Jinyi Night Walk

"Where are you? Where are you? Where did you hide my beauty?"

The little beauty went to the coffin shop, chose a coffin with a medium preference, and asked the shop assistant to help restrain the person, and finally chose some candles and silver darts, and asked the servants to hold it, suddenly a little shy When she got up, she whispered to Peng Hanwen that she was a little anxious and wanted to make it easier, but Mr. Peng would not allow it.

The little beauty was led to the back yard by the coffin shop guy, and when she came to the back door, she even glanced back, the charming charm made Peng Hanwen's heart ache, standing there had a good aftertaste, really ecstasy.

It's a pity that this ecstasy lasted a little longer, and finally he found out that it was just a dream, and the beauty disappeared without a trace.

"Young master, don't be bloody. My Liu's coffin shop is a serious business run by decent people. This is not a black shop. The little lady said she was in a hurry and wanted to borrow my toilet. Can I not? She ran away and locked me up. Old Liu's shit. Here, this is the filial piety she took off, I give it back to you!", a ball of white silk was thrown into Dong Hanwen's arms by the coffin shop owner. Find that little bitch for me, I want to record her skin!"

"Wait!", the owner of the coffin shop rolled his eyes, the dark eyes disappeared, only the whites remained: "Where's the money?" Mr. Dong said angrily, "I've been cheated, didn't you see? Return the coffin to you!"

"Fart, you can return the coffin? Thanks to you being a scholar, this coffin can also be returned? Besides, isn't your lord already paid for it, and if you take it out again, what are you talking about?", "That's not my father!", "I don't care if he is your father or your grandfather" If you don't pay, you can't leave. "," Damn it!Damn!You dog slaves, do you just watch me being humiliated, son?Call me! ", "Oh, you're still reasonable" You are the only one, guys, come out with all your homework, and the one who sleeps in the overlord's coffin is here!" When Peng Hanwen and the coffin shop owner scuffled into a ball, a small hat in Tsing Yi It seems that the handsome boy of a rich family has appeared in a grain and rice shop a few streets away, and said sweetly and crisply: "Shop, buy rice."

This person is naturally the little beauty who "sold her body to bury her father" just now, that is, the eccentric Xie Yuli. She was carried into the city by a cart and separated from Peng Ziqi. Once the cart entered the city, the passengers on the cart went their separate ways. She had no choice but to find her own place. The money was on Peng Ziqi's body, only the clothes of the two of them were in her hands, and "she had nothing else."

How to survive in the city?

Xie Yuli's only property is a bag of clothes. She kept a set of men's clothes and a set of women's clothes in this bag, and sent the rest to the pawn shop. She tore off a piece of white cloth to make mourning clothes "Deduct the meal money for these two days" and the remaining money was given to the relatives of the deceased.

Because of the fear of the plague "Once a person dies in the city, according to Lord Tie's order, they will be cremated in a centralized manner, and the family who fled should have their bodies handed over for centralized processing." Now you can exchange some food money, how can you not agree? ?Thus, the scene at the gate of Peng's mansion happened.

Xie Yuli also thought about the problem of eating in the future, and she thought about it earlier than Xia Bi.

Maybe it's because Xie Yuli has done some dangerous business since she was a child. Xie Yuli has a very strong sense of crisis. After entering the city, she took all her family property... When she walked into the pawn shop with that bag of clothes, she didn't think about how to spend the past two days. , but how to live as long as possible than others.

When Xia Xun was carrying bags of rice to Changchun Temple, Xie Yukai also took the food away in small bags and hid them in the hiding place she had found.She didn't leave any money, and she didn't want to make money from refugees in Jinan City. As soon as the Yan army withdrew, she would leave immediately.If Yan Jun didn't leave, then the most valuable thing in this city would be food, so why would she keep the money?

War has nothing to do with justice or injustice. No matter how passionate, magnificent, magnificent and bizarre you describe it, its essence is always cold-blooded and cruel, and its purpose is to kill life.

Xie Xie is like a vigilant groundhog. When thousands of creatures are still carefree, she has already smelled the danger and started to work hard to survive...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After two months of siege, food became more expensive than golden beans, and the city of Jinan was full of starvation and desolation.

On the street, a woman held up a green jade bracelet and shouted loudly: "If I have a rotten head, I will change it for a veil! Who will change me for a rotten head?"

Someone changed it, and the woman just took a bite of the steamed bun, when a dirty little hand stretched out from the side, grabbed the steamed bun and ran away.

"Give it back to me, my steamed bun!" After chasing it not far away, the woman collapsed to the ground with all her strength, and could only cry on the ground...

In the alley, the door of a house was closed tightly, and a thin child slapped the door knocker weakly. After a long time, the door opened a crack, which was still tied with an iron chain, and a middle-aged man came out from the crack. His face looked better than the children outside, but like many refugees on the street, his face was blank, with only his eyes, staring at the little boy outside as if examining a prisoner.

The little boy stretched out his thin and frail arms, and begged: "Old uncle, my father and mother are starving to death..., old uncle, please give me a stutter, just one bite, just one bite."

The middle-aged man said coldly: "Here, what shall we eat?"

With a "bang", the door closed, and the little boy knocked weakly a few times, and walked back in despair. After walking not far, he fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

No one looked at him, and the people on the street were like walking dead. There were too many similar scenes. People often walked and stuck their heads on the ground and couldn’t get up again. People’s fear and fear from the beginning are now commonplace , Even sleeping next to the dead body, I have no feeling at all, hunger hardens people's hearts like alas... "..., all commanded the Si Yamen, Sheng Yong, Tie Suo, Gao Wei and other officials sat upright, one by one The complexion is dignified, and the atmosphere in the hall is extremely depressing.

Gao Wei, who had joined the army, finished reporting the statistics of casualties, sighed long and folded his hands together, and said in a deep voice: "The Yan army has attacked the city for more than two months, and the defenders suffered heavy casualties. Food in the city is limited. Officers and soldiers only ate one meal a day, and it was all coarse grains, vegetables, beans, noodles, etc., their physical strength was weak, and the number of sick people was increasing day by day, and fewer and fewer soldiers could fight."

Sheng Yong asked Tiesuo, "Now, how much food is left in the treasury?"

Tiesuo said with a heavy face, "The surplus food in the treasury can still be used by our officers and soldiers for three months, but... this is calculated according to the current daily meal consumption."

Sheng Yong took a long breath, strangled his wrist and said: "Lack of soldiers and food, the peripheral soldiers and horses have not been able to attack the Yan army enough to pose a threat so far, and I don't know how long the Yan army will want to besiege the city. Two adults, do you have any questions?" What's your suggestion?"

Gao Wei said: "My lord, the defenders at the top of the city alone are no longer able to defend the city. Now, we must gather the young and strong in the city, even women and children, to go to the city to help in the battle. Defending the city is different from marching and fighting. As long as you have the strength, you can move If you don’t have the strength to move the rolling wood and rocks, you can always do it. But if you want to recruit people, you have to take care of their food. Our current surplus..."

After saying this, the brilliance in Sheng Yong's eyes dimmed for a while, and the three of them fell silent again.

It took a long time before Tie Pin said in a deep voice: "I have been patrolling the city these days, and I found that more and more people in the city have starved to death because they have nothing to eat. It just stopped, and the street patrol team and cleaning team composed of ordinary people also stopped a long time ago, and now the city is full of hunger and death, and the stench is suffocating."

He smiled wryly and continued: "Everyone is so hungry that they can't walk, how can they have the energy to do things for you? My lords, if this goes on, the only result will be that the whole city will be ruined and everything will be destroyed. Therefore, I thought of a As a last resort..."..."

Sheng Yong and Gao Wei raised their heads together and looked at him urgently: "Master Tie, please speak!"

Tie Pin slowly said: "There is only one way to keep it going, that is to concentrate the food for the soldiers and civilians in the city, arrange and distribute it in a unified way, and give priority to the soldiers."

Gao Wei said blankly: "How much difference is there between this and now?"

Iron Lock said in a deep voice: "Yes! Many wealthy gentry and big families have a lot of food hidden in their homes. If they are all searched for military use, then Mr. Gao can recruit young and strong men to defend the city. In order to have something to eat, the common people You must be willing to go up the city wall."

Gao Wei said: "But now, what about the people who can't defend the city?"

Tie Xuan said: "Drive out of the city. If those families who don't want to defend the city will send them out of the city, if they don't want to defend the city, they are fighting with the army for food." Sheng Yong frowned slightly. Said: "I'm afraid..." The King of Yan will not do what I want. Once the people are sent out of the city, the King of Yan will understand our intentions. If he refuses to let them go, what should we do? To blame, but to make the elders of Jinan die under the city? "

Tears welled up in Tie Pin's eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "No matter how miserable it is, it is rare to be as miserable as Suiyang Zhang Xun? In order to defend the city, General Zhang Xun even killed his concubine. They were all killed and used as army rations, so is he willing to slaughter the people? He did this only because as long as Suiyang is defended, even if the city is destroyed, the country can be preserved."

Speaking of this, there was a blade-like chill in the tears, and his voice became cold, as hard as iron: "Jinan, which runs through the north and the south, once it falls into Yanni, it will increase Yanni's momentum, and he will have it." To counter the imperial court's huge capital, so no matter how great the sacrifice is, the city of Jinan must not be lost! If a small number of people die, the majority will be saved! Is it not worth destroying Jinan for the emperor to save thousands of miles of land for the emperor? We swore Yes, I swear to live and die with Jinan, even if all the soldiers and civilians in Jinan are killed in battle, it is worth it to force Yanni back, this is the righteousness!"

Looking at Sheng Yong and Gao Wei, Tiesuo said again: "Refugees may be blocked by King Yan from leaving the city, but once he stops the refugees from leaving the city, he will definitely be stigmatized for the death of innocent refugees! Staying in the city is just Delaying the death of the entire city and driving them out of the city may give them a chance, but now, we can only compare with Yan Ni!"

Sheng Yong asked, "Compared to what?"

Tie Xuan said word by word: "Be more ruthless than anyone else!"! ~!
