Chapter 714: Under the Famine

On the vast southeastern plains, the autumn wind whined softly, and there was a depression. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sea buckthorn that has grown densely again stands on this plain like a continuous city wall, but it is very abrupt.

And at the base of the sea buckthorn wall, a tired woman was leaning over, lowering her voice and shouting cautiously: "Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng! This bastard boy has gone nowhere, see if I don't get him back, clean up well...... Ah Cheng! When I heard it, I quickly agreed, you are going to die in a hurry......

She was looking left and right, when suddenly a hand grabbed her ankle, and she cried out coldly: "......Ahhh

"Mom, shhhh A muffled voice came from under the woman's feet.

The woman was stunned for a moment, looked down, and immediately dragged out the little boy who was lying in the sea buckthorn bushes, took off his pants and beat him: "Tell you not to go near this forest, you don't listen, you don't listen! If you are caught and cooked by the monkeys on the other side of the wall, do you want your mother to do chores?"

"Mom, I'......m hungry," the little boy gritted his teeth and didn't cry, but said pitifully. When the woman's heart twitched when she heard this, her raised hand fell weakly, and her face was sad, but she couldn't say a word.

It's been two days. For two whole days, the group of them had not eaten a grain of rice, and only picked some dew fruit in the field. Not only that, but they had to bring back enough wild vegetables and fruits for the grown-ups, or they would be completely abandoned - left to fend for themselves, and most likely captured and boiled into broth by the natives on the other side of the wall.

Well, that's what the adults in the army say. Those natives are very fond of cannibalism, and they are extremely fierce!

The woman felt that it didn't matter what happened to her now, but what about Ah Cheng? Is he still so young, is he going to die on this strange continent?

Every time she thought of this, a chill could not help but rise in the woman's heart.

The little man silently lifted his pants, pulled the sleeve of his mother, who was in a trance, and whispered, "Mom, look at this." ”

The woman was stunned: "What?"

The little boy had not gone far before he crouched down at the base of the sea buckthorn wall and gently cut a layer of dead leaves. A golden yellow immediately appeared in the woman's eyes.

"Sand, sea buckthorn fruit, so many!" the woman's pupils narrowed, barely holding out her voice.

After that battle, the non-desert side retreated to the quarantine zone in disgrace, and the sea buckthorn wall was restored overnight, which caused a huge blow to the morale of the non-desert migration army.

What made them even more frustrated was that the sweet and sour golden berries on the new sea buckthorn branches were also much less, and most of them grew in heights that were difficult for ordinary people to reach.

Although the adults had forbidden them to go near the sea buckthorn wall, many people had secretly come to pick the fruit because of the lure of it.

Of course, there are also people who are entangled in a green vine and dragged to the other end of the sea buckthorn wall, and have not been heard from since. According to the non-indifferent upper echelons, they were naturally captured and boiled into broth and eaten. But even so, hungry non-indifferent people still often take risks.

It's a pity that they haven't been able to find much food in this thorn anymore these days.

So today, when so many sea buckthorn fruits appeared in front of the woman, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva subconsciously.

The little boy picked up a handful of sea buckthorn fruit and handed it to his mother: "Mom, eat it quickly! I've eaten enough, these are what I left for you, as well as Uncle Ming, Xiaofen, and Aunt Li. ”

“...... Where did you get all this fruit?" the woman couldn't hold back any longer, grabbed two handfuls of sea buckthorn fruit and stuffed them into her mouth, and asked urgently as she devoured them.

The little boy smiled innocently, pointed to the root of the wall not far away, and said, "Get in from there." ”

The woman looked up and saw that it was a small hole formed between the branches of sea buckthorn, and only a child like Ah Cheng could get into it.

"Mom, let me tell you, if you are deep in this forest, there will be a lot of this kind of fruit! And the deeper it goes, the bigger and sweeter the fruit will be. The little boy said happily.

When the woman heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, but then they dimmed again, shook her head and smiled bitterly: "It's a pity, if only you children can go in and pick them, you won't be able to pick much in a day." Are we going to have to risk your lives to feed you, bastards?"

"But Mom, there will always be a hole in such a long tree wall that adults can get into, right?"

The little boy said with some excitement: "Besides, if we let Uncle Ming and the others come together and find a way to enlarge these small holes a little, maybe everyone will be able to go in and pick fruits to eat! If everyone is together, it will be easier to escape when they encounter that kind of green vine, right?"

"This ......" the woman's face was full of hesitation, but after glancing at the sea buckthorn fruits again, she finally said, "I'll talk to them when I go back." If we could get in, we wouldn't have to risk it kids. ”

"You can't let your children take risks, can you take risks yourself?" a nonchalant voice suddenly appeared, and asked again.

The woman was stunned when she heard this, raised her head and followed the voice, and then hurriedly knelt down with the little boy: "Lord Biluo!"

"The deity has repeatedly ordered that you are not allowed to go near the sea buckthorn wall to collect sea buckthorn fruits. You ......" Biluo glanced at the mother and son, and said slowly, "What a boldness." ”

The woman's heart trembled when she heard this, and she hurriedly grabbed the ground with her head, and wailed: "I beg Lord Biluo to be merciful!" All the mistakes are the fault of the people's women, Ah Cheng is young and ignorant, please just punish the people's women, spare Ah Cheng this time......"

Biluo, who had a cold face, was not angry and arrogant, but looking at the mother and son in front of him, he sighed secretly in his heart and was extremely entangled. Let her people fall into such a situation, in fact, she is extremely remorseful.

The deity brought them out, but the days are getting more and more embarrassing, and now they are almost on the verge of life and death...... What a sage in vain!

Under the turn of her mind, she indifferently flicked her sleeves, lifted up the woman with blood on her forehead, and then drifted away: "Leave quickly, don't take an example!"

-----

"At this point, the deity thinks that he can turn a blind eye to their sea buckthorn fruit picking. Light rhythmically tapped on the stone table and said slowly.

Biluo was stunned when she heard this: "What?"

It doesn't matter with a bare face: "Anyway, it's just some ordinary people who waste food, it's naturally best to be able to pick food and come back, if it is caught by the person opposite, it won't reveal any confidential information, and it also reduces the pressure on our grain and grass." ”

"You mean, you want to give up on them?" Biluo's face suddenly became gloomy.

"Put away your senseless kindness, Biluo. "Now, we have to think about the big picture. There are only a few people at the bottom, and they should have the consciousness to sacrifice at any time. ”

Biluo was silent for a long time and said, "...... You've sacrificed a lot of people. ”

"If you have a better way, you can also bring it up. Hikari shrugged his shoulders, "Figuring out how much they can gain in the next day, so as to set task indicators, can they not be allowed to eat better than the nobles, that is the real mess ......" (To be continued.) )
