Chapter 232 Crossing 100,000
The red sun dawned and the sky was getting clear. Li Chunyuan took his men to look at the other side of the river. There are also some soldiers guarding the river, and the soldiers transporting grain are busy on the way to the provincial capital. From now on, they have to prepare lunch for everyone. According to Zhang Letian's original plan, there is naturally no breakfast.
The soldiers began to drink and order everyone to stand in line according to the order. Soldiers with steel guns watched, and the action was also quick. Under the action of tens of thousands of soldiers, all the ordinary residents were quickly lined up in the same line. Some old, weak and sick and young experienced this cold night and never got up again. Some caused a few cries, while others no one cared. No matter who cared, the bodies were dragged aside by the soldiers. Now the dead are not big, and the living are big.
When it was bright, a team of soldiers began to cross the river, and then quickly ran across the pontoon bridge and stood on the other side of the river. The half-wet trouser legs seemed to have no impact on them. This was also because the patience of soldiers was higher than ordinary people.
Zhang Letian also followed this wave of people, and then looked for Li Chunyuan over. There is no better way for the two to discuss it. There is no better way but to let the soldiers limit the number of people on each pontoon bridge, at least there should be unnecessary casualties because of crowded and disorder.
The plan has been agreed. Under Zhang Letian's order, the pontoon bridge on the whole river began to move. The residents of the military region carefully stepped on this somewhat turbulent water bridge, and endured the piercing cold cold river and began to slowly cross the river.
In an instant, the whole river was full of people, which was a huge number of pontoon bridges built by the Luo Yuan Dynasty. Li Chunyuan couldn't count how many pontoon bridges there were for a while, but there was no doubt that only such a number could ensure the migration of more than 100,000 people.
"Su Pan, she can't hold on." Zhang Letian looked at the dense people in front of him who were preparing to cross the river and said to Li Chunyuan.
Li Chunyuan didn't say anything. This topic is not the topic he is interested in. Seeing his reaction, Zhang Letian couldn't help but feel relieved a lot: at least the two have not hooked up, and I still have a chance. It seemed a little inappropriate to hook up with a traitor. Zhang Letian couldn't help thinking about replacing this unpleasant word with the words in his stomach.
"Puff!" Help!" A man slipped into the cold river with thin ice, and then struggled desperately. It seemed that he could not swim. No wonder there are not as many people in the north who can swim as in the south. There are so few people who can wear water-soaked cotton-padded clothes to come and go freely in this cold river. Of course, it is impossible for this person to struggle to get ashore by himself.
A short distance of a few meters actually became a chasm. The man struggled for a few seconds and couldn't stand it, and began to pour water. Li Chunyuan moved in his heart and felt that he had a lot of ice power on his arm. He even ran a few steps to that place, reached forward, and turned into a popsicle more than two meters long.
The drowning man grabbed things randomly with great strength. As soon as Li Chunyuan handed over the popsicle, he was caught by the man and was almost dragged down the river by him. Fortunately, the man was always a little awake after grabbing the popsicle. He recovered after a few movements. He grabbed the popsicle and pulled it up. He could barely exhale, which was really saved.
After a while, Li Chunyuan pulled the man out of the river. The man wore a wet cotton-padded coat and shivered in the cold wind. He caught a cold almost instantly, but he still thanked Li Chunyuan with a runny nose, and then he found a place to go. Take a break.
"Does it make sense?" Zhang Letian asked in a low voice, "Do you think he can survive in this way? His cold and his wet clothes almost made it impossible for this man to survive. Why did you waste your ice power to save him?
"I just went to save it when I saw it. As for later, I tried my best. I just wanted to act according to my own heart." After saying that, Li Chunyuan went to another place, where there was another person who fell into the water.
Zhang Letian smiled and said, "This guy has a dead face. Who is he trying to scare?" However, he didn't mind helping others. The next team of soldiers ordered, "Look for some tree trunks and help Li Chunyuan save people."
With Li Chunyuan and that team of soldiers, people crossing the river are much more at ease. Although there are occasional rescuers, it will not shake people's hearts. In contrast, a large number of people gathered around the fire to bake their clothes and keep sneezing, which has also become a special landscape for crossing the river.
Li Chunyuan ran all morning with a popsicle, gasped tiredly, and finally ushered in the last group of people crossing the river. What surprised Li Chunyuan was that there was no Su Pan and others in it. When did Su Pan know that he was more commutable? This is simply incredible.
"Mr. Li, can we have a rest?" Cao Datou also gasped and asked. Li Chunyuan wanted to do this. More than 200 of them followed suit. They couldn't find so many trunks for a while. Most people came to express their spiritual support at will. Only Cao Datou, Di Tong, Wei Jianzhong and Hu Nuoran were a little guilty. I'm afraid they couldn't be in front of Li Chunyuan. He performed well, so he worked hard to follow Li Chunyuan all morning, more serious than Liu Lang and Lao Zhang.
Li Chunyuan threw the popsicle in his hand into the river: "You can have a rest." Cao Datou and others suddenly got amnesty and found a place to rest.
Although there are many pontoon bridges, it is still noon after transporting all the residents. The crisis of the zombie frenzy is finally completely avoided. With this river as a chasm, even if the wall of the military area is broken by someone, it is no longer a big deal.
Zhang Letian looked at the time and wanted to say: "Continue the march", but he understood that the soldiers and residents who had been busy all morning were extremely tired. If he didn't add some food, it would be a rebellion. There was only one choice he could do now, that is, to make a fire to make food.
As soon as this order was issued, everyone was much more relaxed and could finally eat! What they didn't know was that when they began to cross the river, the grain transportation team ordered by Zhang Letian was on the road, and it was at least a few kilometers away at this moment.
"Gear Zhang, more than half of the food has been transported away. It's not enough." The person in charge of cooking came to report to Zhang Letian.
Zhang Letian had no choice but to: "Work hard. The grain that has been transported can never be shipped back. I don't care what method you use. In short, we will make everyone full at noon today, and then we will go to the provincial capital together."
"I'll try?" The monitor of the cooking class was dumbfounded, "How can I work hard?"
"I know." A voice answered steadily. Li Chunyuan looked back and was stunned to find that it was Wei Jianzhong, who was usually cautious and low-key. He stood behind him and had been listening to the discussion of Zhang Letian and others. Li Chunyuan suddenly found that perhaps the old man also had his own philosophy of dealing with the world.
Zhang Letian also looked at the old sanitation worker who seemed to be a little strong in surprise and said to Li Chunyuan, "Your men?"
Li Chunyuan nodded, and Zhang Letian asked Wei Jianzhong, "What can you do?"
"You guys haven't experienced hunger, and you still say that you haven't eaten anything. I think this mountain is full of food. Why don't you eat it?" As soon as Wei Jianzhong spoke, Li Chunyuan and others understood.
"There are fish in the river. Even if you can't catch fish, there are some grass in winter. Most of the grass roots on the ground can be eaten, and the soft layer behind the bark can barely fill the stomach. But we don't have to be so troublesome, because a few hundred meters further north is a field, and so many green wheat seedlings can cook. As Wei Jianzhong spoke, his expression was a little sad.
The cooking monitor's eyes lit up and he went there happily. Li Chunyuan wanted to reach out and pat Wei Jianzhong on the shoulder, but suddenly found that he was a little inappropriate for an emotionally injured old man, so he didn't pat him. He just said in words, "Wei Jianzhong, thank you. That must not be a good memory."
"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Letian also said seriously to Wei Jianzhong that he was not a particularly bastard. Naturally, he could also see Wei Jianzhong's sad expression.
Wei Jianzhong shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You have misunderstood. I didn't start to guess because of those things. In fact, when I was a child, when I was herding sheep, I also wondered if they were too pitiful. The sheep wanted to eat grass, and I ate it when I was very hungry. The grass roots and bark ate everything. They lived alone and never hindered anyone. When people saw it was useful, they used it, just like today's wheat seedlings. When people see it useless, it's just weeds. Isn't this also ungrateful?
Li Chunyuan and Zhang Letian and the people around them looked at each other in constersinuum. They didn't expect that Wei Jianzhong suddenly said such thought-provoking words.
Wei Jianzhong shook his head: "Oh, it's nonsense again. Just listen and smile. I'm old, and I always like to think about these things. I ate this wheat seedling today, alas!" He didn't say anything anymore, but Li Chunyuan and others understood the source of his sadness. This person was actually cherishing the lives of those wheat seedlings!
Maybe that's why he can become a plant manipulator? Li Chunyuan thought with some determination that maybe it was God's will in the dark, and only those who cherish the lives of plants like this could manipulate plants.
"Gear Zhang!" A soldier suddenly ran over and reported to Zhang Letian, interrupting everyone's meditation. "The leading team of food transportation met the three seniors of Chang Baili in the military region and the team led by them!" They brought a lot of food and drove two cars from the provincial capital!"
"What!"
