Chapter 58

The sun hanging in the sky did not know when it split in two, and the scorching sun scorched the earth and the walking creatures, and it was the summer when the flowers were blooming, but the ground was a wasteland of weeds, and the dead trees were only shriveled trunks for the victims to feed.

During the drought years, the crops withered and the grains were not harvested, the rivers dried up and cut off the water source that the people used for their livelihood.

At night, the ragged and yellow-skinned victims huddled in all corners of the ruined temple, and the leading men set up torches in the center, and the unknown meat slowly exuded a tempting aroma under the burning of the fire, wafting into everyone's nose to hook hungry worms, and the sound of many people swallowing saliva was clearly audible.

"Vomit—"

Someone in the dark corner let out a short vomiting sound, and then the girl next to her covered her mouth and warned in a low voice: "Don't make a sound, be careful of being pulled out and baked." ”

"Weiwei, that's, people, human flesh!" The girl who had just vomited lowered her voice, and the fear overflowed on the surface.

Zhuo Qingwei moved her body slightly, and gently hugged the person next to her into her arms, the fifteen-year-old girl was covered with bones and no flesh, and her skinny appearance was like a human skeleton, and she couldn't feel the weight of her body at all.

She sighed secretly, gently stroked the other party's long yellow hair with her palm, and whispered comfortingly: "Don't worry, Tang'er, I will definitely take you out." ”

Su Tang grabbed her with his backhand, and gently instructed her in a low voice, "Weiwei, you must live." ”

Before the famine, Zhuo Qingwei was a scholarly lady, she was the favored youngest daughter of the merchant's family, the two families have been friends for a long time, and the two of them also grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and they have deep feelings like sisters.

This kind of friendship changed in the year of Su Tang and Lu.

The girl and Lu had many people come to the door to propose, and her parents asked her for advice and planned to get engaged for her, but Su Tang found that she had ignorant feelings for her childhood sweetheart, Zhuo Qingwei, and Zhuo Qingwei also had great resistance to her when she wanted to get engaged.

came and went, and the two of them actually found out their feelings.

In this kind of feudal dynasty, the feelings of two women are naturally intolerable, but before their feelings are discovered, they wait for the famine to come.

I don't know when there will be two more suns in the sky, the rivers and rivers are exhausted, and the people can only barely make ends meet by relying on the food they have hoarded in previous years, but as the situation becomes more and more severe, things become more and more uncontrollable. However, in just a few months, Zhuo Qingwei and her family were separated and fortunately taken in by the Su family, but not long ago, Su Tang's family died under the riots of the victims, and only Su Tang and Zhuo Qingwei escaped.

Unexpectedly, it was like a wolf's den just out of the tiger's mouth, and now it has become the reserve food of that group of fierce men.

The night was thick and deep, and the sound of snoring from sleep gradually came from the ruined temple, and several men guarding the door slept crookedly, and they had completely fallen into a deep sleep.

Two scrawny girls slipped out of the temple with cat-like dexterity and silent steps, the howling wind blew the hunting sound, and the tense atmosphere permeated the hearts of the two people, they looked at each other and clenched each other's hands, and at the same time turned around the ruined temple and burrowed into the barren forest of the back mountain.

The emaciated figure loomed in the weeds, and the two people staggered forward in one direction, and the sound of a man's rough voice slowly came from behind, and a little spark appeared in the woods.

Stepping on a sharp stone under her feet, Zhuo Qingwei's figure almost fell to the ground for a moment, Su Tang quickly held the person with her hand, and seeing that the voice behind her was getting closer and closer, she gritted her teeth, and half-supported the other party's body and continued to run forward.

Zhuo Qingwei snorted, the pain of her twisted steps spread to her whole body, her face was pale, and a little cold sweat oozed from her forehead, but she bit her lip and ran forward desperately, enduring the pain and unwilling to drag Su Tang's hind legs.

"Damn it, they ran over there!"

"Hurry up, Lao Tzu wants to kill these two things!"

"I can't sleep well, I'll stew them and eat meat tomorrow!"

The irritable scolding in his ears was getting closer and closer, Su Tang glanced back at the firelight not far away, and pushed Zhuo Qingwei in the opposite direction with his backhand, "Weiwei, you run that way, I'll run this way, the goal of the two of us together is too obvious, it's better to be safe to separate, and when we escape, we will meet at the entrance of the cave that we often go to in Panshi Town!" ”

Zhuo Qingwei was stunned for a moment, then her face changed greatly, and she shouted sharply: "No, if you want to escape together, you will die together, Su Tang, don't you want to push me away...... Hmm"

Before he finished speaking, the lip flap was already covered by another pair of chapped lips, with a strong and scorching entanglement of affection.

At the end of the kiss, Su Tang opened the distance between the two of them, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips, "You can't die together, Zhuo Qingwei I want you to live with me, there is no second option!" ”

"How do you live?" Zhuo Qingwei asked in a hoarse voice.

"They only chased three people, and you and I ran separately to distract the target and increase the chances of survival." Su Tang took a deep breath, "No matter what, you and I must live and find each other alive!" ”

Zhuo Qingwei's clenched palms slowly parted, and she finally answered in a hoarse voice, "Okay." ”

Su Tang smiled, "Live." ”

"Live."

Seeing Zhuo Qingwei running in the other direction, and the figure gradually disappeared in the darkness until it was completely gone, Su Tang turned around and ran in the opposite direction without hesitation.

The sound of catching up behind him became clearer and clearer, and the figure holding the torch appeared in the dark, Su Tang clenched the wooden stick in his hand and hid his body under the torso of the big tree, holding his breath and not moving, judging the number of people who came by the sound of footsteps.

"Fuck, why is it silent?"

The torches were exceptionally bright in the dark night, and Su Tang, who was shining, saw the man opposite clearly.

The tall and rugged body, the dirty face was a hideous color, and he swept around the bushes with a torch in one hand and a stick in the other, and the shouts and curses continued to sound and cause a sense of oppression.

"Old Five, did you find it over there?" A shout came not far away, with a hint of impatience and anxiety.

The man standing in Su Tang's line of sight responded with a loud voice, "No, it's fucking silent, you see if you have it over there!" Lao Qi said that they ran away separately, why didn't we see any of them here? ”

", hurry up and find it!"

Hearing two shouts, Su Tang suddenly let go of the tense heartstrings.

There are two people chasing here, which means that there is only one pursuer on Zhuo Qingwei's side, which means that the fierceness of her survival will be greatly increased.

Tightening the wooden stick in his hand, Su Tang stood up behind the strong man and slowly stood up, with determination and hatred in his eyes, if Zhuo Qingwei can live, it means that her sacrifice is worth it, if she can pull a villain to die at the same time, then it can be regarded as earned!

The moment the man turned around, Su Tang rushed forward like a bow and arrow flying off the string, and his subordinates tried their best to smash the stick against his head.

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Whew!"

"What sound? Fifth brother, did you catch someone? ”

"I'm cāo, Lao Tzu was plotted by this little slut! Whew-"

The thick wooden stick smashed on the man's head for the second time, and after a violent sound, it broke into two and was thrown on the ground.

"Boom!"

The stone brick fell down, and the blood splashed her face, Su Tang continued to wave the head in his hand without blinking, regardless of the pain caused by the man's waving palm, and the other party's flesh and blood flew and screamed.

The man on the ground had long lost his mobility, and the torches still burning on the side illuminated his miserable situation at this time, a large cake face was full of blood and pits, one eye had already been smashed by bricks and the flesh was blurred, and the other hand was closed and could not see whether he was alive or dead.

Before Su Tang could breathe a sigh of relief, she only felt that her body was kicked away by a powerful force, smashed into a big tree along the parabola and then fell to the ground, her head hit the sharp stone and blood splashed, she opened her eyes in a trance and saw a blur, but in her heart she understood that it was the companion of the man on the ground standing opposite.

Consciousness gradually fell into chaos, Su Tang slowly closed his eyes and fell into a coma, but his heart was calm and unwavering.

As long as Zhuo Qingwei is fine, it's fine.

Three days later

A group of officers and soldiers ran up the mountainside with neat steps, and the generals led by them rushed into the ruined temple only to find that it was already empty, only a cauldron that had already been extinguished and a mess on the ground.

"General." The soldiers searched around for a side, and finally came to the general's side and whispered, "There are no people in the front and back mountains. ”

The general led by him sighed in his heart, and the secret way was broken!

Before he could go out to say goodbye, a black figure had already passed through the soldiers outside the door, and ran into the temple in a hurry, his face changed greatly when his eyes touched the cauldron, and the figure fell directly to the ground in a flash.

The "princess" general hurriedly helped the person up, and shouted to the team behind him: "What about the imperial doctor, do you keep up!" ”

"Get out of the way!"

The woman in black pushed the general away, and ran towards the cauldron with weak steps, there was still half a pot of cold water and a few white bones in it, and there were also white bones and shabby clothes discarded at random around the cauldron.

The general stood in place and hesitated for a long time, and finally stepped forward to comfort him: "Princess, it is not necessarily Miss Su who is in distress. ”

"I can't remember if there were any other girls in the temple at that time." Zhuo Qingwei closed her eyes and bit her lip, "But if she didn't go to the old place to meet me, there is a high chance that she will be caught." General Zhao, lead people down the mountain to investigate, and you must find this group of people to find Su Tang! ”

"Subordinates obey!"
