Chapter 117: Death

"Mother, I'm hungry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhang Yong pulled the woman's sleeve, and her little face was pitiful.

"Wait a minute, my mother will go and see what else to eat at home. ”

The woman gently let go of the hand holding Zhang Yong, got up and walked to the kitchen. When I lifted the lid of the rice cylinder, I saw that the rice cylinder had bottomed out. I rummaged through the cabinets, but only found a few green leaves.

In fact, there is no food in the house, and the women know it. Over the years, I have grown up with my children alone, and my family is not rich. Therefore, it is only enough to buy rice for a few days at a time, and then go to the rice shop to buy rice after eating.

The woman thought for a moment, then walked to the bedroom.

When he got to the bedside, he reached under the pillow and felt for a bag of coins. I took it in my hand and weighed it, although the money was not much, it was enough to support it for a while.

Walking to the guest room and seeing Zhang Yong, the woman walked over gently and hugged him into her arms: "Yong'er, my mother went out to buy some rice and noodles, you stay here well, you are not allowed to go out, you know?"

"Mother, I'm afraid, don't you go, okay?" Zhang Yong looked at the woman pleadingly.

"Don't worry, my mother will be back soon. After speaking, the woman ignored Zhang Yong's little hand and walked out resolutely.

When I opened the door, I felt a desolate aura rushing over my face. On the road outside the door, there was not a single pedestrian in sight. The breeze blew, and the women felt the slightest coolness.

She was a little scared, but thinking of Zhang Yong, who was still hungry at home, the woman suddenly mustered up her courage and took the first step out of the house.

This step is like stepping into another world, and there is no turning back.

The street was quiet, and after walking for a long time, I couldn't see a single figure, or even an animal. There are also many stalls on both sides of the street, and it can be seen that the owner left in a hurry, and he didn't even have time to take it away.

Seeing these scenes, the women felt that they were not walking in the once prosperous and lively imperial capital, but had come to an empty and dead city.

The women were becoming more and more panicked, not only in the face of such an environment, but also afraid that they would not be able to buy rice and noodles at this time. If so, what about the children in the guys?

In the confusion, before she knew it, the woman had come to the rice shop. Looking at the plaque engraved with the three big characters "Food for the Sky", the woman weighed the small amount of silver in her hand, took a deep breath and walked forward, knocking on the door.

"Knock knock. The knock on the door was loud in the silence of the empty street.

"Who. A trembling male voice came from the rice shop.

"I'm here to buy rice. The woman replied softly.

"Don't sell it, when is this, the rice shop has long been closed. ”

"Please, open the door, I'll buy some rice, there's no rice left at home. The child is still hungry. The woman prayed.

With a "yes", the door of the rice shop opened a small crack, revealing a fat face: "It's not that I don't want to sell you, this rice was sold a lot yesterday, and I don't have much rice in this rice shop now."

"Can't you just sell a little?" the woman looked at the fat-faced man, looking a little pitiful.

"This ......" The fat-faced man looked a little hesitant: "You also know, now there are wars everywhere, and I don't know when it will end." So I can't sell this rice to you, you better go home early, it's not safe outside. ”

After speaking, the fat-faced man glanced at the woman sympathetically, and resolutely closed the door of the rice shop.

When the woman heard this, she lost her soul and walked back in a daze. Suddenly hearing the sound of the iron armor colliding, the woman was frightened and wanted to find a place to hide, but in a panic, she stood there and was stunned.

"Who?" shouted as a group of soldiers rushed over.

"I ...... I came out to buy rice. The woman stood still and explained nervously.

The soldier at the head frowned: "What kind of rice to buy, it's not safe in this city, you better go home early!"

"This ...... The rebels are not outside the city, so how can the city not be safe?"

"Why do you ask so much? Just go back and go back. ”

"Yes, yes. The woman nodded hurriedly, and was about to go home, but suddenly looked straight ahead.

"It's not for you to go back, how can you still ......"

The soldier at the head noticed something, and suddenly turned his head sharply, and saw a group of people behind him, only less than ten zhang away from him, but he was not aware of it at all.

"Who are you?" exclaimed the soldier, his hand gripping the spear tightened and tightened, ready for battle.

Without replying, he saw the leader wave his hand, and a tall strong man rushed up.

In the face of the attack, all the patrolling soldiers rushed forward, spears stabbed into the man's chest.

"Bang dang. ”

The weapon intersected with the body, and there was a sound of metal clashing, and then the spear broke, but the man was unharmed.

"Boom. With a wave of the strong man's arm, all the soldiers flew upside down, no longer angry, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Chu Ge looked at all this, revealing a wicked smile, and seemed to be very satisfied. Zhao Ji, who had just killed this group of soldiers, was expressionless and slowly retreated.

"Haha, that's fucking cool. After holding back for so long, I finally let out a bad breath. ”

"Young master, we should go, they are still waiting for us, master. ”

"I've said it, now you want to call me the prince. Chu Ge glared at Zhao Ji, then walked forward and came to the woman who was squatting on the ground, trembling.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me. The woman screamed, fell backwards, and fell to the ground.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. Chu Ge said kindly: "Don't you know that it's dangerous to go out now?"

"I'm here to buy rice. The woman said slightly.

"Buying rice, there's nothing to eat at home?"

"Hmm. The woman nodded.

"Then I'll help you, so you don't have to starve. Chu Ge said softly, with a faint smile on his face, making the women not so scared.

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, I'm the prince of Da Chu, will I lie to you?" After speaking, Chu Ge stood up and gestured to the person next to him with his eyes.

A big man walked over and sneered at the woman.

"You, what are you going to do?" the woman pressed her hands on the ground and stepped back, her eyes full of horror.

Zhao Ji, who was walking in front, saw the scene behind him and was about to turn back, when he was suddenly grabbed by a hand: "What do you want to do?" Chu Ge said coldly.

"Prince, this person is just an ordinary person, why don't you just let her go?" Zhao Ji pleaded.

"This world is cruel, and I'm helping her get rid of it. Chu Ge's eyes glowed with cold light, and he shook off Zhao Ji's hand: "Don't forget your own identity." ”

Zhao Ji was about to speak, when he heard a scream behind him, sighed in his heart and stopped talking.

Soon, the streets fell silent again, empty except for a few corpses. Slowly, a bold man slowly opened the door and stretched out a pair of eyes to look around. When it is safe, the door is carefully opened.

"Isn't that a widow Zhang?"

"Hey, the Zhang family has another child, and Widow Zhang is dead, what should I do with the child?"

Several people on the street glanced at each other, and only a helpless sigh remained......
