Chapter 271: Asking for Forgiveness
The victims of Eagle Town, to a certain extent, are not disaster victims. It's just that there is no harvest this autumn, so I have to plan in advance. Coupled with the people passing by, as well as the correspondence of relatives and friends, they came to Gale Town. Because there were so many people, there was no such thing as a law with gold coins everywhere, and the free supply of two meals a day barely allowed them to stay. Just wait for the harsh winter to February, and then really become the object of Lord Wei's almsgiving.
But the appearance of the lich broke their original plan, and under the bewitchment of the enemy's eighth child, they had the idea of "running for their lives". Except for people and a few spiritual creatures, there are very few creatures in the world who have the ability to prepare for a rainy day. So, seeing the methods of Vajra, they decided to leave this place of right and wrong. It seems that the situation is calm, the man can find a job, and the woman can also do work for the owner to supplement the family, but in fact, this is Master Wei's strategy.
The dead people just now, Master Wei raised the Inhuman, fed us with fattening so that he could take the Inhuman in captivity. This place can't stay, it's too dangerous, so let's find another way. Even if you go to the heavily guarded Tongmu City to drink gruel, it is better than being scared here, and you will be eaten that day.
Humans are very strange species, and once you have an idea, it's hard to get rid of it. Even as time went on, thinking about fahui became more and more urgent. So continuing to wander became the first choice of those pseudo-disaster victims, wrapped in their robes with necessities, and walked into the knee-deep snow cave. Although the road ahead is bleak, it is better than waiting to die, walking towards the endless distance, with a hint of unrealistic thoughts.
As for the people of Rock Town, the situation has improved, and Mo didn't hear the bewitchment of the old man of the Qiu family, and even most of what he heard was taken as a deaf ear. Only a very small number of people have followed the crowd and embarked on an uncertain future. First of all, the victims of Rock Town were threatened by the saber-toothed white tiger and famine, and there was really nowhere to stay before they went to Gale Wind. Secondly, after their arrival, they were warmly welcomed, and the men had military merit and the women had change. Thirdly, the battle happened quickly and ended quickly, and the people of Rock Town came early and stayed close to the city walls, so they learned about it relatively late.
When the news came out, very few people believed it, and for those in absolute predicament, they had already felt it, and this groundless demagogy could not move their hearts. Therefore, many people stopped their fleeing relatives and dissuaded them from leaving, but the effect was not good. In the end, 99 percent of the people in Rock Town stayed, and 80 percent of the people in Eagle Town left.
Due to the temporary lack of military resources, the people of Eagle Town rarely enlist for training, resulting in idleness. At the same time, the various night markets that have sprung up in Gale Town have also made them forget about the impending famine. So with Master Wei in charge of the food all day long, they didn't bother to think about it so much, and when the enemy family made his last words, they almost all chose to leave.
More than 1,000 people dragged their families and walked in the snow for three days, and finally returned to their homeland after a two-month absence. The homes were still there, but most of the houses were inhabited by soldiers, and the red silk cloth on their heads indicated their identity. The officers and soldiers requisitioned their homes, and everyone was driven together at the first time.
The vicious officers and soldiers interrogated each other with weapons, hoping to know everything about Gale Town, but they just went to make a scene, and there was no one who knew the inside of Gale Town. It couldn't intimidate them into kneeling and begging for mercy, and it didn't change the outcome of being held in a collective detention. Men, women, and children were freezing in the cold wind, and they began to miss the warmth of Gale Town. But the reality was on the afternoon of the third day, when the sun was shining, completely shattered their illusions.
Dozens of people who had not eaten a grain of rice for three days were cut down by the officers and soldiers, and the rest began to lie with fear. Therefore, under the leadership of the village chief, they turned around and led the officers and soldiers towards Gale Town. can keep up with the team's best efforts, while the old, weak, sick and disabled go all the way and die all the way. When they arrived twenty miles away from Gale Town, and saw the friendly city wall from afar, there were only more than two hundred people left.
At this time, no one cared about who died, and everyone was wondering if the old man Wei, who had given them warmth and then gave them a gift, would send troops to save them. The young mother walked mechanically through the crowd with her dead baby in her arms, tears drying up. The baby's body had hardened two days earlier, and it was like a stone in its arms. But she still hugged it, reciting nursery rhymes silently as she walked, hoping to wake up the child who was dying of cold and starvation.
"Stop, stop, everyone go to this ditch, the general has arranged to make bacon for you to eat!"
The soldier brandished his sword and pushed the people into the snow pit, and then the five hundred fierce soldiers raised their shovels. People began to cry, a strong instinct to survive, making them eager to live. The body was almost trampled to death, and the stronger ones climbed to the edge of the pit.
"Don't kill us, we led the way, you promised ......"
"Please, my parents are dead, my brother and brother are dead, can you spare me......"
"God, what did we do, and why did you punish us so much......"
"Puff puff!"
The swords and spears were unsheathed and the light was sprinkled through the sky, and the weapons against the demons and monsters were slashed at the people at once.
"Stupid pariahs, what good are you living in the world but wasting food?"
"Let's go down, it's bacon in the spring, haha!"
"It's almost, you can report it to the general, and I'll take care of the remaining two women. ”
Wu Chang took everyone away, and he came to the pit himself, and stretched out his sinful hand to the two women who were shivering and astringent. One was fifteen years old and the other was twenty years old, and he looked extremely haggard and weak because of cold and hunger, but even this could not hide his proper appearance. This team has been out for half a month, and they originally planned to attack Gale Town ten days ago, but the snow didn't stop as soon as it fell. In desperation, they had to stay in Eagle Town, waiting for the snow to stop before carrying out related tasks, but the return of the departed people at this time brought them new hope.
Drove the crowd close to Gale Town, and then, between rumors and the emperor's order, he prepared to ask the three major families of Gale Town for their guilt. To cover up their crimes, they plundered all the people of Eagle Town, including their lives. The last two will also fall under the clutches of the captain, and in the snow pit full of dead people, the two women will hug each other. After a while, only one was still alive, and the girl had made herself covered in blood, and Wu Chang had no choice but to give up on her.
"With such thin clothes, frozen by blood, you won't live more than two hours. ”
Captain Wu walked away with a satisfied smile, but the girl tried not to be afraid, but the threat of death and hunger made her lose consciousness.
"Master Wei, we were wrong, can you forgive us...... "21
