Chapter 145 Silence

Give out money, and those who give out money keep giving out money.

Pay money, and those who pay money keep paying money.

The impact of long-term hunger on the body cannot be solved by temporary satiety.

The young couple's physical weakness was real. Although they had eaten a few pieces of large cakes, the long journey here had taken a toll on their physical strength. They had also been standing here busy for a long time, and the couple could no longer bear it.

Sweating, even a little shaking hands.

Facing the victims, Yu Qing turned his back to them and didn't notice.

The guard who found a wooden board and put it on the horse pile noticed it and shouted, "Brother, these two may not be able to bear it anymore, why not let them go in first."

Yu Qing looked back and understood.

The guard continued: "If you can trust me, I will ask a few brothers to come over and take over for them. They can make it faster than the two of them."

How fast? I dare not give you money! Yu Qing sneered and rolled his eyes at him, but he still acquiesced and went to collect the unfinished money from the couple. Each of them gave seven taels to each person, and paid him back after he had given it.

I apologized and said, "I can only give you these, sorry."

The couple understood the meaning of giving an extra two taels to each person. The total of four taels would not exceed five taels, and five taels could save one more person.

It’s not much money, it’s just your heart.

The couple looked at each other and saluted, "Thank you!"

The man then asked: "May I ask your benefactor's surname?"

"Stop being so nagging, just pretend you've never seen her before and let's go." Yu Qing waved his hand impatiently. He was indeed in a bad mood now.

The couple had no choice but to bow and bow again, then turned around and left.

The guard also got up and left, picking up helpers.

After turning their backs for a while, Yu Qing turned back to watch the young couple leaving. He really didn't know how the two of them would face each other after they recovered.

When the girl was raped by Tao Yongli and the others, he wanted to help, but he had no food in his hand. The food in his hand was robbed by a group of victims earlier. The couple were hungry people and just wanted to eat, so he took it.

If they don't come out, the couple is willing to make an exchange with Tao Yongli and the others.

What could he do? He had seen too many miserable situations of hungry people along the way, and he could not do anything to prevent the couple from getting food.

Of course, he could also convince Tao Yongli and the others to let the woman go, based on face, and then give them a piece of bread from Tao Yongli and the others based on face.

But what's the point?

There are many women affected by the disaster, and it is useless for him to stop them once.

He sat back and watched the unbearable scene happen.

He didn't regret that he was late in attacking Tao Yongli and the others.

If something terrible hadn't happened, I wouldn't have heard the news that Shangwan City was nearby when the transaction took place.

The dry food they carry cannot bring so many people out of the disaster area. Maybe selecting some people to sell them is actually saving people. As for morality, is there any morality in this place where people cannibalize people? Those who stand in the situation

Ethical people who eat and drink outside are just standing and talking without pain in their backs. They are beasts, and those people should be allowed to experience it.

He also learned that Shangwan City was nearby, so he decided to move Tao Yongli and the others.

The guard quickly brought five capable men over, and Yu Qing threw some banknotes to them. The five of them stood in a row at the bridgehead and handed out the money. The speed was indeed much faster.

The money was distributed quickly, like water, and Yu Qing became more and more distressed.

Feeling distressed was secondary. As time passed, panic gradually appeared in Yu Qing's eyes.

The change is almost gone, but the number of refugees gathered outside the city shows no sign of decreasing.

This is impossible. With my own change and the change of Tao Yongli and the three others, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people have entered the city. Why are there so many people outside the city?

Soon, he realized that the number of refugees he saw outside the city was only in the direction outside the city.

There were also refugees gathering in other directions outside the city. Now that there was an opening to enter the city, they slowly gathered in this direction.

After understanding, his expression felt like he had a toothache. What would happen when the change ran out?

What are you afraid of?

After the change was distributed, the hands of the five money-distributors were empty.

Facing a group of disaster victims, Yu Qing subconsciously tightened his wallet slowly and had no intention of taking out any more money.

I don’t know how many victims were heartbroken by this.

They have been afraid to speak out, hoping to maintain the eternal progress, hoping that their turn will come safely. They are not only afraid of making Yu Qing unhappy due to lack of rules, but also afraid of any accidents. They have been staring at the slowly deflating leather bag.

in prayer.

Suddenly, a man knelt down in front of Yu Qing.

Immediately afterwards, everyone nearby also knelt down in front of Yu Qing.

Then the people gathered at the scene were like a tide that suddenly receded. People under the moonlight spread outward layer by layer, kneeling down one after another, and kneeling down towards Yu Qing.

The victims who couldn't see clearly what was happening here from a distance didn't know what was going on in a short period of time, but they knew that there would be nothing wrong if they just followed it, so they also knelt down one after another.

Has anyone experienced this kind of scene?

He knelt down silently and silently.

There are no mountains shouting for long live, no shouting and begging, only silence.

Countless people knelt down silently and looked at Yu Qing silently, their eyes full of begging, but no one spoke, and the sporadic sobs made people feel even more depressed.

Silence is sometimes more powerful than sound.

At least it made Yu Qing's soul feel an extremely strong shock. This silent power was so shocking that it made his scalp numb. He could understand the silent expressions of these victims. These victims really had no choice, really.

Thinking of him as the only one who can save them!

The defenders by the moat seemed to be petrified in an instant. They all stared at this scene in a daze, and also felt a strong shock.

They have seen countless victims kneeling down to beg, but they have never seen so many victims kneeling in silence.

Never before, this is the first time I have seen it in my life!

A sergeant bit his lip hard.

There were soldiers with tears streaming down their faces.

Gradually, the eyes of the guard general and all the sergeants were fixed on Yu Qing's motionless back, wondering what kind of decision this man would make.

Of course, no matter what choice he makes, no one will blame him.

Because there is no qualification.

No one has the right to blame him. Even the hungry people are rarely aware of it, so they are silent.

Because no one does it better than this guy.

Facing the countless gazes on his knees, Yu Qing could even feel the defenders behind him staring at him. The scene seemed to be frozen, and the swaying firelight was suppressed by the aura.

Yu Qing slowly raised his head to look at the sky, secretly worrying about God!

In full view of everyone, he moved his hands, suddenly opened his wallet, grabbed a handful of banknotes, turned around, waved it and roared at the guard sitting on the horse pile: "There is no change, what the hell do you tell me to do?"

"He roared like blood, his eyes were red, and his eyeballs were filled with bloodshot eyes at this moment, as if he was trying to fight for his life.

He hoped that the guard would give him a reason that would allow him to close his bag and turn away.

The guard took a deep breath and slowly stood up on the horse-rejecting stake. Knowing that it would be a bit troublesome to have no change, he gave a group of refugees large banknotes and asked them to divide them among themselves. Something was bound to happen and if it was left to the officers and soldiers to take charge, the current officers and soldiers

Is it still trustworthy?

He suddenly turned his head and roared angrily: "Old ghost, go to the bank and bring the people from the bank over as quickly as possible!"

The officer named Lao Gui said loudly: "Sir, the bank must be closed at this time!"

The guard roared again, "Then bring a few more people and break open the door of the bank. As long as the people are not dead, bring them to me!"

"Yes!" The old ghost loudly accepted the order and quickly called a small group of people to run away.

A little bit angry.

In fact, the defenders were suffering the most in the whole city, which could be seen from the dark circles under their eyes.

There are some things that the people in the city can only discuss behind their backs, and officials can make decisions in the government offices, but those who guard the city walls can see with their own eyes the tragedy of cannibalism happening every day.

No sane person can stand this.

Every day I watched the city's people pleading, but nothing could be done.

Upon hearing the solution shouted by the guard, the victims kneeling on the ground burst into tears, perhaps crying with joy, but no one stood up and continued to kneel and wait.

Yu Qing, who was being knelt down and worshiped by a group of people, was like someone who had been cast a restraining spell. He looked up at the stars in silence, and the hands that clenched the leather bag seemed to be about to burst into tears.

The old ghost lived up to his expectations and didn't keep us waiting for too long. He brought the people from the bank here urgently.

The people from the bank were obviously more experienced in handling this kind of thing than Yu Qing and the others. After arriving, they set up two tables at the city gate to open the business. The shopkeeper personally brought two waiters to the bridge and communicated with Yu Qing and the guard general.

, immediately put up a posture, stretched out his hand to Yu Qing, "Bank notes!"

Yu Qing gritted his teeth and took out a note worth one thousand taels and gave it to him.

The shopkeeper took the silver note and appraised it for a while, then sang: "One thousand taels of silver note is correct, and two hundred people have passed it. Let's start!" He put the silver note into his sleeve.

Yu Qing immediately waved his sword and pointed at the victims to come first.

One of the two clerks holds the ink pad, and the other holds the seal.

One stamps the victims’ hands and the other points.

The shopkeeper sang from time to time, "If you have the stamp, go to the table at the city gate and receive five taels of silver with the stamp to enter the city."

The victims who passed by came to the table at the city gate one by one and followed the instructions. A bank clerk wiped out the seal with a pen, and the other clerks handed out money. The victims who received the money went directly into the city. It was such a smooth process.

The speed of entering the city is much faster than before. The opening of the suspension bridge is stamped with stamps and let go, which is called fast.

"One thousand taels per piece, exchange for two hundred people and pass..."

The faster people passed, the faster Yu Qing paid again.

"One of the two thousand taels of silver was correct, and it was passed by 400 people..."

"One of the 5,000 taels of silver is correct, and it can be exchanged for 1,000 people and passed..."

The banknotes Yu Qing took out were getting bigger and bigger, and no one knew how he was feeling at this time...

The post house in the city.

"My lord, wake up, Lord Zhan, it's time to wake up."

The yamen servant who had been told to come and call him on time was urging him by a couch.

"Ah..." Zhan Muchun suddenly exclaimed and sat up, breathing heavily. After seeing the person in front of him clearly, he breathed a sigh of relief and waved his hand to signal him to leave.

I had a nightmare this night.

He was so tired every day that he could close his eyes when he fell down. But Brother Shiheng, who didn't dare to see him, met him in his dream, scolded him and even dragged him to see the victims.

He tried his best to explain to brother Shi Heng in his dream all kinds of miserable situations.

The two were entangled in the dream until he just woke up.

After waking up and regaining consciousness, I suddenly listened carefully and found that it was not the sound in my dream, but the real commotion outside.

What's wrong? What happened?

He quickly put on his shoes and socks and ran out to see what was going on.
