Chapter 812 Chapter 812: The Rumored Shen Jun【Ask for a monthly ticket】
Hunger, disease.
Looking at each other, starving and dying.
In the vast wilderness, there was not a single bit of emerald green. The hundred and ten refugees looked numb and walked slowly in a certain direction. On this road, from time to time, a corpse covered in rotting flesh can be seen. Mosquitoes and flies hovered, maggots wriggled, and a child with dry, sunken cheeks squatted beside him, swallowing, and grabbed a few maggots and stuffed them into his mouth. His eyes are fierce and determined like a lone wolf.
Suddenly, a kick came.
She was caught off guard and fell forward hard.
What's weird is that she didn't look back to see who kicked her, ignored the pain in her forehead, and crawled forward with her hands and feet. The kicker didn't seem to have expected her to react like this, and was stunned on the spot. The next moment he reacted, he strode forward to chase after the person.
"Don't run!"
"Little brat!"
"Stop for me!"
Although there is a huge difference in body size between the two, the child, driven by the desire to survive, unleashes a burst of potential and jumps fast. Her heart was beating like a drum, and she didn't dare to stop at all. Because she knew exactly what would happen if she was caught!
She will be like the neighbor brother who was exchanged, turning into pieces of deliciously roasted meat and a pot of soup that smells craving.
"Don't run—"
"Damn, the little brat runs fast!"
This man is as thin as a skeleton covered in human skin. He hasn't had a full stomach for a long time, and his last meal was the day before yesterday. He was not physically strong enough, worried that grabbing the little girl from behind would cause her to struggle violently and consume his strength for nothing, so he sneaked up and kicked the little girl from behind. He thought that this kick could make a person unable to get up, but he didn't expect the opponent to jump faster than a rabbit.
"Bah—you're lucky!"
This scene was also seen by the refugees.
There is no adult around that little girl, either she got lost with an adult or the adult had an accident. No one cares if this kind of child disappears. If their lives were stable, they might be willing to come out and be good people, but now they are mud bodhisattvas crossing the river, and they can't protect themselves. How can they have the energy to pay attention to other family's affairs? Hehe, out of sight is out of mind.
The team formed by the numb crowd is still squirming slowly.
They fled all the way, their belongings were either lost or were raided by soldiers and bandits countless times, and they had no food on their bodies.
At the beginning, we could get some food, but as the refugee team got bigger and bigger, it became more and more difficult to get food. In the end, there are grass roots to eat grass roots, tree bark to eat bark, and nothing to drink water. Some strong young men would sneak up in the middle of the night, disappear for a few hours, and return before dawn. They didn't say anything, but everyone knew it in their hearts.
The big guys are getting more and more sallow and thin, and they are so hungry that they can't even speak, but these people still maintain a bit of ruddy.
I was really hungry until the end.
Yizi and eat, eat to satisfy hunger.
But this approach doesn't last long.
The refugees looked at each other with ferocity and beast-like hunger, but no one dared to break the balance first. Because no one can guarantee that they will definitely use chopsticks, and it may become a meal on the plate. One after another, people died of starvation and disease.
Their deaths perpetuate this delicate balance for days.
finally-
The atmosphere was still broken.
But it is good news.
A long-lost refugee returns with good news.
There is a place nearby that is recruiting soldiers, and if you are selected, you can eat all you can! They want both men and women, old people and children. As he said, he took out a lot of dry food from his pocket and spread it out for others to see: "These are all you can eat!"
Gulp—
The loud sound of swallowing saliva fell into everyone's ears. What they thought was someone else's was actually their own.
A dirty, unrecognizable child stretched out a pair of black hands, and snatched two pieces of his dry food with lightning speed. He stuffed it into his mouth and chewed hard with a ferocious expression. Seeing this, the refugee was so angry that he wanted to slap the two of them.
The little girl opened a pair of sinister and fierce eyes, avoided his hand that was about to tear people, and yelled vaguely: "You can eat as much as you like, what's wrong with me eating a piece of you?"
When she called out like this, the refugee was unwilling to stop. He was so angry that his molars kept rubbing against each other, and he squeezed out a sentence: "Yes, you can eat as much as you want... It's just that you are a child who is not educated. You have a mother but not a mother. This is to How can you **** the ones that are distributed to everyone?"
The little girl stared and said nothing.
Patting his chest, it took a long time to pat down the dry food stuck in his throat, and the other refugees were also divided into several small pieces. These dry foods have been stored for a long time, the taste is a bit sour, and the taste is even more tasteless than mud, but many people were moved to tears.
The refugees who took out the dry food expressed their relief.
"What are you crying for? Come with me, we'll have a full stomach together! Jun Shen, Jun Shen, you know? He's short of everything, but not food. The tyrant wasn't dead before, so he robbed them all." Didn’t he distribute our food to us? The folks have forgotten? Follow him to fill our stomachs!”
Following that, the refugee spoke vividly about how he was treated after participating in the recruitment. He was well fed and well dressed. That day was so good that he would not change it even if he became the lord of the country! Some of the crowd also came from Yanzhou, so it is natural to know that Shen Tang gritted his teeth and evened out food to help the victims when the war was at its most tense! The people in front of them spoke enthusiastically again, and they immediately believed half or seven in their hearts.
At this time, it was the little girl who questioned her.
"You said you were well dressed?"
The refugee said: "Yes!"
"Then why are you still dressed so poorly?"
The refugee who was being questioned almost had a heart attack. He secretly looked at the girl with a murderous look in his eyes, but he quickly restrained himself. He is also a little quick-witted, and he thought up the reason before everyone wavered and became suspicious, and then beat him up: "If I had worn the good clothes Shen Jun gave me, I would have been robbed by someone long ago. It's good, I naturally have to be close to my own people first." Ah. What's the matter with you doll? Don't you want to see everyone's well-being? What a bad heart!"
Although the girl sensed something was wrong, she was still young, and she would be at a loss in the face of so many people's disgusting eyes.
She was aware of the malicious gazes around her and chose to remain silent.
Without her jumping out to raise the bar, the blueprint drawn by the refugee successfully hooked a group of people who were so hungry that their eyes were blackened, their bodies were weak, and their minds only had the idea of filling their stomachs. Most people have a herd mentality. Seeing more and more people choose to believe, they follow suit. The little girl wanted to run, but a thin and strong hand grabbed her shoulder tightly.
"Let go of me—"
"Child, you are too dangerous alone."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but take her away as well.
She struggled to no avail and was pinched secretly, and even threatened in a low voice: "If you are dishonest, I will be you now!"
Seeing the horror in those eyes, the refugee was satisfied.
Maybe there is hope, these people finally have a little smile on their numb faces. For the sake of food, they are eager to know everything about this good man Shen Jun. Out of vanity, a few people made up false news just by opening their mouths.
Fake news is normal at first.
Such as fighting without disturbing the people, and giving food to refugees.
After that, the style of painting changed in an outrageous direction.
Such as not enough food, lack of medicinal materials, a filial son in order to save his mother, stopped Shen Jun in the street to ask for help.
This Lord Shen sympathized with the common people, so he ordered someone to fetch a knife and cut the flesh from his wrist to get blood. The filial son boiled the meat and blood and fed it to his mother, and he was alive and well the next day.
"Hiss—is this fake?"
Some people feel pain in their hands just thinking about the picture of cutting flesh with a knife.
Immediately someone jumped out to refute.
"How could it be fake? I saw it with my own eyes. The village next door got plague and was about to die. Shen Jun gave a bowl of blood and poured it into the well! Guess what? The whole village drank the water from this well." , it will be all over in a few days!"
Then some people said that Shen Jun would become food.
"With a wave of his hand, a granary is full!"
"really?"
"What I saw with my own eyes, can it be fake?"
As more and more people say "what about my neighbor's village", "what about a certain relative of mine", "what about someone I heard on the road"... Everyone completely believes that this Shen Jun has the ability to make them eat Full and well dressed.
Even if they take up weapons and go to the battlefield, they are just giving away heads, but a Shen Jun with three heads, six arms, a height of ten feet, and a whole body of muscles can fill a hundred and hundreds of thousands of stone granaries with just a lift of his hand. Stingy for their meal?
As the rumors became more outrageous, no one questioned them anymore.
No, there are still doubts.
The girl huddled in the corner bit her lower lip tightly, her eyes rolled around, trying to find a way to escape. She doesn't believe in Mr. Shen, the food is so precious, those nobles can't eat enough for themselves, how can they give it to these pariahs? The adults around me are full of nonsense, some words don't make sense, only fools will believe them!
Before she could think of a way, a horseshoe approached.
The refugees were instantly tense and nervous.
The refugees who came to recruit soldiers with dry food breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was no sign of panic on their faces, and they muttered forward with a shy smile. Those capable soldiers gradually relaxed their expressions, glanced at everyone, and said, "Good job!"
After complimenting the man, he turned around again.
"You can rest assured!"
Although the tone is blunt, it is not as fierce as those soldiers and bandits.
The soldiers on horseback did not rob them, and even sent a person to lead the way. When the refugees saw this, they wept with joy. With hope in his heart, Xuruan's pace became much firmer. After half an hour, a camp appeared in their sight.
The scale of the camp is not large, and there are soldiers patrolling everywhere.
The recruiting refugees pointed to the front and said forcefully, "Here, go in, and the big guys will have something to eat!"
"There is something to eat..."
"Whoa, there's something to eat..."
The camp did not stop them, and when they heard that they were here to participate in the recruitment, they simply let them go. Afterwards, they are divided into male and female parts and sent to different regions. The steady stream of dry food that everyone expected was not delivered, but was sent to a pool instead.
"Master Jun, when can we eat?"
The soldier looked everyone up and down: "Wash them first."
There was undisguised disgust in his eyes.
The weather has been hot recently, and the stench of everyone can be smelled from several feet away. Faced with disgust, they did not dare to question the soldiers holding weapons. One by one obediently took off their clothes and went down to the pool. The pool was huge but not deep.
Adults sit in the water just up to their necks.
There are no guards nearby, so everyone can scrub and wash with confidence.
The water in the pool is not very clean, but it is cool and cool. After taking a bath, I feel a little bit more comfortable. In order not to be picky and dirty, I also put the clothes in the sink to wash them, wringed them half dry and put them back on. After a while, another soldier came to lead the way.
"Master Jun, where are you going?"
"When can we eat?"
The soldier yelled at everyone impatiently, with stern eyes: "Shut your mouth, don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"
Everyone was frightened like a quail, and they didn't dare to urge them any more.
Soon, everyone was sent to a huge tent.
The camp tent covers a large area, and it can accommodate one or two hundred people sitting side by side. When the crowd came over, there were still about twenty of them. Everyone didn't understand why, but they still cooperated obediently. I was bored and chatted with the people around me.
Fearing that the other party would not pay attention to him, he poked him with his elbow and asked curiously, "Is the food that Mr. Shen gave delicious?"
The man casts a feeble glance.
The next moment, he turned his eyeballs away again.
"Why are you ignoring people?"
The twenty or so people were too quiet, and their expressions were more numb than before, which made everyone smell a bad breath.
So I asked again: "Have you eaten?"
Finally, the other party responded, opening his mouth to curse unfriendlyly: "Eat, eat, eat, why don't you eat your parents? It will be your turn to be eaten later, and the noise is annoying!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in the ears.
They couldn't believe what they heard.
What is "their turn to be eaten"?
"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible!"
There were loud noises from the camp in the distance.
"Let me out, I won't stay here anymore!"
But after a few screams, the noise stopped. Everyone knew what happened without seeing it, and their faces were pale and dead.
Everyone has been cheated!
The little girl shrank behind the crowd in fright.
Not long after, a group of soldiers came in and lifted the man out. No matter how hard they struggled, it was useless. The soldiers looked fierce and stabbed the man in the chest with a knife. He grabbed the person's hair and dragged it out like a dead pig, leaving only **** trails.
It wasn't long before it was the little girl's turn.
She was caught out like a chicken.
At this moment, it was obvious that her mind was full of struggling thoughts, but her limbs were as stiff as wood, and she did not move at all. Maintaining a weird and funny posture, it was thrown into a pottery urn. There was already a big fire under the pottery urn.
After some time, she felt that she could control her limbs again.
Struggling to grab the pottery urn to get out.
The guarding soldiers came over with weapons when they heard the movement.
"Looking for death—"
Just as the weapon was about to fall, there was a commotion outside the camp.
The movement of the explosion made the gravel on the ground tremble.
"Flooded Seventh Army!"
A white shadow came riding the waves.
The Wenqi city wall raised in the camp was defeated by the water column Hualong. The water dragon crossed the Wenqi city wall with its head held high, and rushed towards the bottom with an indomitable momentum. For a moment, the surge was monstrous.
