Chapter 1232: Escapism
The book is picked up again.
"We were deceived by those thieves, and the family we waited for was not taken captive by them at all, but... It's ......"
Speaking of this, the old man couldn't cry anymore, "but he was killed directly and buried in the home where I was waiting!" Woowoo woo ......"
"Impossible! That's impossible!!! After hearing the old man's words, one of them couldn't stand the blow and shouted frantically: "Didn't those people say?!"
As long as I listen to him honestly, I will let my family go!!
My family must be waiting in a safe place now, waiting for me to be saved! Right! It must be so!! ”
After saying this, he crawled to the old man's side, grabbed him by the placket of his clothes, and shouted, "Tell me! You're kidding, right? Tell me...! Woowoo woo ......"
When it came to the end, this man couldn't help but cover his face and cry,
In fact, he also knew in his heart that his family might have suffered misfortune, but he really couldn't accept this fact!
Thinking about the harmony of the past, and then thinking about the lonely shadow now, he completely collapsed!
The others were no better than this one, and as soon as they came to their senses, they began to cry out with grief and indignation, and several of them lay on the ground and wept like the man just now.
"Alas......" Li Zhi looked at this chaotic scene, and after a long sigh, he said to Cao Cao: "Brother Mengde, I'll take them to their homes to have a look." ”
Although Li Zhi also knows that this practice is very cruel, the reality is the reality, and even if these people escape again, it has become a foregone conclusion.
Moreover, although Li Zhi sympathizes with these people, no matter what, these people have made big mistakes!
Therefore, Li Zhi must be ruthless to defeat the will of these people, and then find a way to find out more information about the enemy.
And the best way to break a man's will is to destroy the love of his heart, and extinguish all his hopes, so that he will fall into despair!
And these people can betray Cao Cao for the sake of their families, which proves that they value their families very much?
So, just let them know that after their families are all dead, they will definitely collapse!
When the time comes, as long as Li Zhi asks casually, they will inevitably honestly explain the cause and effect of the matter.
"It's fine." When Cao Cao heard this, he nodded after thinking for a while.
Although he also sympathizes with these people, he is not without fire in his heart!
After all, these people betrayed him!
While they deserve sympathy, they are unforgivable!
Seeing that Cao Cao agreed, Li Zhi waved his hand and ordered to the soldiers: "Someone will escort these people to their mansion." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Zhi took Cao Cao to the outside.
After arriving at the gate, Li Zhiluo hesitated for a moment, and then instructed Yang Ying, who was guarding the gate: "Boxiong, you leave three hundred people to watch the city gate, and take two hundred people to follow Benhou." ”
Li Zhi was frightened by this incident, he was afraid that the two hundred people in his hands would not be able to protect Cao Cao's safety, so he asked Yang Ying to bring two hundred more people, so that even if they faced more than 10,000 enemies, they could escape.
"......" Cao Cao heard Li Zhi's words
After speaking, he opened his mouth, but finally said something.
Although he always felt that Li Zhi was a little too fussy, he couldn't live up to Li Zhi's kindness.
"No!" After Yang Ying answered, he selected two hundred elites to follow Li Zhi.
After they came to a mansion, Li Zhi asked the old man, "Old man, is this your house?" ”
"That's right" The old man nodded anxiously, and said: "Luoyang Hou, you quickly let people let go of the old man, and the old man will open the door for you, the old man is an old man who has no fists and no courage, and he will definitely not be able to run." ”
If he hadn't been escorted by the soldiers, he would have run home to find his family by now.
To be honest, he was in a very nervous mood right now, on the one hand, he knew that once he entered this door, he would probably find his long-dead family member, and thus fall into complete despair!
On the other hand, he held on to the hope of what if, what if Li Zhi guessed wrong? What if the enemy did not act with kindness?
Although he also knew that it was really unwise to pin the life and death of his family on the goodness of the enemy's heart!
But people always have to have hope to live, and if there is no hope, what is the difference between it and the walking dead?
Therefore, the old man had a fervent hope that he would not be able to find the bones of his family after searching through his home.
"......" looked at the old man with a face full of hope, Li Zhi was silent, he really didn't want to break the old man's illusion, but the facts are the facts!
So, after a sigh, he waved his hand and said, "Let him go." ”
After the soldiers answered, they immediately let go of the old man.
After regaining his freedom, the old man did not hesitate, and came to the gate in three steps and two steps, took out a key from his waist, and inserted it into the keyhole with a trembling hand.
I don't know what's going on, maybe his hands are trembling too much, anyway, he didn't insert it into the keyhole three or four times.
"Let Benhou come." Looking at the old man trembling all over, Li Zhi couldn't bear it, so he came to the old man's side, grabbed the key and opened the lock.
"......" looked at the unlocked lock, the old man was dumbfounded, he really didn't dare to push open the door in front of him at this time!
Because behind the gate there may be hope, but more likely than hope!
"Alas......" Seeing this, Li Zhi sighed, took a step forward and pushed open the door, and then strode inside.
And the others also followed Li Zhi's brisk walk, and even the old man who was in a daze came back to his senses at this time, gritted his teeth, and his heart was crossed, and he lowered his head and followed Li Zhi to the inside.
When they came to the old man's mansion, they found that it was very eerie and terrifying, because there was not even a single person in the mansion of Nuoda, and there were dead branches and leaves everywhere, which showed that it had not been cleaned for a long time.
After looking around for a week, Li Zhi didn't find anything strange, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Search!" Search the entire mansion, especially the soft ground, and dig it all up! ”
"No!" After Yang Ying answered, he led a hundred and ten people to search everywhere in this mansion.
Li Zhi saw that they were searching, and he was not idle, and walked slowly in this garden covering an area of about seven or eight acres.
Although it was early spring and the weather was still quite cold, it was
There are countless stubborn grasses that have begun to slowly break through the ground and embrace the sun.
Although most of the vegetation in this garden has not recovered, there are three or two points of greenery on the ground, which looks very comfortable.
If it weren't for the fact that this garden hadn't been repaired for a long time, it would have been a great place to visit!
"Huh?" After Li Zhi took two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at the ground with a frown.
Because when he walked to a corner, he suddenly found that there were no weeds in the corner!
That's not right!
You know, the corner itself is sheltered from the wind and the sun, and it can be said that the whole garden is the warmest here.
Ordinarily. The grass here should be more lush than in other places, but there is no grass here!
Seeing this, after thinking for a while, Li Zhi suddenly thought of a possibility, his face changed, and he shouted loudly to Yang Ying, who was searching everywhere in the distance: "Boxiong, bring someone here!! ”
After hearing Li Zhi's shout, Yang Ying did not hesitate, and immediately ran here with people, even Cao Cao also came here, and asked Li Zhi, "Brother Xingzhi, but what did you find?" ”
"Hmm" Li Zhi frowned and nodded, stepped on the soil underground, and said, "Brother Meng De, you see, although it is the warmest here, there is not a single weed sprouting.
Besides, the soil here is softer than anywhere else, so it can be seen that this place must have been turned over! ”
"Bang!" After hearing Li Zhi's words, before Cao Cao could react, the old man knelt on the ground with a thud, stared at his red eyes, and desperately picked up the soil on the ground with his hands. Definitely not! ”
However, after he had cut at a depth of about two feet, he suddenly stopped, because there was a bright cloth exposed!
At this time, the old man's face was pale and trembling, and he didn't even care if his saliva came out.
He recognized the brightly colored cloth!
This is exactly the cloth on his well-behaved granddaughter's clothes!
The reason why he remembered it so clearly was because this piece of cloth was the silk that Cao Cao rewarded him!
At first, his granddaughter liked the patterns on the silk, so he asked the tailor to make a dress for his granddaughter, so he was impressed.
However, at this time, he wished that he had lost his memory!
Because, if this is really the clothes on his granddaughter's body, then isn't his granddaughter......
After thinking of this, the old man sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the bright silk in front of him and speechless.
"Alas......" Cao Cao and Li Zhi sighed at the same time when they saw the old man's expression.
After seeing the old man's expression, how could they not understand that the old man's family must be buried here!
Then, Li Zhi waved his hand at Yang Ying, who rushed over, and said, "Boxiong, dig up this place." ”
"Don't !! Move" After the old man heard Li Zhi's order, he suddenly came back to his senses, jumped up as if he was crazy, stared at Li Zhi and Yang Ying, and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to mess with the old man will fight with him!! ”
Although this old man was just a literati, at this time he was like a lion, and he actually frightened Yang Ying for a while.
"......" Li Zhi looked at the old man's crazy expression, and after being silent for a while, he said, "......"
