Infrastructure: I survive in troubled times

Chapter 10 Night Blindness

"Miss Hong, you said the wheat! It's harvested, and as soon as the wheat was put into the warehouse, the Yidi came around." Chen Zhongyuan said angrily again, sighing heavily, "I'm afraid it won't be able to grow this autumn."

"As I see it, those barbarians came only after we had harvested the wheat."

"If you can survive, eating and drinking will also be a big problem in the future."

Saying this, the mood dropped again, and for a while the quiet needle falling in the dark room could be heard.

When Hong Lianshuo heard the words, his black eyes flashed slightly and said, "Speaking of this, when you leave the city, have you thought of a good place to go?"

"This country is gone, and wherever I go, I will depend on others." Chen Zhongyuan murmured in a heavy nasal voice.

"Is there no relatives to defect to?" Hong Lianshuo said in surprise, "Didn't Hu Bing send his family out before he besieged the city? You should have better information than the people in the city!"

"The barbarians suddenly attacked, and there was no news beforehand. The soldiers came to the city to find out." Chen Zhongyuan gritted his teeth and said, "Don't talk about us, the big families in this city didn't send their families out."

"Is there no reinforcements?" Hong Lianshuo suddenly remembered and asked again, "The emperor did not order someone to come to Beijing to rescue him."

The cheap husband of the natives is a strong man who was arrested. Once he left, there was no news, and his life and death were unknown.

"All the people who went out to rescue were intercepted and killed by Yi Di." Chen Zhongyuan angrily beat his chest and said hopefully, "It would be great if we could bring in the rescuers."

"The people who went out to rescue the soldiers have gone out with a near-death experience. You are sure that they will really come." Hong Lianshuo said with a cold look in his eyes.

"What do you mean?" Chen Zhongyuan's big copper-bell-like eyes were full of confusion.

"I will not be subject to the orders of foreign troops." Hong Lianshuo sneered softly.

"No, that's the emperor." Chen Zhongyuan said immediately after hearing the words.

"Hey..." Hong Lianshuo rolled his eyes gracefully and asked again kindly, "Then how did His Majesty the Emperor die?" His words were full of irony.

"Uh..." Chen Zhongyuan was silenced by her, how did the emperor die?He was killed by the Great Sima, the Prime Minister, and the Great General.

Offered the emperor's head, opened the gates and surrendered.It just didn't occur to them that they could not escape the fate of being slaughtered if they put down the weapons in their hands.

When the barbarians entered the city, they looted and slaughtered frantically.

"Bloodthirsty, debauched, and unpopular." Hong Lianshuo's black eyes condensed into frost, and his voice was as cold as ice slag.

"The sage said: Get more help, lose little help!" Chen Zhongyuan immediately echoed the words.

Hong Lianshuo's black eyes widened, Mencius' famous words!

"Let's stop thinking about it for now. Let's go out of the city first." Chen Zhongyuan said anxiously, "Otherwise, we will starve to death if we don't get caught by the barbarians."

"You are familiar with the topography of the city, it's getting late now, let's go." Hong Lianshuo tapped his thigh with his index finger, "Can anyone of you draw a topographic map of the city?"

"This..." Chen Zhongyuan scratched his head and said, "We don't know a single big character, let alone drawing."

"Isn't it possible?" Hong Lianshuo asked again with hope. The nobles and the commoners were of distinct levels, and the inner city could go in except for her carrying her corpse. Don't think about it at other times.

That is, there is a designated route to enter the inner city, and if you dare to walk around at will, your life will be lost.

"No," they said in unison.

"There is no picture, I know the way, and I will lead the way." Chen Zhongyuan patted his chest and said, "I have traveled all over this outer city, and I can't go wrong in every corner."

"Then let's go now!" Hong Lianshuo stood up and hugged his son and said.

"No way! Madam Hong, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow you."

"Me too!" Someone said one after another.

"What's wrong?" Hong Lianshuo asked in confusion, "This weapon, military uniform, and military blanket... If this person goes there, he can't carry it back! We might have to kill him when we leave the city at night."

"Miss Hong, you misunderstood. It's not that we didn't go, but that we couldn't see it."

"It's like we're going blind this evening."

Night blindness, Hong Lianshuo heard these three words in his head, caused by malnutrition.

"I'm afraid I'll never get better in this life."

The panic spread, "Isn't it really blind!"

"No, no." Hong Lianshuo hurriedly said after hearing the words.

"How does Mrs. Hong know not?" Chen Zhongyuan said eagerly, like ants on a hot pot, "I can't see anything now!"

"In the dark room, you can't see five fingers, and no one can see it." Hong Lianshuo said angrily, "You open the secret door."

"Oh!" Chen Zhongyuan turned around and touched the secret door to open the door. He walked outside, the crescent moon was like a hook in the sky, and these Xu Guangliang, "But I see things blurry."

Hong Lianshuo was really convinced, "It's night, not day, you can see people clearly."

"I can't see, I can't see."

"I can't see either."

One after another, some people said that they could not see, and they were so anxious that they almost cried.

"It was Yi Di who poisoned the water!"

"It's over, this life is over."

"What's the point of living when you're blind!"

Chen Zhongyuan hurriedly said, "We all eat the same food and drink the same water, I'm fine, you must be fine. I'm sure there's no poisoning." He hurriedly said, "It's fine during the day, just watch it at night if you can't see it. I can't see you! Who will come out at night!"

Saying this calmed everyone's flustered hearts.

"But I can't see it at night, and maybe I can't see it during the day one day."

Worry sounded again, and my heart was always afraid!

"No!" Hong Lianshuo said firmly, his eyes were deep and soft, like the endlessly inclusive stars in the sky.

"Why is Mrs. Hong so sure? Do you know what's going on?" Chen Zhongyuan looked at her figure in the dark with big copper-bell-like eyes.

"I know! You guys are sick! Simply put, you're hungry." Hong Lianshuo's warm and calm voice calmed their restless hearts.

"Hungry?" The surprise in everyone's voice was undisguised.

"Think about it, before Hu Bing attacked, did you have such a situation?" Hong Lianshuo asked patiently and carefully.

"No, no, you can see it with a lantern."

"Later, the food became less and less. In the second half of the month, there was one meal a day, or even no meal at all."

"Drinking porridge every day, not even a dish."

"I can't even see the lantern this night, so I didn't dare to make a sound. I'm afraid I'll get out of here."

"I'm very hungry, and my whole body is swollen!" Hong Lianshuo said gently, "When you escape, you'll be full, and you'll be fine."

"That's good, that's good!" They finally let go of their hearts.

"It's bad, it's bad." Chen Zhongyuan looked at Hong Lianshuo in horror and said.
