Today's weather is very good, the sky is cloudless, and the blue sky looks like a huge gem, which makes people feel very comfortable when they look at it, but under such a beautiful sky, there are still ugly things happening.

Kakir was lying under this beautiful sky, although he felt that the sun was dazzling today, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't open his eyes, in fact, he also knew that even if he opened his eyes, he might not be able to see the outside scene clearly, because he hadn't eaten food for a long time, and his eyes were hungry and couldn't see anything clearly.

The eyes could not see the outside situation, and it became very difficult to even move their hands and feet, and the stomach no longer felt hunger, but an extreme emptiness, and the dried sweet potatoes that Kakir had brought in had already been eaten, and the clear soup provided in the governor's palace had also been changed to irregular times, sometimes once a day, sometimes only once every three or four days, and the beans and corn inside were moldy and buggy, but even so, everyone would rush over and swallow them with a look of enjoyment.

Kakir can't remember how long he has been in the Governor's Palace, he only knows that as time goes by, the food in the Governor's Palace is getting less and less, and the eight or nine hundred ordinary residents who came in with them are too scarce because the food is too scarce, which caused many people to be dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction slowly turned into anger over time, and then one night, hundreds of young people rioted, they snatched the soldiers' weapons, and prepared to occupy the granaries of the Governor's Palace, but in the end they were suppressed by several times the number of soldiers, All those involved in the riot were killed.

In the aftermath of the uprising, the upper echelons of the Doge's Palace may have felt that they were too harsh on the common residents. So in a later period. The food of Kakir and others has increased a bit. Every day, you can get a brown loaf of bread made with a lot of sawdust, and although it is still not enough, it is much better than the previous clear soup.

But this preferential treatment did not last long, because of a heavy rain for half a month, the warehouse where the grain was stored was flooded, and a lot of grain became moldy and spoiled, and as a result, the daily food of the Kakir people became those spoiled grains, and many people died of poisoning because of eating spoiled grains.

For the upper echelons of the Doge's Palace. The anger of many people was aroused again, and then the riot broke out again, and the result was the same as the last time, it was suppressed and slaughtered, and then the Doge's Palace improved the treatment of ordinary residents a little, but soon returned to the old way, so it rioted again, improved again, and formed a vicious circle, eight or nine hundred ordinary Portuguese residents. After several rounds of slaughter, there were less than 100 people left. And they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they have no ability to resist at all.

Kakir had also thought of resisting before, but he thought of those who were slaughtered, but he finally retreated, because he didn't want to die, his wife and children were still waiting for him to go back in Europe, and his family was still burdened with huge debts that had not been paid off, so he must not die, and it was precisely by this belief that Kaki was in the previous riots, even if he was called a coward by others, he was not willing to take risks, not to mention that this kind of riot had no possibility of success in his opinion.

But now this no longer means anything to Kakir, he is now just praying to God, hoping that those high-ranking officials of the Governor's Palace will see the same God's people, and send the next meal of food as soon as possible, for this food, he has been waiting for a long time, and even in order to eat a bite of food early, he has been struggling to crawl from the house to the place where the food is distributed at dawn every day for the past few days, as long as it does not rain, Kakir will struggle to climb from the house to the place where the food is distributed, so that when the food is distributed, he will be the first to receive the food.

Perhaps it was Kakiel's prayer that really touched God, just as he was lying on the stone floor panting for breath, he suddenly heard the sound of the iron gate in the distance, the area where they lived was relatively closed, and the subsequent riots made the governor's palace high-level also very wary of them, so an iron gate was installed at the exit, and the iron door would only be opened when food was distributed or there was death.

As the iron door was opened, Kakir heard a messy and heavy footsteps, which made him ecstatic, because if someone died, only two would come in to collect the corpse, and there would not be such a messy and heavy footsteps, and only when the food was distributed, because it was necessary to carry the food and maintain order, so many people would be needed.

It was precisely with these thoughts that when Kakir heard the footsteps of the comer, he suddenly stimulated the potential of his whole body, stood up with his arms up, and then looked in the direction of the comer with wide eyes, although his vision was still very blurry because of his hunger, but a large vat carried by those people made Kakir even more excited, and he could even smell the aroma of food.

"Bah~" Several people carrying the food put the wooden barrel on the ground heavily, and then a rude and familiar voice shouted loudly while knocking on the wooden barrel with a spoon: "Pigs, hurry up and eat!" ”

Although he could not see clearly, Kakir knew that the name of the shouter was Jof, who was the cook of the Doge's Palace, and was now in charge of providing food for them, and that Jov was fat, ugly, and very rude, and liked to call them pigs, and he was the one in charge of raising pigs.

At first, Kakir was angry at this insulting remark, but then he gradually got used to it, and even now, Kakir is very happy when he hears Yove's voice, because he finally has something to eat, so I saw him struggle to climb in front of the barrel, pick up a wooden bowl and hold it in his hand, and Jov took a big spoon and poured him a bowl of soup indiscriminately, and as a result, Kakiel climbed on the bowl and swallowed the soup in a few bites, and he didn't even have time to taste the soup.

A bowl of hot soup entered his stomach, and Kakir immediately felt much more comfortable, although he knew that this bowl of soup would not last long at all, but at least it was much stronger than nothing, and not long after the food entered his stomach, Kakir felt that his body had regained some strength, and his eyes were seeing more clearly, and he felt that he should be able to hold on for a few more days.

As Joo shouted, the people in the room crawled out one by one, struggling to get their own food from Jof, and then swallowed it in a big gulp. It was only then that Kakir realized that the soup that Joffhad had given himself was a mixture of moldy grain, insects, and even mud, and although this kind of thing had been fed to pigs before, Kakir felt so delicious that he even wanted to drink another bowl if possible.

Today should be a lucky day for Kakir, because there has been no food for a long time before, so a batch of these ordinary Portuguese residents starved to death, resulting in a lot of food made by Yov today, and no one will drink this soup when they take it back, so after Yov has issued a round, he let the person who wants to drink come up and serve it, but Kakir was the first to rush up, relying on his relatively strong body, monopolizing the entire wooden barrel, and drinking several large bowls in a row, until the stomach really couldn't fit it, he didn't let go of the barrel, Fell to the side and gasped for air.

Watching the people of Kakiel rush to the pig food they made like mad dogs, Jov and the people behind him laughed, although they usually don't have enough to eat, but they work in the kitchen and always find an opportunity to steal some food, so in the entire Doge's Palace, except for high-ranking people like Vasco da Gama, Joff and these people have the best food.

It wasn't until the wooden barrel of soup was licked clean, and there was no need to clean it at all, that Yofu and the others laughed and packed up their things and prepared to leave, leaving Kakiel and the others to lie on the ground motionless with a satisfied face, although they only drank a stomach full of soup, but for them, it was already the fullest time in this time, and even Kakiel felt a great sense of happiness, filling his stomach for the first time in several months, which made him suddenly feel like crying.

Just as Kakiel was lying motionless on the ground and ready to sleep, Jofu and the others next to him had already packed up their things, turned around and walked towards the big iron gate with a smile.

However, just as Joffe and the others walked to the gate, suddenly there was a rush of muskets outside, followed by four noises, the sound of some people shouting, and the sound of smashing objects, but more often than not, the sound of guns and screams, and the entire governor's palace seemed to be plunged into the battlefield at once, and the atmosphere that had been somewhat quiet completely disappeared.

Hearing the sound of gunfire outside, Kakir and the others all got up from the ground at once, and then looked around blankly, while wondering in their hearts, is it that the Ming army outside has come in?

The people who had already walked to the gate were also startled, but they quickly reacted, and now all the people led by Yof retreated, and then closed the big iron door from the inside. The decision made by Joffe and the others can be said to be very correct, because the area where the people of Kakir live is actually like a big prison, the high walls around it are very strong, and only the iron gate can lead to the outside, no matter what happens outside, now they only need to guard this iron gate, then the people outside will not be able to help them for the time being.

For the actions of Yof's people, Kakir and them all didn't react like wood, in fact, they didn't blame them, for Kakiel and others, most of the half a year of imprisonment and starvation had caused great damage to their spirits, and many people committed suicide because of this before, and now the rest have become insensitive, and only in this way can they live until now.
