Chapter 59 Immortal Soup
The girl seemed to recall some extremely frightening and soul-shattering scenes, and shuddered:
“At that time, several villagers from the east of the town came together. I was among them. When I came here, I discovered that they were indeed surrounding an iron pot. The pot was very large and filled with boiling water, but what was in it was not stones, but real meat!
< br>"The folks who ate the broth were very strange, something was wrong, their eyes were red and bloodshot, like monsters. They just grabbed the kitchen knives and arrested people on the street who had never eaten broth. At that time, I came with Brother Wang. Brother Wang didn't run away, but his neck was chopped directly and stuffed into the pot. I I was lucky enough to hide in a hut with no one around. "
The girl sighed: "But I'm so hungry that my eyes are dizzy. If Brother Xiao hadn't come back and brought me food, I'd be afraid that I wouldn't be able to bear it anymore and run to drink that food. Bowl of broth. By then I guess I'll probably have my head chopped off too. ”
Then he looked at Xiao Changcheng and the two people on the donkey cart behind him with confusion:
"Brother Xiao, where are the other people who went out with you? Who is this Taoist priest and this girl?"
< br>"They...were killed by traitors." Xiao Changcheng recalled the tragic deaths of several fellow villagers. For a moment, his eyes were lonely, and he looked at Zuo Chen again, cheering up again:
"Master Dao He is a god, here to save us! He has the ability to make rice grow. With Taoist Master in our Changshan Town, there will be no shortage of food."
Zuo Chen was embarrassed to say that he actually took it. The food popped out of the rice was distributed to them for dinner. He could only add:
"You have to go to the monk's farm to eat food later. You can't just rely on me for relief."
"That's what you said." Xiao Changcheng simply told the girl in front of him about his experiences on the road, and the girl listened. His eyes widened and he was shocked.
When he looked at Zuo Chen again, his eyes were filled with admiration and awe.
Judging from Xiao Changcheng's description, Zuo Chen is really like a god, with incredible abilities.
With free time, Xiao Changcheng finally had time to introduce this girl to Zuo Chen:
"Master Dao, this is my message to Liang Yimei. She was the one who sent me out of my hometown at that time."
Hearing this, Liang Yimei hurriedly picked up the hem of her skirt in the direction of Zuo Chen, as if she wanted to salute, but she couldn't. It occurred to me that such a small courtesy as a favor for food was a little inappropriate, so I planned to kneel down.
Zuo Chen waved his hand and exempted her from kneeling down.
Everyone wanted to kneel down and kowtow when they saw him, which was a little annoying.
"Since Zhendong is so dangerous, why don't you go back?" Xiao Changcheng asked, as if he suddenly remembered something important, his voice became urgent: "And my mother, how is my mother? ?”
"The road in the middle of the west town and the east town was occupied by them. I was afraid that I would be discovered secretly and get into the pot." Liang Yimei paused and turned her head slightly:
"Grandma... Grandma's body is a little weak. I shouldn’t be able to resist it for too long.”
Xiao Changcheng’s eyes changed several times, he thought deeply, and finally gritted his teeth.
He walked up to a fellow villager who had closed his eyes, took off the cloth from his hand, took out the knife, and wrapped it around his own hand.
He was holding a rice bowl in his left hand and a hatchet in his right hand, with a fierce look on his face.
"Brother Xiao?"
Liang Yimei looked at Xiao Changcheng hesitantly.
She always felt that this Brother Xiao was different from the good old Xiao Changcheng in her impression.
In her memory, Xiao Changcheng never had such an expression. He always treated the neighbors and the street with a kind smile.
Now it looks like Zhang Butcher on the street. Just standing here makes people shudder.
"I want to save my mother, and I will kill anyone who stops me. They are like ghosts now, but my mother cannot be like this!"
Xiao Changcheng took a step forward and protected Liang Yimei behind him:
"Sister, I will rush forward in a moment. You are behind me and the Taoist Master is here. There will definitely be no danger."
Liang Yimei's face was full of confusion and a little fear. , but could only nod and agreed to Xiao Changcheng. Xiao Changcheng turned to look at Zuo Chen. Zuo Chen just waved his hand and said:
"Just rush forward, I'm here, what are you afraid of!"
Xiao Changcheng nodded heavily, then looked back and moved forward, his aura was completely different.
Seeing him like this, Caiyi came close to Zuo Chen and asked in a low voice:
"Taoist priest, you can kill them all with just one slap, why do you have to do so? Want to let Xiao Changcheng go up? "
"I can protect them for a while, but I can't protect them for a lifetime. If I don't have the guts in my heart, even if I send them to the monk, there won't be much change in the end. .”
Zuo Chen said, staring at Xiao Changcheng with admiration in his eyes:
"If he keeps practicing, he might be able to carry the banner of Xuzhou."
No more delay, everyone Moving forward, we soon arrived at the place where the meat was stewed around the pot in Liang Yimei's mouth.
As soon as you get here, you can clearly see that the surrounding area is full of people.
They are all residents of the east of the town. They are sitting around a large pot in disheveled clothes. Firewood is set up high under the pot, and the soup in the pot is simmering until it bubbles.
The limbs of these residents are not sound, some are missing arms, some are missing legs, and some have pieces of flesh missing from their exposed skin, exposing white bones.
But there was no pain at all on their faces, they just looked at the cauldron in front of them infatuatedly, their faces full of happiness.
The smoke from the cauldron rose billowingly, and behind the cauldron, there was a tall and thin man stirring the pot with a spoon.
While stirring, he muttered:
“It’s hard to eat when you’re hungry. Rice and meat can be used as food. We are all rice and meat, so why can’t we eat it?”
>
"Shopkeeper Liu?"
After Xiao Changcheng saw the man's face, his eyes trembled.
He knew this man. He was the former shopkeeper of Zuixian Tower in the east of the town. He was also a well-known wealthy businessman in the town. When there was no famine, the food sold in his hotel was quite delicious. It turned out that if Xiao Changcheng was When I have spare money, I will go to his store to have a drink and a bite of food.
After the famine broke out, he was also a good person. Seeing that the villagers could not afford to eat, he divided his own grain reserves for them to eat.
But of course this wouldn't last long, and soon shopkeeper Liu would be out of rice.
He was so hungry that he closed the gate of Zuixian Tower. He was thinking about what to do to save the villagers every day and night. When Xiao Changcheng went out to patrol, he was also thinking about it.
But I didn’t expect that when I saw him again this time, he would already be like this!
Stirring the spoon in his hand, shopkeeper Liu raised his head and looked at Xiao Changcheng and Liang Yimei through the steam of hot soup floating upward.
Laughed:
"Xiao Xiao, Xiao Liang, you two are here just in time. Come and try my new fairy soup. You won't be hungry after just one bowl. , we people in Changshan Town can also have enough to eat.”
Then he looked at the donkey cart behind him and Zuo Chen Caiyi on it, his smile became even brighter, and the corners of his mouth seemed to reach to his ears:
"Xiao Xiao, I didn't expect that you went out to look for food, and you actually found it. Three grains, just wait, I will stew them for them in a moment!”
