inside out, ruined my house, and came out and said, "Nothing."

Dong Xinian did not give up and shouted: "Maybe he dug a hole in the ground!"

Feeling cold, I ran into the hut and stepped on the entrance, picked up the agricultural tools and handed them out: "You dig the dog!"

The dog really started digging with the agricultural tools. Several soldiers stuck two knives into the dry firewood pile, and then picked up the agricultural tools to dig. Just do it once.

The group dragged Dong Xinian away.

I hurriedly piled some of the new mud they had dug out at the foot of the dry woodpile, making it look like it had been dug here too.

This is once and for all, the yard has been planed once, and it should not be planed a second time.

I went around in and out of the house, and the whole house was in disarray, and the backyard was dug up, and even the grape seedling that hadn't grown up was spared. Waiting to die on the shelf.

I waited for a while, and no one came, so I locked the courtyard door from the inside and opened the secret room door.

In the secret room, the three little heads huddled together like frightened chicks, and I actually found it a little funny.

I stretched out my hand to help them out one by one. The entrance to the secret passage was so wide open that they could hide in at any time. They had to come out to get some fresh air, and the secret room also needed fresh air.

As soon as Chen Xiang came out, he covered his mouth and wept silently, saying, "How did they make our house like this?"

I rubbed my stomach to comfort him and said, "It doesn't matter, everything that should be there is here."

Seeing me covering my stomach, Chen Xiang hurriedly pushed my hand away, saw a huge shoe print, and said eagerly, "Did they hit you?"

I smiled: "Nothing."

He was about to take off my clothes in a hurry to have a look, I stopped him and turned to look at Fenglai and Rongniang.

Feng Lai bowed to me: "Thank you, shopkeeper Zhang, for saving me. Feng Lai will always remember your great kindness forever."

Rongniang also knelt down to me with tears in her eyes. I helped them up and said, "It's nothing. Let's get to know each other once. I can't let you be captured by those evil spirits."

I said, "You guys stay at my house first, and we can take care of each other if we have anything to do."

Feng Lai smiled wryly: "There's no need to take care of each other, it's clear that you are taking care of us."

Me: "It's an extraordinary time, let's have one more person and more strength, I guess they won't come again today, let's make do and stay here first."

Feng Lai was silent for a while, and said, "Don't shopkeeper Zhang wonder why the King of Huainan wants us wanted by the whole city?"

Chen Xiang was taken aback: "Wanted in the whole city?"

I patted Chen Xiang's head and asked, "Will Mr. Feng harm us?"

Rong Niang's eyes widened: "Why did Master harm you?"

I laughed and said, "Since it won't harm us, let's stay. You have your story. Although I'm curious, I won't ask."

Rongniang stared at Fenglai with wide eyes, Fenglai lowered her eyes and thought for a while, then said, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Zhang."

Chen Xiang wanted to clean up the house, but I didn't let him, the house was in a mess, so that person didn't have the idea of ​​searching.

Chen Xiang pulled me to the bedroom, swept away the miscellaneous things on the bed, tore off my clothes, and then shed tears.

I looked down, tsk, what a big bruise, no wonder it hurts so much.

Chen Xiang touched the piece of green with shaking fingers, and sobbed softly: "They actually beat you, damn it, does it hurt?"

I smiled and said, "It hurts, can Ah Xiang blow it off?"

Chen Xiang really lay on his stomach and blew, it was cool and itchy.

I like this kind of tender time, the bruise seems to really not hurt, but unfortunately this kind of time can't last long, I put on my clothes, let Chen Xiang take out a few big pancakes, and went to the back kitchen to burn them I poured hot water, turned over some edible vegetables in the vegetable field, added salt, and cooked them. Everyone shared a bowl of vegetable soup and a big cake. full meal.

We don't know what will happen in the future, and we are anxious, but Fenglai seems calmer. He said that the new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and he cannot mobilize troops in time, but such a big incident, Huainan King has called all the way The new emperor must succeed to the throne in advance and send troops to take back the place occupied by Huainan king.

He felt that King Huainan would not have good results if he harmed the people's livelihood in this way. When the imperial army arrived, King Huainan would definitely be defeated.

When he said that, we felt better.

We stayed at home all afternoon and didn't dare to go anywhere. In the evening, Chen Xiang and Feng Lai slept in our bedroom, and Rong Niang slept in the study. I made a bed in the main room, and the door was left open. , I hung up the mosquito net and kept vigilant all the time. If there was any trouble, I would immediately send them to the secret room.

The ground is so hard and cold, I can't even hear the sound of mosquitoes, my stomach hurts, but there should be no major problem, it's just a flesh wound, alas, I was beaten, and I can't fight back.Sad!
