Chapter 33: Hard Years
In the days that followed, Mo Ling fled with Huang An and others, and more than 350,000 of the 650,000 soldiers wanted to go home to farm.
Huang An and others did not object to this, but gave some plates to be used on the road.
Armor and weapons were left behind, so as not to provoke death.
These materials were arranged by Huang An to be sold to those forces who needed them in exchange for some money to prepare for the rest of their lives.
It is really inconvenient to carry 300,000 people on foot, and it is difficult to buy food in the current troubled times, and it has not yet completely entered spring, so it needs food to live.
A bonfire in front of him illuminated Huang An's tired face, his haggard face, his messy hair hadn't been combed for a long time, his blood-colored eyes had been staring at the bonfire, squatting on the ground and holding his legs with his hands.
From the imperial capital, he fought his way out of the siege.
He will never forget the scene he saw with his own eyes, the palace maids and eunuchs fled, and all the ministers who lived in the house were killed.
Bloodbathed in the palace, blood flowed like a river!
At the last glance, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowing endlessly.
Not only Huang An is like this, but even the soldiers have been affected to some extent.
Today's palace has long since become a 'dead city' that exists!
"Several, the meal is here." General Song Wu came with a wooden tray and placed it next to them before leaving.
After more than three months of continuous struggles, there is not much grain and grass left that was originally prepared.
Even the meals of Huang An and the others were just porridge made of some fragmented corn residues mixed with tattered vegetable leaves.
The prince's meals were like this, and the soldiers' meals were worse than this, and a bowl of rice had less than a mouthful of rice, and it was all water.
"Song Wu, what are the soldiers eating tonight, is this also the case?" Picked up the bowl of porridge and took a sip, the taste was so thick that Huang An wanted to vomit.
That's it, it's completely incomparable to before.
"That's it." Song Wu didn't want to mention these things, if it weren't for Huang An asking behind closed doors, he wouldn't want to say it.
"How much food do we have?" Squeezing his brows, Huang Zhengping asked bitterly.
"It can last up to seven days." Song Wu's hair was a little gray, if he could, he really didn't want to face these problems, and his head turned gray in one day.
The blow to the army without rice was the greatest.
In troubled times, it is a hundred times more difficult to obtain rice and grain than usual.
Many families have no rice to eat, and many people die of starvation.
"Seven days ......" Huang An and Huang Zhengping also had tears in their eyes, pursed their lips, and couldn't speak.
If you only have enough food for seven days, you should save money, and what will happen after seven days.
"It's okay, you can go down." Let Song Wu retreat, Huang An and Huang Zhengping hugged their heads and cried, this is the rarest.
You are not afraid of broken arms and legs, as long as there is food, you can still live.
Running out of food means losing even life, it's too hard.
"Second brother, you bring this bowl of porridge to Mo Ling, the girl is not hungry, follow us don't have any stomach problems when you are hungry."
Picking up the bowl with rice soup on the ground, Huang An said to Huang Zhengping with red eyes, even his hand was trembling.
"Big brother, little brother guessed right, you like Miss Mo Ling, right?"
What is the mind of the eldest brother, as a younger brother who wears a pair of pants, he knows it.
"Children don't understand anything, don't talk nonsense." Huang An also knew that Huang Zhengping was 18 years old, and he himself was in his 20s, and even the sixth sister was not young.
People in their 20s don't even have a wife, and it's a joke to say it.
The first emperor was alive, and Huang An was dedicated to studying and wanted to share the burden for the first emperor as soon as possible.
Now that's the time to talk about that.
"Hmph, I know it without saying it, since I like to chase it. Now you, I, and the six sisters are not princes and princesses, and they have already become wanderers, so what's inappropriate. ”
After the words fell, he walked away, and brought the bowl of porridge to Mo Ling.
"Big brother, I support the second brother. If you like it, you can boldly chase it, what is there to be embarrassed about. As the second brother said, you, the second brother, and the fourth brother are no longer princes, and I am not a princess. Now that everyone is equal, you can go after the spirit. ”
Seeing that Huang An had that idea but didn't have that courage, Huang Jingjing cheered him on.
At this moment, Huang An's godless eyes suddenly brightened, as if he had his own goal.
Not far away, under the roots of a large tree, the black shadow found some edible weeds according to Mo Ling's request.
Although it tastes a little bitter, what can it be, if you eat bitterly, you can become a master, and you can't even eat this bit of bitterness, how can you achieve a great career in the future.
'I'd like to talk to you. Chewing on the bitter blades and roots, and leaning helplessly and helplessly against the tree, Mo Ling spoke.
'What's wrong with the two? Let's hear it. 'Plug-ins are also boring.
'What did you think about the lack of a system?' Now I regret that if it weren't for those things before, I might still be living a happy life, now? I can't eat enough food, a mouthful of blades of grass. Why is there only seasoning in the mall, for Mao didn't eat!! ’
Mo Ling is really about to collapse, and the water he drinks now has to be boiled, and he doesn't dare to drink the water if he doesn't boil, it's uncomfortable.
"You didn't ask for it, but you really need to do it yourself, and you can't do it by complaining here." After thinking about it, he said, "Well, this task was originally prepared to be shown to you later, but now you don't have any motivation, and it is very simple to complete this task." ’
As he spoke, a task appeared in front of Mo Ling's eyes.
This task... That's right?
How do you let her fight for supremacy? I haven't said that before.
The main thing is that there is no time limit yet, and it is also said in the parentheses at the back.
This continent has always been in the form of dynasties, and it will never end.
If you want to break it, the way is ...... No.
'System, I want to tear you up, what to do. This desire is super strong. ’
"Mo Ling, thinking that you should be hungry too, this bowl is yours, remember to eat it."
Regarding the previous affairs between Huang An and Mo Ling, Huang Zhengping didn't want to interfere, his task was only to deliver food.
He put the bowl next to Mo Ling and left.
"Forget it, Huang An has brought you food, Ben Hang thinks this person is good, if you can...... The host can try to socialize. ’
After saying something unusually bad, he turned around and ran.
'Rub! Lao Tzu is a girl even if he has someone he likes, he can never be a man, he can't be in this life! ’
Puffed out his mouth, raised his eyebrows, and withdrew from the space, chewing the bitter blades of grass in his mouth had already been in his stomach, and looked at the bowl of porridge, Mo Ling opened his mouth, and took a sip.
Why isn't there a wolf or a wild boar around here?
Anyway, it's also a forest, why is it so quiet, come and satisfy your cravings!
After a period of madness, Mo Ling still recognizes himself, tries to survive, and strives to live out himself.
In the middle of the night, the breeze in the forest was blowing, and the drowsiness that had been blown away was also blown, which would make Mo Ling sleep.
Looking at the starlight in the sky, I suddenly remembered that in my previous life, it was the only time I had time to look at the night outside.
It's exactly the same as at this moment, I really miss it.
