Chapter 14: The Old Soldier

"It's not going to work, it's not going to work." When Chen Zhongyuan heard this, he immediately shook his head and refused, saying that he didn't agree with anything, "We are not hungry yet, we can hold on." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a gurgling sound in the darkness, and his hungry stomach growled.

The slap in the face came too quickly, Chen Zhongyuan's face became popular, and the embarrassing words in the dark came to his mouth before he could speak, and the gurgling sound came one after another.

Who else can you say now? 'The law does not hold the people accountable'!

"Divide it! It's a good thing to plug between your teeth! Hong Lianshuo held back a smile and said.

Chen Zhongyuan ordered the steamed buns they brought to be dipped in the dipping vegetables, but they tasted a little salty and ate them!

"I have it too!" Cui Ming said in disbelief while holding half a steamed bun in both hands.

"Mrs. Hong said that those who meet have a share, and you have too." Chen Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Cui Ming held half a steamed bun in his hand and put it in front of his nose and sniffed greedily.

"Mother, this steamed bun is so delicious, soft and soft!" Hong Wangyue muttered quietly.

"It's delicious, let's eat it every day in the future, every meal." Hong Lianshuo lowered his head and said softly.

The steamed steamed buns are sweet and silky with the fragrance of wheat.

"Really?" Hong Wangyue said excitedly.

"Of course, what am I lying to you for?" Hong Lianshuo chuckled and said.

"I also want to eat every day, every meal."

"Who wouldn't!"

"Can't you soldiers eat all at once?" Hong Lianshuo said in surprise.

"Can't! Hong Niangzi didn't know that she ate white-flour steamed buns all of a sudden, which was only available to the scholars, and it would be good for us to have a nest. ”

"It's more of a wild vegetable gnocchi with a bit of saltiness."

Hong Lianshuo's eyes widened in disbelief, "It's a soldier anyway, the emperor is not a hungry soldier." ”

"What happened to the soldiers? It is also divided. ”

"If I can eat white-flour steamed buns, this life will be worth it."

"Definitely." Hong Lianshuo said with a firm gaze.

Chen Zhongyuan smiled when he heard this, and sneered in his heart, how could it be? It would be nice to be able to escape from the city alive, but now I don't dare to think that far.

Half a steamed bun, three or two bites into the stomach, this has not yet tasted the taste!

"Captain Chen, is there anything else?"

Chen Zhongyuan recognized who it was when he heard the voice, "Sixi, you're done eating, it's gone, it's just a little white bread." He smiled and said, "What's the matter, isn't there enough to eat?" ”

"I still want to eat." Sixi said shyly.

"There's food behind you, and when you get out, let's talk about it! Not now! You can't make an open fire. Chen Zhongyuan deliberately lowered his voice.

"Alright then!" Sixi said unwillingly, "It would be nice if it were meat buns." ”

"Don't don't, who knows what kind of meat is in this meat bun." When Chen Zhongyuan heard this, he hurriedly said, "In case this is human flesh, we will eat it or not." ”

"That's a bun." When everyone heard this, they said, "Steamed buns! ”

&*&

"How much food, weapons?" Hong Lianshuo sat cross-legged and filled two wells with a water bladder, which was sweet and clear, and the taste was not bad.

The son sat in Hong Lianshuo's arms, and his excited eyes were like copper bells and he couldn't sleep.

"There are 500 catties of grain, and if one person has one catty a day, it will be consumed in half a month." Chen Zhongyuan said with some frustration, I heard a lot, but there was not much left.

"Wolves have more meat and less meat." Hong Lianshuo said with a little regret, and suddenly said briskly, "This proves that there is food, let's find it again." ”

"I don't know if it's okay, Yandu City has not been peaceful these years, the people have no intention of farming, and the land has little production." Chen Zhongyuan said with a discouraged face, he is full of energy, and he is also weak.

"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Didn't the soldiers who went out bring grain and grass? Hong Lianshuo raised his eyebrows lightly and said unexpectedly, "Or do you want to fight to feed the war?" ”

"Feeding war with war?" Chen Zhongyuan asked suspiciously.

"One word: robbery, it is to plunder." Hong Lianshuo said simply and straightforwardly, very rough!

"It would be nice if there was food, the key is to fight for many years, natural disasters and man-made disasters, no one cultivates them, where will the food come from." Chen Zhongyuan said dejectedly.

"Then how to solve this military ration?" Hong Lianshuo vaguely guessed.

Sure enough, Chen Zhongyuan said in a muffled voice, "Human flesh is used as military food." As soon as these words came out, there was no sound in the dark room.

Chen Zhongyuan's mouth opened and closed, and he opened his mouth again, "Mrs. Hong don't have too much hope for the grain stored in the city. ”

"Isn't this the capital? Don't you have any food in stock? Hong Lianshuo asked again hopefully.

"It was also in the hands of the Shi clan, and it was surrounded for a month, and I don't know how many are left." Chen Zhongyuan's messy eyebrows raised and said angrily, like a frosted eggplant, wilting and chirping, "Now that the inner city is heavily guarded, even a fly can't fly in, so we can't get in!" ”

"Outside the city! Isn't there a Zhuangzi of a big family? Hong Lianshuo suddenly remembered and said, "Hu Bing said that he came suddenly, and the people outside the city will definitely not have time to evacuate, so can you expect food?" ”

"Hong Niangzi, we have to escape first!" Chen Zhongyuan said with a wry smile.

"How's this weapon?" Hong Lianshuo's deep starry eyes looked at him and asked.

At the mention of this, Chen Zhongyuan suddenly regained his vitality, "There are a hundred bows and arrows, and there are a thousand arrows." ”

"Not a lot!" Hong Lianshuo's jet-black pupils burst into a smile and said, "How are your archery skills?" Can you walk through Yang in 100 steps? ”

"Uh...... This one...... That ......," Chen Zhongyuan said after a long time, "not very good." ”

Hong Lianshuo said hopelessly, "Can you shoot at the target?" ”

"Of course you can!" Hearing this, Chen Zhongyuan immediately straightened up and said, "Where can I miss the target!" No matter how bad it is, it can't be! ”

"Uh-huh!" The others nodded.

"Okay!" Hong Lianshuo said reluctantly, if you don't miss the target, this hundred steps through Yang can not be practiced in a short time.

"What is the combat effectiveness of the 50,000 defenders left behind?" Hong Lianshuo's dark eyes closed and asked hopelessly.

"Uh...... Most of the soldiers left behind were the children of the scholar clan. Chen Zhongyuan's mouth opened and closed.

"Old man!" Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes directly and snorted coldly.

"Yes!" Chen Zhongyuan said angrily.

"There's no hope for that." Hong Lianshuo said unceremoniously, and then said, "Aren't they dying and struggling?" I was willing to be killed like this. ”

"How can I struggle to be pampered on weekdays, I can't open my bow, I can't ride a horse." Chen Zhongyuan unabashedly counted the landings.

"What about the soldiers, families, and servants of the Shi clan?" Hong Lianshuo asked hopefully, "You should have the strength!" ”

"I have been surrounded for a month, and those who are hungry have no strength, where do they get the strength." Chen Zhongyuan said in great frustration.

I can't ask any more questions, and if I keep asking, I'll die.
