Chapter 105: Risking Your Life
"Adult ......"
Standing in front of Su Jin, Chai De was a little hesitant and didn't know how to speak.
This is the fifteenth day of the trap, and even if they save any more, everything they can eat in the city has already been eaten.
On the day when the food was just exhausted, everyone tacitly defended against the attack of the Tamurs, while hanging a breath to find food as much as they could, at the beginning Su Jin distributed the food, and each family was fixed, ensuring that everyone would not starve to death, but when the food was finished, everyone could only slaughter all the livestock in the city, and the livestock were eaten, and then the bark in the city was eaten to satisfy hunger, and the bark was eaten, followed by the grass roots and wild vegetables in the city...... However, as time passed, people's hearts slowly began to float, and it was not uncommon to grab food and food, and everyone stared at the person with a pair of frightened and eager eyes, guessing whether he brought bad luck or good news.
Chad couldn't bear to look at everyone like this, especially yesterday afternoon, when he saw a group of hungry young men with glowing eyes surrounding a dying child, just waiting for him to breathe.
What do you do after you breathe? He didn't think much of it, but when he was patrolling the city at night, he smelled something unusual in an alley.
He stepped over, but what he saw was a vigilant young man and a pot boiling in front of them......
When he thought of that scene, he felt sick and wanted to vomit, but after the disgust, there was a deep sadness.
What kind of hunger can make people behave in vain, forgetting their conscience and feelings?
Chad knows that this is just the beginning, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be more and more such things, and in the end, it is nothing more than the end of the fish dying and the net is broken.
Su Jin didn't see him say anything, only sat silently under the tree with his knees crossed, raised his head to look at the plum blossoms on the high branches, and the hem of his clothes was empty in the wind, as if he was going to ride the wind back in the next second.
Chade looked at her obviously too thin figure, and suddenly remembered that in order to save food for the people in the city, this adult only pinched half a piece of frozen hard steamed buns a few days ago and gnawed them, and only took a small bite every day, and it took ten days to finish gnawing, and then he didn't even eat the steamed buns, only carried them hard, and fainted from hunger twice the day before yesterday.
He sighed slightly, knowing that it was not easy for everyone, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say anyway.
Su Jin squinted her eyes and looked up at the plum blossom that remained on the highest branch, only to feel that her heart seemed to be throbbing faintly.
She took the knife and skillfully made a cut on her thigh, and watched the blood flow out with some indifference, and gasped slightly.
Every time she was poisoned, she had to distract herself with another kind of pain to make sure she didn't faint.
In today's situation, if she faints, I'm afraid she won't be able to wake up.
However, this trick has been used for a long time, and it seems to be effective...... It's not very good either.
"Your Excellency, ......" Chai De was a little unbearable, looking at the large and small scars on her body that had been scratched by herself, and she only felt that her throat was sour.
"I'll go for a walk." Su Jin suddenly made a sound, kicked the knife on his waist, and barely stood up, but he fainted as soon as he got up.
The body was suddenly held by a big hand, and Lu Jun appeared out of nowhere, looking at Su Jin with his eyes down.
"Is there anything wrong?" Lu Jun also lost a lot of weight, and he looked a little tired at the moment.
"It's okay, it's just dizzy after sitting for a long time." Su Jin shook her head and stepped out of the dilapidated courtyard.
The entire Cloud City was dead silent, no one walked on the streets, and all the animals in the city that could move, from livestock, cats and dogs, sparrows and even mice, were extinct. Everyone snuggled under one roof to save their strength and waited for death to come.
Su Jin remembered that at the beginning, everyone often buried the dead, and then even the dead were not buried, and several families escaped the artillery fire but died in the famine, and there was no one left, becoming desperate, when she entered the house, there were those who died on the bed, those who died on the chairs, and those who died on the ground......
Step by step, she stepped forward.
Someone in front of her suddenly fell to the ground with a "bang" and landed at her feet, Su Jin was startled and immediately bent down to help, and found that he was trembling all over, his mouth suddenly couldn't open, and his teeth were involuntarily closed tightly.
Su Jin hurriedly pinched the branch beside her, because she hadn't eaten for too long and had no strength, it took her all her strength to break his mouth open, and she was sweating profusely and poured a bowl of water mixed with wild vegetable juice next to him, and when she saw him gradually recovering, she suddenly sat on the ground with weak legs.
She looked back at the dying people in the city, swept her gaze over their faces, and finally stopped at the plum tree she had just seen.
The plum blossom was thin and swaying in the wind, and it shook into her eyes, reflecting a bleak color.
This troubled world is as rugged and thin as it, but fortunately, this noble red plum has not fallen into the mud before it has fallen into the branches.
She lowered her eyes, suddenly knelt straight, and bowed down in the deserted streets of Cloud City.
Lu Jun's face changed suddenly, as if he suddenly understood what she was going to do, and subconsciously stepped forward, but his steps suddenly stopped.
The people in the city looked complicated, but they all quietly watched the thin adult kneel on the ground, silently bend down and kowtow to get up and bow again.
Su Jin was indifferent, didn't care about everyone's eyes, and only did her own thing.
She worships the city, the lives that have been lost, and the survivors of the present.
Even though she was accustomed to seeing life and death, her heart had never been numb, and how could she not be in pain when she saw such a miserable situation in the city?
She Su Jin, as an official of Yuncheng, has no martial arts, and she can't protect the people of a city, so that everyone has fallen to this point today, she is derelict in her duties!
She bowed three times, got up by herself, held her somewhat dizzy forehead and calmed down, calmly patted the dust on her knees, and turned her head to speak to Lu Jun with a serious face behind her.
"Lord Lu."
Lu Jun looked at her in silence and did not answer.
"With your wisdom, I am relieved that Yuncheng will be handed over to you, I have already written a letter to Wangcheng, and reached an agreement with the city guard, as long as the Tamr people retreat, they will immediately open the city gate and send food, please supervise this matter for me."
She turned her head again and spoke to the monkey who had been silently following her.
"Monkey, I have something to ask you."
"You say." The monkey immediately stepped forward, saw Su Jin take out the necklace around his neck, touched it reluctantly in the palm of his hand, and then carefully took it off and wrapped it in a handkerchief and handed it to him, with a complicated expression, I don't know what she meant.
"Oh, take it, give it back to him." Su Jin pretended to smile calmly, "Blame me for not being honest, I owe him, I will pay it back in the next life." ”
The monkey's face was frightened, and he didn't say a sentence of "You keep this for yourself and the master" before he could say it, but suddenly Master Su's eyes were slightly red in front of him, and he stuffed the necklace to him, and added.
"Today's matter, please tell Xiao Yan ten days later, don't be early in a day. In addition, there is another sentence that brought it to him for me, falling in love with me is probably not a good taste, it is not worth it...... Let him plan for himself early. ”
He was stunned.
Su Jin smiled, suddenly stepped out, and said loudly to Chai De, "General Chai, open the city gate for me!" ”
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder and lightning suddenly struck Cloud City, and the atmosphere suddenly became frightened and anxious.
In the silence of the drowned, Chad spoke incredulously, "You just ...... Say what? ”
"I said-" Su Jin repeated with a smile, not caring at all about the sudden sharp eyes of the people behind him, "Open, city, gate!" ”
Chai De gritted his teeth and stepped forward, Su Jin's ears hurt from the sound of the impact of the golden armor all over his body.
"You should know," he gritted his teeth, his forehead bruised, "how dangerous it is to open the gates at this moment, and you should know what you mean by doing so." ”
"Of course I know," Su Jin didn't care, "it means betrayal, open the door!" ”
"You ......" Chai De was speechless for a while, not believing that Su Jin would behave like this, "You are not hungry and faint to do this, do you want to go out of the city alone or let them in......"
"Ah, it's true that I'm hungry and faint, I almost forgot," Su Jin suddenly patted his head, turned his head and swept his gaze, and stepped forward in a few steps to lift the skinny Luo Cheng, who was also hungry, and spoke, "I'm not alone, I have to take him with me." ”
"I thought you were a man, but I misjudged you!" Chad was furious and threw his hand away.
And this move fell in the eyes of the people of Cloud City, and it immediately ignited a raging fire.
Who is Luo Cheng? It's a traitor in Cloud City, what does Su Jin mean by bringing him?
Do you want to surrender together?
"What are you going to do?" Someone behind him suddenly shouted sharply, as if all the anger had erupted, "What are you going to do to open the city gates, you want to give up on us?" ”
"Definitely!" Someone picked it up again, and when he saw Su Jin's body suddenly shocked, he immediately shouted loudly, "The world is as black as a crow, where can these people in high positions really think about our life and death?" ”
"Phew, traitor!" Someone spat at Su Jin again, "You can't die well!" ”
Someone threw out the stone in hand, and it smashed on Su Jin's shoulder with a "bang", and she stumbled in pain.
Then there was endless insults and smashing, Su Jin lowered his eyes and said nothing.
The light suddenly dimmed, and Lu Jun stood behind her, isolating all malice and stones for her, and looked down at her, "Su Jin, if you pay for them like this, you may not lose benefits." ”
"At least let them live," Su Jin snorted, "Since I have been hit by the Gu and there is no antidote, I won't be able to live long anyway, so it's better to give it a try, if I can kill Ta Mo, this war will be over." ”
"Wishful thinking." Lu Jun suddenly sneered, "You know how difficult it is to do this. ”
"I know, but you can't stop doing it because it's too difficult."
Su Jin took a breath and dragged Luo Cheng forward, "What's more, I have always felt that it is my dereliction of duty that Yuncheng has become like this, rather than waiting for the humiliation of stealing a life or being killed, it is better to fight hard, maybe it is unknown who will die." ”
Lu Jun was about to speak, but she suddenly raised her head and interrupted him, "Open the door!" ”
The soldiers guarding the city were in tears, their eyes were full of hatred for Su Jin, but Su Jin's order he had to obey, he could only go away, and in the moment he passed by Su Jin, he gritted his teeth and spoke, "My lord, are you right about those brothers we went?" ”
Su Jin lowered his eyes and didn't say a word, just watched him open the door, turned his eyes, and suddenly spoke to Chade behind him.
"General Chai, please do one thing. After I leave, please ......" Su Jin had already seen the military flag of the Tamr people, and without the slightest hesitation, she stepped out, her words floated in the wind, which made the eyes of Chai De, who was full of disdain, suddenly shocked, and looked at Su Jin's distant back with an incredible face.
She said, "Please seal the gates of the city with molten iron so that everything is safe." ”
Molten iron seals! It means that Su Jin didn't leave a way out for himself, so let's go...... By no means a surrender!
Chad subconsciously went to pull her, but the gate was closed at the moment, and he stared at a pair of eyes, stretching out his hand as if he wanted to pull the thin man through the gate.
Behind the door, the sound of the horse's snort was so clear, and Su Jin slowly raised his head.
