Everyone has their own bottom line. The bottom line of the fifth uncle is not to eat his own folks. And my bottom line is constantly changing.

When I wasn't full, I didn't care what meat he had. Stuff it in your stomach and say it. When I was full, I paid attention to the way of the sage and read poetry and books. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a bit hypocritical.

Later, I found out that most of the hungry people who fled the famine were doing this kind of thing. If you don't have a face, put it on the bright side and eat it. If you want to be faced, eat it secretly.

Since everyone is like this, I am also calm. It's just that when I returned to normal society, this experience turned into a nightmare.

The third day we met Mr. Teach. The city of Beijing is already in sight. I put charcoal on my coat. Re-described the two words Zhao Mang. Then wear it and walk in the direction of the city walls.

The blind mother-in-law said that I would still kill Mr. Lu this time. I scoffed at this statement.

To be honest, there is only one fifth uncle left in my relatives. And our relationship is not like a relative, the fifth uncle is more like our leader.

I will not be threatened to kill Mr. Lu again. What's more, my name is written on my clothes, and Mr. Lu can recognize it at a glance.

We walked out of Beijing with joy in our hearts. The soup kitchen that the fifth uncle promised us did not appear. The area is full of hungry people, and there is no end in sight.

The villagers all looked at the fifth uncle numbly, and no one blamed him, because he is now our spiritual leader, and we are all waiting for him to come up with an idea.

The fifth uncle scolded: "Damn." Could it be that all the hungry people have gathered here? ”

He nodded to the two young men and said, "Go and see what the hell is going on." ”

The two of them ran away as fast as they could. After a while, they ran back panting with a panicked face: "It's over, it's over." ”

The fifth uncle shouted: "What's over? Make the words clear. ”

The two of them said upside down: "The emperor is dead." The anti-thieves occupied the capital. The rich families of the city were looted. ”

The fifth uncle slapped his thigh, squatted on the ground with his eyes closed: "It's over, it's really over now." ”

The two lads shuddered, "There's worse news. The bubonic plague is going on in the city, and it is only a symptom now, and it is estimated that there will be a big outbreak in three or two days. I can walk now. are all preparing to escape ......"

The fifth uncle stood up with a pale face and looked back at the villagers gathered around him. Then he said, "Let's go back and go the other way." ”

We were all at a loss: "Which way to go?" ”

The fifth uncle gritted his teeth and said, "Go to the south." ”

In the crowd, a voice said, "Didn't my grandfather die when he went to the south?" ”

I thought to myself: This is good, the fifth uncle is simply lifting his own stone and shooting himself in the foot.

The fifth uncle waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's because he's stupid." He pointed to the adult who was cooking porridge and said, "We have these two chefs." Are you still afraid of starvation? ”

The villagers were silent, obviously acquiescing to the fifth uncle's method.

And I looked at the city of Beijing and looked at the Lu character in the palm of my hand.

I sighed and thought to myself, "I'd better go find Mr. Lu." Let's end this qiē, nightmarish days. ”

Outside the city was dusty, and everywhere there were hungry people in ragged clothes, wailing all over the wilderness. Someone is dying every second. Hell is on earth.

I wrapped the clothes on my body and tried my best to smooth out the two words Zhao Mang behind me. Then he walked in the direction of the city gate.

In the morning I drank a bowl of porridge. It's nauseous in the throat and solid in the stomach.

The blind mother-in-law said that I would kill Mr. Lu today, although I firmly did not believe this statement. But. Theoretically, I'd meet him today.

When the fifth uncle saw that I was leaving, he grabbed me and shouted, "Where are you going?" ”

I pointed to the city gate: "Enter the city." ”

The fifth uncle said, "Didn't you hear what we just said? We're not going to the capital anymore. Go south. ”

I shook my head and said briefly, "I'm going into town." ”

The fifth uncle looked like he hated iron but not steel, he waved his hand and said, "You are killing yourself." Without the villagers, begging for food by yourself will have to die sooner or later. ”

I smiled and said, "Have a nice trip." Fifth uncle, thank you for taking care of you along the way. Then I went to the gate.

The fifth uncle was still behind me to dissuade me, but seeing that I was resolute, he finally gave up.

There are so many people he has to take care of. It can't be stuck here because of me.

There is already chaos in the city of Beijing. As I entered the city, I heard talk that the rebels had been defeated and were about to flee from the city. All the food in the city was taken away by the rebels.

I shook my head, feeling like a detached old man. Indifferent to a qiē.

I turn a blind eye to the suffering of sentient beings, I just want to find Mr. Lu.

I walked back and forth through the streets. called Mr. Lu all the way. The city of Beijing is now a dead city. Everywhere is in ruins, this is the scene after looting.

There were very few pedestrians on the street, and occasionally one or two people ran briskly through the alley, and disappeared like ghosts.

I looked for a while, and suddenly heard a faint voice: "Zhao Mang, is it you?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and followed the voice to look back and forth: "Mr. Lu? Where are you? ”

The voice said, "I'm Mr. Lu." Are you Zhao Mang from the empty house in Huaicheng? ”

I was overjoyed and struggled to discern the source of the sound. After a while, I locked on a haystack. The voice must have come from here.

I moved the dry grass away and said, "I'm Zhao Mang, Mr. Lu, and I've finally found you." ”

When I moved the dead grass away, I was stunned by what I saw.

Mr. Lu was covered in blood, and his face was covered with knife wounds. Zhen has private skills.

I anxiously went to help him: "Mr. Lu go, I'll take you to the doctor." ”

Mr. Lu shook his head slowly, he raised his right arm, and said, "I am Lu Laodao." ”

I saw that there was only one ** left on that arm, and there was no palm. This scene is too shocking and too tragic.

I looked at him and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Mr. Lu took out another hand in his arms, and actually took out a hand. He brought the severed hand close to his right arm and said, "Tight, my hand." ”

Then he lit up the word "Zhao" in the palm of his right hand, and said with a smile: "I'm Lu Laodao, it's genuine, don't be mistaken." ”

I didn't want to listen to his jokes anymore, so I said, "I'll take you away." Let's go recuperate. ”

Mr. Lu shook his head: "In this life, I am related to the royal family. The thief named me to take me. I can't go. ”

I suddenly understood, no wonder Mr. Lu was injured like this.

I smiled bitterly and said, "Why are you bothering with this troubled water?" ”

Mr. Lu also said helplessly: "Do you think I want to?" Born in someone's family. I didn't decide. ”

I thought to myself, "I'm on the move, and I'm not hungry." You're much more comfortable than I am. ”

Mr. Lu took a dagger from his body, and it was yellow and clear, and eighty percent of it was made of gold. He shoved the dagger into my arms and said, "Come, kill me." ”

I was stunned. I even suspected that I had misheard: "What did you say?" ”

Mr. Lu said, "Kill me." ”

I anxiously asked, "Which one are you singing?" I've come all the way to find you. It's not to kill you. Mr. Lu, let's go. ”

Mr. Lu's eyes were desperate. He ripped open his chest with his only left hand. I saw three or four bloody holes in his chest. Every wound is fatal.

Mr. Lu closed his eyes slightly and said bitterly, "I can't die." I was caught by the thieves, tortured, and in great pain. They pierced my heart and lungs with knives, and I can now perceive that every time I breathe, the broken lobes of my lungs twitch in pain, and every heartbeat makes me break out in a cold sweat. But I just can't die. I escaped, but they didn't catch me, but followed me, driving me away like hunting, and every now and then they stabbed me. Zhao Mang, do you understand this feeling? The two of us were cursed, I can't die, I have to live and suffer forever. ”

He shoved the dagger into my arms, pointed to his chest and said, "Only you can kill me." You are a specialist, and only you can free me. ”

I looked at him bitterly: "The two of us are cursed. Is the meaning of my zài to kill you? ”
