At night, there is a cool breeze.

The howls of wolves suddenly became more frequent.

A short man with a donkey face dangled in front of Li Yue, his eyes seemed to be examining the animal that was about to be castrated by him.

Li Yue was really panicked, he couldn't even joke...

But Wang Luzi had already brought a basin of water and was sharpening his knife. "Don't be afraid, little brother. You, Brother Luzi, are famous for my craftsmanship from far and wide. If I click it and keep it, you won't feel anything."

"Brother Donkey, you and I have no grudges in the past and in this life. Can you let me go? There will be good rewards in the future." Li Yue swallowed his saliva.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm really afraid of this thing...

"Why are you so ignorant, little brother? If I let you go, I won't be able to survive, brother donkey. If you want to blame, you have to blame yourself. You really treat this Jijia fort as a Buddhist temple. You don't even think about it. Now that the Ji family is in chaos,

How can a fort be as stable as Mount Tai, so easy to deal with? Besides, you and the Heiyunshan family are not the only ones who have ideas for Jijiabao. You see, over the years, the surrounding villages have changed one after another. Isn't Jijiabao still in good shape?

"Wang Luzi opened his chatterbox and tried the gelding knife in his hand.

"Jijiabao is really that powerful, so there is no need to bow to Jie Nu." Li Yue wanted to delay as much time as possible.

But Wang Luzi had already come over with the gelding knife, "That's a matter for the owners of the dock. Don't blame Brother Lu for being cruel. I'll admit it if he falls into your hands."

After saying that, he went to untie Li Yue's shirt.

Li Yue struggled hard, but his whole body was tied tightly and he couldn't move at all.

Seeing that his pants were about to be ripped off, Li Yue couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, letting out a shrill wolf howl.

The loud voice made Wang Luzi startled, but it also aroused his ferocity, "If you howl again, I'll cut off your tongue!"

Oddly enough, after Li Yue howled out, there was a series of wolf howls outside the castle.

It was getting closer and closer, alerting the guards on the fort.

The torch suddenly brightened, and from time to time he shot one or two loud arrows outside the city, hoping to drive away the wolves.

The most ruthless people in this world are not tigers or leopards, but wolves.

They come in groups, are ferocious and evil, and also hold grudges.

Wang Luzi was also considered a person who had seen strong winds and waves. Knowing that it was not too late, he reached out and took off Li Yue's pants.

But at this moment, suddenly a black object fell from the beam on the left side, and it happened to hit Wang Luzi's face.

"Who!" Wang Luzi picked up the castration knife, bounced it off the ground, wiped it on his face, but found that it was just a piece of dirt.

In the darkness, a person stood on the eaves.

The slender figure cast a long black shadow on the ground, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his eyes were shining with light fluorescence like the moon in the sky.

"You can't touch this person." The voice was low and gentle.

The leaves rustled in the night wind, and the howls of wolves outside the castle became even more desolate and sad, one after another.

The scene seemed to have frozen.

Jijiabao is very big. It is said that it was built during the Yellow Turban Uprising in the late Han Dynasty. After two hundred years of operation, it is almost a small town.

People from nearby areas often come to avoid the chaos, so it's not difficult to sneak in one or two people.

"So what if I move?" Wang Luzi tightened his grip on the gelding knife, licked his lips, and took a step forward, like a leopard hunched over to pounce, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

As soon as Li Yue saw this momentum, he knew that Wang Luzi must also be rolling on the tip of the knife.

But who doesn’t risk their lives with their heads in their crotch these days?

The man on the eaves said: "Then we will have no choice but to die."

The gentleness in the voice was gone, only cold and chilling.

Seeing that the situation was about to break out, Wang Luzi suddenly raised his hand and said, "Goodbye!"

Then he disappeared into the night without looking back, leaving Li Yue stunned in the night wind for a long time.

"You can't let him go, he will call someone!" Li Yue yelled.

The black shadow jumped lightly from the roof beam and landed firmly on the ground. It was Cui Jin, the second brother in the memory. "It doesn't matter, they have no time to care about you."

Li Yue recalled the way the original owner spoke in his memory, "Second brother, you're late."

"Third brother, you are too ignorant of etiquette. You are the second brother who saved you, why can't you respect me more?" Cui Jin smiled slightly, and his whole face exuded a unique charm under the moonlight.

Li Yue suddenly had the illusion that Ji Ying'er's face was not as delicate as this one, "I am from a commoner family, not as good as you from the Cui family in Qinghe."

"Third brother, it's wrong to say that." Cui Jin looked lonely, pulled out the long sword from his waist, swung it lightly, and with a clean stroke, the rope on Li Yue's body was disconnected.

Li Yue stood up, but felt weak all over and his stomach growled.

From last night to tonight, I haven't had any water or rice, and I didn't feel it when I was tied up. Now that I'm out of trouble, I feel weak all over.

food……

Since February of this year, there have been continuous heavy rains and the Yellow River has overflowed, turning half of Xingyang into a state of Zeguo.

The famine has just begun. If spring plowing is delayed, more people will starve to death...

God doesn't give people a way to survive.

Life on the mountain is not easy either. Food has long been scarce. Since last month, everyone can only drink two bowls of gruel a day. They are so hungry that they feel dizzy. Otherwise, they would not go down the mountain to "borrow food" from Jijiabao.

Of course, it's not really about borrowing food, but Li Yue is in the light and Cui Jin is in the dark, exploring the reality of Jijiabao...

While he was thinking about it, there was sudden chaos outside, and the defenders on the city shouted frantically: "Bandits! Bandits have attacked the city!"

Then there were torches everywhere, the castle was in chaos, and young and strong men and women came out.

"Find some food first." Li Yue knew it was a bluff without even looking. Jijia Fort was so strong that it would be difficult to break through.

It’s a rare trip, and if you don’t eat and drink enough, you won’t be sorry for the pain you’ve suffered.

All the young and strong men went to guard the city wall, but the inside of Wubao was empty.

The two of them helped and groped from house to house.

These days, grain is more valuable than gold. There are thirty or forty strong men in armor standing guard in front of the granary, their eyes as wide as lanterns.

After searching for more than an hour, I found no food, only a rusty kitchen knife.

Looking at the rusty kitchen knife, Li Yue felt that his future was as gloomy as the knife, and he didn't know if he could leave alive.

Even if they make it out of Jijiabao alive, they will still starve to death without food.

When I was feeling discouraged, I suddenly smelled the aroma of meat.

Li Yue thought he was hallucinating.

Cui Jin, who was lying on the side, suddenly sat up, his eyes glowing green, "Third brother, do you smell it?"

"Meat!" Li Yue rummaged up from the ground and picked up the rusty kitchen knife, feeling full of strength.

Following the smell, I touched it.

Li Yue only felt like a beast whose mind was controlled by hunger. He had only one thought in his mind - eating meat.

If he were a wild beast, then Cui Jin would be more like a starving ghost, rolling, crawling, stumbling, and touching the place where the scent came from.

In a room with a faint firelight, the sound of "gurgling" as the broth boils can be clearly heard, and the aroma is overflowing.

The sound seemed strange in the quiet night.

Although he was hungry, his sanity was not completely lost. Where could the broth come from in such a dark situation with no one around?

It would be difficult for ordinary people to even take a bite of bran, let alone meat, unless...

Li Yue felt sick for a while.

Cui Jin ignored it and rushed in.

Li Yue wanted to stop him but it was too late and he shouted: "Be careful!"
