The two were talking about something, and there was a hint of restlessness not far away. The two of them looked over together, only to see several big men surrounding the woman just now.

Li Shengxun and Liujin both frowned in unison.

"What are you going to do?" The woman wailed sharply.

"What are you arguing about? Isn't your child dead?" A big man said angrily.

"My child is not dead, don't talk nonsense."

"See for yourself, can he be so dead?"

"We've taken good care of the team during this time. Now that your child is dead, it's time for you to take care of us." A big man said angrily.

It is said that it is a big man, but in fact, all the ragged clothes are only bones, although they are surrounding the woman, but their eyes have been falling on the dead child, and their eyes are full of ferocity and greed. Chapped lips rub and the Adam's apple rolls up and down.

"You ...... What do you want to do?" The woman was a little frightened, and she subconsciously hugged her child.

"Don't you understand what we're going to do? I haven't eaten for seven days, and I'm going crazy with hunger."

Before, they could still eat a little dry food, but after we finished eating, they could only eat a little wild vegetables, and then they could only gnaw on the bark of grass roots, and now they don't even have grass root bark, and if they continue like this, they can really only eat soil.

"He's a man, how can you eat him?" Someone next to him couldn't look past it and couldn't help but speak.

The woman was even more frightened and angry, "My child is not dead, and with me, no one should try to hurt him."

However, the big men obviously didn't pay attention to the woman, who was not very conscious, and they said to the people around the woman, "Who is it? He's dead now, so think about the living. If we don't eat him, we'll die, do you want to die?"

I don't know if he wants to convince himself or others, at least that's what he thinks, "I just eat a dead person, can that be called cannibalism?" Can a dead person still be a human being?"

"If I don't eat him, how will I live?"

"yes. Don't blame us, if you want to blame him, he didn't have a good baby, and he couldn't be bought by nobles. Can only die here. Give him to us to eat, and it will be of his last use."

"You talk nonsense—" the woman roared like madness.

As soon as Liujin wanted to step forward, her hand was grabbed by Li Sheng's attack, and she couldn't believe it.

"You can't save them, and if you can't save them, how can you stop them from surviving?" Li Shengxi will stay in the present and bring it out of the broken temple.

"But they're going to eat people." Tears welled up in Liujin's eyes, "Your Highness, how can they eat people? Is a cannibal still human? Cannibalism, isn't this giving up the last trace of the bottom line? Even the dead. This is not the case with beasts, let alone men."

I was incoherent and forgot the original title for a while.

Things hurt their kind, and Qiu Ming is also sad. She seemed to have experienced such things as a child, when she curled up in her mother's arms and watched as the men devoured her dead brother.

How to keep her sane in such a situation.

"What is the difference between them and beasts now? Are they any better than beasts? Is this how man should live?" Li Shengsheng asked, the cold phoenix eyes were full of pathos, and under the dashing face was incomparably tormented,

"Cang Liao knows etiquette and knows honor and disgrace when he has enough food and clothing. It's almost impossible to live, why do you ask them to be human beings? Why do you let them keep the last bottom line? In fact, they have already kept the bottom line, and those who eat are eating living people. If they don't eat this child, they will starve to death. If you are in a different place, can you do it without eating this child? You want them to be human beings, and you want them not to eat this dead child, but you are taking away their lives."

If this child were alive, Liujin might be able to say "yes". But the child is dead, and no one can guarantee that he will be able to retain his sanity even when he is hungry and crazy, and the dead man is dead

Now, the living must live, and in such a situation, how can you live without eating people.

"But...... But...... But ......" Rujin opened her mouth, trying to argue something but couldn't say it, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.

She is not an ordinary palace maid, she was raised by the eldest princess and has read books.

Those who have no permanent property but have perseverance are only able to do so. If the people are the people, then there is no permanent production, because there is no perseverance. There is no perseverance, and it is all about repelling evil and extravagance. and to be caught in sin, and then to be punished thereby, is to be reckless. How can there be a benevolent person who can do anything without regard to the people?

She knew she shouldn't blame them because she couldn't give them a better way to survive.

"But now they just eat the dead, and in the long run, who knows if they will eat the living? Freezing three feet, not a day's cold. With such indulgence, sooner or later, they won't even be able to keep the final bottom line." Rujin cried.

"Do you know that Meng Songyan knew about the calamity of trading with Xirong at the beginning, but he didn't stop it?" Li Shengxun suddenly asked.

Liujin frowned, and there seemed to be confusion in his eyes. It's not that she doesn't understand the question Li Shengxing asked, but she doesn't understand why Li Shengxian asked this question.

"Because he doesn't have a better choice. If he had blocked trade at that time, he would have avoided the troubles of the coming days, but he would have hastened the troubles of the near future. If I were Meng Songyan at the beginning, I might not have made the same choice as him. If you can't even solve the immediate needs, then what's the long-term thinking?" Li Shengxun didn't wait for Liujin to answer, Li Shengxun took the lead in saying, her expression was bitter, and her words were endlessly helpless.

"If you just went in and stopped it, it wouldn't be difficult to save the dead child with your skills. But after the blockade, who knows if those people will go crazy and eat the living? There were a lot of old and weak women and children in the ruined temple. You can't save everyone, do you want to kill everyone? Killing people is really not a difficult thing for you. But how innocent are the victims? They just don't want to die.

What you said is not wrong, now they just want to eat the dead, and they may not want to eat the living in the future. But that's also for later, and if you act now, it's tantamount to hastening the coming of the future."

"Then can we just do nothing?" Stay in the present with a crying voice.

Li Shengxun patted her on the back gently, his movements were very gentle, but his words were very cruel. "At least, we can't do anything right now."
