Chapter Thirty-Eight: Purgatory on Earth, Beasts Are Rampant

Liaodong is prosperous, and Liaoxi is withering!

Along the way, what I have heard and seen can be described as shocking!

The five of them stopped by the official road, looking at the mass grave more than ten paces away in front of them with mixed feelings.

In sight, a little girl in ragged clothes and yellow muscles was diligently digging a newly piled grave. The little girl's nails had cracked in many places from the long excavation, and blood was constantly oozing from between her nails, and she kept digging as if she were completely unconscious.

After a long time!

A corner of the straw mat peeked out of the soil, and the stench of decomposing corpses came to my face.

The little girl was forced to get up, took a deep breath, held her breath, and squatted down again, she increased the speed of digging until she dug up the whole body buried in the soil, and she stopped. Ignoring the pungent smell of the corpse, she lifted the straw mat that wrapped the corpse with both hands, and then took off the clothes from the corpse as quickly as she could, shaking off the dirt from the clothes, and then she quickly put it on her own body. Then she straightened up and looked around, and after choosing a new target, she quickly ran over again, repeating what she had just done.

After the little girl left, several crows landed on the grave, pecking at the carrion on the corpse and making a piercing cry from time to time.

In this unknown mass grave, where crows are swarmed and bones are strewn all over the place, many children about the same age as the little girl are doing the same thing, hoping to have a warm clothing before winter comes.

Since he stepped into Liaoxi, Li Yang's worldview has collapsed, the world is not beautiful, natural disasters, man-made disasters, epidemics, are constantly corroding the foundation of the Han Dynasty!

The country looks forward to the strong, and the people are more heroic!

Looking at the scene in front of him, Li Yang sighed helplessly: "Time is running out!" ”

"Is there anything else to eat?" asked Li Yang.

Li Hu rolled his eyes, bent down and patted his sore thighs, and said, "The donkeys are gone, my brother!" ”

Along the way, Li Yang was kind-hearted, walked all the way, sent all the way, finished the grain, sent copper coins, sent copper coins, sent clothes, and finished sending clothes, and began to unload and kill donkeys.

Fortunately, Li Yang still had a trace of sanity and left the tent and bedding, otherwise, they would have to sleep in the wilderness!

In just ten days, a group of five people changed from a rich son to a penniless poor bastard!

Recalls the sentence of frustration: The eldest son's character is valuable, and he is very comparable.

Now that I think about it, it does make sense, just in terms of the speed of the loser, ordinary people really can't compare with it!

"Gently I go, just as I come gently, I wave my sleeves, and I don't take a cloud with me!" , Li Yang sighed helplessly, tilted his head to the side, didn't see anything, waved his big hand, and beckoned everyone to continue on his way!

Li Hu said depressedly: "Brother, stop dragging words, think of a way to find some food, we have been hungry for a day!" ”

As soon as Li Hu's words fell, he suddenly heard a tiger roar in front of him!

Li Yang shivered and exclaimed: "Above the official road, how can there be fierce tigers.... This... This... Will not the heavens kill me? ”

As soon as Li Yang's words fell, he saw a majestic white-fronted tiger walking towards him.

"Run!" , Li Yang had the heart to remind the little girl a few words, but he never thought that the mass grave was already empty!

Li Yang looked around, but saw that the surroundings were already empty, and there were only five people in the line, so he said embarrassedly: "This young man, run fast!" ”

The tiger slowly moved forward, the distance between the two sides was less than fifty steps, at this distance, the tiger arrived in an instant, and a group of five people had lost the best opportunity to escape!

The five of them still have two options, either to die or to resist.

The answer is obvious, as long as you are not an idiot, you will choose the latter!

"In the face of the tiger, you can only outwit, not be able to defeat it...", Li Yang took a long breath, searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, recalled the memories of his previous life, and said in a trembling voice: "You must not turn your back on the tiger, you should face the enemy head-on, you can't turn around and run away, or ... Roar at it, if you can scare it away... Or can it be life-saving? ”

"Is this possible?" , Li Yang muttered to himself: "Maybe... Dead horses as live horse doctors? ”

When he met a tiger on the road, Li Yang was frightened inexplicably, talking nonsense, and he was already out of order!

was hesitating, but saw Li Hu hook his fingers at the fierce tiger, and said provocatively: "You.... Come here! ”

"Steal my lines?". Li Yang followed the prestige, but saw that Li Hu's eyes were firm, and there was no intention in his eyes.

In the face of the tiger, Li Hu suddenly became interested, pointed directly at the tiger, and kept shouting: "Today is either you die or I die!" ”

"The master kills you like a bag to get something, it's easy, and you can catch it!"

Li Yang looked at Li Hu who was talking nonsense like an idiot with a confused expression, and he didn't know what to say!

"Xiaohu is a little overconfident, right?" , Li Yang's face was cloudy, and he didn't know whether to believe Li Hu or not!

Looking at Li Hu, who was determined, thinking of the mental journey he had traveled in the past three years, two movie lines came to Li Yang's mind: Three years... Three-year ..... Do you know how I got through these three years? Do you know?

Three years... I endured it for three years, just to wait for a chance, I want to fight for a breath, not to prove how great I am, I want to tell others that what I lost, I must get it back!

Han Bao stepped forward with a sword and stood side by side with Li Hu!

You are crazy, you are crazy, you are crazy, the tiger goes, the leopard will follow, the heaven and the earth can be learned, and there is no regret in death!

Wang Liang was still relatively sober, he pulled Li Yang's sleeve, and said urgently: "Son, go first, I'll stop myself!" ”

Red eyebrows tightened the hand holding the knife, and swore to advance and retreat with Wang Liang!

Looking at the loyal and brave Wang Liang, Li Yang was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to drill in!

Wang Liang is still like this, but Li Yang is thinking about running away, wanting to ignore the tiger and leopard, compared with the two, it seems that Li Yang is very cowardly and unbearable.

Li Yang's actions are really human nature, and in his inherent impression, the hero of fighting tigers only exists in the small talk book.

In reality, humans and tigers are not at all on the same order of magnitude, and there is no comparison between the two!

In the eyes of others, the tiger is the king of all beasts, and human beings are so small in front of them.

But in Li Hu's eyes, the tiger is no different from a cat or a puppy, it's just a meal for his own stomach!

Li Hu turned a deaf ear to Wang Liang's words, faced the tiger coming slowly, turned his back to Li Yang and the others, and shouted: "Take the sword, don't take advantage of the sword." Brother, wait for a while, wait for me to kill the tiger, and satisfy your hunger! ”

The red eyebrows, who had never said a word, hurriedly stepped forward and handed the Hundred Refining Steel Knife to Li Hu!

Li Hu held a knife in his right hand, and gently wiped his left hand from the blade, and said, "Good knife!" ”

The red eyebrows untied the carved bow tied behind him, opened the bow and set up arrows, and swept the battle for Li Hu!

Li Hu is not a reckless person, and when he is about to fight, he still does not forget to change the weapon he has in hand!

Li Hu is tenacious and persevering, and although he has been defeated repeatedly, he has never been discouraged.

Through repeated competitions with Gongsun Xu and Zhao Yun, Li Hu realized his own martial arts, indomitable momentum, and the spiritual quality of the sword when he meets the enemy.

In the fifth year of Guanghe (182 A.D.), on the fifteenth day of the ninth month, in the evening.

Li Hu, who was thirteen years old at the time, was about to complete a great feat, and after today, Li Hu will cross the dragon gate and soar into the sky, and he will never taste defeat in his life!

In the face of the indomitable Li Hu, the white-fronted tiger finally stopped moving forward, prostrate on the ground, and quietly observed Li Hu's every move!

Li Hu put the steel knife across his chest, bowed slightly, bent his knees, and moved forward firmly, without fear!

When the two were about to die, the white-fronted tiger suddenly felt the pressure doubled, and began to slowly retreat, roaring incessantly!

Looking at Li Hu's unwavering back, Li Yang clenched his fists and said excitedly: "Give it a go, don't think too much, you and my brothers, life and death will not abandon each other!" ”

At the critical moment, Li Yang mustered up his courage and decided to advance and retreat together with Li Hu, living and dying together!

As soon as Li Yang's voice fell, he saw that Chimei was the first to move, he saw the right time, suddenly launched a cold arrow, and the feather arrow roared out with the sound of breaking the wind, and went straight to the door of the tiger!

At the same time, Li Hu and the Hanging Eyes Tiger exerted their strength at the same time, the Tiger suddenly jumped up, avoiding the whistling feather arrows, and Li Hu ran wildly, heading straight to the Hanging Eyes Tiger with an unstable foothold!

With a snort, Li Hu raised the steel knife high, choosing to face the tiger head-on, and the steel knife slashed at the eye-catching tiger head-on with a huge wind-breaking sound!

In the face of Li Hu's powerful and sinking knife, the Hanging Eye Tiger made an extremely wise choice, avoiding its edge and waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow!

One hit missed.

Just as the two tigers staggered by, Li Hu held the knife in his backhand, swung the knife upward, the tip of the knife slashed through the tiger's neck, and blood gushed out!

After a scream, the tiger fell!

Li Hu carried the knife on his shoulder, his eyes were full of arrogance, looking at the dying white-fronted tiger, raising his eyebrows slightly, and not forgetting to say sarcastically: "But Er'er!"

Li Hu's old mistake is committed again, whenever he is in battle, Li Hu always likes to ridicule the other party a few words, and it is just like this to people, but he never thought that he would not even let go of a livestock!

Li Yang and the others stepped forward one after another, looking at the hanging tiger who was wailing, and then looked at Li Hu, who was carrying a knife on his shoulder and looking arrogant, the four of them could not hide their excitement, and they were all shocked!

Thirteen-year-old Li Hu, killing the tiger alone, this is something that can be blown for a lifetime!

Li Yang looked at Li Hu with a concerned face and said, "Have you ever been injured?"

Li Hu twisted his waist and said with a big grin: "It's just a kitten, how can you hurt me?" ”

Han Bao palpitated and said: "The lion fights the rabbit, and he still uses all his strength, let alone the tiger?" Self-confidence is a good thing, but when you are in battle, you must not be careless, and don't overturn the boat in the gutter! ”

Wang Liang nodded approvingly!

The taciturn red eyebrows looked at Li Hu silently, and secretly said: "Isn't this person flesh and blood?" What a god! ”

Li Hu stretched out his hand and pointed to the dying tiger, and said pitifully: "Hungry!" ”

"It's skilled, but it's still a child's heart!" , Li Yang patted Li Hu's head with a doting face, and said, "You and Wang Liang went to find some dead branches nearby, and today we will open meat and taste tiger meat, what is the taste!" ”

Half an hour later!

The five of them sat around the campfire, eating undelicious tiger meat and saying unnutritious things.

Li Hu smashed his mouth, pouted, and said: "Tiger meat is too thin, stuffed teeth, and it's not delicious!" ”

The red eyebrows nodded again and again, and echoed: "What the third prince said is extremely true!"

Li Yang pointed at Li Hu and scolded with a smile: "It's your kid who eats the most!" ”

Li Hu patted his slightly bulging little belly and said with a smile: "Brother is so skilled, I didn't hold back for a while, so I ate more!" ”

His family knows his own affairs, how Li Yang's craftsmanship is, he knows it in his heart, tiger meat sounds very bluffing, but it is not delicious, the skin is rough and the meat is thick, it is not chewable, it is not delicious, if he is not hungry all day, Li Hu is afraid that he will not even bother to look at it, let alone eat it!

Li Yang stretched out his hand into his arms, took the seal ribbon that Li Man handed over to him in his hand, and after playing with it for a long time, he sighed slightly: "Go to Yangle County tomorrow, hand over the worship post to the Taishou Mansion, and find the Mansion Jun to borrow some plates!"

Li Hu shook his head like a rattle, and persuaded: "Liaoxi Taishou, surnamed Zhao, named Bao, is the younger brother of Zhao Zhong, we should not be very close to him, so as not to fall into the tongue and burden the family with shame!" ”

Li Yang frowned slightly, and said, "It is said... Zhao Bao is ashamed to be with Zhao Zhong. is an official side, known as a clear name......"

"Rumors may not be credible!" , Li Hu squinted and said: "Zhao Bao was born in a poor family, if it weren't for Zhao Zhong's help, how could he lead the land of western Liaoning?" ”

"Xiaohu is reasonable...", Li Yang bowed slightly, and said: "I didn't think about my brother and almost made a big mistake, but fortunately Xiaohu reminded me that I could escape the catastrophe, Xiaohu's father, future achievements are limitless!" ”

"The elder brother is a noble person, and it is difficult for those who are idle to enter the eyes of the elder brother. Now this decision is really for our sake! Brother works hard, Xiaohu saves! Li Hu said a fair word.

"When you go out to travel, you should have the appearance of going out to travel, my brother often says, you should suffer as soon as possible, you will know when you go out, the world is difficult, and now you have to suffer some hardships, it is not a bad thing, you should experience life!" , Han Bao said softly!

Li Yang wiped his face fiercely and sighed: "If you have to suffer hard, you will become a master, my brother has such ambition, and I am happy for my brother!" Stop borrowing money! ”

Haw Par said in unison: "It should be so!"

"Brother, I want to go to Penglai and go to Zilong's three-year appointment!"

Li Yang said with a smile: "This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, Zhuo County is in front of us, we will go to Zhuo County first, and after a short rest in Zhuo County, it is not too late to go to the appointment!"

Li Hu nodded, there is no doubt that there is him, anyway, he will stop by and go to rest and recuperate, there is nothing wrong with it!

Han Leopard is a ghost, he heard a little unusual taste from Li Yang's words, he frowned, and said in his heart: "Zhuojun is in front of you?" What does this mean? ”

In the middle of Zhuojun and Liaoxi, separated by Youbeiping and Yuyang Counties, Li Yang wanted to go to Zhuojun to meet Zhang Sanye, who would be called ten thousand enemies in the history books, so he said the wrong thing!

Han Leopard is sensitive by nature and always likes to think crankily when encountering problems!

Looking at Han Leopard, who frowned slightly, Li Yang knew that he was speechless, so he hurriedly made up for himself: "The last time I entered Beijing, I passed through Zhuo County, and met bandits on the road. ”

Every time the Son of Heaven is born, Li Man has to bring his son to Beijing, congratulate the Son of Heaven on his birthday, and state his duties to him, to put it bluntly, to report the work situation!

Li Yang's words, half-truths and half-falsehoods, entering Beijing is true, and friends are false!

Li Yang had already secretly made up his mind that when he went to Zhuo County, he would definitely put the third master into the cyst, and if necessary, he could do it again...... Lick the dog!

Han Bao bowed his head silently, and after believing Li Yang's words, he had a hunch in his heart that the trip to Zhuojun was by no means as simple as Li Yang said!
