"Bark?" Liu Xie's face was shocked, and he took a piece from their hands a little toughly, looked at it for a long time, and after making sure that this was indeed the bark he understood, his face was incredulous, "This ...... Is it tasty? ”

The group smiled resignedly: "...... The little old man said with a smile, what kind of delicious bark can ......"

Liu Xie took a bite of the bark fiercely, but as soon as he took it, he hurriedly spit it out, and suddenly said angrily: "Can this thing be eaten?" ”

A trace of fear and dazedness flashed in the eyes of the group of people, and at the same time, they also looked at the bark on Liu Xie's hand with some distress. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info They didn't understand why Liu Association was so angry, so they couldn't answer, so they could only bow their heads in silence.

Liu Xie understood something, sighed heavily, returned the bark to them, flicked his sleeves, and continued to walk forward, Chu Yi followed expressionlessly.

Chu Yi forbade them to kill and loot, so in this camp, it was good to be able to find wild fruits and bark to eat, many people didn't even have bark, and they didn't know what black and smelly things they dug out of the soil and stuffed them into their mouths, and even more so they didn't even have anything to eat, which could curl up and lie on the ground to save physical strength.

Every time Liu Xie walked by, there was a sad expression on his face, he was still a child, if he was just a primary school student who carried a schoolbag to school every day in the future life, but he now witnessed the cruelest reality.

Long sigh to hide the tears, mourn the difficulties of the people's livelihood!

In this team, several people starved to death every day, which did not even cause any sensation in the team. Liu Xie saw a person suddenly fall down and never get up again.

"What does Your Majesty think? It's really common in these days, and you shouldn't be surprised, they're used to it. Because none of them knows if it will be them who will die tomorrow. ”

"Why is this happening, why is it ...... Will this happen? Liu Xie's mouth kept chattering, and tears kept rolling in his eyes. The reality he saw with his own eyes gave him a feeling of the collapse of his worldview. Even when he was at the mercy of Dong Zhuo, he was still the Son of Heaven, how could he ever lack food and clothing?

Above the court, those well-dressed officials and gentlemen, aren't they respectful to themselves and full of etiquette?

But the gap between the government and the opposition is so big! Whose fault is it that caused today's tragedy? Liu Xie didn't understand, but when he thought that he had just eaten a fragrant roast rabbit without care, he felt a little ashamed for no reason.

At this time, a burst of meat fragrance wafted over, and Liu Xie's heart suddenly relaxed and walked over.

I saw dozens of people gathered around a large clay urn, and meat was still boiling in the urn.

Liu Xie walked in and asked, "What are you eating?" ”

Everyone was taken aback, and when they saw Chu Yi following behind them, they couldn't help but change their faces greatly, their eyes were a little evasive, and they stammered: "Hui, Lord Hui, this, this is rabbit meat, rabbit meat......"

Liu Xie hadn't opened his mouth yet, but Chu Yi said coldly behind him: "Human flesh is human flesh, why don't you answer honestly when the lord asks you?" ”

"Lord Chu Yi spare your life! Lord Chu Yi spares his life! ”

Everyone's lies were exposed by Chu Yi, and they all knelt down in unison, and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"You, what did you say? Is this human flesh? ”

Liu Xieyi turned his head to look at Chu Yi, and then looked at the Tao urn, his three views have been refreshed too many times today, but at this moment, he still feels shocked!

Chu Yi bent down slightly and said, "Why don't you ask them?" ”

Liu Xie looked at everyone with a hideous face, and said sharply: "You say, is this contained human flesh?" ”

Everyone kowtowed desperately, blood came out of their foreheads, and there was a cry in their voices: "Master spare your life, we didn't kill anyone, and we didn't dare to rob people!" We didn't violate the three rules set by Lord Chu Yi! These people are dead! ”

Liu Xie was stunned, and Chu Yi said to Liu Xie calmly: "These are those starvations during the day, and they really didn't kill anyone." ”

“…… Vomit! ”

Liu Xie suddenly vomited, his eyes watered with tears, and then he turned around and left.

"Since the lord has not blamed you, get up." Chu Yi said lightly, and then followed behind Liu Xie.

Liu Xie's face was full of tears, and he cried bitterly: "Why is this? Can you tell me why this is? Why do they live so miserably? ”

Chu Yi sighed faintly: "Back to Your Majesty, because this is a troubled era, not a prosperous era." ”

In troubled times, people are not as good as pigs and dogs! Life is as lowly as an ant!

In troubled times, tens of millions of people died at every turn.

In the fifth year of Emperor Yonghe of Hanshun, it was only 50 years ago, and the population of the country was nearly 50 million at that time.

However, in the later period of the Three Kingdoms, the population was only a few million! It's just one out of ten.

In the five years of the Sui Dynasty, there were nearly 9 million families and 46 million people in the country.

However, by the time of Li Yuanwude, the population was less than a quarter! You must know that from the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty to the unification of the Tang Dynasty, this period was only more than ten years! In the past few years, more than 30 million people have lost their lives.

People say that in the troubled times, the heroes compete for the deer, and the princes compete for hegemony. Heroes are like carp crossing the river, and one by one they have passed down mythical deeds for future generations to look up to.

But most people ignore the people in troubled times.

Compared to those heroes, their voices are too small, too small to be taken seriously, and their lives are just a string of cold demographics.

How many people can die directly from the war? In fact, there are very few, most of the people died of hunger, because of the shortage of soldiers and horses, because of the survival of the grain was requisitioned by the princes for military rations.

This is the reason why Chu Yi would rather make peace with the family than stop the troubled times.

Liu Xie hissed and asked urgently, "Why is it a troubled time?" Whose fault is this? Dong Zhuo? Scholars? The First Emperor? Or is it eunuchs? ”

Chu Yi took a deep breath: "If a county is not treated, who is to blame?" ”

"The county magistrate's fault!"

"If a county is not governed, whose fault is it?"

"It's too much of a mistake!"

Liu Xie's body trembled slightly, he had almost guessed what Chu Yi was going to say next, Chu Yi had asked a similar question before, but Liu Xie at that time avoided it and used what he thought was clever.

But this time, Liu Xie was extremely looking forward to Chu Yi being able to ask that sentence, but fortunately, Chu Yi did not disappoint him.

"If there is hunger on the roads within the four seas, and people cannibalize each other, whose fault is this?"

"This ......" Liu Xie took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "This is the fault of the Son of Heaven!" This is my fault! It's me, I'm sorry for all the people in the world! ”
