Chapter 67: The Door Closes
It is said that the previous name of this Han King was Liu Ermao, and later because this name was really cheesy, he gave himself a single word, Liu Han.
If they enter the city, they will be arrested, if they don't enter, their dry food and water will all be consumed, and where the birds don't, they can only sit and wait to starve to death.
Shu Yan glanced at his godsons, and sighed helplessly: "You can't hang people up again, let's go to the city to find out the news."
Shu Yan looked at a few men carefully, she said to Bai Guichen: "You and Yun Zhong stay outside the city, find a place to hide, so that you can watch this girl and the two children, I will go with the two of them to see the situation, if something happens in the city, you quickly take people away." ”
Bai Guichen nodded.
After Shu Yan gave the order, he walked into the city with the other two.
This Fenyang City is very large, but it is very dilapidated, and the buildings are all made of loess, and occasionally there are some blue brick houses, which are particularly eye-catching in the buildings.
There were not many people along the way, only to see many hungry skinny and bony people squatting on the side of the road, seeing Shu Yan and others, they seemed to be looking for something, but when they saw Zhang Shengzi's exaggerated height and fierce dress, they immediately lowered their heads in fright.
Cheng San said to Shu Yan who walked very slowly: "Godmother, no, I'll carry you on my back, I'm afraid that your feet will be wasted." ”
Shu Yan had no choice but to jump on Cheng San's back, this kid looked thin, but his body was strong.
Cheng San said: "Godmother, how can I look at the lifeless people in this city, it looks like I'm about to starve to death." ”
As soon as the words fell, they saw the shepherd in front of a blue-brick building.
The shepherd hurried the two-legged sheep behind him into the livestock shed behind the green bricks, and then Shu Yan saw the picture he least wanted to see.
In the dark shed, there were several two-legged sheep hanging, the picture Shu Yan couldn't describe, she only felt that she saw the pig killing stall, but it was a person hanging on it.
Shu Yan suddenly vomited to the side.
Cheng San looked at Shu Yan and said with a smile: "Godmother, is this an old clam giving birth to pearls?" ”
Shu Yan stretched out his hand and twisted Cheng San's ears, and then said viciously: "You are a rebel." ”
A few people walked forward quickly, but saw a man rushing here with a money bag, obviously to buy meat, Shu Yan couldn't help but ask: "This eldest sister, is there nothing else to eat here?" ”
When the man saw the appearance of Shu Yan and the others as foreigners, he spoke: "There is no place to sell grain in the city, if you want to live, you can only eat these." ”
The man was as thin as a skeleton, and he wasn't in good spirits.
Cheng San continued to ask, "Then why do you still wear sheep's clothing?" What kind of ritual is this? ”
The man could only sigh after hearing this, and he said faintly: "General Sun said that there are people in the city, so everyone thought of a way to put sheepskin on people, and then they are not people." ”
When Shu Yan heard this, he was about to cramp when he was hungry, but he instantly felt nauseous and wanted to vomit.
But when you think about it, people have to eat if they live, and the grain road is cut off here, and they don't farm themselves, how can they have food, so in order to live, they can't eat people.
Man: "I'm not telling you, I went to buy meat, and when it's late, there's nothing." ”
Shu Yan's mood was a little heavy, and she patted Cheng San on the shoulder.
"Do you think that this General Sun is a little covered? Where do we go to find dry food? “
Cheng San pointed to the place and said very badly: "Isn't this ready-made?" ”
Shu Yan was suddenly helpless.
"Don't joke with me, stinking boy, let's take a look at it."
There are more than 100,000 people living in this Fenyang City, and there is always a place to sell food, and they also have to go deeper and inquire about the so-called General Sun, who is it.
They walked towards the city, it seemed that they had left the edge of the city, their economic situation was better, and most of the houses on the street were made of green bricks, but Shu Yan and the others couldn't see a single open shop on the street, and each of them had locked courtyard doors, which looked like ghost towns.
Cheng San knocked around, but no one opened the door at all.
Cheng San touched his chin and said, "It must be a rich family in the city, and he is afraid of being robbed and robbed, so he closes the city gate." ”
Shu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Is the security in this city so poor? So how did General Sun become a family? “
Several people's legs were about to break, and they couldn't find a door to open.
In the end, Zhang Shengzi really had no patience, so he found a house on the side of the street, kicked the door open, and in an instant, two big men came out from behind the door, still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, and slashed towards Zhang Shengzi's front door.
The big man hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, and several women and children ran out of the house, knelt directly on the ground and cried begging Zhang Shengzi to spare his life.
Zhang Shengzi didn't speak, just turned to look at Shu Yan.
Shu Yan was suddenly helpless, okay, he did something wrong and began to look for her to clean up, Shu Yan hurriedly got down from Cheng San and did not approach.
"Several, the old body is really helpless, the door in this city is closed, and the old woman and I are injured again, I just want to borrow some food and ask for some water."
When the two men heard this, their faces suddenly became ugly.
Everyone has nothing to eat, and if they lend food at will, they will have to wait for death.
Shu Yan saw the expressions of the two, and suddenly felt a little relieved.
"If it's not convenient, can you tell us where we can borrow food?"
The man sneered: "Fenyang is a big city, and it is to this point that it is all to blame for the general of the descendants of Raush, if you go to Sun's house to borrow grain, you will definitely be able to borrow it." ”
When Shu Yan heard this, she felt that this guy had some personal grievances, so she continued to ask: "Then General Sun is the general under the Han King?" ”
When the man heard King Han, his face was also very disdainful.
"King Han? That's also a Yama ghost, General Sun was originally the son-in-law of a big family in the city, he knew some martial arts, the Han King became a general under his account when he got up, and then the Han army was powerful, Xu was disgusted with his thoughts, so he let him join the army, who knew that he ran back directly from his fiefdom, and united his old department and his wife's family to occupy this Fenyang City. ”
Cheng San asked with some curiosity when he heard this, "Didn't the King of Han send troops to get him?" ”
After hearing Cheng San's words, the man immediately sighed.
"Now that the Central Plains has become a mess, the old troops left by the King of Han have fled against each other, and there is also a force of soldiers who call themselves the King of Xiliang, who has the kung fu to take care of him."
The old woman spoke, "I heard that a general surnamed Wang is coming here to fight, and I am afraid that we will besiege the city again, and our family will not have enough food to eat." “
