Chapter 179: Wait for me
The moonlight was like water, washing the blood, flesh, and darkness on the ground.
The flames in the courtyard were still burning, and the corpse in the middle of the flames was already charred black, and at this moment, I am afraid that even if Deng Maoqi came in person, he would definitely not be able to identify who the original owner of this corpse was.
"Strategist, no, Chen Jianhu said before that he would wait for us in the land temple at the entrance of the village!" After Shi Xing finished saying this, he gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and stretched his hands flat in front of his chest.
Ye Xiba's lightning shot flew past Shi Xing's wrist.
"Ahh Shi Xing crouched down in pain, and tears poured out of his eyes involuntarily.
He knew that since then, he had become a waste......
"Your hands, if you take care of them in the future, you may be able to carry some light objects, but-" Ye Xiba said this, and casually pulled out the scabbard on Shi Xing's waist and threw it into the flames behind him: "If you want to hold the knife again, it's impossible." ”
Shi Xing was originally a gangster in the countryside, and since he was a child, he relied on a pair of fists to eat, ploughing the fields, farming, reading and literacy, which seemed to him to be incredible.
Since then, however, he has not even been able to lift a knife......
How do I go about mixing rice? Do you want to go down to the streets and compete with beggars for food?
The more Shi Xing thought about it, the more frightened he felt, and he suddenly realized that he didn't have the slightest way to make a living!
No, I have to find a way to tell the military advisor in advance, and then escape, the military advisor is well-informed and has read, he will definitely be able to help me!
Ye Xiba casually wiped the blood stain on the palm of his hand, and then rolled up the corner of his clothes, and carefully wiped the iron long stick with the handle.
After doing all this, he turned around, his eyes swept over the mother and son who were standing timidly in the corner of the courtyard, strode towards the door, and said coldly: "Let's go." ”
Shi Xing supported the ground with his elbows, stood up, and followed behind Ye Xiba with a sad face.
Ye Xiba walked to the door of the house, gently pushed the door open, and was about to take a step, but heard a woman's call from behind him: "Lord Ye......"
Ye Xiba just squinted his eyes, and continued to walk forward as if he had not heard of it.
"Your Excellency!" Lin Niang trotted over.
Ye Xiba heard the voice behind him getting closer and closer, so he frowned and stopped, he didn't even look back and said impatiently: "These people have done something wrong, I have already killed them, what are you looking for me to do?" As for Shi Xing, since I have already abolished his hands, if Chen Jianhu is really in the Land Temple, I will let him live. ”
"Lord Ye!" Lin Niang dragged her son's palm, and ran behind Ye Xiba in disheveled clothes, she first raised her eyes and glanced at Shi Xing, who was speechless, before she cried and said: "The slave family doesn't ask you to kill people......
"Then what do you call me to do?" Ye Xiba turned around and looked sideways at the woman in front of him.
Only now did he have the time to look at this handsome widow.
Lin Niang is about thirty-five years old, although she is not young, but her figure is enchanting, because she is not tall, and she has a round face, so at a glance her appearance is not like her actual age, but like a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old woman.
"My lord, the slave family was originally an orphan and a widow who lived here, and they made a living by making some needlework for people on weekdays, but now they ......" Lin Niang said this, her voice weakened, and the whole person sobbed: "Lin Niang's house is full of dead bodies, and there is nowhere to go, Lord Ye, you are a good person......
"Huh?" Ye Xiba This is the first time he has heard others evaluate the word "good man" for him, and he obviously turned his head sideways a little uncomfortably.
"The slave family is willing to follow the adult, make cattle and horses for you, and ask the adult to ......"
Ye Xibayi frowned, interrupted Lin Niang's words, and asked coldly, "You want to follow me?" ”
As soon as Lin Niang saw Ye Xiba's expression turn cold, she couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart anymore, her tears continued to drip like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't cry and said: "Now that there is chaos outside, the slave family has no place to go, please don't dislike it, please don't dislike ......it."
"That's enough." Ye Xiba was annoyed by her crying, so she waved her hand: "I don't know where I'm going, what's the use of you following me!" ”
"Your Excellency!" Lin Niang suddenly fell to the ground with a pop, and then raised her hand and pulled the sluggish children to the ground and knelt in a row, begging: "The mother and son of the slave family only want to have a way to live......
Ye Xiba shook his head indifferently, ignored the woman's entanglement, and walked out of the door.
Ye Xiba and Shi Xing walked farther and farther, and the crying in their ears became farther and farther away......
He knew in his heart that in fact, the reason why Lin Niang was willing to be a cow and a horse for him was indeed without any choice.
Since the Deng Maoqi Incident, Shaxian County has been used as the base camp of the rebels, and they are full of rags and people in the rivers and lakes, and their mother and son have been humiliated in the past.
But even so, there are still some basic rules here, which can make the surrounding people have a livelihood, and the life of Linniang's mother and son can still go on.
Later, Lin Niang found Wu Du as a backer, and she lived a good life for half a year, but Wu Du died at the hands of Chen Jianhu......
Now Deng Maoqi's army has retreated to the east, and the next ones who will pass through here are either officers and soldiers, or rogues......
The helpless mother and son, living in a room full of corpses, greet the unknown coming.
Or, before their mother and son starve to death...... No one will ever pass by here.
Ye Xiba paused, then took two steps forward again, and then stopped again.
Shi Xing saw Ye Xiba, who was walking in front, taking two steps and stopping one step, he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, he was about to ask, but saw Ye Xiba turn around suddenly.
Ye Xiba glanced at Shi Xing coldly, and then strode in the direction of going back.
Shi Xing stopped in place, looking at Ye Xiba, who was getting farther and farther away, and wanted to escape, but he didn't dare in his heart.
However, Ye Xiba seemed to have forgotten him, and walked farther and farther, until he came to the mother and son who were still kneeling on the ground in the distance.
"Your Excellency!" Lin Niang raised her head, wiped the tears on her cheeks, and looked at the man in front of her with a longing face.
Ye Xiba opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but then gave up again.
In the end, he hesitated for a long time before he said, "You can follow me for the time being, and when you reach a safe place, you can take the child to fend for yourself......
After Ye Xiba finished saying this, it was as if a big stone had been removed from his heart.
He exhaled softly, and just turned around, but suddenly found that Shi Xing was not following him!
"Wait for me!" Ye Xiba didn't hesitate to drop a sentence, and then his steps were like the wind, and in a blink of an eye, he drove in the direction of the Land Temple......
