This old man Zhao, he still wants to die to save face and suffer crimes! Obviously, they are all starving to death and losing their temper, clinging to Confucian ideas, and insisting on dying rather than losing their temper, rather than losing face. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info This former official house, you have to take care of it! They are local nobles, and they must not lose face.

Of course, the old man's wife and concubine understood what their lord meant, so they didn't say anything, but followed everyone to line up outside the city gate, waited for the city gate to open, and then went outside to dig wild vegetables together.

This time, someone saw it and said, "Isn't that the wife and concubine of Master Zhao?" Wouldn't they be out there digging for wild vegetables? Master Zhao is one of the richest people in Zhuo County! I heard that there were several officials in the ancestors! Such a family also has to dig wild vegetables in the city? ”

Someone answered: "So what? Is it a stomach? Don't you see that there are many rich people's food that has been searched by officers and soldiers, even if they hold gold and silver mountains, they are helpless, they can't buy food, and you can't eat gold and silver mountains! Don't you have to do everything? ”

As soon as these words came out, many people nodded yes, indeed! If your stomach can't be filled, what are you talking about, only the most important thing is to fill your stomach first.

In this way, Master Zhao's wife and concubine just lowered their heads and didn't dare to look up, because there was no food stored at home, they had already dismissed all the slaves.

Now I have to do even the low-level work of digging wild vegetables, I can't help it! At this moment, your nobility is useless, you have to eat, don't you? If you don't eat it, the child will! So if you don't do it, you have to do it.

The wives and concubines of the Zhao family are at a loss, and they really don't know how to find them. "Madame!" A call, which made Zhao's wife and the others red-faced, now the phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, and I am really afraid that others will come to ridicule them.

It was an old woman, and at first glance, she had worked with them. Because of the pity for her an old woman with a disabled son, Zhao's wife and others also treated her well.

"Fan Po, it's you!" The wife and concubine of the Zhao family spoke up. Fan Po smiled and said, "I think Madame must be unaccustomed to it, right?" So let me take my wife with me! The old woman has been out of the city since the first day, and I used to walk around this area a lot, where there are wild vegetables and where there are not, I know everything! I'm afraid that after a long time, I won't be able to dig it! ”

For this reason, the wives and concubines of the Zhao family nodded, except for relying on the help of Fan Po, it was really difficult for them to succeed.

People are talking about how if they go out, they can dig up a lot of wild vegetables and food, so that the whole family doesn't have to worry about going hungry.

As soon as the city gate opened, people poured out like a tide, and the wives and concubines of the Zhao family went out of the city with Fan Po, led by Fan Po to dig wild vegetables.

The wives and concubines of the Zhao family were originally pampered, how could they experience such a thing? It's just that there is no way, in the face of survival, this bit of suffering, if you don't suffer, you have to suffer.

When night fell, they got a lot of food, and when they came back with food, their faces were full of happy smiles, and the family could eat enough tonight, and they agreed with Fan Po that they would continue to go out the next day.

Shi Jia would stand at the head of the city every day, and he had to watch that nothing happened to the people before he could rest assured.

It's just that some people want to escape, they also know the situation in Zhuo County, and if they stay any longer, they can only die, so they will gamble, as long as they escape, there is hope of life.

It's just that the fate of these people is miserable, either they are shot or captured. Out of a hundred people who have escaped, it is considered lucky that one can escape.

No, the captives would be taken to the city as a deterrent, and at this time, of course, no one would go out to look for food.

"Look! Our king is kind enough to give you food, but what about you? But I want to run away! And these people are the end! As he spoke, a Xianbei soldier had already come forward to disembowel.

Some of them were tortured to death, and they wanted to tell the people in the city that you should not try to escape, no matter who it was, they would not be able to escape, and if they were caught, then you would die a terrible death!

Some people began to cry and said, "This is my little brother-in-law!" "This is my cousin!" "Woo~ You died so miserably!" The people who were tortured outside were naturally related to the people in the city. How can you not be sad to see your loved ones being abused, tortured, and then dying in agony?

Outside the city, the shouts of the Xianbei people still sounded: "Now solemnly warn you! You'd better retreat into the city and don't try to escape! Giving you out of the city is only limited to your scope! Don't go over the range! Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”

As he spoke, rows of dead bodies lined up in front of him, all trying in vain to escape from the city.

Seeing this, Shi Jia frowned again, these Xianbei people were trapped on their side in Zhuo County, what were they thinking? What is their purpose? From this confrontation again and again, Shi Jia can see that this opponent is not simple.

Shi Jia really wants to go to this opponent for a while! However, he knew that after the other party's purpose was revealed, he would definitely have the opportunity to meet.

Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and within a radius of five miles, all the originally lush mountains had become bare.

And Zhixiong has made up his mind that he will never distribute food to the people again, after all, the food in Zhixiong's hands is getting less and less, and he has to ensure that his soldiers are not starved to death.

As a result, the situation in the city is even worse, and people are threatened with starvation. And most of the people have lost the motivation to dig wild vegetables outside the city, very simply, after more than a month, not to mention the wild vegetables have been dug up, even the trees have been put down, the bark has been stripped naked, and even some soil has been stuffed into the stomachs of people who are dizzy with hunger.

At this time, it was reported in the city that the wells and water in the city had been poisoned.

Originally, there was no food to eat, and most of the people drank water, and they could still prolong their lives, but now even the water is a problem, isn't this forcing people to a dead end?

The situation in the city became more and more serious, and Zhixiong sent people to find out what was going on, in order to find out the spy as soon as possible. At the same time, those who leave the city are also closely monitored.

Shi Jia took the initiative to ask Ying to come and check, he naturally went to the well, and there were many places to see, but he didn't have a clue at all.
