During the long and annoying wait, she closed her tired eyes.

Quietly holding her young child, she leaned against the stone wall.

There seemed to be a little smile on her face, maybe there was no disaster or suffering in the world over there.

A man in a tattered black robe was the first to reach out to her body.

He pulled his poor dead mother to him.

The man was a little over forty, his hair was bald, and he had fierce eyes like a pair of eagles.

Li San, who originally wanted to protest twice, felt weak all over after being glared at by him.

"The dead are dead, and the living will continue to live."

He kept squeezing the woman's slender arm and putting it to his mouth from time to time, making her throat roll.

The eyes glowed horribly.

For some reason Li San remembered his rare experiences of eating chicken legs.

"You can't do this, we are all human beings." A young scholar who looked gentle stood up.

He was also one of the few people who ever smiled at Li San.

"Get out of here, you are not eating whatever you are eating." A man with a knotted beard stood up.

Probably inspired, the bald man opened his mouth and bit into it.

He bit so hard that a chunk of skin followed his sharp teeth.

Xiao Li San couldn't bear it anymore. He hit his head on the man's swollen belly like a bull.

"You little bastard, you're looking for death." Although the man was also hungry, he was quite strong.

With one slap, Li San was sent far away.

"Don't touch my child." Li San's father waved and pushed him over.

But the bald man seemed to have the support of many people, and the only remaining young man stood beside him and the bearded man.

Hunger has made humanity very scarce.

"You don't have to eat, but don't stop us." The bearded man took out a dagger and pointed it at the gentle scholar and Li San's father.

More and more people stood silently. Women, old people and children gathered there. People had been hungry for too long.

Eat, this word is higher than anything else, let alone meat.

"But we are humans, not animals! Only animals eat their own kind!" Mr. Si Wensheng was a little indignant.

Li San's family, a gentle scholar, a middle-aged man in his forties and an old woman who looked like his mother were huddled in the corner.

Although the middle-aged man and his mother were also dressed in rags, they seemed to be in good spirits.

He probably didn't come from a poor family, but in the face of disaster, family background has become unimportant.

The bald man led a thin child of about ten years old and shouted:

"If you want to die, do you want to take everyone with you? If you don't eat her, we will all die here."

Li San's father pulled the scholar from Rathven: "Forget it, don't we often see this kind of thing on the road?"

The scholar curled his lips and seemed to want to say something else.

The most horrific acts are carried out in small caves, where there is no difference between hungry humans and wild beasts.

The child who lost his mother was only about three or four years old. He looked at what was happening in front of him incomprehensibly and cried in pain.

There were a lot of people crying there, men, women, old and young. Some of them were sobbing while holding the meat in their mouths.

After all, humans are not beasts, they have to survive in order to survive.

Even the bearded man was in tears.

"Eat a little, I don't know if I can survive yet"

When will that be?" The bald man handed over a piece of meat.

Li San held his father's hand and said pitifully: "Hungry, daddy, I'm hungry."

The father raised his calloused hand and slapped her across the face, with tears in his eyes.

This man, who had endured many disasters along the way, could no longer hold back his tears when facing his hungry son.

Three days have passed, and most of the poor, thin young woman with only a handful of bones left has disappeared from this world, as if she had never been there.

Everyone in the cave looked at each other with eyes full of disgust and hatred, but more importantly, they were hungry. The woman was too thin.

Li San remembered that she seemed to be from the same village, and she was also a poor person, but fate did not let her go. Li San also cried when he was full.

At first people would cry when eating, but gradually everyone became numb, with blood dripping from the numbness, and eating numbly.

The only good news for Li San is that he defecated successfully.

No one can tell whether God has shown mercy or is still not tired of playing tricks on these poor people. The scorching sun in the sky is even more scorching.

That poor child, that orphan, is still alive.

He was dying, exhausted from fear and crying.

For the past three days, he spent most of the time crying non-stop, crying and crying.

The cries of innocent children in the cave did not awaken the hearts of these numb people.

Everyone was silent, like dry firewood that would be lit at some point.

"It's so noisy." A man in his prime slapped the little boy on the face. If a child is a piece of paper, then the paper in his prime has been filled with evil.

There were a lot of solid rocks in the cave. The little boy who had just started to walk was beaten so hard that he lost his footing. His little head hit a sharp rock, and all the red and white parts were exposed.

The sun is getting smaller and smaller, and a group of people are on the road again.

"Daddy, I can't walk anymore." The child named Puppy has been having a fever these days. After saying this, he slumped down on the ground weakly.

This is a common phenomenon among refugees, and life may disappear at any time due to various factors.

The types of diseases have long surpassed the best doctors' case lists, but fortunately these poor people don't care about them.

The bald man is called Da Zhuang, and poor people without a decent name do not have a good life.

He hugged his son's small body and cried loudly. He was not a villain, he was just trying to survive.

Those are pains that cannot be faked, and are the accumulation of a miserable life. His crying was so heartbreaking. The silent world was filled with a man's cry.

The hungry crowd stopped, not out of sympathy, but waiting to eat.

The bald man cried and took out a sharp knife. People are always like this. It is easy for others to suffer losses, but it is difficult for oneself to suffer losses.

The bearded man, who was his sworn brother, also took out the knife, but instead of facing the hungry crowd, he pointed it at his sworn brother.

"Brother, the dog is dead, why not do a good deed?" The bearded man was only in his twenties, and the suffering had already tortured him to the point of looking old.

He held the knife feebly, but his hand was shaking. In fact, everyone was shaking. It was the sequelae of excessive hunger.

"Go away." The bald man hugged the child and gave it a weak kick, almost falling to the ground. Not eating for a long time has emptied everyone's body, even if he is called Da Zhuang.

"The dog doesn't have much meat, but there are still so many adults alive here."

A woman said expressionlessly, but her eyes looked at Li San.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The bald man held Gouzi's dead body and stared directly at his sworn brother. Several surviving people surrounded him. The bearded man suddenly grabbed Li San.

Li San's father rushed towards the bearded man like crazy, but a middle-aged man stopped him: "The child can't go far."

The middle-aged man who used to be kind-hearted also tore off his disguise due to hunger.

"Your mother can't go far either. Why don't you give it to them to eat?"

Li San's father waved his hands vigorously and fought with the middle-aged man.

"There are so many people here. How could you not hand over your child today?"

The scholar tried to help fight for Li San, but he was too weak, so a woman pushed him and fell to the ground.

The bearded man's sharp knife was already placed across the young Li San's neck. The bald man gave up resistance and threw his son's body on the ground resigned to his fate.

At this time, Li San's father unexpectedly pushed his youngest son out and held Tu Yuanyang in his arms.

Li San had already realized what was about to happen, and he cried out and clapped his hands.

The father knelt on the ground and watched his son gradually stop struggling.

Bright red blood flowed from the young body, and hot tears overflowed from his eyes.

Under the sun, evil and cruel things happened. Family, friendship, and humanity all bowed before the word survival.

The ridiculous irony is that all the villains are one step closer to the light.

A huge crisis has temporarily passed, but hunger is still the primary problem before them.

The deputy general brought good news to Gao Yeyun: "King Yun, the batch of grain purchased by Miss Su has arrived at Yefengdu and will be delivered to the border town in a few days."

Going to Nancheng to buy grain only costs half a tael of silver and one stone. Buying grain from Gao Yeyun costs two taels and one stone.

Qian Yang is not stupid, so how could he do this deal?

Qian Yang wanted to seize this batch of grain, but Gao Yeyun instead mobilized tens of thousands of elite soldiers to the junction, assuming that Qian Yang would send troops if he dared to swallow his grain.

Qian Yang was timid and fearful, so he naturally allowed the grain to pass through the border.

Gao Yeyun hummed and said: "Flying pigeons send messages, let them arrive as soon as possible, otherwise things will change if they are late."

Once the disaster in Hezhou intensifies, no matter how timid Qian Yang is, he will swallow this batch of grain.

Although Gao Yeyun was ready to start a war, he was not willing to fight at this time.

As long as the food arrives at the border town, there is no need to worry.

Ji Yi nodded and said: "Okay."

The next day, news came from Nancheng that three counties including Xi County, Hui County, and Jiang County had been experiencing heavy rain for several days, and many counties had already suffered from waterlogging.

After Lin Yi and Gao Yeyun reported the news, they couldn't help but said to Gao Yeyun: "King Yun, it would be great if these rains fell in Xuanguang City!"

The people in Xunguang City prayed for rain until their necks almost broke, but in the end not a drop of rain fell, but there were heavy rains in Nancheng and other places.

It feels like God is playing tricks on me on purpose!

Gao Yeyun looked very ugly and said: "I am worried that there will be floods in Nancheng."

It's not that I'm worried, but there will definitely be floods.

The embankments that the imperial court spent so much money to build were all made of debris and other waste materials.

In the past few years, the weather was good and nothing happened, but now when the flood comes, the dam will collapse.

Lin Yi turned pale and said: "It only rained heavily for three days, so there won't be floods, right?"
