One of the two people who had a fever survived and the other died. They were all bachelors. They had no relatives. They didn’t even have a big name. The surname of the dead was Li, the second child in the house. They both called him Li Er. Now they are dead. At the time, they could only engrave the name Li Er. People were numb to life and death, but the people around them died, and everyone had sadness on their faces.

Li Er was seventeen years old this year. When he was fleeing, he was separated from his family. When he met Brother Dao, he followed Dao all the way. He was honest and not talkative. One of his front teeth was knocked out when he was fighting for food. After that, even laughing was a closed mouth smile. The biggest dream in this life is to eat and drink, marry a wife, and have a few children.

Brother Dao cried the worst. He burst into tears, sitting on the grave and chatting with Li Erxu in the grave.

"Xiao Er, now I can't buy the money you use underneath. My brother owes you first. When I can buy it in the future, my brother will burn it for you. Don't rush to reincarnate. You wait for your brother to burn it for you. Take it. Take care of it, and tell the elders, in your next life, I will let you cast a good fetus, cast it to a good house, and be a young master, eat white noodles and meat every day."

Yang Yuan stood aside and didn't speak. He went out and his whole body became gloomy. He squatted next to Brother Dao: "Big Brother, it's someone I didn't like."

Brother Dao shed tears and sipped on the ground: "Don't blame you! Blame the **** who killed this day! Blame the court who killed that day! If you give people a way to survive, wherever they are now! Treat us like pig dogs! Pig dogs! There are still stutters, we don't have one!"

When the court’s relief food was distributed, what kind of food was that? The pebbles are mixed with chaff, and the chaff that can be eaten is mixed with the pebbles. Some people did not pick it out. After eating a few times, the person will be bad. Besides, there is only a little bit. Even if it is picked out, is it still starving to death?

"The fourth brother is right!" Brother Dao stood up, with tears on his face, "It should be against him!"

"Big Brother!" Yang Zian quickly persuaded, "Speak carefully!"

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

Those who died outside were buried by Yang Zian on the spot. Only wooden signs were used as steles with their names inscribed.

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

Brother Dao sniffed vigorously and waved Yang Zi'an away.

"I'll talk to Xiaoer for a while."

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

Brother Dao: "I know."

People are dead, but the days that should be lived are still good. Newcomers have their heads shaved, and many people have shaved their heads. Now the weather is warm, and you don’t need to boil water for bathing, and you can wash it after a day’s exposure to water.

These people are very scared. They are basically sold to Ren Yazi by the owner. Ren Yazi takes them all the way to sell. Now there are fewer people buying. Most of them only have one okara cake every day, with a little bit of inside. Zhan——That's when Ren Yazi did business and was in a good mood.

They were unwilling to run away. When they ran, the bean dregs cakes were gone, they were carried by the teeth, and somehow they still had bean dregs cakes to eat.

Traveling all the way, relying on a bean dregs cake, they have long been thin and inhumane.

Lin Yuan observed these people and found that they had been "domesticated" by the original owners. He didn't know how to make choices or think about them. They could do whatever the owner told them to do. When they were in the original home, they listened to them. Yes, it was sold to Ren Yazi, just listen to Ren Yazi.

Now that they were sold to Lin Yuan, they listened to Lin Yuan as they should.

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

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

They were all men, and Yang Zian didn't dare to buy women.

"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."

Yang Zian said, "Fourth brother, don't feel guilty. Only when the city wall is built will the chances of the people living inside become greater. If we don't go out and buy people, we can only wait for the bandits to come in."

Yang Zian, who has experienced gangsters twice, said seriously: "Anything you do must have a choice."

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and wiped his face.

On the one hand, he knew in his heart that if he didn't buy people back and fill the population, this Zhuangzi would not be in a virtuous circle.

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

Huge guilt and self-doubt were about to drown him.

In modern times, the biggest decision he made is whether or not to proceed with a project, and how much upfront investment can be injected into the evaluation of the value of the project. 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 has to fill it in.

Lin Yuan finally knew that when he went to battle, not everyone could be a general.

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

Yang Zian looked at Lin Yuan firmly: "You didn't do anything wrong with this matter."

Lin Yuan looked up at the sky. He was a big man who couldn't cry. When he lowered his head again, his eyes became calm and sharp. He said to Yang Zian: "We must get the city wall out before the beginning of spring next year. Everyone has to get it outside of the ground."

Lin Yuan said: "I will lead people to strike iron and get out the weapons."

"Charcoal, I will think of a way." Lin Yuan said, "I will think of a way."

Yang Zian patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder, finally showing a smile: "Four brother, that's right, now anyone can fall, you can't."

Lin Yuan is now the "host" in everyone's hearts. It represents not only decision-makers, but also a stable life. Once the "host" collapses, they will be flustered, be rushed, unstable, and impetuous. Something will happen.

Lin Yuan: "I know."

In the next period of time, Yang Zian led people to dig a kiln, looking for soil for burning bricks, searching all over the mountains and plains, sometimes directly sleeping in the wild.

Lin Yuan took people to the mountains to distinguish different types of trees. After experimenting again and again, that kind of wood can burn better charcoal, and there is a suitable temperature-without a thermometer, he tried it with the back of his hand again and again, Lin As a result, the back of Yuan's hand was all burned.

It would be great if they could find a coal mine, but unfortunately they didn't have the manpower to dig the mountains and plains where there might be coal.

Compared with Yang Zi'an and Lin Yuan, the hunting team members have a greater harvest. They have recently caught a lot of bamboo rats, all of which are kept in Zhuangzi. Bamboo rats can eat wood and make holes, so they can only be locked in. In the house, bamboo rats are very 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. Basically, it eats everything.

In autumn, many bamboo rats are already pregnant. Lin Yuan asked them to raise the bamboo rats first, and feed them with some grass seeds and bamboo leaves every day. You can also feed two more hogweeds. The bamboo rats grow quickly. A litter can produce several birds, and when the second batch grows up, they can live a life with meat.

A few rabbits were also beaten, but they were all pitifully thin. They were all single ones back in time. A total of four or five rabbits were caught and they were eaten directly.

The meaty taste that can be tasted every day is fish soup. Many people soak the multi-grain steamed buns in the fish soup. The steamed buns are soaked in the soup, which is considered delicious.

Guo'er, Lin Yuan's only sister now, because she was a child, after the pain of losing her sister passed, she started running with Erliang and Gouzi every day.

Daddy Lin had said this several times, but he was pushed back by Yang.

Yang said: "I don't ask her to be wealthy and knowledgeable in the future, but I ask her to grow up safely. In this world, she can run and jump is the foundation of survival."

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

Guoer is a yellow-haired girl. She doesn't grow well in her mother's womb. She has yellow hair, thin arms and thin legs. Erliang and Gouzi dare not take her to fish in the pond, so they take her to pick wild fruits on the mountain. Next to the hunting team, they are not stupid, knowing that they have to follow the adults and can't go where they can't see.

There are so many people that the beasts dare not come.

Guoer held a small bamboo basket filled with small crimson fruits. Each one was about the size of a small pearl, but it was very sweet. If you eat it in your mouth, your tongue can be dyed red. There is no sugar in this one. In Zhuangzi, this sweet taste is enough to satisfy her.

"Twenty-two, dogs, eat." Guo'er put the basket close to them. She has freckles and yellowish skin, but her smile is very contagious. "It's very sweet, you eat."

Although Erliang had been following Lin Yuan, they had dealt with Guo'er when they were in the Lin family.

These young ladies, like the young master, are very kind people. When they heard the news of the deaths of the second and third young ladies, the two and two also cried sincerely.

"Xie Si Miss's reward." Twenty-two knelt down respectfully, and Guoer said, "Get up quickly, don't kneel on me, I don't allow you to kneel."

Two and two stood up, took a few into their mouths, and smiled at Chongguoer: "Tian, ​​Miss Fourth picked sweet."

He pushed the dog with his hands.

Gouzi wanted to kneel, but Guo'er stopped him. She said, "Don't kneel on me, or I will tell the eldest brother."

The dog looked at Twenty Two at a loss.

Two or two: "Doozi, listen to Miss Fourth."

Gouzi stood up, Guoer grabbed a handful of fruit for him.

Guoer said: "It's so sweet."

"I have to bring more to my brother!"

She was so excited that she took it on the mountain for almost a day. If the hunting team were not going down the mountain, she could stay on the mountain.

Lin Yuan was also very happy when he saw the berries. They were really sweet, with high sugar content, but they were too small. He asked Guoer, "Are there more fruits?"

Guo'er nodded: "A lot! There are all on the mountain, but there are thorns on the branches. Be careful."

Lin Yuan was going to try the fruits brought back by Guoer first to see if he could make the sugar.

If they can, during this time women don't have to sew clothes anymore, and ask them to follow the hunting team up the mountain to gather fruit.

Sweets can really comfort people's hearts sometimes.
