Wang Dali's dream was shattered before it could start, but no matter if the dream was broken or his heart was broken, the days would go on. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The soup kitchen at the info Guanyin Gate continues, but the porridge that was already thin is getting thinner and thinner day by day, and more and more people are rushing to hear the news.

For a big man like Wang Dali, these gruels were not enough, but now the gruel is thinner, and he is more and more hungry. There are already rumors in the crowd that the price of rice has skyrocketed, and it has reached the point of five dollars a bucket of silver. This price is actually not uncommon in the north, and it is said that there are one or two silver and a bucket in Liaodong. But in Jiangnan, the price is still frighteningly high. Many people say that the good man could no longer afford to buy food. In addition, there is a legend that the rice in each rice shop has been sold out, and there is no price at all, and there is no rice with silver.

Later, among the crowd, there was a new rumor that in fact, there was rice in those rice shops, but the black-hearted rice shop owners colluded together to hoard Juqi, so that after everyone had eaten the stored grain, they would sell it at a sky-high price. It is said that there is a nose and an eye.

"How do you know there's rice in the shop?" Wang Dali asked.

"Dali, you still don't know about the Dahong rice store?" A man shouted in surprise.

"I don't know." Wang vigorously shook his head. He recognized the man, the man's surname was Li, because he had a face of hemp, so people called him Li Mazi, but as for what the original name was, no one knew.

"This Dahong rice shop is said to be a rice shop in Lu Town in the west, and they said six or seven days ago that the rice was sold out and there was no rice. Two nights ago, a group of heroes smashed open this rice shop together, oh my God, it is said that the rice warehouse is full of grain, all of which are sacks of fine white rice, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of stones! Those good men couldn't take that much themselves, so they let the people on the street share the ...... casually," Li Mazi said. And a crowd of listeners quickly gathered around him.

"What did you do later...... Wang Dali's heart thumped, and his face turned red.

"Later? Naturally, someone from the government came. When the people from the government came, those good men naturally left a long time ago, but those who came later were caught and sent to the city of Nanjing, interrogated overnight, and then their heads were cut off the next day, and now their heads are hanging on the city gate. And the man said.

"Huh?" Wang Dali couldn't help but be taken aback, and only felt like a scoop of ice water poured on his head, but he didn't give up completely, so he asked again: "Why didn't I see it at the city gate?" ”

"It's not this gate, how many gates are there in Nanjing City, do you know this dirt bun?" The man said disdainfully.

"If you want me to say that those people are too stupid, too greedy, take less, move faster, hide the rice well, and the people in the government can find it? If you can't find it, isn't that your own? Another man said.

Hearing this, Wang Dali couldn't help but nod in his heart, thinking: "If I, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, grab a bag first, and then run directly into the mountain, hide in it and eat it before ......."

"Now there are more and more people, but the porridge is getting less and less, I am afraid that sooner or later I will starve to death, it is better to take advantage of the strength...... Even if you want to die, you have to be a full ghost, don't you? Besides, it is necessary to die in the sky and not die for thousands of years. What are you afraid of? There are so many of us here, I know that a little further east is Wangjiaji, and there is also a rice shop there......" said another person.

Wang Dali's eyes lit up, and his heart thumped again.

"Don't talk nonsense! That's a head-killing thing! Is there still porridge to drink here? But someone suddenly flinched.

"You're not afraid of death, you're going! Now I hear that the rice shops are moving rice to the city. It's inside the city of Nanjing. Look at such a high city wall, it was all built when Hong Wuye was in his time, and there are so many officers and soldiers, you want to die yourself! Someone even retorted with reason.

Wang Dali is also hungry now, to say that he is not moved at all when he hears about the rice shop, it is absolutely fake. It's just that after hearing these words, he was also discouraged, besides, if he really wanted to do it, he dared to mix in the crowd, and if he really wanted him to rush forward, he wouldn't dare.

"The law does not blame the public, there are so many of us, and the court ......" There are still people who do not give up.

"The law does not hold the public accountable? If you dare to rob rice, you are a robber and a rebellion! When the court kills those thieves, which time is either a single kill or tens of thousands? If you want to die, don't harm everyone! In the end, in such a sentence, everyone dispersed with a bang.

Although the brewing of this rice commotion ended with everyone scattering in a hurry, the uneasiness gradually grew, more people gathered together, and less and less supplies made the people here more and more nervous, and brawls became commonplace, and even the officials did not care too much, in fact, the officials were very sensitive to the smell of danger, so they rarely came to the crowd. And Ma Laoshi's porridge is becoming more and more insufficient, and many people will have to eat a bowl for a day or two.

"Vigorously! Vigorously! Wang Dali was already dizzy from hunger, but when he heard someone calling him, he raised his head and saw that it was Li Mazi who was talking about robbing the Dahong rice shop that day. Wang Dali was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to do so, so he just sat on the ground and didn't stand up. I don't seem to have seen him in the past two days, but now I see that Li Mazi seems to be a little better than a few days ago, walking very steadily, and even carrying the wind.

"What's the matter?" Wang Dali asked.

Li Mazi sat down beside Wang Dali, lowered his voice and said, "There is a good thing, you know, don't shout that everyone knows, then it's not good." We heard that there are also people in Wangjiaji in the east of the city who give porridge, which is more than here, and there is a big bowl. Just want to go over. It's just that there are dozens of miles to go, and now the road is not smooth, so I am ready to call a few brothers to go together. There can't be many people, but you can't let everyone know about it, otherwise, they won't all go there and not enough to eat. ”

As soon as Wang Dali heard that there was something to eat, he suddenly came to his senses, he looked left and right, and also lowered his voice and said, "Really? Brother Li, you are really my reborn parent! Let's go! ”

"Don't worry, I'll call two more people." Li Mazi stood up and said.

After a while, Li Mazi came over with three people, but they were all acquaintances, including Liu Laogen, Guo Dagang, and Zhang Manzi. But these people were also so hungry that they could only walk with sticks that they had gotten out of nowhere.

"Alright, everyone is ready." Li Mazi lowered his voice, looked up at the sky again, and said, "We have to leave quickly, otherwise, we won't be able to arrive before dark." ”

Wang vigorously tried to stand up, he had eaten a bowl of porridge yesterday, and dug up a few earthworms to eat, and he barely had the strength to walk. A few people slowly walked out of the crowd, and now there are tens of thousands of people here, but most people didn't pay attention to them, and they slowly walked out of the crowd. Just as they were about to leave the crowd, someone suddenly shouted to them: "Brother Dali, where are you going?" ”

Wang Dali turned his head, but saw that the person who called him was Dong Erhei. Before he could answer, Li Mazi replied first: "Let's go to the river to drink some water, and by the way see what we can pick up." ”

Dong Erhei stopped making a sound, and until now he still hasn't found his wife and children.

Wang Dali and a few people walked out of the crowd and walked slowly along the road, because there was nothing in their stomachs, and everyone had little strength, so they had to sit down and breathe for a while if they couldn't go far. When he sat down to rest, Wang Dali would lower his head and look for ants or other insects on the ground, although these things were small and did not taste very good, but at least they were something to eat.

I walked around for a long time, and there were fewer and fewer people around. After another break, Li Mazi said:

"If you go like this, I'm afraid you may not be able to walk until it gets dark."

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, we don't have tigers and leopards here. Even if there are bad people, they won't fight the idea of a poor ghost like us. Liu Laogen said with a stick. While speaking, he stared at Wang Dali with his eyes, his eyes were sharp, like a knife, and Wang Dali's heart was a little hairy.

"Brother Dali, let's get up and go." Li Mazi said, "After walking through the woods, it will not be far." ”

Wang Dali looked over there, and saw that the road was crooked into a forest, the forest was not large, it was all miscellaneous trees, it seemed that it should be a forest where people from the neighborhood were collecting firewood. He stretched out his hand and said, "Okay, let's go, who will pull me." ”

Li Mazi stretched out his hand and pulled it, Wang Dali stood up with this strength, and then he didn't say much, so he walked to the forest with a few people, and soon several people walked into the forest.

The forest is not big, but the trees grow very densely, and the big trees on both sides of the road stretch out their branches, covering the top of the road layer upon layer, blocking the sunlight, making the forest look particularly dark. Because the flood water had just receded, and the branches and leaves of the trees blocked the sunlight, the ground in the forest was not dry and there was mud everywhere.

The road had turned in the woods, and now from where they were, it was a dense patch of trees, and nothing else was to be seen.

"Mazi, how far is it to get out of this forest?" Wang Dali asked.

"It's coming, it's coming soon." Li Mazi stopped, shook the stick in his hand and said, "You see it's not ...... over there."

Wang Dali hurriedly turned his head to look, because he was in a hurry to turn around, his feet were slippery, and he didn't have much strength in his body, so he suddenly lost his balance. Just then he heard a gust of wind behind him, and something hit him the arm.

Wang Dali fell to the ground all at once, and his right arm was so hit that he couldn't lift it up at all. His eyes widened in horror, and he watched Li Mazi and a few other people with hideous smiles and hold sticks around him.

"Asako, you...... What are you going to do? ”

"Brother Strong, we don't want to do this, it's just that if we continue to be hungry like this, everyone will die, so we have to be wronged Brother Strong, we want to eat." Li Mazi said with a cruel smile.

"Brother Strong, we will remember your kindness." Liu Laogen also said, "After this hurdle, we will give you a pillar of incense during the New Year's Festival in the future." In the dark forest, Wang Dali saw that his eyes were shining with a green light like fireflies.

"Hurry up, don't be verbose, I'm dying of hunger!" Guo Dagang said, where is he still a little weak now......
