Chapter 16: The Boy
As the sky grew brighter, they realized that there were cobwebs and dust everywhere, and it looked like there were people living there.
The two hurriedly escaped from the house, and found that every house was in ruins, the doors were not closed, and everywhere was in ruins. There was no one on the village road, and both of them were hungry and walking, hoping to find a family.
On the village road, there are dilapidated houses on both sides, the window paper is also tattered, and there are constantly weathered debris blown down by the wind, and the road is littered with rotten, scattered wooden tables and chairs covered with spider silk and dust, and some broken yellow paper money is blown by the wind and flutters everywhere.
Xiao Yu's face changed, "Could it be...... Don't...... The voice said...... It's all true?" "No...... No, there was an old woman sitting on a chair. ”
The two looked into the distance, and saw the back of a silver-haired old lady, who was lying peacefully on a princess chair, still swaying gently.
"Grandma, grandma, how far is it from Fenghua Village?" the two shouted and ran to the old lady, but there was no response.
A gust of wind blew, and the Taishi's chair shook again.
Looking at the old lady's withered face, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and put his hand on the old lady's snort, only to see a centipede crawling out of the old lady's nostrils along Xiao Yu's hand!
"Ahh "Brother...... Huh......" Duoduo hugged Xiao Yu and cried. "Woo woo woo ......" Xiao Yu also cried in fright, as a child, he could no longer bear what he had to endure at home.
"Really...... They really are all ...... It's all given to ...... by that technique. Killed!" Xiao Yu said in horror. At this moment, something suddenly fell from the lap of the old lady's corpse, and the two of them were so frightened that they crawled backwards again and again.
Xiao Yu turned his head tremblingly, there was nothing frightening in his imagination, only to see that it was a pile of letters carefully wrapped in coarse cloth, and it was strange that this letter had not been weathered into slag.
Xiao Yu stretched out his head and saw a letter on the top that read, "Mother, I'm going to Weinan, where the barbarians are invading, I want to kill the enemy bravely, defend the country, and make military achievements!" Xiao Yu was attracted by the content of the letter, opened the letter paper, and read it one by one.
"Mother, the battle situation is not optimistic, I may come back later. "The reinforcements haven't arrived yet, and there is not much food and grass, but don't worry, mother, I will definitely come back alive, and the peach blossom girl is still waiting for me." "Mother, today I saw the emperor's imperial decree, and when I go back, I will say to Chen Tian to startle him and make him laugh at me for not seeing the world." The saint said that after we win the battle, we will all be knighted, and the reinforcements will arrive later. Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely shine on the lintel. "I haven't eaten anything today, the reinforcements haven't arrived yet, is the saint a promise?" "Mother, this is simply purgatory on earth, mother, I want to go home!" The last page is "Mother, I came back alive! I crawled out of the pile of dead people, and I pretended to be dead when they cleaned up the battlefield, because there were too many corpses, and they were tired of inspecting me, and I was able to escape." I came back alive! just because I remember my mother's entrustment, and the peach blossom girl, hehe. ”
"Ahh Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh when he saw the last letter, that young man, struggling in the pile of dead, thinking that he could escape and reunite happily with his family, but he didn't expect it to be ......
Xiao Yu's tears fell, but this was not a tear of fear, this was a tear of sadness, "Shu Xiu! Shu Xiu!" Xiao Yu clenched his fist and hammered the ground, gritting his teeth. Then, he worshipped the old lady's corpse, "Excuse me!" "Sister, let's go." Duoduo's condition was also better, nodded, bowed to the old lady's corpse, and followed Xiao Yu out of the village.
In the village, a gust of wind blew, blowing the letter paper in all directions and dissipating away.
