In the evening, the old woman cooked a meal and asked Gu Tianlan to come out to eat. Because there is no market in Rongcheng, Gu Tianlan and Yun Yao have not eaten since they entered the city. Gu Tianlan was so hungry that his chest was close to his back, Yun Yao was so hungry that he was listless, and as soon as the old woman screamed, Gu Tianlan did not refuse.

When Gu Tianlan went out, there were already five people sitting at the table, the old couple, the black-faced man and his daughter-in-law, the two had a five or six-year-old son, and the son followed his father, black and strong, tiger-headed. Seeing Gu Tianlan, the black-faced man and his daughter-in-law didn't have a good face.

There is an extra mouth in the family for no reason, and no one is happy.

Gu Tianlan sat down on the empty chair and wanted to pick up the steamed bun close to him. The black-faced daughter-in-law was faster than her, and she sandwiched two steamed buns into her bowl with one chopstick.

"This harvest is not good, and we have to supply military rations, and there is nothing left of food at home. Husband, you work outside all day, so you need to eat a little more. The daughter-in-law said as she put the bun from her bowl into her husband's bowl, and the other into her son's bowl.

The black-faced man finished the bun in two bites, took his daughter-in-law off the table, and went out to work.

There was only one bowl of pickles left on the table.

The old woman silently made a bowl of porridge for Gu Tianlan, saying that it was porridge, but in fact there were only two grains of rice in it. Gu Tianlan quickly drank a bowl of porridge, it was steaming, and it was very comfortable to drink.

"Sister, you eat steamed buns. The black-faced child held a steamed bun in his hand and handed it to Gu Tianlan.

The child is very strong, with big eyes and a bulging face. Gu Tianlan really wanted to pinch his little face.

Gu Tianlan thought that if her child was still there, it would not be much younger than this child.

Seeing that Gu Tianlan didn't answer, the child touched his bulging belly and said, "I'm full, my sister eats." ”

Gu Tianlan just took it, and touched his head with his other hand: "Thank you." ”

As soon as the child smiled, he showed a mouthful of white teeth, was exceptionally well-behaved, and ran away with a smile.

She only ate half of it, filled a bowl of porridge and half a steamed bun, went into the house, and fed it to Yun Yao to eat. After Yun Yao finished eating, his face looked a little better. He reluctantly moved inside: "Sister Lan, lie here." ”

The bed was small, and Yun Yao was already lying against the bed.

Gu Tianlan shook his head: "You sleep first." ”

Yun Yao's eyes were a little disappointed, but he still closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.

Gu Tianlan sat on the edge of the bed, leaned against the wall, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Gu Tianlan's breathing stabilized, and the young man lying on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the person sitting at the end of the bed, in a daze.

He didn't expect Sister Ah Lan to be alive, and he didn't expect to be able to recognize Sister Ah Lan and be in the same room. He opened his eyes, afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes and opened them again, Sister Lan would disappear.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden noise outside.

Gu Tianlan hurriedly opened his eyes, pushed open the door, and saw that the fire was soaring outside, like daylight, and screams and cries for help were faintly heard in the distance.

Gu Tianlan's expression became solemn, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

A tall figure ran over from a distance, and it was the rough-faced man. His face was full of eagerness, and he quickly woke up the whole family.

"The bandits are coming! robbed the homes of the big families in the city, killed all the people outside the square members, and burned down the Fang Mansion!" the black-faced man said in horror.

Gu Tianlan knew that Fang Yuanwai.

When she guarded Rongcheng back then, Fang Yuanwai was already a wealthy family in Rongcheng.

Fang Yuanwai was a good person and often helped the poor. Back then, his reputation as a good man was spread in all ten miles and eight towns. Gu Tianlan didn't take the soldiers to his mansion as guests.

When Gu Tianlan came to Rongcheng and was homeless, he also wanted to go to Fang Yuan's house to spend the night. But the family members who are three layers outside the house and three layers outside the house, she can't even see the face of the outside of the square member. Now that I think about it, the bandit problem is so serious, Fang Yuanwai is busy dealing with bandits, and he has no time to take care of himself, and he no longer has the energy to do good.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Yuanwai's home became a fire.

That era is also completely over, and there is not even a trace left. In just three years after Gu Tianlan's death, Mochizuki turned out to be like this.

Gu Tianlan looked at the raging fire and sighed in his heart.

"Then close the door quickly, poor people like us can't be looked down upon by bandits. The old woman said hurriedly.

"Mother, this time is different, those bandits are red-eyed, and they will kill people when they see them, let's run away. The black-faced man said.

"Escape, where are we going, this is our home!" the firelight reflected the old couple's faces, both dazed.

Gu Tianlan looked at the fire, listened to the voice from afar, and said, "Escape, the purpose of these bandits is not simple, I'm afraid it's not about money, otherwise they won't burn down the Fang Mansion." "If you burn it, you won't have to rob it anymore. Moreover, she smelled an unusual smell, which was dangerous.

The black-faced man couldn't help but look at Gu Tianlan.

At the beginning, he only felt that she was a girl from an ordinary family, a burden picked up by his mother, but at this time, she looked at her face with a resolute expression, and she was as calm as a woman in this situation, not like an ordinary person.

"Go pack some food and clothing, and leave immediately!" Gu Tianlan said sharply when he saw him in a daze.

The man hurriedly went to clean up.

Gu Tianlan also rushed into the room, and Yun Yao had already dressed and climbed off the bed.

Killing intent was everywhere outside the door, and Yun Yao also knew that he couldn't stay here. But putting on his clothes had exhausted all his strength, and he could not walk normally, let alone run for his life.

"Sister Alan, let's go. Yun Yao said.

Rongcheng is dangerous, and they must escape, but he becomes a burden to Sister Alan. He can't even bother Sister Alan.

Gu Tianlan turned around and went out.

Yun Yao sat there, his eyes half-closed, hiding the bitterness in his eyes.

Sister Ah Lan is gone, he should be happy, why is he uncomfortable?

A moment later, the door suddenly opened, and Gu Tianlan appeared at the door again. Yun Yao looked at her in amazement. Before he had a chance to ask why, he was crossed by Gu Tianlan and walked out.

"Sister Alan, you should ride the horse by yourself, the carriage is much slower than the horse, and the target is too big, it is easy to attract attention......"

"Shut up!" Gu Tianlan interrupted Yun Yao's chatter.

Yun Yao knew her temperament, and listened to her the most, so she had to keep her mouth shut.

In fact, he was still happy in his heart.

Gu Tianlan helped Yun Yao into the carriage, and let the old couple get into the carriage.

Gu Tianlan sat in the position of catching the car.

The black-faced man walked in front of Gu Tianlan: "Girl, let Xiaobao also sit in the carriage." ”

If it weren't for the fact that his skin was dark and the sky was dark, Gu Tianlan could see that his face was actually red.

He always felt that this girl was a half-dead teenager, just two burdens, targeting her everywhere. But at this time, the girl's ability was revealed, and she was in danger, and she had a chariot to escape. He turned to the girl for help, and he felt ashamed.

Gu Tianlan lifted the curtain of the carriage: "Get in the carriage together, you won't be able to leave if it's late." ”

The black-faced man hurriedly got into the carriage with his daughter-in-law who was holding his son.

The carriage flew up.

The black-faced daughter-in-law lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the skyrocketing fire outside, and the people fleeing around her, the expression on her face was full of horror. The child in her arms stuck out half of its head, and its little face was full of trepidation.

Someone in the street chased the unarmed people and stabbed their swords into the hearts of the people, splattering blood all over the ground.

The black-faced daughter-in-law shook her hand, and the curtain fell.

"These bandits are murderers, and they kill anyone they see. The black-faced daughter-in-law said.

"These bandits are not like the previous bandits, they are much bigger. The black-faced man muttered to himself.

"It's the Turks. Yun Yao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

"Turks?!How could the Turks come to Mochizuki?" the black-faced man was shocked.

Yun Yao closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Gu Tianlan drove the carriage and galloped down the street, quickly attracting the attention of those people.

A crossbow shot at the horse's abdomen, causing an instant opening in the horse's body and the horse's head falling to the ground. Gu Tianlan's head slammed into the ground, and before hitting the ground, Gu Tianlan jumped off the horse violently, then took out his sword and quickly cut the rope connecting the carriage and the horse.

Leaning on inertia, the carriage still moved forward. Fortunately, the street was straight, and the carriage did not hit anything, so it slowly stopped.

Gu Tianlan lifted the curtain: "Come out quickly, find a place to hide!"

Gu Tianlan helped Yun Yao out of the carriage, and the two looked for a hidden street corner and hurriedly hid in.

Soon, a group of men rushed up.

These men were uniformly dressed, all armed with swords, well-trained, and clearly not ordinary bandits.

"What about the people in the carriage?"

"Empty!

"Look for it quickly, Lord Hachi said, this city has returned to the Turks, and there is not a single Mochizuki person left!"

As they spoke, the group rummaged around.

The fire shines like day. These men have swords in their hands, and when they see the haystacks, they will take them and stab them.

One of them looked at a pile of baskets: "My lord, there's movement there." ”

The adult looked at the pile of baskets and moved: "Come here." ”

A group of people gathered and walked towards the basket. As soon as the master drew his sword, the bamboo baskets quickly fell down, revealing the figure hidden inside.

The black-faced daughter-in-law snuggled tightly into the arms of the black-faced man, holding the child in her arms. The child's eyes widened, and the woman's mouth was covered.

Without obstacles, they are completely exposed to these people. The couple's bodies trembled unconsciously, their black faces turned white, and their eyes were full of despair.

"How about stabbing them in the back and skewering this family of three into kebabs?"

"Adults are really talented and learned! After the skewers are made, throw them in the fire and roast them...... My lord, my subordinates are hungry!"

Several people laughed.

It's just that their laughter is particularly terrifying, and their faces are also extremely hideous.

With the sword in his hand, the man walked up to the three of them, and when he found an angle, the sword in his hand was about to pierce the black-faced man's back......

The woman's screams rang out at the same time as the child's cries.

At that moment, an arrow burst through the air and entered the man's chest, and the sword in his hand did not pierce out, but fell to the ground.

The adult's head slowly twisted.

In the firelight, a woman stood there, holding a bow and crossbow in her hand, her eyes were murderous and imposing.

It was the last scene he saw before he died.
