Chapter 668: The Gate Is Sealed
The man captured by the Great Black was pushed into the iron gate, and the iron door slowly closed.
The people inside, crowded in the doorway one by one, with anger or despair on their faces, tried to rush out, but as soon as anyone came forward, they were greeted with a whip and broke their heads.
"Once this door is closed, this will be our grave! Don't be afraid, everyone rush out together, as long as you rush out, you will have a way to live! ”
"Even if we can't survive, we will disturb Shengjing!"
"They didn't look at us like human beings with their arms! Let's fight them! ”
Seeing that the gate was about to be closed, a leader raised his arms and shouted, taking the lead in rushing out, and the commander of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, who was closely guarding the side, saw that the situation was about to be chaotic, and immediately came down, and whoever rushed forward again would be beheaded immediately.
There were three or five leaders, and as soon as they crossed the iron gate, the next moment their heads rolled to the ground.
Blood splattered everywhere, and most of the people in the Shannian Camp were some old and weak women and children, and they were so frightened that they retreated again and again at this moment.
Several bodies were thrown into crematoriums, and the fire burned even more. Under the firelight, the heavy iron door slowly closed, and there was no anger or despair in their eyes, only dead silence.
At this time, something fell in the sky, I thought it was ashes, but I reached out and took a piece, but it was snowflakes.
When I looked up again, there was no moon hanging high, but instead there were rolling dark clouds.
"It's snowing." Xue Changfeng was silent for a moment and asked, "It's getting colder and colder, can they survive this winter?" ”
Zhou Lihuai sighed, "Shannian has given birth to an epidemic, but the emperor has not treated the hospital or come up with a prescription, is it already obvious that his attitude is obvious." Death from starvation, freezing to death, and death from disease are nothing more than one of three. ”
"Can there be hundreds of people alive......"
"In the eyes of the imperial court, these hundreds of people are probably inferior to ants."
The iron door was closed, as if the entrance to hell was closed, and when they turned back, they saw the lights of Shengjing and thousands of homes, peaceful and prosperous.
As they walked out, the brighter the lights became, and the farther away they were from the miserable wails of the Camp of Good Thoughts. When he walked down the long street, the Zen Camp also disappeared from view, as if he had really sunk into hell.
And the snow also hides the dirt, as long as you don't dig deeper, you won't find that it's dirty underneath.
Liu Yunxiang thought of something, looked at Zhou Lihuai and asked, "The young man on the street just now suddenly foamed at the mouth and died of convulsions, is it really an epidemic?" ”
Zhou Lihuai tilted his head and said with a smile: "Didn't the court say that it was an epidemic. ”
"But this epidemic came by coincidence."
"It's like dysentery, but it is more common in summer and autumn, but rare in winter. It's not that it's very difficult to treat, but so many people need to be properly settled, need clean food, and need a lot of medicinal herbs, and the court is overwhelmed, so they simply don't care. ”
Liu Yunxiang still thinks it's too coincidental, but it's just a suspicion.
"If it's an epidemic, then these soldiers are stationed outside, and some soldiers have contact with the people inside, but none of them are infected." Yan Du said.
"Although dysentery is an epidemic, as long as you wash your hands frequently and eat cleanly, you are not easy to be infected." Zhou Lihuai said.
Yan Duan just said it casually, and Zhou Lihuai explained it like this, so he didn't think much about it.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier, Xue Changfeng hugged his shoulders and shrunk a little, "Anyway, the night is long, it's not interesting to go home, the wine shop in front is still open, let's go inside and have a few drinks to help the fun?" ”
Yan Du pulled Liu Yunxiang over, warmed her somewhat cold hands, and the corners of her mouth tugged slightly: "The night is long, what's the point of drinking, why don't you spend more time with my lady." ”
Liu Yunxiang's face turned red and leaned into Yan Dui's arms.
Seeing them like this, Xue Changfeng said angrily: "Who doesn't have a lady, what are you proud of!" ”
Yan Du snorted, "You don't have it." ”
"I ...... I'm not bothered by women! ”
"So the night is long, and you can only borrow wine to pass the loneliness."
After speaking, Yan Duan ignored Xue Changfeng, who was so angry that he wanted to jump to his feet, and pulled Liu Yunxiang to leave first.
"I have a daughter-in-law and forget my brother, it's really unrighteous!" Xue Changfeng shouted at Yan Dui's back, and turned his head to look at Zhou Lihuai, "Brother Zhou, let's go, let's drink." ”
Zhou Lihuai smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Xue, I have to go home too, my daughter-in-law is still in confinement, as a husband, I can't stay home during the day, and go back at night with a drunken voice, it's not good." ”
As he spoke, Zhou Lihuai saluted Xue Changfeng with his fists, and hurriedly turned around and slipped away.
With heavy snow and empty streets, he was alone, and Xue Changfeng couldn't help but feel sad.
"I also want to marry a daughter-in-law and have a family."
The matter of the small bolt has to be loosened by Xue Hefeng.
In the next few days, Xue Hefeng did not go to the court or leave the house on the grounds of illness, and Xue Changfeng came to the door, so he sent him away on the grounds that he was seriously ill and inconvenient to see guests.
Seeing that Xiao Bolt's case was about to be judged, it had not been a few days, and Liu Yunxiang couldn't help but be anxious.
At this day's ration shop, Liu Yunxiang passed early in the morning, and when she saw the old prince sitting inside, and when she saw her coming in and smiling at her, she had a premonition that she was going to suffer again.
"I'm going to ask for another hundred stone this time." The old prince got straight to the point.
Liu Yunxiang smiled: "Food, we have a lot of food, you just need to prepare the silver." ”
"I am a dignified prince with a strong net worth, so I am naturally not short of silver." As he spoke, the old man took out a very old money bag from his patched sleeve pocket and threw it on the table.
Liu Yunxiang only glanced at it, and he didn't need to count, "You counted wrong, it's not enough." ”
The old prince's eyes widened, "You count it, it's enough." ”
Liu Yunxiang clasped his hands together and said with a faint smile: "It's not enough." ”
The old prince smashed his mouth, "Our family, the account can't be counted too clear, or according to the price of the last time, a hundred dollars a stone." ”
"At present, the price of food has risen to one hundred and sixty yuan, since you always say that it is a family, I also have to remember the affection of the family, then one hundred and fifty yuan."
"My affection is worth ten dollars?"
"No matter how much I want, I want to cut off this affection with you."
The corners of the old man's mouth twitched, "The imperial court sealed the Shannian Camp, and it was still given a meal at noon, but I only found out yesterday that the porridge was so thin and bright, and the small bite of the steamed bun could be put in, and the people inside were so hungry that they screamed." I stepped forward and looked through the square opening, and the scene inside was really ...... It's really miserable, starvation layer upon layer! ”
"I just thought that even if I gave them one more steamed bun every day, I might be able to save a few more people."
"Niece and granddaughter-in-law, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I still ask a few old guys for this money, and I want to be so cheeky."
Liu Yunxiang was silent and said, "You are dignified and peaceful King Qin......
"If you don't have money or power, you don't have a title."
Seeing the old man rubbing his hands, how could he still be arrogant when they met for the first time, Liu Yunxiang sighed.
"Okay, a hundred dollars is a hundred dollars, but this hundred stones can't be relieved for a few days, and you will come back at this price in the future, but I can't always lose money."
The old prince nodded in understanding, "Then what do you want?" ”
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "Then please write me an IOU." ”
