......

Along the way, Li Xiaokuan and the others met many soldiers who were hurrying one after another, and when they returned to Li Luo Village, it was already early the morning of the next day.

"Master!"

"Ke'an!"

As soon as Li Xiaokuan came to the familiar riverbank, he couldn't wait to rush into the small courtyard and shout.

But there was no response.

There are no less things in the small courtyard, they are all neatly placed, but I feel a little less angry.

Li Xiaokuan rushed into Li Guiyuan's room and found that only the futon was folded and placed there.

When I went to Shi Ke'an's room again, the door was unlocked.

The bedding inside was also neatly folded, everything was there, but there was no one.

Li Xiaokuan's heart gradually fell to the bottom.

"How is it, Xiao Li, what about the old man?"

Yang Kui and the others came in at this time, and when they saw Li Xiaokuan, who was silent with his head bowed, they all didn't know how to speak.

"I ......"

"I'll go to the village to look for ......"

Li Xiaokuan pulled his legs and ran towards the village, and at this time he noticed that Li Guiyuan's boat was not leaning against the shore.

Did you go to the river?

But it's early in the morning, and it's not time at all......

Li Xiaokuan ran towards the village with the only hope left.

"Village Chief! Village Chief!"

"Bang ......"

Li Xiaokuan knocked desperately on the door of the village chief's room.

"Ahem, here it is. ”

After some time, a crack opened in the door of the village chief's house.

The white-haired village chief slowly poked his head out, his face haggard, and he didn't seem to have slept well.

"You are?"

Li Xiaokuan then remembered that he hadn't taken off his mask, so he ripped it off under the stunned gaze of the village chief, revealing his true face.

"Little ...... Amnesty?"

"Village chief, have you seen my grandfather? He and Ke'an are not at home. ”

The village chief looked like he wanted to say something, but finally sighed and pushed the door open.

"Come in and talk about it......"

The village chief walked over to the chair and sat down, his face sad.

"Xiao Yu, in the future, you can find another place and live a good life. This Li Luo Village, no, this Chu State, you still don't want to come......"

"What do you mean, village chief?"

Li Xiaokuan looked at the expression of the village chief and had already guessed it.

But reluctant to admit it.

"In fact, over the years, everyone in the village knows where you come from, but no one has said it, because many people are like you, and it is not easy to ......."

"In the past, it was not that the government had not sent someone to check, as long as it was good to eat and drink, and leave after a meal, it was no big deal. ”

"But this time it's different......"

The village chief sighed three times, so he was not sad.

"Yesterday, the group of officers and soldiers came without saying hello, and after they arrived, they did not listen to any persuasion, and they had to call people out from house to house. ”

"They checked the household registration one by one, but those who came from outside had a household registration, and whoever didn't understand it would be detained. ”

"Although some people are from outside, some people's husbands, daughters-in-law, and children are from our village when they are young, and they are willing to let those officers and soldiers arrest people, so they make trouble. ”

"It's useless to make trouble, those officers and soldiers are not reasonable at all, whoever makes trouble will be arrested together, and more than 70 households in my Li Luo Village will directly arrest more than 20 households for him, causing evil. ”

"Do you remember the old lame Li in the village, he was also a poor man, when he was young, his business was good, he often ran to Qin State, and later married a wife there and settled down, seven years ago Qin Guo had an accident and ran back, he was lame, and he became crazy. When he heard that his wife had been killed, he escaped by himself. ”

"And the Li Laoba who carries water, his real name is Li Wangba, he was raised by me since I was a child, but it is estimated that even his heavenly parents can't imagine that he actually secretly went to Qin State to be a soldier, and until they died, they always thought that their son was doing business in Qin State. ”

"The two of them made the most trouble, Li Lao lame began to scold from the time he saw the officers and soldiers, how ugly it sounded, those officers and soldiers were probably tired of listening, and they cut him with a knife. ”

"The eighth child practiced, and hacked the two to death with a knife, but they couldn't help that there were many of them, and their hands and feet were wasted, so they were knocked unconscious and dragged away. ”

"That ......"

Li Xiaokuan spoke with difficulty.

The village chief knew what Li Xiaokuan was going to ask.

"That girl was also taken away, your grandfather ......"

"Oh, your grandfather's stubborn donkey, the old man and the old lady are all good to talk about, kneel down and beg others, your father is good, he is going to beat people with a bamboo pole. ”

"You said that you are an old thing, where can you beat those officers and soldiers, this is good, you were beaten twice, and someone was stabbed into the river......

But it's no wonder that his wife ran away when he was young, so he left him with a child, and after two years, the child was gone. He never remarried in his life, and built a small yard by the river. ”

"Over the years, he has really treated you two as his own children......"

......

......

Li Xiaokuan didn't know how he got out of the village chief's house, and the village chief didn't listen to some words persuading him to leave quickly.

I asked the village chief where the soldiers were going, but the village chief didn't know.

He felt like a dream for the past seven years.

Right now.

I woke up from a dream.

It's time to hurt.

Yang Kui and his entourage waited at the entrance of the village, and they didn't say much when they saw Li Xiaokuan coming out, but after seeing Li Xiaokuan's true face, the four of them got together and whispered something.

"Let's go, Xiao Li, go back first. ”

Li Xiaokuan nodded indiscriminately.

Along the way, his head was groggy, and when he returned to Wangbei City, he fell ill.

In a daze, I felt that I had returned to the land of Qin, and there were still corpses all over the field, and countless undead souls were wandering.

It's just that among those unjust souls, there are some more familiar figures.

These days, he doesn't know where he is, but he keeps seeing people hunkering around him.

Often Su Yi's voice would come from his ears, babbling and talking a lot, but unfortunately he couldn't hear a word clearly.

Sometimes Yang Kui's loud voice would also ring in his ears, but his tone was a little intense, as if he was arguing with someone.

But more often than not, he couldn't hear anything, and the whole world was terrible.

The last time I tasted this feeling, it was after falling into the Qiandao River, and it was Li Guiyuan's bamboo pole that woke me up.

It hurts......

I didn't feel anything, but a voice sounded deep inside me.

It hurts......

It hurts...... It hurts......

The voice grew louder and louder, and at the same time, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of Li Xiaokuan's mind.

Subconsciously, Li Xiaokuan wanted to get closer......

A little closer......

The light gradually magnifies, and the outline of the interior gradually becomes clear.

Li Xiaokuan saw it clearly.

In front of him was a pale face stained with blood.

......

"Ahh

Li Xiaokuan woke up suddenly, gasping for breath.

The girl next to her was startled, and her petite body trembled.

"Ke'an?"

Li Xiaokuan's eyes were hazy with tears, and he reached out to wrap his hand around the girl's waist, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

The girl was suddenly embraced, her body instantly stiffened, and her voice trembled and she spoke.

"Little ...... Xiao Li, can you ...... Can you let go first, you hold it so tightly......"

Li Xiaokuan knew at this time that he was hugging the wrong person, and hurriedly let go.

When I looked up, I saw that it was a girl with a delicate face but immature, and she looked much younger than Shi Ke'an.

The girl's cheeks were crimson at the moment, and her eyes were evasive.

"You, you, you, wake up...... This...... This has porridge that you remember to drink. ”

After saying that, he ran out of the door in a panic.

At this time, Su Yi happened to come in and looked at Li Xiaokuan suspiciously.

"What happened to you?"
