golden scales

"I really can't move, young master, let's go. I'll rest here, and I'll catch up with you after a while." The elderly man held his belly and squatted down slowly.

When the young man called Young Master turned his head, his eyes were staring with hunger.He said: "Uncle Cheng, bear with it any longer, and there is Feicheng ahead, and Tai'an to the east. I heard that the crown prince is in Tai'an." While speaking, he was also panting again and again. The hemp rope in the middle can make the waist as thick as the arm.

Uncle Cheng curled up, just panting, and didn't even have the strength to speak.

The old and the young froze in place, suddenly saw the bushes shaking, and the two immediately became alert.

A huge head parted the grass, looking at the old and the young with red eyes.

This was a man with scorched skin, he quickly emerged from the grass, his torso and limbs were extremely thin.He was holding tightly the iron blades of the plowshares, which were already covered with yellow rust spots.Judging from the way he bowed and stabbed, this should be his weapon.

The man glanced at the young man with a dirty face, then cast his eyes on the old man squatting on the ground again, approached with trembling steps, and murmured in his mouth: "Brother, you missed it, and I missed it, please save my life. "

Uncle Cheng was taken aback and tremblingly wanted to stand up.He was halfway up, but his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground.

The man didn't know where the strength came from, he threw himself on Uncle Cheng, waved the iron piece in his hand, and cut off Uncle Cheng's thigh.

"Don't cut me! I'm still hit!" Uncle Cheng squeezed out the last bit of strength and shouted loudly.

"You missed! Help me, save me!" The man said, drooling from his mouth, swallowing desperately.

The young man was taken aback, but his head finally came to his senses, and he staggered forward.He kicked the man in the shoulder. .

The man saw that there were only bones left in his body, but his strength was not weak, and he was clinging to Uncle Cheng.Mouth salivating everywhere.Seeing that the other party was being helped, he opened his mouth recklessly, a good novel:.Bite towards Uncle Cheng's leg.

Seeing that the man was about to eat him alive, Uncle Cheng was terrified, but he didn't have the strength to shout, and it was delusional to push the man away.

"Go to hell!" The young man finally summoned up all his strength, bent down, picked up a pile of dirt and rubbed it heavily on the man's head.

Tu Kela didn't drink water for some time, and didn't kill the man, but turned into dust.

The man was coughing and coughing from the ashes all over his head and face.He still said to himself: "I have eaten Guanyin soil, it is better than this, better than this..."

"After eating Guanyin soil, I will see Hades in three days. You can go at ease, don't harm us." The young man could hardly stand up, and crawled on the ground to push the man-eating monster on Uncle Cheng.

The man's face was dusty, and he opened his mouth to bite the young master.

The young man only felt his arms tighten, as if he was being firmly grasped.Exhausting all the strength in his body, he waved it desperately, and shouted: "I'm going to die, I'm going to die... It hurts..." His eyes turned black, as if he saw countless ghosts and ghosts rushing towards him.

Finally, the young man exhausted all his strength and fell to the ground on his back.The light was restored before the eyes, and the white clouds in the blue sky were like fine cotton wool.He didn't have the strength to struggle anymore, and let the monster bite his forearm.

After a while, the young man still didn't feel any pain in his forearm.With the little strength he had just recovered, he moved his arms lightly, the man's head tilted, and the cold saliva fell on the young man's skin.

he died.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, and let out a cooing laugh from his throat.He tried his best to turn his head and look at Uncle Cheng, and saw that Uncle Cheng's chest was still heaving. .

There is only a palm distance between the two, but it seems like the sky.

……

"...Pat him to wake up and see if he can still talk."

The violent shaking and distant sound woke up the young man lying on the ground.

A slap fell from the sky, almost knocking him out again.

The young man uttered a strange syllable that he couldn't understand from his throat, and he only felt that his chest and abdomen were in pain like a fire.

"Give him water," said a woman.

A thin jet of water fell on the young man's lips.

The young man gained some strength and opened his mouth, for fear of missing a drop.

"Hey, how long has that team been going?" the woman asked.

The young man tried his best to open his eyes, and in the sunlight, he saw the woman in the red dress riding on the flower horse.The sun shone behind her like a golden armor.

"I'm hungry..." The young man said weakly, "Please, give me a stutter."

The pinto horse under the woman's crotch snorted impatiently.

"Give him porridge." The woman finally said.

The young man struggled to half sit up and saw Uncle Cheng who had taken care of him since he was a child.

Green spots appeared on Uncle Cheng's exposed skin, and his face was a thick iron-blue color, distorted and ferocious, and he was no longer the familiar face in the past.

He turned his head away, and took a pottery shard from a man, which contained a light rotten paste and gave off a sour smell.

The young man didn't know where the strength came from, he snatched the pottery shard and put it into his mouth, gulping it down into his stomach, he felt a coolness fall from his throat into his stomach, and all the virtual fire on his body was extinguished.He stuck out his tongue again, and licked and licked the earthen pottery shard until it was clean before he put down the pottery shard, raised his head and asked, "Is there any more?"

"How long did that team go?" The woman didn't answer him, but asked back.

The young man stood up staggeringly, feeling dizzy for a while, and looking around, it seemed like a lifetime away.In the originally empty and uninhabited field, corpses of various postures were scattered around.

——When I passed out, it seemed that a lot of things happened here.

The young man shook his head slightly: "I don't know... I don't know how long I've been unconscious..."

The woman was not very disappointed.She doesn't mind what happened here, how many people died.She just accidentally caught a glimpse of a poor man who was about to die, and wanted to save his life from the bottom of her heart.However, in this world where people cannibalize you, as long as you have a little bit of kindness, you will be attacked by countless hungry ghosts and chewed to the bone.Only by beating yourself like cast iron can you survive.

Only then can people who can live live with them.

"Let's go!" the woman turned her horse's head and shouted to a group of ragged followers behind her.

The young man stood in the same place, fixedly watching the team of dozens of horses and hundreds of refugees, and seeing the word "red" written in black and white on the flag, he hurriedly chased after him: "Your Majesty, you are the Red Lady." ? Leave me alone! I can read and write! I only need a mouthful of food, and I will pay you back a hundred times in the future!"

The red lady didn't rein in her horse, she didn't turn her head, she just said loudly: "If you can keep up, you can live."

The young man took a deep breath, tightened the hemp rope around his waist, tried his best to separate his leaden legs, and chased the team, for fear of being left in this wilderness where there were only corpses and living corpses.

……

Huang Desu was wearing a newly-issued seventh-rank official uniform, black gauze on his head, and official boots. He sat on the upper seat and patted the table.

The crown prince ordered that Dezhou Wei be changed to Sanzhou, which belonged to Jinan Prefecture. Huang Desu also became the magistrate of this Sanzhou that may be abandoned at any time because of the "decree of committing crimes and making meritorious service".

Sitting opposite Huang Desu was his same-year Fang Dayou.Although the two only had a brief exchange at the Qionglin Banquet, they were brothers in the officialdom in the same year. This relationship instantly connected the two of them. It didn't matter that Huang Desu was the magistrate of Ming Dynasty, but this Fang Dayou was The surrender envoy of the Qing Dynasty.

This Fang Dayou is especially good at calligraphy, and the letter of worship is written in a flying and phoenix dance, which adds a lot of confidence.

Seeing Huang Desu's hesitation, Fang Dayou persuaded him nicely: "Brother Cong'an, at this moment, the only thing we can do is make a decision, how can we be hesitant?"

"Duke Yunsheng," Huang Desu called Fang Dayou's alias respectfully, and said, "Is this Eastern soldier really here to help Daming destroy the thieves?"

"That's natural!" Fang Dayou said firmly, and said: "The Nine Kings have announced to the world that the Eastern soldiers came here only for Emperor Ming to suppress the rebels, and did not move the people at all. Shandong's surrender to the Eastern Court is only a temporary plan. The Son of Heaven is still in court, and it is still my Ming Dynasty."

"In this way, there is no such thing as whether to surrender or not." Huang Desu said slowly: "Since Dongting has such a heart of loyalty, I, from all over Dezhou, will naturally follow orders and do my best to wipe out Ni Chuang."

Before Fang Dayou set off, he knew that the so-called "sweeping the rebellion and returning to the emperor's room" by the chieftain of the Qing Dynasty was originally intended to deceive children, and it could not stand up to scrutiny at all.

But well...

"Brother Cong An," Fang Dayou's face changed, "I'm afraid that when the Eastern soldiers come, they will not be able to distinguish loyal ministers from traitors, and all jade and stone will be destroyed. Isn't it wrong?"

Under absolute power, even if it is a poorer excuse, you can't help but believe it!
