How much do 280,000 people eat in a day?

Ma Yue didn't know, but the stored grain and the beasts and wild fruits that were easy to find in Qingxuguan had been eaten three days ago, and now in front of him was a bowl of mixture mixed with plant roots and leaves, just boiled in water, this "vegetable" fiber is extremely coarse, difficult to swallow, but Ma Yue still forced himself to swallow in small bites.

He was surrounded by the three brothers of the Xiong family, who were stationed on the main passage up and down the mountain, and had just led everyone to repel a wave of Yuan troops who went up the mountain to encircle and suppress them with hard objects such as stones.

Some of those who have been wounded by arrows have been transported to the top of the mountain to recuperate, and now they have problems eating and drinking, and the so-called recuperation of their wounds is almost no different from waiting for death.

If Ma Yue is the decision-maker of Longyan Mountain, then the three brothers of the Xiong family are the armed forces here, the three brothers are young, and their appearance is also very similar, they all have square faces and broad mouths, tiger backs and bear waists, and bronze faces with beards.

"Brother, you better go up the mountain, there are so many people on it, and only you can control the scene!"

Without nutritional supplements for a long time, Xiong Daqiang endured the feeling of dizziness, and persuaded Ma Yue angrily.

"Well, if there is any emergency, shout loudly, and I will try to bring people down to help!"

Ma Yue spoke, holding on to the boulder beside him to stand up, and suddenly he almost fell, but fortunately Xiong San supported him.

"Huh? Where did Xiong Er go? Ma Yue's voice was weak, and he looked around slowly.

"Hey, hey! I am back! Look what I've found! ”

Xiong Er came running from a distance at this time, holding something wrapped in leaves in both hands. He ran to the three of them, and slowly opened the gate.

Seeing the contents inside, the three of them couldn't help but snort softly.

Honey!

It turned out to be honey!

The honey overflowing from the hive covered the leaves, yellow and shiny, and the three of them couldn't hold back, wiped it with their fingers and put it in their mouths.

Yes...... It tastes so good......

The three of them closed their eyes at the same time, enjoying a moment of beauty, their bodies were desperately hungry for nutrients, and now the honey in their mouths had already surpassed the elixir.

Several people opened their eyes, waiting to eat more, but their fingers hung above the honeycomb and paused.

Although others can find what they can eat for themselves, they are the only ones who cannot, because the people on the mountain are all rushing to the horses, and just because of this trust, several people can no longer eat.

Xiong Dayi took the beehive, wrapped it in leaves again, and handed it to Ma Yue.

"Brother, bring it and flush it for the people to drink!"

Xiong Da's move also made the other two brothers respond.

"Yes, brother, we are strong, even if we don't eat all day, we can bear it!"

Ma Yue's hands trembled slightly, and the stubbornness of the three brothers made his heart sour. Their brothers are also human beings, they are all the kind of fierce generals who are one in a million, but now they have to suffer with him!

If they wanted to escape before, they could definitely rush out before the army was completely surrounded.

And they can rush out with themselves!

However, for the sake of his trust in Zhao Rui, Ma Yue still decided to stick here and wait for Zhao Rui's rescue!

The master has great powers, and he will definitely be able to rescue these people!

Even if five or six days have passed, Ma Yue still believes in it, because this belief has become the driving force to support him to live!

"One more bite! I'll take it with you after you eat it! ”

Ma Yue opened the blade again, and the three brothers hesitated, but seeing Ma Yue's determined expression, they each ate a little bit.

"Be careful, my master should be there soon!"

Ma Yue rewrapped the leaves, turned and walked up the stairs.

Looking at Ma Yue's thin back, Xiong San couldn't help but sigh: "Brother, he is still obsessed, and I don't know if he can come when he says that person." ”

Xiong Da said indifferently: "The matter has come to this, let's accompany him to the end!" ”

Xiong Er next to him suddenly squatted down, pouting the dirt with a branch.

"Xiong Er, what are you doing here?" The brothers asked in surprise.

"Dig earthworms! Do you eat or not......"

Ma Yue just took a sip of honey, the sweet taste was still lingering in his mouth, and he reminisced, temporarily forgetting the fatigue of mountaineering.

When he climbed to Qingxuguan and was out of breath, he found that people had caught the monkey from nowhere, and the two of them were cleaning up with open stomachs, and there were many people licking their lips behind them.

Others caught a lot of ants, and because the ants were so good at escaping, they threw them into a pot of hot water and then put them in a pan to cook.

Ma Yue ate one, with a sour taste, but the taste was burnt, and it tasted okay.

When they saw the beehive brought back by Ma Yue, the people jumped up excitedly, but then they thought that there were too many people, so they had to boil a large pot of hot water, put the beehive in it and stew, and then give it to the wounded, the old, the young, the sick and the disabled to drink.

I don't know who turned over the wild boar bones that had been discarded before, boiled them vigorously, and then chewed the bones and drank the soup, except for the parts that were too hard and discarded, the rest went into people's stomachs.

Even so, there is always not enough food to eat.

At the beginning, it was not that no one wanted to escape, but how could the people who fled down the mountain outrun the war horses of the Yuan army, they were either shot to death or hacked to death, and there were two people who were picked out of their stomachs and hung on trees, which were specially used by the Yuan army to threaten everyone.

There is no hope of escaping, but everyone is more united, and Ma Yue's role at this time is infinitely magnified!

In order to inspire people, Ma Yue gave many public speeches, saying that his master Zhao Rui's magic power is through the sky, and his divine power is incomparable, and he will definitely bring the heavenly soldiers to save everyone in the future. And Zhao Rui is still the prince of the Song Dynasty, he is the heart of the people, and he is the desire of the people, and everyone can only get a happy and beautiful life under his control.

In order to make his words more credible, Ma Yue also made up imaginary details. said that Zhao Rui would divide the fields and grain for them, and they could eat and support each meal, and there was meat and fish at every meal. said that all the Song army couldn't beat the Tartars, only the prince's army was powerful, and the Tartars were beaten by crying dad and calling mother, fart and urine!

Ma Yue's words were greatly inspiring, and everyone relied on this belief to persist until now. During this time, as if a new religion had been opened, Ma Yue was the messenger, responsible for propagating and disseminating the teachings, and Zhao Rui, the prince who had never been masked, became the true god in everyone's minds.

Several children came over and gathered around Ma Yue, arguing that they were hungry.

Ma Yue was also too hungry, sitting cross-legged on the ground, just telling them some words that "the sky will descend on a great task, hungry body and skin, and hard mind" that the children seem to understand.

The people looked at Ma Yue with admiration in their eyes, it was he who organized the Taoist resistance when the Yuan army attacked, and it was he who accepted everyone in the Taoist temple, and the people also ate up all his stored grain.

Although Ma Yue wanted to help Zhao Rui complete the purpose of gathering the population, the situation at that time was unexpected, it was impossible to break out with so many people, the Yuan army was brutal, basically it was to kill one by one, and if you escaped, you could not avoid the fate of being hunted down, and it would be good if 280,000 people could survive for 20,000 or 30,000 in the end.

Ma Yue was just a bandit leader many years ago, and he changed his career to become a Taoist priest because he felt risky, originally wanting to deceive the pilgrims, but he never thought that he would save people one day, and he still had a sincere idea.

I've been said to be resourceful, but I don't even know myself, it's ridiculous!

The corners of Ma Yue's mouth just loosened a little, but looking at the people all over the mountains, his heart was gloomy again, I'm afraid it won't last long......

"Dada...... Sudden ......"

Everyone suddenly heard a sound similar to firecrackers coming from the foot of the mountain, and they all looked at it strangely, but the obstruction of the woods made them unable to see the situation clearly.

"Bastard Tartar! Dog Tartar! ”

Some young men were directly angry, and said hatefully: "Didn't the Tartars see that we are going to starve to death, and set off firecrackers in advance to celebrate!" It's so deceitful! ”

"Ma Zhenren, I can't stand it! Seeing that there is nothing to eat on the mountain, we still have the strength to fight with them in the end, let's go down the mountain and fight with them! ”

"This ......," Ma Yue frowned and hesitated.

"Can't wait any longer!" A few young men persuaded again: "What is the meaning of people living for a breath, and being starved to death like us!" If you want to die, you have to pull on a cushion, then you will die happily! ”

"Don't be in a hurry, the prince's army is almost here!" People are bloody, these young men may not be able to stop it, Ma Yue has been shaken in his heart but still said so.

"It's okay Ma Zhenren, we think that since the prince has great powers, he will definitely cast spells to protect us! Maybe now is an opportunity, while the Yuan army relaxes its vigilance, let's rush down together! ”

What he said before was now used by the people to convince him, Ma Yue shook his head, there was no way.

"Good! I'm with you! ”

With Ma Yue's response, everyone cheered, and the number of people who rushed to kill was 80,000!

Their faces are ruthless, and they are exactly the posture of the trapped beast!

Perhaps, it can be done?

After forming a team, everyone did not delay any longer, and followed Ma Yue down the mountain with great momentum.

Halfway up the mountain, the three brothers of the Xiong family were also watching, but they still couldn't see anything clearly from here.

Ma Yue led everyone to explain their intentions, and the Xiong brothers and the people in charge of resisting here responded one after another, saying that it should have been done a long time ago, and rushed down the mountain with a huge team of nearly 100,000 people.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom ......"

Then I remembered the sound of explosions that shook the leaves on the mountain.

"Bastard Tartar, don't you have anyone to bully us! Firecrackers again! ”

"It's tolerable, it's unbearable! It's just too deceitful! ”

"Rush!"

"Chop off their dogs' heads ......"

The words that fanned the flames exploded these 100,000 people at once, and most of them were already blank in their minds, thinking about rushing down and slaughtering the dog tartars!

If you want them to die, you can't die a happy death! Pluck their skins, pluck their tendons, chew their flesh, and drink their blood!

These 100,000 people, who were mixed by the Jiaozhi and the Song people, have gone completely crazy.
