"Hey, hey!" Bai Jiuyue gently shook Ye Yuhui to wake her up from her sleep, in fact, most of the time, Bai Jiuyue called Ye Yuhui, just "Hey", only very rarely, joking with her, or something else, he would call her "little princess".

Ye Yuyi rubbed her sleepy eyes, and asked in a milky voice, "Ah Yue, what's wrong?" ”

Different from Bai Jiuyue, Ye Yuhui has always called Bai Jiujiu "Ah Yue", not September, at first glance, most people will think that the name Ah Yue is a girl's name, in fact, Bai Jiujiu also thinks that this is a girl's name, but he has always asked Ye Yuhui to call him like this, and has never corrected it.

"Hurry up." Bai Jiujiu looked a little anxious.

"What's wrong?" Ye Yuxuan got up from the bed, hurriedly put on his boots, and then looked outside.

It's fire! Through the thin window paper, Ye Yuhui also saw the grand fire outside, like ...... An unprecedented sacrifice is being held.

The sound of shouting and killing, although it was not obvious, still reached Ye Yuxuan's ears with the night wind.

"What's going on?!" Ye Yuxuan asked again, this time, she also had a worried expression on her face.

"I don't know," Bai Jiu simply bent down again, directly helped Ye Yuhui put on her boots, and then grabbed her hand and asked, "No matter what, it must not be a good thing, let's go first, it's dangerous here." ”

Ye Yuxuan nodded lightly, grabbed his clothes and put them on, and trotted out with Bai Jiu's pace.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into the old man who was also dressed up, and the old man was also standing in the middle of the courtyard with a puzzled face, looking in the direction of the fire, his ears were not good, and the shouts and wails in the wind were not real, this time he woke up, it was just an accident.

The old man's sleep quality has not been very good, and it is common to wake up at night, but this time he woke up and saw a fire outside the window, so he put on his clothes and came out to check.

The old man turned his head and saw Bai Jiu and Ye Yuxuan, and hurriedly asked, "You two, do you know what you're doing over there?" Why is it so bright? It's still so lively, is it that the village has begun to carry out sacrifices? ”

It seems that the old man took those subtle shouts of killing as the shouts and cheers of the villagers.

As he spoke, the old man muttered to himself, "But there doesn't seem to be anything to sacrifice during this time, besides, why didn't anyone inform me of the sacrifice?" ”

"Old man," Bai Jiujiu's face was solemn, "I think...... It's a rogue village. ”

"Rogues?!" The old man's face turned pale, but he still couldn't believe it, so he said, "I heard that those rogues are not all north of the Chijiang River?" How did you come to Xuzhou?! ”

"In any case, it's not safe here," Bai Jiuyi grabbed the old man and said, "Come with us first!" Look outside the village for a while. ”

For the sake of the old man for himself and Ye Yuxuan, it is better to take him with him, otherwise, Bai Jiujiu plans to leave directly, whether these people are dead or alive has nothing to do with him.

The old man frowned, looked left and right, and finally nodded, and said, "Okay, I'll go out with you." ”

So Bai Jiuyue led them to run in the opposite direction to the firelight, Bai Jiuyue pulled Ye Yuxuan, and the old man followed behind Ye Yuxuan.

After running for a while, the old man looked at the small village that was still sleeping, and suddenly muttered, "No...... If it's really a rogue

Isn't it the end of those who haven't woken up? ”

"I ...... I need to wake them up. The old man stopped suddenly, and was about to knock on the door of a house.

Bai Jiuyue's voice came from his ears again, "Old man, it's too much time for you to wake them up one by one, don't say it's them when the time comes, even if it's us, we may not be able to run away." ”

"No, no," the old man shook his head, "they've all been my neighbors for many years, and I can't let them die here." ”

Bai Jiu sighed and said, "We won't help you, we will only give you one piece of advice, if you knock on the door, you will call at most twice, you must leave, go to the next family, whether that family opens the door for you or not, it is the same, if you wait for them to get up one by one, and then explain the reason to you, then you can wake up at most five families, and you will die here with them." ”

After speaking, Bai Jiujiu left with Ye Yuhui without looking back, Ye Yuhui turned his head and looked at the rickety old man, the old man said thank you to them, and began to knock on the door of his house, waking up his neighbors for many years from sleep one by one.

Ye Yuxuan turned her head and followed Bai Jiu with a pale face, she knew that the old man was going to die here tonight.

......

To the north of the village, where the gang of rogues appeared.

The rogues wear turbans, but the color is not uniform, except for red, almost every color of turbans on their heads, blue, black, yellow, and even purple, if you look closely, you will find that those who wear purple turbans, their headscarves, seem to be part of the women's dresses, but they are rudely torn off and used as headscarves.

This group of people is one of several more powerful rebel armies, the Great God Army.

They are strong, but they are also the most notorious rebel army, in fact, it should be said that they are the real rogues, they never take the initiative to confront the government, they burn and loot all the way, and will only choose those small villages, or weak towns, counties.

Whenever they went, after emptying the goods and food there, they would set a fire to the ground when they left.

This group of rogues is no more than 100 people, because a few days ago they encountered the official army, the team was scattered, there was no way, only to cross the Chijiang River, over the Qingjiao Mountain, came here, after a few days in the mountains, they were already hungry, and now when they see a small village, of course they will start.

A burly man grabbed a woman by the hair from the house and dragged her all the way to the yard, no matter how much the woman wailed, the man remained indifferent, and there was never a trace of expression on his face.

And in the house, her man had already been stabbed in the heart.

"Here it is." The man looked at the unkempt woman in disgust, kicked her away, and then went on to the next house without looking back, and behind him, his men, while saying words of thanks, pounced on her like a hyena and tore the woman's profane clothes piece by piece.

Unlike the others, this man did not wear a turban or shoulder badge, but he was wearing a light rattan armor, to be precise, an iron rattan armor from Yunzhou.

The man's name is Lu Fang, full of evil, less than thirty years old, he did all the bad things, half a year ago, he killed all four members of a family because of a trivial matter, and was killed by the government

Wanted, and when he was arrested, he was actually drunk in a tavern, and now he should have been waiting to die in the big prison in that small county town, but four months ago, the Great God Army broke through that small county town, released all the prisoners in the big prison, and recruited most of the prisoners, especially death row prisoners, into his command, and Lu Fang was one of them.

Now, he is a centurion of the Great God Army, and in the near future he should be the "general" who commands a thousand people.

Lu Fang strolled forward with a halberd, leisurely like a traveler walking in the village.

If there was no blood on him.

His men followed him excitedly, waving their weapons and shouting, and every time they passed a house where no one had entered, three or four people left the group, shouting and kicking open the door of that house, and then killing the old men and women of that house, leaving only the women, and those women were going to die in the end.

I have to find someone who looks like a big family, Lu Fang thought to himself, don't need these subordinates who are in the way, kill the men of that family by himself, and then leave those women behind, and enjoy the wine and food slowly.

This is his favorite thing to do, break into a large family, kill all the men of that family, strip the women of that family and make them kneel on the ground, looking at the corpses of his men, and Lu Fang sits on those women, using them as stools, listening to their whimpering and wailing, while laughing, drinking and eating meat.

Perverted to the extreme.

Suddenly, a small fenced courtyard caught his eye, probably the largest in the village.

Lu Fang sneered, slowly pushed away the fragile wooden fence, and then walked in lightly, naturally looking like the male owner of this family who returned late.

When he walked in, he found that the doors of the two rooms were open, and when he entered the main room, he glanced at it casually, and then walked out with a calm face, and then walked to the side room.

As soon as he entered the door, he was stunned, and as soon as he entered the door, he smelled a breath that only belonged to a girl, and ...... A slight sour smell of sweat. He hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the quilt to touch it, but it was still warm, indicating that the person had just left and could not run far.

Lu Fang laughed and rushed out of the door, yelling, "A few people!" Follow me after those who have run away! ”

"Yes!"

Since it is an escape, it will definitely choose the opposite direction to the firelight, so it should be south, and they should be...... There were three people, one of whom was a girl, and there were no horses or anything like that in this village, because Lu Fang had not smelled horse manure or horse scars since he entered the village.

No matter where they run, a stick of incense will definitely catch up!

......

Up to now, the old man only knocked on the doors of three houses, and each of them was scolding and scolding, and some of them were grumpy, and directly told the old man to get out, but the old man still refused to let go, and knocked until they came to open the door, and then pointed to the fire in the north, and told them that there were rogues in the village.

The reactions of the crowd were different, some were skeptical, some panicked immediately, went back to the house to wake up their families, packed up the gold and silver, and ran away without looking back, and some people didn't even care about collecting things, only woke up their families, put on their shoes, and ran away.

The old man looked up to the north, the fire had not yet reached this side, and there were still many people who had not woken up.

Fortunately, there is still some time, the old man thought to himself, he will die with an old bone, as long as those people in the village can escape, it will be enough.
