Chapter 553

But when he turned around, he saw the people around him. They wolfed down one by one. Even a little bit of slag fell off was carefully held in their lapels. After eating a cake, he didn't forget to carefully take all the slag into his palm and send it to the entrance. After he really achieved a state of no waste, Gu Zheng's original intention to spit out the residue in his mouth stopped.

No, his behavior is too strange. It doesn't look like the behavior that a corvee should have.

The hungry stomach and the body in urgent need of energy are telling him that we need to eat, we need protein and carbohydrates.

This man can endure all kinds of hardships in order to live.

Now is not the time for hypocrisy, or eat!

With a big swallow in his throat, the feeling of roughness became more and more obvious. Only three or two mouthfuls, Gu Zheng couldn't help but pick up the soup bowl next to him and took a wild sip of the soup that looked equally bad to send down the rough steamed cake.

Huh?

Bean soup?

In order to supplement the civilian husband's physical strength, a little salt was added. Although it was very light, the beans were only inferior products such as bean skin and Bean Stalk, but surprisingly, it was not difficult to drink.

With the soup delivered, Gu Zheng finally ate the meal clean. When he got up again and returned the soup bowl, his body had recovered a bit of strength because of this period of repair and filling his stomach.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, and it was no longer a good time to continue working.

The foreman in the site didn't bother these people any more. Instead, he asked everyone to put their tools in a pile, and then drove them to the rest place above the dam.

Finally, Gu Zheng can rest. Gu Zheng's heart is calm, but his eyes are not idle. He is trying to observe the surrounding terrain and environment, hoping to provide some vital help for his future road after receiving his memory.

When he arrived at his destination, Rao was already used to the hard life in the new world, and Gu Zheng was stunned by the environment.

The so-called houses for civilian men to rest are just temporary sheds with broken wood and rotten leaves and some materials such as withered grass.

Among them, some soft plants are laid casually, even the beds of these people.

Those colorful ragged bedding, at first glance, were brought out of their own homes when the farmers came to serve the corvee.

I don't know how long I worked here. A smell of mildew came out from the open room.

Gu Zheng hesitated at the door of the rows of low and bent small rooms, but he finally found his place under the greeting of the familiar middle-aged man in today's day.

"Zheng Zi, what are you doing there? Don't hurry into the house and have a rest. Be careful. The soldiers on patrol will catch you as a civilian who wants to escape. You will be punished by whipping you ten times in the street."

"Oh, come on."

At the end of the daze, Gu Zheng, with a grateful face, lowered his head and bent down and drilled into the room pointed by the uncle.

This is a triangular shed. There is not much space in it. There are only two empty positions. You can enter it, either sit or lie.

The height of the house... Can't accommodate Gu Zheng to stand up.

He took advantage of the only light outside to observe the inside. He found a broken quilt that was not too serious. After thinking about it, he went in.

Seeing that the old uncle behind him didn't express any doubt, he was finally relieved in his heart.

He didn't make a mistake. Judging from his physical condition, the young client thought he had just arrived at the construction site for a short time. Otherwise, with such bad living conditions and such a great work intensity, his body had not been as strong as it is now.

……

The air in the room is very dull. Even familiar people have no interest in talking. Gu Zheng, covered with a quilt, gently closes his eyes and receives the memory of the world belonging to the client.

When he opened his eyes again, Gu Zheng couldn't sleep.

He felt that he had fallen into a pit, a huge pit that huge manpower could not violate.

Because the identity of the client is a civilian husband who is building the Grand Canal, and the fate of the civilian husband is too bumpy.

His hometown is just between Tongji canal and Yongji canal. Qilu is a small village with many mountains.

Adhering to the principle that the whole country collects civilian husbands nearby, their hometown has become a disaster area for labor recruitment.

People in Qilu are honest and straightforward. To let them work is to bury their heads in death.

After they worked hard and worked overtime to survive the Tongji canal built in the first three years, they thought they could be liberated and go home. This group of people turned around and were taken to the construction site of Yongji canal in the northwest of their hometown and continued to repeat their work year after year.

When the client, who did not know whether he was lucky or unlucky, survived the corvee of the new channel for three years, climbed out of the buried bone of nearly 30 million dead, and returned to his hometown, he found that he had no home for a long time.

……

The whole village is dead.

All the young people who could work were transferred to the front line of corvee, leaving only the helpless old and weak women and children.

If so, people can stick to their hardships, but in the process of additional apportionment of grain collection and taxation in order to build channels, the daughter-in-law who can't survive, remarried, and the old parents who can't eat enough, have to go to the unfathomable and dangerous mountains to make a living.

An old man in a village died of starvation when he couldn't move, and there was no news from anyone who could move. The Shenshan road full of traces of wild animals showed everyone's slim way of survival.

When the client fell into a confused state of looking around and not seeing the way ahead, and frantically pursued the clues to the survival of the villagers in the village, there appeared a long lost imperial servant who smelled the wind at the head of the village.

Because the completion of the Grand Canal is imminent. The purpose of this built Grand Canal is not for the people, but to fulfill a wish of the emperor.

That is to conquer the four directions and let Koguryo, who is full of spikes, worship the wild view at his feet.

The expeditionary army naturally needs manpower. In the eyes of the powerful emperor, what they need is not soldiers who go out to fight, but civilian men who provide them with expeditionary material transportation.

The unlucky client, who had just returned home for a few days, contributed his only remaining strength to the granary reserve of the capital.

He was dragged away again and entered the journey of the grain delivery team. This time, good luck did not care for the client.

Years of hard work destroyed his body, and the separation of his hometown broke his will.

A walking corpse, who has lost the will to survive, is quickly entangled by the following disease.

But one winter, there was another unnamed body on the bone burial ground of the Grand Canal.

After the initial River connection, the rolling yellow water flows with the water, and there is no trace of his survival in the world.

In his confusion, he didn't see the earthly reincarnation of ghosts and gods, but he was in chaos and lost his purpose.

At this time, a golden ball, like the most shining sun in the world, appeared in front of him and asked him what he had said to his heart for so many years.

"You have a wish yet? You should have been the one whose children should die. Have you ever been willing to live like this?"

After hearing this question, the floating client finally understood the reason why he had been wandering: because he was unwilling.

Not willing to do nothing for their own life, not willing to the fact that their children want to raise and don't wait for their relatives, not willing to work for who!

He also wants to live a lifetime for himself and his family.

Therefore, the client in front of the smile forget Book sincerely prayed: May I come back to life, get rid of my unnecessary labor, and save my villagers in this troubled world.

thank you very much.

It has been regarded as God's laughing and forgetting book. With the trick of playing tricks, two contracts have been created. After both parties have signed, Gu Zheng's soul will be led here.

Seeing Gu Zheng from the beginning to the end of the event, he just wanted to hang the smile and forget book!

This wish is so humble, but it is so difficult to complete.

When is it now?

The second half of the construction period of the Sui Grand Canal.

The people of the whole country are doing one thing, that is, building rivers.

The identity of the client is just a river worker among ordinary tens of millions of people. How can he use his own strength to bring his family and children to live in a village?

Into the mountains?

What do you eat?

Have you raised so many people yourself?

Rebellion?

I don't bring my own overlord color. Let people turn their heads and worship!

Although this series of actions will eventually evolve into that chaotic and strange situation, there are too many people who want to enter the game, and it's too hard for them to protect themselves in the wind and rain!

He needs to make a good plan for the follow-up.

For a moment, although Gu Zheng was very tired, he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep anymore.

Suddenly, outside the humble house, there was a loud sound, followed by the dazzling light of the torch from the huge gap of the wood.

The sound outside was intermittent, which woke up the old uncle who was about to fall into a deep sleep.

"Zheng Wazi, what's the matter? Why is it so noisy outside?"

Gu Zheng turned over, squatted at the crack of the door and looked out.
