Chapter 148: Long Hate Is Not as Good as Water (1)
Mu Shengbai smiled faintly, "Thank you Lord Zhao and all the brothers in advance." ”
Zhao Feng didn't expect Mu Shengbai to really not get oil and salt, and he didn't have the temper of those literati who got angry at every turn and then recited some sour poems, but his anger dissipated unconsciously, and he only snorted coldly and walked back.
He thought that Mu Shengbai was just hard-mouthed, and he would shout tired after walking not far and then enter the carriage, but all the way over, Mu Shengbai really didn't shout tired, but ate and lived with the soldiers and guards, and didn't ask for special treatment, nor did he have the arrogance of no one in his eyes.
Zhao Feng's opinion of Mu Shengbai has changed more and more, but he has no hatred or prejudice at all.
The place they came to first was Mingzhou, where the disaster was most severe, and who knew that as soon as they reached the outside of Mingzhou City, it would be difficult to move an inch.
"Nobles, I beg you to give you something to eat."
"Our family hasn't eaten anything for several days, so please give you something to cushion the old people's stomachs."
"My child hasn't drunk water for several days, so be merciful."
As soon as they approached, they were surrounded by people, those with yellow faces and thin muscles, unclothed, some women still holding a dying child in their arms, and some old people were lying on the ground with their eyelids half-drooping, and if they didn't eat anymore, they might not live long.
The soldiers all changed into the clothes of the guards, but the ruthlessness left on the battlefield could not be concealed, they were like a wealthy family on a trip, and the guards all had weapons in their hands, which was by no means the enemy of the disaster victims who could not even speak.
But even so, the victims with deep fear in their eyes were still unable to resist the temptation of food, and gathered around, but they only lay or sit on the ground so weakly, looking directly at them with empty eyes.
Mu Shengbai was already completely shocked, he had only seen this kind of scene in books, and the numb expressions of those people, the meaninglessness of life deeply shocked him.
Even though Zhao Feng has slashed countless enemy troops on the battlefield and seen mountains of corpses and a sea of blood, he thinks that those people he kills are all worthy of death, after all, there is no right or wrong on the battlefield, only friends and enemies, either you die or I live, and there are thousands of families behind each camp.
Zhao Feng has killed countless people, but he has never killed unarmed people.
Zhao Feng gritted his teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, "If I find out who embezzled this disaster silver, I will definitely kill that person!" ”
"Give them the buns in the carriage."
The young man's crisp voice came from behind, Zhao Feng turned his head, and found that Mu Shengbai was instructing the guards to carry the bread in the carriage, which was the dry food they bought in the county town they had passed through last time, and they bought two bags, and now there was only one bag left.
One soldier asked, "But what if it is all distributed to the victims?" ”
Mu Shengbai's cool eyes drifted towards the towering city gate in front of him, as if he could see something through the closed gate, and his voice was deep, hiding a refreshing coolness, "We'll have it when we go in." ”
They understood what it meant, and immediately distributed the buns to the victims, and seeing them take the buns with tears in their eyes, Mu Shengbai was touched.
A little girl's voice suddenly came from under the "brother", Mu Shengbai lowered his head, only saw a small body, only the eyes were as bright as ever on her dirty face, and she was holding a bun in her hand, "Thank you, brother, you are such a good person." ”
Mu Sheng's white eyes were hot, he jumped off the horse, squatted down and was on the same level as the girl, gently touched the long yellow hair, and plucked the weeds on the top of her head, so seriously, so attentively, "No, it's my brother who is late, so you have to suffer for so long, believe in my brother, you will be able to live a good life soon." ”
Zhao Feng looked at the two of them from a distance, at this moment, to hell with any prejudice and suspicion, how could such a sincere teenager be so unbearable as he originally thought, it must be that he was blind and blind at that time.
After talking with those victims, I learned that they were also from Mingzhou City, but a week ago, the county magistrate suddenly said that they could not provide them with food, and there was no silver in the imperial city, so they were afraid that they would drag others down and drove them out of the city.
The more Zhao Feng listened, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to take an axe to the county magistrate's mansion to cut off the head of the dog official, and let out a bad breath.
Mu Shengbai persuaded him, "Don't be so impulsive, this matter is very important, it is definitely not something that a small county order can do, there must be other high-ranking and powerful people above who hook up with him, if you kill the county order, it will make a fuss, and you will definitely fight back, so this matter still needs to be considered in the long run." ”
Those victims lived in a dilapidated temple not far from the city, and the temple was not big, so they could only crowd people to lean on, so that they could also get warm, Mu Shengbai looked sad.
Late at night, Mu Shengbai told Zhao Feng about his plan, took him and a few guards to the city to figure out the situation, and left the soldiers here.
Found a broken ladder in the broken temple, Mu Shengbai strengthened it and moved to the city wall, climbed up first to see the situation, and found that there were no officers and soldiers guarding it, so Zhao Feng took the others up and sneaked into the city.
Mingzhou City is pitch black, which makes them all a little surprised, whether it is the Imperial City or Jinling City, there will be a portal light on at night, Xu is the senior is fighting at night, Xu is a loving mother sewing clothes for the wanderer, and Xu is the Qinglou singing at night.
But the night of Mingzhou City was as silent as a dead city.
Mu Shengbai suddenly mentioned something soft, and then he heard a muffled sound, and several people immediately became vigilant, and in the dim moonlight, everyone saw a skinny man, who was kicked and opened his eyelids, and quickly closed them.
Mu Shengbai immediately squatted down to probe his snort and breath.
"Get something to eat."
Zhao Feng immediately took out a hot bun from his arms, reluctantly watched it fall into Mu Shengbai's hand, and then a corner was pinched off.
Mu Shengbai helped the man up, poured him a mouthful of water first, and then stuffed the piece of bun into his mouth.
The man chewed a few bites slowly, and then swallowed it, Xu is this bun made him refreshed, he immediately opened his eyes wide, his eyes shot a green light, Mu Shengbai simply gave him all the rest of the buns.
Under Zhao Feng's heart-wrenching expression, his brain stuffed all the buns into it, and then burped.
The man burped, leaned against the wall, panted and said gratefully, "Thank you, I haven't eaten or drunk water for three days, and I thought I was going to die." ”
