This isn't ...... Neither is this one......

I walked up and down among the dead bodies, scared and sad, carefully stepping on the clearing under my feet for fear that one would accidentally step on something. Bent down and turned over another dead corpse dressed in a uniform similar to the one Yuan Jue wore that day.

Suddenly there was a foul smell, and I almost passed out. No, it's not this, although this face is rotten, but the shape of the previous body is still not quite right.

I continued to rummage through the crowd of corpses, but everything on their bodies that could prove their identity, even the slightest thing that might suggest something related to Yuan Jue was gone, and the slightly intact clothes of the corpses were stripped away. I'm already on the verge of despair, if I continue to rummage like this, can I find Yuan Jue? On the one hand, I hope to find him, and on the other hand, I do not want to find him for the time being.

With these two contradictory feelings, I can only find the last hope in a pile of dead people.

No, it's not Yuan Jue, and neither is this.

What to do, where did Yuan Jue go? Is he still alive?

My eyes were uncomfortable, my hands were very dirty, so I used a clean sleeve to wipe it in reverse, but I didn't expect that the sleeve wiped my eyes, and there were inexplicable traces of water stains. This is, this is ...... Tears?

I froze.

No way, I'm a dryad, and no goblin has tears unless they're dying. Why, why do I have tears? Am I going to die too?

But I haven't found Yuan Jue yet, how can I die now.

When I was about to lose all faith, I heard a voice again, and someone approached. I stopped all my movements and listened patiently, yes, someone was coming here. Will it be Yuan Jue?

No, it's not Yuan Jue, this footstep is not Yuan Jue's. It sounds like there should be three people coming here, although they are all in the prime of life, none of them are Yuan Jue. Yuan Jue's footsteps should be lighter than these people, although he can't usually hear it, but when he compares with these people, he can clearly feel that after all, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his body must be lighter than others.

So who could these people be?

I deliberately raised my head and looked at the sky, it was already dusk, the sky was getting dark, these people came to the mass grave at this time, if it wasn't for the poor people in the city who came here to loot again, they would be soldiers.

Could it be the soldiers that Yuan Jue led? I suddenly lifted my breath, as if I had gained strength again.

However, what if it wasn't Yuan Jue's soldiers?

Yuan Jue is not the only one here to lead the troops, what if these people are those barbarian tribes of Yibu?

I stopped again and stood in the middle of a pile of corpses, clenching my hands tightly.

As the men spoke, they had approached around the woods, and one of them saw me first. He was immediately frightened, and stretched out his hand to me, trembling and unable to speak, and the other two were also startled when they saw him look suspiciously in the direction of his finger, and one of them even sat on the ground with his feet back and forth, as if trying to escape.

I guess they thought I was a female ghost.

The man who had been the first to find me came back to his senses, but he was very brave, and he drew his knife from his waist, and I saw only a blinding cold light passing through it, and he swung his knife at me.

This man did not ask any questions and did it.

I avoided it, but I didn't expect that this move had exhausted his strength, and the tip of his knife hit the ground, and he turned around and called out to his companion, "What are you doing stunned?" Can the woman who appears here at this time be a human being? Even if she is not a ghost, she will never be the daughter of an ordinary family! ”

When he shouted, I understood.

The other man who was still standing was taller and shriveled a little, and he was still trembling when he heard this man shout, and he trembled and touched the knife at his waist.

I was distracted, but I didn't expect to give the person in front of me a chance to recover. His blade against the ground suddenly turned backhanded, and it went straight up, slashing backwards, and I easily dodged it sideways. Seeing that he still didn't give up, I raised my hand and exerted force, and controlled him two steps away from me, unable to move.

I only waved my sleeves, and a gust of wind blew him to the ground, and the two men under my hands were still struggling, and the frightened man just now fumbled with his knife again.

I looked at the clothes these three people were wearing, and asked tentatively, "Are you soldiers from the Yuan clan?" ”

The person I accused of being under my command reacted first, although he couldn't move, he was still fierce, "Lao Tzu is the soldier of Yu State." ”

Yu country? I frowned, "What is Yuguo?" What I'm asking is, are you soldiers who follow Yuan Jue. ”

"Hahaha." He laughed, as if he was not afraid of death at all, "You ask the Yuan clan, and you ask our second son, don't you even know which country we belong to?" ”

The Yuan family? Second son? Ah, Yuan Jue, if you say so, "It turned out to be Yu Guo." Do you know where Yuan Jue is? ”

"What if you know!" It doesn't look like he's going to sue me.

"You...... You, you, you...... Are you a human or a ghost? But it was the one who had just been most frightened and asked, and he came forward little by little with the knife in front of his chest, trying to save his two companions, but he was about to cry.

I saw it clearly, it turned out that this was still a little boy at all, and he was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and I was scared out of my heart. I sighed, since I already knew that they were from Yuan Jue's side, there was no need to continue to stiffen, I let go and let them go. "If you know where Yuan Jue is, take me there." But the words have already been spoken, but I see that they are still indifferent, "I am not from Yibu, nor am I a female ghost, just take me there, Yuan Jue will naturally tell you who I am when he sees me." ”

The youngest one, shaken first, looked left and right.

"Impossible." It was the man who was a little tall and a little thin, in his early thirties, his complexion was a little gray, he saw that I was not threatening and put away the knife, "The second son has been in a coma for many days, and there is no way to confirm who you are." ”

Yuan Jue has been in a coma for many days?! This ...... "Where is he, take me quickly." ”

"Who are you the second son?" The person who had been completely accused by me just now had also eased up, and he didn't mean to relax his guard at all, and looked at me very vigilantly.

"I'm his master." I say.

Although the three of them were suspicious, they just got together and discussed it for a while, and then they seemed to acquiesce.

It was the same man who had slashed at me with a knife just now, and he looked like the little leader of the three. "In that case, there is really no other way to do it now anyway, so you can come with us."

I watched them turn around, pick something up from the ground, look back at me, and walk forward.

I followed, and the little head was at the front, the thin man in the middle, and the child closest to me at the end. He was scared of me at first, always clinging to the skinny man, and then turning his head to look at me from time to time. It's like watching, wondering when I'm going to suddenly disappear.

But slowly, he didn't seem to be so scared. He asked me, "You're really not a ghost, are you?" ”

I said, "No." ”

After a while, he turned his head to look at me again, "Are you really the second son's master?" ”

"When he wakes up, won't you know?" I can't think of any other way to answer him. But as soon as I finished speaking, I saw him lower his head, I thought about it and guessed that he might be scared because Yuan Jue was still unconscious, "Don't worry, he won't die." ”

"I'm the only man in my family, if something happens to the second son, we will definitely not go back." He lowered his head and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Just you, a man?" I don't quite understand the relationship.

"I'm fourteen, I originally wanted three older brothers, but in the past few years, Yu has recruited a lot of soldiers, and they have all been taken away as soldiers. And then he never came back. Last year, someone from above came to recruit me again, and dragged me from my home to the barracks. He said a little, slowing down a little, and slowly walked from the thin man to me. I now have a 50-year-old mother and a younger sister left in my family. ”

I was a little confused, and I had never experienced the qiē he said, but I could still feel the sourness in his tone when he told this. "Over the years, has Yu always been at war?"

"Hmm." He looked up at me, then hummed and lowered his head again.

It turns out that Yuan Jue has lived like this over the years.

"Houzi." The one who took the lead suddenly turned around to look for him and shouted, and the child who was walking beside me heard the voice and hurried forward, and the man reprimanded him, "It's okay to talk less, don't tell anyone anything." ”

"Oh." The boy answered, and walked behind the man, and when the man was not paying attention, the boy called Hou Zi secretly turned to look at me, and then was pushed by the thin man, and then continued to walk.

They had walked me for a long time, and it was already dark before they found their simple camp at the foot of a hillside.

The moment I saw Yuan Jue, I didn't know what to say. He lay there, half barearmed, with a thick bandage wrapped around him, which was so dirty that he could not see the color, gray and red.

Yuan Jue was much thinner than what he saw when he went up the mountain that day.

I didn't wait for them to explain anything, so I pushed them away and stepped forward, sat next to Yuan Jue and carefully examined his injuries, he had knife wounds, arrow wounds, and even burned by fire, I held his hand, he didn't react at all, his palms were rough as if charcoal, I rolled his eyelids, "How many days has he been in this condition?" ”

"Three days," the thin man replied to me, "we fought so hard to get out of the cold city, and the second son was seriously wounded by that time, and never woke up again. Now we are hiding here, and we don't dare to ask the doctor to come. ”

After listening to this qiē, I explained, "Is there water here?" Give me a basin of water. ”

"Oh, I'll go." Hou Zi suddenly answered and hurriedly ran out.

I leaned over to him, Yuan Jue's breath was so weak that it was almost nothing, and I exhaled a breath of essence to him. Hou Zi had already run in with water, the water in the basin was a little muddy, not very clean, I saw Hou Zi sweating back and forth, and knew that he had done his best.

Hou Zi held the water, full of expectation in front of me, his eyes flashed a little light, I helplessly, put my hand into the basin, a little spell, the water in the basin instantly became clear and transparent.

Hou Zi was so overjoyed that he almost screamed, but he looked at the person behind him and held back, I asked him to approach Yuan Jue with water.

Get up and heal Yuan Jue's injuries with the technique of water.

The stream of clear water swam all over his body, swimming under the skin with breath, giving his dry body life again. When he stopped his hand, the water flow returned to the basin along the gesture, and the injuries on Yuan Jue's body were much lighter, his face was more ruddy, and his breath was even.

They were about to come up and ask something, but I pushed them away and motioned for them to be silenced, "Go out and say, he's sleeping lightly now, don't wake him up, let him rest well to recover." ”

When I got up, there was a sudden moment of darkness in front of me, and my feet were unstable, but fortunately I helped Hou Zi to stand.

"Are you alright?" Hou Zi asked.

I shook my head and followed them out of the tent.

"What happened to the second son." The one who took the lead asked, as soon as the words came out, maybe he also felt that his tone was not good, he pursed his lips, his expression was a little weird, and then slowed down his tone and continued, "I'm a rough person, and I hope the girl won't be surprised if I have offended before." ”

"It's fine." When I went down the mountain ten years ago, I saw a lot of rude people, but this person didn't bargain, so I naturally didn't take it to heart, "It just so happens that I am also a person from the mountains, and I don't have so many restraints." ”

"The little Qiao Ping is a deputy general under the command of the second son." He said and pointed to the tall, thin man, "He's Gao Yong." ”

I nodded my head in greeting.

"I'm Hou Yue." Hou Zi got up, and then was glared at fiercely by Vice General Qiao before he changed his words and said, "Little Hou Yue." ”

"I just saw that you guys looked like you picked up something at the mass grave." I remembered the scene when they turned around, and asked with some confusion, "When I came out of Mangcheng before, I heard the people in the city say that they would go to the mass grave to pick up some food and use, I don't know ...... you."

"Hey......" Gao Yong sighed, "If there is a way, we don't want to live like this." ”

That's when I understood where they were.

"Before I was brought in to serve as a soldier, my family was the biggest rice merchant in the city. At that time, who would have known that now I can't even eat a mouthful of food. Gao Yong laughed at himself. This world is not as good as a year, we follow the second son, at least the second son will not shout at us, and some of the generals in the DPRK and China are even more ...... Hey......"
