Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1278 He knows, what is the most advantageous weapon?
No one believed this.

How could someone who has been chasing him for so long appear so easily?
"Are you dazzled?"

"That's right! He must have fainted from hunger! That's why he had hallucinations!"

"I'm not lying to you! Look over! He's on the top of the mountain ahead!"

Everyone looked at the top of the mountain not far away, and sure enough there was a person standing there.

The morning light slowly rose from behind him, and his face with his back to the light looked blurry.

And his appearance caused many of the corvees who had not completely given up on sacrificing him to sit up in shock.

They looked at each other, and after a brief moment of shock, they suddenly rushed towards him.

"He's right here! What are you waiting for!"

"catch him!"

"catch him!"

The rest of the people looked at each other and pounced on him.

one person.

Two people.

Three people.

……

group of people.

"catch him!"

"Don't let him go!"

"..."

Their faces were twisted and ferocious, and they screamed angrily.

That whole body was full of murderous intent, and his eyes were red.

It was as if their long-suppressed fate had finally found an object to vent to.

And the so-called mountain god's punishment became the reason for them to vent their hatred wantonly.

They would rather believe in the mountain gods and have no doubts about it than dare to think about the reason why they have lived a miserable life of oppression for a long time.
Don't they know the oppression of the imperial court?
Don't they understand the devastation behind the scourge of war?
Don’t they know that natural disasters have nothing to do with man-made disasters?
They all know it!
But there are soldiers in the court, and they dare not resist!

The war is deadly, and not everyone has the determination to risk their lives to defend their homeland.

Therefore, they can only believe in gods and Buddhas, blame their suffering on the injustice of fate, and place their hopes on the gods who have never saved them.

Then, they direct their anger at the weak who they can ravage at will.

As for Meng Ziang, he was just an unlucky guy who became the target of venting his hatred after being provoked by someone with intentions.

"kill him!"

"Kill him and everything will be over!"

"kill!"

With red eyes, they raised sticks and stones and charged menacingly towards Meng Ziang, who was alone.

Looking at the menacing people, Meng Ziang's face showed neither sadness nor joy.

These years of being on the run have already allowed him to see the darkness of human nature.

Facing the overwhelming murderous intent and anger, he was not timid.

He just stood silently, and when the people were getting closer and closer, he calmly raised his hand and pointed to the other side.

There, there was a group of people pushing a trolley slowly towards this side.

How could the red-eyed corvee care about his actions?

They didn't stop, but their eyes became even fiercer!
It seemed as if in the next moment, he, the weak one, would be crushed like an ant!
At this moment, a scent of fragrance hit my nostrils.

"What is this?"

"Where does that smell come from!"

"Yes……"

The taste was very ordinary, it was thick white porridge with the aroma of rice.

It was rich and tangy, stimulating their hungry souls and spreading their appetite to the extreme.

Someone shouted excitedly:
"It's porridge! It tastes like rice porridge!"

"Rice porridge!"

In this way, the anger that seemed to be able to annihilate humanity was suppressed by this ordinary and refreshing fragrance.

They stopped at the last moment and looked at Meng Ziang in surprise.

Meng Ziang pointed to the dozens of carts being pushed over and said calmly:
"Eat the food first. After you are full, we will settle the matter between us. I will wait here and not go anywhere."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person pushing the cart stopped the cart and opened the lid of the barrel on the cart.

A stronger fragrance hit my nostrils.

Everyone seemed to have seen that the thick and greasy porridge was filled with crystal clear and full rice grains.

The corvee couldn't help but swallow his saliva. But they didn’t dare to believe Meng Ziang’s words.

They have only been hungry for a day or two, and they are not going to risk their lives just for this stutter.

So, someone stood up at this time:

"Disaster! What the hell are you trying to do?!"

"Are you trying to poison us?"

"You scourge! You must not have good intentions! We won't be fooled by you!"

"..."

Meng Ziang said nothing and stood there silently.

At this moment, the person pushing the cart scooped out the porridge from the pottery bowl placed aside and began to drink it in large gulps.

They drank with gusto and made a feasting noise.

Just the taste and the sound of eating can make a hungry person fascinated.

But the corvee still persisted and did not dare to eat.

Meng Ziang spoke: "You can beat me to death now, and then be brought to justice by the garrison. You must know that leaving your place of service without permission is a capital crime and will harm your family."

"But you can also choose. After a full meal, we can talk calmly to find out the problem and find a solution."

Hearing what he said, some of the laborers started to move.

But they still didn't dare to act rashly, for fear of falling into a trap, and they couldn't trust the person they were chasing.

They were supposed to be noisy, but suddenly fell into silence.

It was an extreme struggle in the heart and a violent conflict in the soul, which caused a temporary loss of the ability to distract from speech.

"boom!"

However, at this time.

A thin young boy dropped the stone in his hand.

Everyone was awakened by the "loud noise" and unanimously focused their attention on him.

The young boy was trembling with fear and his voice was choked with sobs.

He didn't say much, but just uttered two words in an extremely hoarse and frightened voice.

"I'm hungry……"

After saying that, without waiting for anyone to react, he rushed to the cart, quickly scooped a bowl full of porridge from the big wooden bucket, and then drank it with a "bang bang bang" gulp while holding the bowl.

His undeveloped Adam's apple was rolling violently.

And his eyes were choked with tears falling down his cheeks because he ate too fast.

But he didn't stop eating.

I drank one bowl and then several bowls at a very fast speed.

Until he couldn't stand up anymore, he sat directly on the ground, leaning on the trolley and covering his stomach, and burped several times with satisfaction.

"It tastes so good... I have never had a full meal since I can remember."

The boy's behavior was like a sharp knife cutting through a bag full of soybeans.

The beans that were unwilling to be restrained were poured out in an instant.

"I'm hungry too!"

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

"..."

With a few crackling sounds, more and more people put down their "weapons".

They rushed to the porridge cart and scrambled to grab the porridge.

After a while, each of the corvees lay down contentedly.

There are also a few empty trolleys.

Can the remaining people still persist?

Not only would he not be able to eat if he persisted, but he would also face being captured and executed.

As a result, the defense in their hearts was completely defeated, and they went from being irrational people to slaves of appetite.

Meng Ziang looked at this scene, his eyes still showed no sadness or joy.

He knows very well what is the real "weapon" to deal with these poor people at the bottom.

For what were roots and bark in those dark, starving days of the past?
In order to satisfy his hunger, he ate countless earthworms mixed with mud!
He also ate a lot of rotten dead rats.

Therefore, the corvee was defeated without a fight.

But from his bloodless face, it can be seen that the corvee is not a real opponent. During the time when the corvee was chasing him, he experienced real danger.
