Chapter Twenty-Seven: Ruins
Although Bai Lishan's demeanor and tone when he spoke were a bit coldblackbloodb・i.t.c.h, that hanging look, in Mu Yubai's opinion, was really ......
Handsome! Die! Finish!
Oh my God, it's only been a few days, she has been handsome by this man, what will she do in the days after that! In case she really empathizes and throws herself into the arms of this bearded man, wouldn't she be too sorry for the male god?
No, no, no...... She doesn't like men with beards, they look sloppy, especially this man still has a thick beard, she doesn't like it anymore, what she likes is a clean and sunny boy!
Just when Mu Yubai was entangled in his heart, the two men were ready to start again.
"Sister Mu?" Qi Yuan tentatively called out to Mu Yubai, who was sitting on horseback in a daze: "Sister Mu, have you thought of anything?" ”
"Huh?" Mu Yubai was stunned for a second, then reacted immediately, and immediately played a round for himself: "I didn't think about anything, let's continue to hurry." ”
It took a lot of time to climb the mountain in front of them, and when the three of them finally climbed to the top of the mountain and could look down, the atmosphere was slightly lightened because the doubts were solved, and the climb was even more solemn.
In Baiyuegou, the quiet and peaceful small village that should have been surrounded by cooking smoke was in a mess and lifeless at this time.
"Drive!" Qi Yuan didn't say anything, shook the horsewhip, and ran directly into the ditch.
You must not be fine...... Qi Yuan kept wiping away the tears that overflowed his eyes with his sleeves, God, please don't let them have anything to do!
"Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan, you wait for us." Mu Yubai and Bai Lishan quickly followed, oh my God...... She had only seen the scene in the earthquake-stricken area, where the houses were falling down and the whole village was in ruins, and there was not a single living person in the village as far as the eye could see.
Descending the mountain was much easier than going up, and Qi Yuan spared no effort to urge the horses harder, and in a few moments, they arrived in the valley.
Because of the collapsed houses, the road in the village was not suitable for horses to move forward, so Qi Yuan jumped off the horse and rushed in.
What about people...... Why is there no one in the village, where has everyone gone? "Dad, mother, Xiaofeng, little sister!" Qi Yuan shouted, but in the empty, lifeless village, no one answered at all.
"Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan!" Mu Yubai shouted as he ran behind Qi Yuan, this boy is really fast, and his endurance is good, take him back to modern times, and every second will be the next Olympic champion.
Although he hasn't exercised for a long time, Mu Yubai's bottom is still there, and although he is a little panting, he can barely keep up with Qi Yuan. Bai Lishan did not go directly to chase Qi Yuan like Mu Yubai, he rode a horse and stood at the entrance of the village, walking around, as if he was observing something again.
"Daddy, Daddy!" Although the houses have collapsed, Qi Yuan still remembers where his home is, and ran to the door of his house in one breath, looking at the place that brought him warm memories for nineteen years, at this time it was already a mess, and his face was completely untouched, Qi Yuan knelt on the ground and cried: "Mother, father, son is not filial, little sister, Xiaofeng, brother is sorry for you, brother is late......"
"Qi Yuan...... Qi Yuan ...... "Looking at the scene in front of him, listening to the boy's grief-stricken cry, Mu Yubai also had a sour nose.
"It's all my fault...... I should take you all away......" Qi Yuan couldn't hear any sound at all, he indulged in his sadness, his clenched fists knocked on the ground one by one, and soon blood was seen on his hands.
"Qi Yuan, don't be like this!" Mu Yubai rushed up and wanted to hold Qi Yuan, but her strength couldn't match the other party at all, so in the end, she could only hold the boy's arm and rely on her weight to suppress it before he stopped.
"If you live to see people, you have to see corpses when you die, since you haven't seen the corpses of your family members now, it means that they may still be alive and have a glimmer of life, right?" Mu Yubai tried hard to calm down the crazy boy: "You said, your father escaped back then, maybe he can escape again this time, what you have to do now is to think about where they can hide." ”
Crying and remorse did not solve the problem, and now he had to think about determining the life and death of his family first.
"Right...... Right...... They must be fine, they must be hiding" Qi Yuan struggled to get up from the ground: "Sister Mu, they must be fine, right." ”
"That's right! Now think about it, where might they be hiding? ”
"Where are you hiding?" Qi Yuan, whose face was full of tears, desperately recalled: "On the mountain, my father said that when they met Rong Di to attack, they would run to the mountain!" ”
"Then let's go quickly...... Mu Yubai nodded, dragging Qi Yuan and wanting to leave, but heard a faint figure: "Qi Yuan, did you hear any sound?" ”
"Voice?" Qi Yuan's eyes widened and he looked around: "What sound?" ”
"Shh......h Don't make a sound. Mu Yubai made a gesture to signal Qi Yuan to silence her voice, and tried to listen, I don't know if it was her hallucination, she just heard a child's voice calling her brother.
"Brother......" The faint, immature voice sounded again, and Mu Yubai listened to it solidly.
"Where the voice came from!" Mu Yubai pointed to the corner of the courtyard that had become a ruin, where there was a well covered with heavy stone slabs.
Qi Yuan staggered over, vigorously opened the stone slab covering the well, and looked into the well with Mu Yubai, where a thin little boy was hidden, the only thing intact in this courtyard.
The boy, who felt the light above his head and his pale face, raised his head with great difficulty, blinked his big eyes that were not shining, his lips moved slightly, and he made a weak voice: "Brother......"
Instantly, the boy fainted and died.
Bai Lishan was the two people who were found with an exclamation, Qi Yuan was holding a boy with his eyes closed and his face pale in his arms, Mu Yubai stood aside, looking at Qi Yuan and the boy at a loss.
"Did you find it? It's not safe here, we have to get out of here. ”
"I found his younger brother, but the rest of the family still ......" Mu Yubai couldn't bear to continue, she could fully imagine that in the time of the war, Qi Yuan's father hid him in the well in order to protect his youngest son, and then covered him with a stone slab to avoid being discovered by Rong Di.
Judging from the child's state, he has been at the bottom of the well for at least a few more days.
hasn't come to find his child for so long, which can only show that Qi Yuan's parents have ...... Isn't it more auspicious......
Bai Lishan understood the meaning of Mu Yu's vernacular, he sighed faintly, and continued: "There are several overlapping horseshoe prints around here, from old to new, indicating that Rong Di will come back regularly to check, and we had better leave now." ”
"That's right, Qi Yuan, I think this child is dying, why don't we go back first and show the child to the military doctor." Mu Yubai also followed suit, "Besides, he is the only one who knows the whereabouts of your parents and sister now, so you have to let him ...... first."
"Sister Mu......" Qi Yuan, who had been holding his younger brother, suddenly opened his mouth to interrupt Mu Yubai, he raised his head, and despair spread in his eyes: "You are so smart, you say, my father, are you still alive?" ”
Still alive? These simple four words, like a fine needle piercing the softest place in Mu Yubai's heart, she couldn't bear to look at Qi Yuan's eyes full of dead ashes, restrained the tears that were about to flow, and tried to squeeze out a smile: "What are you talking about, stupid boy!" Ah Shan said just now that Rong Di will come over regularly, and your parents must not have found a chance to come back to pick up your brother. Mu Yu stumbled in her words, she didn't believe it herself, and she didn't expect Qi Yuan to believe it.
But if she nods and says yes now, if she wants to be cruel and kill the last glimmer of hope in this boy's eyes with her own hands, she really can't do it......
"Let's go." The boy restrained all his emotions, he stood up with his brother in his arms, stopped talking, and walked straight out of the courtyard.
