Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 129 We will solve the food problem

At this moment, many women came in pushing several carts of steamed buns.

They were sallow and thin, but they were happy.

They knelt down before starting to speak.

The leading woman had tears in her eyes: "Thank you to the military master for rescuing us from the Beiyan people. We collected flour and meat and made this bun for the military master to express our gratitude."

The hoarse voice rang in the silence.

The woman spoke loudly again: "We will always remember the Bai Jiajun and Huo Jiajun who saved us from fire and water, and our descendants will also remember the kindness of these military men."

Everyone kowtowed in unison and said in unison: "Thank you for your hard work, military men. I wish you good food!"

After saying that, the leading woman led everyone and distributed the hot buns to everyone.

Holding the fragrant buns, the soldiers, who were already hungry after fighting all night, couldn't help but feast.

But before they put the bun into their mouths, they all looked at Bai Mingwei in unison.

It wasn't until Bai Ming nodded slightly that the soldiers started to eat hungrily.

As the buns slid down their esophagus and warmed their stomachs, their hearts and bodies seemed to feel warm as well.

It turns out that it doesn’t matter whether the flag is hung on the city wall or not.

Their dedication has long been imprinted in the hearts of the people.

At this moment, they are undoubtedly proud and proud to be Bai Jiajun!
Bai Mingwei ate the steamed buns and observed everyone's expressions.

Although she dismissed most people's thoughts, she understood that there were also a small number of people who joined the army just to find a way out.

Having said good things, benefits should also be given.

So she said: "Before leaving, the ladies and girls of the Bai family all used their private funds to collect a considerable amount of money."

"This part of the money is from the heart of our Bai family. In addition to the official reward for killing the enemy, I will give you another share."

"From now on, if I, Bai Mingwei, have a bite to eat, I will never treat my brothers badly!"

Everyone was already in mixed moods, and when they heard Bai Mingwei's words, they had even more mixed emotions.

Although no one can resist the temptation of money, no one has any unwillingness to give up at this time.

After finishing eating the buns, Wei Xiao stood up and said, "I, Mr. Wei, would like to say a few words. Although I have not been in the army for a long time, I still know some rules."

"Just the merit of recovering a flat city will not make us promoted or rich. At most, it will only be a monetary reward."

"But if the people who died tragically on the city wall last night are investigated by the superiors, they will definitely be punished."

"Miss Bai is protecting us. Don't look at petty profits and end up harming Miss Bai."

Everyone shook their heads quickly, saying that they would never hurt Miss Bai.

Wei Xiao didn't say anything anymore.

After this incident, they once again saw Bai Mingwei's responsibility to lead by example, and they became clearer about the goals they should implement.

The [-] soldiers whose bones were buried in Yinshan Mountain are an immortal legend in the hearts of the people.

What they want to do is to be that kind of hero!
Finally, Bai Ming let out a long sigh of relief.

At this time, she received another good news.

Of the 1 people brought to Pingcheng, 890 were killed and 750 were seriously injured.

This loss was smaller than the Yao Cheng battle.

But the number of casualties still made Bai Ming slightly breathless.

At this moment, a woman next to the cart suddenly picked up a little boy and spanked him hard on the buttocks.

The little boy was in pain and burst into tears.

Everyone's attention was attracted, but the woman still didn't stop and cursed: "I let you steal! I let you steal!"

The little boy cried heartbreakingly and kept begging for mercy: "Mom, stop fighting, I didn't steal! I didn't steal..."

The woman continued to beat her: "I told you to lie! I told you to lie!" But there was also a hint of sobs in her voice.

Bai Mingwei walked over and stopped the woman: "Sister-in-law, don't beat the child like that."

The woman turned her head and wiped her tears, but did not continue the beating.

Bai Mingwei squatted down, patted the little boy's shoulder gently, and asked softly: "Tell sister, what's wrong?"

The little boy was a little afraid of strangers, but seeing that Bai Mingwei meant no harm, he sobbed and said, "I...I was so hungry, so I went to lick the cloth on the drawer, and there was some dough on it."

"I didn't steal the buns, I really didn't steal them! Mother said these buns were for the military commander who saved us. I won't steal anything from the military commander."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent.

That mouthful of buns was stuck in his throat.

It doesn’t smell good anymore, and it doesn’t taste good either.

The little girl who was looking for her father last night had already said that the food of the people of Liangcheng was stolen by the Beiyan traitor.

What food is left in the people's homes?
These buns made from bits and pieces were probably the food they secretly hid in a corner of their home when the Yan army raided the city. It was their last bit of support and protection.

But they didn't expect that they would give this life-saving food to Bai Jiajun.

Bai Mingwei handed over his bun: "Here, my sister gave this to you. You can eat it. It's not stolen."

The little boy quickly stuffed it into his mouth and ate it hungrily.

The woman immediately reached out to stop him, trying to snatch the bun back and give it back to Bai Mingwei.

But because of her behavior, the little boy ate too quickly and choked on the bun.

The little boy coughed violently until his face turned red, then he swallowed the bun.

When the woman saw her son in such a state, she felt ashamed and felt distressed.

But she still told Bai Mingwei: "Girl, when we are hungry, we can go to the mountains to dig some wild grass and potatoes to satisfy our hunger, but you still have to defend the border, and you should eat well so that you have the strength to continue fighting."

These words made the soldiers' eyes turn red involuntarily.

In these troubled times, who hasn’t been hungry?
They know what it means to have only a small amount of food left at home.

It is something that cannot be easily moved even if the front of the chest is pressed against the back of the body due to hunger, and even if the head is dizzy.

That is the last hope of survival.

But it is precisely because of this that they have been rewarded in another form for their efforts to risk their lives and take risks.

They may be disabled in the eyes of others, or they may be feared bandits.

But at this moment, they discovered that they could also be respected.

It can also be worthy of others giving them the most precious things.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, this matter is trivial.

But for them, this is an affirmation of their efforts and the greatest appreciation from the people.

It's also something they once hoped for, but pretended not to care because they couldn't get it.

Bai Ming patted the little boy's head slightly, stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will find a way to solve the food issue, and we won't leave everyone with nothing to eat."

"At least until Yaocheng, Pingcheng and Liangcheng are connected to each other again and everyone can return to normal life, no one in Pingcheng will starve to death."

As soon as this statement came out, the woman was shocked.

Everyone was shocked!

For the tens of thousands of people in Pingcheng, even if it takes one month to complete the post-war reconstruction, tens of thousands of stones worth of food will be needed to feed them in this one month.

Where can I get so much food?
Even the imperial court would not be able to allocate so much food!

Everyone thought Bai Mingwei was crazy!

Including Bai Mingwei himself.
