Chapter 25: The Lonely City

After looking at it carefully for a while, the two of them realized that they were in the mural, and they recalled the content of the mural slightly, and compared with the surrounding environment, it seemed that they were now in the third mural.

There are a total of nine murals in the palace, from the first meeting of the two, private life to the end of only one person, lonely old age, seven of which are the story between the two, and two are the two battles experienced by the emperor in his life, one is to win with less, and one to hold on to the lonely city for a long time, and finally win.

And the third mural they are in is the battle to defend the city, and the emperor at that time has just achieved something, joining the army as a minor non-commissioned officer. Then he went to the girl's house to ask for a kiss, but was humiliated by the girl's family, and the toad wanted to eat swan meat, so he was beaten out of the door with a stick. Fortunately, the maid sent medicine to the maid, silver taels and a handkerchief embroidered with mandarin ducks to the young man, and a poem was embroidered on the handkerchief.

"If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ”

The boy was stimulated and returned to the army vowing to work harder until he was worthy of the young lady. After marching with the army, after taking the lead in breaking through a city, he was promoted by his boss to become a junior officer, and stationed in this newly breached city with the other three school officers.

Just as the boy was lying on the bed recuperating from his wounds, and took out his handkerchief to miss Miss Miss, the bad news suddenly came, and their army was facing off across the river with the most powerful enemy in the south, and a great battle between the two sides was about to break out.

The allies behind them, who were supposed to send troops to help them, were turned against them, and instead of sending reinforcements, they marched aggressively to capture their territories.

The scene depicted in the mural is tragic, purgatory on earth, isolated and helpless, the boy and his comrades are interdependent and supportive, and they have endured for more than three months in this lonely city, and in the end, many brothers have died of hunger, and the rats and sparrows in the city have even the bark of trees, and the skins on the armoured saddles have been found and eaten. If there is no herb for the wound, he grabs a handful of dirt or puts burnt soot on the wound and hastily bandages the matter.

After three months of hard work, the army finally won, the squad returned, and the rebels were cleaned up, and the boy was rescued, and at this time the population of the city was no longer one in ten, and the four school officials were also dead, and only the boy was left, and the boy almost collapsed several times, all relying on the handkerchief to boost his spirits. And the handkerchief, under the careful care of the young man, was only a little old, and there was no blood stain or stain.

After the two of them finished thinking about the picture of the wallpaper, they looked around, and now they were in the lonely city, as if they were already in the late stage of defending the city, the soldiers around them had yellow faces and thin muscles, and their eyes were dull, and the enemy troops outside the city took turns to mock and shout, but the defenders at the head of the city even wanted to save the strength to move their mouths.

"Hey, Mrs. Shi, you are well-informed, what should you do in this situation now?" Song Yu, who had just recovered, began to be familiar with the cheapest again, obviously able to ask questions well, but he had to be naughty.

"I'm not a teacher, the teacher is for those nuns, and I'm just practicing under the master, not a monk. Jun Yixue was rarely angry, and explained to Song Yu in a light tone: "The ruins I encountered before, and the relevant materials I have seen, do not rely on someone's memories to produce this kind of thing, so I don't have a clue at present." ”

"I said before that there will be resources and technology in the ruins, what is the specific situation. ”

"There are all kinds of situations in the ruins, I have experienced a super-modern technology ruins before, the guardians of which are all kinds of robots, that kind of technological weapons can even penetrate the magic weapon Taoist robe of Taishangfu on my body, like the weapons hidden in your body, those two alloys are the drawings found in that ruins, which greatly improves our alloy level"

"So what can be produced by the ruins of this ancient context. ”

"This kind of relic generally improves the strength of the transcendental, and you will get some ancient exercises, spiritual weapons and some elixirs to improve your strength, and the heart book on your body is what my senior brother and Brother Bai Yun found in a ruin before. ”

"Didn't you say that this book of the heart was written by a great Confucian five hundred years ago?"

"Yes, we don't know why that great Confucian's heart letter appeared in the ruins. ”

Jun Yixue looked at the surroundings and didn't see anything happening, and helped Song Yu explain these things with extreme patience, and just when they wanted to continue, suddenly there was a commotion all around, and a group of people slowly walked in the distance, led by the man, that is, the young man in the mural, walked all the way to comfort the soldiers, and distributed today's food to the soldiers.

On the way through, the soldiers affectionately called him Officer Song, and he also patted the soldier's shoulder affectionately to show encouragement, and after a while, he came to Song Yu and Jun Yixue, seeing that they were full of energy and standing with ruddy faces, so he didn't say anything, handed each of them half a cake, and walked away after half a bowl of porridge.

After Song Yu and Jun Yixue took the cake and bowl, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly, it turned out that the so-called cake was made by mixing flour and mud, and the porridge in the bowl was a paste made by cutting the bark into pieces and grinding it.

After Song Yu handed the things in his hand to a soldier next to him who didn't seem to be full, he looked at Jun Yixue and said: "I feel it, we still feel pain, hunger, and thirst here, we have to hurry up and find a way to get out, otherwise if we stay for a long time, the two of us may have to eat these things." ”

Hearing Song Yu say this, Jun Yixue, who was looking at the food in her hand, quickly shook her head, she didn't want to eat this kind of thing: "But how can I go out?"

"In my experience with novels that I like to read, this kind of scene has to find a way to fulfill the wishes of its owner before leaving. Song Yu said with one hand under his elbow and touching his chin with the other.

"Then the owner of this place, that is, the Song school official just now, what should his wish be now?

"Let's think about it, the one before this mural, he just suffered so much humiliation, and after this mural, he was promoted to a general, returned to his hometown, and the Ming media was marrying a letter of appointment for that girl, and agreed to return to his hometown to marry when he became a general. So I think his current wish is not only to live, but also to return to his hometown. ”

"You're going to die, and you're still thinking about these things?" Jun Yixue complained about Song Yu's analysis with a disgusted face.

"You're not a man, how can you understand what men are thinking. In the face of dignity and love, life is sometimes not worth it. Song Yu ignored Jun Yixue's complaints, and the expression on her face became serious
