Chapter 174: Torture the Whole Wolf (Second Watch)
While roasting and turning in circles, the bright red meat began to change color, emitting green smoke, and the oil in the wolf meat seeped out at high temperatures, and the sound of burning was sizzling.
After a stick of incense, the smell of barbecue is permeated all around, although there are no various barbecue condiments, but in this mountain forest, the aroma of roasting is still attractive.
Mainly because I don't eat meat for a few days.
Wang Chengen inserted a piece of Chongzhen with a short knife, "Master, let's try it first."
Chongzhen took it and took a bite and thought it tasted very good.
Although it can't be compared with the imperial banquet of the chef in the court, it is definitely a delicacy to be able to eat such crushed meat in this wilderness.
The three of them, with their swords, began to eat roast wolf meat.
Chongzhen also feels that this kind of life is enjoyable, and it is also a pleasure to live a month of court life and come to the wild for a picnic.
I once ate roasted whole sheep, but roasted whole wolf was the first attempt in the world.
This kind of game is delicious to eat, and there is no need to worry about the harm of food additives, let alone the consequences of violating the wildlife protection law.
Chongzhen eats with relish.
Wang Chengen and Han Yin are also full of oil and eat in large chunks.
While eating Wang Chengen and Han Yin joked.
"This beast wanted to eat us, but it didn't want to be our meal."
"If it weren't for His Majesty's miracle to kill the wolf demon, maybe we would have become his meal."
Chongzhen said: "This is the law of forest survival, the law of the jungle."
"What you said is so right, it's just a wise saying." Wang Chengen and Han Yin complimented.
After Han Yin was full, he went to patrol and guard, replacing Yang Wanli to eat.
Soon Yang Wanli was also full, but there was still half a roasted wolf left.
Four people can't eat a roasted whole wolf anyway, this wolf is not counting bones, removing skin, blood and internal organs, pure meat must have sixteen or seventeen catties.
The meat will shrink after being roasted, but it must be more than 12 catties.
On average, one person has three catties of barbecue, and this task is probably not easy to complete in one meal.
Even a big man like Wang Chengen doesn't have such a lot of food.
But this is also easy to do, wrap the roasted meat, eat it on the way, this big forest will have to be taken away in a day, and it is delicious to eat it when you are hungry.
Therefore, they simply roasted the remaining two wolves, shaved the bones, and wrapped them all up when they were cold, and put them on horseback, and ate them as dry food.
There are still wolf corpses everywhere, and they can't control it.
When they're gone, let's get their kind cheaper.
The wolf is more ferocious, and there are no other beasts in the vicinity for more than 100 miles, and they were swept away by this wolf demon with hundreds of wolves.
Now that the wolf demon has been killed, they will fight separately in the future, and so many companions have died, and when they can't find food, they will naturally come to eat their meat.
The four of them walked for another day and a night, sometimes on horseback, sometimes leading horses, and finally came to the hilly area.
Chongzhen knows that you are less than 100 miles away from Zunhua County, and with the change of terrain, sometimes they can get on their horses and gallop for a while.
After 30 miles, we finally reached the plains.
Villages began to appear in the distance, appearing in their field of vision.
Towards noon they flew into the village on horseback.
But the village was as silent as death, there was no one for a long time, there was nothing for chickens, ducks and dogs, broken walls and thatched huts, some of the doors of the residents were hidden, and some had no doors at all.
Chongzhen rushed to the puzzle and ordered Wang Chengen and Han Yin to take a look.
As a result, after searching for a long time, ten rooms and nine emptiness, and finally only found a few white-haired old men and old women, who were brought to Chongzhen with trembling.
After some inquiry, I learned that there had been people here two days ago, wave after wave, even more bandits than bandits, robbing round after round, and all the people in the village who could run had already run out.
The few of them who can't run are left here to die.
Wang Chengen and others
People also thought that it was Tang Tong's people, and after careful interrogation, Chongzhen and they determined that it should be Li Zicheng's people.
Because Zunhua County belongs to Jizhou Prefecture, which is only about 100 miles away from Jizhou, Li Zicheng's army of 200,000 or 300,000 people went out of the capital to the east and passed through the Jizhou area.
The village must have been washed by thieves.
Chongzhen ordered Wang Chengen to give them ten taels of silver each, and when he saw that they hadn't eaten for a few days, their faces were covered with mud, their eyes were dull, and their cheekbones were collapsed, he left them some roast wolf meat.
These old men and old ladies don't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, they grab it and stuff it in their mouths, and they will choke after a while.
Chongzhen saw that they were really hungry.
Much of this is due to the sins of Li Zicheng's thieves!
treated the people of the Ming Dynasty in this way, tortured the old bureaucrats in the capital, and then developed into burglary, and robbed the people like this on the way to the march.
It is no wonder that after the Battle of Shanhaiguan, the Dashun army was defeated in a mess, fighting a battle and losing a battle, and it could not stand anywhere, and finally the leader of the peasant uprising was beaten to death by the peasants with a hoe.
In fact, such a tragedy has been brewed a long time ago.
The reason why Li Zicheng was able to prosper in Henan was all due to the support of the people, from the establishment of the Dashun regime to the overthrow of the rule of the Ming Dynasty, without the support of the people, he could not have gone so far.
However, after entering Beijing, Li Zicheng forgot his roots, ignored the support of the common people, and was even opposed by the common people, and defeat on the battlefield was inevitable.
Under the wolfing and puzzled gazes of these old men and old ladies, the four of Chongzhen Junchen left the village......
