Chapter 13: Famine, war and plague

Zhou Ming was five years old.

Famine, a severe famine.

God has only had a little light rain for six months in a row, the land is cracked, the river is dry, the leaves are yellow and withered, and almost all the crops in the field are dead.

The grain is almost grainless.

This year, Zhou Ming did n’t know how to get through. Except for drinking some gruel to see the bottom of the bowl in the morning, most of the remaining time, Zhou Ming was lying on the straw mat with his parents and sister, and his body was motionless. The brain stops thinking and minimizes energy consumption.

This kind of day lasted only three months. Zhou Ming, who was swollen all over the body, found that this would not work, and he would really die if he continued.

There are a lot of fish in the river near the town, and there are a lot of hares on the mountain, because they are rarely caught, and these things will not run around when seen, and they are stupid ...

Zhou Ming walked out of the house.

Uh ...

By the small river in front of the town, the vocals were full.

"Master Lord, this **** treacherous person has stolen your fish, without your permission from the benevolent Lord Lord, shamefully stolen your private property!"

Chunky butler Bunod pointed spittingly at a thin boy kneeling on the ground.

Next to the thin boy, there were two fat basses with their tails moving.

Saw two fat fishes, a crowd of men and women full of vegetables, pale lips could not help moving, and moved forward subconsciously.

However, he saw several tall and strong knights in front of him, pulling out the long sword from the waist, flashing a bright light, and took two steps back in fear.

"Master Lord, what should this untouchable do?" The butler asked with a waist a middle-aged man wearing armor with various patterns.

This middle-aged man in a gorgeous armor is naturally the owner and the highest authority of Grand Collar-Lord Connor.

"According to the territorial decree, how should he be disposed of?" Baron Connor asked.

"According to the punishment for theft under Article 15 of the Territory Act, theft of the lord ’s private property should be cut off with one hand, Lord lord." Butler said.

"Then cut one hand." After the verdict was completed, Baron Conner rode his horse expressionlessly and returned to the castle with a clamor of armor blades.

A knight stepped forward and raised the sword in his hand.

After a scream.

Zhou Ming in the crowd saw the little hand on the ground covered with blood and returned to his house pale.

Lay at home for a few more days, Zhou Ming woke up in a sudden pain.

The three-year-old sister, Alice, is holding her puffy arms like a carrot, and her teeth are biting hard.

"Go away! Stop your mouth, stop my mouth!" Zhou Ming pushed her sister away, clutching her arm that had been gnawed by a large piece of meat, yelling in pain.

At this time, my father and mother also woke up, and when I saw Zhou Ming's arm with yellow water flowing out of his blood, he couldn't help but lick his mouth.

"what!"

Zhou Ming yelled, quickly opened the door, and rushed out of the house.

Hungry, hungry like never before, no longer find something to eat, he will definitely starve to death.

Where did you eat? Where can I find food?

Fish, there are fish in the river, this can't be caught, chopped hands, rabbits, there are many hares on the mountain, this one can't be caught, this is also the property of Lord Lord.

Grass, there is grass on the ground. Although this kind of grass has very hard leaves and very cut mouth, but the root is relatively tender, sweet, contains a small amount of protein and starch, and can be eaten. This is definitely eatable.

Zhou Ming pulled a large bale of grass from Tiange and ran quickly to the tax officer, Dirac, and told him that he would pay taxes.

Dirak, a fat and sleepy tax officer, looked at the bale of grass in Zhou Ming's hand and told him to leave a third, and then took away the rest in Zhou Ming's gratitude The next two thirds.

"This pariah is already hungry and dizzy. How can we eat grass that no cows can eat?" Dirac threw the grass on the table aside disdainfully. He could not look at the grass, but the lord should take it. The tax must not be less!

Even if he took a stone from Lord Lord, he would have to pay taxes.

That night, Zhou Ming felt that his life had been relieved, and his parents and sisters were a little more energetic. The next morning, the family of four went to pull the grass.

It was hard to survive the autumn, the cold winter arrived, and the grass in the fields was gone. At this time, the Zhou Ming family had to kneel at the gate of Lord Lord ’s castle together with the farmers who had not starved to death in the town. Lord Lord showed mercy, and finally received a small bag of black flour. This famine year finally passed.

After the disaster year, the thieves were all over.

The thieves around the territory have been driven away by dozens of knights from the lord lord. Unexpectedly, these thieves have taken away the population, burned houses, killed livestock, and even seriously affected the plan of the spring sowing of the Granland.

"Today, I must kill all the thieves who do wrong in my territory!"

The angry Baron Connor summoned all the knights and servants. UU read the book www.uukanshu.com. He recruited all the farmers who could use the weaponry in the territory. After distributing some crude weapons, he aggressively looked for those who were playing Granger. The thieves who had the idea settled their accounts.

After some fierce encirclement and suppression, Zhou Ming's father Derek did not appear in the triumphant return team.

"Sinail, my husband Derek, did you see him? Why didn't he come back?" Mother Julina asked anxiously by the hand of a neighbor's man.

"Derrick, he accidentally fell into the trap set by the thieves. That looks so pitiful. Three sticks penetrated him." A man who knew his father shook his head and sucked his mouth.

"Derrick! My Derrick!"

The mother sat on the ground crying with tears of heart. This day, for the Zhou Ming family, it was extremely cold and dark.

After the war, the epidemic spread.

After the weather became warmer, there were a few people with colds and coughs in the town of Roses of Grand Collar.

Soon after these people coughed, the number of people suffering from colds also increased, and some people with severe colds, even drinking the holy water sold by the church, could not save their lives.

Baron Conner panicked. In addition to leaving a few tax officials to stay in the town, he and his knights, after locking the city gate, hid in the castle.

Mother Zhu Lina also fell ill, and her condition became more and more serious. Even if Zhou Ming boiled water every day, cleaned the house, cleaned herbs in the mountains, and kept the air in the room, it was useless ...

Father is gone, mother is gone, and many adults and friends in the town are gone ...

In the run-down home, only Zhou Ming, who was less than six years old, and sister Alice in her early threes.
