Chapter 81: Justified!
Lin Zhao sat at the entrance of the cave for a while, and after sorting out his thoughts, he turned around and walked towards the cave.
That Cheng Zhizhou's fierceness, he has seen it, now there are Cheng Jingzong's people outside, if he goes out at this time, not to mention that there is a high chance that he will be killed as a bandit, even if he is not killed by mistake, that Zhizhou master will not mind disposing of Lin Zhao casually.
Therefore, in the next few days, Lin Zhao must hide in this cave, hide as much as possible, and wait until the limelight has passed, and then find a way to return to Yuezhou.
This cave, the entrance is still very bright, but the more you go inside, the darker it becomes, when you get to that flat land, you can't see anything clearly, just now Boss Xu raised a torch to illuminate it, and when Lin Zhao walked to the flat land again, he saw that the little girl had lit an oil lamp, emitting a faint light, illuminating this flat land that was not small.
Lin Zhao looked left and right at the small room, then picked up some straw behind the stove, made a simple bed for himself, and then he sat on the straw, looked at the sister and brother in front of him, and said: "It's daytime, you can light the light, and at night, you must turn it off, do you know?" ”
During the day, the light of an oil lamp is inconspicuous, but at night there is still a faint light in the cave, as long as there are people nearby, the cave will definitely be discovered.
The little girl sat on the edge of the bed and nodded timidly: "Got it." ”
Compared to this little girl, the little boy who was two years younger than him was much braver, he took his sister's hand, looked at Lin Zhao, and said, "What's your name?" ”
"Lin Zhao."
Lin Saburo sat on the straw, looked at the pair of sisters and brothers by the light, and asked, "What are you two called?" ”
The little girl was more familiar with Lin Zhao, and immediately said, "My name is Caiyi." ”
After speaking, she pointed to her younger brother and continued: "His name is Chaozong. ”
After speaking, the little girl named Xu Caiyi lowered her head and said, "But the people in the village don't call us that, they call us Big Girl and Little Tiger." ”
Lin Zhao lowered his head and pondered, and asked with some curiosity: "Who gave you these two names?" ”
Xu Chaozong bowed his head and didn't speak, Xu Caiyi said softly: "Daddy said, it was the name that my mother gave us, Daddy he didn't read, but he can write the names of both of us, and my mother left early, and Daddy taught us to write our names." ”
Lin Zhao smiled: "Your mother must have read a lot of books, and the names given to you all have provenances. ”
The names of the two sisters and brothers are all from the classics, and it is clear that their mother, who died young, was probably the daughter of a large family and lived in the mountains.
Hearing Lin Zhao mention his mother, the two sisters and brothers were interested, and immediately asked what their names meant, Lin Zhao was also very patient, and sat down to explain the two sentences of "Huacai Clothes Ruoying" and "Chaozong Yuhai" to the two children.
The two of them grew up in the village and never read at all, but they listened to it with relish at this time.
The three young men, who were not very old, were whispering in the cave, at this time there was a faint sound of fighting outside, Lin Zhao's heart was cold, he quickly got up and blew out the oil lamp, and whispered to the two children in the dark: "Silence." ”
So the two children were very obedient and silent, Lin Zhao let the two of them sleep on the bed, and he slept on the straw, it was still summer, the cave was quite shady, and the three of them were in a worried mood, and slowly fell asleep.
Lin Zhao woke up from sleep, it was already late at night, and he couldn't see his five fingers in the cave, because it was in the mountains, and he could faintly hear one or two wolf howls outside, he didn't dare to light the lamp, so he could only whisper in the night: "You two, are you awake?" ”
"Wake up."
Both little ones whispered back.
Lin Zhao adjusted to the darkness for a while, then groped for a little dry food, slowly put it in the hands of the two children, and then said softly: "You guys eat something first......
In this kind of place, it is naturally impossible to make a fire, and for the next few days, the three of them can only drink cold water and eat dry food.
In the dark night, the three of them were like three big rats, gnawing on dry food little by little.
Because he had already slept for a while, Lin Zhao was not sleepy in the second half of the night, and it was easy to stay up until morning, he boldly ran to the entrance of the cave to watch the situation, but there was no one around, and there was no sound, and he didn't know what was going on.
In this way, Lin Zhao took the two children and lived in the cave for three days, during these three days, only during the day they could light the oil lamp and get some light, with these lights, the little girl Xu Caiyi would play tiger chess with Lin Zhao to relieve her boredom.
On the morning of the fourth day, Lin Zhao finally couldn't help it, he got up from the straw, and then turned back to the two children and whispered: "You stay here, I'll go out to see the situation, if I don't come back, you won't go anywhere." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Zhao remembered something and said, "If I don't come back, you will eat the food in this cave before you go out." ”
After three days, the two children were quite familiar with Lin Zhao, and they both nodded: "Got it, Brother Lin." ”
Lin Zhao patted the straw sticking to his body, and walked out of the cave boldly, he was naturally smart and had a good memory, he could clearly remember the way Boss Xu led them over, climbed a few slopes, and after some detours, Lin Zhao finally saw the Sky Wolf Village from afar, he took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and climbed to the vicinity of the Sky Wolf Village.
After climbing to the vicinity of the Heavenly Wolf Village, Lin Zhao was stunned to find that this village, which was originally not a small scale, had been burned, leaving only some broken wood and adobe, and the main body of the adobe of the entire village was still there, but it was basically burned.
At this time, the village was empty, only charred corpses under the collapsed wood.
Lin Zhao shook his head, turned around and found a high place to climb up, and after looking around, he found that there was no trace of the officials and soldiers on the entire Dongbai Mountain, and it was obvious that these officers and soldiers had withdrawn from the Dongbai Mountain.
Lin Zhao's heart was awe-inspiring.
Cheng Jingzong and the others are here for insiders like Boss Xu, and since they have retreated, they represent ...... Boss Xu is dead.
As for Lin Zhao's method of teaching Boss Xu, it sounds feasible, but it is too difficult to operate, after all, there are people in the official army who have taken a close look at Boss Xu.
Lin Zhao shook his head and sighed, and was about to go back to the cave to bring the two children over, when he suddenly heard a movement under a beam behind him that had not completely collapsed, and he took two steps forward cautiously, only to see that under the beam that had not collapsed, there were more than a dozen charred corpses, one of them lying among the corpses, but the clothes on his body were not charred, but his clothes were full of blood, and there was a feather arrow on his back, which looked quite terrifying.
This person was obviously not dead, and he hid among the corpses and saw Lin Zhao, so he made a movement.
This person's face was full of blood, and he couldn't distinguish his appearance for a while, but Lin Zhao felt familiar again, and immediately asked cautiously, "Master Xu Zhai?" ”
The man coughed a few times, looked up at Lin Zhao, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's me." ”
Obviously, he was badly injured and it was unknown whether he would survive.
Lin Zhao boldly took two steps forward, walked in front of Boss Xu, and then breathed a sigh of relief: "Is Lord Xu Zhai seriously injured?" I'm going to find you a doctor? ”
At this time, he had already walked to Boss Xu and squatted down, and was about to continue talking, when Boss Xu, who was already dying, suddenly stretched out his left hand and buckled Lin Zhao's neck fiercely!
He was covered in blood, his eyes widened with anger, and he looked at Lin Zhao viciously.
"Those officials and soldiers said that the reason why my Heavenly Wolf Village was destroyed was because it was too stupid......"
"After I was seriously injured, I hid in the pile of corpses for three days, thinking about it......"
Speaking of this, he glared at Lin Zhao angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "It's you, it's you, isn't it?" ”
"You gave me those ideas that hurt our stockade, didn't you?"
"Isn't it!"
Lin Zhao originally thought that he had lost his combat effectiveness, so he relaxed his vigilance, but he didn't expect that Boss Xu, who looked like he was seriously injured and dying, still had the strength to attack him.
But it just caused some trouble to Lin Zhao.
Lin Zhao took a deep breath, and his two hands exerted force together, only then did he break away from Boss Xu's left hand, he sat on the ground, took two steps back, and looked at Boss Xu cautiously.
After making sure that Boss Xu was seriously injured and had no way to move, Lin Zhao stood up from the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "It's you who are stupid, you attacked the Lin family at night and killed so many people, why do you think I will help you?" ”
"With that lovely daughter of yours?"
That night, Lin Jian was only one line away, and he died at the hands of these thieves, if Lin Jian died, Lin Zhao would probably not live.
What's more, Zhao Ji, who had a very good relationship with Lin Zhao, also died at the hands of these bandits, how could he not hate it in his heart?
How can you be willing to give advice to the bandits?
In the face of these crusading officers and soldiers, the Heavenly Wolf Village, which originally had a favorable geographical location, did not have a chance to fight back, but because of Lin Zhao's few words, there was a split within the Heavenly Wolf Village, and only a small number of bandits resisted the official army head-on from beginning to end.
This led to the rapid rout of the Sky Wolf Village.
At this time, since there was already a showdown, Lin Zhao no longer hid anything, he got up from the ground and looked coldly at Boss Xu in the pile of corpses.
Then he looked left and right, and finally saw a long knife nearby, and as he bent down to pick it up, he said, "Actually, I lied to you about more than that. ”
"Cheng Jingzong certainly wants to kill you, but how can he have so much time to stay in this barren mountain and wilderness?"
"Those officials and soldiers will not have so much energy to search the mountains over and over again."
Lin Zhao finally picked up the knife and said slowly: "Originally, as long as you hid in that cave for a few days, maybe the officials and soldiers would retreat, but I deceived you out, and the purpose was to borrow the hands of those officials and soldiers to take your life." ”
"In order not to arouse your suspicion, I also gave you an idea to get out of it very thoughtfully."
Finally, Lin Sanlang, who was a little thin, carried the long knife and walked in front of the seriously injured and dying Boss Xu, the young man raised the knife with both hands, his eyes were fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You and I have no grudges, only blame you for doing the wrong thing that you shouldn't have done, and killing people who shouldn't have been killed!" ”
"Murder pays for life, it is justified."
Seeing the long knife in the young man's hand, Boss Xu, who could only barely move, looked frightened.
