The next day, Fu Chen woke up hungry.

Xiaoqian said he was sorry to see her, so he didn't bother to shout, so he ate the fish by himself.

Fu Chen: "..." My meal.

Practicing martial arts and fishing as usual, nothing to do in the next few days, just repeating day after day.

On the fourth day, Xiaoqian told Fuchen, "The Lan River has completely burst its embankment. The flood has spread from upstream to downstream, and the entire waterway has become a mess, drowning many people."

Floating dust is no surprise.

Not long after, Zhang Yunqing came with two people, and said with a smile that he would build a kiln at the foot of the mountain.

Blacksmithing and calcination require a high temperature of the fire and high quality of the kiln to ensure that the furnace does not fry.

Fuchen said thank you, Zhang Yunqing smiled and said no.

For some reason, Fuchen felt that Zhang Yunqing's smile didn't reach his eyes.His smile seemed to be hiding something.Very reluctantly.

Fuchen asked Xiaoqian what he knew, but Xiaoqian shook his head and remained silent.

"By the way, what's your relationship with Zhang Yunqing?" These days, she also helps her with laundry and cooking.

Xiaoqian turned around to help Zhang Yunqing.Avoid the question entirely.

Floating dust is not forced.Continue to sleep on your own.

Days passed in sleep.

When Liu Shen hurried back to Wuhe City, he shut himself up and guarded the gate of the city.

Thirty thousand dans of grain were shipped that day.They only have [-] soldiers, so as long as they don't go out to fight and are not robbed, they will be fine until this year.

But I don't know who leaked the news that Wuhe City has a lot of food.

Even in Wuhe City, which was suppressed by the ghost king, a large number of people still smashed into the city gate for food.They even organized and formed a team to hit each other.

Liu Shen ignored these matters and left them to his thirteen little ghosts.

In less than three days, there were countless bones outside the city gate, and the death was tragic.The title of King of Ghosts has officially defeated hunger, and it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and no one dares to approach it.

And Liu Shen and counselor Zhang Quan discussed how to deal with the Wang family.

The news that they have food must have come from the palace.The emperor doesn't have that courage, only the royal family around him can do these things.

So Liu Shen asked the people outside the city gate to whisper to the people outside the city—at this time there were still a few unwilling ones who went around the city gate trying to dig a hole in—the soldiers on the city wall pretended not to see anyone and discussed loudly there with.

"Oh, I'm starving to death. Why do you think that group of idiots think we have food?"

"That's right. We still snatched grain from the emperor, and we only got a little. Well, you didn't see that, the granary in the palace was full. Hey, my eyes were blinding at that time. I wish I could hide in it like a mouse and not come out. But I can’t help it, if I don’t come out, I will be found and scattered, but only a little bit of it was brought out. I only regret that there were few people at that time!”

"Yes, but you can't steal it now. They must have found us now, and they must be on strict defense. They think we don't starve to death earlier, so they say we have food. Tsk tsk, the mind is really vicious, but fortunately we followed King of ghosts. Even after death, being a little ghost is still pretty good! Haha."

"That's right! Our ghost king is a ghost king named and consecrated by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva! If you follow him, even if you starve to death, you won't be entangled by wild ghosts, and you can have a good pregnancy in your next life! Haha."

The topic suddenly turned to the worship of the ghost king.

The two chattered about, and finally sighed, "When we die, we all will be little ghosts together, and it's not bad."

The people below were terrified when they heard this, and quietly crawled away.

From that day on, those few people had two secrets.They decided to carry out one secret quickly, and one, they buried it deep in their hearts by coincidence, and decided: never come to Wuhe City again.

When hearing that a large number of beggars turned to Ancheng, Liu Shen felt that this small plan was very good, and immediately praised the two soldiers.He did not expect that these two people would also quietly influence future generations.

A large number of people flocked to the palace. Surprisingly, this group of tens of thousands of people actually decreased day by day.

When Liu Shen got the news, it was already a week later.

The moment he heard the news, he knew the reason.

There is no reason, only the ending that has been foreseen.

The people in the palace already... Liu Shen sighed without continuing.Even though it was foreseeable, but I still feel sad when I really know this day.

"How many people are there?" Liu Shen asked.

"There are hundreds of casualties a day, and the exact number cannot be estimated."

"Let them pay attention to handling the corpses carefully to avoid plague. The gates of the city will not be opened this year. The city will also be cleaned up regularly. If any animal corpses are found, remember to burn or bury them." Liu Shen reminded.

Jing Yan next to him nodded.

It's already eating people.

"Does the emperor eat it too?" Liu Shen was also curious.

Jing Yan said lightly: "The first place is probably the imperial city. When the emperor travels, the whole city is in a state of blockade, including the palace. As an imperial city, Ancheng has a lot of money, and the food depends on transportation. The emperor was the first to get the news and left. Later, fearing that someone would interfere further, they ordered the army to seal off the entire city and not allow them to enter or leave. There was no food in the city, and the rich families began to buy and sell people to eat.”

"Eunuch Mao, the eunuch in the palace, is also No. 1 in the rise of cannibalism. He even openly held a food competition in the palace. He explained how the specific parts of the human body are the best to cook."

"The 1 people probably did exactly what they wanted."

"Nonsense!" Liu Shen was furious.After the anger, there was a chill down the spine.He never expected that his decision would bring about this kind of result—he couldn't accept it.

Liu Shen covered his face, remained silent for a moment, and said, "If I remember correctly, the Lujiang River is also flooded. Where there is water, there are fish..."

"No." Jing Yan cut off the conversation, "The place is already overcrowded."

"What about the deep mountains? The mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, so it must be..." Liu Shen continued.

"It doesn't work either. The animals in the mountains are also starving, and they will die faster if they go in."

Liu Shen was silent, deeply powerless pressing him down, like a trapped animal.

The Lan River flooded, completely separating the north and the south.

The northern land is a barren land.

Everyone here is a trapped beast, unable to escape.Those 1 people were more than 1 people, and tens of thousands of people were driven around like stones.All that remains of a person is a deep sense of hunger.

If you can't insist on anything, you can only tear humanity apart.

He is willing to use most of his humanity to protect the last bit of humanity!
Liu Shen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and suppressed the unwillingness in his heart.He can only seek the survival of his own people, and he is powerless if there are too many.

"Spread the news, no, no, spread the news, I'm afraid more people will imitate it, and it will be uncontrollable." Liu Shen lowered his head and said to himself.

Only then did he realize that he could do nothing, nothing.

This powerlessness turned into anger: He really didn't understand why the Tianyu Congress was so powerless?Can't resist even a little natural disaster!A normal city would store food for at least a year!
The south is so rich, and it is transported every year. Why is there a flood today, and there is no food in the palace?
Liu Shen became even more determined to destroy the Tianyu Kingdom, as well as the gentry!

But for now, he has to guard the city and keep food.

"Tell me about the situation in several big cities." Liu Shen said.

Jing Yan: "The Zhou city of the Lujiang Zhou family is overcrowded, and there is no food for a long time."

Liu Shen thought: Lujiang Zhou's family... is a threat.

The Zhou family in Lujiang, one of the noble families, has always been famous for its "speaking and eloquent" and "knowledgeable".The city is located on the edge of the Lujiang River, and it was built high to prevent waterlogging. In order to drain water, the ground of the city is connected by gullies.

Lanhe blocked the food line, and Zhou City closed early, entering self-consumption.The food in the city is not much, and it is not much, and it can barely last until autumn and winter. When the Lan River recedes, people will be sent to the south to buy food no matter what.

But they underestimated the hunger of the people.

Dare to do anything when you are hungry.

The gully was quickly filled with people, and no matter how hard the people inside fought and killed, there were always people flocking outside.

No matter how humble, people's desire for life will burst out in the face of hunger.This is the mystery that has been hidden in the genes for thousands of years, passed down step by step to today-it is better to die than to live!
Zhou Xuezhi, the head of the Zhou family, looked at the fermented bean curd porridge on the table, stared at the shameless mob outside, said "I haven't eaten meat for a long time", and waved his hand to let people in.Like Ancheng, only a few people are selected to come in every day.

The ravines were all covered with thick pine resin, and oil was sprinkled on the surface.

Anyone who climbs the ravine will inevitably be covered with pine resin.

People in the city lit torches when they saw that the gully was full of people.

Immediately, white smoke billowed from the ravine, and the screams had a faint scent of turpentine and meat, and there was a strange sense of satisfaction in the years of hunger.

After several days of fire, the people in the gully finally disappeared.

The people outside trembled, cursed in their hearts and their faces were distorted, and hesitated several times whether to go in or not.

The people inside were very excited, and someone in the gully lit a fire—I wish I could see more white smoke, smell more rosin, and hear more screams.

Possibly, rosin is also addictive.

After half a month of struggling like this, news came that there was food in Wuhe City.But soon came the news that there was food in Ancheng and the news that the ghost king in Wuhe City was terrifying.

Patriarch Zhou doesn't believe in ghosts, but he believes that there is food in Wuhe City.

He heard about Liu Shenyi Xingdu Liang.He reckoned that the amount of grain would be [-] or [-] dan, which would be enough to last this year.

Zhou Xuezhi organized people excitedly, and asked the Zhou family children to fool the beggars outside the city, let them be cannon fodder, and then they went to grab food.

But soon, the children of the Zhou family reported back: No one outside the city is willing to go to Wuhe City. In their view, going to Wuhe City is no different from going to Fengdu City, and they went directly to see the King of Hades.

Only then did Zhou Xuezhi realize that he doesn't believe in ghosts, but these idiots do!Angrily cursed: A bunch of idiots!What the hell are you afraid of if you want to die?

Scolding is scolding, you should eat a fool or eat it.In his opinion, the value of a fool is either to eat or to be cannon fodder.

No one wants to go to Wuhe City, and Zhou Xuezhi will not let his own people rob it.The days passed while swearing and eating people.

At the end of June, the Zhou family was in crisis.

Someone went to "check the granary" and found that the grain was soaked in water and moldy.The food on the lower layer is all inedible.The food in the granary was directly reduced by [-]%, and it could not even last in summer.

Everyone knew that that person was going to steal food, but now no one cares about this, but worry about how to survive in this troubled year-they are used to having a full meal every day, and they never dare to think about it. Tummy time.

Zhou Xuezhi calculated silently: There is very little food in this northern land, but there are many people... There are also "[-] dans of food" outside the city, which is enough for them to last until autumn and winter.

But they alone are not enough.

There are thousands of people in the Zhou family, and the production of rations is laborious.The Zhou family are all scholars, so they can't do such things.

Zhou Xuezhi turned his attention to Liu Shen.

Zhou Xuezhi wrote a letter, and selected one of the three leftover pigeons to deliver the letter.

Three days later, Liu Shen received the letter, opened it to read, and snorted coldly, "This week's skinning is really vicious and shameless."

"Wang, what's the matter?" Zhang Quan, the counselor, asked.

Liu Shen shook the letter, "Let's have a look."

Zhang Quan took it, and the little devils next to him gathered together.Zhang Quan glanced at the letter, and briefly explained the meaning of the letter: Brother, I know that you are living well in Wuhe City, but life is difficult without meat and vegetables.I have it here.There are a lot of people outside the city.I'm going to make a large meat grinder for rations.do you want?I have too many people here.I can catch some of them for you.The machine production method can also tell you.Our Zhou family's children have fine hands and can't do rough work. Can you bring a small team over to help, not many, a hundred will be fine.I admire your elder brother Zhou Xuezhi.

"They really plan to make a meat grinder?" Gui Wu was slightly surprised.

The letter didn't say it was a meat grinder, but they all knew what it was.

"Fortunately, I'm following you." Zhang Quan sighed.

"Me too." Ghost Wu said.

Jing Yan nodded.

The latter all admit it.

In order to eat people, I really dare to do anything.Although they killed people, they never touched the last bottom line.

Those who talked about "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" directly broke the bottom line to the end and turned into mandrills in human skin.

Compared to them, the Zhou family and those from the imperial city are more like ghosts!It tempts people to go in and eat it bite by bite.

Liu Shen was silent all the time, and at this moment, he slowly turned his eyes, passed by the people next to him, and finally picked one person, "Ghost, you go."

A fair-looking young man stood up and took orders.

Zhang Quan warned, "The Zhou family has a lot of mouths, but they don't know how to do things. I'm not worried about how many people they can eat, but I'm more worried about what kind of trouble they will cause. If they can't handle it, everyone will die."

"Summer is here, dead bodies must be disposed of properly."

Guiwu interjected, "If you get sick, don't come back."

Ghost smiled.That smile bloomed like a flower.

"Wang, is it too dangerous to let Mei go alone?" A person stood up and asked.This person is "魑".She has a baby face, which is cute at first glance, but her kung fu is very domineering.Also a dangerous person.

Liu Shen opened his mouth, "Just let him spread the news and control things. If there is danger, just come back."

Mei Xiao smiled and nodded, pinched Chi's butt, turned and left, leaving Chi alone blushing in embarrassment.

"The subordinates are still worried that he is alone..."

"That's fine, eat less and save rations." Gui Wu said.

Liu Shen nodded and moved his index finger to let people go down.

Chi took the order and went out.

Gui Wu yawned, stretched, and then continued to sit on the chair.

Chi finds Mei, who is packing her things, sticking the skins in her hands to her body layer by layer.

"Why are you putting on so many layers of skin?" Chi wondered.

These skins are plucked from the bodies of people who have not yet died on the battlefield, and the secret water will not rot.

"Of course it's a precaution. What's going on outside Zhoucheng? Is it more terrifying than a pile of dead people? You don't have any disease, but you still carry a dead breath. If you touch my skin, you might as well just cut it off." Mei said in detail He said, "There is also that guy Jing Yan. Even if I come back alive, I will be skinned by her. It is better to prepare a few more sets of skins now."

"..." It seems to be the reason.

The two changed their faces, packed up their things, and left through the small door.

As for Zhou Cheng's reply, did you reply?
Do you use carrier pigeons?No, the pigeons ate it.

Liu Shen found an eagle, let it grab a tortoise shell and threw it over, and wrote: Get out of here!Gui grandson.
