Chapter 1190 Zhu Si and Zheng Yue'e
Huang Ande is a "big customer" here, and almost every time he comes here, he buys a few women here, so as soon as he appears, someone makes way for him.Huang Ande was used to the scene here, and he didn't care about it at all. When he was choosing according to the standards given to him by Chief Zhu, suddenly Zhu Si patted his arm and cried out nervously:
"Brother Huang!"

"What are you doing?" Huang Ande was taken aback by him.

"Isn't that Yue Niu'er!" He said and pointed.

"What?" Huang Ande followed his fingers to look over, and saw a young woman with disheveled hair sitting blankly behind the side of the rope circle.

It took Huang Ande a while to realize—isn't this Zheng Yue'e, the daughter of Cao Wu's family in Dengzhou Shuiying?

This Zheng Yue'e is also a well-known girl among the family members of the soldiers in the Dengzhou Water Camp.Cao Wu's mother-in-law died early, Zheng Yue'e was the eldest daughter, and there were several younger siblings under her. She was the one who took care of the housework, so she developed a strong and capable personality.Not only did he dare to open his face and curse the Three Character Classic, but he could fight with sisters-in-law and aunts by pulling up his sleeves and tearing his hair and clothes in the street.He also once smashed the head of a prodigal boy who molested her with a pitcher. In short, he is a master who never suffers.

Because of her fame and her heavy family, Zheng Yue'e has never had a husband's family despite her good looks.Cao and Zhu are very close to each other, and Zhu Si has some feelings for her.I often go to help with some heavy work, and the flirting eyes understand each other.But when Zhu Siyi thought that she still had five or six younger siblings to support, it would be a heavy burden if she really wanted to be this brother-in-law—the two families are ordinary battalion soldiers, and they cannot support their families with military pay—he has been hesitating Indecision.

Huang Ande spent some days at Zhu's house, listening to Zhu Si muttering about this all the time, but he didn't expect that she was also arrested!
At this moment, the face of this little girl who was always famous for her pungentness was swollen, and there were blood stains at the corner of her mouth.His body was full of whip marks, as if he had just been tortured.His eyes were dull, and there was still a little smirk at the corner of his mouth—the original sly and aggressive expression on his face was completely gone.Just like a stupid idiot.

"Master Huang, are you interested?" The rebel steward who was guarding next to him immediately came over and asked when he saw him pointing his eyes.

"This woman?" Huang Ande nodded.

"Oh, it seems to be called Yue'e or Heng'e." The manager took a look and knew, "The embryo is not bad, but he is a bit crazy and silly. He went crazy a few days ago, and he would be honest if he smoked... Otherwise, he wouldn't have been dumped by General Zhao."

"How can you be crazy and stupid?" Zhu Si rushed to ask, and Huang Ande gave him a look before he felt that he had made a slip of the tongue: This is the den of the rebels, even if he is confident, it is not a place where he can talk nonsense.

The other party didn't take it seriously: "How could it be? It's just that my mother was killed, and I just couldn't think about it for a while, so I was confused. What new tricks can I have? She should be a girl, probably not the man who killed her. son."

Seeing that Huang Ande and his entourage were quite interested in this woman, he took the opportunity to say: "Master Huang, if you like her and think she can still serve you, you can take two taels of silver with you - this little one is a good deed. She Like this, those who can’t be sold are kept as camp prostitutes, and sooner or later they will be ruined to death.”

Huang Ande hesitated, two liang of silver is indeed very cheap, but looking at her like this, she is guilty of stupidity.When the chiefs choose people, the first thing is not to have people with disabilities.What's more, if you buy it for him with silver, most of the women will serve as concubines and maidservants for the chiefs in the future. How can you explain to a crazy woman when you go back?

Zhu Si kept pulling on his sleeve.Huang Ande knew that this young man was very interesting to Zheng Yuee, and wanted to save her - if he didn't buy it, Zheng Yuee would be just like what the manager said: sooner or later he would be ruined to death.

The death of a helpless little girl is nothing here: the ditch outside the "bazaar" is full of corpses, and she is not necessarily more pitiful to the women who are still suffering in the circle of people , more worthy of rescue.

But Zhu Si's expression made Huang Andra unable to bear this face.Zhu Si's eldest brother, Zhu San, used to be with his brother-in-law, because he stole the official warehouse with him and lost his head.After sneaking into Dengzhou by himself, Zhu Si followed him through life and death -- no matter what, they were all good brothers of his family.

But this is selfishness—Huang Ande is well aware of the temperament of Australians: there are rules in everything, and there is a system in everything.Special emphasis on "discipline" and "obedience to orders".

However, looking at Zhu Si's expression, and then at Zheng Yue'e who had been smiling foolishly.Huang Ande hesitated for a moment, then asked Zhu Sidao: "You want me to save her. After saving her, are you willing to have her?"

"Little brother is willing!"

"She looks like this, maybe she can't cook, and she can't raise children, are you willing?"

"Little brother is willing!" Zhu Si replied very simply.

"In that case, I'll buy it for you." Huang Ande said a few words to the manager, and the manager immediately nodded and promised to reduce a few more money.

After doing such a thing, it is naturally difficult to explain it when I go back. Huang Ande thought for a long time, and then he said: Silver, use his own military salary to make up for it-although I don't know how to exchange circulation coupons and silver, but I have a lot of savings, probably Enough.This time Dengzhou's military merits offset the violation of discipline.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved, and chose another five or six women to spend the quota of 20 taels of silver.

After covering the stamp, the two came out and walked dozens of steps. Zhu Sicai called out with red eyes: "Brother Huang..."

"Stop talking," Huang Ande patted him on the shoulder, "I'm not for you..." As he was speaking, someone touched his foot suddenly. He looked down and saw a man curled up in a rag The woman in the middle crawled to his feet, she was skinny and almost out of shape, she tried her best to stuff a rag package under his feet, and begged in a barely audible voice:

"Good job...Master, give him a way to survive..."

Huang Ande took a closer look, but there was a dead child in the rag package, probably dead for some time, and flies were all over his face.He couldn't help but shrank his feet in disgust, and hurried forward a few steps.As if fleeing, he took Zhu Si forward and walked quickly.

After walking dozens of steps, I felt very unbearable again, and came back: Even if the child is hopeless, this woman will always have a breath, and after being rescued, she may come back to life after a few full meals.I violated the discipline once, and I am not afraid of violating it a second time.

However, when he came back, the woman had died.The two handymen were shuffling towards the ditch where the corpses were dumped, and the woman still held the dead child tightly in her arms.

The sun was very dazzling, and Huang Ande was a little dizzy.He glanced at this hell-like "bazaar" full of mourners, and thought of Lingao—that was another world. He couldn't help but look up at the scorching sky and asked loudly, "Senate, yours?" When will rain and dew spread all over the world!"

The population that Huang Ande bought has gathered at the designated place.There are more than a dozen large grass sheds dedicated to them.Cao Qing specially led dozens of townships to take care of this matter: the refugees who had been stamped were sent here, and after the stamp was checked, each person was given a straw hat first-reused.Then give out two pieces of rice biscuits mixed with soy flour to give these refugees some physical strength, and each person is given a bamboo tube of light salt water-there is no water to drink in the aisle in summer, and there will be a lot of heatstroke.

On the return journey, most people had to walk on foot. Of course, the women bought with money were treated differently. As usual, there was a light mule cart for them to ride.Huang Ande brought with him more than a dozen standard military two-wheeled transport vehicles pulled by a single mule or a single horse, which were full of relief rations for the exchange population.It is used to transport children and infirm people on the return journey.

In addition to the population, there are also all kinds of goods sold in the market, so Lu Wenyuan will not miss such an opportunity.Huang Ande's task is to place an order for something he likes - the specific payment and inspection are made by Zhu Mingxia himself: this is not like buying and selling people, goods and goods are touching people's hearts, and it is hard to guarantee that you will meet desperadoes who are looking for money but not life.

According to the procurement guidelines given to them by the Planning Institute, the first is livestock: horses, donkeys, mules, and cattle.In addition to capturing a large number of horses and livestock for military use, the rebels also plundered a large number of livestock from the people.The rebels had so many livestock that when the rebels were defeated in Huang County, Xie Sanbin, the inspector of Shandong Province, was able to organize a large-scale transport team to supplement tens of thousands of officers and soldiers with only the donkeys and mules discarded by the rebels. , and it will be fully replenished in three days.

The rebel army also attaches great importance to livestock, but the rebel army does not have a complete logistics system. It is a locust-like supply that eats all the way, kills and loots all. The livestock cannot be fed and rested well, and it will not take long Overworked, it can only be used to eat meat.Seeing that this was an opportunity, Lu Wenyuan negotiated with Kong Youde, agreeing to exchange silver or grain for the surplus livestock of the rebels.These livestock were also sent to Zhaoyuan, where the livestock are raised—the vegetation is lush in summer, and as long as someone takes care of them, the livestock can quickly recover.

However, the livestock sent to the "bazaar" is still very limited. For most rebels, killing and eating meat is the easiest way to deal with it.Therefore, in many cases, Huang Ande mainly buys the by-products of livestock: leather and hoof horns.These are the raw materials needed by Lingao industry.Originally, Lu Wenyuan also bought animal bones, but when he found out that the rebels mixed human bones and sold them to him, he stopped this kind of buying activities.

A lot of "commodities" that the Planning Institute is more interested in came to the market today-metal devices.These metal parts were obviously looted from the people and shops, and they were piled up in a huge pile.There are all kinds of utensils in it.Huang Ande even found a few temple bells.
