Chapter 278

The sun is in the sky, the sky is cloudless, the fields are like a sheet of scales, a group of dry landscapes.

Miao He plants are afraid to stand in the ground, dead leaves sh shaking shaking in the wind, and black crows come from the opposite side to break through the earth wall, hovering in the air, looking down at the dead corpse.

Hundreds of hungry people were scattered in the dark corners of the streets, squatting, drowsy, still sighing, or being blindfolded and waiting, more hope for prayer, a pair of eyes burning early, a thin socket of dry black filled with sand, terrible circumstances, I did not know whether to live or die.

A black skinny young man ran to the well, the bucket fell down, feeling to the end, they shook the rope, feeling a little uncomfortable, anticipating water, overjoyed, quickly shook the reel, squeaky rope, and hit half a yellow rustle.

Teenagers fiddle with the sand, pick a little black feeling in the middle, moisturize the mouth, touch it carefully, and show a joyful face.

Suddenly the thunder rolled, there was a rumbling sound, and all the hungry people suddenly widened their eyes and looked up at the sky, and there were those who helped the wall to stand up, their hearts beat staggered, and long tears flowed into the nest, and they had forgotten to wipe and lick.

However, the sky is still sunny, and there are no clouds, so how can there be the slightest rain?

Puzzled, I saw the dust of the big city drifting from outside the big city, the scroll came, the storm howled and roared, the secluded spring galloped, and the sound was amazing!

This person did not know, the horse team had no more than the city gate to cross the city wall, and immediately the soldiers were in armor and dust, but their faces were clear, without any tiredness, and the figure of the first leader almost immediately tilted the slope of the slope, and Le Ma glanced in all directions, his eyes were blazing, and the male wisdom and majesty made people dare not face it.

The commander said, "Don't know the parable right away!

The soldiers thumped, dispersed with all their might, broke houses to enter, captured the stout, found food, cried and resounded through the sky.

The black skinny less escaped and the toilet hungry man, the probe wanted to see. Time was too little, the sergeants had returned, and the small grain had gathered, not strong enough, and more than 100 people were caught, and even among these hundred, it surpassed the hungry, thin body like noodles. A banner said: "Ayutthaya, Tucheng has always been poor, the victims and adults are far from the demand, and there are still some hungry corners in the corners of the city, if you want to restore the essence of satisfaction, it is still competent to build fortress stones." “

I commanded this side from afar, and I saw the hungry people facing miserable, feeble bears, the mass arrests of the soldiers, and they fled and fled, how could such a person use it?

The flag should be imminent, not too late, and should return to the public: "Adults, a few of those who are starving, can walk, and take the others, unable to move, if they want to bring, fear becomes a drag." ”

The command nodded, and understood, at this time, all the people grabbed the soldiers in the city who were making arrangements in the square, gathered in front of the city gate, glanced at it, and said loudly: "The crowd listened, the sergeants are brave and brave, and they are going to die, and the so-called rise and fall of the country, every husband and wife are responsible! Today, the stone fortresses of the base such as Zheer are conducive to defending the country's right to build cities, and it is also timely!"

In the face of grief, the mourning people have no choice but to add a sword to the body, don't dare, Rao Na commanded how to throw the sound, and he didn't care. Just as the banner said loudly: "Some military supplies, flat wine, meat first prize! In recent years, there has been a drought, and the bran is still not easy to see during the crushing season, and when people listen to the wine and meat consumption, they immediately lift their spirits, thunder loudly, and the conductor is overjoyed, and the conductor Colt cites the way out of the civilians. The hungry people heard the sound of eating meat and struggled to their feet, some still struggling desperately. In the starving man, the black and the boy's sense of smell made the eyeballs spin, a slight trade-off, "phew" spit out the sand for a long time, ran out, wanted to follow up the militia ranks, and suddenly felt a tight neck, can no longer move, it turned out to be a cavalry whip riding on his neck.

The cavalryman scolded, "Little boy, get out!" and with a flick of his wrist, the boy threw a spiral, and when he got up, he twisted, and a layer of skin fell off his neck. He touched his neck, coughed, and glared at the cavalry.

The commander and evacuation of the cavalry asked the teenagers: "How old are you?"

The boy replied: "The villain often thinks of Hao, who is sixteen years old this year!"

Guide him to see the narrow framework, to be weak, to recognize false lies.

I often think of the neck of the gourd, squint my eyes to prevent sand, and from time to time I look at the horse riding a horse with a water bag hanging from its waist, and my lips gradually blur unconsciously, and suddenly they fall into the bottom of the silence.

I don't know how long it will take, the wind has an interest rate, and the sand has Mo. The silhouette of the city is long and currently occupies the mountain pass, quietly enjoying the last sunset like a lion.

The ponies enter the city, and the hungry people get excited again as they all smell the smoky city mixed with tempting meat.

The commander from the cavalry seeking the banner said, "What is your name?"

Qi said: "The inner adult, Zheng Yuan is the villain."

The official said: "You are very smart, I will use you as a flag, these hungry people are in urgent need of food, you can take them and start eating!"

There were ten people under the banner, and another fifty were ruled by the general banner. They are not elevated to exploitation. Although only one rank was deported, the people were filled with joy.

Zheng Yuan kowtowed: "Thank you, sir!"

With a smile on your face, move on.

Zheng Yuan stood up and led a group of Mongols westward, through dilapidated houses, to a slightly wider place. He shouted to the fire chief, distributed dishes and chopsticks, and the line waited to receive the food.

Not much time, the couple carried a few large pots of pots, opened the lids, fragrant, the crowd stared, only to see the pot gurgling and gurgling and gurgling a pot full of pots full of stewed pig's blood, black and red shiny, almost greedy people!

The people trembled with their hands, and with strong and restrained excitement, they slowly moved forward in the procession, and with a spoonful in their hands, a man came, and then scooped a bowl of meat into the pot and poured it into his bowl, and then added half a spoonful of pig's blood. The meat scooped out, stained with oil, trembled in the spoon, steamed, so those who were hungry looked dumbfounded, holding the bowl in their hands, smelling the tempting aroma and not feeling real. Some people have trembling hands and feet, and they can't get their own food, so they lose their chopsticks, regardless of the heat, and go straight into the bowl to grab the meat to eat, and the hot red bubbles on their fingers and lips don't know. Some people even have a piece of meat in their mouths, and they actually forgot how to chew it, sitting on the ground, covering their chests, their eyes are just blindly watering, their feet are difficult to kick the ground, and they can't cry at all.

Chang Sihao also received a bowl, and he found that he could only rely on breaking the roulette wheel to sit down, picked up a few pieces of meat and picked them up, unwilling to eat them, and blew hot air to take a sip of soup.

At this time, there was a team in the city, and there were national costumes, covered with mud and smelling of sweat, and when they saw that these people were in the first place, they immediately shouted, and a man shouted: "You newcomers, take my bowl to eat, I have been waiting in the city for a day, but I am lagging behind, is this reasonable?"

Zheng Yuan exclaimed: "Who are you, dare to say that! Don't forget when you first arrived, what your appearance is!" The man hesitated back, Zheng Yuan saw that the crowd was still unbalanced, and the vibrating voice continued: "Everyone can work together to defend thieves and food in a common way, there is absolutely nothing else to do." Why are you trying to win first place?" everyone heard, their faces ashamed, and they could only stand aside. Here, the newcomer was panicked and swallowed all of them quickly, coughing and coughing, causing Zheng Yuan to shake his head and sigh.

"Zheng Qi!" an old army waved to Zheng Yuan from afar.

Zheng Yuan heard the chanting and looked sideways, it was the leader of Xu Guolao. A soldier on the side of Zheng Yuan's body smiled: "Xu, my banner has raised the banner of Zheng Qi, and now you have changed a call mileage!"

Xu Laoben walked over and said with a smile: "Zheng Zongqi, congratulations, congratulations!"

Zheng Yuan smiled and said, "What, ask me for help?"

Xu Laojun said bitterly: "First recruit a few civilian husbands, they are all at work, my kitchen is busier, no matter what happens today, you have to arrange for the two of you!"

Zheng Yuan frowned and said: "A thousand people have a lifetime, the cunning thieves have made it difficult, the siege is very tight, where is the city to defend these veterans, although you are tired, after all, you are also busy opening me to see..."

Xu Laojun said: "I don't know about life, if it weren't really not, I wouldn't open this old Xu's mouth!

There is a shortage of manpower, the time to eat is often delayed, and the sergeants have complained for a long time, but the enemy, we are all patient and tolerant, tacit understanding. Zheng Yuan felt embarrassed, and hesitantly swept the father-in-law, wanting to find an old and weak, but when he saw Hao, who often thought of him, he immediately waved it.

Xu Laoweng, led by Chang Sihao, came to the room, this room was originally a three-room house, and the roof beams and beams had been removed and transported to the city wall to prepare for the remaining four walls of less than half, still slightly close to the wind.

Xu Laojun pointed to a stove that often thought of Hao Lu: "You continue to light the fire, the fire is too big, and it can't be too small, let it stay hot." Chang Sihao drank the soup, was so excited that he wanted to cry altogether, and then squatted down to make a fire. Xu Laojun turned sideways, nodded, and asked, "Boy, what's your name?" Changsha Hao replied, and Xu Laojun quickly said, "My name is Xu, after you control me...... Chang Sihao said: "Xu Gong." Xu Laojun sneered: "We are not generals, we can call it the word "Gong", you can't scream like this, just like everyone, call me Lao Xu Jun too!"

Xu Xujun was sad for a while, he liked his youthful and angry reading, Wen Wenwen was in the village, I wanted to be able to gain fame one day, but I didn't expect to be called into the army, decades of military campaigns, now it is an age, there are two frosts, not to say that there is an heir, even a wife is not married, and I can't think of a runaway from home, my mother sent to the scene, reluctantly, liver and intestine pain. Dozens of other dozens of silent when there is no news, today's value, but I don't know where her bones are, which grave the spirit runs!

The mind changed, and tears poured down the lapels. Xu Laojun recovered, wiped his tears, and sighed for a long time.

Chang Sihao looked back, thinking that he was wrong and too busy to lose, Xu Laojun waved his hand: "It's okay, you call me grandpa, I'm very happy, how can we blame you?"

After a long time, it seems that the state of mind has been calm, at this time the fire in the kitchen can not be seen clearly, often thinking of Deputy Hao copied a thick firewood from the side, clasped two hands together, folded into three sections, into the stove, in fact, like a freehand painting as easy to fold the bamboo sticks. Xu Laojun sighed in his heart: "This kid has very strong hands!" and asked: "Look at your hands and feet, that is a child from a poor family, what is your father doing?"

Chang Sihao: "I have two fathers, grandpa, which one do you ask?"

Xu Laojun: "Is your mother a daughter or an aunt?" Alas, this wild horse is chaotic!"

What often comes to mind is: "It's not my family breeding, when I was young, the warriors came to the city and caught them, my father also caught them, and never came back, my mother died after two years of illness, I lived with my sister Xiaohua and my father, and then the family didn't go downstairs, and my father-in-law sold me to the butcher who killed him, he didn't have a son, and treated me as his son, I called him Dad."

"I see. Xu Laojun said: "So, do you have a sister with your father-in-law?"

Chang Sihao raised his head and said, "My sister died, she died before her father sold it to me." ”

Xu Laojun was dignified and a little dignified: "Hungry to death?"

“...... Yes. Chang Sihao bit his lower lip, his eyes flickering slightly. Xu Laojun has seen more men, and his eyes are quite sad when he looks at this child, and he also likes to be impolite and confused, but not for a while.

Suddenly covered with cooing pot lids, two elevators were lifted. "Fire," Xu Laojun said.

"Yes, yes. Chang Sihao quickly dismantled the firewood and asked, "Is this pot also a stew?" ”

Xu Laojun smiled: "No, this pot is oil."

"Oil?" asked with his eyes raised vigorously.

Xu Laojun said: "This is a backup, if the thieves climb the city at night to attack, put this pot away, and then pour it down!"

It was getting dark, and the soldiers took turns eating rice in the city, and the soldiers in the city came down to rest and eat, and their teammates were much busier than just now. In addition to seeing the fire that often lives in this stove, and also taking advantage of the gap to get a bowl of water, busy running around, several other veterans saw that the children's hands and feet were diligent, and they no longer complained, and buried themselves in work.

And I often think of Hao helping hungry people to eat, and they are chased by soldiers, demolishing houses, laying stones, and transporting them to the city. By this time the moon had risen, the night was clear, and everywhere there were branches of torches gradually lit, and some soldiers were in the warmth next to the campfire, and some were sleeping thin with Gordon's sword.

Chang Sihao and the old army ran out of chopsticks and cooking utensils, and the month was close to the transfer, Xu Laojun said: "Good moon tonight, it seems that Fan Bing will not steal the city, you can sleep well!" Hao has been drowsy, pointing to a pile of piles: "I'm going to open a fire vigil, you lie here and sleep."

Chang Sihao rubbed his eyes: "Grandpa, you are old, you must be tired, you go to sleep, I came to see the fire."

Xu Lao smiled slightly and said, "Young people are sleepy, you sleep, grandpa doesn't care."

Often looking at the haystack curled up and asleep, Xu Laojun sat on the edge of the stove, looking forward to the uncertain light, silently reciting in his heart: "Grandpa......" sound, looking up at the good month, I didn't realize that my eyes were wet again.

I often think that Hao is tired and groggy, and I don't know how much time I have, and suddenly I feel that someone has poked his eyes, and his eyes are wide open, it turns out to be an old army. I often think of Hao rubbing his eyes to look at the sky, the night is muddy, and the moon has drifted to where I went. The old veteran said, "Get up and get to work." Xu Laojun scolded beside him: "What do you tell him to do? He is so young, can he do it?" The veteran muttered: "No matter what, a labor, he will have to work sooner or later." ”

I often think of Hao Guyu climbing up and shaking the foam grass, only then did I see that several other veterans also woke up, they are not old, this feeling is obviously not too tired, some are hard-working and live with waist and shoulders, and some are rubbing old cold legs, Ziya is smiling and enduring rheumatic pain. After tidying up a little, Xu Lao Wu ran to the dilapidated house with everyone out with a pot, and pulled a Chang Sihao halfway through, wanting to say something, but finally didn't say it.

A few people surrounded some ruins and broke the wall, came to a compound, the door was open, a stream of blood smelled, and they often felt that Hao Liao was a slaughterhouse, he was young and lived with a butcher, they were not afraid. Take a look, I saw a pile of white things in the center of the hospital, similar to the pile on the mountain, and there were several large boxes next to it, standing on the knife holder on the side, and on top of all kinds of thick and thin knives, flashing with strong light. Standing in the corner of several large tanks, covered with iron covers, the place where the fishy smell is most concentrated.

Xu Laojun greeted the crowd with a knife and said, "All the best!"

Several veterans rolled up their sleeves, ran to the white mountain, stepped on the bench in front, stretched out the mountain, pulled outward, and handed a large strip to the people below. Before I lend a helping hand, as long as I feel the cold touch, I look carefully, and my hair is straight and frightened, and I really can't bear it!

The old soldier took it down, and it was actually a disembowelment, scraping naked intestines! This whole white hill was a pile of headless naked bodies!

Chang Sihao took two steps back, suddenly hit something, and was startled, it turned out to be Xu Laojun.

Xu Laojun hugged the shoulders that often Si shoulder, with a blank expression, Shu Xu said for a long time: "Child, don't be afraid!

Shuanghui came to a warm shoulder, often proudly hugged his heart a little comforted, and asked, "Get these... Meat, what to do?

"Naturally, I want to do it!" another veteran said in an obscene tone, throwing a naked body "bang" loudly on the long case, returning to the "swish" sound of the blade, inserting it into the waist of the body, and making a small lunge, leaning on the corpse on the one hand, and the surgeon on the other, reciprocating several times in the body cavity, in the case of an upsetting, on the one hand, exploring the body in the abdomen, gently unloading, only listening to the sound of a lamp from "Huo Huan", the flesh and blood were separated, and only an empty skeleton was left in the upper body of the body.

The veteran glanced at it, often thought of Hao, and said with a smile: "Wazi, my craftsmanship is far behind, look at your Xu Ah Gong, peel without hair, deboning without leaving the flesh, that is called Mage Li! The deceased's arm and thigh meat have been cut off, the skeleton is thrown aside, the meat is provoked with a knife, and thrown into another case, the veteran over there holds a knife, a piece of air, and the meat is cut into pieces, and falls like this, and his arms swing, like a wheel spinning, "tuk-tuk" Without a sound, the meat was cut into dozens of small pieces in the shape of tofu in an instant, and then the bipolar wave swept the meat into the cauldron, and the action was smooth and very skillful.

Xu Laojun patted Li Chang on the shoulder and rolled up his sleeves.

Over and over again, I often vomit arrogant vomiting, nosebleeds come out, and the internal organs cannot be said to be uncomfortable.

Human flesh... Human flesh!

A different scene suddenly welled up in his mind.

Year after year of droughts, crop failures, wild vegetables were almost stripped of their bark and dug up, families paused for days, and my father, sister and all three of them were dizzy with hunger.

That morning, his father-in-law told him to go out to the wild and said that if he couldn't dig it up, he wouldn't be allowed to go home. Chang Sihao raised the blade and basket and searched for twenty miles, and finally found a bare tree root by a dry river. Digging it up for most of the day, returning home happily and seeing his father squatting on the threshold of the yard, he shouted: "Father, I have found sweet roots, sister, I have found sweet roots!"

The father closed his eyes and nodded, his wrinkled face as if it had been painted. Chang Sihao walked into the house and greeted his sister to start the fire, but her sister was not there, she probably went out to wild vegetables and had not come back yet.

I often think about wiping the sweet roots, smashing the stones, scooping up the rainwater, opening the lid and pouring it in, but I find that there is a pot of water in the pot, some turbid water, a faint white smooth layer of oil floating on the water, looking down, pits, and throwing a bunch of neat bones and a strand of fine hair.

A concept drifts, and the tragic sight seems to be right in front of you. Often think of pupils constricted, clenched fists, and teeth unable to fight.

One of the old soldiers laughed: "Watts, what else is there to see? work! Another said: "If you live for one day, then count it as one day, and have more thoughts in your head, like eighty days, come on, ass?"

Xu Laojun was cold, and when his body was red, the white bones step by step seemed to show the world that it was the primitiveness of the people.

"No matter what we do, we must be careful!" these are Xu Laojun's words. When he said these words, there seemed to be a sense of confidence and pride in his eyes. When he often held a knife, Chang Sihao understood the meaning in his eyes.

According to Xu Laojun,

The flesh on the bodies of the other veterans, who usually had not yet been ticked, had already thrown the second body to the case.

"Don't be in a hurry, you want to be stable!" Xu Laojun threw out this sentence at the right time, and he often gave up the speed of thinking because through his heart.

He pursues speed, because there is still fear, pain, and sadness in his heart. He wants to end as soon as possible and stay away as soon as possible.

"Escape from the Useless"

Xu Laojun said that the voice was very cold, much less than usual.

There must be fruit, there will be the beginning of the end, there must be life, there must be death, never escape, escape.

Even if people stay away from it all, the heart never escapes. No matter how cruel the truth may be, face it and accept it.

Chang Sihao understood that he wanted to force himself to accept it, but deep down there seemed to be a force in his heart that silently refused.

He once asked Xu Laojun, who still had horses in the city, why he didn't kill them. When the enemy is besieging, the cavalry can give full play to its rapid and flexible mobilization characteristics, and the probability of two attacks after the attack will increase. This inexpensive horse slut, but everything is done to defend the city.
