Chapter 6 Demagogy
The homeless people were hungry and walked slowly, and it wasn't long before they heard the sound of drag behind them again.
The linen rubbed against the ground under the pressure of the weight, and the ice and snow that had not yet melted were crushed and deformed, making a clattering and cracking sound.
So who will survive?
……
"Don't look back!"
A middle-aged man with gray temples grabbed his son who was about to look back next to him and scolded in a low voice.
"Daddy......"
The son was stunned and a little unwilling.
"Do you want to kill our family?!"
The voice squeezed out between the middle-aged father's teeth, but before he could finish speaking, he heard an exclamation full of fear from the side.
Apparently, someone turned back.
There is one and there is two, and the afterglow of watching comes one after another, but the owners of these eyes are shocked by the scene in front of them.
The owner of the package did not change, he still killed the pig knife in one hand and dragged the package with the other, but it was ......
In addition to a waist knife on the man's waist, there were four bloody heads, and scarlet blood dripped on the snow, dyeing the clean white ground with bewitching plum blossoms.
The hideous face was dead, and a pair of blood-red pupils were dilated, as if they were still a little frightened and confused, as if they had not yet figured out why they died so miserably.
With inventory in his stomach, Meng Ke walked with gusto, and quickly walked past the group of people and walked towards the front of the line.
Everywhere they passed, everyone avoided it, and they didn't even dare to say a word.
Now, not to mention the snooping eyes of salivating food, he didn't even dare to look at him with ordinary eyes, for fear of being misunderstood, and becoming the 'meritorious' of the other party's waist.
……
Exiles: Those who are hungry or who have migrated to avoid the army are called exiles, which means exiles.
They are all hard-working people who have left their homes in order to survive.
In the memory of Meng Ke's body, 'he' came out of the valley in northern Shaanxi and went all the way to the south, looking for a place to live.
Pity......
After passing through Jiazhou and Suidezhou, there is no stable place.
Seeing that he was about to arrive in Yan'an, he could take a breath, but he was forced by the rebel army under Gao Yingxiang of Ansai to bypass Yanchuan County.
Along the way, the ranks of displaced people have grown stronger and stronger, but fortunately, the most basic framework structure is still retained.
Everyone is a villager from the village, the township, and the county, and they gather together, and they don't know each other's roots, and they report to the group for warmth, but they are also of the same origin and can take care of one or two.
"Poof!"
Yin Yin's bloodstained pig-killing knife was swung out and pierced deep into the snow.
Meng Ke put down his burden, turned around and clasped his fists at the people behind him: "Fathers, stop!" Listen to a certain family! ”
His voice was not loud, but the four heads dangling from his waist were enough to make all the homeless people around him stop.
Many of the homeless people were timid and fearful, and even began to quietly move their steps to hide in the woods.
However......
"That brother, is it because someone's voice is not loud enough?"
His cheeks hadn't been cleaned for a long time, and he couldn't see the specific face clearly, only those bright eyes, and a touch of fierceness flashed in his eyes.
"Loud enough, loud enough!"
The man replied in a sneering manner, timidly moving back to his place.
"A certain Fugu County - Meng Ke! Like all fathers and elders, they are all forced by natural disasters and corrupt officials to leave their hometowns. In order to survive, he has stayed away from the countryside and given up his acres, just to find a place to live. ”
Meng Ke was stunned, looked around with both eyes, and a fierce light appeared in his eyes: "But now, these four people want to take away my rations and cut off my way of life." If you change places, this matter is put on you, can you bear it? ”
Without waiting for the people around him to answer, he replied to himself:
"As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food. You can all testify that this is the way for them to die, and they can't blame me! ”
“......”
There was a moment of silence around, and finally someone responded.
"These bastards have done this kind of thing, they deserve to die!"
"I know these four! When he was in the township, he did all kinds of evil, helping the landlord to bully the tenants......"
……
There were unsuspecting reckless men in the rear, and when they saw that the team was stagnant, they stepped forward and rebuked angrily: "Damn, such a wide road can be blocked? Do you walk with your cheeks? ”
The voice fell, the scene was deadlocked, and the atmosphere was a little tense.
The displaced people around them all turned their attention to the reckless man, but instead of indignation and fear, they ......
Wretched?
Damn, look at Russia like this again, Russia will hammer you to death!
The crowd dispersed like a tidal wave, making way for a narrow aisle.
The reckless man thought that he was making way for himself, and he wanted to raise his feet at the moment.
Who knows, there is someone on the other end who is faster than him.
Who is it?
Anger stiffened on his face, and he subconsciously looked at it, and saw the figure that was not majestic...... and the four heads around his waist.
"Bang!"
Looking at the waist knife close to his waist and abdomen, the reckless man retreated again and again, and he fell on the snow carelessly, scared into a cold sweat.
......
"How can a family that is not a murderous bandit kill in anger? Fathers and elders are either from the same county as a certain family, or friends and neighbors with a strip of water, so you don't need to be like this brother......"
Meng Ke said, patting the reckless man on the shoulder and motioning for him to get up.
The latter shuddered, involuntarily moved his chuckles, took a few steps back, and distanced himself from him.
Meng Ke smiled warmly, and did not dwell too much on this issue, and continued the previous topic: "I stop you, first, I ask you to be a witness, these four dogs are looking for their own death, and they have nothing to do with me!" The second is ......"
“…… For the sake of our fellow villagers, I advise you to say a word! ”
He looked around, his eyes narrowed, and he used the knife at his waist to pick open the package on the ground, revealing what was inside.
That's meat!
Although it was dismembered, there are horse heads and hooves to testify, and it can still be seen that it is horse meat.
How precious are horses? Not to mention during the cataclysm.
Everyone swallowed and stared.
"Yesterday I met a court messenger who was attacked and killed by bandits and was on the verge of death. As the saying goes: people are about to die, and their words are good!
When he was dying, he said to so-and-so: 'Don't go any further south!' ’
Why did we leave our homeland?
Natural disasters too!
But according to what he said, not to mention northern Shaanxi, it is the whole of Shaanxi and the entire Ming Dynasty, all of which are full of natural disasters, and there is no place for anyone to stand.
Besides, there are groups of rioters and bandits ahead, and if I wait for it, it will be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger! ”
Some people turn a deaf ear and focus only on the meat.
But no matter how long you look at it, the meat still doesn't belong to him, and this is short-sighted!
Some people listened to Meng Ke's words, raised their heads and looked at the south sadly.
"This world ...... Is it really going to be messed up? ”
They were really scared!
Although these people cannot be said to be long-term, they already have the ability to think for themselves.
Meng Ke took this scene into his eyes and nodded secretly.
If you want to coerce these people to do great things together, you should tempt the former with benefits, and impress the latter with bright prospects and lofty aspirations.
To put it simply, it is money in one hand and bread in the other.
