In Changle Fang, in the northwest of the city, most of the residents are well-off families.

Meng Ming was originally a lieutenant of the Tooth Military Academy, and later went to be a businessman because he offended his boss and opened a cloth village in the city. Later, he married Wang Qian's distant relative, the sister of Wang Qi, the military commander of Tiandehou. The young couple lived a harmonious and beautiful life, although they had been married for many years and had no heirs, Meng Ming's love for the Wang family did not decrease at all.

When Wang Qian was seriously ill, Meng Ming had a premonition that there would be a turmoil in the city. He took out part of his savings and bought enough food for the couple to eat for a year, and hid it in the cellar. A month later, the German army was in great turmoil, and the price of grain rose upward, until in the end grain was equal to gold and silver, and even then it was often impossible to buy grain even if there was money. Because of Meng Ming's foresight, the little couple avoided the pain of hunger.

However, it didn't take long for Meng Ming to discover that the little grain hidden in the cellar had become the source of the disaster, and the officials and soldiers had to come to the house every once in a while to search for it. Although the entrance to the cellar was very secret, every time the officers and soldiers came to search, Meng Ming was terrified and panicked. Sometimes Meng Ming even thought that if he simply handed over the food, he would be able to keep his peace. But as soon as he saw the starving bones in the streets, he had to dispel this thought, and he did not know when this chaotic situation would end, and if the trouble could not be quelled for a while after the food was handed over, would he not starve people to death?

At first, Meng Ming was hesitant to hand over the grain, but now that he wants to hand over the grain, people won't accept it. After the tooth general Mei Yuanyuan replaced Wu Guiyuan as the grain supervisor, he immediately changed the grain collection to grain grabbing, and arrested and killed one of those who dared to hide grain privately.

Meng Ming made up his mind, he was going to set a fire to burn the grain while it was dark, and it was a hundred. Wang also agreed with this approach, and the husband and wife borrowed a large jar of fire oil and waited for it to get dark and burn grain.

Night slowly fell, and the city ushered in another oppressive and difficult night.

Meng Ming carried the canister of fire oil, Wang held the lamp and candle, and the two quietly entered the kitchen. Below the big water tank in the kitchen is the entrance to the cellar, every time the officials and soldiers come to search, the water in the water tank is full, the soldiers are too lazy to move the tank, and because Wang Qi's face is not good to smash the tank, so the entrance to the cellar has not been found.

Meng Ming scooped off half of the tank of water, removed the water tank, and pulled the wooden plank under the bottom of the tank and was preparing to go down to the cellar. Suddenly, there was a bang, the courtyard door was kicked open, and the soldiers Zhang Qiang and Li Wu burst in with the smell of wine, shouting and begging for water to drink. Wang panicked, and threw the oil tank in his hand to the ground with a "bang", and the oil flowed all over the ground. The two soldiers smelled the pungent smell of fire oil and hurriedly rushed into the kitchen with their guns, and Meng Ming wanted to cover the entrance of the cellar too late. Zhang Qiang broke off and drank: "What are you doing with fire oil?" Meng Ming said with a smile: "It's nothing, the cellar is too wet, get some fire oil and go down to roast." ”

"Nonsense, how can you use fire oil to bake the cellar wet. I think there's something weird here. Li Wu was drunk and unclear.

"No, if the military master doesn't believe it, you can go down and see for yourself." Meng Ming pretended to smile easily. He bet that these two soldiers just wanted to come in and fight the autumn breeze, and they wouldn't take this matter seriously.

The two pawns looked at each other, Meng Ming took the opportunity to hand a look to the Wang family, the Wang family hurriedly took off the money bag and handed it to Meng Ming, Meng Ming took out a string of money and stuffed it into Zhang Qiang's hand, and touched a piece of broken silver and put it in Li Wu's hand, and said with a smile: "We are all good people, and the commander of the rear army, Wang Lushuai, is also his own people." When the two heard this, they looked at each other, and Li Wu threw the broken silver in his hand to the ground and scolded: "Don't come to this set!" We're going to search the cellar. After saying that, he shook the spear in his hand and shouted at Meng Ming: "You, lead the way in front." ”

Meng Ming hesitated slightly, and Zhang Qiang pulled out a knife and put it on Wang's neck, and sneered: "If you dare to play tricks, I will kill your mother-in-law." ”

Meng Ming didn't dare in his mouth, but he secretly had evil courage in his heart, and he hid a boning knife on the case on his body while the two of them were not paying attention. He took the candlestick and led the way, and Li Wu followed him down the small wooden ladder to the cellar. The cellar was warm and dry. Li Wu was suspicious: "Didn't you say that the cellar was very wet? Where is this wet? I think you're clearly a spy. With that, he raised his foot and kicked Meng Ming's ass.

Meng Ming almost fell to the ground, he was really angry in his heart, but he replied: "Look at my brother, how can it be wet." And if the cellar didn't collapse like that? It's the wall inside that is wet and dripping. Walking to the end of the cellar, Meng Ming pointed to the corner of the wall and said, "Brother, please look, where is the dripping water, you don't know that sometimes there are loaches coming out of the wall." ”

"Fucking nonsense again, where are the loaches coming from in this damn place?" Li Wu scolded in his mouth, but he was very curious in his heart, and couldn't help but stick his head over. Meng Ming took advantage of his low head and suddenly swung his elbow and smashed his neck, Li Wu snorted and lay on the ground heavily, Meng Ming quickly pulled out the boning knife, covered his mouth, and cut his throat with one sword.

Meng Ming dragged Li Wu's body aside, picked up his spear, walked to the entrance, and shouted outside imitating Li Wu's voice: "There is food below, you come down quickly." With that, he hid to the side, and only waited for Zhang Qiang to rush down and shoot him with one shot. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement from above. Meng Ming was suspicious in his heart, and slowly climbed out with a gun. The kitchen was empty.

Meng Ming was startled in his heart, picked up the gun and walked out, and suddenly heard a noise in the bedroom, he clicked on the window paper and looked inside, only to see Zhang Qiang pouting Bai Huahua's big ass lying on Wang's body twitching rhythmically, Wang's two snow-white thighs were weakly cocked. Meng Ming gritted his teeth and pushed open the door, and stabbed the tip of the gun at Zhang Qiang's chrysanthemum door...... Blood burst out, and Zhang Qiang screamed and died.

Meng Ming pushed away the corpse and helped Wang up, and Wang looked at the wall with tears streaming down his face. Meng Ming hugged her and shouted, "I was ruined by the beast, do you still have to die for the beast?" Wang came to his senses and still whimpered. Meng Ming put a robe on her, took him to the kitchen, and carried Li Wu's body out of the cellar, and then Wang said, "You hide in the cellar first, and I will go to the seventh brother and let him try to help us escape." Remember, if I don't come back, you must not come out. With that, he stuffed a waist knife into Wang's hand.

After settling the Wang family, Meng Ming hid the two corpses, put on Zhang Qiang's coat, and walked out with a knife. There is usually a curfew at night in the border towns. Zhongshou City is no exception, Meng Ming walked on the empty streets, although he was wearing the uniform of the official army, he himself had served in the army for many years, and he knew all kinds of passwords, but he still beat the drum in his heart. Turning from the street into a secluded alley, Meng Ming's heart relaxed a little. But at this moment, I suddenly heard a shout in front of me, and I saw dozens of Tanda people holding scimitars and rushing over in unison.

Meng Ming was so frightened that his legs and stomach were spinning, and he was about to avoid it, when a group of people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley. The leader is the uncle Wang Qi who he is looking for. When Wang Qi saw Meng Ming wearing an official uniform, he wondered in his heart, so he asked, "Why did you come here, Xiaomin?" Meng Ming said sadly: "Xiaomin was insulted by those brutes, do you still have to work for them?" ”

Wang Qi was furious when he heard this, he stomped his foot and shouted: "Brothers, don't give your life to the old martial artist, let's withdraw." When they heard the noise, they all retreated into the street, and they went west, but the Tanda people ran to the north gate. A small school asked Wang Qi: "Seventh brother, it seems that the people of Tanda are going to hit the north gate." If we don't stop it, as soon as the city gate is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Meng Ming snorted: "You think about them, but they insult your wife and daughter behind your back. What do you protect such a person for? The little colonel didn't dare to speak, and asked Wang Qi: "What does Brother Qi say, let's do it?" ”

Wang Qiwang glanced at the north gate and said: "Tanda's wounded soldiers suddenly launched a riot, it seems that they are premeditated, this city may not be able to hold, you go home and bring your children together, let's meet in the Jialan Temple in the west city." The guard of the West Gate is my brother, and when the fight starts, I will ask him to open the door and let us out of the city. ”

The crowd went their separate ways. Meng Ming walked through the streets and alleys and saw that he was about to arrive at Changle Fang, but he didn't want to be twisted by a group of tooth soldiers. Meng Ming shouted: "I have taken leave from the team." Yajun scolded: "The Tanda people have all entered the city, and you still have to take a vacation?" can't hold the city, and his wife and children are all fucking horses and pigs for the Tanda people to be slaves. Meng Ming was caught in the crowd, and he couldn't help himself, so he could only run forward.

At this time, the area around the north gate has been slaughtered, and the hundreds of wounded soldiers arranged by the white water fox to recuperate in the city have turned into a strange soldier ambushed in the city. Thousands of Wei people roared into the city with horses and swords. Meng Ming and his party had just arrived at the inner street of the North Gate, and before they could fight, the front team was dispersed by the horse team of the Murowei people, and the soldiers fled in all directions. Except for the tooth sergeant who resisted slightly, the soldiers of the Tiande Hou Army who were held hostage all fled in despair.

Meng Ming was also among the escapees, and now he hated the martial arts family more than he hated the white water fox, let them eat the dog, what do you care about me. Meng Ming sneered as he took a shortcut and hurried back, not wanting to make the Da people faster, so in the blink of an eye, they blocked the major intersections, dividing and encircling the Tiande Hou Army and Wu Guihao's Ya Army in several isolated urban areas and Yacheng. Meng Ming tried to cross the street several times to return to Changle Fang, but was blocked by the patrol of the Tanda people. The cavalry of the Tanda people came and went like the wind, and the bows and arrows were shot very accurately. Meng Ming saw with his own eyes several people who tried to cross the streets die under their arrows.

What to do, what to do? Meng Ming was anxious. When it came to the second watch, except for the corner of Yacheng and Xicheng, the rest of the city was in the hands of the white water fox. The battle for Yacheng is raging, and Wu Guihao has ordered all the troops to retreat to Yacheng, pulling out the posture of living and dying with Yacheng. The attack of the white water fox did not go well, and the Tanda people patrolling the streets were also drawn to attack the city.

Meng Ming seized this opportunity and rushed across the street back to Changle Fang, where he lived, bypassing the labyrinthine alleys, Meng Ming finally returned home, but the situation in front of him made him tremble: the family's belongings were looted, Wang's head hung from the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, and her body was lying naked in the bedroom, her abdomen was cut open with a sharp knife, and her stomach was flowing all over the ground.

Meng Ming knelt down in front of his wife's corpse with a "poof", but he wanted to cry without tears.
