Chapter 25 blue robe

The official road was still sealed, and all the travelers were trapped in the Wugu City. What they got was an evasion order with an indefinite time, waiting for the king's troops to pass through. It will be reopened, but from the officials to the well-informed people in the market, no one knows when the king's troops will arrive in the city of grains. The Wugu Pagoda in the north of the city has a unique location. There is an elm forest under the pagoda, making it the best camping place for the refugees. The refugees ate up the dried fruits and breads worshiped in the tower room to worship the God of Wugu. They also took away the candlesticks for burning incense and made them into bowls. To scoop water and drink, the residents stopped going to the Wugu Pagoda to worship gods and burn incense. Instead, small traders from the city came. They dragged reeds, cooking stoves and firewood to set up stalls outside the woods. They saw that the elm trees were already bare. , Some people climbed on the elm tree and shook the tree, and the peddlers shouted at the tree, you have eaten all the leaves and even stripped the bark, what are you still shaking?The person on the tree said, see if you can shake the worms down, the worms can also be eaten!Vendors wanted to sell reed mats to the refugees to sleep on. The refugees walked past the reed mats without even looking at them. The vendors said, how can you sleep on the ground in such a cold day?Sleep on the reed mat!The refugees said that it was cold, and it was cold to sleep on the ground, and it was also cold to sleep on the reed mat. Who would waste that money?The firewood seller said, it’s cold to warm up the fire, come and buy some firewood, build a fire at night, everyone around will not be cold, you also need firewood to cook bark soup, how can you live without firewood?The refugees said that only firewood is used to live, we are not living, we are living, we don't need firewood!Someone said on the tree, we are counting the days, and when the king arrives, we will open the granaries and release grain, and then we will start to live when there is grain to eat. We can live as many days as we can get rations!The noodle seller is the only one who has business among the small vendors, but his business is very hard under the Five Grain Tower. When a homeless person bought him a noodle cake, several hands stretched out into the stove beside it. He couldn't handle so many hungry eyes with his eyes, and couldn't grasp so many greedy hands with his hands, so he just pushed the stove and went home. The refugees in the village cursed and said, I won’t sell you for money, don’t you know how to steal, steal the mud to eat, steal the leaves to eat, and steal the excrement in the latrine to eat!Although the noodle seller insulted everyone, he was still persuaded by the crowd, but he refused to accept the refugees' sincere invitation to stay, and even turned around and threatened them viciously, starving you to death!It seems that none of you are decent people, it's so cold, who is still wandering outside right now?

In the morning, some people climbed to the high grain tower to watch the king's men and horses. What they saw was a wilderness in late autumn, trembling in the first north wind. The wilderness had nowhere to go, and it was waiting silently. The people on the tower are watching the golden boat of the king, while the wilderness is watching a canal flowing in the legend. When the king comes, the boat is coming, and maybe the river of the canal will come rushing. There are always a few naughty children on the Wugu Tower, who deliberately deceive others. They cheered on the tower, bluffing, look, look, the canal is flowing, the golden boat is coming, and the king is coming!At first, some people were fooled by the children, some climbed up the tower when they heard the sound, and some ran straight to the city gate. Later, no matter how the children yelled, no one paid any attention to them, and the refugees began to gather under the tower to guess the king. Most people held an inexplicably pessimistic attitude, doubting whether the king would be able to pass through the city of grains within ten days and a half months, and doubting whether they would be able to leave the city of grains alive. manage?If he wants to dig a canal outside the Wugu City on the spot, everyone will suffer. What are you waiting for to open a warehouse to release grain? No one wants to leave, no one wants to go home. Men, women, old and children, stay and do river work. !

Everyone climbed up the Wugu Pagoda to search for the king's trace, only Binu squeezed to the top of the pagoda to see the shadow of Dayanling.The children occupying the top of the tower have all seen that strange woman. In the morning, she was escorted back to the elm forest by the guards at the north gate, with a black emblem stamped on her left hand. At noon, she was pushed all the way by the guards at the east gate. At the foot of the tower, the refugees saw a black emblem stamped on her right hand, and many of them couldn't help shouting, you stupid girl, don't run outside the city anymore, you have your left hand and your right hand, if you run again, you will die. If you don't cover the emblem, you will be beheaded on the spot!Later, Binu stopped running outside the city. She stood on the tower and looked towards the north. One stop lasted for an entire evening. The children said, "You silly girl, you know how to look at mountains, and you can't see your husband even when you see Dayanling. What if I saw your husband?Even hares are not allowed to pass on the official road, you can't reach Dayanling!Binu looked at the shadows of the birds in the sky in bewilderment, she said, if only I were a bird, I would be able to fly over if I grew wings!
