Li Changan thought that the siege battle did not come at the first time. Murong's army arrived three days ago, just waiting for subsequent food, supplies and siege tools, so the war did not start immediately.

The siege was in the early morning seven days later.

A melodious horn sounded, and the Murong Kingdom's army began to attack the city, and the fighting sounded outside the city sounded.

Li Changan squatted at the door of his shop, watching the ignited wolf smoke, the symphony of soldiers and swords lasted all day. As the Murong Army's army cried out, the two sides ceased to rest in the evening, preparing for the next round of siege.

Time passed day by day, and the siege battle never stopped.

Li Changan was injured by the blue bird, and the hidden diseases left behind gradually improved a lot after being recuperated these days, and his pale face also returned to blood.

The weather began to turn colder, and it started to snow in Hongyun City, located in the southwest.

After a light snow, twenty days have passed since the siege. In the past few days, corpses will be dropped from time to time in the sky, which means that the monks have also joined the war.

In the past few days, Li Chang'an woke up from the sunrise and the moon rose and fell asleep. He had already fasted the grains and did not have to eat grains, but he began to boil water, boil tea, cut vegetables and cook.

It was cold today and it was almost dusk. Li Changan had just closed the door and was about to rest.

"Dang thump..."

A rapid knock on the door sounded.

Li Changan had no choice but to walk over and open the store door.

There was a team of soldiers wearing armor standing outside the door. These soldiers all had cultivation levels, ranging from third to fifth levels of the Qi Refining Period, but their qi and blood were strong, so they should practice physical cultivation techniques.

"What's wrong with you?"

The leading soldier said simply and clearly: "Recruitment!"

Li Changan thought about it and refused to try and said, "Can I not go?"

The leader had a obviously bad temper. He waved to his subordinates behind him and said, "Take it away!"

In this way, Li Changan was swept into an open space, where many ordinary mortals were forced to be conquered, as well as some cultivators with low cultivation.

Li Changan stood in the crowd, looking at the sparse soldiers guarding the city above the city, and the people who were forced to recruit on the field, muttered to himself, "Have you reached this point? It seems that he has not been away from the city."

Those who were forced to recruit were assigned tasks, some were responsible for carrying bodies, some were responsible for assisting in the treatment of wounded soldiers, and some were responsible for chopping wood and cooking. Most of the soldiers in the army only had the cultivation level of Qi Refining and could not fast, so they had to waste a lot of manpower to chop wood and cook. The Han Dynasty also developed marching pills, which was far more powerful than fasting pills, but the price was much more expensive.

Li Changan's mission was to dig a corpse pit, and he was a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man cried and complained, "It's all my fault that my wife didn't give birth sooner or later, but she gave birth to a baby while siegeing the city, which delayed the time to leave the city. The Lord of Hongyun City is not a thing, so he closed the city gate well. The military strategy says 'encirclement three quarries and one', why can't we open a door? Let's go out every day."

Li Changan stretched out his shovel, shoveled out some soil from the soil, and replied: "Brother Xu, 'surrounding three que 1' means the side that attacks the city. If the side that guards the city opens the city gate, wouldn't the enemy go straight in?"

The middle-aged man said to himself: "Hey, when will this war end?"

Li Changan looked at the city wall, "It's almost done."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man showed joy on his face, "Brother Li is here, I heard that the accent is not local, how do you know it's almost over?"

"I came from the east." Li Changan explained: "Hongyun City has fallen to a forced concession. It must be because of the lack of troops, so I guess it's almost over."

"You said that, there is some reason." The middle-aged man nodded.

Li Changan asked, "Brother Xu, aren't you worried about the city being broken?"

"What's there to worry about? Even if the city is broken, the Murong Kingdom's army will not make things difficult for us ordinary people."

"The poem says, 'The country is broken and the mountains are everywhere, the city is spring and the grass is deep'. If Hongyun City is really captured, would Brother Xu feel uncomfortable and humiliated because of this?"

"Isn't this city still broken? You should live in the present moment. You don't have so much spare time to consider so many things or not."

"Living in the present?" Li Changan said curiously: "But the book says that being a person should be to be in peace and be prepared without any trouble, and to prepare for the future, right?"

The middle-aged man was stunned, "I have never read a book. Don't tell me the big truth. I don't understand it. What the book says is what the book says, and I know how I should live."

Li Changan gave a thumbs up, "Brother Xu, your words are rough but not rough, and you have a different insight."

"That's not!" The middle-aged man proudly waved the shovel, "If my family hadn't been poor and refused to spend money to let me study, maybe we could have become a high-ranking official!"

While the two of them were talking, the person responsible for carrying the corpses brought two corpses.

Both bodies were tragic in death. The first corpse was cut dozens of times, unrecognizable, and half of the body turned into flesh paste, but they still held the knife firmly in their hands and were unwilling to let go.

Another corpse had a broken arm, but the fatal injury was a shot through the chest, leaving a hole. Because the air was cold, the blood flowing out of the chest had frozen, leaving only a bright red.

After the transporter of the corpse threw the two corpses into the corpse pit, he went to transport the remaining corpses. Li Changan glanced at the middle-aged man who was stunned and took the lead in pushing the shovel to bury the corpse.

"These two unlucky guys died so miserably. Brother Li, aren't you afraid of seeing this?"

"I used to be afraid, but now I think it's okay."

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "Brother Li has seen the world! This is the first time I have seen such a dead person."

Li Changan did not reply. After burying the bodies of two strangers, he clasped his hands together and recited: "Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, life and death, spirits are finally destroyed, and all things are eventually destroyed. In glory, it is just a handful of yellow earth and a handful of blue gray. In a hundred years of life, how can there be eternal immortality? The sunset in the end of the day is terrifying, but only a moment of time."

Listening to catchy words, the middle-aged man asked, "What are Brother Li doing these words that sound like a big question."

"Recite the sutras." Li Chang'an said: "The two of us will be buried after their deaths. It is also a kind of fate. I hope they will have a good end in the next life."

"Brother Li, it's considered fate that we can dig a hole together. After I die, can you read this for you?"

"Brother Xu, don't talk nonsense, this is for the dead.

"I am a person without any taboos, it's okay."

...

It was not until dawn that the Murong Army outside the city began to attack the city again. Because there were no soldiers supervising and inspecting, Li Changan and the middle-aged were able to go home.

Life is very fragile. In just that night, Li Changan had buried twenty-seven corpses.
