Chapter 198: That's How I Survived
The news of Su Yitong's waking up soon reached the ears of Yu Wushuang and Pei Ciwei, and the two hurried over to say a few words of greeting, and after making sure that she was okay, they all went to their respective businesses.
At noon, the middle-aged doctor who treated Su Yitong last night was invited to the prefect's yamen again. Feng Feiyi kept an eye on it, and asked a few more words to the official in the house, so as to learn that the middle-aged doctor's surname was Liu, who was a famous doctor in Bianzhou City before, because of the flood in the city some time ago, he went out to take refuge and has been wandering, and later heard that Bianzhou City was being newly built, so he couldn't wait to rush back, and he just entered the city in the past two days.
Under the threat and intimidation of Feng Feiyi, Dr. Liu trembled and checked Su Yitong's pulse, prescribed a prescription, and slipped away with the medicine box.
In this regard, Feng Feiyi turned a blind eye and did not see it.
The guards of the Regent's palace were all wiped out, and Yun Du was seriously injured and thrown on the carriage, and it is not known what the situation was. Therefore, there was no one available next to Feng Feiyi, and the matter of serving Su Yitong naturally fell on his head.
Su Yitong couldn't speak, so he could only lie on the couch helplessly and watch Feng Feiyi busy in and out, and his heart was inexplicable.
Su Yitong lay on the couch for three days in a row before finally getting Feng Feiyi's permission to go down to the ground.
And Yu Wushuang, although he was so busy all day that he couldn't see anyone, he didn't even bother to say a word to Su Yitong, but the precious tonic seemed to be sent to Su Yitong's house all day long. If it weren't for Feng Feiyi's good temper, Su Yitong felt that he would probably beat Yu Wushuang violently.
In fact, Feng Feiyi really beat Yu Wushuang violently.
Dr. Liu has also come to see Su Yitong several times intermittently in the past two days, but every time he comes to the house, he will solemnly say goodbye to his family at home in advance before going out.
This was repeated several times, and the rumors in the city that Dr. Liu was a fool slowly spread.
After the injury was almost healed and he was able to come and go freely, Su Yitong immediately wrote a letter and asked him to send him back to the capital overnight.
On that day, all the hundred guards of the Regent's Mansion died twenty miles outside Luoyi City, and it stands to reason that even if Mo Qingchen covered the news tightly, he wouldn't be able to hide it for long. But after some careful questioning by Su Yitong, he learned that what happened outside Luoyi City that day was completely sealed, and it did not reach the neighboring Bianzhou at all. And Feng Feiyi was worried about her injury during this time, so he put almost all his thoughts on her, but he forgot to tell Pei Ciwu and Yu Wushuang Luoyi what happened.
Now it has been more than a month since Su Yitong left Bianzhou last time, and today's Bianzhou City has already regained its prosperity with the joint efforts of the people, or in other words, the current Bianzhou City is only better than in the past.
As soon as this news came out, merchants from all over the world came to hear the news and spent a lot of money just to buy a shop in the city. For a time, inside and outside the city, there were crowds of people, and the customers at the entrance of the newly opened shops in the city were endless, and they could earn hundreds of gold in one day.
For this reason, the shopkeepers were so happy that they showed their big white teeth and smiled brightly.
Of course, compared with these small profits of the businessmen, Yu Wushuang, the behind-the-scenes shopkeeper, is too busy to count the money all day long. He never thought that it would bring him such a big benefit just because he helped Su Yitong on a whim. So, from this day on, Yu Wushuang has always maintained a belief in his heart, follow Brother Su, and have meat to eat.
As the saying goes, without a cold bone, how to get the plum blossom fragrance.
After this incident, Su Yitong can be regarded as a wise monarch praised by everyone in the world, and the first generation of Ming monarch in the history of leaving the country.
Bianzhou City has regained its prosperity, but there is still no trace of the disappearance of disaster relief grain and grass for no reason, so after Su Yitong, Feng Feiyi, Pei Ciwei, Yu Wushuang and other four people talked thoroughly all night, Pei Ciwei temporarily took the post of Bianzhou prefect, stayed in Bianzhou, and continued to investigate the disappearance of disaster relief money and grain.
Yu Wushuang was responsible for managing business in the city, as well as law and order in the city.
Because most of the people in the court have been involved in embezzlement of disaster relief money and food, and Su Yitong has been so busy with natural disasters and other important matters that she has no time to rectify the court in recent times, so for her, there are very few people in the court who can be used by her, but whenever there is a heavy task, Su Yitong is only available to Pei Ciwu, Zuo Li and a few others.
Therefore, when the number of people is insufficient, Yu Wushuang becomes a member of the indiscriminate filling.
Su Yitong and Feng Feiyi stayed in Bianzhou for two more days before they received a flying pigeon message from Jun Moyan from the capital, so that night, Su Yitong and Feng Feiyi took five hundred soldiers from Bianzhou City to Luoyi overnight.
In the past few days when the good news came out of Bianzhou one after another, Luoyi was still like a dead city, and there was no movement. During this period, Pei Ciwei also sent someone to check the specific situation, but unfortunately, as Su Yitong said, the people inside couldn't get out, and the people outside couldn't get in.
That day, after Feng Feiyi left with Su Yitong in his arms, the seriously injured Yun Jue was disposed of as a dead body and thrown into Luoyi City to serve as dry food for the people in the city.
However, compared with Su Yitong, Yun Jue's luck was really good, on the night he was thrown into Luoyi City, when even he thought that he would definitely die, Yue Lian, who had disappeared for a long time, appeared out of nowhere and saved his life.
There is a shortage of food and water in the city of Luoyi, and the people in the city have been hungry and sick for a long time, and in order to survive, they have long lost their humanity.
When Yuelian first sneaked in, she had vomited several times due to nausea. But later, when she was so hungry that she had no strength, she could only wait for death, waiting for the moment when she was eaten by others, she finally put down her arrogant posture, endured nausea, and chewed raw human flesh and drank human blood one bite at a time, just like those refugees. It was also at that moment that she suddenly understood that death is not terrible, but it is really terrible to want to live.
She has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child, she has a worry-free life, she can have whatever she wants, and she usually finds it difficult to swallow even the buns she buys on the street. But now, let alone a bun, even if she is given a grass, she is afraid that she will not hesitate to stuff it into her mouth.
During the two days that Yun Jue was unconscious, Yue Lian would think of feeding him fresh blood in a vessel every day. At first, Yun Jue would subconsciously refuse, but the next day, when Yue Lian brought blood again, she just put the utensils to his lips, and he would open his mouth to follow the smell, and then drink it all with her help.
Many people die in the city every day, the old and weak, women and children, hundreds of deaths, and everyone who sees them is terrified, but even so, they know in their hearts more than anything else, and if they want to live, they can only endure it.
Several gates of Luoyi City are guarded, this is something that the people in the city know, before, when there was still food in the city, there were still people who tried to break through the city gate and run out of this human purgatory, but as a result, there was only a dead end.
Those who die will be thrown at the gates by those who guard them, and their bodies will rot and stink. In the beginning, there were still many people in the city who would look at the corpses like moon ripples and gag, but in the end, in order to survive, who could care so much?!
As long as you can live, what about eating human flesh? What about eating carrion? As long as they live, what else can't they do? Inedible?!
The first thing Yun Jue saw after waking up was Moon Ripple holding a piece of raw meat in his hand. "Princess Yuelian, ...... you" He looked around blankly, and then asked, "Why are you here, and, where is this?" ”
"Now, eat this, and I'll tell you again." Yue Lian sent the raw meat in front of Yun Jue, and said with an expressionless face.
"Raw meat?" Yun Du swallowed, looked at her suspiciously, and said, "Are you sure I want to eat it raw?" ”
"Or else?" There was no joy or anger in Yue Lian's voice, as if the torture of this period of time had worn out her temperament, and there was no emotional ups and downs.
"This ...... Not good. Yun Jue was embarrassed and said: "Moreover, I'm not used to eating raw, what if I eat it and kill people?" ”
"If you eat, you can live, if you don't eat, you will only die." Yue Lian put the meat on the ground, walked to a clearing in front of him and sat down, looked up at the sky and said in a daze: "Yun Du, we are now in Luoyi City,"
"What?!"
As soon as her words fell, Yun Jue suddenly woke up, and was about to get up, but as soon as his body moved, his chest hurt terribly, as if his heart was tearing his lungs.
Yue Lian turned around to look at him when she heard the movement, and still said expressionlessly: "Don't move, your internal injuries are very serious, and you can only heal by relying on your own exercises." ”
"Then ...... you" Yun Jue sat back again, his back against the wall, his face distorted in pain, "How did you get in?" ”
Moon Lian shook her head. "I don't know, as soon as I arrived at the place agreed with my brother, I was knocked unconscious, and when I woke up again, I arrived here."
"Hey!" Yun Jue sighed and said worriedly: "I don't know what happened to the master and the emperor!" ”
He still remembered that the guards of the Regent's Mansion had been wiped out before he fell unconscious, and there were still hundreds of people led by Mo Qingchen at that time. The number of people alone is a hundredfold.
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and Yun decided to rush to the outside of Luoyi City now to see if there was any sign that his master had escaped.
However, when he thought like this, Yue Lian sneered, interrupting his thoughts, "Huh...... Death is coming, you still have the heart to care about others, you still have to care about yourself! ”
Yun looked at her puzzled.
Yue Lian stretched out his hand and pointed to the piece of raw flesh that was still stained with blood, and said expressionlessly: "See, it's human flesh, human flesh cut from a dead person." ”
When Yun Jue heard this, his face suddenly changed, he was shocked and frightened, and his eyes were even more puzzled.
"What do you think I'm doing?" Yue Lian smiled bitterly: "The people in the city all survive by eating the flesh of this dead man, of course ......" After a pause, she said lightly word by word: "That's how I survived......"
