Su Qi chuckled and smiled at everyone's enthusiasm. She knew some people wanted to take advantage of the situation, but how could Su Qi let them do that?
"Gu Xiuting, you arrange for the men to work. Each person must have a fixed amount of work to do. Anyone who tries to take advantage of the situation will be beaten with a stick first, and their food will be reduced by half today."
After a pause, Su Qi continued, "Sister-in-law Xiuming, I'll leave these women to you to take care of."
"Everyone is the same. Working here, there is no distinction between men and women, or the weak. I, Su Qi, only see the dead and the living. There are those who want to be beaten and not eat. You are just delaying the work."
Those who wanted to slack off: ...
Want to slack off and eat at the same time?
How to do it?
This life is unbearable.
He can even pretend to be dead and lazy at home, letting his hardworking brothers and sisters do the work.
Here?
This bandit woman is so cruel.
Su Qi gave the instructions one by one, then turned to look at Zhou Huaan with a proper smile:
"Master Zhou. Your men should also start working."
There shouldn’t be a single idle person, including your people as County Magistrate Zhou.
Otherwise, just get out of here and don't be an eyesore.
Zhou Hua'an seemed to understand Su Qi's hidden meaning. He nodded and began to arrange for people to work together with the people in Mingfeng Town.
As for those who went to the county town and other places, he repeatedly told them how to instruct Yao Zhubu and others to do their work.
Su Qi also fed everyone coarse grains. He had collected a lot of coarse grains from the villa of Duke Ru's Mansion and Xianyue Peak of Hulu Mountain.
Later, when the Northwest Army settled down, they were naturally given fine food.
Except for a portion of the coarse grains that were mixed with the fine grains and left for the original people of Xianyue Peak to eat, the rest was packed back by Su Qi.
Compared to Su Qi's ease in the town.
It was much more difficult for others who went to the village.
The mountain roads are difficult to travel and the villages are scattered.
Gu Beiheng and Ying Shi took a few troublemakers from Beishi and a dozen men from the town to Taojiazhuang.
Taojiazhuang is located at the intersection of mountains and rivers, with dangerous terrain and rugged mountain roads.
It takes quite a lot of effort to go up the mountain.
Several troublemakers in Taipei, including Shen Zhishan, who had a group of laborers carrying heavy bags at the docks, and Luo the blacksmith from the Taipei blacksmith shop.
These people followed Gu Beiheng and had two ideas.
If Gu Beiheng was in danger, the people in Beicheng would quickly unite and take care of him.
If Gu Beiheng really has the ability, courage and leadership.
They can join him.
It can be seen that Gu Beiheng does not seem to be an ordinary person.
Gu Beiheng knew what kind of shit and urine these people were pooping without even looking.
There were even more troublemakers in the Northwest Army, but they were still subdued by him, weren't they?
He is not afraid of what these people think.
"Master. The road into the village is difficult to walk on. I will go and explore the way first." Ying Shi stood next to Gu Beiheng, holding two homemade sticks in his hands.
Everyone carried a backpack with food and pills on their backs. The backpacks were all made on the spur of the moment by the women and girls Su Qi had organized in Mingfeng Town.
Gu Beiheng's eyes were dark, and there seemed to be no one in the village.
The silence was covered by heavy snow.
"Three people will go in groups to explore the way. The others will keep up and do their best to search and rescue." Gu Beiheng unscrewed the wine bag he carried with him and took a sip of Shaodaozi.
Each person who entered the village to search and rescue was given a bag of burning knives.
This wine is incredibly spicy and has a strong kick that goes straight to your head. A must-have for agar-agar days.
Everyone sped up.
Families in the village with plenty of firewood hid in the cellar, eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating in the cellar, and would emerge when the sun rose.
Only then did I realize that the village was blocked by heavy snow.
Can't get out.
Many people's houses were also buried by heavy snow.
A dozen men put on clothes they could wear at home, and some even wrapped themselves in quilts. They gathered together and discussed anxiously:
"What should we do?"
Hunter Tao Daqiang, wrapped in a wolfskin robe, exhaled a breath of hot air. "Let's split into three groups and go find the rest of the village."
"Big Head, take four people to the end of the village. Start the search from Fifth Grandma's place. Zu Miao, take four people and start the search from the south. The others will follow me and search from the north."
Seeing that everyone was standing together without any rules, Tao Daqiang was just worried and anxious. He quickly assigned tasks.
Everyone thought about it and there was no better way.
It would be better to listen to Tao Daqiang and disperse with the shovels at home.
Gu Beiheng brought Shen Zhishan and several others from Beishi City into the village from the north. "Master Gu, there is a family here."
"Find the room and the kitchen first. These two places are easiest to hide people. In the kitchen, focus on finding the cellar." Gu Beiheng ordered everyone in a cold voice.
"Yes." Shen Zhishan's men dispersed.
They all come from poor families, so now that they have the opportunity, let them do something good.
You should do your best.
Shen Zhishan rushed over and shoveled snow towards the kitchen. "Hey, is anyone there? If anyone's alive, please make some noise."
"I, your Master Shen, live on the brink of death. I lead people to fight for territory, kill, and rob at the docks all day long. It's rare for me to do good deeds. You have to give me this face."
Shen Zhishan shouted loudly, but his actions were not vague at all.
People who fight and kill all day long are stronger than others.
He is very careful in doing his work.
Gu Beiheng stepped forward and stood still, then plunged the stick in his hand straight into the snow cave.
A loud shout.
The thick snow spread out.
He dug open the snow cave. "Shen Zhishan, shovel out the snow here."
"Here I come."
Shen Zhishan tightened the wine bag and swallowed the Shaodaozi. This wine was so damn strong, even more manly than what he usually drank.
The movement of Gu Beiheng and the others alarmed Tao Daqiang and others.
"Daqiang. Is there anyone coming to our village?"
"I heard some noise. What's that about licking blood from a knife? Could it be that they are coming to rob us in this godforsaken place?" The man next to him had poor hearing and could only hear the noise.
Tao Daqiang covered it with a slap.
"Besides a broken water tank, what else do you have in your house that would be worth someone coming all the way to rob? You have no brains and think the robbers have no brains either?"
"I have a blind mother at home." The man next to him stiffened his neck and said unconvincedly.
"Do you think the bandits need a mother?" Tao Daqiang had already rushed over. "Let's go and take a look."
By the time Tao Daqiang and his men arrived, Gu Beiheng, Shen Zhishan and his men had already dragged out the person buried in the kitchen.
