Looking in the direction of Liu Bei's finger, the entire Qingniu Mountain is covered with ice and snow, the silver mountains and jade trees, the sky and the earth are vast, like a glazed world and a jade universe.
Creation is magnificent, but it is just that.
But I always feel like something is missing?
Less popular.
It is now lunch time, and fires have been lit to cook in Toad Village, and smoke is curling up. But in the huge Qingniu Mountain, only Toad Village is burning with smoke.
"they are……"
"There's no food."
"It can't be that serious, right?"
"That's how serious it is."
The situation is more serious than Cheng Dalei thought. Since the beginning of spring this year, God has not received a drop of rain. There is a severe drought in Youzhou thousands of miles away. In spring, one stone is planted, and in autumn, eight buckets are harvested. As soon as winter comes, God can’t wait to rain a heavy snow.
The crops buried in the soil were frozen to death in the soil before they sprouted.
Because the system rewards Toad Village with a mountain spring, Cheng Dalei does not have a deep understanding of this. In short, the life in Toad Village is passable, but Cheng Dalei cannot imagine the life outside Toad Village.
There has been a severe drought for thousands of miles, and some people in Youzhou City have used boys and girls to offer sacrifices to the autumn rain; the grasslands of the Northern Barbarians have become sandy, and herds of cattle and sheep have starved to death. Huerle has brought people to Blackstone City to clear grass and valleys; there are bullies in Liu Bei's hometown.
Liu Bei was angry and killed a tenant who couldn't pay the rent, and brought Guan Zhang to join Cheng Dalei...
There are many things that are complicated, but tracing back to the root cause, they are all caused by this severe drought.
The words that can only be seen in history books such as people dying of hunger in the fields, people exchanging children to eat, and breaking bones to cook are not that far away from Cheng Dalei.
"The entire Qingniu Mountain is almost out of food. If this continues, they will definitely take risks again. When the five thousand hungry people arrive, in order to survive, Toad Village may not be able to stop them. The master must make plans for this matter in advance.
"
Cheng Dalei could already imagine the scene of these people charging towards Toad Village at all costs in order to survive. With a population of 180 people in Toad Village, they might not be able to stop them.
"But this may not be an opportunity. In this day and age, human life is as cheap as a dog. We just take this opportunity to recruit troops, wipe out the other cottages in Qingniu Mountain, and unify Qingniu Mountain." Liu Bei.
Cheng Dalei didn't answer, and still looked down the mountain. He saw two people sneaking in the forest in the distance, burying something in the snow.
"What are they doing?"
"Bury the dead."
"Is it necessary to bury a dead person secretly?"
"What if I don't dig it out secretly and eat it?" Liu Bei said matter-of-factly.
Cheng Dalei felt retching in his stomach.
"People have already started to die. If this continues, more and more people will die." Liu Bei said: "If the master can't stand it, he can disperse the food from our village. But in this way, our village will not be able to survive."
This winter.”
Liu Bei looked at Cheng Dalei: "There are two paths, which one will the master choose?"
"It seems that the second way is not good for me?" Cheng Dalei.
"It can't be said that there are no benefits at all. At least it can win people's hearts or bring peace of mind."
Cheng Dalei fell silent and remained silent for a while.
Dude, as the saying goes, being overbearing and ruthless, the road for the strong to conquer the world is destined to be piled with countless corpses. Take this opportunity to recruit troops, sweep down Qingniu Mountain, and bravely take the first step of your rise.
Du, righteous young man, the people around you are in dire straits. As a righteous young man, do your best to help them tide over the difficulties.
While Cheng Dalei was silent, he received two system prompts one after another. This was the system issuing two tasks at the same time, a multiple-choice question. When Cheng Dalei accepted one of them, he had to give up the other one.
This is not a good choice.
Cheng Dalei didn't eat much during lunch. The food in Toad Village was pretty good, with wine and meat, but holding the bowl in his hand, Cheng Dalei felt like he couldn't swallow anything.
In the afternoon, Cheng Dalei left the village alone. He led the thin horse, put a sword on his waist, and rode alone to Luoye City.
As time went by, the rumor that he was wanted in Luoye City had disappeared. But even so, Cheng Dalei only managed to sneak into Luoye City after giving the guards a bag of copper coins.
Walking on the street with the horse, the street is deserted and not many people go out in the cold weather.
Cheng Dalei came to look for Su Ying.
He led the horse into the backyard of the restaurant. A waiter had already picked up the horse. Most of the people in the restaurant were from Toad Village, so they all knew Cheng Dalei.
"The boss."
"Well, where is Miss Su?"
"The boss lady is in the lobby. Someone happened to be looking for her today?"
"Who is that?" Cheng Dalei walked slowly towards the hall.
"People from the Su family."
There were a few people sitting around in the restaurant lobby. Xiaodie stood behind Su Ying, her heart beating so nervously.
Many people came to the Su family today, including old people from the Su family, Su Ying's brothers, and several prestigious old people in the city.
Su Molin is Su Ying's uncle and has high prestige in the family. He had a dark face and looked around sideways from the moment he entered the door.
"The Su family's daughter shows up outside in such a dignified manner. The Su family's face has been completely disgraced by you."
"I have been kicked out of the house. From that moment on, I am no longer a member of the Su family." Su Ying.
"This restaurant originally belonged to the Su family. Since you think you are not from the Su family, you should return this restaurant."
"Hey, you guys are being unreasonable. You were the one who left the restaurant to the lady in the first place. Now that the business of the restaurant is good, you want to take the restaurant back." Xiaodie.
"Do you have the qualifications to speak here? Sure enough, there are slaves just like the master." Su Molin snorted coldly, looked at Su Ying and said: "Either you return this restaurant now, your life and death will be related to the Su family's."
It doesn't matter. Either just go home with me and don't embarrass the Su family outside."
"What are you doing here?"
"Who is talking? Is there no one here who knows the rules?" Su Molin squinted.
A man wrapped in a big robe opened the door curtain and walked in, raising his eyebrows: "I'm talking, what's wrong?"
The sparkle in his eyes was exposed, and murderous intent was dripping. Su Molin felt as if he was being stared at by a big insect in the mountains, and a cold air ran up his spine.
Outside Blackstone City, an ax struck Hurle, and blood not only fell on his body, but also soaked into his heart. Cheng Dalei had long been infected with a tyrannical spirit.
"Who are you?" Su Molin stood up subconsciously, as if facing a formidable enemy.
"roll!"
Wild beasts in the mountains and forests break into the pig pen, and even just sneezing can make the poultry and livestock in the yard tremble.
Xiaodie was surprised to see that the Su family, who had been just like Yue Linyuan just now, now left in despair.
Su Ying's eyes fell on Cheng Dalei, looked up and down, and pulled a handkerchief from Cheng Dalei's waist.
Cheng Dalei broke out in a cold sweat: "Ha, I was about to give it to you, but you discovered it unexpectedly. You are so smart."
"Why are you here?" Su Ying was noncommittal.
Cheng Dalei shrugged: "I'll come to you to buy some food."
