Chapter 174: I can't swallow it

While everyone in the Colosseum was busy working, Shu Yungui took a bag of fried peas and a basket of black bread on their kitchen stove.

By the time he arrived at the stone house again, the bell tower had already struck four times, and it was four o'clock in the afternoon, and for the people from the outer city who worked from the beginning to the sun and rested at sunset, it was normal for dinner to be eaten at this time, but the shortest of the infiltrators in the stone house had not eaten for a day and a night.

Shu Yungui handed the beans and brown bread into a branch, the amount was obviously not enough, and everyone could only get a small piece of bread and a little fried peas that could not cover the palm of their hand, and they could only barely guarantee that they would not starve to death.

There was no time to say anything more to them, and as soon as the food was delivered, the patrol pressed the newly captured infiltrators over.

Shu Yungui hurriedly hid in a hidden place, and heard the officer who took the lead wake up the dozing guard and scolded him: "You know how to sleep all day long, are you invited to sleep with ten catties of beans every month?!"

The guard touched the belly of the hungry flat, thinking to himself where he could eat ten catties of beans a month, and if he couldn't eat enough, of course he had to rely on sleeping to save his strength.

But of course, he didn't dare to say such a thing on his face, so he hurriedly took the key respectfully and opened the door of the stone house for the patrol.

The officer frowned and covered his mouth and nose, and waved his hand at his subordinates, motioning for them to send the newly caught infiltrator in and lock him up.

"Let go of me! Let go of me!"

The infiltrator who was tied up by the five flowers struggled, but he didn't know how to twist the rope, rushed out a few steps and was held down by the patrol, the whole person fell into the mud, a group of people fought with him, but no one was his opponent, he broke free.

"Didn't you say that the outer city is the last line of defense for humanity?! Didn't you say it would bless everyone?! Why are you arresting me? Why are you locking me up?!"

Covered in mud, he threw himself at the officer, clasping his legs and shouting, "You are doing this against the will of the king!"

The officer kicked his leg in disgust, and when he saw that he could not get rid of him, he whipped the man down, and let his subordinates rush to re-tie him up and stuff him into a wooden cage.

"The outer city will only bless those who belong to the outer city, and you outcasts from the wilderness do not belong to the outer city, understand?!"

The officer said viciously: "You people should be a little self-aware, don't always think that we can become people from the outer city by climbing over the city wall, can we become people from the inner city by climbing the inner city wall?" The distinction between men and men is divided the moment the walls are erected."

He cursed, "The stupid pig from the wilderness, who stained my military pants, will be the first to send you to the Colosseum tomorrow, and I will watch your performance carefully."

The frightened infiltrator was carried in a wooden cage, screaming and screaming that someone in the patrol would find out and let him out.

"You'd better save some effort."

Someone in the stone house advised him, "If you shout like this, you will be hungry until you collapse at night."

"Let him shout, didn't we shout hoarsely when we were brought in? It's all like this, if you don't shout now, you won't be able to shout tomorrow."

This is a truth, who doesn't want to live, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, they must fight for themselves.

So, some of the people in the stone house shouted along, and the officer frowned impatiently, and shouted, "Close the door!"

The subordinate withdrew, pulled the knocker and was about to close the door, but the sharp-eyed officer had a blank look in his eyes, turned over and dismounted, and kicked the door open.

In the stone house, which was mixed with various smells, he frowned and grabbed the child's hand that was stretched out of the wooden cage, and broke the child's palm under the frightened eyes of his parents, and a piece of bitten black bread fell to the ground.

The food was robbed, the child cried loudly, but the officer's face changed.

"Why is there food here?! Who gave them food?!"

The people in the outer city must be unanimous to the outside world, otherwise everyone will send kindness to help a few infiltrators, so how can there be order in the outer city, won't it soon be occupied by the infiltrators?!

He can't tolerate someone eating inside and out, elbowing outward, secretly providing food to these stupid pigs!

"It's a waste! severe

Waste!"

The officer was furious and shouted, "Check it out now! Where the hell does so much food come from! If we can't find it, from tomorrow onwards, the monthly supply share of all households in the city will be halved!"

At the sound of an order, almost the entire patrol team was dispatched, and the stone house was quickly surrounded, and Shu Yungui could no longer get close, so he could only leave temporarily.

I have to admit that this officer is a man who does what he says and does what he does, and if it were in peacetime, he might have been a good policeman or soldier, but here, his wisdom and martial arts seem to be in the wrong place.

Shu Yungui returned home one step ahead of Zhan Jin, the mason, and Mrs. Zhan Jin heard that there was a search for infiltrators everywhere outside, and he had not returned for a long time, so she kept looking at the street with worry, and when she saw Shu Yungui appear at the end of the long street, she immediately greeted him.

"Oops, you're finally back."

Mrs. Jenkin asked him with concern, "Did you meet a patrol on the road?"

"No, there is a shortage of people moving goods in the grain store, so I helped when I passed by."

"Huh? Is it the grain store on the other side of the Colosseum? That boss has a big temper, and every time the old man goes to him to buy beans, he has to quarrel, and you haven't been embarrassed by him?"

Shu Yungui handed a small bag of minced meat to Mrs. Jenkin, and said with a smile, "No, I moved a lot of goods, and the boss said to use this to pay me for my work."

The price of livestock meat in the outer city is sky-high, and it is not too much to describe the price of meat as the energy price in the Hope Star Field, and the Jenkins have not eaten meat since they entered the outer city, and they thought they were dazzled when they saw the meat filling.

"Oh my God, he's willing to give you minced meat so generously, these can be exchanged for a dozen pieces of fabric."

Shu Yungui smiled lightly and didn't make a sound, thinking that anyway, for Harvey, such a little meat filling was not enough for him to eat a meal, so it was better to do good deeds to replenish the body of the Jenkin couple.

For the first time in ten years, the smell of meat came from the old wooden house, and Shu Yungui was lying in the attic, when he heard a knock on the door from next door and asked Mrs. Jenkin what a good day it was, and Mrs. Jenkin used her wedding anniversary to prevaricate.

Soon Jenkin the mason returned home, his face was covered with muddy water, but he was attracted by the smell of meat, and he didn't bother to wash it, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Isn't this our last supper?"

"What nonsense? You have to thank the young man upstairs, it's his reward for a hard day."

Jen Jin, the mason, glanced at the attic suspiciously, but was finally bought by the smell of meat, and he didn't bother to ask Shu Yungui how he got the meat filling.

With meat, tonight's dinner is baked peas with meat filling, beans with a meat flavor are much better than boiled in plain water, but Shu Yungui looked at the food on the plate and was distracted.

He was thinking about the people who were locked up in the stone house, and Kony had only eaten a handful of beans in two days, and he saw Kony give the black bread to the child in the cage next to him, but the child was beaten to the ground by the officer after only two bites.

They may have lived better without entering the outer city and staying in the wilderness, but they were deceived by those declarations of refuge and risked their lives to climb over the wall to get in, and the end was even more miserable.

"What's wrong? Am I not making it delicious?"

Mrs. Jenkin looked at him and blamed herself, "I'm sorry, I haven't handled meat for a long time, and it may not be delicious......

Shu Yungui hurriedly scooped a big mouthful into his mouth, gave a thumbs up and said, "It's very delicious, really, I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time!"

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Jenkin looked at her husband hesitantly, and asked him worriedly, "Do you have something on your mind? Can you tell us about it? We may not be able to help you much when we're older, but it may be much better to say what is in our hearts."

Shu Yungui's hand scooping food stopped, he looked at Mrs. Jenkin, and finally spoke in the encouraging eyes of the other party.

"I...... I have some friends who were caught by the patrol and locked up in stone houses, pitiful and haven't eaten for a long time, I think...... Go and save them."

Jenkin, the mason, asked, "Is it the stone house next to the bell tower?"

Shu Yungui nodded, and then Mrs. Jenkin covered her heart and said in surprise, "Oh, everyone who was imprisoned there

It's going to be sent to the Colosseum, it's too dangerous!"

"No wonder you've been circling around the Colosseum today, you don't want to go to the Colosseum to save people, right?"

Jenkin, the mason, carefully tore off a piece of black bread, wiped the meat sauce off the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "Young man, listen to my advice, the Colosseum is not something that ordinary people like us can approach, and if the infiltrator is sent there, there will be no return, so you better protect yourself."

"yes, yes, no one is stupid enough to go against the Colosseum, their Harvey boss is a ruthless, murderous character, by the way, I heard that he still has guns, more guns than patrols, you can't save people right under his nose."

Mrs. Jenkin took his hand and advised, "Although those friends of yours are really pitiful, if you go to save them, you will end up like them, and be sent into a cage to feed those orcs, we have seen them, and they like to eat live things the most."

Knowing whether it was to scare him or if it was true, Jenkin the Mason chimed in, "That's right, the orcs will tear up all the living creatures they catch and bleed them, and then swallow them whole, and your bones will be crushed by it!"

As if thinking of something, Jenkin, the mason, suddenly said, "Ah, by the way, didn't there be a person who also wanted to save his companion a few years ago, and he went to Boss Harvey to intercede, but Boss Harvey asked him to challenge the orcs, and as long as he succeeded three times, he would let his companion go."

What else is going on? Shu Yungui immediately asked, "What is the final result?"

"The result? Of course, I didn't hold it once, and I heard that as soon as the man was put into the cage of the fighting beast, he was eaten by the orc with his chest and abdomen."

As is customary, Jengin the Mason picked up his pipe and said, "Even though the man died, that show against the orcs made Harvey a lot of money, so whether you go to save people or not, the winner will always be the Colosseum, not us civilians."

He took a puff of his pipe, but the pipe that had always been empty was filled with tobacco at some point, and he was almost stunned when he took a puff, and looked at Mrs. Jenkin with his pipe, "What's going on?"

Mrs. Zhan Jin said that she didn't know, and the two looked at Shu Yungui together, and Shu Yungui didn't leave the table at any time, and Gu Zi went upstairs.
