Chapter 176: Expedition

Su Cimo felt very uncomfortable, but thinking of Tuoba Heng's words, he didn't take what he just saw to heart anymore, and Tuoba Heng took the team away for a while.

Tuoba Heng looked at the road ahead, then turned his eyes to Chen Feng who was following him and said, "Chen Feng, you have been following Su Cimo from now on, you must protect the safety of the Prime Minister." ”

"Yes." Chen Feng replied with his hand.

Su Cimo couldn't figure out why Tuoba Heng did this, but she quickly figured out that Tuoba Heng was only doing this to protect her.

"No, you are the master and you can't make any mistakes, Chen Feng should always be by your side to protect you!" Su Cimo said, with a solemn face.

Tuoba Heng immediately frowned when he heard this, and then said to Su Cimo: "No, you are now a military advisor in the army, the lifeblood of our whole team, your life is more important, if something goes wrong, how can you tell me to go back and explain to Su Mu?" ”

When Su Cimo heard Tuoba Heng's words, his face immediately turned slightly red, and he was embarrassed to continue to excuse himself, so he could only nod and say, "Okay then." ”

Tuoba Heng stretched his eyebrows at this time, and did not continue to trouble Su Cimo.

The two of them continued to ride towards the tumultuous land, when suddenly there were many more homeless people on the road, all of them looking very embarrassed, all unkempt, as if they had not eaten for a long time.

Su Cimo asked an elderly woman on the side, "Mother-in-law, where are you from!?" ”

The mother-in-law glanced at Su Cimo, then smiled at Su Cimo, leaked out her white teeth and asked, "Do you have anything to eat, do you have something to eat!?" ”

After saying this, she stretched out her dirty hand and wanted to come over and grab Su Cimo's white horse, Su Cimo was a little angry.

It turned out that the mother-in-law was a fool, Su Cimo suddenly panicked and left her side, and the group continued to walk forward, suddenly, everyone saw a group of homeless people gathered around like a group of wolves in the middle of picking up something to eat, Tuoba Heng and Su Cimo brought the horse closer, but saw that those people were eating like a child's corpse, they all looked like they didn't care about anything, grabbed the skin and flesh of the dead child and stuffed it into their mouths, which looked very terrible.

Like a pack of wolves that drink blood.

When the group of homeless people saw Tuoba Heng and Su Cimo coming over with the officers and soldiers all the way, they all acted as if they hadn't seen anything, and they knew that the officers and soldiers would not pity them as if they hadn't seen it.

Su Cimo saw that she felt that her worldview was suddenly subverted, and she was ready to draw her sword and stop those outcasts from doing this.

But Tuoba Heng hasn't done it yet, Su Cimo is afraid that if he goes alone, so many evil men will hurt him.

So Su Cimo immediately got off the horse and said to Tuoba Heng beside him: "Tuoba Heng, look at those people, they even ate their own children, you hurry down and take care of them!" ”

Tuoba Heng looked at those homeless people, as if he was used to seeing this scene, he only frowned slightly, and then drove his horse on.

Su Cimo was a little shocked, Tuoba Heng, as an official of the imperial court, actually treated the people of a country like this, Su Cimo said angrily to Tuoba Heng: "Tuoba Heng, didn't you hear!?" ”

Su Cimo's face obviously became a little ugly.

But Tuoba Heng didn't have time to care about it at all, and then turned his head and said to Su Cimo, "The front is where the robbers are infested, we don't have the time to control these people, I'll send you to the bottom of the mountain, you hide first, if there is anything, Chen Feng will report to you." ”

After Tuoba Heng said this, he led the team towards the road ahead.

Su Cimo was angry, she had never seen such a cold-blooded and ruthless person as Tuoba Heng, Su Cimo watched Tuoba Heng ride a horse farther and farther, but he didn't follow immediately according to his instructions, but walked to another place by himself.

Su Cimo walked to the place where the people who ate the dead bodies of children were farther away, and there were several women sitting on the ground crying with a sad look.

Su Cimo walked to the woman's side and asked, "This eldest sister, I don't know what happened to you, why did you stay here halfway!?" ”

The woman saw that Su Cimo was a man, and she didn't look like a bad person in a brocade robe, on the contrary, Su Cimo's face looked like a very soft feeling.

The woman didn't hide it, and said to Su Cimo: "My child, they have eaten my child. ”

Su Cimo looked shocked, and then asked, "What the hell is going on, why do you want to eat people!?" ”

Su Cimo really couldn't understand, even if he was too hungry, then he could go to the woods on the side of the road to find some wild fruit tree roots to satisfy his hunger, but these homeless people ate children's bodies like crazy.

Moreover, Su Cimo had already seen that the child's head had been broken, even if she did it again at that time, it would be too late.

"We were all people who rushed all the way from Huangzhou to the capital to make a living, but we encountered robbers on the way that day, and the robbers smashed the grain cart that smuggled us to the palace to pay tribute, and took us all down, and endured some beating and torture." The woman began to weep bitterly as she said this, and her expression was distressed.

Su Cimo couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, her nose was sour, but thinking that she was a prime minister and couldn't cry easily in front of people, she held on and didn't cry, if the woman saw him crying, she would definitely feel even more disappointed, and even felt that she would definitely be helpless.

"It's okay, eldest sister, you continue." Su Cimo said.

So the eldest sister nodded with a useful look and continued: "My son has an old disease, and we came to Beijing this time just to find a good doctor for him to see a doctor, but those bandits beat my child and still came down the mountain, and robbed all our belongings. So gradually they began to eat the flesh of the dead, and when they died, immediately someone went up and snatched the good meat from them. ”

The woman's eyes widened in horror and said, Su Cimo couldn't believe that she could hear in reality that such a thing would happen around her, she frowned slightly, on the one hand, she was indignant at the injustice of this world, and on the other hand, she felt sorry for the people who were sinned, and she was still being chewed up when she died of illness, which was really miserable.

"And your son?" Su Cimo was a little curious, didn't he say that he was just sick? Could there be anything strange going on here?

"My son is dying this morning, and he doesn't respond to any of my calls. So the man who took the lead in cannibalism, when he saw me doing this, did not mention how happy he was, so he asked those people to snatch my son and eat my son's body together. The woman's tears fell in large numbers, and the sound of a sad scream almost broke her heart.

Su Cimo couldn't hold back no matter how much he couldn't hold back, and he shed a few tears.

Suddenly, Su Cimo stood up, picked up the long sword in his hand, and then went to the woods that were still some distance away.

Although Su Cimo doesn't often do these things, she is very confident to do these things well, so she climbed the mountain hard, and finally found a tree with wild dates after looking for a long time, Su Cimo immediately shook the tree, and a few dates fell from the tree, she was still unwilling, and found a way to climb the tree, and then picked some more.

After picking the wild fruits, Su Cimo used the hem of her clothes to pack all the fruits, and then she walked back with the wild fruits that had just been picked, and those people left the child's body, but there were still some people wandering around the corpse.

Su Cimo immediately went over and left those wild fruits on the ground for those who were about to starve to death.

"Whoever is hungry let him eat the fruit, and let him eat no more the flesh of the dead." Su Cimo shouted loudly, and when those people heard this, they immediately looked at her with ugly faces.

Su Cimo endured a strong feeling of nausea and discomfort, dug a small pit in the ground with a sword, and then took the woman and walked towards Su Cimo, she reached out and picked up the body of her child, her face was full of tears.

The woman buried the child in the pit dug by Su Cimo, although she imagined that the child's corpse would be ugly, but when she saw the blurred flesh and blood, Su Cimo was still disgusted and couldn't hold back the churning feeling in her stomach.

Su Cimo rushed to the side of the road all of a sudden, and then retched on the side.

The man looked at Su Cimo for a long time, he looked at him in clean clothes, and actually helped the woman bury the child's body, and immediately became unhappy.

The homeless people on the side of the man looked away, and they knew what their boss was going to do.

Seeing the woman bury the child's body on the side of the road, Su Cimo's heart finally calmed down a little, she didn't expect this era to be so cruel and ruthless, fortunately, she was born in Su Cimo's body, so she didn't have to suffer these hardships and tortures.

"Hey! Why are you here!? Aren't you here as an officer and soldier!? Why are you meddling with us here!? The man said.

Su Cimo heard the man talking behind his back, and he hurriedly turned to look at the cold and terrifying man.

"I'm not an officer or soldier, but I'm someone who can manage you! Why don't you go into the city and gather here to do something!? Su Cimo asked in a cold tone.

"Hmph, it's okay to tell you, we were originally outcasts, and it was a capital crime for the officers and soldiers of the Imperial City to catch us, and now it's just a death sentence to go in!" The man said.

"So you'd rather eat dead flesh here than go into the city to receive help from the government, right!?"
