After walking for a few miles, I saw a dark cave in the distance after turning most of the mountain, and the snow in front of the cave was full of messy footprints. The three of them stopped, each drawing a weapon pinned to his waist, looking wary.

At this moment, an unkempt child of eight or nine years old came out of the hole, and when he saw the three of them, he was stunned, and after reacting, he beckoned, "Has your village been crushed by the heavy snow?" Come on in, the hole is huge, and there's a fire to roast! As he spoke, he stuffed a ball of snow into his mouth, then patted his stomach and pretended to have eaten a full meal.

Liu Yu raised his eyes to look at Yinzhen.

"Let's go inside, it looks like they're all victims of the disaster. If there is not enough food, they should go to the Huai-Anzhou Mansion, and we will be less eye-catching among them. Yinzhen walked in first.

Although the entrance to the cave is small, the inside is extremely open, at least about half an acre, and the rock floor is smooth and flat, so it is very comfortable to sit on. There was a big fire burning in the center of the clearing, several small fires around, the scrawny and ragged victims crowded one after another to keep warm, and when they saw someone coming to look over one after another, they caught a glimpse of the sleigh pulled by Liu Yu and the large package on it, and his numb eyes burst into a fierce and greedy light. As if sensing that the two tall men were wounded, the sinister gaze became more and more unscrupulous.

Yin Zhen frowned, stopped his pace, and slowly retreated to the entrance of the least crowded cave and sat down. Liu Yu set up the stove, unloaded the dry firewood he had picked up all the way from the sleigh, made a fire in a hurry, took out three buckwheat cakes and divided them, and whispered, "You can't cook anything here, otherwise they will eat and skin them alive." ”

Yin Zhen nodded. He took the cake and ate it silently, and the relaxed expression on his face had been replaced by solemnity. Li Wei went outside to dig a bowl of snow and brought it back to boil. After eating a few mouthfuls of dry food and drinking a few sips of hot water, his face was wrinkled like bitter gourd, and it seemed very difficult to swallow. At this time, Fang had a little feeling that the three of them were running for their lives.

Someone in the cave was whispering about the Huai-Anzhou Mansion. I heard that the prefect had set up many shelter huts not far from the city gate, and the big families in the city rushed to open the shelters and give porridge, and if they got there, they would definitely be able to survive.

Because the treasury was empty, it was impossible to raise more silver taels. The emperor praised the people for this kind deed. A few days ago, a grain merchant was given an official status by the emperor because he opened a private warehouse to store grain and made meritorious contributions to the relief of the victims. The heirs of the family can pursue the imperial examination from then on, and their status is immediately different. As soon as the news came out, the wealthy businessmen of the whole territory were moved, and the victims also rushed to the state capital. These people all got the news and wanted to go to Huai-'an. Led by some experienced hunters, they trekked hundreds of miles. It seems that there are still seven or eight days to reach the destination.

The whispers are gradually replaced by the sound of swallowing saliva. The heavy snow covers the mountains and there are no edible plants, so they can only rely on hunting to survive, but without food, there is no strength, so how can they hunt? In a vicious circle, these victims are so hungry that even the slightest smell of buckwheat cake is enough to make them crazy.

"A few big brothers, let's give me some bread to eat." An unkempt. A woman with a disheveled head staggered forward with a child of four or five years old, staring at the buckwheat cake in the hands of the three with longing eyes.

Yinzhen ate slowly, one bite at a time. As if he had heard nothing, and had seen nothing. He knows very well that this is not the time for kindness, there are too many people and they can't save them, and maybe they will lose themselves. Li Wei's eyebrows moved slightly, but he didn't open his mouth, only buried his head lower.

Liu Yu saw that the two of them were very good, and smiled with satisfaction. The woman stood by with a pestle, and the child looked at their loaf and swallowed. A moment later, 66 continued to beg for someone, and they surrounded the three of them. Seeing that the three of them were still indifferent, a black shadow flashed out, and he rushed directly towards Liu Yu, who was the thinnest and thinnest, trying to snatch the cake in his hand.

Seeing this, as if they had received some signal, their faces became fierce and terrifying, and they threw themselves at the other two wounded men, snatching their food, ripping off their clothes, and dragging away the hides that were lying on the ground.

At the moment when the black shadow pounced, Liu Yu turned sideways lightly, stuffed the last bit of cake into his mouth, pinched the back of the black shadow's neck, and slammed his head to the ground. There was a muffled thud, followed by a skull exploding and blood splattering. Liu Yu threw away the half-dead person in his hand, grabbed the cowhide package that had been dragged away by someone with his left hand, and pulled out the firewood knife on his waist with his right hand and slashed it horizontally.

Click, grunt~~ The strange sound echoed in the cave, and a downpour of blood followed. I saw that the person who snatched the package was still standing upright, but his head was missing, and blood was spurting wildly from the broken neck, and even the roof of the cave was splashed a lot at a height of two feet.

A round, slimy thing gurgled out and came to a halt at the instep of a man. The man stared down at the thing for a long time before he let out a terrible scream: "Ahhh......h Kill! Kill! ”

The crowd that was still violent and ferocious just now froze on the spot, only to feel a chill quickly crawling from the soles of their feet into their scalps, freezing them shivering, like falling into an ice cave.

Liu Yu rubbed the blood stains on the knife against the headless corpse. The upright corpse fell to the ground with a bang, blood still hissing and spurting, and the strong fishy smell was disgusting. Liu Yu hooked his lips, and his relaxed smile looked particularly eerie and ghostly under the firelight. He opened his mouth in a flat tone, but everyone in the cave shivered in unison, "Put down all my things, or you can change the life of a dog." ”

The people who were still pinching Yin Zhen and Li Wei jumped away like an electric shock, threw down the cotton clothes, cotton pants, boots, animal skins and other things in their hands, and dodged to the deepest part of the cave as quickly as possible. Yin Zhen and Li Wei, who were stunned by Liu Yu's ghostly smiling face, came back to their senses, hurriedly put on their clothes and pants, retied their scattered heads, and sat back by the fire with a calm face.

At this moment, the entrance to the cave, which was already very deserted, was even more deserted, and everyone avoided them for more than three feet, staring at the thin young man with frightened eyes. Unexpectedly, the one who seemed to be the weakest, but the most fierce, who was only in his early tens, had cultivated to the point of killing people without blinking.

"Still hungry?" Liu Yu opened the package like no one else, took out two buckwheat cakes and handed them over.

Yin Zhen reached out and took it, but didn't eat. Hold tightly in the palm of your hand. Li Wei knocked the cake off, forced Liu Yu to ask fiercely, "Why do you want to kill people?" They are just unarmed ordinary people! You've gone too far! ”

Liu Yu's purple pupils in the black instantly crawled with bloodshots. Pulled out the dagger from his waist and plunged straight into the lower plate of Li Wei's big gun, stopping at a place of inches in his crotch, the blade sinking deep into the hard rock, leaving only a handle. Li Wei's lower abdomen twitched, and in the second just now, he was almost scared to pee.

"Before you say that, don't forget who saved you!" Liu Yu said coldly word by word.

"Yu'er. Calm down. Yin Zhen put his warm palm on the back of Liu Yuqing's bulging hand, and said softly, "Li Wei meant. There is no need to kill, it is enough to injure one or two, and it is enough to see blood, so why use such drastic means. They are just poor people. There should be a way to live. Emphasize a degree in everything. Acting in accordance with 'degree', which cannot be crossed or retreated, this is the Tao. Those who have attained the Tao have much help, those who have lost the Tao have little help, and those who have no Tao only destroy themselves in one way, you need to keep in mind. "Liu Yu is so talented and capable that he can't bear to see him go astray. It's just that he's still young. It's okay to teach slowly when you go back.

Liu Yu stared at Yin Zhen for a long time, and the bloodshot in his eyes receded little by little. Pulling out the dagger, he hooked his lips and sneered, "I naturally have a way in my heart, and I know very well that what I did was right." How have you ever really experienced the taste of hunger, and how can you know what a man can do when he is hungry to the extreme? If they don't kill, they will never take half a step back. ”

"Nonsense, alarmist!" Li Wei gasped, scolding his neck, but his eyes didn't dare to glance in the direction of the young man, and his body quietly moved away a lot. Although he tried his best to hide his feelings, he was really scared. Looking at Yin Zhen who gently patted Liu Yu's back, he had to admit that those who could be princes were not mortals.

Liu Yu brushed away Yinzhen's hand and sneered, "The ignorant are fearless, this is really true." Whether I'm an alarmist or not, you'll have to wait and see. The words fell, rolled up the tiger skin felt, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

The sky outside was completely dark, and the howling wind blew people's hearts in panic, and what was even more unbearable was the hunger in the stomach, as if countless ants were scurrying under the flesh and skin, eating away all reason little by little, leaving only desire-thought.

Seeing that the murderous boy was wrapped in a tiger skin for a long time, and seemed to be asleep, the sound of heavy breathing continued in the quiet cave,6 followed by the sound of swallowing saliva, followed by a whisper. Hungry, greedy, wolf-like fierce eyes frequently looked at the position of the three of them.

Li Wei and Yin Zhen put their hands on the weapons on their waists, looking wary. Suddenly, a black shadow burst out of the crowd, stopping, tiptoeing, and gradually approaching.

Yin Zhen and Li Wei pulled out their weapons in unison and stood up. The man immediately stopped, looked at the young man nervously, and was relieved to see that he still didn't move, and actually took Yinzhen and Li Weiwei as if they had nothing, and quickly slipped over with his back bent, dragged the headless corpse on the ground and walked out of the cave.

He had come to collect the corpse! Yin Zhen and Li Wei glanced at each other and sat back in place.

After a while, another man rushed out, picked up the head on the ground, and went out. In a few moments, one or twenty of the people in the cave had gone, and the rest were staring at the entrance of the cave with empty and strange eyes.

If you go out so late, how can you live when you run into wolves? Li Weizheng was worried, and the ten or twenty people came back, all holding something in their arms.

Yin Zhen glanced at it casually, only to feel a thunderbolt bombarded from the Heavenly Spirit Gai, and suddenly stiffened. They were holding human flesh! The shape of the palms and soles of the feet is not to be misunderstood!

Li Wei obviously saw it too, and the expression on his face was first dumbfounded, then shocked and inexplicable, and finally directly numb. These people didn't come to collect the corpses, but dragged them out to eat! I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen in the world!

The victims who had been given the pieces of meat rushed to the fire, skewered them with wooden sticks and burned them on the fire, and before they could get them cooked, they hurriedly stuffed them into their mouths. The cave was not easy to ventilate, and the smell of blood and the smell of meat were intertwined for a long time, which aroused those who still had a little bit of sanity to go crazy. Their eyes were bright, their teeth were slightly open, and their Adam's apple was swaying up and down, as if they were roaring silently.

Yin Zhen and Li Wei stood back to back, protecting Liu Yu in front of him, staring at this group of humans who were becoming beasts, only to feel that their hearts were being cut by countless sharp blades, and the pain was uncontrollable.

Suddenly, a black shadow slowly stood up, walked towards the man who was lying in the corner, and was smashed by Liu Yu to the point of only one breath, pulling him by the feet. Inch by inch, move out of the hole. Seeing that he was starving and had little strength, a pair of young men walked over quietly. Help lift your hands and feet. The trio soon disappeared into the snow.

A cold dead silence spread in the air, followed by a rustling sound, and the people who had been cold-eyed onlookers could no longer hold it anymore and hurried out. As for what to do, it goes without saying. They soon returned, covered in blood and some even wounded. I think it's because the monks have more meat and less meat. Only those who are strong get a piece of the pie, and those who are weak return in vain, and their pale faces indicate that they will not live for a few days. Three or four hundred people. It is far from enough to eat such a little meat, those who have not eaten want to eat, and those who have eaten want to eat more, they peep left and right with their teeth bared. In the violently constricted pupils, there was only total beast-desire. How can there be any humanity?

Yin Zhen and Li Wei are obviously fresh faces, and they are both injured, and they look inconvenient to walk, and they soon become fat in the eyes of these people. A series of fierce and greedy eyes gathered.

Outside, the water dripped, but Yin Zhen and Li Wei were all sweating profusely, and they couldn't wait to escape from this dark cave immediately. Liu Yu, who had not moved, finally opened his eyes slowly and looked back at the refugees. Draw out the hatchet knife from your waist and flick it with your fingertips. A clinking sound echoed through the cave. The victims trembled, and in an instant changed from hungry wolves who wanted to eat people to timid and cowardly sheep, and they all withdrew their gaze, you and I curled up together.

Li Wei's legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground, and he hurriedly used a dagger to support his body. Even in the face of thousands of troops, he has never been so wolf-like, because he knows that the enemy army will only kill people, not eat people. Death is not enough in their hands. Dead at the hands of this mob, I am afraid that even the bones will be chewed and swallowed. This kind of death is really terrible!

Yin Zhen walked up to Liu Yu and sat down, his expression gloomy.

Liu Yu squinted and sniffed in the air, and said word by word, "Do you smell the smell of blood wafting in the cave?" Do you feel nauseous and want to throw up? ”

Yin Zhen Jaw. Liu Yu hooked his lips and smiled wickedly, "But this group of people will not feel disgusting, they will only feel more hungry." Eating is the strongest, most primitive, and most irresistible instinct that human beings have! You haven't experienced real hunger, so you can't experience that crazy feeling. A person who starves to death, cut open the abdomen and you will see all his organs melt and shrink into a ball, do you know why? Because he was so hungry that he couldn't find food, his stomach did what his brain commanded to eat itself. ”

The muscles on Yin Zhen's face twitched slightly. Li Wei couldn't help but shudder. Liu Yu sneered, threw two pieces of firewood into the fire, and continued, "That's right, people are such cruel animals. Hungry to the extreme, they eat not only people, but also themselves! This kind of thing is really common in the eyes of Liu Yu, who has experienced several worlds.

Burning the fire vigorously, he turned his head to stare at the wound in Yin Zhen's abdomen that had been cracked and Li Wei's broken leg that had lost a splint, and said with a sneer, "One of you is crippled, the other is lacking, and I am only in my early ten years old and thin, if you don't pick up the knife and end one or two, they will never retreat." If, as you say, only a lesson is taught and a little blood is seen, what will be the consequences? ”

Yin Zhen's face was frosted. Li Wei hated to bury his head in the crotch of his pants.

Liu Yu sneered, "It seems that you have finally figured it out." If I only hurt them, I will provoke a madness in their hearts, and even if they attack them in groups, they will tear us to pieces. At that time, if you want to save yourself, it will not be a matter of killing one or two people! I naturally have a way in my heart, and that is to live no matter what! That's their way too! And the way that the prince discussed with me before is not the Tao, it should be called 'morality', which is something that will be considered after eating and closing. After the words fell, Liu Yu took out a pot of wine from the package, and took small sips slowly, with an indescribably leisurely posture.

Yin Zhen pondered for a long time, exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then looked at him fixedly, with a solemn expression, "You are right, the way of survival is the supreme way." It was only at this point that I understood the true meaning of 'people-oriented'. The responsibility of the royal family is not to seal the territory for thousands of miles, dominate the universe, and make great achievements, but to let their people have clothes to cover, food to eat, and houses to live in. Imperial power is not given by heaven, but by the people. They are not ants in the eyes of our royal family, on the contrary, they are the cornerstone of the Celestial Empire and the backbone of the empire. Obeying them will make my Celestial Empire prosperous, and if not, our Celestial Empire will perish. We should be in awe of them. The words slowly swept into the cave, and the desire for power became clearer and more intense. If he ascends to the top, he will make the people of the Celestial Empire no longer suffer from hunger and cold, and will no longer be degraded by the morality of humanized beasts.

Liu Yu glanced at him, and after noticing that the atmospheric luck on his body had begun to blend with the national fortune, he smiled, "If you are the emperor, you must be a good emperor." ”

"Shhhh......h "Being able to walk with a teenager is a blessing rather than a curse.

Seeing that Yinzhen's attitude not only remained the same, but became a little more intimate, Liu Yu raised his eyebrows, finally let go of the mustard in his heart, went out to dig up the snow and came back to boil, cleaned the wounds of the two, and turned into a snow lotus essence and smeared it.

When Li Wei was re-aligned and replaced, the cheeks of the five big and three thick men were red with shame, and he spoke in a muffled voice for a long time, "Lin Gongzi, I have shallow knowledge in the next place, I hope you must not worry about it." Thanks to your help all the way, there is no tooth in the next Ming Sense of five unforgettable, but in the future, if you have anything to do, you can go to Prince Yong's Mansion to find help, and there is no other thing to say. ”

Liu Yu raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Do you still need to look for you when I go to Prince Yong's Mansion?" I don't know if there is anything to ask the fourth brother for help? That's a light thing to say...... Forget it, your brain is not bright, so what's the point of worrying about you! (To be continued......)
