Chapter 887: Misery in the City
The little girl was so frightened that she kept crying, but the man burst into laughter.
The boss went up again, and the man drew his knife and put it at his neck.
"Want to die?"
Seeing this scene, Zijin was so angry that he drew his knife, "Girl, the slave went to slaughter those bastards!" ”
Zijin said that she was going to step forward, but Liu Yunxiang hurriedly grabbed her.
"Girl!"
Liu Yunxiang shushed at her, "Someone is coming." ”
A group of horsemen came from the west, all in armor, led by a bearded-looking man who took the reins and stopped in front of the wine shop.
When several people saw the man, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "General Mo." ”
This General Mo stared at the man in front, and under his gaze, the man swallowed his saliva and quietly let go of the girl. The little girl cried and went to help her father up, and the father and daughter trembled with fear.
"To defend Yangguan in wartime, do you not know or ignore military discipline in vain?" This General Mo spoke, his voice cold.
The leading man hurriedly knelt down, "Subordinate...... The subordinates drank too much and asked the general for forgiveness. ”
"Someone, tie him up, and take him back to be punished!"
"General, spare your life!" The man kowtowed in a panic.
Several other people also sobered up and helped the man intercede.
But General Mo ignored this, and continued to walk forward on horseback.
The man collapsed to the ground with fright, and two soldiers tied him up, dragged him to his horse, and took him away.
Soon the night was quiet again, and the father and daughter of the wine shop hurriedly hid back.
"The slave maid thought that the Southern Jin Dynasty people drove the men out of the city, leaving only the women, Xu is ......" Zijin coughed dryly, "But the slave and maid thought wrong." ”
Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "You can't just look at the surface, but the military discipline of the Southern Jin Dynasty is indeed quite strict." ”
"If the Southern Jin Dynasty can rise in a short period of time and have the momentum to sweep across the Central Plains Continent, their army will not be bad." Yan Du said.
"Indeed."
Outside the city before, they fought with some Southern Jin Dynasty soldiers who were chasing the displaced people, they were not only physically strong, but also had good martial arts, such people were naturally much stronger than some of Darong's indiscriminate combat effectiveness.
They walked a little deeper into the alley, and saw that the door of a private house had been broken, and the yard was in a mess, and there should be no one to live there. The three of them thought about resting here for the night and making plans for tomorrow.
Zijin walked ahead, stepped on something, looked down and took a closer look, and couldn't help but gasp.
"A corpse!"
Yan Du took out the fire fold and took a picture on the ground, it was the body of a man, about forty years old, who had been killed by a knife. They walked a few more steps inside, and saw the body of a woman in front of the house, and then went inside, and saw the bodies of two children in the hall.
A family of four, all killed.
Yan Dui's brows furrowed deeply, "How many people's doors have been broken, and how many such miserable scenes." ”
Darong is weak, and the people are the most miserable.
It was sweltering to the south, and the four bodies were already decomposing. They dug a pit in the courtyard and buried the family of four.
That night, Liu Yunxiang leaned on Yan Dusk, and the two sat on the steps in front of the house.
The bright moon was hanging high, which should have been a beautiful scenery, but in their eyes, it was cold.
"If we don't give up an inch of land, if we really fight with the Southern Jin Dynasty, what will we do at that time?" Liu Yunxiang thought of the people under the dead city, they were already so miserable, if they were to lose the country......
She didn't dare to think about it.
"Think about what to do so much, and the fight will be over." Yan Du said.
"You didn't think you'd lose?"
"What if we lose, at least we didn't be shrunken turtles."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, she hugged Yan Dui's arm, knowing that his heart was not as relaxed as it was.
The next day, there was a movement at the door, and Zijin asked them what they were going to do.
The other door looked at Zijin and was a little surprised, "Are you?" ”
"We escaped from Xicheng and settled here for the time being."
The woman at the door was puzzled: "Don't you know that there is a porridge shed in front of the Yuanchang medicinal herbs?" ”
"Porridge shed?"
"Yes, after the Southern Jin Dynasty invaded Ling'an, the city gate was closed, and those who had surplus food at home could hold out for a while, but soon there would be no food. Everyone is starving, how many people are starving to death in a day. The boss of the Yuanchang Pharmacy is our local great benevolent person, he took out the medicinal materials stored in the medicine store and exchanged them for food with the people of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and then gave porridge to everyone in the medicinal herb store every morning and evening. ”
The woman said and hurried out, "It's too late, but it's not there." ”
The woman had just run two steps when a lame man chased after her.
"You stay at home, I'll go!"
"Go back quickly, if you don't raise that leg well, you will really become lame in the future!"
"You came back, didn't you hear that there are always women missing these days?"
"The missing ones are all good-looking, my half-old, and they don't look down on them."
Despite her husband's dissuasion, the woman ran away.
Liu Yunxiang came out of the courtyard and asked the lame man, "Big brother, what's the matter with your leg?" ”
The man looked at them a few times before he said, "Yesterday, when I went to the porridge shed, I was kicked because I bumped into a person from the Southern Jin Dynasty." The Southern Jin Dynasty had a lot of courage and kicked me and broke my bones, but fortunately, the doctor of Yuanchang Pharmacy gave me medicine and fixed it with a wooden board. ”
"So, what did you say about the disappearance of a woman in the city?"
The man hurriedly looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered: "You three girls' house, it's best to go to the street less, the missing woman is estimated to have been arrested by the Southern Jin Dynasty." ”
"What are the Southern Jin Dynasty people doing when they arrest these women?"
"Who knows." The man paused again and said, "After the Southern Jin Dynasty people entered the city, the men secretly plotted a riot because they were humiliated, and of course they were suppressed. The Southern Jin Dynasty had a premonition that it was not safe for the men to stay in the city, so they grabbed the men on the street, and when they caught them, they either killed them or drove them out of the city. Slowly, there were fewer and fewer men in the city, and the rest were women. And if the woman escaped from the city, they would send someone to chase her, so laboriously, but for some reason. ”
When the man said this, he saw that there were Southern Jin people patrolling the streets, so he hurriedly returned to his home and quickly locked it.
Liu Yunxiang asked Zijin to go to the kitchen to find three bowls, "Let's go, let's go to the street and have a look." ”
When the three of them came into the street, they saw many people coming out of their homes and running into the city with bowls. There were patrolling Southern Jin people on the streets, and the people walked around when they saw them.
Before coming to the Yuanchang Medicine Store, the people who received the porridge had already lined up in a long line, and the three of them also lined up.
Everyone was orderly and lined up, but everyone lowered their heads and no one spoke.
At this time, a man ran towards this side in a hurry, and he looked over one by one, his face becoming more and more ugly.
"Sanniang? Sanniang? ”
He shouted and searched, and the whole person became more and more collapsed.
"My lady is gone! She's gone! ”
He asked the people in line, and they looked sympathetic, but they all shook their heads.
Some people also persuaded the man to let him go home quickly and not to cause trouble.
At this time, a patrolling Southern Jin Dynasty man heard the movement and came over, and the man gritted his teeth and ran up, "Where is my lady?" Where did you catch her? Give her back to me! ”
The man shouted like crazy, and the Southern Jin soldiers pushed him away, and he stepped forward.
The leader's face sank, and he slashed the knife at the moment.
