forest of golden lions

The little pharmacy looked at him and smiled: "How about it, my prince, tell me now, who is the winner?"

24. Is there a place in my heart that I have never been to ([-])

◎He suddenly felt that the so-called freedom, the so-called love, and the so-called life and death were no match for this mouthful when he was extremely hungry. ◎

Yun Yi threw a slave's arm in front of Ashley: "How about it, are you hungry? You can try this. When you are very hungry, you will find that the taste is not bad."

Ashley pursed her lips tightly, staring at Yun Yi stubbornly, her eyes almost burst into flames, but she didn't speak to Yun Yi.

The slave he rescued saw that the arm had already glowed green. He was too hungry, too hungry. When hungry, group animals will leave the group that makes him feel safe to forage. Hunger is almost an animal. biggest driver of behavior.

Ashley was so hungry that he didn't have any strength left, but he still used his last strength to grab the slave, shook his head, and signaled him with his eyes, no.

The extremely hungry slave suppressed his most primitive desires.

Yun Yi thought it was funny: "Why bother? What are you still doing at this moment?"

Ashley huddled in the corner of the bed, wrapped the quilt tightly around her body, and said sleepily: "It's my fault, your fault, and the fault of this world. I want to feel this clearly together with all the suffering people. everything."

"Then do you want to die together with those slaves who have been eaten?"

Ai Xili glared at Yun Yi: "As long as God gives me a sigh of relief, I won't die easily, and I must fight this mad dog like you to the end!"

"Fight with me?" Yun Yi thought it was funny, "What else can you use to fight with me now? You don't have any power in your hand now,

I was the first to guess everything you can do. The guards of the granary can't let a mosquito in. The new prison is already under construction. You can't take away a prisoner and cause a riot. The people of this city rely on time and time again. Your military achievements are already loyal to me, no one is willing to listen to you, let me think about it, what else can you do to give me a fatal blow?Hmm...how about setting fire to all the slaves?The place where they live is airtight and crowded, and it's easy to get them. However, with your brain, you shouldn't be able to think of such a vicious idea, right? "

Ashley wrapped the quilt tightly and shrank towards the corner, with unspeakable despair on his face, but while backing away, he still said: "I won't give in, I won't give in to you mad dog." He looked Yun Yi's eyes almost burst into flames, "I will never recognize your status, even if you have become everyone's king, even if you put on a layer of glamorous skin, in my eyes, you are still It's that mad dog begging for food in the dirt!"

"Okay, okay, very good," Yun Yi stood up, her eyes were cold, "Then you continue to starve, oh, even with this slave you rescued, let's starve to death together!"

Even though he said so, Ke Yunyi still kept the slave arm he brought.

The dumb slave thought that he had forgotten to take it away, picked up the arm and ran it in front of Ashley like offering a treasure, and signaled to Ashley: They have something to eat.

Ashley shook off that arm, "Don't eat."

This is his last hold.

Don't eat meat of the same kind, don't accept charity from Yun Yi, the culprit.

The mute slave looked at that arm resentfully, the light in his eyes dimmed.He is so hungry, he wants to eat.

In the middle of the night, Ashley saw the slave's mouth moving, as if he was chewing something.

Not knowing where the strength came from, he opened the slave's mouth angrily, and asked him angrily: "What are you eating? You ate that arm, right? How could you—"

The slave's mouth was opened, but what he saw was not flesh and blood, not even anything that could be called food.

It was the earthen jar he usually used to cook medicine. The mute smashed the earthen jar and put the pieces in his mouth to suck.

In the beginning, when they still had herbs at home, they used that to satisfy their hunger. Therefore, in the eyes of the dumb slaves, this thing is like a pot of boiled rice soup. Just put it in your mouth and you can imagine it in your mind. the fragrance of food.

The mute looked at Ashley in confusion, his eyes full of puzzlement.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Ashley suddenly burst into tears uncontrollably. He hugged the mute slave as if hugging the savior who could make him repent, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault." No mistake, I saved you, but I have no ability to let you continue to live..."

Ashley staggered to find the arm that had been stored by the mute, and handed it to the mute: "Eat it. I shouldn't have troubled you, and I'm not qualified to let you insist on pointlessly following me."

The mute took a piece of the arm, and his eyes showed surprise, but then, he took a tentative look at Ashley with some uncertainty, as if asking: Is it really possible?

Ashley nodded at him: "Go ahead and eat."

Only then did the dumb take over the arm excitedly, and went to process the ingredients.

The refreshing smell of meat wafted into Ashley's nose, and the slave brought more than half of the meat to Ashley, gesturing to him to eat first.

The roasted black meat is golden and attractive, making people's eyes glow green, and it is impossible to tell that this was once their same kind of meat.

No matter how advanced a creature is, it can be used as food in the end.

In the mouth of a predator, the intelligence of the prey is of no use.

Ashley suppressed the extreme desire for food in her heart, and shook her head with difficulty: "I won't eat, you can finish it by yourself."

The mute was very puzzled.

Ashley rubbed his head with difficulty: "This is my sin, and I have to bear it soberly."

The mute passed the food in front of him several times, each time, for Ashley, it was a great temptation that he couldn't give up.But he didn't eat it once.

In the end, the mute kept his share.

into the night.

Hungry, very hungry.

Food, he needs a little food, just a little, just to feed this irrepressible beast in his belly, anything, as long as it's something to eat—

A bowl of scorched meat suddenly appeared in front of him.

The mute handed it to him excitedly, signaling him to eat it quickly.

Ashley stared at the meat for a long time, but finally turned her head away: "Didn't you say everything? I don't eat meat of my own kind."

But the dumb man started gesticulating at him again. He pondered for a long time, and he probably understood it: "You mean, this is not the meat from before, but the wild game you bought from someone else?"

The mute nodded heavily.

thump—

It was the painful sound of the mute being pushed to the ground.

Ashley could no longer suppress her inner desire for food, grabbed the bowl from the mute's hand, and started eating.

He was almost dizzy from hunger, his eyes were dizzy from hunger, and he ate the whole bowl of meat in just a few mouthfuls.

He suddenly felt that the so-called freedom, the so-called love, and the so-called life and death were no match for this mouthful when he was extremely hungry.

For any creature, the first thing to live must be to survive.

Only when there is food to eat can people have hope.

He will defeat Yun Yi, and he will give the people in the city the qualifications to live and work in peace.Everything he ever wanted to do has never changed.

After eating and drinking, he hugged the mute and fell asleep.

When he woke up, Yun Yi appeared in his room again.

"How about it, my prince, does the smell of the devil suit your liking?"

Ashley's expression changed immediately, he realized something, threw himself on the side of the bed and began to choke his throat.

Yun Yi smiled, and looked at him coldly: "Why can't you tell if you change the cooking method? Are you not a doctor? Are you really ignorant or are you deceiving yourself? Our high and mighty prince will eventually eat human flesh ?"

Ashley clutched his throat, wanting to spit out what he ate last night, but now it was too long, he couldn't do it.

He looked at Yun Yi with deep resentment hidden in his eyes: "Bastard, bastard! I will kill you, I will definitely kill you!"

Yun Yi looked up and smiled: "Okay, I'll wait, but before that, my prince, you have to live first, right?"

The door was opened, and You Mo took a whole slave's corpse and threw it in front of Ashley. The corpse was already blue and cold, and its eyes had not been closed before it died, full of hatred for this world, staring at Sky.

Yun Yi said: "Stop deceiving yourself and others, eat it. If you want to live, no one is wrong. No one will think that this person is noble just because he doesn't want to live." He grabbed the hair in front of Ashley's forehead and forced Seeing Ashley look up at himself, he said, "Live, live like a bug, so that you can fight me."

Because of vomiting, there were still physiological tears in the corners of Ashley's eyes, and some filth in the corners of his mouth, he stared at Yun Yi: "I won't let you go, I won't let you go! "

25. Is there a place in my heart that I have never been to ([-])

◎If you are unwilling to pay even this little thing, how can we believe in your determination to revenge? ◎

After all, Ashley and the mute survived that winter together.

He no longer wants to mention the details.

After going through this most difficult winter, something in Ashley's heart is quietly changing.

In the spring, everything revived, and the king's capital, which had been silent for a winter, finally lifted its seal and started normal trade.

The whole city seemed to come alive.

But the slaves who died that winter would not come back to life.

Trade resumed, envoys from various countries came and went in an endless stream, Ashley stood in the crowd
