"No, absolutely not." Black Panther denied. It's fine if you really know it in your heart, why bother saying it.
"I'll let you go this time." Zhu Qinghong put his feet back, turned and walked out of the hall, "I won't do it again."
The black panther breathed a sigh of relief, sat down on the ground, and touched his head with his paws.
It was so dangerous, I almost had my courage taken out.
The city is developing steadily due to the hard work of the people every day. Zhu Qinghong checked and sorted out the newly obtained information and predicted that the army would not move forward this year.
The plan is being formulated and planned to be implemented next year. During this time, the people took a good rest and became more energetic and energetic.
In a city in front of the three cities.
The weather is getting cooler, and the thin clothes feel a little cold on the body.
A man put his hands in his sleeves and knocked on the door of a house in a hurry. The door quickly opened a crack, and the woman stepped aside to invite the man into the house.
After closing the door, the woman hurriedly asked: "Have you heard the news clearly? When will the army with food arrive?"
The man walked to the table and sat down. He wanted to pour water but found that there was no water in the pot.
Seeing the woman's ardent expectation, the man frowned: "It's winter, they won't come this year. If you find a way to survive the winter, they will definitely come next year."
"What?" the woman said in disbelief, "I am a widow with three children. I have saved and saved food, but I can't survive the New Year. Cloth is extremely expensive in the city now, where can I get money? Let alone survive the winter. , our family is already starving and freezing before winter comes.”
"What can I do?" The man took out his money bag from his sleeve and put a few coins in it, "Let's find a way to survive."
The woman looked at the copper plate, then at the man and said with difficulty: "Do you have a way? I really can't feed three children."
"I told you to kill me, but you didn't listen." The man said angrily, "Those dog men only want to have fun and don't care about what happens next. Why are you raising these three bastards? Send them to their biological father. Do you want to raise them? Keep it up, so as not to drag you down."
"Those soldiers are so tall and powerful, how can I stop them if they come?" the woman sobbed, "I don't know their names, and I can't see their faces clearly in the dark. Where can I find them? Do you think I don't want to kill them? Abortion will hurt your body, but it’s not like you don’t know my body.”
The man sighed heavily and took out a few more copper coins: "Take them. I have done my best to be kind and righteous. There are too many and there is nothing I can do."
"Is there really nothing we can do?" The woman bit her lip, holding on to her last glimmer of hope.
Is there really no way?
Shaking his head, the man put away his money bag and stood up to leave. The woman covered her face and cried bitterly, not knowing how her family could survive.
The man walked out of the door and walked down the street with his hands folded.
Times were hard, and they were not the only ones to worry. Many people in the city would not survive the winter.
Another city.
When she heard that her grandson was back, the old lady happily greeted him: "He's lost weight. Come on, come in and warm yourself up."
The man is tall and straight, wearing soldier's clothes.
He followed the old lady into the house: "Grandma, I'll leave after a day or two."
"So fast?" The old lady quickly asked someone to call the whole family out. Finally, the family reunited and had a reunion dinner.
After meal.
The man was talking to the old lady when he was called to the study by his father. My father was silent for a long time, then frowned and asked, "Is it okay to not be a soldier?"
The air is quiet and the atmosphere is depressing.
They all know it's impossible.
There are rebels inside and enemies outside. The emperor ordered to recruit a large number of soldiers. Everyone of age in every household will go there, and there will be no raids on homes and extermination of clans.
The man lifted his robe and knelt down: "Dad, the child is unfilial."
The corners of my father's eyes were wet, so he didn't start to wipe them away. He said helplessly: "It's not your fault. It's the world."
The emperor's imperial edict made the whole city gloomy.
The man rested for two days and returned to the barracks. Soon the army would set off for the expedition.
Yes, that's right, go to war.
In order to solve the problem of shrinking food, Feng Han decided to attack neighboring countries. If you want something to eat or drink, grab it and seize it. The same goes for women, whoever gets it gets it.
He vowed to fight to the end and carry it out to the end!
The weather is getting colder day by day. The army moved out to end the battle before the snow fell. However, it backfired as the neighboring countries resisted desperately and managed to hold on.
There is no food and grass behind, and the front cannot be attacked for a long time.
At this juncture, the first snow fell and the troops had to retreat.
Feng Han pretended to retreat, but led a group of troops to hide. I want to make a quick decision while the snow covers the ground, and grab as much as I can.
However, the generals of neighboring countries did not relax and kept strict defenses everywhere. His plan failed and he was forced to retreat to the capital.
The food provided every day is getting less and less. On the way back, countless people froze to death and starved to death. The army that went out with confidence at first came back in disgrace.
Fenghan couldn't afford to feed so many soldiers, so most of them went home. Who knows, what awaits them will be purgatory.
When the first snow falls, the freezing temperatures are unbearable. The first ones who couldn't bear it were the children, who froze to death one after another.
Then the old man and the woman. Those who are strong and healthy can still endure it, but those who are already weak cannot survive it at all.
Many soldiers returned home to find their families frozen to death. Children, wives, elders, and even a whole family died.
At that moment, deep despair enveloped my heart.
They don't know what's the point of living and continue to fight? For whom?
Without food, they can't win at all.
Even if you win the battle, you will not be full for a while, and you will continue to starve after eating.
The soldier fell to the ground in despair.
Where is the way to survive? Where is the way to survive?
There is no way to survive, no...
the other side.
The man came home and saw the door open, feeling suspicious. There's a cold wind blowing outside, why don't you close the door?
The moment he stepped through the door, his whole body froze.
Bodies were lying everywhere in the yard, including those of maids, servants, and strangers. The strangers were all skinny and ragged.
The snow was almost covering their bodies, which showed that they had been lying there for a while.
"Dad, grandma." The man hurriedly entered the house and searched from room to room.
He saw the tragic death of his grandmother, wife and children, and saw the dried blood. The man walked in in disbelief, wishing it was a nightmare.
He just wanted to wake up quickly.
"You... are back..." A voice sounded like a gossamer. The man immediately looked for it and saw his father in the corner.
He immediately hugged his father: "Hold on, I will take you to the doctor right away. You must hold on..."
The father grabbed the man's hand and shook his head gently: "It's... too late. If I can... see you come back, I will die... in peace."
"Dad, what's going on?" The man's eyes were red, anxious and panicked, "Have the robbers entered the city?"
"No, it's... the common people." The father struggled to tell the truth while holding on for a breath.
Heavy snow fell and low temperatures froze many people to death.
The people who were still alive were not having it easy either, they were hungry and cold. I was so hungry and so cold that I couldn't care about anything.
The common people gathered together and broke into the homes of wealthy people. They were robbing food and cloth. At first, my father asked people to move out the food, hoping to put an end to the trouble.
Unexpectedly, after the first group of people left, the second group of people soon arrived. It seemed like everyone in the city knew they had food and came to ask for it.
Here they go.
If you don’t give it, they will rob it.
They were beating and smashing, and the commotion became more and more violent.
Until their father ran out of food in the storehouse and told them to leave quickly and stop making trouble. Looking at the empty warehouse, many people turned red with hatred.
Why do they have no food?
Swearing, pushing, and eventually violence.
There were so many people, and each one of them beat everyone in the house to death with one punch.
My father looked for an opportunity to hide under the table and take a few breaths. The breath that held her body slowly dissipated when she saw the man.
His whole body was in severe pain and he couldn't move. He couldn't remember how long he had been lying here.
It's enough to see my son before I die.
Father closed his eyes, tilted his head to one side, and left.
The man burst into tears: "No, Dad. Dad, Dad——"
But no one responded to him anymore. Overnight, the man lost all his relatives and became a loner.
And this tragedy is happening all over the city. When the footsteps of death are getting closer and closer, do whatever you can to save your life. This is instinct, cruel instinct.
The man buried the bodies of his family members and looked at each person carefully. Grandma, father, wife and children...
He turned around and packed his bags.
Before leaving, set a fire to burn everything down. Turning around sadly, the man picked up his baggage and left the city.
The snow finally stopped and the roads were slippery. He walked forward unswervingly, staring straight ahead. In the barracks, someone else said something while chatting.
In the city that was first captured by the enemy, the people lived very well. Not only are they well fed and clothed, but they also have a surplus of food.
He wanted to see if there was really a place in the world that was so kind to enemy soldiers and civilians. Want to know who is the emperor who did all this.
Wondering who he should hate.
Hate the emperor who does nothing but cause war? Hate the people who are hungry, cold, and losing their minds?
Or should I hate myself for being incompetent?
I can't protect my family. He survived the demon siege, but the city fell apart in the hands of his own people.
He moved forward with great momentum, drinking snow water and eating bark and weeds. Moving forward with difficulty, the man did not stop even if he was hungry and tired.
Even if the heavy snow covers my knees, even if my body is black and blue from the cold. He just wanted to see with his own eyes that there was a paradise.
There are still several days to go from the city. The man fell into the snow and could not get up. His consciousness gradually blurred, and the obsession in his heart slowly dissipated.
I can’t see it anymore, it’s destiny.
He's so tired, forget it. That must be someone else's fabrication, it doesn't exist at all...
"Hey, are you okay? Why are you walking outside in the snow? If I hadn't taken a walk here, you would be dead."
Just as consciousness was about to dissipate, the man heard a voice. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw a black panther with wings in the air.
demon?
It doesn’t matter, as long as it’s eaten.
The black panther smiled crookedly, flew down, picked up the man and threw him on his back.
The man woke up suddenly, the warm flesh under his hands was real. Black Panther turned back and bared his teeth: "Sit down and let's go."
With the sudden acceleration, the man immediately leaned over and hugged the black panther's neck. The black panther doesn't care about the life or death of the people on its back, and flies arrogantly in the sky with all kinds of difficulties.
After having enough fun, we returned to the General's Mansion. The man felt very sick in his stomach and felt like he was about to fall apart.
"Where did you go to pick up people again?" Zhu Qinghong walked to the corridor, "I told you that the number of people coming to seek refuge has increased. If you pick one up, I will give you a piece of meat. It is snowing heavily outside, and I still go out to pick up people in this weather. Your obsession with meat is really..."
The crisp and sweet words are like the sound of nature. The man looked up and saw the beautiful woman, and was stunned for a moment.
The black panther looked disgusted and pressed the man's head with his paws: "Look directly at His Majesty. Do you want to die? Why don't you kowtow?"
His Majesty?
The man was shocked. He tried to raise his head but was pushed down again.
After several attempts, he gave up: "Excuse me, girl, where is this place?"
