The next day, the two stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the empty streets, relatively silent.

"Let's go, it's important to go home. Li Wanwan was the first to break the silence, after all, as a girl who has never left the house, she can't let go of her family's longing.

"Okay, I'll take you home. Chen Yichen's idea is very firm, he must bring Wanwan home, this is his promise to everyone.

The two looked at each other and smiled, as if they had forgotten the worries in their hearts. If this place is changed to a place of flowers, handsome men and beautiful women are afraid that they will envy others. Holding the hand of the son, walking in the mountains and dense forests is also interesting.

With last night's rest, the girl next to her looks much better. Xu is a girl's nature, and when she heard that she was going home, Li Wanwan smiled. Chen Yichen, who was beside him, was a little more sad, and he wanted to return to Lingshou Village as soon as possible, but he had no clue how to go on the road under his feet.

I was worried that I couldn't tell the people in front of me, so I could only bite the bullet and go all the way along the road that extended from the entrance of the village. Chen Yichen's idea is very simple, since there is a road leading to the village, then as long as you follow the road, you will definitely find other villages. Even if you meet a random person on the road, it is a good thing to ask where you are.

After walking along the mountain road for most of the day, no one met a single person, let alone a village, but the more and more desolate it became. Chen Yichen began to regret it, wondering if he had chosen the wrong path, and involuntarily presented a word in his head, which was in the opposite direction.

At this point, there is no choice. The two took a short break and continued walking along the winding path for more than an hour, finally seeing hope. What appeared in front of them was a zigzag intersection, and the path under the feet of the two finally merged into a large avenue.

"Brother Chen, how do you get there now?"

Faced with his fiancée's question, Chen Yichen was also confused, and the ghost knew how to go. However, one thing is certain, no matter which direction you go, you should not be lost. The ruts on the road are clear proof that this is a road to a prosperous place.

"Let's go this way. Chen Yichen chose a direction at random, thinking that he would find a village or town first, and he still had a few taels of silver on him, and then he would hire a donkey cart to save such a panicked rush.

After making up their minds, the two continued to hurry, and they didn't go far, and the two were stunned at the same time. A hundred steps away, there were more than a dozen people lying horizontally, not knowing whether they were alive or dead. Seeing the scene in front of him, Chen Yichen chuckled in his heart, could it be another group of dead people?

Looking at each other, Chen Yichen frowned and said, "I'll go check it out, you stay where you are and wait for me for the time being, don't move." ”

"Be careful. Li Wanwan wanted to stop him, but seeing his resolute face, it was inconvenient to say anything.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Chen Yichen smiled and said, "The sky is bright and bright, not to mention that I am so clever, what can I do, I will come back soon." ”

A hundred steps away, it won't take long at all, but Chen Yichen walked extremely carefully on this road. While keeping your eyes on the front, you have to watch out for the grass on the side of the road, and your fiancée behind you has to pay attention at all times. No one can guarantee that there will be jackals, tigers and leopards that will suddenly rush out of the woods.

Everything went smoothly without any surprises. Looking at the people lying on the ground, Chen Yichen knew that these people had just died, and their blood had not yet coagulated. The deceased were all men, the oldest in his forties, and the youngest looked five or six years older than him. Although they were dressed like ordinary people, the various swords scattered on the ground were enough to prove that they were not ordinary people.

Who are these people? What happened? Who killed them? Chen Yichen's mind was full of questions. Looking around, there were 14 people lying on the ground, some of them were fatal with one blow, and some of them were injured many times, and the scene was unbearable.

"Brother Chen, are you okay? ”

In the distance, there was a sound of shouting. Chen Yichen beckoned and shouted, "It's okay, Wanwan, you can come over too, let's get out of here quickly." ”

Seeing his fiancée running towards him, Chen Yichen dragged the dead body to the grass on the side of the road, not wanting Wanwan to see this tragic situation. After all, for a girl, her mental capacity is still very limited.

Drag the last corpse into the grass and let out a long breath. Wiping the sweat welling up on his forehead, he was just about to step out, only to feel his ankles tight, as if he was entangled in something. Frightened, he bowed his head violently, and a bloodstained hand clutched his ankle.

"Oh my god. Chen Yichen, who was in a panic, raised his other foot, kicked it hard, and exclaimed, "What the hell." ”

His wrist hurt, but he grabbed Chen Yichen tighter. At the same time, a scream of "ah" was heard from the pile of corpses.

"Oh my god, I'm cheating. Chen Yichen was frightened out of the sweat, and even kicked a few times before his hand let go of his ankle, and he escaped from the grass with a rolling belt.

"Help... Save me. ”

The faint ** coming from behind made him realize that this didn't seem to be a fraudulent corpse. Turning around in a panic, he saw a man slowly struggling, trying to crawl out of the grass, as if he was not yet dead.

"You, you're not dead yet?" Chen Yi and Chen got up from the ground in a hurry, subconsciously pulled up his posture, and was ready to fight to the death with the person in front of him at any time.

"Save. Save me. ”

"Brother Yichen, what's wrong?" Wanwan had already come to her side at this time, and when she saw his strange appearance, she didn't know what was going on.

"It's like... There was one more person who didn't die. Chen Yichen looked at the owner of the bloody hand, who was a few years older than himself. Compared with others, he is slightly gorgeously dressed, and although there are dust and blood stains on his face, it is not difficult to see that his skin is fairer.

"That's... Are we going to save him?" Li Wanwan couldn't bear to see the dead body in the grass, and deliberately looked into the distance.

"This ......" Chen Yichen was even more entangled, if the person died, it would be enough. Now suddenly there is a half-dead, no matter what. Looking at the man who had passed out in front of him, a trace of hesitation flashed in his heart, and finally he gritted his teeth and squatted on the ground to inspect his situation.

The faint flow of air in the nostrils confirmed that the person had only passed out temporarily. On closer inspection, only the back was wounded by a sharp blade. Judging from the blood that flowed out, the wound was not deep, and it should only hurt the skin. Less than a foot long, this wound alone is not enough to kill.

"Save his life. Chen Yichen made up his mind, half-knelt on the ground, put the injured man's head on his knees, took out the water he carried with him, and fed him some.

"Can he still be saved?" Li Wanwan slowly turned around, looked at the people on the ground, squatted down to help him feed the water together, and said, "The outside world, why is it so chaotic, why are they killed?"

"I guess I've met a bad guy. "The world is sinister, Chen Yichen has felt it deeply these days. For Li Wanwan, he just wants her to live a worry-free life, but the world is never something that can be changed by one person, he can only answer like this.

Water is known as the source of life, and there is no reason for this. The injured man was watered, slowly opened his eyes, and said extremely weakly, "Help me." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Yi Chen will definitely save you. ”

Just for a moment, I fainted again. At least it proves that he is still conscious. Carrying the injured man on his back, the two continued along the main road. It's just that Chen Yichen's pace has become faster, and he can't wait to have wings and leave the land of right and wrong quickly.

Good people are often not too lucky. After walking along the main road for more than two hours, near nightfall, I finally saw a house that seemed to be very large in front of me. The flag shaking in the wind in the distance had a character Chen written on it, which seemed to be not small, and Chen Yichen secretly said in his heart: Such a big house, this is where the emperor lives.

Seeing hope gave him motivation, although there was a living man on his back along the way, but his body was on the thin side, not even as good as a wild deer, and this weight could still be borne by him. As the distance narrowed, Chen Yichen realized that this did not seem to be a big house, but it was very similar to the city that people said.

A hundred steps away, Chen Yichen affirmed the thoughts in his heart. This is a city, heavily guarded on the city wall, and the word Chen is written on the swaying flag, is this the territory of the Chen State? Thinking of this, he felt a little more joy in his heart, after the attack of Liu Huazhen, in his subconscious, he had already summarized himself as a Chen Guoren.

Look at the city tall and straight, the rock is laid, the blue brick is made of the wall, and the heavy wooden door under the round arch is closed, which has the potential to be solid. Look at the top again, there are two big characters on the book: Mocheng.

"Who is the person below, who dares to step into the city and kill him. ”

The shouts on the city wall made Chen Yichen stop, and only then did he realize that the crossbowmen hidden behind the pheasant wall were already ready for battle. And in the middle of the city wall, someone poked his head out and looked at him.

"Don't let the arrows go. Chen Yichen was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "We are the people of Da Chen, we met mountain bandits on the road, and someone was injured and came to heal." ”

"Come here. With a wave of his hand, the crossbowman hid again.

Standing under the city, looking at the closed city gate, Chen Yichen felt small for the first time, like a drop in the ocean.

"Squeak..."

The soldiers worked together to slowly open a gap in the heavy city gate, and one of them poked his head out to take a closer look, beckoned, and said, "Come in quickly." ”

Follow the soldiers to the inner city and stop at a makeshift wooden hut. I saw three people sitting below, one of them wearing armor and a long knife across his waist. The other two were dressed as soldiers.

When the visitors saw Chen Yi and Chen, they all stood up. After the leader looked at him coldly, he rotated around the three of them, looked at the wounds of the injured man, and said, "Where did he come from, and who was he injured?"

Chen Yichen had never seen a battle, and he was still thinking in his mind, how to call this person, the eldest brother is still a general, but when he heard the other party's words, his brain twitched, and he said: "This army general ...... No, this uncle.... Nor is it, General. ”

"General, yes, General. Chen Yichen looked at the laughing soldiers next to him, only felt the hot heat on his face, calmed down his nervousness, and continued: "We are fleeing, we saw a lot of dead people on the road, and he was injured. ”

"Little brother, don't be nervous, this is Mocheng, it's safe. "The leader of the generals is here to interrogate and inspect those who enter the city, so as to prevent enemy spies from infiltrating the city.

"I see... Seen, written outside. Chen Yichen answered his question truthfully, and in this way, the general concluded that this person would not be a spy, so he no longer asked carefully.

"The family is separated, right, and only the three of you brothers and sisters are left?"

"No, not brother and sister. Chen Yichen looked at Wanwan and continued: "Her my fiancée. ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The general originally wanted to test Chen Yichen, but when he heard such an honest turnaround, he waved his hand. The soldier behind him took out three silver ingots from the box and handed them to the general.

"Come, take it. The general swept the silver ingot in his hand and continued: "Now that there is war ahead, you can't go back to your home. Your Majesty has decreed that every one of his people who flee may receive five taels of silver, which will be enough for you to find a place to live. ”

"It's... My mother said that you can't ask for other people's things. Chen Yichen is also telling the truth, his mother did say so.

"Don't?" the generals laughed when they heard the answer, and their salary was only one or two halves a month. You must know that five taels of silver is not a small amount, and ordinary farmers only spend one or two pieces of silver a year.

Since he came to Mocheng, there have been hundreds of people who have fled, and those who can say that they don't want this money. That's it. Being able to hear such an answer made the general have to re-examine this person. is not very old, but he is innocent and not tempted by money, so he naturally has a good impression of him in his heart. Then I thought about it, this person must be a fool!

"Don't. Chen Yichen looked at the silver ingot and nodded.

Money is the material basis that people dream of. For Chen Yichen, money is not so important. He has lived in Lingxi Mountain since he was a child, where people are bartering, and there has never been a money transaction. Chen Yichen, who is ignorant of the world, has not yet realized how big the role of money is. In other words, if you give him a wild boar, maybe he will gladly accept it.

"It's kind of interesting. The general nodded frequently, looked at the girl, and said, "Little girl, there is also your share here." ”

"Brother Chen said no, then don't. Li Wanwan's answer is very simple, for the concept of money, it is not as good as Chen Yichen.

"Okay. Then you... I don't want it. The general squinted at the unconscious man and said to himself that he had answered for him. I checked the silver in my hand, and smiled bitterly in my heart, there was a time when the money couldn't be sent.

"Can we go?"

"Of course. Facing Chen Yichen's question, the general said to the soldiers around him: "Let them enter the city." ”

With the permission of the leader, the soldiers naturally did not dare to stop it. Open the last barrier leading to the city, and signal the two to leave quickly.

In Chen Yichen's cognition, such a city will definitely be very lively. Whoever thinks what he sees in front of him is very different from what he thinks in his heart. The wide streets are crowded with pedestrians, and many of the businesses that used to be are now mostly closed.

The two of them were corpses, and they found an inn in the town to make plans for the time being. The city knew that war was coming, and most of them fled. Those who are left behind are those who are not afraid of death and those who love money as much as their lives, and who are unwilling to give up their family business here, or who believe in their army more.

There are few people in the city, and the business of the inn is naturally much colder. If you come on weekdays, I'm afraid the treatment will be average. arranged two rooms and entrusted the shopkeeper to find a Langzhong.

Glancing at the injured person lying on the bed, Chen Yichen finally let out a long breath, and he was really a little sore all the way. secretly said in my heart: Whether you can survive or not depends on your life.
