Chapter 27 Steaming Rice Porridge
The woman fell straight down like that, and there was nothing but a few streaks of dust.

From today, the child is an orphan.Like thousands of orphans at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he had to survive in poverty, and unlike those orphans, he met Sun Jie.

"This child's life is miserable. He has come all the way, his father is gone, and now his mother is gone!" Zhao Dading sighed, with a distressed expression on his face.

"My lord, how are these people arranged?" Chen Hu looked at Sun Jie and asked.

There was a lot of worry in his tone, and he began to worry about the future of these refugees.

Sun Jie said: "Bring them back to our camp, I will find a way to arrange these people!"

If you want to show your strengths in the late Ming Dynasty, you must have someone in your hands.

No matter what time it is, as long as someone has money, land and food in their hands, they can flex their muscles.

Although the number of these people in front of us is not many, and they seem to be poor, but they are backed by a modern society, so they can't be used for their own use.

Chen Hu and Zhao Dading, according to Sun Jie's arrangement, greeted these refugees and walked to the station.

These refugees were like headless chickens, wandering around on the loess land, and their ultimate goal was Xi'an Mansion.

Here is still far away from Xi'an Mansion, I don't know how long it will take to get there, let alone how many people will die.

Although the refugees didn't know about Sun Jie's background, but he dressed thoughtfully, looked great, and had a wealthy body, and because he saved the child, he obeyed a lot.

Before they fled, they belonged to a village. The ancient people lived together in a group. These people were basically related and belonged to a clan.
Most of them are surnamed Chen, and they don't know who their ancestors are.

Along the way, blood and family as a bond, continuous support and help, have come here.

If it weren't for this, they would have dispersed long ago and went their separate ways.

People have a herd mentality. When some people left with Sun Jie and the others, the rest followed suit.

The refugees walked very slowly. They had been hungry for a long time and were exhausted. With wooden sticks in their hands, they walked with difficulty.

The team was very depressed, almost no one spoke, only the sound of everyone's breathing remained silent.

Speaking requires energy, and these refugees have hardly eaten enough to eat, so where does the extra energy come from to speak?
Those who died had to be temporarily put on hold until the living were settled.

Sun Jie walked a little faster, and the refugees arrived earlier.

I went back to modern times and brought over the rice noodles I bought in the store. The quantity was not much, but it was enough for these refugees to eat two or three meals.

In addition to these rice noodles, there are a few iron pots, a few large plastic buckets of water, and some bowls and chopsticks.

The tent was still on the ground, and Sun Jie put the rice noodles and other things brought in beside the tent.

After all this was done, the refugees hadn't arrived yet, so they went to meet them again.

Not long after walking, I saw Chen Hu and Zhao Dading leading the refugees over.

Sun Jie didn't intend to take these refugees directly to those food places.

People are extremely hungry, and under instinct, no one knows what they will do.

There are a lot of these refugees in front of us. If they are not controlled, it will inevitably lead to disastrous consequences.

With Sun Jie and him now, there are only four people. With such a large group of people, if one of them is not good, there will be problems.

Not to mention that these refugees are all relatives, if one of them has an accident, the rest of them will definitely not stand by and watch.

Stopping in front of Chen Hu and the others, Sun Jie made a gesture to stop advancing.

"Everyone, my name is Sun Jie, so I won't talk too much, let's just say it.

Now there is a way to live before you, as long as you follow me to do things in the future, I can feed you now.

I don't force you either, those who don't want to do things with me can leave now. "

Sun Jie put his hands behind his back and looked at the refugees in front of him calmly.

These refugees looked at Sun Jie blankly, their eyes were more blank, they didn't know Sun Jie, they didn't know Sun Jie's identity, let alone what Sun Jie said to do, the only thing they paid attention to was The words "to survive" and "to have enough to eat".

Most people don't even want to think, just stand there quietly and watch.

How can people think when they are extremely hungry?What you do is basically an instinctive trend.

A gray-haired middle-aged man walked out of the crowd, leaning on a thick log, staggering step by step.

The hair on the head began to knot, like corn beard.

Panting heavily, he bowed to Sun Jie and said in a weak voice: "This official, I don't know what your purpose is?
What do you mean by doing things?What is the way to survive?Will you really fill us up? "

"Who are you?" Sun Jie asked back.

"The old man, Chen De, is an elder of the same clan." Chen De's breath was like a thread, as if he was about to die in the next moment.

In ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside. Locally, it was basically the head of the family.

This Chen De is a clan elder, in other words, he is a manager like the village chief.

"I just want you to plant the land. I have a lot of land in my hand now, and no one will plant it for me. I just ask you if you can do it. If you can, I can take you down now, let you have enough food, and then give you a lot of money. land.

If you can't, you can leave now, I won't say anything.After you agree, you will sign a contract with me after you have eaten your fill. If someone dares to violate it, you will decide the consequences yourself! "Sun Jie made a lot of doubts in his tone.

In troubled times, one should grasp both carrots and sticks, neither blindly benevolent nor blindly deterred.

Give these people a vaccination first, so that they won't say anything more when the time comes.

If you are poor and plan, you will be hungry if you are hungry.

At that time, if they are doing something excessive, and the righteousness is in Sun Jie's hands, then they will be out of their hands.

It is necessary to have the heart of guarding against others, and you must not have the heart of harming others.

In this troubled world, every step forward must be cautious.One wrong step, one wrong step, this is not playing a game, you can save and start again.One inadvertent move could result in a complete loss, or even loss of life.

The refugees in front of him didn't say anything. This old man was like a leader. As long as he made a decision, the refugees behind him would obey.

The old man hesitated, he was trying to figure out what Sun Jie said.He was a little uncertain, he didn't believe that there would be such a good thing in this world, it was as if a pie fell on him from the sky.

In times of famine, there were countless people who fled the land to cultivate the land. Why were they chosen?

Looking back at the folks behind him, he was stunned, like a walking dead. If he didn't agree to come down, who knows how many more days he can live?

No matter what lies ahead, the only way to go at present is to agree.

After hesitating for a moment, he bowed to Sun Jie again, then knelt down on the ground, kowtowed a few times, and shouted: "Thank you for your life, the hundreds of people in Chenjia Village have nothing to repay, and can only do things wholeheartedly! "

In ancient times, whenever there was a famine, there was a high incidence of land mergers.

The lords of those in power can often snatch the land from these hungry people by touching their lips, and then demote these hungry people into their own tenants to cultivate for themselves.

What Sun Jie did, from a certain point of view, is similar to land annexation.But there are fundamental differences.

"In this case, then follow me, remember what you promised, if you violate it, I will not forgive it easily.

When eating later, whoever dares to scramble, hurt people, or plunder will end up dead. I hope you understand that only what I give you is yours, and what I don’t give you, you can’t Rob, if anyone dares to stretch out this hand, don't blame me for being ruthless.

I have the grace to live, but also the coolness to kill. "

After leaving these words behind, Sun Jie led the common people to the tent.

A mouthful of iron pots are placed there, as are bags of rice noodles.

The packaging is the nylon bag of later generations. Sun Jie moved a bag of rice to the front of these refugees.

Disassemble the packaging wire on the top, exposing the polished rice inside.

The dull crowd started to riot in an instant, and no one could hold back when they saw food after a long hunger.

There are even some young people who are eager to try and want to snatch it.

Driven by instinct, let them forget all that Sun Jie said just now.

Sun Jie had expected such a scene, he took out a self-made bomb that had been installed on his body, ignited the fuse, and threw it into the distance.

"Oh!"

There was a loud noise, like a sudden thunder from the sky, instantly calming down the panicked scene.

"Huzi, the second child, the third child, hold a knife! Anyone who dares to snatch it, whoever dares to disrupt the order, will directly chop him up for me!"

Sun Jie's voice became much colder, and Chen Hu and the others also took out their weapons.

The cold light of the blade, the deafening thunder, and the murderous voice made them dare not move.

After all, people are afraid of death, and no one dares to offend at this time.They looked at the rice in front of them one by one, swallowing their saliva, but no one dared to rush over and grab the rice.

Sun Jie looked around and waited for these people to be completely quiet before speaking: "In the team, all the women come out and cook. As for the men, they all stay where they are. Without my order, whoever dares to leave One step, chop off his head!"

Under Sun Jie's call, Chen De brought out the women from the crowd.

There were more than 60 of these women. Under Sun Jie's arrangement, they began to set up pots to boil water.

There is no shortage of firewood, and litter is everywhere around.

The water in those large plastic buckets is also sufficient. These women do housework all year round. Although they have been hungry for a long time, under the temptation of food, their speed is much faster.

The rice porridge began to slurp in the iron pot, and the aroma of rice began to waft in the air.

These common people kept swallowing their saliva, looking at those iron pots, their eyes stared straight.

Chen Hu and the three of them held weapons and kept patrolling in front of the remaining refugees.

Given the power of Chen Hu and the others, they didn't dare to overstep.

The smell of rice in the air was so strong that Sun Jie asked Chen Hu and the others to divide these refugees into ten queues, with the old and weak at the front and the young at the back.

Ten huge iron pots lined up, with a stack of bowls and chopsticks placed in front of each iron pot.

The refugees in these ten queues were lined up in front of the ten iron pots.

Three or four women stood behind the iron pot, making meals for the refugees who lined up.

Each person has a bowl of rice porridge, no more, no less, no grabbing, and no grabbing. You can come back after eating, but you can only eat two bowls at most.

These refugees have been hungry for a long time and eat too much at one time. The digestive system can't bear it, so they can only eat less and more meals.

Rice porridge is easy to digest, and although its nutrients are single, it can save their lives at this moment.

The refugees who finished eating didn't even bother to leave, they just stood there and put the rice porridge in their bowls into their mouths.

Some refugees ate too quickly, and the porridge was too hot, which made him burst into tears, and kept crying, unwilling to spit it out.

When did these refugees eat this kind of rice porridge?Before fleeing, what they ate was only some brown rice, and most of them were yellow millet.

The yellow millet of this era is not the modern yellow millet. It is rough and difficult to swallow. For these ordinary people, it can only be used to survive.

The rice porridge they are eating now does not know how to describe the taste.

I just feel that the mouth is like being wrapped in honey, sweet and moist, warm and refreshing.

As I ate and ate, tears flowed out.

After fleeing for so long, they have never had a full meal, let alone food, not even grass roots and bark.

Now eat a bowl of hot rice porridge, don't mention how excited you are.

After eating two bowls of rice porridge, these long-hungry refugees relieved a lot, but they were not full.

Hungry for a long time, many people have forgotten what it feels like to be full, and they will eat too much involuntarily, and they will be stuffed to death without knowing it.

It was also for their sake that Sun Jie restricted them to only two bowls of rice porridge.

Chen De sat on the ground with a bowl of rice porridge in his hand, eating tremblingly.

Tears flowed down his face into the bowl, holding the chopsticks, he pulled the rice porridge in the bowl into his mouth one by one.

Maybe it was nervous, maybe it was excitement, maybe it was excitement, the hand holding the bowl kept shaking, and the rice porridge was inevitably scattered on the ground.

He quickly put the bowl in his hand on the ground, carefully picked up the rice porridge that had fallen on the ground, blew on the ashes, and stuffed it all into his mouth.

Even the scattered rice grains scattered on the ground have to be picked up and eaten one by one.

Not only him, almost all the people are like this.

After eating, Chen De planned to return the bowl, but Sun Jie said he would give it to him directly, thanked him a thousand times, and put the bowl into his arms.

The bowl had already been licked clean by him, and he didn't even need to wash it.

After the meal was over, Chen De gathered the refugees together again.

Sun Jie didn't get involved, just stood at the tent and watched quietly.

I don't know what he said. About half an hour later, Chen De brought these refugees to Sun Jie.

Without saying anything, he fell to his knees on the ground.

The hundreds of people in the back all knelt on the ground.

"Master is a Bodhisattva descending to earth, a villain, a villain has nothing to repay, nothing to repay!"

Chen De hit his head on the ground and cried loudly.

To be able to reward them with a bite of food in this troubled world is a great kindness.
