Chapter 763: People's livelihood is withering
Xu Xing thought that the scene she could see was just the same, and the wine city was not very far from Yuzhou, and the scenery would probably not be any different, but after Xu Xing entered the wine city, she was immediately stunned, because she saw that the mountains were full of hungry people in rags, and these hungry people were still picking tree bark.
Xu Xing immediately stopped the bicycle and asked the hungry people, "What are you doing?"
When the hungry people saw Xu Xing's bright clothes at this time, they gathered over and begged, "Give us something to eat, we are so hungry."
Xu Xing looked at the people who were picking the bark all over the mountains, and couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted, and then found the food he was carrying, which was twenty flatbreads in the backpack, and after finding the flatbread, Xu Xing was ready to distribute it, but the flatbread had just been taken out and was snatched away immediately.
Xu Xing hurriedly said, "No, it's really gone, the flatbread is gone now."
There were hundreds of hungry people on the mountain, all of them in the same state, ragged and yellow-skinned, who had not eaten for many days, and among the hungry people there were children crying, but the cries and shouts were hoarse, and they looked very pitiful.
At this time, everyone saw that there was no food in Xu Xing's hands, and then they stared at Lin Yue who was beside Xu Xing, in the eyes of everyone, Lin Yue also appeared with Xu Xing, so since Xu Xing has food on his body, then there is also food on Lin Yue's body.
The hungry people who didn't grab the flatbread then began to beg Lin Yue, hoping that Lin Yue could lend a helping hand at this time, but now at this time, Lin Yue was unmoved, sat on the bicycle and said lightly: "I have food, but I don't give it."
Lin Yue is not as kind as Xu Xing, the food is his own, if he is not willing to give it, then absolutely no one can force himself.
And after the hungry people saw that they couldn't beg, they then showed their fierce side, someone took out a knife from their bodies, and threatened Lin Yue: "Boy, I advise you to hand over the grain, otherwise, we will have to eat meat."
Human beings in the famine can do anything, and now at this time, Lin Yue is facing the threat of the hungry, in the eyes of the hungry, food is more important than anything else, if others don't give it, then they can only rob it, and even eat human flesh is not impossible.
Lin Yue was still unmoved, looked at the group of people with his hands crossed, and said in his heart, "Sure enough, there is no food, there is no order, isn't this just robbery?"
Xu Xing also persuaded, "They are so pitiful, can't you use flatbread to relieve the hunger of these people?"
Regarding Xu Xing's words, Lin Yue replied lightly: "I'm the examiner, don't treat me as your teammate, and don't want to interfere with any of my actions, understand?"
Xu Xing was helpless, it was impossible for him to let Lin Yue take the initiative to hand over his rations, and Lin Yue was not his subordinate, but his own examiner, and whether the task was qualified or not depended on Lin Yue's score.
However, after Xu Xing's current persuasion didn't work, a group of hungry people who surrounded Lin Yue became angry in their hearts, and evil was born on the side of their hearts. I saw that the guy in charge directly stabbed him in the direction of Lin Yue with a knife, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.
"Don't." Xu Xing hurriedly spoke to stop it, but it was too late.
A cold light flashed in the air, and many hungry people didn't see anything clearly at this time, but they found that the guy who was headed at this time had fallen to the ground, and there was a knife in his chest, and blood was constantly spurting out from the wound, like a fountain.
After seeing this scene, everyone was immediately frightened and retreated, at this time, Lin Yue said nonchalantly, "Keep coming up? I'm not one of those people who loves to kill, but if someone tries to kill me, I'll fight back."
Xu Xing also knew that he had stopped it too late, you must know that Lin Yue was an alien, and these people were just ordinary people, and they could actually declare their death the moment they made a move on the alien, if they stopped it faster, this person would not have died.
Xu Xing couldn't help but complain to Lin Yue: "Can you be so heavy? There's no way they're going to kill you!"
As for this statement, Lin Yue said lightly: "From the moment they attacked me, they were not hungry people, but sinners, this time they could do it to me for food, what if they did it to a person who had no power to do it? Who will fall at this time?"
After hearing this, Xu Xing couldn't refute it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.
And after Lin Yue killed someone, the rest of the hungry people didn't dare to approach anymore, because now at this time, they had already seen that the pair of men and women who appeared here were not simple characters, maybe they were evolutionaries, otherwise, how could they be so ruthless?
Xu Xing was helpless and continued to ask others: "Why are you picking up tree bark?"
Xu Xing knew that the bark of the tree could be used as a rope, but so many hungry people were picking the bark, so it was obviously wrong.
Next to Xu Xing was a man with yellow face and thin muscles, he grabbed half of the cake just now, and then stuffed it into his mouth, if he didn't do this, the next second the cake would be snatched away by others, and now, the man is trying to swallow all the big cakes stuffed into his mouth.
When swallowing, the throat of this hungry man directly bulged, Xu Xing was even worried about whether this guy would be choked to death at this time, if he could have water to lubricate it, it might be much more comfortable, but at this time, who dares to drink water, food can only be regarded as his own if he eats it in his stomach.
After swallowing hard, the hungry man finally said, "Miss Report, we are picking the bark of a tree and preparing for dinner!"
When Xu Xing heard this, she was taken aback: "Can you eat the bark?"
Xu Xing had heard of eating grass roots and tree bark, but Xu Xing always thought it was fake, after all, this thing was not nutritious, and even if it was eaten, it might not be able to digest it.
However, the hungry people said helplessly, "We don't want to eat the bark, but we can't help it, if we don't eat the bark, we will die, we have no food, the older generation said that we can live by eating the bark, then we can only imitate the older generation to do so, we just hope to survive, this is not too much, right?"
"Not too much, not too much! Do you have no food? I've heard that there is no suffering here, that the mutant birds have not passed through here, and that there have been floods and droughts." Xu Xing is still very puzzled, it stands to reason that there is no suffering here in Jiucheng, and it should be a safe autumn harvest, but now, there is a famine, which is really strange.
Speaking of this sad incident, the uncle who was questioned was very sad, and then said: "Why is there no food, it was originally a bumper harvest here in the wine city, but the food does not belong to us, it was all taken away by the city lord, if you want to eat, you have to work for the city lord, build a palace for him, and give him a life to enjoy Yes, work eighteen hours a day to barely fill his stomach, but even if it is such a position, we can't find a job."
After Xu Xing heard this, he immediately felt disgusted with the city lord of Jiucheng who had not yet met, this guy is really not a thing, now he is extremely poor and luxurious, and he actually ignores the people at the bottom, and now there are hungry people, and he can still enjoy life.
"Can't you resist?" Xu Xing continued to ask. "Resistance?" After the uncle talked about this, he immediately thought of the sad thing, and then said, "Why didn't you resist? Tens of thousands of people went to protest outside the palace, saying that they wanted food, but those who were under the city lord opened fire directly, and five or six thousand people were killed in the street, and everyone else fled? We don't have weapons, how can we resist?"
Xu Xing couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard such a narrative, so to speak, it is really dark in this place of Jiucheng, and people are also living in dire straits, so the city lord of Jiucheng must be killed, so as to completely solve the crisis faced by people, and then open a warehouse to release grain.
"This kind of dog thing, it's really damned, it seems to be called Xue Ba, hmph, I've memorized it!" Xu Xing muttered, and at this moment, anger appeared in Xu Xing's eyes.
At this time, the uncle also saw that Xu Xing was not a local at this time, so he continued: "Little girl, seeing that you are still young now, in the mood for love, let's get out of here quickly, if you are seen by the city lord's doglegs, you will be robbed, those things are not people, I don't know how many girls have messed up their poisonous hands."
Xu Xing nodded and said, "I know, I'll be careful."
Afterwards, Xu Xing rode in the direction of Jiucheng and continued to move forward, Lin Yue still didn't say anything, he just silently watched Xu Xing's reaction, wanting to know what kind of means Xu Xing would use.
When Xu Xing came to the city wall of Jiucheng, he immediately saw the five-meter-high city wall, many houses outside the city wall were demolished, and the surrounding houses were demolished to build the wall.
Before approaching, Xu Xing dressed up, rolled in the mud, stained the clothes on her body, found a headscarf in the backpack, folded it into a triangle, covered her head, and then used cosmetics to make her face more ugly.
"Brother Lin Yue, if you don't wear makeup, you will expose me." Xu Xing then looked at Lin Yue, hoping that Lin Yue could put on makeup.
But Lin Yue threw the bicycle into the tree and said lightly: "I don't go through the city gate, I enter from the city wall, but it is just a five-meter-high wall, and there is no difficulty at all."
Lin Yue was not going to enter the city through the city gate, so as not to arouse suspicion, and he didn't need to dress up like Xu Xing, as for the bicycle, it had been thrown into a tree and hung up, as long as ordinary people didn't look up, it would be invisible, and even if they looked up, they might not be able to take it down.
Xu Xing immediately walked towards the city gate, while Lin Yue was temporarily separated from Xu Xing and prepared to contact him again in the city.
Xu Xing pushed the bicycle to the outside of the wine city, and then wanted to enter, but just about to go in, he was immediately stopped, and after the two soldiers looked Xu Xing up and down, they saw that Xu Xing was dirty at this time, and he was still wearing a headscarf on his head, which was obviously the village girl.
As a result, the soldier suddenly lost the mind to move his hands and feet, but said directly: "If you want to enter the city, then pay the entrance fee, and hand over what you have before!"
I heard that I had to pay the entrance fee, Xu Xing was not too surprised, after all, it is also the case in Yuzhou, if people who come to Yuzhou for the first time do not have a residence permit in Yuzhou, they need to pay the entrance fee, but they do not need to apply for the certificate.
Xu Xing found a gold ring from her body, and there was no food left on her body, so now she could only use the gold ring in pain.
"Now you can find money, right?" Xu Xing then asked.
"Looking for money? You haven't paid the poll tax, road maintenance fee, excise tax, and walking tax. Still looking for money? What do you want?" The soldier stuffed the gold ring into his waist bag and said arrogantly.
