Tang's dining table

In a small environment, when laws and morality do not exist at all, people will become the most cruel animals in the world.

There are very few scenes of cannibalism among animals living in groups, not even wolves.

On the Great Ocean Road, a place where humans live together, scenes of cannibalism and cannibalism have become a daily routine for people.

Nature is very magical. Behind a barren salt-alkali land, an oasis actually appeared.

The oasis is not big, no more than ten miles long and one mile wide.

The reason why it is distributed in a long strip is entirely because there is an underground river here. The underground river, as the name suggests, is the river water that gushes out from the ground. Not to mention the water quality is clear and will not dry up. Unfortunately, the water volume of this river is insufficient after all. After stretching for more than ten miles on the sea road, it was drained dry by the dry climate here.

Even though this river has existed for many, many years, its radiation range is still only so large. After raising some Populus euphratica, tamarisk, Elaeagnus trees, highland barley fields, and vineyards, there is no extra energy to raise other things.

Everyone in the Western Regions hopes to get a pasture that no one knows except themselves. They will remember the water sources they pass by and enjoy them alone.

Tianshui River was seen by an adventurous bandit and remembered it firmly. Finally, it was known to many bandits. The bandit leader wanted to kill the bandit who knew this secret place for himself. As a result, a group of bandits killed the bandit leader. , and then use this place as a base for the little robbers.

Everyone in Xiao Yuhua's red willow forest knew how to use two tattered corpses as markers to intimidate those who came after them.

When Yunchu's forward emerged from the sea of ​​tears and saw a large area of ​​Populus euphratica with golden leaves, and was about to cheer, a large and even louder cheer suddenly erupted in the Populus euphratica forest.

Then, Liang Ying, the leader, saw a large group of bandits dressed in leather robes, waving knives and happily attacking the army headed by him.

If it were just an adult male robber, Liang Ying, a young man from a regular family, would naturally happily go up to him and take away his own glory.

The problem now is that among the people who are rushing forward, there are men, women, old and young. There is no order. Even the old people who are about to die of old age and the children who have just learned to walk are rushing forward with all kinds of strange weapons.

Just when Liang Ying was still considering whether to kill all these people, Xiao Yuhua had already brandished a horizontal knife and rushed down the sandy slope.

Not only Xiao Yuhua ran down, but Afanti also shouted "Rush" while urging his donkey to run down, but the speed was a bit slow.

As long as he doesn't fight with Zhong Kui, Xiao Yuhua's skills are still very good. He is extremely flexible and often circles around on his horse like a Huihe. With a horizontal sword, he can kill countless people in just a moment.

Seeing that Xiao Yuhua had started fighting, Liang Ying waved his hand and led the forward cavalry to kill down the slope.

Seeing Xiao Yuhua's group of men and horses being killed, Afanti's donkey became excited and led him to follow Liang Ying's group of men and horses, and collided with the bandits.

By the time Yunchu, Wenwen, Zhong Kui, and Zhang Donghai arrived at Tianshuijing with their huge camel team, the war here was already over.

Wen Wen looked at the corpses of men and women everywhere, old and young, and said in shock: "Don't they know they are facing the Tang army?

Are all people from the Western Regions so brave? "

Yun Chu said helplessly: "In the Western Regions, the most terrifying person is the army. Whether it is the army of the Tang Dynasty or the army of that tribe, the only thing the army represents in the Western Regions is robbery and disaster.

Especially for the wandering Westerners who have no tribal protection, the arrival of the army means that they will either die or become slaves, there is no second outcome.

If they don't want to die or be slaves, they will fight to the death, hoping to gain a chance of survival through fighting. "

Wenrou nodded after listening to Yunchu's words, then looked around at the Gobi Desert and the desert in the distance, then shook her head and said: "Here, even escaping is a luxury.

What happened to Liang Ying? Why didn't he even spare women and children? "

Yun Chu said: "I led the army with the same result..."

Wen Wen frowned and said, "Can we kill women and children?"

Yun Chu said: "Kill all the men and leave the women and children behind. Their fate will be even more miserable. There are many people who covet an oasis like Tianshuijing. It is only because they cannot defeat the people here in Tianshuijing that they have the current peaceful appearance.

Our food and mission do not allow us to take these women and children with us. If we leave them behind, they will become a dish on someone else's table.

Liang Ying came over to report the battle tremblingly. Yun Chu listened carefully. When he learned that Xiao Yuhua jumped out to fight without waiting for military orders, he naturally fixed his eyes on Zhong Kui.

Zhong Kui nodded and said, "When his injury gets better, I will take care of it myself."

Wen Wen looked at Liang Ying and said, "Is there anyone alive?"

Liang Ying hesitated for a long time before saying: "The general doesn't know whether those are still human beings."

Wen Wen said angrily: "What is a person if he is not a person?"

Yunchu looked at the small Tianshuijing Oasis and sighed: "People in the Western Region like to eat meat. There is not much vegetation here, so it is not suitable for grazing cattle and sheep.

In addition, the weather here is hot and meat is not easy to store..."

Before Yun Chu finished speaking, Wen Wen's face began to turn green. He had never lived in the Western Regions, but he had read many books about the Western Regions, so he immediately understood the meaning of Yun Chu's words.

Yun Chu said to Liang Ying again: "Kill them, and then ask the masters of the Shaolin Temple to chant sutras and pray for them, and pray that they will not be human beings in the next life... This world is too cruel for them."

Liang Ying was obviously relieved and ran to Naha's carriage, looking for the master to help the living people.

Xiao Yuhua found a large number of raisins in Tianshuijing Oasis. This may be the only specialty and food here.

Afanti was also very excited to find many sparkling stones and many gold coins, silver coins, and copper coins produced in the Tang Dynasty in the Tianshuijing Oasis.

These things were put casually in the leather pockets. Some of the ropes stringing the copper coins were rotten and scattered on the floor at the slightest touch.

When Yunchu walked into Tianshuijing Oasis, Wenwen was unwilling to go in. She would rather chat and laugh with Naha through the window than enter Tianshuijing Oasis and use the sweet water there to wash away the dust.

Naha was also unwilling to go in because Wen Wen described this Sweet Water Well Oasis as too disgusting.

Wen Wen thought that even if he was almost unbearably dirty at this moment, he would not want to take a bath in a place that looked like a devil's cave.

A gentleman who is thirsty will not drink the water from the stolen spring. This is gentle persistence, so he secretly drank the few rice wine with Naha.

Liang Ying gathered all the wood that could be found here and lit a big fire to burn those ugly things that were beyond human nature.

As for the bandits who died in the battle, they randomly found a sand pit with leeward wind and buried them with soft sand. In this way, even if the sand moved, they would only be buried deeper and their bodies would not be blown away by the wind and sand. live.

When resting at night, Xiao Yuhua slept on the sand. Although it was very cold, he insisted on staying here. Naha's carriage did not enter the depths of the camp, which made him a little worried.

Afanti stuffed a lot of raisins into his mouth. While eating, he looked towards Naha and said to Xiao Yuhua: "You should light a bonfire and sing to the sound of my piano. Maybe You can attract girl Naha here.”

Xiao Yuhua looked at the dark sky and said, "You'd better run farther away later. I don't think it's safe tonight."

Afanti stopped stuffing raisins into his mouth and said in surprise: "Do you smell danger?"

Xiao Yuhua pointed to his head and said, "I'm very uneasy here. As long as I'm uneasy here, something bad will happen."

"You should tell that boy Liang Ying that he will be on duty tonight."

Xiao Yuhua pointed to the row of tents facing the Gobi and said, "He arranged all the people there."

Afanti stood up, looked at the desert behind Xiao Yuhua and said, "You mean the danger comes from the desert?

You should make it clear to Liang Ying. "

Xiao Yuhua shook his head and said: "Liang Ying said that the sand dunes over there are very high, and no one can suddenly break out from the desert. What needs to be prevented is the Gobi side."

Afanti nodded and said, "What he said makes sense. It's possible for one or two people to steal from over there, but a large group of people can't march in the desert."

After speaking, he stuffed a handful of raisins into his mouth and said, "I'll accompany you."

Wen Wen is a moral obsessive and is unwilling to touch the water in the sweet well. Naha is disgusted by Wen Wen and refuses to touch the water in the sweet well.

Yun Chu didn't care, and neither did Zhong Kui, who was determined to deal with monsters and ghosts all his life.

So, the two of them lit a bonfire to barbecue and drink wine at the source of the underground river.

Zhong Kui looked around, pulled the charcoal fire with a stick and said, "Is what happened here common in the Western Regions?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "It's unusual among the tribe, but it's very common in the bandits' den.

Looking at the good pastures in the Western Regions, all the large ethnic groups and countries have occupied them. Bandits and horse thieves can only choose places where cavalry and troops are unwilling to come.

Most of these places are not suitable for human beings to live together. In addition, the people living together are so mixed that the only connection between people is force, so bad things will happen. "

"Including feeding people and eating freshly cut meat?"

Yun Chu looked up at Zhong Kui and said, "It's not like there are no such records in our clan's history. What's so strange about what happened in the Great Sea Channel?

The reason why I work hard to build Chang'an into a truly heroic city is to prevent this kind of thing from happening in Chang'an. "

"Will something like this happen in Chang'an?" Zhong Kui was very surprised by Yun Chu's words. He was born in the Tang Dynasty, and naturally felt that Chang'an was a city that would never fall.

Yunchu didn't answer Zhong Kui's question. He picked up the horse tree stuck in the sand, looked in the direction of the dark desert and said: "Get ready, Zhang Donghai has sent a signal, and a large number of sand bandits are sneaking over from the desert." .”
