In the early morning, the solitary body with the skin peeled clean was set up in the morning breeze, the toad Taoist wrapped in a small cotton jacket and shook his calves on the hem of the robe, and the body of the person who extended up, Lu Liangsheng woke up from his slumber, and the empty mana in his body came back a little.

In the morning light, the surrounding was still barren soil, and the mountains were bare, like huge graves, which made him feel desolate.

The Taoist also got out of the crack in the stone, stretched his waist, and followed the scholar's line of sight to look at the refugees below.

"When is this going to be a head? ”

Lu Liangsheng didn't speak, and woke up the master who was drowsy in winter, and the toad Taoist yawned, rubbed his confused eyes, and watched the scholar tidy up everything and bring the old donkey.

"Go further. ”

Here, Lu Liangsheng has no ability to help anymore, and it is still up to the imperial court to solve the refugees in the northwest in the end, but what he has seen for several days in a row is a little disappointed......

When leading the old donkey and the Taoist down the hill, outside the city in the distance, someone saw the figure of the hill dressed in white, and shouted, and the surrounding black and oppressive crowd raised their faces, like the ups and downs of the tide, and stood up together, so frightened that the soldiers on the city wall clenched their weapons, and thought that the victims were going to storm the city.

On the hill, the scholar who was leading the old donkey stopped and looked over there.

"They ......," the Taoist couldn't help but mutter, "....... You don't want to rush over, do you? I told you not to be kind, what ...... now?"

Before he finished speaking, a figure knelt down in front of the crowd in the distance.

Then, one after the other, the black pressed and knelt down.

"White-clothed immortals, save us. "I don't want to die......"

"...... don't go, please let it rain a little. ”

"My son is dying, save him, he's still young, he hasn't seen anything......"

"Don't go, fairy in white, don't go......"

.......

Countless small and fragmented pleads flew like snowflakes, Lu Liangsheng closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spit out.

"I really hope I'm a god...... Let's go. ”

Leaving this city, Lu Liangsheng's mood has not calmed down, on the road to the north, there are still many fleeing teams, seeing that the scholars and Taoist priests are clean, they have come to beg for some food.

In the years of famine, the bandits on the mountains were not spared, and the 'fat sheep' were gone, and they could only follow, killing people and plundering goods and robbing women on the road, and then running into the mountains.

When Lu Liangsheng saw it, he could help if he could, but many times, all he found were corpses that had been ruined.

"Ben Dao has never even held a woman's hand...... These people should be killed!"

Sun Yingxian shouted indignantly, and soon, he met again, he was alone, rushed over, and used the Tao to stop a few bandits, however, before he could vent his anger, those bandits were cut into several pieces by the surrounding disaster victims.

From south to north, there are incredible scenes everywhere.

Lu Liangsheng has come along the way, and from the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest described in the previous book, he has deduced this corner of heaven and earth in front of him.

The sun was setting over the bare hills, and another day was about to pass.

Deviating from the crowded road of the victims, the path deep in the mountains, Lu Liangsheng led the old donkey to pass here temporarily, and the heartbreaking scene outside was probably impossible to watch anymore, so he had to choose this kind of remote path to move forward, fortunately, there were almost few victims who walked here.

In the dim skylight, turning the bend ahead, several houses stood behind the dead trees and old forests, connected together like an inn.

"There will also be an inn in this place?"

The Taoist went over to inquire first, and soon turned back and shook his head: "There is no one left, it is estimated that he was killed by a passing mountain bandit." ”

"Then let's rest inside tonight. ”

Lu Liangsheng said lightly, and led the old donkey towards the inn, although the mana recovered, but along the way, he was exhausted, making him feel tired.

The burned corner of the signboard swayed in the wind, and in the sound of 'creaking', Lu Liangsheng walked past the collapsed door, most of the furnishings inside had been smashed and scattered all over the ground, the counter was mottled with blood and dirt, and the wine jar placed on it was broken and crooked to the side.

Anyway, there was no one left, so they used broken tables and chairs as fuel in the hall, lit a bonfire, and two intact long tables that happened to be used as beds temporarily.

The toad Taoist jumped out of the cubicle, stretched out his frog flippers to roast the fire, and urged the Taoist to quickly take out the inventory and cook rice.

And Hong Lian helped clean the long table, making it dusty everywhere, when Lu Liangsheng took the small pot and came over, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and two pairs of men and women with two children stood at the door, vigilantly looking at the scholars and Taoist priests who came first.

"Come in, we're here to spend the night. ”

Lu Liangsheng invited them in, and he was also looking at each other, it was not a wealthy family, the clothes were old, relatively thin, in the early winter, standing at the door was cold and shivering, and the three children next to him looked curiously at the toad wearing a small cotton jacket.

"Daddy, look, that toad ......"

The parents next to him pulled the child all of a sudden, and their eyes sternly signaled not to talk nonsense, the two families wanted to be familiar neighbors, and they fled together, at this time, they led the child to nod carefully at Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist, and went to the corner to settle down, no matter what, it is always better to have a shelter from the wind than to run outside to freeze and cry is much stronger.

Learning from the scholars and Taoist priests over there, a small fire was raised, and cold dry food was taken out and roasted by the fire, at this time, the small pot in the hall boiled the rice porridge, and several people smelled the fragrance and their stomachs gurgled, especially the children, couldn't help but look over, and saw that there were still pieces of meat thrown in, and swallowed saliva greedily.

The sun was setting, and it was getting dark outside.

In the iron pot, the gruel was boiling, and the snake meat was tumbling on the porridge, and Lu Liangsheng scooped two bowls and took them to the two families over there.

"We still have more, these two bowls for children. ”

The parents on both sides didn't know what to do, so they didn't dare to pick it up, Lu Liangsheng smiled, and he wasn't angry, he knew that in this environment, he really couldn't trust others easily, so he put two bowls of meat porridge on the ground, returned to the fire, and shared a bowl with the Taoist to eat.

But a moment later a series of footsteps sounded outside, and a voice shouted outside:

"This is it, I saw those two families go inside!"

In the inn, two men and two women eating dry food in the corner of the wall trembled visibly, and the children holding bowls of porridge shrank to their parents in fear.

Lu Liangsheng and the Taoist glanced at each other, got up and turned back, the door that was originally standing up to block the wind was kicked open, there were six people standing outside the door, leather jackets and trousers, carrying knives and axes, with hideous and fierce faces, the leader of the man carried a long knife, his eyes swept around the inn, and he saw the two families, and also saw the scholar and the Taoist priest, as well as the old donkey who placed the wall.

"And two...... Looks like I'll be able to eat donkey meat tonight. ”

With a smile on his face, he waved his hand slightly between the words, and asked his subordinates to block the door.

"The scholars and little Taoist priests over there, I blame you for your bad luck today, leave everything behind, and then roll it to Lao Tzu bare-chested. ”

Then, he turned his head to look at the men and women over there, "As for you, women and children stay. ”

The two families in the corner huddled together and shivered.

Inside the inn, it was quiet, except for the crackling of the campfire and the spark of the old donkey, as if a series of mockery.

Over there, Lu Liangsheng stretched out his hand and pressed the Taoist who wanted to rush over, and took out a few ingots of silver from his cuffs.

"The clothes don't fit you either, and there is only this valuable thing on the lower body, so you might as well take them all. ”

"Huh..... Hahaha..... You are a scholar. ”

The bandit leader walked over, looked at the silver taels in the other party's hand, and was not suspicious, so he took it directly and threw it in the palm of his hand: "The weight is not light." ”

Then he threw it to his subordinates behind him and put it away.

The toad Taoist behind the scholar, seeing this scene, continued to drink meat porridge while the old god was there.

On the side, a sneer appeared on the Taoist's face, and he turned around and sat back.

The man frowned and grabbed the hilt of the knife behind his back with his backhand.

"What are you laughing at?!"

"Dare to take his things with your own hands, you're finished. ”
