Chapter 2821: Watching coldly
The four of them found some stones, wooden sticks, and simple wood to arm themselves.
This is very good.
After all, the four people have strengthened their bodies and are comparable to the quality of a first-level athlete.
At least they belong to the elite servants of this era within two days.
The four of them walked towards the town in the distance.
Along the way, they saw the rice fields on the roadside, which were all dried up.
The so-called rice seedlings inside were already pulled out and eaten.
They saw some dry corpses, with only bones on them, and there were traces of scratches on them.
Most are the elderly, weak, sick and disabled.
"Is it so scary?" No. 1 frowned. "People eat each other means entering the last stage. People starve to death on a large scale, and there is no last ration at home. They start to flee on the road, and the corpses we see are the people who died in the escape."
"No one can see people on the road now, which means that the last wave of people who fled also escaped, and those who cannot escape will die." No. 2 frowned. "Then let's go over and stay here, and starve to death sooner or later." No. 3 urged.
Wensheng nodded.
Soon the four of them braved the heat and continued to walk all the way toward the town.
After that after half a day, the four of them finally arrived in the town.
It's lunch time now, but none of them have smoke.
They knew that people with food did not dare to expose smoke from cooking.
There are no pedestrians on the streets in the town.
Occasionally, you can hear some bird calls, which are the crows.
They walked into the town carefully.
On both sides of the street, some people's doors are wide open, and it looks like there is no one left.
They entered one of them and ended up having nothing.
There is a well, but there is no water at the bottom of the well.
Famine is often associated with persistent drought.
The water I drink is gone?
They worked hard from the bottom of the well and finally got a little dirty water.
The four of them settled a little and then they were evenly divided.
Then they found some wooden boards from this family as simple protection and put them on their bodies.
Most people cannot do it and do not have the strength to resist these burdens.
Searched two more kitchen knives, and added wooden sticks to make a growth machete.
After taking the protection, the four of them turned into bandits and searched for other people.
A family, without food, caught a mouse.
Another one, no, dug dozens of big white worms out of the bed.
Maybe it wasn't that they couldn't imagine it, but they didn't have the strength to dig again.
Then the four of them burned fire with the door panel to divide the protein equally. "It seems that even during the period of famine, as long as you have the strength, you are young and strong, and you will have a high probability of survival." No. 1 said. "Yes, there are reserved grain everywhere, more than 100 kilograms of dried meat, which is enough to replenish two months. The civilization of human beings is indeed tenacious." No. 2 said coldly. "That's right, and it's still a young and strong person who can reproduce. Please live first. Don't think about morality. In fact, we are all descendants of the cannibals." No. 3 sighed.
Then the four began to search the town again.
Those doors and windows are closed, obviously there is still some surplus food at home, and they are still struggling to persevere. "Why don't they escape?" No. 3 said in confusion.
Wensheng shook his head: "They should be counting on rain. They have dozens of acres of self-cultivated farmers at home, so they don't want to escape."
"Forget it, don't worry about them, let's go find other food."
Everyone started digging out earthworms, but the ground was too dry and could not be digging at all.
I went to dig the mouse hole again, caught the crow, and finally found a little bit of food.
More were dug up by others.
Don't underestimate other people's initiative during famine.
I have basically thought of everything I can think of, but I can't figure it out, but there is nothing I can do.
"The food is still not enough."
"Do you want to break into a bandit?"
"It doesn't work, and it doesn't matter if you are a bandit."
Wen Sheng looked at the three people and thought, if he couldn't do it well, he would also reserve grain.
Luckily, all four of them are participants in the rules game. They would not kill each other unless they had to - mainly because they were worried about the game evaluation.
"Forget it, let me think about it. Now we need to gather people and gather young and strong people together. It is best to use a name." Wen Sheng thought for a while and said.
"What's the name?"
"Simply use the name of Xuantian Ancestor to come to the world to save people..."
In fact, Wen Sheng knew that the place of famine was mainly due to lack of organization.
"Yes, just do it."
The three of them also knew what Wensheng meant.
Everyone knows it, no details are described.
…
So.
A week later, all the survivors of Qingyun Town were gathered.
Everyone entered the primitive era.
The ancestor Xuantian came to the world to save the world.
Although many people didn't believe it at first, they showed their abilities in the four people, jumping five meters high...
So they believed that they had divine power.
The food and drinking water are distributed equally to everyone to ensure the lowest survival needs.
Then take people to the unaffected place.
A town, originally thousands of people, has gathered only more than fifty young and strong people.
Walking with food, we walked towards the county town.
As for the others, they were naturally left behind.
This is difficult.
It's mainly a conscience difficulty.
But you have to cross it.
Because of the feudal era, if you want to succeed, you have to do this.
No choice.
I can only tell them that they will be blessed with a glorious funeral in the future.
...
Along the way, the team of Qingyun Town absorbed some young and strong people with food, expanding to about 80 people.
After coming to the county town, I found that the county town had long become a dead city.
The county magistrates were beaten to death. "The court did not send anyone here?" No. 1 said in confusion.
"It seems that the court has sent people to guard the road and prevented the hungry people from going out." No. 2 guessed. "Well, in this way, the hungry people will have to starve to death in drought." No. 3 nodded. "We have to find a way to rush out."
Then everyone packed up some things from the county town and found a little bit of food, which was made of birds, rats, and jerky meat...
Then everyone walked all the way east.
Walk along the water vapor.
The sea is on the east side.
The crowd walked for more than ten days.
Along the way, I saw too many things and fell.
There are also some bandits who saw them, come to rob and eventually become jerky...
Anyway, the four of them had decided to erase their consciences long ago, but they just didn't eat it themselves.
How is it possible to live normally without breaking through some bottom line?
This is famine.
As strong as Cao Cao, there is also a story about jerky meat.
This day.
The group staggered on the road.
When I arrived at the foot of a barren mountain, I was about to pass by.
Suddenly, a robber leader jumped out from behind the rocks.
Hold a worn spear in his hand and wrapped in tattered cotton armor.
A group of people emerged from the mountain.
Everyone's eyes were red.
Obviously they are also a group of ogres. "I planted this tree, and I open this road." "If you want to fight this, stay and buy money." The robber leader shouted out a cut.
At this time, Wensheng didn't think of how to answer.
No. 1 stepped forward and bowed and said, "A couple of passengers flying around the world, a roast duck headed north."
"Brother, which road is it?"
The robber leader was stunned and his face turned red.
Feeling a little ashamed. He didn't expect that the other party was still a professional robber.
He was just an amateur. After hearing a storyteller said a few common incisions, he took people out to rob and survive.
So it was found that robbery was also difficult, much more difficult than farming.
It can't be opened once every ten days and half a month.
No wonder although there are so many bandits, I can’t see a few old bandits. "I don't care which way you are. Now I don't want to talk nonsense. Keep all your weapons and food, and leave the five sheep." The robber leader said viciously.
At this time, a stunned boy next to him asked, "They seem to have some food, but where did the sheep come from?"
The robber leader slapped him in the face. "What kind of sheep is not sheep? Are you a fool?" "There are no real sheep these days, you are sheep!" The stupid boy suddenly felt creepy.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
So they are all sheep! "You are right, you are sheep." Number One was too lazy to talk nonsense, he had already figured out the details of these people.
Not an old bandit, a group of newcomers.
The other party was exposed after a few words.
Then he rushed forward with ten people.
The robber leader was stabbed to death by a spear after just resisting twice...
The others dispersed after just a few breaths.
A few people ran away, a few fell to death, a few surrendered, and more people couldn't run away, and closed their eyes and waited for death.
…
Wen Sheng and others arranged for everyone to do what they should do before choosing to leave.
They incorporated a small number of strong bandits.
The number of people has expanded to more than one hundred.
It’s not that we cannot expand more, it’s that there is not enough food.
They led the bandits to continue walking forward.
Along the way, I saw some people lying on the road...
This walk took more than 200 miles.
More than one hundred people, although they were all young and strong, still more than twenty people fell.
Of course, although they fell down, they were still following the team.
They finally saw a big road.
The drought on both sides of the road is getting lighter and shallower.
This is the most common way to deal with droughts in ancient times - escape.
Relying on the spot to rescue disasters, digging wells to get water, and driving big customers... that's all that I'm thinking too much.
After the severe drought, the large households had long been wiped out.
The people who survived were all those who escaped to places without disasters and finally returned home after the disaster.
This is how it is repeated in history.
People in the feudal era, like animals, used their most primitive instinct to avoid disasters.
They saw a river in the distance.
There is some water inside.
They can also see that there are a few people busy in the fields.
They resisted the clay pots and used the most primitive labor to fill the water in the river, and then poured it into the fields.
They need to obtain even the smallest harvest.
Even this harvest may be taken away in the future.
This depends on the vision and conscience of local officials and wealthy families.
A little visionary and a little conscientious, everyone knows to let them breathe a sigh of relief.
Reap the harvest when the year is better.
Without vision, the result is a civil unrest, and everyone will be ruined together.
But there are quite a lot of the latter.
I have to say that they still gain some rewards in this hard work.
At least those seedlings are still a little green.
"We can farm here!" someone said excitedly.
It was just as they were excited that they saw poles erected in front, and people after people were killed and hung on them. "What's going on?" "Is it a robber who was killed?" Someone said with luck.
Wenxing and the other two frowned, and they glanced at each other.
Not long after, a voice came.
"Where are you refugees from?"
"Get back wherever you come from!"
At this time, a small team of cavalry, five people, all of them were wearing tattered cotton armor, white helmets, and long swords, rushing over.
Seeing the horses, the hungry people's eyes suddenly shone.
I haven't eaten serious food for a long time.
Although the horse looks a little thin, it still has a few hundred kilograms of meat! "Master, okay, let's go there." "We are all good people, we want to have a meal!" Several hungry people couldn't help shouting.
At this moment, the prestige of the four people fell to the bottom.
These people began to kowtow to the five cavalrymen, ignoring Wen Xing and the other four.
But the four of them didn't feel any upset.
This is normal.
No worries, I hope to go all the way and organize all the way. Do these people remember your good things?
Thinking too much.
The human heart is the most unreliable thing.
Only the knife handle, the silver handle, and the seal handle work!
No. 1 looked at these people coldly.
As sure, the cavalry gave them divine assists.
"Get out!"
"No, you must go back to us!"
"Do you have to die at your own home even if you die!"
"No refugees are allowed here!"
The five cavalrymen said fiercely.
At this time, the few people working in the field also picked up their hoes and quickly gathered into a bunch of people.
"Groupes, good luck, let's stay." Someone begged to the villagers.
So the villagers glared at them.
"Get out of here, you can't occupy our water, our land!"
"Only we locals come here to beg!"
No. 2 whispered: "So that's it. These feudal officials are going to starve all these refugees to death."
"Why?"
"Why don't you give us a way out?" Some of the young and strong people behind us were wailing at the sky.
Wensheng shook his head and sneered.
What is this?
A semi-saint advocates killing refugees quickly by killing them more and leaving the vacant place, and then they will be stable.
So he won the title of "Semi-Saint".
This is feudal society.
The word feudal is a joke with you?
It's not outrageous how cruel it is.
The people can't survive anymore, so kill them all, and if they kill them all, no one will be in chaos.
They just can't do that.
In fact, famine occurs every year, refugees occur every year.
And the so-called prosperous era means that the troops are strong enough and the officials are doing things, so they can suppress the refugees.
Either strangle or comfort, he still has the ability to do these two things.
In times of trouble, it means that the dynasty's internal consumption power has increased too much and neither of them can be done.
Then the cavalry began to drive away these young and strong people.
Wensheng had already left early with a small number of people.
Some of them didn't want to leave, but they were ruthlessly killed by the long sword.
The dead people were quickly dragged away by the villagers...
Everyone was stunned.
In fact, the four of them had already guessed this scene. They deliberately took these people and wanted to let them see the reality.
Let them give up on the court.
Many people have no intention of rebellion at all, and they all have a sense of luck.
They thought the court would at least give them some relief.
At least some money and food are given to them to survive this disaster year and then go back to farm.
However, they didn't know that the court might have given it.
But the officials below took the opportunity to swallow most of them.
