The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 158 Who Can Survive Whom

After making up his mind, Jia Lian stopped moving.Heart said: Let's see who can survive who.

Jia Min ate very quickly, and went out after eating.

In a blink of an eye, a stick of incense was burned out.

Because he was going to come here today, last night, Xue Pan went out to drink with a few friends.One is to say goodbye to them, and the other is to celebrate that I have become a soldier.I ate too much wine, didn't eat in the end, went home in a daze, and fell asleep.

Woke up early this morning, it was already dawn.He didn't even eat any food, so he rushed here with the big gang.There was no food in my stomach, and I was so hungry that my chest was sticking to my back.

I thought about coming here on the first day and having a good meal here, but I didn't expect it to be this meal.

I don't want to eat, but I can't stand the hunger.If you want to eat, but Jia Lian and others don't move, it's not delicious.Besides, this meal is really hard to eat.So, I have been tangled in my heart.

Seeing that the incense is burnt out, Xin Dao said that if he doesn’t eat any more, maybe he really won’t be able to eat, so he doesn’t care about that, and wants to eat when he is full and hungry first.

Unexpectedly, Lin Dajiang waited for a few soldiers to come over, and took away all the food on the table without any explanation.

"Hey. I haven't eaten yet?"

Xue Pan shouted, but no one paid any attention to him.

"Let's go, go back."

As Chen Yejun said, he led everyone back to the dormitory.

"Everyone, hurry up and endorse, I'll go back first."

Chen Yejun let out a haha, and went on his own.

"Second Brother Lian, what should I do with this book? Do you memorize it?"

Xue Pan asked Jia Lian.

"You ask me, who do I ask? Hey, does any of you have something to eat? I'm hungry."

"Second Uncle Lian, where is there any food left, but I brought some. Didn't they all be confiscated? The Fourth Min, I didn't expect to be so ruthless. If he said he wouldn't give it to him, he really wouldn't. I think he meant it on purpose." He just wanted to starve us to death. Second Uncle Lian, what should we do at night? If it continues like this, should we eat or not?" Jia Rong also had no idea.

Yes, what to do at night?Will it still be like this?Or ask Chen Yejun?
No, that would be too embarrassing.How could a big man starve to death without eating a single meal?You can't get over this little thing, and you can't let the fourth brother Min be bullied to death in the future?Of course we are uncomfortable, presumably that Min's fourth child is also uncomfortable.He didn't eat today, which also gave him a blow, and he should be scared at this moment.Waiting for us to intercede with him.

Now is a critical moment, and there is no turning back.

"If it's still like this at night, I still won't eat. If you start this way, we won't have a good life in the future. I don't believe it, he Min Lao Si dared to starve us to death."

So everyone made a proper calculation, and if it was still like this at night, they would not eat.As for the endorsement, I won't mention it.

But the historians, the Feng family, the Chen family, and the Wei family began to endorse.

When Shen Shi arrived, Baoyu was released.He didn't come back by himself, but was carried back by two soldiers.Because Baoyu will not leave.

Throw Baoyu on the bed, and the two don't care.

Jia Lian untied the rope from Baoyu's hand and took out the cloth in his mouth so that Baoyu could move.

"You goddamn fourth son, I'm going to kill you."

Baoyu shouted and was about to struggle to get out of bed. Before he could get up, he fell to the ground.Jia Lian, Jia Rong and others hurriedly helped him to bed and told Baoyu to lie down.

"Second brother Lian, I'm hungry, go get me something to eat."

Seeing Baoyu's miserable appearance, he said that he was hungry.Jia Lian felt uncomfortable.However, I had no choice but to tell Baoyu about the lack of food.

After hearing this, Baoyu had no choice but to sigh and lie down.

"Second brother Lian, is this still our family's barracks? Why do I feel that this is a prison in the sky. That cage is really uncomfortable, it's too much to suffer. Only now I really know what it means that life is better than death."

"Wait for me to rest for a night, and I will return home early tomorrow morning. I will sue him severely in front of my ancestor. Li Gui, Mingyan, you two slaves, it is in vain for me to treat you well. Now I When something is difficult, you actually stand by and watch how I deal with you."

"Second Master, it's not that we don't want to take care of it, it's that they don't let it go."

"What are you doing standing there, get me something to eat, I'm starving to death."

Li Gui and the two dared not neglect, so they walked outside.

"What do you want? Go back!"

At some point, two strong soldiers were already guarding the door. Seeing that Li Gui and Li Gui were about to go out, they kicked them back involuntarily.

"Second Master, you can't get out."

"If you dare to call me Lord, I'll put you in cages."

The soldier shouted loudly again.

"This god damn fourth son, this god damn fourth son..."

Baoyu muttered and slowly fell asleep.

In the afternoon, no one came to pay attention to them, and they were not allowed to move around except to go to the toilet.Jia Lian and others had no choice but to stay in the room, or sigh, or lie on the bed and sleep.

At Maoshi, Chen Yejun came and asked everyone to eat.Baoyu was still asleep, and Chen Yejun woke him up, but Baoyu didn't get up.Ask Li Gui and Mingyan to bring him the rice.

Seeing that it was useless to say it, Chen Yejun could only shake his head and leave.

"Brother Qiang, do you want to eat tonight? Whether you are on our side or on the side of Mr. Min, you have to think about it."

Jia Rong started threatening Jia Qiang.At noon today, only Jiao Li and Jia Qiang had dinner in their group.Although Jiao Li belonged to them, he was no longer from the Jia family, but also Jia Min's confidant, so people didn't blame him.In addition, Joli didn't live with them, so even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't get angry.

Jia Qiang, on the other hand, was complained by Jia's family all afternoon, calling him a traitor.

"Whoever is hungry knows for himself. I eat as soon as I should. I advise you not to compete. The officer will not listen to you."

After Jia Qiang finished speaking, she left first.Jia Rong stared in anger.

When we arrived at the dining hall, it was still the same as noon, with one meal and one dish.The rice is leftovers from noon, and the dishes are leftovers from noon.

It's just that Jia Min is gone, and I don't know what to do.

Looking at the food, Jia Lian was a little tempted.But when he saw that others were looking at him, his heart became ruthless again.He only said that he led the matter of not eating, if he softened at this time, he would never have the face to see anyone again.So just sit still.

The others were also conflicted, but seeing Jia Lian like this, they had no choice but to stay still.On the other hand, Li Gui, Mingyan and the rest of the family ate quite happily.

At this moment, Wei Ruolan also came in.Still holding a copy of "Infantry Exercise Code" in his hand, he sat down without hesitation, and started eating by himself, reading while eating.

"Brother Wei, you eat this too?"

Jia Lian couldn't believe it.

"If I don't eat this, which one will I eat? Didn't you see that Brother Chen also eats this? Brother Feng will also eat this when he comes back in a few days. Brother Lian, oh no, Jia Lian, I advise you to be obedient and obedient." Go ahead, hang on, only you will suffer."

Seeing that Jia Lian was silent, Wei Ruolan stopped trying to persuade her, and just ate by herself.

Qin Zhong was also very angry at first, and wanted to stick with the Jia family.However, thinking of his sister's entrustment to him to listen to Jia Min before leaving, my heart has long been shaken.In addition, I was already hungry at this time, and I thought that if I didn't eat this meal, this night would be difficult.

So, no matter how others saw it, I started to eat it.Xue Pan wanted to stop him, but seeing Chen Yejun present, he held back for fear of causing trouble.

"We're all holding on, so we don't want to eat it. What if the fourth brother Min dares to starve us to death? When the time comes, he will beg us to eat ten dishes and eight bowls."

Jia Rong bewitched.

The rest of the Jia family were a bit shaken at first, but seeing what Jia Rong said, they also felt that it made sense.Seeing that Jia Lian didn't move, he became ruthless and stopped eating.

"Jia Rong, for the sake of the past, I will warn you for the last time. If you refuse to eat, and dare to deceive and coerce others, I will punish you for the crime of deceiving the people and shaking the morale of the army."

Chen Yejun said coldly, Jia Rong's heart trembled when he heard it.Xindao: What the hell, why did the old friends turn their faces and be ruthless once we got here.

As usual, after a stick of incense was burned, the soldiers came to pack up and go back.Seeing that everything was taken away, Jia Lian regretted it a little.But this is the end of the matter, and there is nothing to say.

Li Gui and Mingyan remembered that Baoyu asked them to bring food, so they went to the kitchen and told the whole story, but the cook was not happy.

"Second Master Bao and Third Master Bao, I have a Mr. Min in my eyes, but there is no master here. I even asked someone to bring him food, and tell you, let me go as far as I want. Master, you should go home, there are soldiers here, there has never been any master."

The two had no fun arguing, so they had to come back and tell Jia Lian.Jia Lian had no choice but to say: "Let's go back first."

So everyone went back disgruntled.When I walked back, I saw that blacksmith Liu Tieshan was leading a man, and he was installing an iron cage there again.

This goddamn fourth brother Min, it's not enough to have an iron cage, it's okay, how many people do you want to imprison?
Back in the dormitory, all the people consciously divided into three groups.

People from the Chen family, Feng family, Wei family and Shi family got together.After discussing for a while, they began to take out the "Infantry Exercise Code" and began to recite it, and some even started gesticulating on the ground, and began to practice.

Jia Qiang, Qin Zhong, Li Gui and Ming Yan, who had dinner, got together and talked for a while, and Jia Qiang and Qin Zhong also started to endorse.Li Gui and Mingyan couldn't read, so they just sat there blankly.

Just now they asked Chen Yejun what to do if they were illiterate and could not memorize. Chen Yejun said that he would ask the chief when the time came.

The rest of the group were Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Rong, Xue Pan, Jia Huan, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Zhi and Jia Ping from Jia's mansion who hadn't eaten.

"Second Brother Lian, I'm so hungry that I can't stand it, you go and buy me something to eat, it doesn't matter how much you want."

Baoyu begged Jia Lian again.

Jia Lian is also hungry and upset.However, when he saw Baoyu like that, he thought that he was still an elder brother. When Baoyu had suffered such hardships since he was a child, his heart softened.

I happened to see Wu Hongmei, who was feeding the pigs, passing by the window, so I hurried over and stopped her.
