Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 224 A World With More Men and Less Women 16
Regarding An Ran's accommodation, Mrs. Zhang felt that An Ran had a kind face, so she agreed, and did not let her in because of An Ran's lame reason, like others, who were afraid of doubts.

An Ran came to this village to stay overnight. The excuse she made was that she had escaped from the city. Since she didn't have any relatives, she planned to hide in the countryside for a while.

Who would believe this excuse? First, An Ran’s accent is not local at all, it’s strange that he escaped from the city; Settling near the battlefield does not sound like a real escape. How would a real escape dare to settle in such a close place, so the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled villagers in the village were very vigilant and did not let them go. She stays.

But Mrs. Zhang accepted An Ran's accommodation.

Regarding this, Mrs. Zhang said this, saying: "I don't care whether what your child said is true or false, so what if it is false, anyway, if you believe in the wrong person, you will just kill my old lady. Anyway, I have made plans to die, and I will die if I die; if what your son said is true, my wife is doing good deeds anyway, and besides, there is someone who can talk to my wife and help me It's good to fetch water, but I'm still worried that my old man is getting old, and it's difficult for me to carry some water for food by myself."

Therefore, Mrs. Zhang's thinking is very simple, and it comes down to one sentence: "If you break the can, you will love it."

For the old lady's kindness, An Ran naturally reciprocated. Immediately, An Ran went up the mountain to help her collect a lot of firewood, and brought a lot of water to put at home.

It's a pity that there was a war nearby, not only people ran away, but also those wild boars and rabbits ran away, otherwise An Ran would not say to give the old lady the head of the wild boar, it would not be a problem to get the head of the hare.

We couldn't hunt wild boars and hares, but fortunately the wild pigeons didn't run away, so An Ran hunted a few wild pigeons, and then cooked for the old lady. After all, the old lady Zhang is in her sixties. In this era, Even if you are in your sixties, you are very old. Generally speaking, it is not convenient for you to move around. She is also embarrassed to ask such an elderly person with limited mobility to cook for her.

The old lady Zhang ate the dishes made by An Ran, she smiled very satisfied, and said: "You are really good at cooking. I have lived to such an old age, and I have never eaten anyone's dishes. It is better than yours. of."

"Elders eat more if they like to eat." An Ran said with a smile.

"He is strong, he can hunt, he can cook, and he is handsome. If my old man is dozens of years younger, I will marry a capable young man like you." Old lady Zhang joked, and An Ran blushed when she heard it. Repeatedly said: "The old lady has won the award."

Apparently, Mrs. Zhang didn't realize that An Ran was a woman.

That's right, it's hard to imagine that a woman with such great strength can also hunt, let alone a girl who dares to go out alone in this chaos, even if An Ran looks like a woman, others will automatically think It means that she may be a sissy, but never think of her as a woman.

The quiet life with Mrs. Zhang didn't last long, maybe only four or five days. An Ran collected what she wanted about the quality of Zhang Wentian's team.

On this day, a grain requisition team came to the village, saying that it was to overthrow the imperial court full of corrupt officials and save the people from the fire and water. It was specially ordered by General Zhang to collect grain on the spot. I hope all the villagers and elders can understand. I dedicate myself to righteous deeds. In the future, General Zhang will rule the world. He will never use these corrupt officials to harm the people like this imperial court.

Therefore, it is called grain requisition, but it is actually grain grabbing.

Of course, on the surface they said they were buying, but during the current war, the price of grain in the vicinity has soared to five taels of silver a stone, and they only bought it at the price of five hundred pennies a stone. What is this called grabbing?
The people in the village were very cooperative, and the other party gave them food when they asked for it. Even if it was their last bit of food, the other party found it and seized it, they did not resist.

Although he is old, weak, sick, and disabled, it is best to be alive. Naturally, he does not want to resist and lose his life. Even if there is no food, it is still a dead word, but dying in a few days is better than dying now.

The food requisition team collected the last bit of food in the village, and left without embarrassing the villagers.

An Ran felt that it wasn't that they didn't want to embarrass them, but because they could see that there was no one in the village, and there was nothing left. It would be useless even if they killed a few old, weak, sick and disabled, so they searched for everything. I just left, and did not do other things such as rape and robbery—mainly because except for the old lady, younger women all left, and they didn’t even have a target for rape and robbery (and they didn’t find out that An Ran was a woman), so At most, they kicked a few people who made them feel dishonest, played tricks on them, and dared to hide food. For these people, these people didn't even kill them, they just kicked them a few times.

Even so, the other party may feel that the discipline of his family is very strict, at least he didn't kill the people, right?
But from An Ran's point of view, the opponent was clearly not qualified.

Tsk, what did you say that when King Zhang became the emperor, he would not appoint those corrupt officials. He started robbing things before he came to power. How can the common people believe their nonsense?
Besides, although they didn't kill anyone, they robbed the people of their last bit of food. The old, weak, sick, and disabled had nothing to eat, and they were still dead in the end. The imperial court levied too many miscellaneous taxes to make people unable to live, and he robbed things everywhere, which still made people unable to live.

Seeing such a situation, An Ran was ready to go back and do what she should do instead of relying on Zhang Wentian.

An Ran was about to leave, but what about the people in this village who had no food?
Immediately, An Ran gathered the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled, and said, "Why don't you go to Yunyang Mansion with me? Yunyang Mansion is not far from here, but across the river, it's relatively safe. I know you don't want to leave My hometown, but I have nothing to eat, so staying here is a death sentence, why not go to Yunyang Mansion to stay for a while, when the war is over and your relatives come back, you will be nearby, and it will be convenient to reunite with them. Anyway, better to die than to live."

An Ran's words made the remaining dozens of old, weak, sick and disabled people in the village a little bit tempted, and they couldn't help whispering.

Everyone has seen An Ran's performance in the village these days. He is a young man with a lot of strength and ability. If he follows "him" and reaches Yunyang Mansion on the other side safely, it should not be a problem.

They were not afraid of what An Ran would do to them, anyway, they were all like this, it was just a burden, what use could it be to the other party?
