"I really can't walk, young master, you go, I'll rest here, and I'll catch up with you after the break." The old man clutched his stomach and slowly squatted down.

The young man who was called the young master looked back, and his eyes were full of hunger. He said: "Uncle Cheng, if you endure it again, you will be Feicheng in front of you, and then you will be Tai'an in the east." I heard that the crown prince is in Taean. As he spoke, he was also panting, his middle breath had long been exhausted, and he wished that the hemp rope around his waist could stretch his waist to the same thickness as his arm.

Uncle Cheng's whole body curled up, just panting, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

The old man and the young man froze in place, and suddenly saw the grass swaying, and the two of them became alert.

A huge head parted from the grass, and his eyes were red as he looked at the old and the young.

It was a dark-skinned man who quickly emerged from the grass, his torso and limbs extremely thin. He clutched the iron piece on the plowshare, which was already covered with yellow rust spots. Judging by the way he stabbed forward, it should have been his weapon.

The man glanced at the dirty young man, and once again turned his gaze to the old man who was squatting on the ground, approached with trembling steps, and muttered in his mouth: "Brother, you didn't hit, I still hit, please save my life." ”

Uncle Cheng was taken aback and trembled to stand up. Just half got up, but his legs were weak, and the whole person fell to the ground.

The man didn't know where the strength came from, so he threw himself on Uncle Cheng, and slashed at Uncle Cheng's thigh with a wave of the iron piece in his hand.

"Don't cut me! I'm still in the middle! Uncle Cheng squeezed out a trace of Zuihou's strength and shouted loudly.

"You're not hit! Help me, save me! The man spoke, saliva coming out of his mouth, and he swallowed desperately.

The young man was startled, and his head finally reacted. He staggered up and kicked the man in the shoulder.

The man looked at the bones left in his body, but his strength was not small, and he actually grabbed Uncle Cheng's body, and his mouth was full of salivation. He saw that the other party had someone to help, and opened his mouth regardless of it. Bite Uncle Cheng's leg.

Uncle Cheng saw that the man was about to eat him raw, and he was terrified in his heart, but he didn't have the strength to scream, and it was even more delusional to kick that person away.

"Die!" The young man finally mustered up all his strength, bent down and picked up a lump of dirt, and smashed it on the man's head.

He hadn't eaten water for some time, and he hadn't stoned the man to death, but he had scattered into dust.

The man was choked by the dirt ash on his face and coughed repeatedly, and his mouth still said to himself: "I have eaten Guanyin soil, it is better than this." It's better than that......"

"After eating Guanyin soil, see the king of Hades in three days, you can go with peace of mind, don't harm us." The young man could barely stand up, crawling on the ground to push the man-eating monster on Uncle Cheng's body.

The man's face was dusty, and he opened his mouth to bite the young master.

The young man only felt his arm tightened, as if he had been firmly grasped, and waved it desperately with all his strength. The mouth shouted, "Death, death, death...... Pain, pain, pain, pain, pain, ......pain, pain

Finally. The young man exhausted all his strength, fell to the ground with his back to the sky, and the light returned to his eyes, and the white clouds in the blue sky were like haode cotton wool. He didn't have the strength to struggle, and let the demon bite at his forearm.

After another moment. The young man still didn't feel the pain in his forearm. With the little strength he had just regained, he moved his arm slightly, and the man's head tilted, and cold saliva fell on the young man's skin.

He's dead.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief and let out a grunt of laughter from his throat. He struggled to turn his head. looked at Uncle Cheng and saw that Uncle Cheng's chest was still rising and falling.

There is only a palm's distance between the two, but it seems to be the sky.

……

“…… Wake up and see if you can still talk. ”

Violent shaking and distant sounds woke up the young man lying on the ground.

A slap in the face fell from the sky, almost knocking him unconscious again.

The young man came out of his throat with a strange syllable that he could not even understand, and he felt only pain in his chest and abdomen as if it were on fire.

"Give him water." A woman said.

A thin column of water fell on the young man's lips.

The young man had some strength and opened his mouth for fear of missing a drop.

"Hey, how long has that group been gone?" The woman asked.

The young man struggled to open his eyes, and in the sunlight he saw the woman in red and riding on a flower horse. The sun shone on her back, like a piece of glittering armor on her.

"I'm hungry......," said the young man weakly, "please, give me something to stutter." ”

The flower horse under the woman's crotch snorted impatiently.

"Give him porridge." The woman finally spoke.

The young man struggled to half-sit up and saw Uncle Cheng, who had taken care of him since childhood.

Uncle Cheng's exposed skin showed corrupt green spots, and his face was a thick iron blue, twisted and hideous, and it was no longer the familiar face of the past.

He looked away and took the clay shard from a man, which contained a shallow rotten paste and exuded a sour smell.

The young man didn't know where the strength came from, so he snatched the pottery piece and put it in his mouth, swallowing it into his stomach, only to feel a chill fall from his throat into his stomach, and the false fire on his body was extinguished. He stretched out his tongue again, licked and licked on the clay shard, until it was clean, and then he put down the clay shard, looked up and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

"How long has that group been gone?" The woman didn't answer him, but just asked a rhetorical question.

The young man staggered to his feet, only to feel dizzy for a while, and when he looked at it again, it was like a world away. In the originally empty and uninhabited field, corpses of various postures were scattered everywhere.

――When I passed out, it seemed like a lot of things were going on here.

The young man shook his head slightly: "I don't know...... I don't know how long I fainted......"

The woman wasn't very disappointed. She didn't mind what had happened here or how many people had died. She just accidentally caught a glimpse of a poor man who was dying, and wanted to save his life from the bottom of her heart. However, in this world of cannibalism, as long as you have a little kindness, you will be pounced on by countless hungry ghosts and chewed until there are no bones left. Only by beating yourself like iron can you live.

In order to bring people who can live, to live.

"Let's go!" The woman turned her horse's head away and shouted at a ragged retinue behind her.

The young man stood in place, looking at the team of more than a dozen horses and hundreds of homeless people, and saw the banner with "red" written in black on a white background, and hurriedly chased after him: "King, you are the red lady?" Stay with me! I'm literate! I only need to eat a bite of food, and I will pay you back a hundred times in the future! ”

The red lady didn't rein in the horse, and she didn't look back, but just said loudly: "If you can keep up, you can live." ”

The young man took a deep breath, tightened the hemp rope around his waist, and tried to separate his leadened legs, chasing the group, for fear of being left behind in this wilderness where there were only corpses and living corpses.

……

Huang Desu was wearing a newly issued seven-grade official uniform, with a black gauze on his head and official boots on his feet, sitting on the upper seat, patting the table.

The crown prince ordered to change Dezhou Wei to Sanzhou, which was subordinate to Jinan Prefecture, and Huang Desu also became the governor of Sanzhou, which could be abandoned at any time, because of the "Meritorious Service Order".

Sitting opposite Huang Desu was his fellow Fang Dayou. Although the two only had a brief exchange at the Qionglin banquet, they were brothers in the officialdom in the same year, and this relationship instantly connected the two closely, and it didn't matter at all that Huang Desu was the governor of the Ming Dynasty, and this Fang Dayou was the envoy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

This Fang Dayou is especially good at calligraphy, and he writes a letter of worship with a dragon flying and dancing phoenix, which adds a lot of confidence to it.

Seeing Huang Desu's hesitation, Fang Dayou persuaded in a good voice: "Brother Cong'an, at this time, there is only a decision, how can you hesitate?" ”

"Yun Shenggong," Huang Desu respectfully called Fang Dayou's alias, and said, "This Eastern Soldier is really here to help the Ming Dynasty destroy the thieves?" ”

"That's nature!" Fang Dayou said categorically, and said: "The Nine Kings have already announced to the world that the Eastern Soldiers are only here to suppress the rebellion of the Emperor Ming, and not to move the people. Shandong's return to the Eastern Court is only a temporary measure, and in the future, the Holy Son of Heaven will return to the court, and it will still be the place of my Ming Dynasty. ”

"In this way, there is no such thing as falling or not falling." Huang Desu said slowly: "Since Dongting has such a loyal heart, I will naturally obey the order and do my best to eradicate the rebellion. ”

Before Fang Dayou set off, he knew that the so-called "sweeping away the rebellion and returning to the imperial family" of the Qing chief was originally to deceive the children, and it could not withstand scrutiny at all.

But well......

"Brother Cong'an," Fang Dayou's face changed, "I'm afraid that when the time comes, when the eastern soldiers come, they can't distinguish between loyal ministers and traitors, and the jade will be destroyed, isn't it wrong?" ”

Under the absolute liliang, even if it is a worse excuse, you can't believe it! (To be continued......)
