Of the two people who had a fever, one survived and the other died. They were both bachelors, had no relatives, and didn’t even have a first name. The one who died was surnamed Li. He was the second child in the family, and everyone called him Li Er. Every time, only Li Er's name can be engraved on it. People's life and death are already numb, but when the people around them die, everyone's face is full of sorrow.

Li Er is 17 years old this year. He was separated from his family when he fled. When he met Brother Dao, he followed Brother Dao all the way. From now on, I even smile with my mouth closed. The biggest dream in this life is to eat and drink enough, marry a wife, and have a few children.

Brother Dao cried the most. He snotted and cried, sitting on the grave and talking to Li Er who was in the grave.

"Xiaoer, now I can't buy the money you will use below. My brother owes you first. When I can buy it in the future, my brother will burn it to you. Don't rush to reincarnate. You wait for your brother to burn it for you, and you take it." Take some care, tell the elders that in the next life, you will have a good baby, a good family, and you will also be a young master, eating white noodles and meat every day."

Yang Yu'an stood aside and didn't speak. He went out for a while, and his whole person became gloomy. He squatted next to Brother Dao: "Brother, I didn't like him."

Brother Dao wiped his tears and spat on the ground: "Don't blame you! Blame the damned God! Blame the damned court! As long as there is a way for people to survive, it will become like this! Treat us like pigs and dogs! Pigs and dogs And stuttering, we don't have any!"

What kind of food was the government's disaster relief food?Pebbles are mixed with chaff, and the chaff that could be eaten is mixed with pebbles. Some people don’t pick them out. If they eat it a few times, they will become ill. What’s more, if there is only a little bit, even if they are picked out, they will still starve to death?

"Fourth brother is right!" Brother Dao stood up with tears on his face, "It's time to turn against him!"

"Brother!" Yang Zi'an urged quickly, "Be careful!"

Brother Dao touched his tears and finally regained some inspiration. He sniffed and stopped talking.

Those who died outside were buried by Yang Zian on the spot, with only wooden plaques as monuments, engraved with their names.

They have never had a good day. Since they were born, they have struggled to survive at the bottom of the society. The happiest time in life is probably when the family is still together and tastes the meat during the Chinese New Year.

Brother Dao sniffed hard, and waved Yang Zian away.

"I'll talk to Xiao Er for a while."

Yang Zian could only nod his head: "Brother, don't be too sad."

Brother Dao: "I know."

People die, but they can still live their lives. The newcomers have their heads shaved, and many people even shaved their heads. Now that the weather is warm, you don’t need to boil water to take a bath.

These people are very frightened. They were basically sold to Ren Yazi by the owner. Ren Yazi took them all the way to sell, and now there are fewer buyers. Most of them only have one bean dregs cake every day, with some mixed Bran—that was when Ren Yazi started business and was in a good mood.

None of them wanted to run away. If they ran away, the bean dregs cakes would be gone, and they would be taken with them by their teeth. At least they still had bean dregs cakes to eat.

After traveling a long distance, relying on a bean dregs cake, they have long been thin and inhuman.

Lin Yuan observed these people, and found that they had been "domesticated" by their original owners. They couldn't make choices, and they couldn't think about it. Yes, he was sold to Ren Yazi, so he listened to Ren Yazi.

Now that they were sold to Lin Yuan, they should listen to Lin Yuan's words as they should.

As long as there is a master, they are at ease.

These people were skinny and skinny. Yang Zian originally bought more than 100 people, but now there are only 56 people in front of Lin Yuan.

They are all men, Yang Zian didn't dare to buy a woman.

"I dare not bring women and children back." Yang Zian explained, "The road is too dangerous, and I can't survive if I buy them."

Lin Yuan understood, he sighed: "It's nothing."

But Yang Zi'an said: "Fourth brother, don't feel guilty, only when the city wall is built, the chances of survival of the people inside will increase. If we don't go out to buy people, we will have to wait for the bandits to come in."

Yang Zi'an, who has experienced bandits twice, said seriously: "There is a trade-off in everything you do."

Lin Yuan reached out and wiped his face.

On the one hand, he knew in his heart that if he did not buy people back and fill the population, the Zhuangzi would not be able to continue in a virtuous circle.

But on the other hand, he felt that those people died because of his own orders, which he could have avoided.

An overwhelming amount of guilt and self-doubt was about to overwhelm him.

In modern times, the biggest decision he makes is whether to continue a project, evaluate the value of this project and how much initial investment can be injected, and what he decides is only his own personal bonus for the month.

Now, every decision he makes is related to human life, and if he makes a mistake, someone's life must be filled in.

Lin Yuan finally realized that not everyone can be a general when he goes to the battlefield.

You must be calm enough and hard-hearted to make the right choice.

Yang Zian looked at Lin Yuan firmly: "You did nothing wrong in this matter."

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky, he couldn't cry like a big man, when he lowered his head again, his gaze became calm and sharp, and he said to Yang Zi'an, "We must get the city wall out before the spring of next year. Everyone else has to get it."

Lin Yuan said, "I'll bring people to forge the iron and get the weapons out."

"Tan, I will find a way." Lin Yuan said, "I will find a way."

Yang Zi'an patted Lin Yuan's shoulder, and finally showed a smile: "Fourth brother, that's right, anyone can fall now, but you can't."

Lin Yuan is now the "boss" in everyone's mind. It not only represents the decision-makers, but also represents a stable life. Once the "boss" falls, they will panic, get flustered, and feel unstable. something will happen.

Lin Yuan: "I know."

For the next period of time, Yang Zi'an led people to dig the kiln, search for soil for burning bricks, search all over the mountains and plains, and sometimes sleep directly in the wild.

Lin Yuan took people to the mountains to identify different types of trees, experimenting again and again which kind of wood can burn better charcoal, and the suitable temperature - without a thermometer, he tried it again and again with the back of his hand, Lin Yuan As a result, the back of Yuan's hand was covered with burn marks.

It would be great if they could find coal mines, but unfortunately they don't have the manpower to dig all over the mountains and plains where there may be coal.

Compared with Yang Zi'an and Lin Yuan, the people of the hunting team had a better harvest. They recently caught a lot of bamboo rats and kept them all in the Zhuangzi. Bamboo rats can eat wood and make holes, so they can only be locked up in the village. In the house, bamboo rats are quiet most of the time, and only bark when they are caught.

The food is also very simple, it is as easy to feed as a pig, and basically eats anything.

In autumn, many bamboo rats were already pregnant. Lin Yuan asked them to raise the bamboo rats first, and feed them some grass seeds and bamboo leaves every day. If there were too many pigweeds, they could feed two handfuls. The bamboo rats would grow up fast. A litter can lay several eggs, and when the second batch grows up, they will be able to live a life with meat to eat.

They also killed a few rabbits, but they were all pitifully skinny, and they were always single. In total, they caught four or five rabbits and ate them directly.

Now the meaty taste that can be tasted every day is fish soup. Many people soak multigrain steamed buns in fish soup. The steamed buns are full of soup, which can be regarded as delicious.

Guo'er, Lin Yuan's only younger sister, since she was a child, after the pain of losing her sister passed, she began to run with Erliang and Gouzi every day.

Father Lin said it several times, but Yang pushed it back.

Yang said: "I don't want her to be rich and well-educated in the future, but I want her to grow up safely. In today's world, her ability to run and dance is the foundation of her life."

Father Lin couldn't talk about his wife, and it was useless to talk about it a few times, so he stopped talking.

Guo'er is a yellow-haired girl. She didn't grow well in the womb, with yellow hair and thin arms and legs. Erliang and Gouzi didn't dare to take her to the pond to fish, so they took her to pick wild fruits on the mountain. Next to the hunting team, they are not stupid. They know that they have to follow the adults and can't go where they can't see them.

There are so many people that wild animals dare not come.

Guo'er was holding a small bamboo basket filled with small crimson fruits, each about the size of a small pearl, but very sweet, if eaten, the tongue would be stained red, in this sugar-free place In Zhuangzi, this little bit of sweetness was enough to satisfy her.

"Two Liang, dog, eat." Guo'er brought the basket in front of them. She has freckles and yellowish skin, but her smile is contagious. "It's very sweet, you eat."

Although Erliang has been following Lin Yuan, he also dealt with Guo'er when he was in the Lin family.

These young ladies, like the young master, are all very kind people. When they heard the news that the second and third misses had passed away, Er Liang also cried out sincerely.

"Thank you Miss Fourth for your reward." Erliang knelt down respectfully, Guo'er said, "Get up quickly, don't kneel to me, I won't allow you to kneel."

Erliang stood up, took a few and stuffed them into his mouth, and smiled at Guo'er: "Sweet, what the fourth lady picks is sweet."

As he spoke, he pushed the dog with his hand.

Gouzi wanted to kneel at first, but Guo'er stopped him, she said: "Don't kneel to me, or I will tell my brother."

Gouzi looked at Erliang in a daze.

Erliang: "Gouzi, listen to Miss Fourth."

Gouzi stood up, and Guo'er grabbed a handful of fruit for him.

Guo'er said, "It's so sweet."

"I have to bring some more for my brother!"

She was so excited that she had been on the mountain for almost a day. If the hunting team were not about to go down the mountain, she would have stayed on the mountain.

Lin Yuan was also very happy when he saw those berries. They were indeed sweet and had high sugar content, but they were too small. He asked Guoer, "Are there more of these berries?"

Guo'er nodded: "Many! It's all over the mountain, but there are thorns on the branches, so be careful."

Lin Yuan was going to try the fruits brought back by Guo'er first, to see if he could make sugar.

If possible, during this period of time, women don't need to sew clothes, and they are asked to follow the hunting team up the mountain to pick fruits.

Sweets, sometimes can really comfort people's hearts.

The author has something to say: I forgot the name of the fruit. I grew it in my hometown. When I was young, I liked to pick it and eat it when I climbed mountains.

We all call it dyed fruit, because it can dye the tongue red 2333
