Yang He gasped hard, feeling his body weak. He looked back at the refugees. All the people who came into contact with his eyes were stiff and they didn't dare to move. The scene just now shocked them too much.

The smell of blood in the hall was pungent and strong, with a faint smell of gunpowder. There were bloodstains everywhere, which was shocking.

Looking back, Yang He said lightly: "Secretary, take away everything."

Minister Yang responded loudly, and Yang He also came to several corpses. First, he took away the two archers' double insertion, especially his strong bow.

Yang He once thought that his good bow would never be seen again after he was lost, but he did not expect that he would be lost and regained it. The joy in his heart was indescribable.

In particular, his bow is not an ordinary bow, but a Kaiyuan strong bow. It uses a series of composite materials such as bamboo, cow horns, beef tendons, fish glue, mulberry wood, birch bark, lacquer, etc., and is well-made and belongs to the treasures passed down from ancestors.

Mao Yuanyi introduced the types of bows and arrows in the Ming Dynasty in "Wu Bei Zhi". Kaiyuan bow is a sharp weapon on the nine sides and is particularly rare in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. HN Huaibei mostly uses small bows, but it is incomparable to Kaiyuan bows.

With a strong bow in his hand, Yang He immediately felt much more at ease, which would quickly improve his combat effectiveness. The difference between humans and animals is that humans can use tools, and the difference between civilized people and barbarians is that civilized people can use more and better tools.

A bow bag and a quiver were combined into double inserts, and two pairs of double inserts were inserted on his belt, covering his cloak, and Yang He felt a great sense of security. Seeing Minister Yang collecting everything around, he looked at the man tied to the pillar.

He was not dead yet, and his deceased eyes were staring at him, blinking slightly, revealing an incomparable pleading look.

Yang He closed his eyes, he opened it suddenly, and a flash of sword light cut off the man's throat.

Looking back, the man's eyes were still open, but there seemed to be great gratitude and relief in it.

Looking at him, Yang He couldn't help but sigh at the fragility of life, and the lives of people in troubled times are as low as ants.

Minister Yang kept collecting the soldiers, searching out all the swords, daggers, gunpowder three-eyed guns, hand guns, fire sticks, etc., and picked up the soldier's red hat, bounced it and put it on his head. This hat would be more sophisticated than the folk red tassel felt hat.

He kept searching in the hall, and it could be seen that the wealth of these three soldiers and gangsters was placed in the hall, and Minister Yang kept finding some clothes, jewelry, silver, etc., which were obviously all the property obtained by the three people after they killed and robbed.

Of course, both of them didn't care about wealth and anything, and one hundred taels of silver was not worth a bowl of rice in Yang He's mind at this time. He just took it away when he was looking for it.

The refugees were still standing blankly, just peeking at Yang He from time to time. My sister Ying'er stopped crying at this time. Seeing Yang He stopping, she took her brother Yang Qian down to her side, holding Yang He's thighs but just being obedient and silent.

Yang He touched the heads of the two, and his heart was so sad that he couldn't say. He made his younger brother and sister worried every day. When is the head of this day?

Suddenly, Minister Yang's ecstatic voice came: "Young master, you have rice, dozens of kilograms of rice... Haha, these beasts, you can eat rice and eat people, they are really purebred beasts!"

"What, there is rice?"

Yang He was overjoyed, and there were still dozens of kilograms?

Sure enough, Minister Yang was coming over with a rice bag, and judging from the size, it was indeed dozens of kilograms.

The refugees there were also a commotion, but Yang He looked coldly and no one dared to move.

"Okay, move quickly!"

With rice, Yang He was no longer interested in plundering it, and he reminded Minister Yang now.

Minister Yang responded, pulled two cloth curtains from a corner of the wall, made two bags of what he had obtained, and then carried them with a copper stick.

Of course, he did not forget to put a clean large pottery bowl and wooden basin in it. There was no small iron pot, but the large pottery bowl could also be used for cooking, and the wooden basin could be used to wash faces and laundry.

Finally, Yang He looked around and took away all the useful things for him, and the rest was the big iron pot in front of him.

The pot was too big and too heavy to take it away, and there was still a pot of "meat" boiling inside. At this time, the water boiled and boiled, and it seemed that the fragrance continued to spread.

Yang He was rolling in his belly, not knowing whether he was hungry or disgusting, but the refugees also watched the pot, and many people's Adam's apples kept rolling up and down.

He looked at the slaughterhouse in front of him, the hell on earth, the ugliest place in the world, and a person's body was still hanging on it, which was so dazzling. Yang He suddenly kicked the pot over to the ground, and all the things inside poured out.

Then he picked up the firewood below and threw it into a pile of firewood and thatched trees beside the wall. The pile of firewood immediately started to burn.

He kept kicking the burning firewood everywhere, and finally the fire in the hall gradually grew.

Seeing the flames rising and sweeping around, Yang He looked cold and said quietly: "The fire will burn all the darkness!"

Then he turned around and walked out with his younger brother and sister and Minister Yang.

Wherever you go, every refugee avoids it in awe.

Seeing Yang He and the other four go out, the refugees shouted, searching for the rest regardless of the fire.

Tormented clothes, ragged clothes, bowls, chopsticks, and even the remaining clothes and belts of the three soldiers were stripped naked, and the big pot that was rumored to carry it.

...

"Young Master, there is also a station over there."

Yang He and the other four left the house. The most urgent task was to find a place with clean water to make fire and make meals.

They searched along the rubble and ruins on both sides of the street, and also saw several houses with not very damaged walls. Unfortunately, there were no wells inside. After reaching the east of the dike, Minister Yang suddenly pointed to a place and said.

Sure enough, there is a platform over there, with a dilapidated courtyard on it, which seems to be a courtyard that has been in several places. Although the buildings on the east and west sides and the north end are all abandoned, it can also be seen that the owner's previous status is very unusual.

Yang He and his men rushed into the house excitedly. In addition to building a dike wall outside in the low-lying area in the north, wealthy families inside also built soil platforms before building houses, and then the courtyard was built on it to prevent the flood, so the houses were flooded, which was called a platform.

This family has the financial resources to build a terrace and enter a large courtyard, so there must be a well built in the courtyard.

Sure enough, a well was found not far from the eaves of the west wing house. There was a stone-carved Buddhist pavilion erected beside the well, and a stone-faced water basin was next to it.

Then Yang He and the others were disappointed. Because the wing room was destroyed, some broken bricks fell into the well, but the well water was dirty and silted.

"No need to hurry, there must be a hidden well in the house."

Yang He said that he and Minister Yang searched carefully. Sure enough, under a broken wooden floor behind the main hall, he found a hidden well. You can see that the water level is still very high. There is a square hole and a huge rock left beside the well, with a water-burning wheel tied on it, and a bucket hanging on it.

Minister Yang easily brought a bucket of water and Yang He looked at it. The water quality was relatively clean.

After tasting it again, Yang He smiled and said, "Secretary, rest here and make fire and make rice."

Minister Yang responded happily, and his younger brother and sister clapped and cheered.

Yang He smiled. Many wealthy families have hidden wells, just like the Yang family's house, there is also such a hidden well.

The kitchen is on the east side of the main hall, which is also the origin of the East Kitchen. Minister Yang went to take a look. Although it was damaged, it was also available. The pots and pans were gone, but the stove was still there.

He walked back and untied the rice bag, took out the clay pot, grabbed a few rice from the rice bag, which was estimated to be about four kilograms, and it could be eight kilograms of rice cooked into it. Of course, more rice can be added with more water, but that would be sparse.

Minister Yang smiled and said, "Young Master, we have a full meal today."

Yang He smiled and nodded. He never expected that it would be so hard and so happy to eat a meal of rice.

Minister Yang cleaned rice and cleaned rice. Yang He told his younger brothers and sisters not to run around. He carried a saber to patrol the front and back of the house with a saber.

It can be seen that the house has a good foundation, and even the corners of the house are carved with exquisite brick carvings of auspicious beasts, which means the owner's desire for beautiful things. However, now it is all broken. Except for the main hall and the south gate, the rest are all in ruins.

Yang He went to a few houses to look at the furniture tables and chairs, or they were broken wooden boards. He also saw a golden nanmu stepping bed, which is now a pile of debris.

Fortunately, Yang He found a relatively complete table that could be used as a dining table.

When Yang He came back, he saw smoke rising from the kitchen, and his younger brothers and sisters were surrounding the kitchen door. He was obviously anxious and was waiting for food.

Yang He took out a wooden basin and face towel, then picked up a bucket of water from the hidden well, and then called his younger brother and sister: "Ying'er, Qian'er, come and wash your hands and face."

In front of the stone basin in front of the main hall, Yang He washed his younger brother and sister carefully, washed his face, and wiped away the dust on their faces and clothes. The basin of water was immediately extremely dark, and Yang He's white towel turned into a black cloth.

Then Yang He washed his hands and face by himself, wiped the dust on his clothes, and some places he could not wipe, so his sister Ying'er took the initiative to help him wipe it.

"Ying'er is so good."

Yang He picked up his sister and kissed her on the face. His sister Ying'er immediately started to giggle.

After finishing the hygiene before meals, Yang He pulled a piece of cloth to clean the table, washed the dishes and chopsticks, and put a cloth curtain under the table. Without a chair, several people knelt on the cloth curtain, which just realized the most orthodox way of sitting in the Han people.

Then Yang He became anxious. He had no intention of seeing the seized lots of things, just waiting for food.

The aroma of rice in the kitchen, the sound of stir-frying, and the smell of meat makes people feel restless.

Yang He never felt that time was so slow. His younger brother and sister sat upright on both sides of Yang He and kept protruding his head there.

finally.

"It's time to eat."

Minister Yang came in with a wooden board, a pottery jar and a large pottery bowl. It was filled with rice and rabbit meat. It immediately became hot and scented, and it seemed that the whole house was covered with fragrance.

"Young Master, Ying'er, Qian'er, are you anxious?"

Minister Yang said happily while placing the pottery jars and large pottery bowls on the table.

Yang He smiled and said, "No hurry, Ying'er, Qian'er, thank you for your hard work, why don't you thank him?"

"Thank you, my brother, minister."

Sister Ying'er said sweetly.

My younger brother Yang Qian was more restrained and said softly.

"Okay, so good...hehe...good..."

The boy touched his head, opened his mouth and just smiled.

He pretended to be a meal for the three of them, and tears suddenly burst out from his eyes, and he whimpered: "I didn't expect... I could have enough food..."

Yang Henei felt sour. He signaled Minister Yang to prepare food for himself as soon as possible, and then said, "Eat."

I picked up the rice and ate it first, and I felt the fragrance was filled with sweetness and tempting, and the heat made people warm all over my body. I couldn't help but slowly close my eyes.

"tasty."

My younger brother Yang Qian also said something.
Chapter completed!
