MTL - I’m Against the World-Chapter 109 Sweethearted Fairy 3 Cock Crows
This peach tree means a lot to Ma Tao.
She descended to earth as a fairy, and some people who believed in her even set up a tablet of longevity for her to worship day and night.
She was kidnapped by her mother when she was four or five years old. Ma Qiu was short-tempered and had a weird temperament. Autumn is in a hurry to get angry.
But the old woman was different. From the first sight of Ma Tao, she began to admire her. Although they have been together for a short time, her mother-in-law has not spoken to her a few words, but The affection she had lacked for so many years seemed to be made up by her mother-in-law's words.
In Ma Tao's heart, the mother-in-law who has only two sides makes her closer and more attached to her than her father Ma Qiu.
She and her mother-in-law never saw each other again after they parted ways. Although her mother-in-law promised her that there will be a reunion day, the world is in chaos. Will there be a day to see my mother-in-law again?
She was also reluctant.
Now Ma Qiu cut down the tree without saying a word, how can Ma Tao endure this?
Ma Tao started a hunger strike after a big quarrel with Ma Qiu.
Ma Qiu couldn't understand her daughter's problem of helping others indiscriminately. Because Matao knew how to control her father since she was a child.
Ma Qiu didn't want to help the widow, mother and child fetch water, Ma Tao didn't need to say anything else, as long as she helped others to fetch water, rubbed the palm of her hand into the blood blisters, and beat her clothes soaking wet, that was enough. When Ma Qiu couldn't bear it any longer, he would naturally come to help with a dark face.
Ma Tao wants to give away the things at home, Ma Qiu disagrees, as long as Ma Tao looks at the thing and weeps every day, Ma Qiu can only lose a temper and then surrender.
If Ma Qiu gets angry and reprimands her, Ma Tao just takes his hand and shakes it and shouts "Daddy" twice, and Ma Qiu's anger will be covered with snow Like a charcoal basin, it went out immediately.
Ma Tao knew what to do to make Ma Qiu the most uncomfortable, so after the quarrel she started a hunger strike.
Fairy won't lie, Ma Tao said she would go on a hunger strike, it was a real hunger strike, she wouldn't eat a sip of water or food, and she was so weak that she couldn't stand up after only two days.
Seeing her daughter's dying appearance, Ma Qiu felt more uncomfortable than being slashed by someone. Take a bite.
The one who was favored was fearless, and Ma Tao threw the glass with water to the ground.
My niece was determined to kill her little life, Ma Qiu felt distressed like a knife and axe, but at this juncture, he could not allow him to slowly persuade her daughter, because the city also It started to mess up.
Because of the common enemy, the scattered Hu tribes finally put aside their old grudges for a while, and decided to unanimously attack the rebellious people who betrayed the Hu people. Tuobale, the king of Xianbei who wanted to get close to the Han people, was killed.
Ma Qiu received the exact news, led by the four major tribes, the tribes began to assemble on the grasslands, and only after the integration of the troops and horses was completed and then the big leader was elected, they would wave their troops south and slaughter the Xianbei clan with all the Han dogs.
In order to show their determination and deter the tribes, they killed several small tribes that were close to the Han people.
This move of the coalition forces shocked all the Hu people. In order to avoid disaster, some small tribes who were close to the Han people and the Xianbei people in the past rushed to draw a line with the Xianbei people and the Han people and left one after another. The territory of the Xianbei people has returned to the grassland.
The ones who stayed, apart from the hard-core pro-Han party, were the anti-Han factions that tried to destroy the Han in troubled waters.
If any of the four clans or two clans go to war with the Xianbei people, Ma Qiu has the courage to face the enemy head-on.
However, all the Hu people now stand on the opposite side of the Xianbei people. The so-called ants kill the elephants, and the Hu tribes do not need any tactics or strategies. The team can destroy the Xianbei people like annihilation.
Ma Qiu's station was on the front line facing the Hu people's coalition forces, even if he could retreat with the entire city, but the people were too numerous to retreat and move slowly, they abandoned the city and fled As long as the news spreads to the grasslands, the Hu allied forces do not need to dispatch a large force, but only need to send some cavalry to chase after them, and grind away the men and horses that can wipe out Ma Qiu bit by bit.
Ma Qiu can't retreat, he can only stick to the city.
The cavalry of the Hu people is very powerful when charging on the plains, and there are few opponents. cautious.
Retreat is a dead end, and if you hold on to the city, you may have a chance of survival.
Ma Qiu first sent people to the capital to ask for help from the king, and then arrested all the foreigners who were left in the city to make trouble, and mixed with the prisoners of war and prisoners in the cell that were caught in the past. Become a coolie team, let them work day and night, and seize the time to strengthen the city wall.
On the one hand, there is an imminent battle that affects the lives of the people in the city, and Ma Qiu has to prepare. On the one hand, he insisted on starving his daughter to death, and Ma Qiu couldn't ignore it.
Ma Qiu's actions didn't move Ma Tao's heart, what made her give up the hunger strike and walk out of the door was not her father's plea, but the screams she heard accidentally.
Such a group of thugs, prisoners of war, and prisoners is not easy to manage. If you want them to work honestly and hurry up, you must use some extraordinary means.
The reinforcement and construction of the city wall is related to how long they can last under the siege of the coalition forces. Fighting inside, fighting until you are honest, living dishonestly is also a waste of food and grass that cannot be replenished in a short period of time, and simply beats to death.
The screams of the coolies startled Ma Tao, who was on a hunger strike.
Someone is suffering and needs the help of the little fairy, Ma Tao can't ignore this situation.
My father knelt down and begged Ma Tao, who refused to eat, to go on a hunger strike. After eating and drinking, she got up and asked the maid to help her out to check the situation.
At a glance, Ma Tao was shocked by the plight of the coolies. She didn't delay for a moment, she went straight to Ma Qiu and asked Ma Qiu to release these people.
The battle is imminent. These mob prisoners of war and prisoners participated in the construction of the city walls and fortifications.
Ma Qiu categorically rejected Ma Tao's request, even if Ma Tao threatened him with a hunger strike, he did not compromise.
My daughter is one life, and the Xianbei and Han people in the city are tens of thousands of lives. Comparing the two, Ma Qiu does not need to choose and knows what to do.
Ma Tao was unable to exchange freedom for the coolies despite her death. In desperation, she asked Ma Qiu to treat the coolies well, reduce their working hours, and improve their food treatment.
Ma Tao's request, Ma Qiu, can't agree.
The allied forces of the Hu Hus have almost been assembled, and they will be able to march south only after the big leader is selected. The difference in the strength of the two sides is huge.
Ma Qiu must prepare in advance for the city to be besieged for a long time. In addition to sending people to collect supplies to migrate people in the countryside, he also began to implement the rationing system in the city early.
The soldiers on the front line of the battle can only eat eighth full, not to mention these coolies, he is willing to let these people eat half full.
The fortifications of the city wall cannot be stopped for a moment. Ma Qiu needs a lot of manpower to work. The young men he recruited from the common people have to work for five hours a day. These can be considered as The enemy's coolie Ma Qiu will naturally not feel distressed.
The third time the **** crows (5:30 in the morning) to start work, and it is suitable to go to sleep when the **** crows for the first time (more than 1:00 in the morning).
Ma Tao cried, made trouble, and hanged herself for several days, Ma Qiu gritted her teeth and refused, and could not persuade Ma Qiu, the little fairy Ma Tao could only help those people by herself .
The army's grain depot could not be moved, so she used the grain depot of the general's mansion to subsidize food for those suffering.
Having the benefits given by Ma Tao, the coolies are naturally happy to hold her, and they boasted and boasted about Ma Tao's reputation for charity, and they even boasted a flower.
To fill their stomachs, Ma Tao also wanted to reduce their working hours.
There is no precise timing tool at this time, and the rooster crowing is a specific time reminder for people.
Ma Tao hid beside the chicken coop, and she learned the **** crowing as soon as Hai Shi passed.
A cage of chickens crows, and the whole city begins to crow, and the coolies can rest.
In these two days, Ma Qiu noticed something was wrong, and caught Ma Tao who was hiding by the chicken coop.
Ma Qiu was furious, and for the first time did the housework to Ma Tao, beat the girl who didn't know the importance and ordered her not to have any contact with the group of coolies.
Ma Tao became more and more worried after crying. Dad was so angry this time that he was willing to do anything to her, but to those coolies, it would only be more harsh.
Without her protection, how much should those coolies suffer? Seeing that the city wall is about to be repaired, Daddy is so tyrannical and stingy that after the city wall is repaired, he can't say that he will kill those people.
The kind-hearted little fairy Ma Tao thought that if she wanted to save the lives of the coolies, she had to help them escape from the city as soon as possible.
After she settled in the boudoir for two days, she came up with a big move - she stole Ma Qiu's token, and the family's password of Ma Qiu called up the supervisor and guard, and sent the group of coolies. All let go.
Some of them went to the grasslands to report the news, and most of them went directly into the hidden corners of the city to hide, just waiting for the two armies to go to war, they will give Ma Qiu a heavy heart. hit.
