In the dilapidated house, a little girl in ragged clothes gently held her mother's hand, her body and face were swollen everywhere, and her voice was somewhat indistinct:
"Mom, I'm so hungry..."
The bony woman gently held her wrist, tears streaming down:
"Sleep, ah, child, you won't be hungry when you fall asleep... When you wake up, Mom will cook you delicious food... Tell Mom, what do you want to eat?"
The little girl looked at the ceiling blankly, and after a long time, she whispered:
"I want to eat rice... a lot of rice. There is also meat, braised pork, a big piece, as big as the palm of your hand..."
The woman hugged her and said softly:
"Okay, mom promises you, mom promises you..."
The little girl closed her eyes heavily, and her breath gradually weakened until she stopped breathing for the last time, and she lost all strength to hold the woman's hand. Her body slowly turned cold, and the swelling all over her body gradually turned from purple-brown to black.
There is no food, everyone eats everything. Wild vegetables, bark, and bugs dug out of the ground, as long as they can be found, they will not be spared. Men in the prime of life can often still find some slightly better food, but orphans and widows like this can only pick up a little leftovers from others.
Some time ago, the little girl dug some scorpions from under the rock, roasted them and ate them. As a result, she suffered from abdominal pain first, followed by swelling all over her body. Most of the barefoot doctors in the village have been conscripted into the army. There are only a few people who don't understand.
The woman exchanged her body for some leftovers and fed it to her daughter, but that morsel of food couldn't even fill her daughter's stomach, and in the end it didn't make her a full ghost. The woman stood up unsteadily, and walked out the door, the sun above her head was shining brightly. She looked at the sun and saw that there was only darkness in front of her eyes. The sun blinded her eyes and she didn't respond, tears kept pouring out.
She smiled at the sun, smiled, and fell headlong to the ground.
There is nothing new under the sun.
These are just commonplace old news.
Under the mine, the supervisor's whip was swung at the bent slaves, and they kept yelling:
"Let's go! Hurry up, what are you dawdling about! Hurry up and dig mines, this month's quota can't be fulfilled, everyone will starve me for three days!"
In the army, someone hugged his biological brother who had a broken arm but could not be treated with tears in his eyes:
"Brother, hold on a little longer, after this battle is over, everyone will have something to eat..."
In the heavy rain, someone raised his head and shouted hysterically, with a mournful voice:
"Break the dike, break the dike again! Are you going to force us to death? What about the food in the field—"
In a corner of the dilapidated house, someone threw a human arm into the pot with a grinning grin, with a crazy smile on his face:
"Hey hey... don't blame me... If you don't kill you... everyone will starve to death..."
Orion in the village sat on a stone, looked at the bow and arrow that had accompanied him for half his life, and wiped away the dried tears on his face with calloused hands:
"There are no more beasts to call... the eggs have been hollowed out, there will be no more this year, no next year, and every year from now on, there will be nothing left on this mountain it's..."
There were very few people on the street, and the knocking on the door could be clearly heard.
Other territories, including the royal family of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom, ignored it.
Because this is too normal, there are too many territories other than Yunyang, including Tiancheng, that have developed into this situation. Baiyi Qingxiang Umi's strategy is that these broken territories should be divided up by those top-ranked territories. No matter what the result is, the lives of the people will be better. But this strategy has not been officially made public, and Yunyang's frontier army still has a certain deterrent force, so most of the territories are waiting for Yunyang's chaos to become more serious, so that their internal energy consumption will be seriously injured.
Bai Feng was drinking tea while reading the report on Yunyang.
Half of his energy was devoted to Yuxi City. After learning that Yuxi City had expanded its army to more than 50,000, he narrowed his eyes slightly, but didn't say much. He read part of Yunyang's report, but he wasn't very interested. Yunhai's rich environment and rich background determine that even if they have a few prodigal sons in power, they will have to lose at least two or three generations before they can lose their family property. What's more, from the current situation, apart from the genetic disease of blood cold, Yunhai Generations of lords are capable.
Elder Hualong, the counselor next to Baifeng, stared at the report for a long time, until Baifeng asked him what he was looking at, Elder Hualong frowned, and said hesitantly:
"It seems that something is missing... By the way, there is no movement of the rebel army."
A look of shock suddenly appeared on the hale and hearty old man Hualong's face, and there was deep puzzlement between his brows, and he muttered to himself quickly:
"It shouldn't be... It stands to reason that they would not miss such a good opportunity. Those people can come out of the Great Barren Mountain, start to develop from here, support the puppet regime to control Yunyang, and use this as the foundation to make plans. But from now According to the report, there is no trace of them behind Yunyang. Why did this happen, and what are they planning?"
Bai Feng put the teacup in his hand on the table, thought for a while, and said:
"The dark organization of the rebel army is not very powerful. Most of the time, they play their cards. As long as the anger of the people is stirred up, it can form a wave like a storm. Therefore, there is no such thing as our people's misjudgment. The uprising Jun really planned to give up Yunyang from the very beginning."
After reading the report, the old man Hualong put a stack of documents on the table and shook his head:
"It just doesn't make sense..."
Bai Feng smiled and said:
"There, many things are not reasonable. The rebel army must have their reasons for abandoning Yunyang, so let's continue reading. According to our information, some time ago, Yuxi City allowed the Church of the Abyss to preach there. This is the first time since the establishment of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom It happened once. Although it has not been made public on a large scale, once it gets out, it will inevitably cause the traditional temple to suppress it recklessly. The rebel army...maybe they don’t want to get burned.”
The old man Hualong sighed slightly. He didn't think it was the reason Baifeng said, but he also couldn't understand the reason why the rebel army abandoned Yunyang. The rumored genius boy Huangyan should never have made such a mistake. Throughout the history of the development of the rebel army, it is said that the leader of the rebel army who just turned eighteen not long ago made many mistakes, but he was always correct in his major decisions. This is the most terrifying thing about him.
Old man Hualong felt that he was starting to lose his clarity about the situation in the world.
But there is one thing he knows.
If the rebel army did not intend to interfere with Yunyang's affairs, the chaos in Yunyang would not last long.
