Some of the living people are wandering like soulless ghosts, not knowing what they want to do or where they want to go? Others were kneeling down and crying like lunatics, or cursing at the sky and the earth, but their voices were hoarse.

Some people have already entered Yongping City and wandered around the ruins, trying to find something useful, but they often found nothing. Everything has been scraped clean by Jianlu.

There are also a small number of people who are relatively strong, in groups of three or five, or in groups of four or five. When they see a living person wearing relatively good clothes, they will not hesitate to snatch it away.

"My patience is limited, please take off your pants quickly." One person shouted impatiently to a well-dressed old man.

Beside him, there were several people gathered with wooden sticks from unknown sources, and one of them still had blood stains on his stick.

The old man who was surrounded by them protected his two grandsons behind him and begged and replied: "Wang Laowu, just because we know each other, please let me go! Without pants, I will freeze to death! I I can’t die. If I die, how can my two grandsons survive! Wuwuwu..."

"Grandpa, grandpa, wuwuwu..." Two boys aged seven or eight hugged the old man, shouting and crying together. In just over a day, life suddenly changed drastically. The two children were already at a loss. Now they cried when they saw their only support. They were even more helpless and felt like the sky was falling. They could only rely on them tightly. Looking at the old man.

When the young man heard this, there was no sympathy at all on his face. Instead, there was a hint of pleasure. He just heard him say: "Haha, weren't you so high and mighty before? You didn't even bother to pry us. Now you know how to ask for help? Come on, Lick my shoes."

"Wang Laowu, I have given you something during the holidays! Please be kind and let us go!" The old man continued to plead and defend.

Wang Laowu didn't listen to this, and shouted angrily: "Tian Tian?"

His friends were delighted to see him, and they also cheered and cheered from the side.

A trace of anger clearly flashed across the old man's face, but when he saw his two grandchildren, his heart ached and he immediately made a decision: "Okay, I'll lick them."

Seeing the former aloof Mr. Wang licking the uppers of his shoes, Wang Laowu looked up to the sky and laughed loudly. He suddenly kicked Mr. Wang down and shouted loudly: "Old man! Come on, everyone, take off his pants." The meat is good, I guess I can sell it for a few bucks later. Also, if these two kids look at the tender skin and tender meat, take them to the city!"

"No, don't!" When Mr. Wang heard that his two grandsons were about to be taken to the city, he was so frightened that he shouted, "Aren't you afraid of the court's laws if you do this?"

"Haha, Wang Laowu?" When Wang Laowu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, "Do you think the court will take care of us with so many old and weak people? The people in the court will only wait until we are almost dead before they show up. noodle!"

Mr. Wang actually thought so too, otherwise he would have used Wang's method to blackmail him from the beginning. But now that pleading is useless, I try to grasp at the last straw and try to speak out.

Amid the cries, Mr. Wang's trousers were taken off, and even his clothes were stripped off. Then the people laughed and grabbed the two children and left.

The naked Mr. Wang desperately tried to drag his grandson, but he was kicked over. When he got up, Wang Laowu and others were already gone.

Scenes like this appear from time to time among the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city. Some people are relatively strong in force and ruthless people get into a group and start robbing and even killing people.

Some who have many relatives can still fight together as a group, but those who have been captured or killed by the captives and have few people are unlucky. Either flee far away, or cry and beg. But these are basically useless. How can we escape in the cold winter months? Crying and begging cannot make these people who are taking advantage of the situation have good intentions.

Among the hundreds of thousands of people, in addition to the looters, there are also some people who have obviously just arrived, because among them there are young people who are loudly preaching something to the people surrounding them, and there is someone they like. After putting his palms together and bowing, he stepped forward to tie a belt and distribute some food.

With such a demonstration effect, more people immediately gathered around. Just listen to the person in charge loudly preaching: "...What is the Vacuum Hometown, the Inanimate Mother? The Inanimate Mother is the ancient Buddha in heaven who has no birth and no death. She wants to save the children of the earth and return to the heaven to avoid disasters. This heaven is the home of Vacuum. Now that the world has reached its darkest period, she has sent Maitreya Buddha to the world to save the world. Only by believing in me, Maitreya Buddha, can you escape the darkness and escape the sea of ​​suffering. If you are not pious enough..."

Some knowledgeable people immediately knew that they were members of the White Lotus Sect and were banned by the government. In the second year of Tianqi, Xu Hongru of the White Lotus Sect rebelled and was suppressed by the court.

If they encountered people from the White Lotus Sect in normal times, they would not be able to hide in time, but at this moment, they were suffering from a catastrophe, and they did not believe that the court would care about them, the old and the weak, and the White Lotus Sect had food in their hands, so why should they care about the White Lotus Sect? , have joined the ranks of believers in order to get the protection of the Inanimate Mother and Maitreya Buddha.

The leader, a strong man in his thirties, saw more and more believers joining, and couldn't help but secretly praise his wise decision.

They were originally entrenched on a mountain outside Changli City, thinking of developing followers after Jianlu attacked the city, but they did not expect that Changli actually won the war, and the appearance of Guan Ning's cavalry scared them so much that they moved overnight. They wandered around the Jianlu sphere of influence, continuing to look for opportunities to preach, and now they finally found a good opportunity.

In the original history, this group of White Lotus believers were suppressed by Zuo Ying's Minzhuang Li Shiqi after they retreated during the Battle of Changli.

At this time, outside Yongping City, after the Jianlu retreated, all kinds of monsters and ghosts appeared. If the court left it alone, although countless people would starve to death, it would also cause more problems. When people are desperate, even if they are just old and weak, the consequences are unpredictable.

Every time there is a major disaster, it is a time to test people's hearts. At this moment, I don’t know how many people are desperate. Just like the naked old man, his whole body was purple from the cold, and now he only had one breath left, desperately and stubbornly trying to crawl to the city.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of thunder coming from a distance. After a while, the sound became clearer. It was the sound of horse hooves, many horse hooves.

The unexpectedness caused everyone to stop moving and look to the east where the sound of horse hooves came from.

A big flag fluttered in the wind, and the knight was wearing a red jersey, making these Ming people recognize him at a glance.

There is another update that I wrote when I went home after get off work, probably around 21:30.
