Volume 2 Military Horse Xiao Xiao Chapter 22 Agarwood (Medium)
Yesterday's woman stood in front of a sergeant on horseback with two baby boys in her arms.
Because of the great drought in the sky, the woman had just come to the village, and she had no extra food except for the subsistence rice.
As soon as such a tax is paid, the three of them will starve to death.
The woman knelt on her knees, her voice trembled slightly, and begged bitterly: "Send someone, the child's father left early, and now there is a drought and panic, there is really no rice at home, there is no food to pay, the people's daughter Gu Xiangning is guilty, send people to do well, when the drought passes, they will pay in full, and ask the messenger to let our baby have a way to live!" ”
"The! Dare to disobey the holy will of the Ming monarch and kill! ”
The Pegasus soldier shouted again, and all the horses pulled out their waist knives, and the bright light knife burst through the moon, stabbing straight at Gu Xiangning, who was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this, all the villagers and neighbors held their weapons in front of Gu Xiangning.
"Poor master, not long after this woman came to the village, let her live, okay, may the emperor be healthy!"
"The! If this guy has no rations, he will exchange it for his head! ”
After saying that, the Pegasus soldiers gave the order, and the horses rushed towards Gu Xiangning, who was surrounded by the villagers.
Gu Xiangning saw that the sergeant was pressing with swords, and was afraid that the child in his arms would be in danger, so he immediately wrapped his hands around the two babies, and then grabbed the ground with his head and begged the errand officer for mercy.
The sound hit the ground, the blood on Gu Xiangning's forehead burst out, and the two babies cried nonstop.
And the flashing white sword light has never been annihilated.
……
"Slow!"
Suddenly, the leading general began to order a retreat and said with a smile: "The great drought is here, the emperor has mercy on the people, if the people have no rice and grain for the time being, after the drought in the coming year, they will be handed over again, and the army will withdraw!" ”
More than twenty horsemen turned their heads and disappeared into the hazy moonlight.
Gu Xiangning had just fainted due to the slamming of his forehead on the ground, but fortunately he had the support of the neighbors, so he whispered thank you in a daze, but his hands still wrapped around the two baby boys and never let go.
After a commotion, Agarwood returned to her boudoir with her mother to prepare for sleep.
……
Outside the village.
"Head, let's confiscate Qi rice grain, how can we explain to the above?"
……
"Head, the blame from above, what should we do?"
……
"Head!"
"Smack!"
A resounding slap slapped the Pegasus soldier in the face, leading a flurry of invective, and there was no shortage of punches and kicks.
Due to the leader's excessive force, his hands covered his waist, and his face began to be hideous.
"Head, your waist ......, it's time to drink the medicine!"
"Yes, you have to dare to mention our waist ...... again"
Obviously, this general, whose waist is not very good, has not been married so far, and has been counted down by the soldiers all day long.
……
Because the army has just been violently in front of the neighbors, at the foot of the Son of Heaven outside the capital, it seems that this blatant massacre will surely cause public indignation, and gossip will spread throughout Kyoto, if the Holy Lord knows about it, for the anger of the people, the horses will be destroyed.
Therefore, the leader can only stage a good show in front of his neighbors, which not only obeys the way of heaven, but also appeases the people, and does enough to be kind in front of people and fierce in the back.
Everyone gradually walked away, and the leader slowly stopped scolding his subordinates after drinking the medicine.
"Hey! When you're far away, you go and release that guy towards the village. ”
……
In the dense forest outside the deserted village, a soldier stood next to an iron cage.
Through the iron cage, two red rays of light shot out.
As the red light burst out, the iron cage began to tremble.
The sound became louder and louder, and the earth shook incessantly, and the birds and beasts moved away from the iron cage.
After a frenzy of the iron cage, the soldier opened the cage.
……
"Bring the gauze!"
In the hut in the village, a country doctor and a small apprentice were healing the confused Gu Xiangning, but Gu Xiangning still held on to the two baby boys and refused to let go.
……
……
Suddenly, the sleeping agarwood was awakened by the sound of slamming hooves on the ground.
Immediately, a roar struck, and Agarwood tightened her abdomen in panic, stood upright, and looked sideways out the window.
I saw two blood-red rays of light shooting, and behind those two rays of blood, a fierce beast and two hooves were slamming into the ground, rushing towards the village.
The figure drew closer and closer, until the "king" above his head was clearly visible.
A tiger that had not eaten for three days, its eyes were bloodshot and eventually condensed into blood, and it was rushing towards the village.
"There are tigers, all the folks run away!"
The village was suddenly chaotic, after all, most of the villagers were old and weak, women and children, and there was no one to lead the battle, for a tiger into the village, the villagers had no ability to resist, only thinking about how to escape.
Obviously, the villagers' feet are not as strong as this hungry tiger.
Through the small window of agarwood, agarwood saw that wherever the tiger went, flying claws were rampant, splashing blood for three feet, and corpses were all over the field.
The tiger pounced bloodthirstily, and in an instant, there was no sound outside the house.
Agarwood sat in front of the window, shivering.
The tiger pressed closer, slowly walking towards the window.
Suddenly, a pair of hands covered the small mouth of the agarwood and hugged it.
Agarwood's mother held Agarwood in her arms at a critical moment and escaped from the back window of the thatched house.
The two of them ran towards the outside of the village at a high speed.
"Bang!"
I don't know when the tiger came behind the two Agarwood Niang, a vicious pounce, and the Agarwood Niang fell suddenly.
"Let's go!"
The woman pushed the agarwood five meters away.
Agarwood fled quickly with tears in her eyes, but behind her she heard the sound of hungry tigers grinding their teeth eating.
Just as the agarwood was running, another pair of hands grabbed the agarwood and dragged the agarwood into a ruin.
Agarwood turned around, and Xiaole appeared, also with tears, telling Agarwood to hold her breath and not make a sound.
Just now, Xiaole's whole family was also slaughtered by this hungry tiger, and Xiaole fled to the ruins alone.
The hungry tiger swayed back and forth around the ruins, and the two children shivered behind the ruins, not knowing what to do.
Suddenly, the tiger looked at Gu Xiangning's hut on the other side of the ruins.
The hungry tiger snatched the window in.
A startling sound struck.
I saw Gu Xiangning pick up the two baby boys and rush out of the grass house.
"Bang!"
Immediately, the door of the grass house suddenly exploded, and pieces of residual wood fell under the bright moon, and the tiger broke through the door, fiercely, across the top of Gu Xiangning's head, and landed in front of Gu Xiangning.
The evil tiger bared its fangs and pressed towards Gu Xiangning step by step.
Gu Xiangning was desperate, put the two baby boys on the ground behind him, stood up, and blocked the tiger with his body.
Immediately, the calm sky was instantly overcast, and the soft moon was immediately annihilated by the chaotic clouds, and the rolling black clouds were pressed down in an instant, and the wind suddenly exploded between the villages, and the leaves fell all over the court.
Gu Xiangning opened her arms and closed her eyes.
A roar of a fierce beast sounded, and Gu Xiangning pounced.
A thunderbolt struck down and hit the tiger behind him.
The evil tiger slaughtered the village, and the people and gods were angry.
The tiger trembled at the thunder, and then continued to walk unscrupulously towards the cries of hooves.
Another roar rang out, and the tiger lifted its front hooves off the ground, stood upright, and pounced on the two boys with both paws at the same time.
Agarwood and Xiaole were shocked, they had never seen such a bloody scene in their lives, and just as the tiger claws pounced on the two babies, the two children were stunned with both eyes.
