Chapter 2789: Not as Good as when We Were Captured
In the evening, the attack came to an end.
The team camped on the spot and rested in the pyramids that fell from the ground of Tomaredituo City.
The logistics personnel pushed the cooking utensils, broke off the newly harvested corn cobs and cooked them, and used the corn stalks to make fire.
The captives were divided into groups and worked under orders.
There were many old people, children, and women, who ran slowly and had poor physical strength.
The newly harvested corn did not need to be soaked in water, and it had not been dried and had moisture.
It was fragrant when boiled, but hard when cooked. The locals were used to eating it, so it didn't matter.
A group of pregnant and breastfeeding women were arranged separately, and the children were gathered together according to their age. Those who did not want to drink milk and could not eat hard things were gathered together.
The old people who were crushed were the same as these children, and they cooperated honestly.
When they separated, there was a burst of crying. The men tried to move in front of their women, and the women who were breastfeeding looked up at the winner with pleading eyes.
The food was ready, and it was not dark yet.
Those who were in good health got boiled corn and cooked salted fish, and drank the water for boiling corn in bamboo tubes.
The people who need special care have cornmeal and fish porridge, which is also in bamboo tubes. You can drink as much as you want until you are full.
The captives' emotions stabilized instantly, and the ignorant children smiled. Oh! It's better than what they usually eat.
Pregnant women and breastfeeding women got extra seasonal fruits. Since they had no milk to drink, children with immature teeth drank cold-pressed fresh juice.
After dinner, it was dark, and the captives were arranged to rest, sleeping on the platforms of the pyramid and lighting mosquito coils.
Each person was given two straw mats, one hard and one soft. The hard one was placed underneath and the soft one was covered on the body.
The fire lit up and attracted mosquitoes.
In the middle of the night, a woman's scream was heard. In the same pyramid, other people heard the noise. Some clenched their fists, and some covered their ears with their teeth.
Then the lights flashed, and a car rushed over. The car was driving around before. Someone was sick and the ambulance needed to help.
Now the pyramid is specially used to accommodate pregnant women. Three pregnant women are about to give birth at the same time. Scream!
When the cry of the newborns came out, many prisoners who were angry but dared not move nearby showed puzzled expressions.
They felt that the women who were not on their side were bullied. It seemed that there were pregnant women everywhere. It was better to find women from other places than to bully pregnant women.
At dawn, the war continued. Last night, someone ran all night with things on his back. At dawn, he could not run anymore and was caught and surrendered.
They did not have a wheelbarrow. How much could a person carry? The more they walked, the heavier it was.
After being caught, they were first given bamboo tube corn porridge to drink, with pickles, and they were not dead.
There were three more newborns on the parturient side, and the mother held them to feed them.
The airship came to deliver clothes, pure cotton, including diapers for all babies.
The three women who were in confinement and those who were in confinement before were given poultry eggs, the kind that could not be hatched, boiled in plain water.
Two goose eggs, or two duck eggs and chicken eggs, were given to the other breastfeeding children. One goose egg, one chicken egg and one duck egg were given. Either two chicken eggs were given but no duck eggs, because there were no duck eggs.
The captives who heard the noise last night saw that no one was paying attention, so they ran over to see if they could make sure.
When they saw that someone had eggs to eat, they thought that if they gave the same eggs to some women, they would not struggle.
Especially the female slaves, if they were fed well, they would be willing, very proactive.
This time the slaves were completely at ease, waiting for their own meals, two meals a day for those in good health, they were told.
Three meals a day for special groups, really given, it felt that being a captive was better than the previous life.
"Work, harvest corn, carry corn stalks back together for firewood."
The captives with normal health were shouted to work, and they were not afraid of them running away.
They had nothing left, where would they go after running away? Catch up with the people running over there, and then have no food to eat?
It's better to stay here, especially for women, parents and children who are slaves together, they can't run away by themselves.
The men of the three new mothers came and were allowed an hour of contact time, and then harvested corn.
A group of babies' changed diapers were taken to the river by the arranged people to be washed, given soap, washed and hung up to dry, waiting to be replaced.
The three men smiled when they saw their sleeping children. In less than an hour, they said a few words to their wives and turned around to collect rice.
They wanted to use practical actions to exchange for the safety of their wives and children. It was good enough to be alive.
The female captives who collected corn were responsible for breaking the rice, and the male captives were given a sharp sickle. Someone taught them how to cut corn vines.
Some male captives took the sickle and looked at the winner. The winner nodded and smiled, and then gestured on his neck: "I will die in one hit."
The male captive bent over to work. What a joke? I will die if I kill you. My family is here.
It was evening again, the war stopped, new captives appeared, and a lot of food was available.
The previous captives came back to hand in the sickle, and those with families were arranged together.
Normal people continued to eat boiled rice, salted fish, and chili sauce.
For pregnant women and children who had not grown all their teeth, the airship sent grouper stewed with tofu.
Slightly older children also had extra dishes, spicy stir-fried field mice, peeled and head and tail removed, cut into sections and stir-fried.
Look at the winners, they also eat boiled rice and salted fish.
Many captives were instantly broken, wanting to cry, feeling so wronged.
If I had known that I would be treated like this, I would have brought my family over earlier, why would I have needed you to fight me?
The special group that ate tofu for the first time, the wife scooped a piece of tofu with a spoon and gave it to her husband, who shook his head vigorously, saying it was not for me. UU Reading www.uukanshu. net
Old children and old people don't eat it, whoever is given it is their meal.
The fish is all fish pieces, without any bones, the soup is milky white, with some soaked dried chopped green onions and coriander floating on it.
I have eaten only a few fish since I was a child.
I didn't expect that I would not have to work to give birth and feed my children after becoming a prisoner.
From yesterday to now, the food is so good, how can this be an enemy? It is clearly a relative!
The prisoners don't know the purpose of the war in the Tang Dynasty. Li Yi is worried that pregnant women and breastfeeding women will be in a bad mood and affect the production of children and milk.
Therefore, give good things, and they will all be citizens of the Tang Dynasty in the future, and war will not be vented by killing.
The children who eat good things now will always remember this day when they were captured by the Tang Dynasty, and have lived a good life since then and become a part of the Tang Dynasty.
"A benevolent and righteous army! Our Tang Dynasty is a benevolent and righteous army." Yao Chong sighed as he looked at the big screen.
No one said anything. Wouldn't it be more benevolent if you don't hit them?
"Long Ze, what do you think?" Yao Chong asked Bi Gou without getting a response.
"Benevolence and righteousness! The wealth of benevolence and righteousness is all money. Just throw it in. The Tang Dynasty is rich." Bi Gou gave face.
"Hahahaha..." Li Longji laughed and tilted his head to look at Li Yi.
"It will be ready soon, the last step."
Li Yi, who was making homemade tofu, mixed the sauce and threw the fried tofu cubes in and turned them twice.
There are many vegetables today. The local imports are like the dry season. The air is dry. You need to replenish water, but you can't drink water.
He made fish balls with Chinese cabbage, stuffed cucumbers, homemade tofu, shrimp, pine nuts and corn, mushrooms and fish cubes, garlic and eggs, beef and water chestnuts, stir-fried green "fruit" breast eel, and dry pot potato slices.
It is considered eight dishes and one soup, and the meatballs are included in the soup.
Li Yi was happy today, so he made more dishes, one pot after another. To be continued
