Only this ruined city stands alone on this land, and the autumn afterglow looks particularly dilapidated and deserted.

A figure cautiously poked its head out of the arrow hole in the battlement of the city wall to take a look, and then quickly retracted, and then slowly poked its head out to look around. After doing this several times, he had the courage to look down at the city, and then shouted with joy: "The thieves have retreated." The voice was crisp and a little immature, and it turned out to be a half-grown little girl.

With this shout, many people stood up on the city wall one after another, supporting each other and lying on the city wall to look out. At a glance, there are all old and weak women and children, the youngest is not more than ten years old, but the older one has a white beard, and he has to take two breaths when he walks. And most of the people on the city wall are women, naturally not those female generals who are more fierce than the tigers under the command of Hucha Winter Cicada, they are all ordinary women. These women, old and young, had no military uniforms, let alone armor, and wore the clothes they wore when they were at home, including brocade clothes and fine clothes, as well as coarse linen clothes, in different forms, and there were countless of them. But at the moment, it was all dirty, and even the appearance on his face was smoked by the smoke and fire, and he was really embarrassed.

I just don't know where the sturdy men in this city have gone, and only these old and weak women and children are still guarding a lonely city.

"Madam, ma'am, come and see, the thieves have all run away, and we have won again." The girl who had just spoken couldn't help but run to the side and said happily in front of a woman who was leaning against the wall and trying to breathe.

This woman is one of the few people wearing armor on the city wall at this moment, holding a red tasseled spear in her hand, sword eyebrows and apricot eyes, quite heroic, even if she is covered with blood, it is difficult to hide her natural beauty, but her face is a little pale, very hard, but she has to pretend to be nothing.

The woman nodded and said, "Pear, go and tell everyone to hurry up and rest, these grass sea thieves don't know when they will attack again, and they can't be taken lightly." ”

Li'er obediently answered and ran to help the crooked villagers. The woman took a deep breath, her face suddenly lost blood, her abdomen was like a cramp, and she stumbled under her feet, and hurriedly reached out to hold on to the city wall before she could barely stabilize herself. After a while, the woman took a difficult step. However, what is surprising is that every time the woman moves, her feet become more and more resolute, and from a distance, it seems that it is not a person who is coming, but a breath of air, daring to ask the heavens for her fate.

The woman passed along the way, and everyone who saw the woman, whether old or young, would respectfully and lovingly call Mrs. The woman chuckled lightly, this smile added a touch of tenderness to the heroic spirit on her face, and it was especially cherished in this smoke-filled situation.

The woman gently said a word or two to everyone who passed by, either comforting or greeting. There are old people with tearful eyes, little dolls who don't know the height of the sky, and villagers who have a look of reverence and forget their pain and are tired, no matter what the situation is, whether they are hungry or sleepy, they will always look at the woman with respect, and they should say a word or two. So it should be the death of a man who is a confidant. It's just that if a person can have a confidant who can die for himself, it should be in vain, but the woman in front of him seems to have a city of Li people who don't care about life and death who can go to the soup for her, and she will not give up.

On a piece of rubble under the city wall sat a rich woman, who looked like she had been pampered for a long time, but now she was just leaning against the dark base of the wall and closing her eyes to recuperate. There were two maid-like maidservants beside him, one on the left and one on the right, who were already so tired that they had fallen asleep.

The woman walked here, smiled gently, and gently pulled the woman's half-slipped coat and covered it a little. I haven't had a good night's sleep these days, and the weather is getting colder, and the woman's body and bones must not be able to endure it.

The woman groaned, slowly opened her eyes, and saw the woman standing in front of her, snorted, and was about to sit up, the woman hurriedly held it down, and said softly: "Mrs. Qi, you can rest again." ”

"Mrs. Cheng, I'm fine. Are the thieves gone? ”

"Hmm."

Mrs. Qi let out a sigh of relief and said, "These people who have suffered thousands of knives are finally gone, Mrs. Cheng, will they come back?" ”

The woman in uniform smiled slightly and said, "Mrs. Qi, don't be afraid, everything has me." ”

Mrs. Qi's eyes were sour, and tears fell like beads, washing away the smoke on her face, revealing a rather fair complexion: "I don't know what happened to them, whether Qing'er is cold and hungry, why don't you even send us a letter these days, I, I, I ......" As she spoke, Mrs. Qi swallowed, woke up the two maids who were sleeping, opened her sleepy eyes, and looked at her wife blankly.

The woman in military costume comforted softly: "Mrs. Qi, the world is not peaceful now, where is there anyone to send a letter, rest assured, Ji Cheng and Qing'er are together, it's okay." ”

Mrs. Qi took the hand of the woman in military uniform, and as soon as she started crying, she was gone, and she was so teary-eyed.

There was not the slightest impatient look on the face of the woman in military uniform, and she gently persuaded and appeased Mrs. Qi's grief of the six gods and no master. After this delay, many people surrounded the woman in military uniform, some were persuading Mrs. Qi, some were worried, and some were asking the woman in military uniform, asking when the male in the woman's family would come back.

The woman in military uniform glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Don't be afraid, big guys, they said before they left the city that they would come back in ten days, no matter who came back, no matter who came back, and who couldn't come back, we had to wait enough for these ten days, I believe that as long as one person is still alive, they will definitely come back to report the news." All of us here are relatives, and we are and will be in the future, so we will be able to overcome this difficult time by protecting and supporting each other. ”

Everyone nodded, this woman in uniform is already the backbone of everyone, what the woman in uniform said at this moment, what is everyone's lunch. The fierce battle for days has made these people tired, and if it weren't for the constant encouragement of the women in military uniform, perhaps this city would have fallen into the hands of the grass sea guerrillas.

"Madam, a few days ago, the city took in the fleeing people, and they said that most of the capital was occupied by others, and the entire Shiyan Mansion was ruined by those bad people except for us. Madam, are you saying it's true, if that's the case, then Lord Cheng, aren't they very dangerous? A woman asked worriedly.

"Whether it's true or not, we can't panic, I believe in Ji Cheng, and you should also believe in your husband.
