One day or two, even if half a month has passed, Na Hai still firmly believes that Dasu's reinforcements will definitely arrive. But a month has passed. Na Hai no longer believes that Dasu will send reinforcements here, nor does he think about whether Dasu calls the Taiping Knight to be defeated or Zheng Sen of Jinxia to hold him back. He thinks more about how to fill his stomach.

A few days ago, the corpses of the civilians on the beach were finally asked to take away the seawater. The beach, which was originally full of rotten corpses and smelly smell, was finally clean. When he heard his subordinate Goshha say that there was food on the beach, Na Hai was very happy and hurriedly led his subordinate Goshha and the remaining soldiers of the Forward Battalion to rush over. Sure enough, there were really many shells on the beach that could be eaten, and there were many small crabs. Although the shells were not meat and the crabs had no meat, it was a rare food and a rare delicacy for the Qing army, which was already in a semi-hungry state.

With these living creatures on the beach, Nahai's men had enough food that day, but when he led people over the next day, he found that the beach had been occupied by the Mongolians. After seeing the Manzhou people coming, the Mongolians immediately stopped fighting and hugged them, and came to drive them away, without taking Nahai and the others seriously at all.

Since the Mongolian leader Alta surrendered to the Taiping Counterattack, the Mongols have shown signs of being disobedient. In order to stabilize them, Jidu asked to divide the remaining military rations with them, instead of the Manchu soldiers occupying the majority, so that they could barely comfort the Mongols. Jidu even told Nahai, who was a little irritable, that he must not have conflicts with the Mongols, so as not to have excuses for these wolf cubs to attack.

Nahai is not a ungrateful person. Now there are more Mongolian soldiers than Manzhou and are trapped here. If he were to the Mongolians as before, he would have caused great changes. For this reason, even if these Mongolian soldiers were very rude to him, Nazhu. He could only endure the anger and return to the fortress, instead of trying to expel them, or even cut off the heads of the two Mongolian Tartars so that they could know who was the master.

When passing by a stone house sealed with wooden boards, Na Hai subconsciously stopped. In the stone house were dozens of injured Manzhou children. Because there was not enough food, these injured and unable to move could only be cruelly abandoned. Jidu could not bear to kill them, so he asked someone to seal them alive in the stone house and let them die on their own. In this way, Prince Jian felt at ease because he was not stained with the blood of the Manzhou children.

The decision to abandon the wounded soldiers was unanimously supported by the Manzhou generals and even more supported by the living Manzhou soldiers because they all wanted to get more food. Compared with the precious warriors, the latter portion was obviously heavier. Everyone wanted to survive. Everyone wanted to get more food, which is nature.

Although the stone house was sealed and far away, it seemed that it could not smell anything, but when it approached, Na Hai could smell the faint smell of the house.

Na Hai sighed. He knew that all the men in Manzhou in this room must have died. After being hungry for seven or eight days, the gods could not stand it. Moreover, these people were injured. Thinking that these people were brave men in Manzhou after all, they were injured on the road to attack. Although they had to sacrifice them because of food problems, at least they had to give them dignity after death.

"Come on. Open the house!"

Na Hai didn't want the children of Manzhou to slowly rot in the stone house like this, so he wanted someone to drag their bodies outside for burial.

The Goshhas in Nahai had no choice but to go forward and smash the door locked by the chain. They thought the people inside had already died, but when the sunlight shone into the house, they were stunned and subconsciously retreated. There were living people moving in the stone house, and they were holding pieces of black flesh in their hands.

Cordo didn't want to die. He wanted to go back alive, but he was injured. His legs were injured by the Nanman's musket while rushing to the battlefield, but he didn't scream. He struggled and crawled back. He thought he would be treated and taken care of carefully. But Cordo never expected that he was abandoned by his masters.

When they were locked in the stone house, Cordo and his injured companions cried and howled. They were unwilling to accept that they were not cowards, they were warriors, they were injured because of their bravery! They deserve treatment and better food, rather than being abandoned and locked in this stone house to starve to death!

At first, there was an angry roar, but at last, there was a desperate cry. The stone house isolated these wounded soldiers in Manzhou from the world. They didn't know what was going on outside or what was going on inside. Because there was no light coming in, it was smeared and no one could see who could only feel the existence of their companions from each other's voices.

One day, two days, three days

There was no food or water, and everyone was so hungry that they had no strength. One companion after another died, dying silently. Cordo hugged in the corner in fear, swallowing, waiting for the arrival of death. In a daze, he suddenly heard a chewing sound in his ears, swallowing it voraciously, and the sound was loud, as if someone was eating a big gulp.

food?

Cordo shivered and quickly stood up, but the darkness in front of him was still visible and nothing could be seen, but the sound of chewing food was clearly there, and it was not just a person eating, but a lot of people eating.

"What are you eating?"

No one answered Cordo, only the sound of chewing.

Cordo didn't dare to think about what those companions were eating. A fear that had never been seen surged into his mind from the bottom of his heart. He was so scared that his whole body shivered. His hands unconsciously scratched around him, but he touched a corpse that died at some point. The touch of his fingers told him that the corpse seemed not very complete.

Cordo had actually known the answer for a long time. Apart from human flesh, what food is there in the stone house! He vomited loudly, but he couldn't spit out anything in his stomach. His stomach seemed empty, and he couldn't even spit out a drop of bitter water.

"If you don't want to die, just eat it."

A dull voice came not far away, and Cordo was silent. The surviving person told him that he could only see his mother if he survived. And if he survived, he could only see his mother.

I don't know how many days later, when the sun shone into the stone house again, Cordo couldn't see anything because his eyes were blinded by the dazzling sunlight.
