Chapter 883 (1/2)
North City refugee camp.
Refugees come and go, go and come.
In the summer, there was a truce between the two armies.
On hearing of the truce, countless refugees began to pack their bags and prepare to leave for home.
No matter how the staff explained, it was only a temporary truce. The war did not really end, or some refugees refused to listen and insisted on going back.
If you can't stop it, you can't stop everyone.
I know that the refugees are thinking about the land, the house and the crops in their families, hoping to have a little harvest this year.
The staff sent off batches of refugees.
Throughout the summer, the huge refugee camp seemed a little empty.
Some of the refugees who did not leave the camp after listening to the advice at the beginning began to regret when it came to autumn.
They accused the staff of delaying their return home.
Originally, there was still a little harvest this year, but now the autumn harvest has passed, and this year there is no harvest.
The refugee camp is in a mess, and people's minds are moving.
Every day, there are people with their families, big bags and small bags, riding donkey cart, mule cart, planning to go home.
As a result, before they got to their hometown, they heard that the North veterans had gone south again and the war had started again.
So they went back to the camp again.
The people who left in summer are even more miserable.
Many people live in the vast countryside, where the border army cannot guard. Of course, it was looted by Beirong army.
Beirong army looted along the way, a village along a village.
The farmers who had just finished the autumn harvest were brutally ransacked and killed.
The lucky man escaped.
Unfortunately, they died or were captured and became slaves of Beirong.
Once again, the refugee camp was full of refugees from all over the north, all in a state of melancholy.
There was a sad smell in the air.
Many refugees who did not leave after listening to the advice cheered up.
The court is unreliable, but the words occasionally said are trustworthy.
……
Mr. Cao's family has lived in the cement house for several months.
Every day, Mr. Cao went to the shack area opposite the official road. Every time he came back, his face was heavy.
”Lao Zhang's first family is left with him and his little grandson. A dozen or so people in the family died. Ah... ”
”None of the old Li family in Dongtou survived.”
Cao Xu, the wife of master Cao, worshipped the Bodhisattva and said something on her mouth.
Hearing Cao's nagging, Cao Xu murmured in a whisper: ”it's lucky that I didn't go back with them after listening to Dalang's words. Otherwise, we don't know how many we can keep. ”
Master Cao frowned deeply, ”this battle, I'm afraid, can't be finished in a year and a half.”
Cao Xu suggested in a low voice, ”listen to Dalang more in the future. He's been out all day and he's got a lot of insight. ”
Cao looked at his wife, ”what do you mean? Do you think I'm too old to work and eat
As soon as master Cao was angry, Cao Xu's family did not dare to gnaw.
Cao Dalang came back with a registration certificate in his arms, which was very precious.
Mr. Cao yelled at him, ”where are you going to get lost? I haven't seen anyone all day, and I haven't got the money back. Do you want to drink from the north and the west? ”
Cao Dalang panicked and soon calmed down. ”My son went out and helped people run several times. He cut two catties of meat back. Today, he has a tooth offering.”
”Can you go out? Is it not to say that refugees are not allowed to enter and leave the camp at will? ” Cao Xu was worried about his son.
Cao Dalang chuckled and couldn't hide his pride. ”My son has long been familiar with the general who guards the gate. Now he can go in and out at will. You can also enter the city with your waist card. ”
”Did you go to the capital?” Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law has an envious face. She dreams of entering the capital to have a look.
Cao Dalang laughed, ”I got the trust of the owner. I went to the city twice today and pulled several trucks.”
Cao Xu got out of the bamboo chair, put on his shoes, and pulled out the meat Cao Dalang bought from the back basket.
”The meat is to be eaten separately, not to be eaten in one meal.”
With that, he would open the cupboard with the key and try to hide half of the meat.
Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law was very dissatisfied and winked at him frequently.
Cao Dalang quickly stopped Cao Xushi, ”Niang, the family hasn't smelled the meat for a long time. The two catties of meat have been made this evening.”
Then he snatched the pork from Cao Xu's hand and handed it to his daughter-in-law.
Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law got the meat and ran away for fear of mischief.
He was so angry that Cao Xu scolded his daughter-in-law at the door.
The contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is ignored by men.
In a heavy tone, Mr. Cao talked to Cao Dalang about the disaster stricken villagers.
After listening to it, Cao Dalang also looked sad.He wiped his face and was very glad, ”fortunately, my son stopped my father and didn't go back with them at the beginning, otherwise our family would die a few times.”
”Don't talk nonsense. If you don't die, don't mention it again. ”
Cao Dalang said with a smile, ”the son will listen to his father and will not mention death.”
Cao's forehead is full of ditches.
He gazed at Cao Dalang and asked for the first time: is he old? Can't insight keep up with the times? Can he still be the master of this family?
