Go out of the city and contact people outside the city!

Staring at Xu Chenglin, Jin Fu asked in a low voice.

"You have contact with the outside of the city now?"

"A little bit ......"

Xu Chenglin was about to answer, when suddenly, Jin Fu's concubine came in in panic and interrupted the conversation between them.

"Master, it's not good, it's not good......"

The concubine, who was already a lustful person, turned pale and cried in blunt Chinese.

"There is already chaos in the yamen, I am going to kill you immediately, I will kill you, sir, if you don't go over and take a look, you won't be able to clean it up......"

Hearing this, Jin Fu was shocked.

"What's the matter? What's going on? Hi Ping! What's going on? ”

The frightened concubine hurriedly replied.

"Didn't the lord tell them to kill the horses? Everyone only shared a pound of meat, and the people in the yamen were all the same. But Su Mingming's dog slave relied on the master's trust in him, not only did he have to cut more meat, but he also had to take away the horse's heart and lungs. The one who divided the meat said no, and the person next to him said no. He immediately pulled out his knife and muttered, "You can't say no, I'll eat your heart and liver together!" When the divider saw that he was about to make a move, he smiled and persuaded him, but he quickly cut more meat, threw it into his hand, and deliberately threw it on the ground. Su Mingliang bent down and was just about to pick up the meat, but the slave who divided the meat jumped up and hacked him to death. As soon as Su Mingliang died, the people in the yamen surrounded him, saying that they wanted to divide his dead body, but some said no, and did not agree to divide his flesh. The more noisy the two sides became, the more fierce they became, and they were about to do it. Master, go quickly, it's going to be messy......"

It has been more than ten years since the concubine entered the Jin Mansion, and although she is not fluent in Chinese, she is still neat, and she speaks it quite clearly.

Jin Fu didn't wait for her to finish, and immediately ran to the side courtyard. Xu Chenglin was afraid that he would not handle it properly, so he followed him closely. When they arrived at the place where the meat was divided in the side courtyard, a group of people were arguing there, and they all drew their knives, and those who did not have knives found a stick to hold them, and they saw that they were about to fight each other.

The scene in front of him made Jin Fu furious, and he was about to scold when he rushed up.

"Old man......"

Xu Chenglin hurriedly pulled him behind his back. Only then did Jin Fu suddenly realize, and understood that now was definitely not the time to scold the servants and servants, and if he scolded again, it would add fuel to the fire, and maybe something would really go wrong.

After a little thought, Jin Fu took two steps forward and knelt on the ground.

"Everyone, kill me quickly, since you want to eat meat, kill me, and then divide the meat among you, and don't eat anyone else."

The people who were originally angry and were about to fight, when they saw the old man kneeling on the ground, they were all scared, some hurried to pick him up, and more hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting "don't dare", and some sneaked away.

Seeing that everyone was no longer arguing, Jin Fucai stood up and ordered:

"The current situation, everyone is similar, you are starving, I have not eaten enough, each of you has a pound of meat, you can temporarily fill your stomach. The remaining meat, I, Jin, will never eat it privately, and I will share it with everyone again tomorrow, and I can stew some miscellaneous soup in horse skin, heart and lungs, and large intestine. Su Mingliang has been with me for many years, and he is also a person who has contributed to it, I can't watch him being eaten by everyone, let alone see everyone killing each other, you eat me, I eat you. Now I beg you to bury him so that he can return to heaven in peace. ”

Speaking of this, Jin Fu couldn't help but shed tears, and at the same time kept waving towards the crowd.

The people kneeling on the ground hurriedly kowtowed and replied.

"Please rest assured, master, we will go and bury him immediately."

Then someone went to carry Su Mingming's dead body.

Where his body was buried, Jin Fu didn't care, and he didn't care, he knew very well that maybe as soon as it was buried here, someone would dig up the body, and then it would be cut down and stewed into a pot of soup, but at that time, it was not for him to ask.

Subsequently, Jin Fu instructed the housekeeper to go to the kitchen to watch the cleaning up of horse skins, horse intestines, heart and lungs and other miscellaneous pieces, and instructed him to stew a pot of soup first, so that everyone could eat a bowl. Then, he returned to the signing room with Xu Cheng. After sitting down, the two were relatively silent, only sighing from time to time.

Although the two were relatively speechless and just sighed, the two of them knew that it was time to discuss countermeasures now that it was time to discuss the situation.

After being silent for a while, Jin Fu looked at Xu Chenglin, Xu Chenglin looked at him, and in the end, Jin Fu couldn't help but ask.

"Can you really get out of town?"

Although Jin Fu has a connection with the outside of the city, now every time he responds to others outside the city, he is a little impatient and always asks him to wait.

If he waits like this, even if he doesn't starve to death, sooner or later he will have to be killed by the rebels.

"It's not easy to contact the Ming army now, not to mention anything else, it's not easy to enter the position of the Ming army, after all, the firearms of the Ming army are not forgiving, and a few days ago someone dragged their families and wanted to escape, and just half of the way, they were killed by a mine......

Despite mentioning death, Xu Chenglin's tone still seemed very calm, and then, he said in a low voice.

"However, it's not impossible, Mr. Chen knows that there is still a way to contact the Ming army!"

"Can you still get in touch?"

Jin Fu said in a low voice.

"Hurry up and do it. I must not sit back and wait for Jingnan to collapse and die at the hands of the rebellious people! ”

The net was wrapped in paper, the head in his arms, and on the way home, Huang Lao Liu's hand pressed the waist knife, and looked around with vigilant eyes from time to time. Occasionally, he would run into passers-by whose eyes frightened him and sent a chill down his back.

However, even so, he still put on a lofty appearance, he knew that as long as he showed a trace of timidity, maybe he would not be able to go far, and a person would come out of the roadside, and then he would be stabbed at him, and in half an hour, he would become the meat in other people's mouths and stomachs.

In these years, the first living person in Jingnan City is the "two-legged sheep" in the book.

The fiery sunset shrouded Jingnan City, and there were red lights everywhere, but in the eyes of Huang Lao Liu, all of this was gloomy, especially the red sunset reflected the red in the sky, in his opinion, it was even more terrifying to the extreme, just like ...... The smell of blood.

A gust of autumn wind blew, and Huang Lao Liu felt a chill on his body. The wind sent a fishy smell, what kind of smell is this?

Maybe it's the taste of "two-legged sheep". When people are hungry, they can do anything.

As a servant, Huang Laoliu has seen a lot of tragic things in the yamen for a while. Not to mention the cannibalism of Yi children, it is the matter of tiger poison eating children, it is not strange. In order to survive, the people in the city do not know how many unconscionable things they have done.

"Fate......"

Huang Lao Liu sighed and tightened the piece of meat in his arms, this piece of horse meat could make the family last a few more days.

Turning into the alley where he went home, when Huang Lao Liu stepped into the alley, thinking that he was walking alone in the empty alley, and when he still had a piece of meat in his arms, although he was holding a waist knife in his hand and wearing the uniform of a servant, his heart was still not steady, after all, people can do anything when they are hungry, and there is no official in the eyes of those people, it is the master of five and six grades, if he is undecided, he will become meat in the pot.

"No, you have to hurry up and ......"

Thinking of what he heard in the yamen, a five-grade old man went out and never went back, Huang Lao Liu couldn't help but be even more nervous, he hurriedly quickened his pace, hoping to get home as soon as possible. Although he had eaten a bowl of stewed soup made of horse skin, horse intestines, and dirty heart in the yamen before, because of long-term hunger, he did not have any strength in his body, and he sweated after walking for a while, and kept panting, and his heart became more and more panicked, beating faster and faster.

"Why don't you take a breath first......"

As soon as the thought came to him, he heard footsteps coming from behind him.

"Shouldn't it be ......?"

Nervous in his heart, Huang Lao Liu looked back and saw two people following him closely. Although the two men couldn't see each other clearly, they could see that their eyes were cold. And the two of them were obviously stronger than him, and they walked very fast, and they were getting closer and closer away from him.

Huang Lao Liu, who was extremely nervous, only felt a cold sweat on his back, and he wanted to draw the knife, but he didn't have any strength in his body.

"Otherwise, give them the meat ......."

As soon as this thought came to him, he thought about how a pound of meat could save his life.

It seems that he will definitely die at the hands of these two people this day, and he will be killed by them, thrown into the pot, stewed and eaten, just like those who have disappeared and have not been heard from. Huang Lao Liu, who was palpitating in his heart, thought of his wife and children again, they would definitely starve to death, maybe, when they were almost hungry, they would be snatched away, and then ......

Thinking that his wife and children might be like himself, turning into two-legged sheep, Huang Lao Liu suddenly gained strength, and he pulled out his knife at once.

As he drew his knife, the two men were visibly stunned, but they still walked towards this side, their weapons in their hands.

Staring at the two people who were walking towards him, two people suddenly walked out of another alley next to him, Huang Laoliu looked at it, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, it was his neighbors, Li Tiezhu and Li Tieta, they were two brothers, they were still carrying fire guns, wearing uniforms, obviously just came out of the barracks.

The two of them didn't expect to meet Huang Lao Liu here, but when they saw his frightened and panting appearance, Li Tiezhu hurriedly stepped forward and shouted:

"Sixth brother, sixth brother, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing the two of them, Huang Lao Liu understood that he was saved, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go home, you have just returned from the camp, and you still have a firecracker......

Turning back again, the two men had stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then turned away. Looking at the two people who turned to leave, Li Tiezhu almost understood.

"They're catching sheep?"

Sheep catchers, this is what the people in the city call some people, they will catch those lonely "two-legged sheep" in the city, and I don't know how many people have gone out alone for a while, and there is no news.

Li Tieta, who was carrying a cloth bag in his hand, complained.

"Sixth brother, you are too careless. When did you dare to come out alone? ”

"Isn't this an errand in the yamen......

Huang Laoliu explained.

"When I was on an errand in the yamen, I could always mix a bowl of gruel, which could save a mouthful of food for my family. I can't watch my family starve to death. ”

Li Tieta asked in surprise.

"Is there still food in the yamen?"

"What's the food there? It's all saved from his mouth by the big man......"

Huang Laoliu said gratefully.

"The big master is different from others! He saved food from his own rations, and kept the big guy to eat a meal of gruel every day, although he couldn't eat enough, but he could also hang his life! If I don't die, I will never forget the kindness of the eldest master for the rest of my life......"

"Lord Jin is also quite kind......

Li Tiezhu nodded and said.

"But no matter what, in the future, one person should be more careful, or form a group with the people in the yamen to come out and be safe."

Huang Lao Liu nodded again and again.

"I was too careless this time! Those two must have been chasing me just now, and if you were one step too late, I'd be done. How did you two come back at this time? Isn't it a two-day errand in the camp and a two-day break? ”

"There is no food supply in the camp now, and now it is a one-day errand and two days off, so that we can save one day's rations......"

Li Tieta scolded.

"Grandson Turtle, those masters always want to eat from our mouths, what are they all about......"

"But it's not, let them sell their lives, and don't give us food to eat, if we continue like this, we will starve to death without waiting for the Ming army to call......"

The two of them complained one by one, and in the end, Li Tiezhu scolded and said.

"Damn, it's really not good, Lao Tzu will escape, escape, damn it, even if you let the mine blow up, it's better than starving to death!"

"But no, even if it is blown up, it can always end up with a whole corpse, put it to death, maybe if it is buried here, it will be eaten by others over there......"

"Hey, this Jingnan is like hell right now, but if there is a way to live, it's better to plan as soon as possible......"

Huang Lao Liu sighed, and then glanced at the two of them.

"Aren't you two on an errand outside the city? Do you know how you get there when you get out of town? ”

The side in his mouth refers to the side of the Ming army.

"Over there? It's not a good feeling, there are mines everywhere, not to mention, they are still aiming at us with firecrackers, if we don't get killed by mines here, maybe we will be killed by firecrackers......"

Listen to the two of them. Huang Lao Liu, who was silent, followed them home.

When passing by a house with a wide open door, Huang Laoliu and the two brothers Tiezhu and Tieta glanced at each other, only to see that the door of this house was wide open, and it was already empty.

"Don't look at it, if the door is open, the person will definitely be gone......"

Huang Lao Liu sighed, then looked into the distance, and finally pursed his lips and said.

"If you stay in this city, you will die sooner or later......"
