Chapter 890: Covering the Sun and Covering the Sky
When dawn broke, the people who had been guarding the city gate since midnight stood up in twos and threes, yawning and driving their tired bodies, and lined up in front of the city gate one after another. This is Zang Yuan, which is less than six cities away from Jiuyuan, and since five days ago, this place has fallen under the power of the Wu father and son. The Jin soldiers stationed here were besieged by the surprise rebels for two days and one night, and finally lost their positions because they had no backup.
The first thing Wu Feiyun did when he became the master of Zang Yuan was to gather the people of the whole city, drive them to the usual gathering place, and kill the captured Jin soldiers one by one in front of everyone. There were still young people who had just enlisted in the army, and even more, many of them were local people, and when they were pushed to the guillotine, the people in the audience immediately cried.
What a cruel and unbearable scene it was, when they watched their relatives being killed one after another, those people who had no ability to fight back were paralyzed to the ground, they wanted to save the lives of their relatives, but in the face of such a strong opposition army, the only thing they could do was to cry hoarsely and bear helplessly!
How can others understand the pain of relatives!
Those who fell under the knife were husbands who supported a family, young men who carried the expectations of their elders, and they were once full of spirit, fantasizing that one day they would be able to gallop across the field, make achievements, and bring glory to those relatives who were silently waiting for them, and among those who looked at their heads were gray-haired old men, ladies who were in love with each other, and children who were waiting to be fed; for them, it was not only their pillars that fell, but also the only sky they could look up to.
What a bright place that had given them hope, and now their skies ......
It's dark......
"Stand in line! Fuck, squeeze Lao Tzu to get out of here. "The rough soldiers pushed the shivering people around, although the wall fell, but the livelihood of the people still had to be maintained, the city gate that used to be free to come and go was now tightly closed, only in the morning, the rebels would open the city gate to let the passing merchants and nearby people enter and leave the city, because the search was very strict, so many people did not have time to go to the city gate, and they would lose this hard-won opportunity, so that there would be this situation of guarding the gate from the middle of the night.
"Official, my son is very sick, the doctors in the city can't see it well, there is a famous doctor in this nearby village, I want to take my son to try my luck, please let us go out of the city first, please, please-" A woman in the crowd was pleading with her son, who was a few years old, and begged the rebels guarding the door. Because there were still many people in front of her, those rebels were deliberately embarrassing everyone in front of them in order to rub a little more oil and water, which also made the marching team as slow as a snail, and the woman saw that it was not early, for fear that the gate of her city would be closed when she arrived, so she pulled a patrol rebel and knelt on the ground and refused to let go.
"Let go! Lao Tzu, I am not an official, when the world of the Great Jin Dynasty changes hands, Lao Tzu can still get a half-official and a majestic position. The man impatiently shook off the woman's hand, scolded and pushed her to the ground, the woman fell on her back, pressed the child behind her, and immediately loosened the wrap on her body in a panic, crying and holding the child to her chest.
"Yo, what is this!" After the woman fell, she fell out of her purse from the cuffs, and the anti-army saw that it was still a little weighty, and immediately became overjoyed, grabbed the purse into her hand and threw it upward, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect there to be something, okay, I saw that you were so pitiful, so I asked you to cut into the queue and go forward." ”
The woman did not show joy at his relieved face, but closed her eyes and wept bitterly. The man took the only silver taels she had, which was the money for her son's medical treatment, and if she had no money after leaving the city, even if she found a doctor, what was the use. She cried and got up to get her money back, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she was frightened by the man's fierce glare.
"Lao Tzu asked you to go over, you are going to come and chirp crookedly, and if you talk again, the money is gone, and you can't get out of the door!"
"Sister-in-law, get out quickly. ”
"yes, maybe the doctor will take a look at it for you......"
Others sympathized with her experience, but knew that she couldn't resist those rebels at all, so she dodged away to let her go, the woman looked back heartbrokenly, thinking about going back and begging for money, but the long dragon behind her was mighty, and when she went back and forth, it might be dark, the child's condition could not be delayed, so she couldn't go on with any more pain, and reached out to tighten the child in her arms, and the woman moved step by step with tears, choking forward. When she walked to the front of the funeral procession, a person standing by the coffin suddenly took out a twisted cake from his arms and stuffed it into her hand, saying, "Take it, don't starve the child." The woman looked at the crumpled bread and suddenly burst into tears. Xu is rebels were also touched, after the woman took the cake, they didn't embarrass her anymore, they just dodged aside and pretended not to see, the woman walked and walked, and after going out, she looked up at the blue sky and white sun, desperate and difficult to continue.
"God, what kind of world is this...... We, the people...... How can you live!" The cry of sorrow was painful, and the woman stumbled away from the city gates, but lost her mind on the way to the village.
If you don't have money, how can you find a doctor, this world is like this, no one has a reason to pay for others for free, what should I do?
Tears moistened the face of the child in his arms, Xu felt the pain and helplessness of the mother, the child opened his eyes and stretched out his hands to the woman's face, the woman looked down at him, sobbed and gently rubbed her forehead between his hair, and then put the bread given by the man to the child's face.
"Pang Er, mother, there is something to eat, you eat. ”
The wrinkled cake was slowly stretched in her hand, but the middle end was uneven and extremely hard, and the woman felt the strangeness, and was surprised in her heart, and sat on the side of the road to hold the child, and then carefully spread it.
But in the middle of the bread was a silver ingot of white flowers, greasy and fragrant with green onions.
"Benefactor—" Looking at the shiny silver, the woman shouted, knocked her head twice in the direction she came, and then hugged the child and cried bitterly.
If the person gave the silver directly to himself, he must have been robbed again before he left the city gate, and now this heavy kindness, he doesn't even know who to repay, there is still human affection in this world, this gratitude, he will definitely repay it a thousand times in the future!
"Stop! Who is in this coffin? How did you die? Look at you like this, you don't look like a local, open the coffin, and you want to search the coffin!"
The phoenix's eyes raised slightly, and the man who had secretly helped the woman slapped his hand on the coffin twice, and said with a chill: "Brothers, these masters said that they want to see how our master died, so we will do their wish, land on the ground, and open the coffin!"
