Chapter 138 Starve to death the timid

The eldest princess, grandmother, and Jin Niang both felt extremely comfortable when they saw such a lively and down-to-earth Chu Lixuan.

I don’t know if it was that time when Jin Niang forced a girl into her son’s yard and was killed by Chu Lixuan in front of the maids and wives in the mansion.

People in the capital always have rumors behind their backs that Chu Lixuan is arrogant and vicious.

There are even more outrageous legends. The Marquis of Zhennan is not the most ferocious, only more ferocious.

Some people even say that he likes to drink human blood and eat people's hearts, which is why he is so murderous and good at fighting...

Where this kind of irresponsible and false remarks came from, it is impossible to find out in the end.

Fortunately, the noble girls in the capital are still vying to marry them into the palace.

That's why Jin Niang didn't go out to fight with anyone, she just sighed in the house.

Now that she is better, she has a daughter-in-law, and her son is normal. Jin Niang would like to see who else says that her son drinks human blood...

It's a pity that they were exiled to a deserted place.

I guess there won’t be many people gossiping anymore!

Soon the smell of fish wafted over, making my mouth water.

Chu Lixuan and his wife had enough food to feed hundreds of people, so it was rare that they didn't have to rush.

Jiang Xinyan cooked another large pot of rice and made a delicious fish feast herself, and everyone had another full meal.

Chu Ye could only watch helplessly, and she did not dare to plead for mercy.

She kept winking at her mother, but Jin Niang pretended not to notice.

This courtyard is well built and does not leak even during heavy rains. Now it houses seventy or eighty people and does not feel crowded.

It's a pity that its owner abandoned it because there was no food to eat.

The owner of this house, along with his whole family, is probably getting wet at the gate of Fucheng!

This group of people who fled famine followed the bandits and captured one town after another, eating up all the food in the town.

They also led the people from the town to attack the county town. Some of them saved a little food and planned to live in the county town and live in an ignoble way.

As we all know, county towns are easy to attack without soldiers, but the situation is different in Fucheng, where there are city defense officers and soldiers.

However, the bandits are very ambitious people, and there are many ambitious people who follow them.

There has been a long drought and after the locust plague, the county's food supply is limited.

So many people crowded in at once, and the food was gone in a few days.

The bandit leader thought that the Fucheng was very big and should have a lot of food. He didn't know that a Fucheng also had a large population.

They closed the city gates, and there were so many people inside who needed to eat. No matter how much food they stored, they would still be left empty-handed.

However, there were many wealthy businessmen and officials in the city, and they still could not starve to death in a year and a half.

However, there are also many poor people in the city, and the probability of starving to death in two to three months is very high.

If a lot of people crowd in from outside, it won't last long.

The most important thing is that the bandits are a mob and cannot be attacked.

Therefore, the heavy downpour drenched everyone at the gate of Fucheng.

Fortunately, they did not starve and were well fed after robbing all the way.

There is an old saying from ancient times, the timid will starve to death and the bold will die of starvation.

Those who were so hungry that their skin became sallow and their faces were thin were all honest villagers.

The rich people in the town and county did not go hungry, and the bandits also did not go hungry.

Those who were willing to spare themselves also robbed, but they had not gone hungry before.

At this time, being soaked in the rain is retribution.

The ghosts and wolves howled, especially the beautiful girls that the bandits had robbed.

How could they stand such weather? Even though they had a carriage, the rain was too heavy.
