Hengdao Sixteen Kingdoms

Chapter 3 Brothers
At night, there is a cool breeze.

Suddenly the howling of wolves increased.

A dwarf with a donkey's face dangled in front of Li Yue, his gaze seemed to be examining the beast that was about to be castrated by him.

Li Yue was really flustered, he couldn't take a joke...

But Donkey Wang has already brought a basin of water and is sharpening his knife, "Don't be afraid, brother donkey, my handicraft is well-known all over the world, click once, and you won't feel anything when I keep you safe."

"Brother donkey, you and I have no enmity in the past life and we have no grievances in this life. Can you let my brother go? There will be rewards in the future." Li Yue swallowed.

Not afraid of death, but really afraid of this thing...

"Little brother, why are you so ignorant? If I let you go, I won't be able to live, brother donkey. If you want to blame, you can blame yourself. You really treat this Jijiabao as a Buddhist temple, and don't even think about it. The fort is as stable as Mount Tai, how can it be so easy to get along with? Besides, your Heiyunshan family is not the only one who has made plans for Jijiabao. You see, over the years, the surrounding villages have changed one after another. Isn't Jijiabao still good? "Wang Lvzi opened the chat box and tried the gelding knife in his hand.

"Jijiabao is really so powerful, there is no need to bow to Jienu." Li Yue wanted to delay as much as possible.

But Donkey Wang had already come over with the dagger, "That's the business of the dock masters. Don't blame Brother Donkey for my cruelty. I will recognize him when he falls into your hands."

After speaking, he went to untie Li Yue's shirt.

Li Yue struggled vigorously, but his whole body was tightly bound and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that his trousers were about to be ripped off, Li Yue still couldn't help but howled to the sky, letting out a shrill wolf howl.

The loud voice made Donkey Wang startled, but it also aroused his fierceness, "If you howl again, your tongue will be cut off!"

Strange to say, after Li Yue howled out, the howling of wolves immediately sounded outside the castle one after another.

And getting closer and closer, alarming the guards on the dock.

The torches lit up immediately, and from time to time, one or two loud arrows were shot out of the city, trying to disperse the wolves.

The most ruthless thing in this world is not a tiger or a leopard, but a wolf.

In groups, they are both cruel and evil, and they also hold grudges.

Wang Lvzi can be regarded as a person who has seen strong winds and waves. Knowing that it is not too late, he stretched out his hand to pick Li Yue's pants.

But at this moment, a black object suddenly fell from the beam on the left side, and by coincidence, it hit Wang Donkey's donkey's face.

"Who!" Donkey Wang picked up the honing knife, bounced it off the ground, and wiped his face, only to find that it was just a piece of dirt.

In the darkness, a person stood on the eaves.

The slender figure cast a long black shadow on the ground, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his eyes shone faintly with fluorescent light like the moon in the sky.

"You can't touch this person." The voice was low and gentle.

The leaves rustled in the night wind, and the howls of wolves outside the castle became more desolate and sad, one after another.

The scene seemed to freeze.

Jijiabao is very large. It is said that it was built during the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Han Dynasty. After 200 years of operation, it is almost a small town.

People from nearby often come to avoid chaos, and it is not difficult to mix in one or two people.

"So what if I move?" Donkey Wang clenched his knife tightly, licked his lips, and took a step forward, like a leopard with a bowed back, and the atmosphere tensed instantly.

Li Yue saw this momentum, and knew that Wang Luzi must also be the one rolling on the tip of the knife.

But these days, who doesn't play with his head on his crotch?

The humanity on the eaves said: "Then we can only die forever."

There is no gentleness in the voice, only cold, chilling.

Seeing that the situation was about to explode, Wang Lvzi suddenly cupped his hands, "Farewell!"

Then, he disappeared into the night without looking back, leaving Li Yue stunned in the night wind for a long time.

"You can't let him go, he will call someone!" Li Yue roared.

The black shadow lightly jumped down from the roof beams and landed firmly on the ground. It was the second brother Cui Jin in memory, "It's okay, they don't have time to care about you."

Li Yue recalled the way the original owner spoke in his memory, "Second brother, you are late."

"Third brother, you are too impolite. How can I say that it is the second brother who saved you, so I can't be more respectful?" Cui Jin smiled slightly, and his whole face exuded a unique charm under the moonlight.

Li Yue suddenly had an illusion that Ji Yinger's face was not as exquisite as this one, "I am from a commoner family, and I am not as good as your Qinghe Cui family."

"Third brother is wrong to say that." Cui Jin looked lonely, pulled out the long sword at his waist, swung it lightly, and the rope on Li Yue's body was broken.

Li Yue stood up, but felt weak all over, and his stomach growled.

From last night to tonight, I haven't had any water or rice, and I didn't feel it when I was tied up, but now that I'm free, I feel weak all over.

food……

Since February this year, it has been raining continuously and the Yellow River has flooded, and half of Xingyang has turned into Zeguo.

The famine has only just begun, and if spring plowing is delayed, more people will starve to death...

God, this is no way for people to live.

Life on the mountain is not easy either, food has long been scarce. Since last month, each person can only drink two bowls of porridge a day, dizzy from hunger, otherwise they would not go down the mountain to ask Jijiabao to "borrow food".

Of course it is not a real borrowing of food, but Li Yue is in the open, Cui Jin is in the dark, probing the reality of Jijiabao...

While thinking about it, there was a sudden commotion outside, and the defenders on the city yelled wildly: "Bandits! Bandits have attacked the city!"

Then there were torch lights everywhere, the castle was in chaos, young and strong men and women came out.

"Let's find something to eat first." Li Yue knew it was a bluff without even looking at it. Jijiabao was so strong that it was difficult to break through.

It's rare to come here, and I'm sorry for my suffering if I don't eat and drink enough.

The young and strong have all gone to defend the city wall, but the inside of Wubao is empty.

With the help of the two, they fumbled from house to house.

Grain is more valuable than gold these days. Thirty or forty armored men guard the front of the granary, their eyes wider than lanterns.

After searching and tossing for more than an hour, I found no food, only a rusty kitchen knife.

Looking at the rusty kitchen knife, Li Yue felt that the future was as bleak as this knife, and he didn't know if he could leave alive.

Even if he got out of Jijiabao alive, he would starve to death without food.

Just when I was discouraged, I suddenly smelled a smell of meat.

Li Yue thought he was hallucinating.

Cui Jin, who was lying on the side, suddenly sat up, with a green light in his eyes, "Third brother, did you smell it?"

"Meat!" Li Yue turned up from the ground and picked up the rusty kitchen knife, only feeling strength coming from his whole body.

Follow the smell and touch it.

Li Yue only felt like a beast controlled by hunger, with only one thought in his mind - to eat meat.

If she was a wild beast, then Cui Jin would be more like a starving ghost, rolling and crawling, stumbling and groping towards the place where the fragrance came from.

In a room with a faint fire, the sound of "cuckoo" when the broth is boiling can be heard clearly, and the aroma is overflowing.

The voice seemed strange in the quiet night.

Although I was hungry, my sanity was not completely lost. There was no one in such a dark place, so where did I get the broth?

It is difficult for ordinary people to even eat a bite of chaff, let alone meat, unless...

Li Yue felt nauseous for a while.

Cui Jin didn't care, and rushed in directly.

Li Yue wanted to stop him but it was too late, he shouted: "Be careful!"

As soon as the words fell, a cold light came oncoming in the room.
