The sky outside was completely dark, the whistling wind made people flustered, and what was even more unbearable was the hunger in their stomachs, as if there were countless ants scurrying under the flesh, eating away all their sanity bit by bit. Desires remain.

Seeing the murderous boy wrapped in bear skin and not moving for a long time, he seemed to be asleep. In the quiet cave, heavy breathing sounded one after another, followed by the sound of swallowing saliva, and then a burst of whispering.Hungry, greedy, wolf-like ferocious eyes frequently looked at the positions of the three of them.

Xiao Ze and the Third Prince put their hands on the weapons at their waists, looking alert.

Suddenly, a black shadow sprang out from the crowd, stopped and walked, tiptoeed, and gradually approached.

The third prince and Xiao Ze drew their weapons together and stood up.

The man immediately stopped, looked nervously at the young man, he was relieved to see that he still didn't move, he actually ignored the Third Prince and Xiao Ze, slid over quickly with his back bent, dragged the headless corpse on the ground towards the cave go outside.

It was to collect the corpse.The third prince and Xiao Ze exchanged glances, and sat back to their original positions.

After a while, another person rushed out, picked up the head on the ground and went out as well.After a while, ten or twenty people left the cave, and the rest stared at the entrance of the cave with empty and strange eyes.

If you go out so late, how can you meet a pack of wolves?Just as Xiao Ze was worried, those 20 people came back again, all holding something secretively in their arms.

The third prince glanced casually, only to feel a thunderbolt struck down from Tianling Gai, and his whole body became stiff immediately.What they were holding was human flesh!The shape of the palms and soles is absolutely unmistakable!

Xiao Ze obviously saw it too, the expression on his face was first stunned, then inexplicably horrified, and finally numb.These people didn't come to collect the corpses, they dragged them out to share the food!I didn't expect such a tragic thing to happen in the world!

The victims who got the meat couldn't wait to rush to the fire, skewered it with wooden sticks and set it ablaze on the fire, and stuffed it into their mouths eagerly before it was cooked.The cave was not easy to ventilate, and the smell of blood and meat lingered for a long time, which aroused those who still had some sense to become manic.

Their eyes are shining, their teeth are slightly open, and their Adam's apples are moving up and down, as if they are roaring silently.

The Third Prince and Xiao Ze stood back to back, protecting Jia Huan, staring at the group of humans who were transforming into beasts, feeling their hearts being cut by countless sharp knives, and the pain was unbearable.

Suddenly, a black shadow stood up slowly, walked towards the man who was lying in the corner and was beaten to death by Jia Huan, pulled his feet, and moved out of the cave inch by inch.

Seeing that he was very hungry and had no strength, a pair of young men walked over quietly and helped him raise his hands and feet.The three of them quickly disappeared in the swirling snow.

A cold dead silence spread in the air, followed by rustling noises. The people who had been watching coldly couldn't hold back anymore, and hurriedly chased them out.As for what to do, it goes without saying.

They came back soon, covered in blood, and some were even injured, presumably because there were too many monks and too little meat to fight.Only those who were strong got a piece of the pie, and those who were weak returned without success, and their pale faces showed that they would not live for a few days.

Three to 400 people, sharing such a small amount of meat is far from enough. Those who haven’t eaten want to eat, and those who have eaten want to eat even more. They bared their teeth and peeked around, and there was only animal desire in their violently constricted pupils. How could there be any humanity?

The Third Prince and Xiao Ze were obviously unfamiliar faces, and they both had injuries. They looked like they had trouble walking, and soon became fat in the eyes of these people.A series of cruel, extremely greedy eyes gathered over.

The dripping water outside turned to ice, but the Third Prince and Xiao Ze were sweating profusely, wishing they could escape from this grotesque and dark cave right away.

Jia Huan, who had been silent for a long time, finally opened his eyes slowly, looked back at the refugees, drew out the hatchet from his waist, and flicked it with his fingertips.

The crisp sound of ding echoed in the cave, and the victims trembled all over, and hurriedly looked away, huddled together next to each other.

Xiao Ze's legs went limp and he almost lay down on the ground, he hurriedly propped up his body with the dagger.Even in the face of thousands of troops, he has never been so embarrassed, because he knows that the enemy army can only kill, not cannibal.Death in their hands is nothing but a nod.To die at the hands of this group of mobs, I am afraid that even the bones will be chewed and swallowed.

This way of dying is really too terrifying!

The third prince walked up to Jia Huan and sat down with a gloomy expression.

Jia Huan squinted his eyes and sniffed the air, and said word by word, "Do you smell the bloody smell floating in the cave? Do you feel sick and want to vomit?"

The third prince nodded.

Jia Huan pursed her lips and smiled wickedly, "But this group of people won't feel sick, they will only feel hungrier. Eating is the strongest, most primitive, and most irresistible instinct in life! You haven't experienced it. I have experienced real hunger, so I can’t experience the maddening feeling. When you cut open the abdomen of a starving person, you will find that all his organs have melted and shrunk into a ball. Do you know why? Because he is so hungry , in the absence of food, his stomach followed the instructions of the brain and ate itself."

The muscles on the third prince's face twitched slightly.

Xiao Ze couldn't help shivering.

Jia Huan sneered, threw two pieces of firewood into the fire, and continued, "Yes, people are such cruel animals. When they are so hungry, they not only eat people, but also eat themselves!" Such a tragic thing, in the last days It is normal.

The fire was raging, and he turned his head to stare at the open wound on the Third Prince's abdomen and Xiao Ze's broken leg that had lost its splint, and said in a sneer, "One of you is disabled, the other is lacking, and I was only born in my early tenth year. They are thin and weak, and they will never back down if they don’t kill one or two of them with a knife in their hands. If you just teach them a lesson and see some blood, think about the consequences?”

The third prince's face was covered with a layer of frost.

Xiao Ze wished he could bury his head in his crotch.

Jia Huan sneered, "It seems that you have finally figured it out. If I only hurt them, it will arouse their madness in their hearts, and they will attack them in groups and tear us to pieces. Naturally, I have a way in my heart, then It is to live no matter what! This is also their way! And the way that the prince discussed with me before is not the way, it should be called 'morality', which is something that will be considered after eating and clothing."

After saying that, Jia Huan took out a jug of wine from the package and sipped it slowly with an indescribably leisurely posture.

The third prince pondered for a long time, and after exhaling a turbid breath, he fixedly looked at him with a solemn expression, "You are right, the way of survival is the highest way. It was only at this moment that I understood the true meaning of 'people-oriented'." Meaning. The responsibility of the royal family is not to enclose thousands of miles, dominate the universe, and show great ambitions, but to let their people have clothes to cover themselves, food to fill their stomachs, and houses to live in. Imperial power is not granted by heaven, but by the people Endowed. They are not ants in the eyes of our royal family, on the contrary, they are the cornerstone of Daqing and the backbone of the empire. Complying with them can make our Daqing prosperous, otherwise it will make our Daqing perish. We should be in awe of them."

After the words fell, he slowly scanned the cave, and his desire for power became clearer and more intense.If he climbs to the top, the people of Daqing will no longer suffer from hunger and cold, and will no longer be transformed into beasts from the moral decline.

Jia Huan glanced at him and smiled, "If you are an emperor, you must be a good emperor."

The third prince put his index finger between his lips, and said softly, "Shh, you must never say that again." To be able to walk with the young man, this time of trouble is a blessing rather than a disaster.

Not only did his attitude remain the same, but he became more intimate, Jia Huan raised his eyebrows, and finally let go of his grudges, went out to dig the snow, came back to boil, cleaned the wounds of the two, and melted a green pill to apply.

While resetting Xiao Ze's bone and replacing the splint, the five-year-old man's cheeks flushed with shame, and he said in a muffled voice after a long while, "Master Huan, I don't have much knowledge, I hope you don't care about me. I have to help you all the way. The inscription will never be forgotten within five years, and in the future, if you have anything to do, you can go to Xiao Guogong's mansion to ask for help, and I will never say anything."

Jia Huan raised his eyebrows and sneered, "I can't see that you are rough-skinned and thick-skinned, yet you come from a famous family. It's nothing, your brain is not bright, what's the point of fussing with you!"

The third prince couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xiao Ze scratched the back of his head and laughed too.Third Master Huan's attitude as before made him relax a lot.Of course, the previous contempt has been replaced by awe without knowing it.Such a disposition, such a view, such a means, at such a young age, can they still be obtained when they grow up? !Such a genius must win over for the prince!

The three of them took turns keeping vigil for one night, and they planned to set off the next day. They didn't expect the strong wind outside and the heavy snowstorm to make it difficult for them to walk.

"What should we do?" Xiao Ze naturally looked for Third Master Huan to make up his mind.

"Let's hide in the cave for a few days first, and leave after the blizzard." Jia Huan waved his hands and retreated into the cave, with a leisurely tone, "Blizzard may not be a bad thing, at least by the time we set off, most of your injuries should be healed. The snow will also become very thick and hard, and the journey will no longer need to be deep and shallow, and you can reach Deyunzhou as soon as possible.”

The third prince couldn't help laughing.He found that Jia Huan could always find a chance of survival in the worst environment, as if nothing in the world could make him difficult.

Some of the disaster victims in the cave rushed on their way through the snow, but most of them chose to stay.

Jia Huan took a few pieces of bacon out to roast in a very ostentatious way, and his mouth was oily from eating. He wiped it with his sleeve, carried the package on his back and went out, "To chop firewood, maybe I will stay for ten and a half months, and I can't do without firewood. "

The third prince wiped his hands slowly with a summer dress donated by Lai Da, and threw it into the fire when he was done. With an ax pinned to his waist, he pulled the sled along with him.

Xiao Ze followed closely with his cane.He didn't dare to stay in the cave alone, without Mr. Huan's threat, these people might have swallowed him alive.

The third prince split a few times at the root of an old dead tree, and Jia Huan broke when he kicked it over.The two worked together to cut off the branch and break it into small pieces, throwing it into the sled.

Suddenly a little boy of seven or eight years old ran over, his face was so dark that he couldn't see his facial features clearly, he didn't say a word when he approached, he just went to pick up their branches, picked up a bundle, nodded at Jia Huan, and walked away calmly , Fang ran away when he was far away.

"I thought he didn't know how to be afraid." Jia Huan laughed, and said with a thumbs up, "He has courage and personality, I like it."

The third prince also laughed, and his mood was particularly bright.

Skip this episode, the third prince continued chopping firewood, Xiao Ze helped to tidy it up and tied it into a bunch with vines, and when it was done, Jia Huan carried the bare tree trunk back into the cave, saving a lot of effort in the future.
