Chapter 372 Dead End
"I'm an idler now, just eat a few bites to survive starvation." Xi Zhang stretched out his hand and pointed to his shoes, "Take this to Xiaolou. Look at what he's wearing. Crackling, didn't it ring last night?"

Lei Tong thought about it carefully: "No."

Xi Zhang lowered his head, tears flashed in his eyes: "This child walked such a long distance with bare feet."

Yin Xiao can endure all physical pains, and can even endure critical blows to the soul, so the wounds on his feet caused by walking barefoot are not even counted as injuries in his eyes.

He went to Penghu and saw that Penghu had already cooked soup in a big pot, a piece of dried meat and a pot of soup, and then put shelled rice in it to make a big pot of soup and rice that was neither thin nor thick. , is already the best thing they have eaten recently.

Knowing that he eats a lot and is a hard worker, Peng Hu simply put out a bowl and gave the rest to Yin Xiao.

Yin Xiao used a spoon to scoop up rice from the pot, and devoured it silently, not ravenously, but ate very quickly.

Peng Hu looked at the way he was eating, and thought to himself: "You're really a fool to work so hard even when you're at the end of the road."

Before he picked up the bowl and hadn't eaten it, Yu Tongye came over with a wild melon that he didn't know where he came from. Facing Yinxiao, a small Loudutou, he was not disrespectful at all as a commander, and stretched out a pair of Clay Hands: "Xiaolou did a great job, this is because the boys honor you."

Yin Xiao took the melon, smashed it in half with a fist, and swallowed it with the flesh of the skin.

Peng Hu smelled the sweet smell of melons, and wanted to ask where the crooked melons and dates came from, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his saliva flowed out.

Yu Tongye laughed straight: "Old Peng, do you still want to eat this meal? If you don't eat it, you can give it to me. The little bit just now is not enough for my teeth."

Peng Hu immediately protected his bowl: "Get out!"

Yinxiao eats a lot, and a melon and a pot of soup and rice are not enough in his stomach. After eating, he starts to patrol the ground again. The soldiers hide in the shade and chew food cherishingly. I am very grateful to him, but no one dares to step forward.

A dozen small soldiers gathered together and were skewering the caught locusts on the fire. The land was barren, and the locusts were not good enough. Each one was not as big as a finger, but it was still meat.

Yin Xiao smelled the fragrance and walked over. He stood not far away and listened to the sound of locusts bursting. A soldier found him and almost sat down in the fire.

No one dares to joke with Yin Xiao, Yin Xiao is like a murderous god without enthusiasm, he can only watch from a distance, if you get close, you will be afraid of being hurt by his sharpness.

A soldier carefully delivered two skewers of roasted locusts, and then fled back as if they were burning.

Yin Xiao took the roasted locusts, ate them in two or three bites, and pointed to the general flag leaning on the stone: "Give it to me."

The flag was not fluttering in the wind, it was covered with dust, and the golden word "Xi" on it was crumpled up, making it look pitiful.

The flag bearers hurriedly offered the general flag with both hands.

Yin Xiao took over the general flag, took it to the lakeside to wash it, and dried it in the scorching sun, and soon regained its majesty.

He began to carry the flag on patrol.

The dejected soldiers watched him and the general flag pass by him. The gold lettered flag on the soap background was rippling in the sun and the wind, and the golden word "Xi" shone, silently calming the restless hearts of everyone.

Peng Hu leaned on the stone and watched Yin Xiao's every move: "What a fool."

Yu Tongye said with a smile: "What fool, this is a natural general, as long as he doesn't die, he will have a great future."

"Why didn't you die?" Peng Hu didn't care, "Can't we run out of food?"

Food is saved again and again, but there will always be a day when they finish eating, just like what Peng Hu said, after eating, they fall into heat and hunger again.

Hunting became the most important thing, but the edible living creatures in the wilderness couldn't help opening their mouths so much, and soon disappeared.

Soldiers began to dig grass roots.

This place is full of white salt, and there are not many grass roots. After digging the grass roots, they grabbed a piece and chewed it carefully in their mouths. Swallow the roots.

Everyone was putting whatever food they could eat into their mouths, but the hunger continued to engulf no one.

Yin Xiao was also thinner than a bamboo pole, but with a bone frame on his back, he could still hold his long gun, carry the general flag on his back, and the number of patrols did not decrease.

He is also like the weeds on this land, as long as there is a little water and a little wind, he can survive.

He has become an ever-burning light in the dark. Only when he sees him patrolling back and forth carrying the general flag can others continue on this hopeless road.

Xi Zhang was in a coma more and less when he was awake. Lei Tong stayed with him all the time. As soon as he woke up, Lei Tong would feed him the paste made from grass roots, leaves, and bark. stuffed into his belly.

Peng Hu pouted his buttocks and dug the weed roots for four or five days, but he couldn't dig any more. He sat down on the salt floor, picked up a pinch of white salt, looked at the soil and sighed.

Yu Tongye came over clutching his stomach, and sat down beside him. He was too sunburned to see his face, but just sat down for a while, stood up again clutching his stomach, and walked behind the stone in the distance.

After doing this three times, his legs were so weak that he couldn't even walk, and he collapsed on the ground, unable to move.

Peng Hu helped him sit up and leaned against the rock: "Did you eat poisonous weed?"

Yu Tongye didn't have the strength to answer, he just wheezed and gasped, and after finally getting his breath even, he said: "Death by starvation or death by poison, I would rather die by poison."

Peng Hu picked the clods with his fingers: "That's right, I am envious of Ouyang, he died so happily, and he didn't suffer any crimes later."

Yu Tongye couldn't sit still, so he simply lay down on the ground, closed his eyes and meditated - the sunset was beautiful, and he didn't care to watch it.

"I'm not as good as Ouyang," he turned sideways, curled up, trying to make his stomach feel better, "I'm afraid of death, I'd rather die than him."

Penghu opened his eyes and looked at this piece of land. His eyes were full of white salt fields. They were like cattle and sheep, chewing everything that could be chewed. More than [-] Liao soldiers were sure to win. Surrounded by them, they charged forward Three times, all failed.

"I'm also afraid of death." He closed his eyes, and a thought had been turning in his mind for a long time. Every time he turned, his heart sank, and even his blood turned cold, "I'm not reconciled."

Yu Tongye squeezed out his strength and laughed: "That's right, it's hard to become a commander. If you don't enjoy a day's blessing, you will become a lonely ghost."

Peng Hu's voice lowered: "Those civil servants just sit in the chair and read a few sage books, and they can exploit the military pay and food that we were born to die. The more I think about it, the more I hate it. Why are we here? They starved to death here, and they ate delicacies from mountains and seas?”

Yu Tongye opened his closed eyes suddenly, sat up a little, and stared at Penghu: "Old Peng, you are getting a little bit angry."

Peng Hu lay down, avoiding Yu Tongye's gaze, "I'm about to die, so I can't have any grievances. I just have grievances, but I haven't done anything else yet."
