163 The Demons and Ghosts Are Coming Out
Some living people wander like soulless ghosts, not knowing what they want to do or where they want to go? And some are kneeling on the ground and crying, or cursing at the sky, but their voices are hoarse.
Some people have entered Yongping City and wandered around the ruins, trying to find something useful, but they often find nothing. All the things have been scraped away by Jianlu.
There are also a few people with relatively strong bodies, in groups of three or five, or in groups of four or five people. When they see the living people wearing good clothes, they will come forward without hesitation to snatch them.
"I am patient, so I can take off my pants by myself." One of them shouted impatiently to an old man who was well-dressed.
Around him were a few wooden sticks that they had found from there, and one of them had blood on the stick.
The old man surrounded them protected his two grandsons behind him and begged to answer: "Wang Laowu, let me go when we meet each other! Without pants, I will be frozen to death! I can't die. If I die, how can my two grandsons live! Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
"Grandpa, grandpa, wuwuwu..." Two boys, seven or eight years old, hugged the old man and started crying while shouting. In just over a day, life suddenly changed drastically, which had already left the two children at a loss. At this time, they saw the only support crying, and they were even more helpless. They felt like the sky was falling, and they could only rely on the old man tightly.
When the Wang Laowu heard this, there was no sympathy on his face, but a hint of pleasure appeared. He only heard him say, "Haha, weren't you so arrogant before? We didn't even bother to birds. Now we know that we are here to ask for help? Come on, lick my upper."
"Wang Laowu, I have something for you during the holidays! You can do it, let us go!" The old man continued to beg and defended.
But Wang Laowu didn't listen to this and shouted angrily: "Will you add it?"
His accomplices were cheering and shouting and cheering from the side.
A trace of anger flashed across the old man's face, but when he saw his two grandchildren, he felt ache in his heart and immediately made a decision and said, "Okay, I'll lick it."
Seeing Mr. Wang, who was once high and tall, licking his upper, Wang Laowu laughed up and suddenly kicked Mr. Wang down, and then shouted: "Old guy! Come on, everyone, strip his pants, the material is good, and I guess it will be sold for a few dollars when I look back. Also, these two children look at the tender skin and pick them up in the city!"
"No, no!" Mr. Wang was so scared that he shouted in fear when he heard that his two grandsons were about to be arrested and went to the city, "Are you not afraid of the imperial court's laws when you do this?"
"Haha, Wang Fa?" Wang Laowu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "Do you think that so many old and weak will come to take care of us? The people in the court will only show their face until we are almost dead!"
Mr. Wang actually thought so, otherwise he would have threatened the king's law at the beginning. But now it is useless to beg, so he tried to grasp the last life-saving straw and at least say it out.
Amid the crying, Mr. Wang's pants were stripped off, and even his clothes were not spared. Then the people laughed and grabbed the two children and left.
The naked king was desperate to hold his grandson, but he was kicked over. When he got up, Wang Laowu and others had already walked away.
Such a scene occurs from time to time among hundreds of thousands of people outside the city. Some of them have relatively strong force and cruel people are confused by a group of people and start robbing, and even killing people.
Some people with more relatives can still fight together, while those who have been captured or killed by Jianluo will be in trouble. They either run away from a distance or cry and beg. But these are basically useless. In the cold winter, can they escape? Crying and beg, and beg cannot make these people who take advantage of the situation and robbery.
Among these hundreds of thousands of people, in addition to the robbers, there were also some who were obviously not long ago, because among them, young people were shouting to those who were surrounding them, and some people they liked were bowing together and then they went forward to tie a strap and hand over some food.
With such a demonstration effect, more people immediately surrounded him. The person in the leader was loudly preaching: "...What is the hometown of the emptiness, the old mother without birth? The old mother without birth is the ancient Buddha of heaven. She wants to save the children of the world and return to heaven to avoid disasters. This heaven is the hometown of the emptiness. As the darkest period is now, she sent Maitreya Buddha to come to save the world. Only by believing in me, Maitreya Buddha, can you escape from the darkness and escape from the sea of suffering. If you are not pious enough..."
Some knowledgeable people knew at first glance that they were from the White Lotus Sect and were forbidden by the government. In the second year of Tianqi, Xu Hongru from the White Lotus Sect was suppressed by the court in chaos.
If they meet people from the White Lotus Sect in normal times, they will not have time to hide, but at this moment, they are suffering from a disaster and do not believe that the court will care about the elderly and weak. If the White Lotus Sect has food in their hands, they will care about the White Lotus Sect. They join the ranks of believers in order to obtain the protection of the old mother without birth and Maitreya Buddha.
The man in his thirties, the strong man in his thirties, couldn't help but secretly praised his wise decision-making in his heart when he saw more and more believers joining.
They were originally entrenched on a mountain outside Changli City, thinking about developing believers after Jianlu attacked the city, but they did not expect that Changli would win the war. The appearance of Guanning cavalry scared them to move overnight. They wandered around the sphere of influence of Jianlu and continued to look for opportunities to preach, but now they finally found a good opportunity.
In the original history, this group of White Lotus scholars retreated in the Battle of Changli, and after Jianlu retreated, they were suppressed by Zuo Ying, the Minzhuang Li Shiqi, who was selected by Zuo Ying to lead people to suppress them.
At this time, outside Yongping City, after Jianlu retreated, all kinds of demons and monsters appeared. If the court let it go, although countless people would starve to death, it would also cause more problems. In the despair of the people, even if it was just the old and the weak, the consequences would be unpredictable.
Every time there are major disasters, it is a time to test people's hearts. At this moment, I don't know how many people are desperate. Just like the naked old man, his whole body is frozen purple, and now he only breathes, and he wants to crawl into the city desperately and stubbornly.
Suddenly, a faint sound of thunder came from a distance. After a while, the sound became clearer, and it was the sound of horse hooves, many horse hooves.
Unexpectedly, everyone stopped moving and looked to the east where the sound of horse hooves came.
A big flag fluttered in the wind, and the knights were wearing red battle robes, which made these Ming people recognize them at a glance.
There is also an update that I went home after get off work and wrote an update, which was around 21:30.
