Chapter 763

"Ah, no, no... If those officers are really so cruel... You can expose their crimes and let the more senior officers do justice..." The two fools are simple-minded, with shallow knowledge, and their IQ is similar to that of seven or eight years old. There is not much difference in the children.

"...Presiding over justice?" The middle-aged man sneered disdainfully as if he had heard some kind of joke, and said ruthlessly, "How old is this, does the word justice still exist? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. , the whole society is falling apart. Whoever has the biggest fist is the boss. Those officers are not ordinary people. They are the inheritors and people who are useful to Yongcheng. We dispensable waste wood is for Yongcheng. It's just a burden...our life and death are just mere numbers in the eyes of many big people..."

A brother next to the middle-aged man couldn't help but take a step forward and shouted angrily at Ming Jiali:

"Yes, yesterday, a few brothers who lived next door ran to the military headquarters to ask for a petition, and they all knelt in front of the steps... but they were all fired away by the soldiers, and finally on the way back, they were also attacked by In retaliation for those officers who were rich in their own pockets, they were beaten to the point where their noses were bruised and their hands and feet were broken, and two brothers were killed on the spot..."

"what?"

Ming Jiali was stunned, opened his mouth, and wanted to say something, but it was hard to say something like a stick in his throat. After a long while, he said in anguish:

"You two fools don't believe it... Master Haitang once said that Yongcheng has been governed by law, and killing people casually will kill you. No one dares to kill people in broad daylight..."

"With all due respect, are you really an idiot? In such a chaotic period, legal management is just a cover to appease the hearts of the people. Millions of refugees in Yongcheng are lacking in supplies everywhere, and they may come under and in the sky at any time. A large number of worms are born, and thousands of people die every day. If you want to kill a few people silently, it is not easy for those inheritor officers? Don't talk about the incident yesterday, just talk about the collusion between officials and bandits It’s also a lot of grabbing. Every day in this poor kiln, there are gangsters who come to forcibly collect protection fees. Isn’t that the group of officers who acquiesced? They scolded the next door, dare we ordinary people, in front of the officers, just offer them head-to-head Fatty pork!" The middle-aged man was obviously suppressed for a long time, and when he was stimulated, he even vomited bitterly and cursed at Ming Jiali.

Maybe he was a little extreme...

But the actual situation is that there are as many as 100,000 officers in Yongcheng, and each inheritor has a different heart. Some are good and some are bad, and their qualities are also uneven. Some people are enthusiastic to help others, some are selfish, and some are selfish. Although there are not many officers with black hearts, it is not without them that even if there are 10,000 black hearts out of 100,000 people, they are enough to cause trouble for one party and cause complaints.

To put it bluntly, it is still a matter of resources...

The food in Yongcheng is so little, it can only support 7 million people to barely survive, and everyone eats 30% full... But who would want to eat 30% full and endure the torture of hunger every day? Have a comfortable meal?

With this reason, it is naturally unfair, and the steamed buns distributed by the army cannot be equally distributed to every starving refugee...

In fact, it is not uncommon for this kind of self-enrichment, deduction of food and bloody suppression. Even in peacetime, there are often natural disasters in a certain district, and the superiors allocate funds for relief, but the officials of the government are stripped layer by layer. You take 10%, I take 20%, and in the end the money that fell into the hands of the common people is less than one-tenth, and some are cruel enough to not give a penny to the victims, and the victims have no idea that the state has already issued them. Relief money, but all the money fell into the pockets of "poor" officials.

"...Er fool, Er fool may be able to help..."

The muscles on Ming Jiali's cheeks twitched, his eyes looked at the pale faces of a dozen men, and he intuitively told him that these dozen men had been hungry for several days, so he said in a muffled voice:

"Er silly go back and tell Master Haitang... She has a fiery temperament and a strong sense of justice... If she finds out about this, she will definitely help you get justice..."

Ming Jiali patted his chest to assure, but his image and tone were stupid, who would dare to have expectations for him?

"Then, trouble you..."

The middle-aged man bowed his hands. Although he didn't have much confidence in Ming Jiali, there was still some vague hope. What if Ming Jiali could really help?

"Big brother, it's getting late, let's hurry out to find food, we can't delay any longer..." A tall and thin man next to him reminded him that he felt there was no need to waste time with a fool like Ming Jiali.

"Well, let's go..." The middle-aged man agreed, raised his head and looked at the gray sky, as if he was worried about whether there would be a heavy snowfall in the sky.

"Wait, you guys... you're all so hungry that you're too hungry to go out. It's best not to go out in such cold weather..." Ming Jiali said worriedly. He could see that most of these men were very weak. Be careful to fall down in the ice and snow, and nine out of ten you will freeze to death.

"Little brother, sometimes, there are some things that you can't do without..."

The middle-aged man gave a wry smile, then straightened his face and sighed:

"We are the bottom of Yongcheng. We once thought of joining the city construction team to build the city wall, but unfortunately we have no way to get in, so naturally we can't earn more food... These days, everyone eats two or three The fist-sized, fluffy steamed buns are already starving and dizzy. After we ran out of food a few days ago, we could only go outside to find new weeds to fill our stomachs..."

There is endless sadness and hardship in the middle-aged man's tone. The vines, old trees, edible leaves and bark planted in Li's old house have all been stripped off, if not because the roots are difficult. They really wanted to eat the roots together.

At this moment, a woman's shrill scream came from the old house, followed by a loud noise...

The middle-aged man's eyebrows moved, and his Adam's apple was rolling.

"Big brother, my sister-in-law is about to give birth..." The companion's expression was extremely strange, and he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Otherwise, big brother, you should take care of your sister-in-law in the house first, and leave the matter of finding food to us. …”

"No need!"

The middle-aged man shook his head decisively and said, "Let's go, let's find food together... This time, I'm going to give everyone a surprise before the baby is born!"

As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man with a dozen companions pushed Ming Jiali away, walked to the corner in three and two steps, and then disappeared into the vast white snow...

Ming Jiali's eyes were lost, and more women's screams came from his ears, his mouth was shaking, and he muttered to himself:

"It turns out... It turns out that most of the people in Yongcheng live in such embarrassment, and everyone is starving... The second fool thought that everyone was like the second fool, and they had enough to eat every day... The one who cried The eldest sister is so pitiful, she has to give birth to a child at such a time of hunger and cold..."

After hesitating for a while, Ming Jiali also raised his head and looked at the sky, clenched his fists violently, a strange firmness flashed in his eyes, and said in a low voice:

"No, Er fool wants to do something for them..."

Thinking of this, Ming Jiali thought of sending them some food. Although he could go back to the army and apply for some food rations, he wanted to help people through his own efforts.

Yes, maybe... you can go to the Yongjiang River. The Yongjiang River is rich in resources. Although there are a lot of deadly insects hidden in the bottom of the water, there are still a very small amount of freshwater fish. If you can catch dozens of fish and bring them back, you must also It can solve the urgent needs, and it can make the eldest sister who is about to give birth happy. At the very least, she can cook some fish soup for her after she gives birth smoothly.

Ming Jiali is really a fool. If he really wants to help people, he can use his authority to mobilize the materials in the army. With his third-level low-level strength, the logistics department of the army will give him a little face. , it was more than enough to give him a few hundred catties of food, but he didn't realize his weight in the army... You know, he performed well in the siege of the female Luo Teng, and he has been promoted to lieutenant colonel .

Ten minutes later—

Ming Jiali appeared on the bank of the Yongjiang River. Although there was a heavy snowfall in the morning and the whole sky was covered in silver, the water of the Yongjiang River was still rushing like a waterfall, rolling to the east, the waves were bright and lingering, reflecting Snow on the river bank.

At minus 30 degrees, it was obvious that there was no way to freeze the Yongjiang River, and the river water kept churning, and it was unknown whether it was the surging of the waves, or the worms under the water were making waves.

Ming Jiali just thought of catching insects and fishing in the river, but he was stunned, because he found that there was a group of people fishing on the bank of the river 100 meters away!

fishing?

how can that be?

This is too absurd, isn't it?

Ming Jiali rubbed his eyes and walked towards the group of fishermen involuntarily. When he got closer, he could clearly see that the group of people in rags were not fishing, but were clearly fishing for insects!

Catch bloodsuckers!

Blood-sucking worms are like yellow eels, long, round and smooth. Their favorite is to burrow into people's skin and suck blood recklessly. , Some hungry people who are dizzy or desperate use blood-sucking worms to satisfy their hunger.

Blood-sucking worms have toxins in their bodies, but this poison is not fatal. , not too much of a problem...

Before Ming Jiali joined the warrior camp, he would go to the Yongjiang River every day to catch blood-sucking worms to satisfy his hunger. The old, the weak, the sick and the disabled from Xijiang City fled to Yongcheng. (To be continued.
