Chapter 91: Flesh Eating 2
In the afternoon, the newly renovated gate of the royal city was closed again, and the trees planted behind the gate were nine horizontal up and down, and eight vertical ones were topped, which was considered to be a complete closure of the city gate, not as in the morning, but only one horizontal and vertical.
The city gate has been renovated, and the charred corpses that have been burned in half, or not at all, in front of the painted wall have been cleaned up, leaving only a field of charcoal ashes. The white mirage was plastered on the walls again, and the blackened areas were covered. The two studios covered their mouths and noses with water-soaked brocade scarves and concentrated on painting, and under their brushes, the streets, houses, and skies in the city were ...... Again it comes alive on the white wall. Chen Sheng, who had been ordered to clean the doorway, was watching them depict the wall that the soldiers had called the ghost wall.
'Ahem ......' was stared at, and an elderly painter had to turn his head to look at Chen Sheng, and saw that it was a handsome young man who was not as good as the crown, because he blocked his mouth and nose and was not easy to speak, so he only waved his hand and asked Chen Sheng to leave.
"Dare to ask sir, is this the witchcraft of the king?" Young and bold, Chen Sheng not only did not leave, but also spoke.
It is said that more than 10,000 people of the Qin and Wei armies were killed in this battle, and no one on their own side was killed. Chen County is located at the turn of Chu and Xia, with many merchants and fast information circulation. Killing 10,000 enemies without losing a single person, Chen Sheng, who loves to listen to the braggings of down-and-out travelers and crippled soldiers, has never heard of such a feat. Like the killing of the Qin generals, many soldiers said that the king had performed witchcraft.
Otherwise, how could those enemy soldiers not rush into the meadow and die? And the key to witchcraft is the painting at the city gate. As soon as the enemy enters the hole, the soul will be sucked away by the painting, and the life that has lost its soul will not resist, but will only be stabbed to death by the sanitation like a nerd.
The explanations of the good deeds in the army are so convincing that some people turn pale when they hear it - they have seen this painting before, and if this painting can really suck souls, then their own souls are safe?
"Yes, yes." The painter nodded mischievously, and they had heard the remarks of the drunken soldiers at noon. "If you look at it again, the soul will be summoned into the painting, and it will not be impossible to go back."
Chen Sheng didn't dare to look at it anymore when he heard this, and his colleagues around him pulled him to leave, but he still asked, "Why isn't that gentleman afraid?" β
"I have a charm, so naturally I'm not afraid." Although the corpse was cleaned up, the smell of barbecued meat or the stench of corpse oil under the painting wall was a little displeased, and said, "If you don't leave, I will paint you on the wall." β
"Ahh Chen Sheng was frightened at this moment, he hurriedly shook it and ran quickly into the deep trench. Then I spent the whole afternoon crying, thinking that the studio would paint itself on the ghost wall.
The trenches were also full of corpses, sliding down from the nine-meter-high city wall and falling on sharp logs, and there was no need to make up for it, and many of them fell and died. The sharp wood of Zhangyu was strung with one enemy pawn after another, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, and it was not easy to clean up. Chen Sheng, who was thinking about the ghost wall, was distracted, and the corpse that was carried to the top of the sharp wood slipped down again, and Wu Chang Chen glared at him angrily: "You dead father!" β
Five families and one army, although the chief of the Wu lives in Tonglu, how can he take a long. The man was old, not tall, and had a loud voice. Chen Sheng jumped a big jump by his roar, he quickly put the fallen corpse and hit the top of the sharp wood, who expected that the corpse sharp wood crossed the crotch for a long time, and after several pulls, the hard corpse snapped into two, and the white maggots in the internal organs slipped out, and the stench came to the nose.
"Servant!" Wu Chang scolded while tying a piece of linen cloth around his mouth and nose, and pointed again, asking him to clean it up. 'Dangdang dang ......', the golden sound of grain distribution happened to sound at this time, Chen Sheng escaped, and he was pulled into the deep trench by his comrade Chen Gou with a frown.
"What's the matter?" Looking at Chen Sheng with a sad face, the other three people in the same army looked at him, and it was the older Chen Shi who asked.
"Then ......" Chen Sheng wanted to say but didn't want to say, Chen Shi asked him again before he said: "The painter said that he wanted to paint me on the wall." β
"On the wall?" Everyone knows very well what the painting wall represents, and the timid Chen Heibuttocks were so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back. Chen Shi also stared at him, incredulous. Only Chen Gou didn't believe it: "The painter must be shocking to you, I am a servant, what is the use of painting on the wall?" β
"Why not?" His subordinates actually slowed down, and Chen Xi immediately stopped and yelled again. "If you don't return, you won't eat."
The chief of the pawn received grain and firewood from the Su officials, and there were twenty soldiers in one pawn, although there were portions, but Chen Xi always felt that there would be no rice to eat if he went late. But he couldn't have imagined that they were really lucky with shit. Chen Chen ran back to the military stove like a thief with grain and vegetable soup. Chen Heibuttocks, who went with him, also looked panicked, ran to the stove and fell asleep, and the honeycomb coal and matches he was holding in his arms flew to the ground.
'Click, click, click...... Chen Shi scraped the flint, ready to start a fire to cook, Chen Chen held him down, looked around, and said, "Wait." β
"Wait?" The military stoves next to him had already lit fires, and hot air was already coming out in the distance, and Chen Shi couldn't figure out what he was waiting for.
Chen Yan held his hands in his arms and didn't explain, Chen Hei's buttocks looked left and right, and he didn't explain, and when a few stoves next to him also began to bubble, Chen Yan sniffed and said hatefully: "They also have meat." β
"Meat?" Chen Sheng, who was worried about being painted on the ghost wall, also forgot his fear at this time, and he also smelled the increasingly strong smell of meat in the stove.
"Today there is little rice, but there is meat and oil." Like witchcraft, Chen Xi took out five pieces of raw meat that had been cut from his arms. I really want to eat meat, even if it's raw! Aiming at the meat strips, Chen Yan took a bite hard, and then chewed it raw. The other three were okay, Chen Hei's buttocks, who had been hungry for a long time, suddenly stretched out his head and wanted to take a bite, Chen Chen's hand shrank, and he immediately fell short.
"You want to eat meat too?" Chen Chen pushed him with a palm, saw the other three looking at him, and said, "The food is also cooked, make rice." β
Coal fire is slower than firewood, it didn't matter before, but this time it is more urgent than the other. As soon as the rice was steaming, the five people who couldn't stand the smell of meat lifted the lid of the kettle and began to grab food. Chen Sheng took a step slower, the meat that was bitten by Chen Chen returned to him, and he was about to complain, but Chen Chen's meat had been choked by him, and he was still chewing in his mouth, and his eyes were staring at the pot again. Chen Sheng didn't dare to say anything more, grabbed the meat strip and took a few steps back, and then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed on it.
Meat, people with fields may be able to eat a piece of the sacrifice, Chen Sheng, a fieldless servant can only wait outside the door of the rich and noble every year - this kind of people's sacrifice has been eaten by ghosts and gods, how much will be distributed to the widow and orphan, as long as the eyes are fast, the most important thing is not afraid of being beaten, you can always grab a piece of meat. But today, eating meat without being beaten has never been in my memory.
Chewing and chewing, Chen Sheng's tears fell. The meat is so delicious!
Chewing and chewing, Chen Hei's buttocks began to cry, and he sobbed: "Why do I have meat today?" β
"Eating meat and crying, what a servant!" Chen Chen, who had licked his fingers, gave him another palm, but this time Chen Hei's buttocks didn't pounce.
"I smell it," Chen Heibuttocks cried even more, "Woo woo...... only... The trapped man is full of wine and meat, woo...... Woowoo woo ......"
As soon as Chen Hei's buttocks mentioned Chen Shi, who was still chewing meat, he choked out, but fortunately, the meat choked on his own hands.
"Really?" Chen Shi, Chen Gou, and Chen Sheng didn't go to receive the grain, and when they heard this, they felt a chill in their hearts and looked at him dumbfounded. The people who were trapped in the battle naturally knew that those Qin soldiers who rushed to the front and did not wear armor were also full of alcohol after they died. The old pawn said that they went to the battlefield to die when they were full of wine and food.
"If not, why eat meat?" Chen Hei's buttocks choked, but he didn't want him to say the next sentence: "If you die, you will die, as long as there is meat to eat." Taking advantage of Chen Shi's sluggishness, he snatched the lump of meat choked out of his hand and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, and then swallowed it hard before he could react.
"You!" Chen Shi pointed at him angrily, while the others began to grab soup and food because of Chen Hei's buttocks.
The soup is oiled, the oil on it is wafting a layer, the aroma is overflowing, drink a sip of the five internal organs and every pore of the whole body feels comfortable, and the rice, the rice is also a hundred times more fragrant than usual. In an instant, a pot of rice and a pot of soup reached the bottom. When Chen Sheng held the kettle and poured the last drop of oil and water into his mouth, Chen Heibuttocks, who was determined to die, snatched the copper kettle and ran to the drinking place, poured a small half of the kettle of boiling water, and drank it beautifully. He was like this, and the other Wu people also followed suit, running to pour boiling water to the bottom of the kettle.
"This shaft." Chen Xi was old, thinking that he had bitten Chen Sheng's flesh one more, he was proud, and he didn't mind Chen Hei's buttocks being like this. Chen Shi's family is better, and he is the head of the family, so he can always eat some meat; Chen Sheng and Chen Gou were different, and the two of them ran over to grab the copper kettle with Chen Hei buttocks without saying a word. After drinking this kettle, I drank it twice, and one person drank half of the kettle before giving up.
'Hiccupββ! Let go of Chen Hei's buttocks, who were pressed to the ground by the two of them, Chen Sheng burped, and then left with a bulging belly. When he left, he buckled the copper kettle directly on Chen Hei's buttocks - cleaning up the copper kettle has always been Chen Hei's buttocks, and if this thing is lost, it will cost a thousand dollars.

"Jing people are here on the wall, there are paintings on the wall, and you don't even notice that there is a wall when you look at the paintings. Here is a deep trench, the trench is lined with sharp trees, once the soldiers who have an unstable foothold on the city fall, they will be stabbed to death by sharp wood...... "Early this morning, Bai Lin lost 2,000 men, the least of the four city gates, and the most important thing is that his cronies saw the defensive arrangements in the city, and this alone can make him deeply impressed in Meng Wu's heart.
"What do you think?" Meng Wu didn't ask anyone, just asked Wei Yi. The outer city is broken, and he is also the king's envoy.
"Things in the city......" Wei Mi looked unhappy, he had just received another letter. I heard that the Jing people knew that King Jing was trapped and was gathering a large army in Yingdu, perhaps on the ......way at this time."
"What are you afraid of?" Li Xin disdainfully, "The armies of the two countries are nearly 400,000, and Xiang Yan has no soldiers. β
"Exactly, the Jing people are only 400,000 in the whole country......" Xiangbang Ziji took the Wei generals to the meeting, he didn't understand why Wei Yi mentioned the reinforcements of the Chu State, there are 380,000 people in the two countries.
"Definitely. Jing Ren is turning to the King of Qi for help and asking the King of Qi to send troops. There are ...... again" Wei Yu wanted to speak and stopped, there were some things he didn't want to say in front of everyone. "We still need to plan a plan to make Jing people not save Chen Cheng."
