Volume One The Great Road Is Like the Blue Sky One Hundred and Fifteen Inside and Out

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Pinghaihou Mansion has turned into a large construction site.  There are noisy crowds and busy construction everywhere.

    Wang Kai carried the 900 kilogram stone bar on his shoulders, and then moved it to the roof step by step along the steps.  He walked very steadily, without a trace of tremor, and every time he put down the stone bars, he made no mistakes.

    Not far away, another companion was making iron nails.

    Naked to the waist, he wielded a hammer and struck rhythmically.  Seeing Wang Kai coming down, he gave Wang Kai a thumbs up to express his admiration.

    In two hours, Wang Kai delivered a total of thirty-two stone bars, and his head was only slightly sweaty.

    Wang Kai also laughed. That man worked for two hours without a break, and his rhythm was not disordered. His speed was 12 times that of an ordinary blacksmith. Wang Kai also admired this skill.

    He didn¡¯t know him personally, but he came to take a look because he heard that the Dragon Girl Hall was recruiting filial sons and asking for help in building a house.

    Originally, I had the mentality of teasing, but I was stunned by the scenery in front of me.

    "One filial son will be fun to everyone, ten will be considered a group, but what about thousands or ten thousand filial piety?"

    Those immature, fearful, innocent, and hopeful children, looking at adults like them, who would not be shocked?

    At the gate of Dragon Girl Hall, dramas of joys and sorrows are staged every day. Many parents who send their children over cry bitterly while holding their children.

    Wang Kai is not a good person, he has also done things like killing people and stealing goods.  But that day, he made a decision.

    No matter what happens tomorrow, he will work part-time in Pinghaihou Mansion for a period of time, for the sake of those children and for his own conscience.

    Even if he kills the parents of those children tomorrow and takes away their food.  But he can proudly say that I worked in Pinghaihou Mansion.

    He gave a false name and came to Pinghaihou Mansion to help out every day.  Then, he was surprised to find that there were many people there.  When I came to Pinghaihou Mansion, I was doing the same thing as him.

    However, when you think about it, it¡¯s not surprising, because everyone has a head start.

    The boiling water that was originally gurgling was suddenly thrown into a piece of ice.  Haizhou City, which was about to collapse, became much calmer.

    ??Everyone started to move with only one purpose, for the children in the city.

    Timber, stone and other items from outside the city were continuously imported to Pinghaihou Mansion.

    And the transparency with which the Dragon Girl Palace handles issues also made many people nod secretly.

    One stroke at a time.  Everything was listed one by one and posted at the door.

    Prefect Zhong Wendong opened the granary and left one-third of the food for the children.  This food, plus the food in Pinghaihou's mansion, is enough to feed one hundred thousand children for a year.

    As for the remaining food, is it enough for everyone to last for a year?  Many people choose to ignore it.  It's not enough to eat anyway, but it doesn't matter. The reason that determines whether you can eat enough now is not about how much food you have, but how high your martial arts is.

    In Pinghaihou Mansion, Wang Kai works very tired every day.  But looking at the built houses one after another, he was very happy.

    "Lao Wang, are you interested in chatting with me?"

    After working for a few days, Wang Kai and the blacksmith Lao Zhang became familiar with each other.  The two of them chat sometimes.  While working, we brag together during breaks.

    On this day, while he was working, he suddenly received an invitation from Lao Zhang.

    "Of course, I also want to talk to you."

    For Wang Kai.  He has enough food for one person and the whole family is not hungry.  When the disaster happened, he hid a batch of food in the city. Although it was not too much, it was enough to feed one person for several months.

    And the most important thing is, with his moon-swallowing strength, when he gets there, he can't find any force to join him, or can he get something to eat?

    This is human beings. One moment they are angels, and the next moment they may be demons, but first, they must have their own strength.

    "Okay, Lao Wang, after work, come to my house and I'll treat you."

    An hour later, Lao Zhang¡¯s home.

    = Wang Kai did not expect that the old Zhang family was near Pinghaihou Mansion.

    Both sides of the street are blocked by high walls, leaving only trails that can be passed by people.  And Lao Zhang's home is in a mansion.

    "Lao Zhang, do you live here?"

    After entering the house, Zhang Kai felt a little strange.

    "Of course not, I used to be the bodyguard of this family. I am Zhang Lunping, I wonder, Lao Wang, have you ever heard of my name?"

    "Is Zhang Lunping the unparalleled iron rod?"

    Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "I am Wang Kai, Liuyang hand, I have admired the name of Brother Zhang for a long time."

    Both of them had heard of each other's reputation, so they laughed and talked in the living room, and the owner of the house also came out to greet them.?.

    That was a senior official who had retired from the imperial court, Li Shilang of the Ministry of War. He had been very kind to Zhang Lunping in the past, so Zhang Lunping became his bodyguard.

    Li Shilang also has good martial arts skills, but unfortunately he has never been in the world.

    Pinghaihou Mansion is located in the center of Haizhou City. The land price here is inherently high, and most people in this alley are either rich or noble. With their money, etc., everyone has hoarded a lot of food.  What is missing now is the power of protection.

    "Brother Wang, let's not talk nonsense. I think you have a very good character and have been respected for a long time. Are you willing to stay here? Brother Wang will never be treated badly here. We just hope that we can survive this disaster safely."

    Li Shilang's attitude was very kind, and Zhang Lunping also extended the invitation on behalf of the master.

    Turning the teacup in his hand, Wang Kai began to ponder.

    "Brother Wang, we don't want to compete with outsiders for food. The food here is enough for us to last for two or three years. According to Shen Yue, the ban on Haizhou City will be broken in one year at most.

    We just need to hold on here, that's all.  "

    Zhang Lunping pointed to the Pinghaihou Mansion not far away, sighed and said, "The outside world will become very cruel. If you don't kill people, people will kill you. Brother Wang should have some food storage, but when the time comes  , it is inevitable to get some lives on your hands. So, why not come here to protect Pinghaihou Mansion?

    We will not participate in the vendetta in Haizhou City. Here, once a mob attacks the Pinghaihou Mansion.  Or the Pox Goddess attacks, we can also help them, right?"

    Wang Kai knew that Zhang Lunping¡¯s words were just a step up.  No matter how powerful the mob is, can they break through the Pinghaihou Mansion under the protection of Dragon Girl Palace? It's just that these people want a good excuse.  At the same time, he was protected by the Dragon Lady Palace.

    But, what¡¯s wrong with this?

    It¡¯s not that Wang Kai doesn¡¯t want to do good things, the question is, where is the food?

    After finishing speaking, Zhang Lunping mentioned a dozen more names, each of which was famous in the world.

    "They. There are many people living around here, and everyone will form a bond. Brother Wang, stay here. We can't save those people, but we can save those children."

    Wang Kai said nothing.  Looking out of the open window.

    The scenery outside is not beautiful. The trees have been cut down and turned into wood and entered the warehouse.  The garden became a vegetable patch, and someone planted seeds in it.  The well in the yard is a source of clean water, and there will be no shortage of food here.  The guards from various families have joined forces and are patrolling everywhere.

    And where is his current residence?

    Every day you can see people breaking into other people's homes, and every day you can hear news of someone dying.  Although everyone is suppressing their emotions.  But after the children enter the Pinghaihou Mansion, then

    "Honey, after we send the child to Pinghaihou Mansion, we will go and kill the other doorman. He has a lot of food there."

    This was a private discussion between his neighbors, and the shy and sensible young man actually had his mind set on him.  You know, in the past year, the relationship between the two families has been very good!

    But Wang Kai didn¡¯t blame them.  When faced with the choice between his own death and the death of others, Wang Kai would make the same choice.  Now, no one can save the civilians outside, no one!

    "Why did you invite me to join? You don't know my details."

    Wang Kai asked one last question.

    "We all see what you have done these days. You are a good person. Come join us."

    "Okay, I agree."

    Wang Kai nodded.

    People need beautiful lies to deceive or convince themselves, especially when they stand by and watch.  Here, at least it is safe, and for most people, it is a paradise.

    = Within the walls is paradise, but what about outside the walls?

    In the eyes of many people, Jia Zhendao is a ruthless person who is extremely decisive in both his actions and his behavior.

    As one of the leaders of the carpenters' guild in the city, he has a large number of subordinates.

    After hearing Shen Yue¡¯s inference about the blood sacrifice in Haizhou City, he left Haizhou City with a group of his men.  There were thirty-two people in total, half of whom had learned martial arts.  Jia Zhendao spent all his savings to buy bows, arrows, armor and weapons on the black market.

    Relying on these things, they came to a farm, killed the small landowner there, and obtained a batch of grain.  As a son of a farmer, he knows very well that country people have the habit of hoarding food. For them, food is money.

    After the operation was completed, no one under his command would question Jia Zhendao's decision. With so much food, it would be impossible to believe it if it were in the city.

    "Brother, this food is enough for us to eat for a long time. How about we rest here for a few days? Anyway, it is very remote here and there is no one."

    "Yes, brother, there are two women in the barn. After the brother shows off his talents for a while, don't forget to leave a mouthful for the brothers.  "

    "Nonsense, don't delay, everyone, pack your things immediately. Don't leave any of these grains behind. There is a canyon on the hill behind, which is very hidden. Everyone is hiding there.

    There are many experts in Haizhou City. When everyone reacts, all the surrounding villages are targeted for raids.  "

    He stretched out his hand and scanned the sketch.

    "The first month will be the most dangerous time. This farm will be constantly swept by people. Anyone who stays here is seeking death."

    ¡°Brother, it¡¯s not that mysterious, is it?¡±

    One brother said disapprovingly, "Brother, we might as well"

    "Bang!" He punched the brother in the face hard, "Go, go quickly!"

    We have to rush for time now, how can we delay it so much?
