His waist is visibly thinner, and his face has become smaller and tighter.

"I feel refreshed when I walk now, you can help me take a look." Du Xingze took another ingot of silver.

Xiao Haitang was speechless, and after he sat down, she said, "Didn't you say that your body was fine?" Just keep it up. ”

Du Xingze smiled and said, "Divine doctor, it's been so long, and you're still leaving with the curtain, it's not interesting." ”

Xiao Haitang said: "For the sake of you giving us so much money, I will invite you to dinner today." ”

"Really?"

"Really."

Du Xingze said: "Okay, I'll wait for you here." ”

When it was noon, Xiao Haitang invited Du Xingze to eat in the restaurant.

Du Xingze made people serve a table of delicious food.

Little Begonia didn't take off the curtain.

Du Xingze said: "Our relationship is so good, we can eat together, don't you want to see what you look like?" ”

Xiao Haitang said: "I invite you to dinner because I have something serious to tell you." ”

Du Xingze asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"If you have the conditions to go out of the city, go out of the city quickly, for the siege has been going on for a long time, and the days in the city will be difficult." Little Begonia said.

Du Xingze said: "What are you talking about? What's there to worry about? The king will not leave us alone. ”

Xiao Haitang said: "You still have a lot of confidence in your king?" ”

"Think about it, Ji Demon City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once this place is breached, the spearhead is directly aimed at the beam, can the king not care?"

Little Begonia: "......"

She was a little speechless.

At the same time, she also felt that King Daliang was hopeless, and the stupid son of the landlord's family could see the problem, but he didn't react.

The siege has been around for more than 20 days, and they still haven't sent reinforcements.

In this case, when there is a famine in the city, the city will not be breached.

"Didn't you think that King Daliang never sent reinforcements over, and the food in the city would soon be eaten, and people and livestock would have nothing to eat?"

"Afraid of what? We have a lot of food at home, so you can rest assured. Du Xingze said.

Seeing that he was so sure, Xiao Haitang didn't say anything more.

Although they have known each other now, the relationship has not gotten better to that extent, she has already told him what she can say, and it is none of her business if he doesn't listen.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and the weather is gradually getting hotter.

Food began to run tight in the city.

The soldiers had no food to eat, so they could only drink some porridge every day, and the people had no food to eat, so the east family borrowed a little, and the west family borrowed a little.

At first, they were able to borrow food, but later on, they didn't have enough food for themselves, and no one gave them to borrow it.

Begonia and Qiuxia are no longer allowed to go outside, they have to stay in the yard.

He Tsuka sent someone to bring them cakes every day, and the cakes that were sent at the beginning would also bring some vegetables.

Later, there were no vegetables, only cakes.

Although I can't eat enough, I can't starve to death.

Xiao Haitang can see from their food that the situation in the city is not optimistic.

But fortunately, Du Xingze would send them a piece of meat every day to relieve their hunger, and also told her not to be afraid.

In addition to meat, there are some pastries and snacks and the like.

Later, the pieces of meat sent by Du Xingze became smaller and smaller, the pastries were gone, and there were some snacks, but the quantity was not as good as before.

In July, the weather was very dry.

There was no water in the city, and the rest of the people were blinded by the drought and sat in the shade waiting for death.

Xiao Haitang and Qiu Xia lived in the courtyard for several months and couldn't go out, and on this day she took the initiative to tell Mama Zhang that she was going to see Master He.

Mama Zhang went to see He Mound and came back to invite Xiao Haitang.

"What do you lack?" He Tsuka asked.

Xiao Haitang said: "No, I just want to look around the city and see the situation in the city." ”

He Tsuka sighed and said, "I'll take you personally." ”

He was actually protecting her, afraid that she would be harmed by the inhabitants of the city.

When they went out, they saw the people in the street sitting under the eaves of their houses, and some of them carrying people out with their faces sad.

The person who was carried had a peculiar smell on his body, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.

The weather is hot, and if you don't bury the people quickly, I'm afraid there will be an outbreak of plague in the city.

Seeing this tragic situation, Xiao Haitang's heart seemed to be pinched by something.

After fighting for so long, she deeply experienced the cruelty of war for the first time.

"General He, General He......" a woman shouted in a hoarse voice.

He Tsuka and Little Begonia both stood still.

This one woman pulled the hair of the other woman and came to He Tsuka's face with a disgraced face.

He Tsuka asked, "What grievances do you have?" ”

The woman said, "The big man told me to cook our child, and I gave my son to her to cook, half of each person."

The next day, when it was her turn to eat her son, she hid his head and held it in her bosom, refusing to take it out.

She ate my son's head yesterday, and today I should eat her son's head.

You judge us and ask her to hand over her son's head. ”

The two were pulling, and a round grunt thing fell out of the woman's arms, and the little begonia looked closely, and it was the head of a one- or two-year-old child.

The woman who asked for a judgment immediately stepped forward and grabbed it and gnawed it.

Xiao Haitang suddenly felt nauseous, covered her mouth and turned her head back.

He Tsuka was also petrified on the spot.

Xiao Haitang had just returned to the yard, and before she could breathe a sigh of relief, Du Xingze brought her another piece of meat.

When she saw the meat, she ran into the yard and vomited, vomiting all the bile.

"Girl, how are you? It doesn't matter, right? Qiu Xia asked nervously while patting her on the back.

Little Begonia retched, and there was no way to reply to her.

After a long while, all the tears she spat came out before she regained her strength.

She straightened up, and Qiuxia helped her to the house and poured her some more water.

The picture of the woman eating the child just now couldn't be waved away in Xiao Haitang's mind for a long time, and when she saw the meat sent by Du Xingze, she wanted to vomit.

She said to Qiuxia: "You and Mama Zhang should eat separately." ”

Qiu Xia had been following behind them before, and she didn't know what was going on between the two women, but she only knew that Xiao Haitang turned around and left with a bad face, and she hurriedly followed.

She said, "Girl, this is the ...... that Young Master Du gave you."

"Take it!" Xiao Haitang's voice was a little eager.

Qiu Xia didn't know why, so she hurriedly motioned to Mama Zhang to take the meat down.

Xiao Haitang drank a few more sips of cold water, and then eased up a little.

People say that tigers don't eat their children, what kind of energy can make people so numb and inhumane?

The thought of the numb and indifferent expressions of the two women made her heart panic.
