Chapter 331: Diary of an Exile

In fact, even if they don't disguise themselves, Jiang Wenyuan and Shan Bing are no different from the homeless.

As for the reason, it is naturally a shortage of food, because they failed to get supplies in Songzhou, and were chased all the way by the people of Songzhou, they already did not have much to eat, and they were even worse, although they finally escaped from the place called the devil's cave in Songzhou, but they also lost the last food supply.

The two of them are eating these things now, because they were kind-hearted to the team of people who don't know whether they were thieves or officers and soldiers, and gave them some dry food that they had with them.

Theoretically, they may be able to buy it with money, but that also has to let the Songzhou people spit out the goods they left behind first, not to mention that the prices here are already high and scary, especially in terms of daily food, even if they have more money, where can they resist such expenses?

"It actually takes a process for people to become homeless."

After wandering outside Songzhou for a few days, Jiang Wenyuan and Shan Bing experienced this for the first time.

No one is a homeless person in the first place, and people don't really think of themselves as homeless, they just feel that they have encountered some trouble by chance, whether it is the loss of money, the loss of relatives, or the occupation of their homes by robbers - it is true that what happened to them makes them miserable, but they also actually believe that the pain is always temporary.

As long as we get through this difficult time, everything will be fine again.

If you lose your money, you can earn it again, if you lose your home, if you lose your family and friends, it's more troublesome, but time will heal all the scars after all.

"As long as we go to a certain place, we can still have another home."

Jiang Wenyuan and Shan Bing, who were mixed in the ranks of the homeless people, heard the homeless people around them say this more than once.

As for what this place is like, different homeless people have different opinions, but without exception, it is basically the most beautiful place in their imagination - but unfortunately, this is only imagination after all, and the reality is that they will never be able to reach that dream place in their lifetime.

As for the reason, it is also very simple.

Just because there is not enough to eat.

Just like Jiang Wenyuan and Shan Bing originally thought, they only need to bring more money when they go out, and as for more food and water, they can always be bought with money along the way - one or two people think like this, the problem is not big, but a large number of homeless people think like this......

It actually takes a process for people to become homeless.

No one is a homeless person from the beginning, and no one will really regard themselves as a homeless, and similarly, there are very few people who will really leave their homes empty-handed, at that time they still have some basic money and food in their hands, at least the most basic life can still be lived - of course, these preparations may not be much, but as long as you suffer, endure it, and survive until the beginning of a new life, it is always enough, right?

It's a pity, not enough.

When they left their homeland and embarked on the journey, they had no source of income, and there was always a time when they ran out of food in their hands, and they bought ...... along the way. This is even more unlikely. At the moment, grain is being harvested everywhere, and the price has flown to a terrifying number, what is the little money in their hands enough for?

"The more displaced people, the more expensive the food, the more expensive the food, the more people who can't afford it, the more displaced people."

Jiang Wenyuan and Shan Bing were vaguely aware that a strange circle was repeating, and this strange circle was somewhat unreasonable, you must know that the more expensive the food, the more people should be farming, so it is in line with common sense, why did it become more homeless in the end?

"Because farming will be robbed."

This is the answer given by the displaced people.

In fact, not every homeless person can farm, only some of them are old croppers, and there are many more townspeople among them, but these people are a little worse at farming - but even if they don't know anything, they can actually be trained, and together they can always give themselves a future.

But, again, this can only be considered a beautiful fantasy.

The fact is that once there is a harvest, the bandits will come to the door, and they will pick a few people to come out and kill Liwei, and then when everyone else is too scared to move, they will snatch all the harvest, leaving only a little food that is not enough to feed the chickens, so that these people can continue to plant.

Of course, if for safety, they can also choose to take refuge in those dock marshals who have a certain combat power, but what those local tycoons want is actually not much different from bandits.

After all, they are outsiders, refugees, and if they want to gain a foothold in the local area, they will inevitably be exploited by all walks of life in the local area.

Of course, at this time, they still have a vision, and they still feel that they can live a normal life again, as long as they stay through it again, everything will be fine.

Just boil it up a little longer.

Just boil it up a little longer.

But people will not survive after all.

After all, people will go hungry.

If eating and drinking enough can make people feel stable and radiant, then on the other hand, lack of food and clothing will make people haggard and uneasy - especially when the normal dress and eat suddenly becomes something that you need to work hard to get, and even if you can't necessarily get it with all your life, this sense of uneasiness will be infinitely magnified.

The once beautiful vision has gradually faded away, no matter what the grand goal has disappeared, and eating the next meal, or even this one, has become the biggest problem.

As long as you have to eat, you can still live, if you want to live, you have to eat something, as long as your life is still there, everything can always come again, as long as you can eat, everything else can be lost.

So, even in the face of high prices, as long as they can have this bite of food, people often admit it, but they will eventually sit on empty mountains and eat empty after all, and the little money and food in their hands will eventually run out - so the former businessman took out the old book, the former scholar sold the pen and ink, the former craftsman sold the guy, and even the old farmer sold his hoe and shovel.

As long as you can change the bite of food, these are acceptable.

"Or you sell this coffin board too."

Several homeless people gathered around Shan Bing and Jiang Wenyuan, and they had been staring at these two people for a long time.

"Although this thing is not valuable, it is also a wooden tool after all, and it can be used as firewood for people to burn, and it can also warm up the body......"

"Get out."

Shan Bing, who was resting on the big shield, only opened his eyes slightly, and the ferocity that had killed people had already scared those homeless people away.

No matter how far he falls, he will not be able to sell this shield, the sword and shield in his hand are not only his weapons, but also his closest comrades-in-arms.

He is also the most trustworthy partner for him.

"You're doing the right thing, don't shoot the blade."

Jiang Wenyuan, who went out to inquire about the news and came back, decisively agreed to Shan Bing's choice after hearing about what was happening on Shan Bing's side.

"Although there is a risk of revealing our identity, the blade cannot be left in our hands no matter what, and we will be hungry twice on weekdays, but as long as the blade is in hand, we can still have a last resort."

This so-called last resort, of course, is black to eat black, since the local people from all walks of life have to give face, just raise the price, and make them hungry, they have no need to get used to each other - yes, when they were in Songzhou, they were indeed beaten out, but the two hundred soldiers who were named in charge, if they wanted to rob, I am afraid that even those dock forts in Songzhou would not have time to gather people to stop them.

"The blade in our hand is our last reliance."

Jiang Wenyuan's face was quite unkind.

"It's a big deal!"

"Indeed."

Shan Bing nodded, but his eyes looked at Jiang Wenyuan with a rather surprised look.

Originally, he thought that this headhunter from a public family would be a more decent person, but now it seems that the other party is actually similar to his thinking?

"It's just because I've been a head catcher that I know that the truth is all told to you."

Jiang Wenyuan noticed Shan Bing's strange eyes, but he didn't care.

"If what you do meets their expectations and follows their wishes, they will say that you are reasonable, and if you don't follow their wishes and do not meet their expectations, even if you have a stomach full of reason, it will only become unreasonable...... So fuck the bullshit, Lao Tzu has been hungry for three days, and he doesn't even have the bark to gnaw on, and if he reasoned with those profiteers, Lao Tzu would starve to death. ”

"yes, what's the point at this time? Is it true that they sit on the ground and raise the price? ”

Shan Bing also took out the short sword from under the big shield, found a coarse cloth and slowly wiped it.

Since it makes sense to sit on the ground and start the price, then the guy in their hands is even more reasonable, at least when they talk to each other, those profiteers will not be able to say a word.

Naturally, the dead will shut up forever, and their so-called truth will be taken away by wild dogs along with the corpse.

Oh no, it looks like they've eaten all the wild dogs nearby.

"In short, the next time you trade, depending on the situation, if you can't buy grain, you will wash the dock fort directly."

Jiang Wenyuan's face was dark, and he was even more fierce than bandits at this moment.

This also made Shan Bing's gaze at Jiang Wenyuan more and more curious, and he didn't know what this head catcher had gone through.

Maybe after being hungry, everyone is the same.

As long as you have a full meal, you will be able to recover.

Now that the strategy has been set, the two of them will sleep peacefully, this time it is not a yearning for a better life, but a trophy in front of them - as long as they pick a local wealthy family and wash it, they will have enough food to continue on the road, if these things are eaten, it is a big deal to wash another family.

So what was their original mission?

I can't remember exactly, but it's definitely not as important as eating.

"Eat!"

Even when he was sleeping, Shan Bing vaguely heard such a shout.

"Eat, eat, eat!"

"Huh? Is this the opening of the meal? ”

Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Shan Bing, who was in a trance, reluctantly sat up.

But before he could open his eyes, two slaps were already on his face.

"Wake up! Don't sleep! ”

What sounded in his ears was Jiang Wenyuan's voice.

"It's good to sleep again...... It's time to eat! ”

"What's the meal?"

Shan Bing opened his eyes, and then he saw a giant bear with three heads and feathers all over his body, munching wildly in the crowd.

"Shhh

Looking at the giant bear's strong figure, Shan Bing gasped when he climbed it.

It turned out that Jiang Wenyuan was talking about being opened, and it was obvious that although their team of homeless people was indeed hungry, there was always something more hungry than them - especially when there were more and more of them, those man-eating monsters came over directly after smelling the smell.

And those evil monsters, more than one.

A bear with three heads, a chicken with a snake head, and a stiff corpse with a huge body full of arrows, three monsters are eating wildly in the ranks of the homeless, and these three monsters can only be regarded as the vanguard of the monster team.

In the distance, visible to the naked eye, more monsters are speeding up.

"This ...... Come on! ”

Shan Bing and Jiang Wenyuan both had some experience in fighting evil monsters, and they could already see at a glance that this battle was completely beyond their ability to handle.

If it's just a monster, the two of them should be able to kill together, even if it's two monsters, the two of them are desperate, they should be able to run away, but just looking at this number at the moment, it's clear that there are more than a dozen monsters, this battle is really something that people can deal with?

"What should have been thought of a long time ago, what should have been thought of a long time ago......"

Shan Bing patted his head vigorously.

Yes, he should have thought a long time ago, this is no better than the Jiankang Capital, and the monsters can't be killed by the commander as soon as they show up - and this means that many monsters are actually entrenched in those mountains and mountains that no one dares to approach, but many people don't know it.

People are hungry and need to eat, what about monsters?

Monsters are hungry every day, and their appetites are so great that it seems that they can never be satisfied.

"Let's go!"

Picking up the big shield, Shan Bing and Jiang Wenyuan hurriedly rushed to the road.

The monsters in the distance are getting faster and faster, obviously, they have smelled the smell of blood here, and Shan Bing and Jiang Wenyuan finally know why those local dock forts basically don't accept outsiders - originally they thought that this was to prevent bandits from mixing in and out of the outside, but now it seems that if it ...... It is very likely that there is also the idea of controlling the population and avoiding attracting these evil monsters.

At the end of the day, all the bandits want is money and food, but these evil monsters, they really eat people.

Fortunately, they finally survived after running all the way, after all, they were only two people, and there were many people in the camp camp on the other side.

The monsters raged all night and did not disperse until dawn, and when Shan Bing and Jiang Wenyuan returned to the camp again, they still saw many people alive.

Obviously, after being a homeless person for a long time, they also have some means of making a living of their own.

And evading monsters is part of this means of making a living.

I made up for sleep in the evening, and when I woke up, I started to change, everyone rested first, and I continued to write at night.

Also: Thank you for your recommendation votes and monthly passes, and thank you for your encouragement and support.

I'll continue to go to the codeword, everyone will rest first.
