Chapter 54: The Only Survivor
"Sister, I'm cold. ”
In the cold well, through the faint afterglow, I saw two thin figures snuggling together, most of their bodies soaked in the cold water.
Outside the well, the noise never left, accompanied by screams and roars.
"Woo, sister, I miss my mom and dad, will they come to us?" said the five or six-year-old child, who was fragile, scared and helpless.
My sister, who was about ten years old, put her arms around him, her arms were numb, and she knew very well that she must not let go, otherwise the well water would drown the other party.
"Al, don't be afraid, Mom and Dad will come, and my sister will always be with you. ”
"Sister, I want to hear the story, the story of the scarecrow and the fire-breather. ”
"Okay, that sister starts telling the story, Al don't fall asleep. The girl's voice was already choked.
She didn't know what had happened, but she remembered that in the evening, her father hastily threw herself and her brother into the well, and he covered the mouth of the well with a large rock.
"Longyi, you stay here with your brother obediently, remember not to make any noise, and wait for Dad to come to you. ”
"Longy, Al, Mommy loves you, remember Daddy's words. ”
As the commotion outside the well gradually subsided, the time had come to the middle of the night, and the siblings had been soaking in the icy well water for hours, and their condition was precarious.
"Al, don't sleep, Daddy is coming for us. Feeling the body in his arms getting colder and colder, Longy silently wept tears.
"Sister, cough cough, sister, I, see, see Dad, Mom, they came, picked us up, it. ”
"Yes, yes, I saw it too, so Al, you must not fall asleep, if you fall asleep, you will not see anything. Longy choked up, and with the last of his strength, he trembled and pushed Al up in his arms.
"Uh-huh, uh-huh. ”
At this time, Longyi's biggest enemy is her own will, and for the sake of her brother, she must grit her teeth and hold on, and she can't let her will break until her parents come to them.
But it's too hard, time is a sharpening knife, and Longyi is alone, her body temperature is constantly dropping, and her consciousness is hallucinating.
"Al, don't fall asleep. ”
"Don't fall asleep, Dad, Mom and Dad will pick you up, we're here. ”
Longyi leaned her back against the wall of the well, her body unable to move, but her hands still maintained the posture of supporting Al in her arms.
"Al, sister, to tell, new, story, up. ”
"Woo woo woo woo wow aha!"
"Woo, Al, brother. ”
Life has always been fragile, but many times we have to give it a strong appearance, only in this way can the wheel of history turn and continue to write a glorious chapter.
In the house, after Yage had eaten with the swordsmen, Roque said goodbye to Gree, and then quickly rushed to the goblin tavern.
"Roque, don't worry, I'll leave it to me. The Duke swore his promise.
After explaining to the others, Roque and Murdan got into the Black Thorn carriage and headed directly towards the village where the accident had occurred, with Yage and the swordsmen riding horses behind them.
Neither of them said anything along the way, and Roque looked through the car window, his eyes always looking at the desolate scenery outside the car.
The servant who drove the carriage did everything he could to keep the carriage at maximum speed, and it was only after about two hours that the carriage began to slow down.
"My lord, it's here. ”
At this time, Yag's voice came from outside the car.
After Roque got out of the carriage, the desolate village came into view, looking at the ruins, it was estimated that there should be more than thirty families here, and there were still a few wisps of black smoke in the distance, it seemed that those crops had been baptized by fire last night.
As Yager had said, the ground was littered with broken bones, and the gnawing marks on them were very obvious, and until now, the disgusting smell of blood had not completely dissipated.
"My lord, that's what we looked like when we came in the morning, and we didn't find any survivors. Yag stood behind Roque and whispered.
"It's all here, let's go to the village. ”
Inside the village, like locusts passing through, there was nothing left, not all, the remains on the ground and the scattered food and grain were silent recounting of the Goblins' crimes last night.
The village was small, and soon, Roque was finished, and at that moment, a faint voice reached his ears.
"Your Excellency. ”
Seeing that the other party suddenly ran towards a collapsed house, Murdan hurriedly followed.
At this time, everyone followed Roque around a well, and Yage instantly thought of something, and he directly removed the stone covering it.
"This!"
I saw a little girl leaning stiffly against the wall of the well, the water of the well had submerged to her neck, her eyes were blank, her face was a little frighteningly white, and her whole head was constantly shaking.
Boom!
Without saying a word, Murdan went straight down to the well and slowly lifted the little girl up, and Yag hurriedly reached out to catch it, while some of the swordsmen ran into the house to look for something, and some were packing up the wood and preparing to make a fire.
Murdan was about to go up, but he came across something stiff under his feet, and he hurriedly scooped it up, and was shocked to find that it was a dead child, and he understood perfectly.
Whew.
Soon, the swordsman started a fire, and by this time, the little girl was already covered with a blanket, and her whole body was trembling, and a swordsman carefully supported her.
Murdain wrapped the dead child in rags, and everyone's hearts were so heavy that they could imagine what the siblings had been through the previous night.
Toot tut, dot tut.
At this moment, a chaotic and strange cry was coming from a distance, and Roque looked for a voice, only to see that on a hillside, those thin figures were constantly gathering.
Yager looked at Murdan, then picked up his weapon and stood up, as did the swordsmen around him.
There were about two or three hundred goblins gathered together, densely packed, and they were coming towards Roque's side, waving strange weapons in their hands.
"Kill them all. ”
Roque spat out four words softly, and he slowly poured out the boiling water from the tin can.
"Yes, sir. ”
Leaving two swordsmen in charge of protecting Roque, Murdan and Yage lead the others to the murderous goblins, and the battle is on the verge of breaking out.
Powerful goblins are demons to ordinary people, their strength and bloodlust have increased a lot, and if Murdan and Yag are not there, these swordsmen will definitely not be able to bear it.
"These dogs are really hard. Yag couldn't help but curse during the fight.
"Everybody be careful, these guys have really gotten a lot stronger. Murdan slashed off the heads of several goblins with a single sword, he reminded loudly.
On Roque's side, there was no goblin to disturb him for the time being, so he sat down next to the little girl and handed the hot water to the other party.
"Have you recovered from it, let's drink some water. ”
"Whew. ”
The little girl, who was physically and mentally exhausted, wanted to turn her head to look at Roque, but before she could do it, she fell directly unconscious, and her body fell weakly to the other party.
Murdan's battle with the goblins is coming to an end, the ground is a mess, covered with mutilated corpses, and there is not one goblin left alive, and they have begun to flee.
"Dog, I want to go, I asked Lao Tzu if he had the big sword in his hand!" Yage roared angrily and pursued directly towards the fleeing goblin.
