Take the warehouse back to the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 9 Arriving at the Beacon
After being harassed by those Tartars, the crowd trembled with fear along the way, and finally arrived at Fengsui.

When everyone saw the beacon tower, they felt a little more at ease.

Looking at the dilapidated house in front of him, Zhao Wen felt a little dejected.

This is beacon?Are you lying to me?The thing in front of me is not as good as the old house in the urban-rural fringe area in later generations.

The entire beacon is built with blue bricks, and it looks extremely square from a distance, like a box with a square shape.The entire beacon is about three feet high, and there is a platform at the top of the beacon, and there is still unburned smoke on the platform, which is emitting a faint blue smoke at this time.

The entire beacon tower is divided into two floors, the bottom floor is where people live, and there is a rather spacious house inside.

The top one is the platform with crenels.

Zhao Wen was still in a good mood, after all, he could have a good rest.

But when he walked in and took a look, Zhao Wen's heart went cold in an instant.

Almost half of the entire beacon has collapsed, and one of the walls has completely collapsed.If the girder inside was not intact, it is estimated that the current beacon tower is a pile of ruins.

Zhao Wen followed Song Hu dejectedly and walked into the beacon.

"what!"

As soon as he walked into Fengsui, Zhao Wen was startled by the scene in front of him.

I saw two corpses wearing mandarin ducks and war jackets lying in the middle of the beacon hall. The corpses were covered with knife marks and marks of wild dogs gnawing on them.

At this time, the two corpses had been eaten by wild dogs beyond recognition, and the abdominal cavity of one of them had been eaten by wild dogs, and the inside of the stomach was empty, with only a layer of skin.

There was a faint rancid smell in the air, and it smelled disgusting.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Zhao Wen suddenly felt extremely disgusted.

"Wow!"

Zhao Wen hurriedly supported the wall, and vomited loudly.

Song Hu looked at the dead body on the ground, frowned slightly, then let out a long sigh, and said in a low voice, "Oh, these sons of bitches."

After all, Zhao Wen is a descendant, and he has never seen such a tragic scene.

Although there are similar scenes in the horror movies of later generations, compared with the one in front of me, it is simply nothing.

Zhao Wen vomited for a long time, took the water bag from his waist, and directly poured a big gulp of cold water.

Zhao Wen hung the water bag around his waist again, covered his nose with his hands, and said in a low voice: "These two people are also to blame, let's bury them."

"That's all it takes!"

Song Hu looked at Zhao Wen who looked uncomfortable, and asked in a low voice, "Is it better?"

"After spitting it out, it's much better."

Zhao Daniu put down the weapon in his hand, and walked to the two corpses with Wang Qi.

"Zhao Daniu, what are you doing?" Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu with a puzzled face, bent down and groped continuously on the two corpses.

But Song Hu and others looked at Zhao Daniu calmly, with a look of no surprise.

Looking at Song Hu's calm face, Zhao Wen pointed to Zhao Daniu and asked, "Why don't you bury them quickly and still touch them? Could there be money on these corpses?"

Hearing Zhao Wen's voice, Zhao Daniu smiled slightly, and said, "These brothers are all dead. Although they may have been touched by the Tartars, there is no certainty. No matter how carefully the Tartars search, it is inevitable that some of them will be left behind." thing.

Besides, brother Zhao, you don’t understand this, I’m going to need some hard-earned money to help these two brothers on the ground go to the ground. "

"Hard money? Uh, okay, then you can continue to touch it." Zhao Wen looked at Zhao Daniu's appearance, turned around directly, and waved his hands.

Seeing Zhao Wen's fuss, Song Hu immediately said, "Brother Zhao, you don't understand the frontier army at all. The frontier army is suffering, and the frontier army is really suffering. When the temple master was still here, we still I can eat some dry food. But after the funeral of the temple master, the life of our frontier army is getting worse day by day. There is not a few taels of silver at all throughout the year, and it is considered a high incense to barely eat enough."

Li Xiaosan next to him answered, "That's right, both of my older brothers died in Sarhu. At that time, there were quite a lot of pensions for my family. But it can't stand the exploitation of those officers. According to the law of the court, The families of the soldiers who died in battle could get 50 taels of silver as a pension. But the ones who got their hands were less than ten taels of silver. This is just those officers with good hearts. Xiaomi."

"And then? No, what do you want to say? Do you think I can't get used to Zhao Daniu's behavior? I want to say that you are worrying too much. Cleaning up the battlefield is justified. No matter what you do, I will not ask." Zhao Wen pointed to Zhao Daniu and said indifferently.

Although Zhao Wen has never seen Zhao Daniu's current behavior with his own eyes, he has seen it in movies.

Although Zhao Wen was a little uncomfortable at first, but after he realized it, he felt nothing.

Song Hu looked at Zhao Wen's expression of understanding, couldn't help but patted Zhao Wen's shoulder, and explained: "It's good for you to understand, it's good to understand. Our frontier army is poor, so poor. If it weren't for it, there is still a little way to survive. , I have already gone to the mountain as a son of his mother.

You have worked so hard to defend the court for the whole year, what is the result?Not to mention not having enough to eat every day, but also working for the officers.

Before going out every time, I have to think about what my mother at home will do if I die outside.We are poor, we can't help it.Do you think we don't know that doing this is sorry for the dead brother?

We don't want to do that either, but we can't.There is nothing we can do.Since these brothers are dead, it is better to leave us with the things on their bodies than to be buried in the ground.

At least we can fill our stomachs with these things and kill a few more Tartars to avenge our dead brothers.In the future, even if I die on the battlefield, if some brothers touch my money, I will not blame them.Since people are dead, then leave money to them, at least they can have a full meal. "

Song Hu finally found someone to confide in, and couldn't stop for a while, talking to Zhao Wen non-stop.

Zhao Wen let out a long breath, and said slowly: "Don't worry, with me here, no one will touch the money on your body in the future. This kind of thing will never happen in the future."

Song Hu laughed out loud when he heard the words, "Haha, I hope to see this scene."

"Look, there is indeed silver on it. Although it's not big, it's better than nothing." Zhao Daniu put the few silver beans covered with blood scabs in his hand, and said to Zhao Wen excitedly.

Zhao Wen turned his head, looked at Zhao Daniu, and said excitedly: "There are really silver beans? Are you lucky?"

When Zhao Daniu heard Zhao Wen's words, he laughed and said, "Is luck such a thing as clear? When I was young, I once met a fortune teller. He said that I have been very lucky all my life!"

Song Hu glared at Zhao Daniu, and scolded, "Where did all this nonsense come from? If you don't hurry up, put away the silver beans and bury these brothers who died in battle, what are you waiting for?"

Zhao Daniu put Yindouzi into his arms, and said excitedly: "Alright, let's do it."

Seeing Zhao Daniu like this, Zhao Wen was quite amused, so he said, "You are a generous bastard, you are really a money addict, and this mung bean-sized money makes you so happy?"

"Silver is still silver no matter how small it is. This is silver, not sand!" Zhao Daniu laughed loudly, patting the silver beans in his arms.

After everyone cleaned up the hall, Song Hu said to Zhao Daniu: "Come on, follow me to clean up the beacon tower. Otherwise, if there is any alarm and we don't light the beacon in time, we will be killed."

Zhao Wen looked at the crowd and followed behind Zhao Daniu towards the beacon tower at the top of the beacon tower.
When he climbed to the beacon tower, Zhao Wen was shocked again by the scene in front of him.

I saw a charred corpse lying on the place where the wolf smoke was lit in the middle of the beacon tower.

The back of the corpse could no longer see its original appearance. The whole back was spread out like meat sauce, looking extremely disgusting.

The body was bowed, tightly protecting the beacon under the body.

"This brother died to protect Fenghuo!" Song Hu looked at the corpse and said with some emotion.
