Chapter 161: Eat Me

(I have to write a dull article in the previous chapter, because if I don’t do this, I can’t write Woniu Mountain and Lu Shi’s righteousness of relief in my heart)

The brother who was conducting the patrol at that time saw this woman and the child in his arms, was not only sad but also sad.

What kind of mother and daughter is this?

The woman who was so dry that she had no flesh was almost here. When winter was coming, she only had cotton wool on her body, hunched over, leaned on a wooden stick, held a broken bowl, and had a child like a cat in her arms. She had no sound at all. She could only realize that the child was still alive in the occasional blinking of her eyes.

The mother and daughter slowly walked out of the street with smoke in the west city, regardless of patrol or vicious poles, and moved forward slowly. Her goal was the city gate. In his opinion, when he walked out of the city gate, it was a world, and it was the hope that the mother and daughter could survive. Living was the hope of temporarily living.

Li Er, who was on the patrol, saw the mother and the mother, and used to dismount, stopped them from moving forward, and said kindly: "Sister-in-law, Mizhi is now in a curfew and cannot go out."

The woman looked at Li Er blankly with her godless eyes, as if there was nothing in front of her. Then she murmured blankly: "June, I won't let you go to the streets anymore, I won't let you go to the streets anymore, what should we do?"

Li Er was silent.

"If you don't let go to the street, you won't let beg, and you won't even let beg. Then what should I do? What should you do if you let me?" He still murmured, then slowly squatted down and held the dead child in front of his chest. He opened his heart shamelessly and stuffed the shriveled ** into the mouth of the child who had almost no consciousness.

There was no milk there, and the child just subconsciously sucked it. The woman just looked at it and murmured, "His grandfather was arrested by the government. There was no news. My mother-in-law died. I had no money to bury it, so I buried it with the cotton wool she had covered for the rest of her life. The child's father was recruited by the government and went outside the pass last year. I had no choice but to sleep with the only brother-in-law. Why? I was thinking of leaving a flame for the old Li family? I won't let the Li family die, but the day before yesterday, my brother-in-law, my current husband, was once again wrapped up as a pole. I died. What I said before leaving was that the pole head agreed to give one hundred taels of silver when he died. This is enough for our mother to live in a wave of life. That's for life, but when he died, the promised pension was gone."

All the brothers stopped and got off the horse in the murmur. In the colder and cold wind, they looked at the skinny woman, holding the dying child, squatting there and murmuring to themselves.

"The money I worked hard is gone, my thatched house was burned, and my mother and I have nothing left. Now we have to beg for food, go to other places, even if there is a little bit of living."

However, with a look of disappointment on his face, he looked carefully at the dying child in his arms, and continued to murmur: 'But Jun Ye said it was a curfew and we were not allowed to leave. The child had been eating for three days and was about to starve to death. The incense of the root seedlings of the Li family was about to be cut off in my hands. Oh my God, my father-in-law, my husband, my little brother, I am a sinner--"

Holding the child in his arms tightly, stretching his neck, pushing his face upwards, his messy hair and his shriveled mouth, wailing at Changtian, and screaming at the top of his lungs. "Oh my God, give me a way to live, and give the old Li family, the family who worships you devoutly for generations, and a way to continue the incense of ancestors--"

Dozens of brothers were crying in front of this woman, and were at a loss in front of this woman.

Where is the way to live? By the way, in the picturesque world that the military advisor said, the military advisor said that as long as we fight, we will have a way to live.

The woman suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly fell on her knees like crazy, and rushed to the dull Woniushan brothers: "I want me, I want me, just a little food, just keep my daughter alive, just keep my Li family a little incense, even if you cook me now and eat me, I will be willing. Jun Ye, please——”

Everyone took a step back silently and took another step until their bodies had already leaned against the wall and had no choice but to retreat.

Li Er stepped forward slowly and firmly, stretched out his hands, stopped at the place where the woman took a step away, and then said carefully and sincerely in front of the brothers: "Sister-in-law, we are all miserable people. Follow me. If you follow me, you will have your food and drink. If you follow me, you will be able to continue the incense of the Li family."

The woman looked at Li Er a little disbelief, but there was a light of hope in her eyes. Suddenly, in public, she tore up her clothes that could not be covered in shame, opened her shriveled chest, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Okay, okay, I still have meat, I can still eat you, I can still let you eat for a few days, come, as long as you save my child now, now, now--"

Everyone was shocked by the madness of this woman again and retreated again, but behind them was a gloomy wall, and they had no choice but to retreat.

Instead of retreating, Li Er stepped forward firmly, stretched out his hands and stretched out his dying child: "Come on, give me the child."

Looking at the woman's frightened eyes, holding her child tightly, Li Er said gently again: "Come on, give me our children, I'll take you to eat." Then this man who killed people gently tidied up the woman's clothes to surprise all the brothers, "Come on, follow me, I will offer my flesh and blood to you mother and daughter, for nothing else, for us to survive, for nothing else, for this moment, is the peaceful world that the military advisor said."

The woman seemed to be really moved by Li Er, or she might be desperate. This might be the last chance, so she slowly spread her hands and handed the dying child to Li Er. Li Er picked up the child, pulled up the woman who was still kneeling on the ground, and said word by word to the brothers behind her who were leaning against the wall: "Now, I, Li Er, are no longer single. Now I have a wife, a child, and the double blood of the Li family and the Li family. Shouldn't everyone celebrate me?"

No one spoke, dozens of brothers looked at Li Er with a firm face.

A brother groped in his arms for a long time, then took out half a pancake.

Another brother took out a steamed bun in his arms.

The third brother also took a kettle next to his saddle.

In a moment, a pile of food was piled up in front of Li Er.

At this moment, there was a sound of a gong from afar, and a brother with a tremolo shouted: "The relief is released, the military advisor of Woniushan has decided to release relief-"

This good news immediately spread throughout the slums in Mizhi County like a gust of wind, and continued to spread with an unstoppable momentum.

"We have released grain and provided relief, and now we people have the hope of living."

Hope and surprise seem to be so caught off guard. Perhaps this is the only way for everyone to feel a surprise that never exists. The problem is not just a problem of food. This news is like a hole in an airtight wall, appearing in this chaotic world, giving people hope to live a living life. Such relief, such a thing makes everyone know that this is just the beginning, and a better tomorrow will come just when they wake up.

This kind of thing happened without being praised in advance. Everyone thought that this was a kind intention of the gentleman in Woniu Mountain - the gift should always come unexpectedly.

The opening of warehouses and relief has made Mizhi desperate men, women, young and old, see a long-awaited glimmer of light in this dark and endless troubled world, and is the beginning of the end of this dying grave-like world.

The warehouse for the relief was already overcrowded. Every citizen was at a table, drawing a red circle at a brother holding cinnabar, where his hands could not reach it, and then walked to the place where the grain was released. After being confirmed by the grain delivery person, he shouted loudly: "Open your pocket, you will get a big bucket of grain."

Then, in everyone's eyes, the brother took the big bucket in his hand that he had never seen before and suddenly went down. The golden wheat was full, with a sharp rise, and then fell into a bag without hesitation, either in his pocket or in a bag tied with clothes.

The brother, who was already sweating but full of energy, shouted loudly, regardless of the sweat, regardless of smearing his sweat, "Next."

The people who received the food could only repay the men who distributed the food by kneeling down and blessings.

The man who commanded the food distribution repeatedly shouted: "This is the kindness of Woniu Mountain, this is the kindness of the great master and the military advisor Lu Shi. The government cannot do it, so let us thieves do it."

Yes, what the government should do can only be done by thieves. What kind of world is this?

Li Er asked for leave, pulled the woman, holding the child who had become angry in his arms, walked among his brothers, and shouted to all the brothers he knew and did not know: "This is my woman, this is my daughter, this is our family."

All the brothers blessed them loudly together, and Li Er became even more proud.

A brother kindly asked, "Brother, why don't you take your wife and children to the warehouse to receive relief? She complies with the rules."

Li Er refuted with confidence: "Why do we have to get relief? He is my wife, a man from the village. In the future, as long as we fight hard in front of us, they will have a fixed amount of food. So what else do we need relief?"

Then he shook the cloth bag in his arms, and there was a sound of slapping copper coins inside. Li Er said proudly: "I just received 100 cents of money, which was sent by the counterfeit village. At that time, Leader Zhao took care of me as a child, and sent an extra fifty cents, asking me to take their mothers to the street to buy some clothes, and then take them to the restaurant for a good meal, hahaha."
