Zongman: I have really retired!

Refugees refer to people who have lost their homes and livelihoods and have to leave their homes and find a new place to live. They carried simple luggage, containing only some belongings and food, and took their children and wives on a journey of unknown life and death.

Dong Yue knew that they were just illusions simulated by ghost stories, but this illusion was not completely false. It existed in real history. Human beings are animals that are easily infected by the environment, so even if Dong Yue knew that the illusion before him The refugees are strange but still feel pity for them.

Dong Yue, who is qualified in ideology and politics, knows that having compassion for the enemy is the greatest harm to himself and his teammates who fight with him, but empathy and compassion for suffering are also human nature!

The inside and outside were cut off, and there was great hunger in the city. A bucket of rice was worth two taels of gold. People ate each other, and most of them died.

——"Zi Zhi Tong Jian Jin Ji Eleven"

That year there was a drought in the south of the Yangtze River, and people in Quzhou were cannibals.

——"Light Fat" [Tang Dynasty] Bai Juyi

This is famine, whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster. The refugees here no longer care about it. Now they only care about whether they can survive in this desolate land that makes people feel desperate.

The horror of famine is not only that it devours people's lives, but also that it erodes people's dignity and humanity all the time.

In such an era, people had to become each other's enemies in order to survive.

"It's also rare that I remembered a line I learned in the textbook here.

When there is a severe drought, people eat each other.

It only takes eight words to add punctuation marks in history books, but how many lives are behind these eight words. "

Jiang Hongyuan wiped his sweat and turned to Lin Fei and sighed.

"Huh-huh-

I think I was not very young when I sat in class and listened to the teacher say this sentence after eating. At that time, I naively thought why I didn’t go into the mountains to hunt and go down to the river to catch fish when the food was gone. Now I think about it, I feel really ashamed. "

Lin Fei is probably the most popular among everyone present. Because he often forgets things, he has the best self-regulation ability. After all, if you have a bad mentality, you can't really be scolded for getting into trouble every day and still smile.

"It shouldn't be difficult to leave this weird story. What's difficult is how ordinary people made it to the end without food or water. Especially those ordinary people who broke in by mistake. They are not even as good as these refugees fleeing famine. The refugees are still alive after all. There are some belongings.”

Dong Yue and Gao Ziming were locals and were deeply impressed by the famine that killed approximately 300 million people.

"Don't look at those weird things that are silent now, but if the ghost stories are really a reflection of reality, then the night is the most terrifying time for us. Daytime is fine. I just hope that these refugees don't go crazy and start a group attack. .”

Gao Ziming sighed. The chat with Dong Yue along the way made him know a lot of things. For example, the tone of ghost stories is something that people pass on by word of mouth. The reason for its formation is the product of human fear and disgust and other negative emotions accumulated in a certain item or something strange. , and the strange looking refugees all over the place should all be the subordinates of that weird talk.

The rules in the novel are written on the surface. At most, there will be some misleading information, but there is also a lot of correct information. Even if it is wrong information, if the participants are smart enough or there are enough people, they can deduce it to be correct. information.

But in reality, weird stories and rules are unattractive. It's not that they are unattractive, but those rules are too commonplace.

——So commonplace that it is not a product of the same era as them.

Just like Dong Yue asked for directions just now, well, you heard it right, asking for directions. The biggest difference between the weirdness in the ghost story and the weirdness outside is that the attacks are restricted by the rules of the ghost story.

The weirdos outside can pounce on you without saying a word, but the weirdos in Kaidan must abide by the rules of Kaidan before they can attack you.

To describe it, the weird outside is a lunatic who attacks anyone he catches, while the weird in the ghost story is a lunatic who is logical and polite.

Well, at least we can still communicate, right...

At least Dong Yue was big enough to chat with a "female weirdo" who was "slender" enough to be used as a pole, carrying a broken basket on her back and holding a "child" in her arms to get some information.

"Auntie, where are we going?"

When Dong Yue spoke, he spoke in authentic Henan dialect.

The "Female Weird" slowly raised her head stiffly, and her empty eyes became vivid in an instant. She saw the "Female Weird" tremblingly stretched out a hand to grab Dong Yue's hand. Dong Yue moved lightly. He avoided the "female weird" hand and instead put his hand on the "child" in the "female weird" arms.

"Mom, you cover the child too tightly and it's easy to harm the child. Look at how hard you cover the child. His face is all red."

Dong Yue continued to look at the strange thing in front of him with a smile, but the movements of his hands became heavier and heavier. The little "child" seemed to have noticed something was wrong, and started to kick his legs in his mother's arms, but was suppressed by the rules. His resistance was pitiful.

——No matter according to the rules of nature or the rules of strange stories, children are the mother's weakness.

"The child is still young...the wind is strong..."

"Female Weird"'s voice was dry and hoarse, which was particularly harsh in this dead wind and sand.

Dong Yue noticed that the "refugees" around her all turned to look at her. The eyes of these ghost talkers were so greedy that they were salivating, as if they were about to pounce on them and bite them and devour them in the next moment. generally.

"Female Weird's" "family members" slowly approached, and one of them, a tall and seemingly male Weird, blocked one of the most coveted sights.

- Like a husband who protects his wife.

The disgusting and sticky sight around me, as if I was looking at food, disappeared.

"roll……"

"Male Weird" spoke, and compared to "Female Weird", his voice seemed a little more energetic.

"Brother, we're just asking for directions, don't be nervous, there's no harm in it."

Dong Yue continued to smile, but her body was tense to the extreme, like a string being tightened. Although she was very nervous, she still showed the calm and relaxed appearance when facing the final exam.

Dong Yue also relies on the courage of the Yigao people. This "female weirdo" is not of a high level. It should be said that all the "refugees" present are not of a high level of weirdness. The one who is present is only level three. If Dong Yue really takes action, Yue is not cowardly, but Dong Yue can't guarantee that even if he punches the old master to death, the refugees in the famine will rush up together and stage a strange "human cannibalism".

Neither of the two weirdos spoke, but the other two weirdos behind them slowly approached, trying to surround Dong Yue.

"Brother...my girl may not be sensible. She forgot something, so I brought it to her..."

When Dong Yue was about to take action, she found that her cousin, who was so timid that he didn't dare to take a few breaths after entering the ghost story, actually put his hand directly on the tallest one present.

Gao Ziming was sweating, his heart was beating so fast, and his muscles were tense. One hand was tightly pinched on the weird shoulder. His eyes were fixed on the weird movements, and he was ready to deal with weird things at any time. Preparation for an outbreak.

There was a stalemate in the atmosphere for a moment, but Gao Ziming obviously couldn't hold on for too long. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. He quickly moved his body close to the tall and strange figure, and then quickly took out something from his arms and stuffed it into the strange figure. hands.
