The man obviously didn't expect the captain to ask him such a question, his expression was both surprised and strange, and he replied with a reluctant voice: "She (yes), my (home) is in Li (home) Zhuangzi." How do the Da (Da) people know? "This man has a full country accent, and a few teeth are missing from his mouth, and when he speaks, he can't hold the wind and his tone is more powerful. Except for Shang Cheng, the rest of the people even frowned on Zhao Shishi. Fan Quan had just crossed Shang Cheng to give orders to a few soldiers, and now he was annoyed by his recklessness, seeing that this little soldier didn't even have a courtesy when he spoke, he just stared at Shang Cheng so directly, his heart was on fire, his eyes widened and he said in a calm voice: "Stand up!" ”

Only then did the man remember that it was a great official who asked him, and hurriedly learned the appearance of the soldiers when they talked to Shang Cheng, put their feet together, straightened their chests like chickens, and raised their arms to make a military salute, but they raised their left arms.

Seeing that the cuirass, which was obviously one size larger, hung on him like a straight shirt, the two sentry commanders couldn't help but laugh. They could now see that this man was neither a soldier nor a villager, but an ordinary farmer. Fan Quanzheng wanted to correct the man's mistake, but he felt that the ground in front of him suddenly darkened, and in a trance, he saw a black figure passing by, and when he looked at it again, Shang Cheng had already pinched his shoulders and lifted the man into the air.

"Are you from Lijiazhuang? Do you know the Fan family in the east of Zhuangzi? Let me ask you, how is the Fan family now? How is Zhuangzi? Did the Fan family escape? You say! How are they? ”

A series of questions popped out of Shang Cheng's mouth, and when he asked the last sentence, his voice was hoarse and unemphasized, as if a crack had suddenly opened in the ground, and his voice was like the howl of a beast emerging from that crack in the ground.

The man had been completely stupid with fright, and his face was pale and frightened as he stared at Shang Cheng.

The two sentinels didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly came over to hold Shang Cheng. Zhao Shishi grabbed the Zhuang Hu and shouted, "Say it quickly!" What happened to the Fan family? ”

The farmer twisted his legs, his teeth clicked, his whole body trembled like chaff, his lips were blue, but he could not say anything.

Shang Cheng took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled it to calm his emotions a little, and said to the two subordinates who were dragging his arms left and right, "I'm fine." Then he looked at the farmer and said, "Don't move the stone, help him to sit down." Big brother, don't be afraid, I am the son-in-law of the Fan family, the husband of Fan Lianniang, Fan Xiang is my wife's brother, tell me one by one, is there something wrong with the Fan family? Seeing that the man's hands and feet were still trembling, he forced himself to press the anxiety and panic in his heart and whispered, "Who has wine?" Give him two sips to suppress the shock. He asked, but his eyes stared at the man without blinking, for fear that if he blinked, the man would disappear from his presence.

There was no wine on the wall, only a few gourds of water, and Ji Zheng said: "It's okay to pour him water." Without waiting for Shang Cheng to agree, he picked up a water hyacinth on the ground, stretched out his hand and pinched the man's cheek and opened his mouth, and poured several mouthfuls on the mouth of the gourd.

The farmer was agitated by the cold water, and finally came to his senses, looked at the people around him with a white face, and finally his eyes fell on Shang Cheng, looked up and down several times, and asked in disbelief: "You...... Are you a merchant monk from Huojiabao? ”

"What nonsense are you yelling about! What a monk and a Taoist! Ji Zhengfan scolded together. This is the business captain of the C-shaped battalion, and I want to shout my lord! ”

"Yes, I'm a Shang monk!" Shang Cheng hurriedly said. He didn't care about the stunned eyes of Gu Ji Fan and the others, squatted down and tried to say to the man with a pleasant face, "I am the Shang monk of Huojiabao, the son-in-law of the Fan family in the east of Lijiazhuang, and Lianniang is my mother-in-law." Last summer, I also helped the workers in your village for a few days to grab wheat miles, and then Mr. Li Si's family started a new house, and I was also there. Big brother doesn't remember me? On the night when the fourth master stayed in the room to entertain guests, the two of us also drank together. ”

"Drinking? I don't remember. The man frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "...... Since the year Li Si and his father moved the boundary tree to occupy a ridge of land in my house, they haven't been in contact for more than ten years, how can we drink at his house? ”

Shang Cheng was speechless. He just looked at this person's face and had a vague impression, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it, what Li Jiazhuang just said casually, how did he know that this person was really Li Jiazhuang; As for what to drink and eat together, it is even more nonsense, just want to quickly inquire about the whereabouts of Lianniang and the Fan family, who knew that this person actually had such a deep grudge against the rich man who helped him, and also exposed his lies to his face, so that he could not get off the stage.

He coughed, and was about to speak, when the farmer said, "But we did drink together." It was the wine that was drunk at the seventeenth uncle's house of the Huo family, and on the day the eldest sister got married, the two of us were at the next table, and the 117th aunt was my aunt who didn't come out of five clothes. ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shang Cheng's heart was already as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he still had to speak patiently, "Big brother has a better memory than me." Let me ask you, how is our Zhuangzi now? How is the Fan family? ”

"I gave you a toast that day."

Shang Cheng said in his mouth: "I remember, the eldest brother has a good amount of alcohol, really a good amount of wine." How is the Fan family doing now? "He can't wait to strangle this guy who can't distinguish the priorities of his speech, one by one, you say it, tell me how the Fan family is!

The man was quite self-aware, waved his hand and said, "What is the amount of wine I have, my baby is only eleven ......" He muttered "My baby is only eleven", turning it over and over several times, and two lines of tears have poured out of his eyes. "I'm only eleven...... Burn, burn, Zhuangzi burned...... All dead, all dead, my baby is only eleven......"

"What about the Fan family? The old lady of the Fan family, the two of Fan Xiang, and their baby, they ......"

"It's dead, it's all dead, Zhuangzi is burning, it's all burning......"

From that night in the mountain temple heard that the Tu Yi people took the mountain road to kill and burn Huojiabao, Shang Cheng had a hunch that Li Jiazhuang was afraid that he would not be able to escape this catastrophe and burned Huojiabao one by one, in order to avoid the guards stationed in the county seat, most of the Tu Yi soldiers would flow along the official road, and the first big market town along the official road to the north was Lijiazhuang...... For the possible experience of his mother-in-law, he had long been mentally prepared, and it was confirmed at this time, although he was sad, he was not very surprised, and he was about to ask again, when Zhao Shishi suddenly pounced and stopped him: "Brother monk, don't ask!" ”

Shang Cheng glanced at Zhao Shishi and said, "Don't ask anything?" Stretching out his arm, he didn't seem to use much force to gently put the stone aside, and asked, "Big brother, I'll ask you about something,......" The words were still swirling in his mouth, he already knew that Zhao Shishi asked him not to ask anything, and the thoughts that suddenly popped up in his mind were exactly the same as what Zhao Shishi said, don't ask, don't ask, don't ask! But the man said it as if he had fallen into a nightmare, "...... Have you seen my wife Lianniang? ”

"Lianniang? Lianniang? The man unconsciously recited Lianniang's name twice, raised his head with a dull gaze, as if he didn't know Shang Cheng, and said, "You're asking Lian'er of the Fan family, right?" She was captured by the Turgites, and many of them were taken by the Turgits......"

Shang Cheng's body shook violently, and his face suddenly twitched into a terrifying look. In an instant, he felt that the dark and deep sky dome had fallen like a mountain and a sea, and everything in front of him had disappeared, leaving only darkness, only darkness, boundless darkness......

Zhao Shishi hurriedly slung his stiff body. He was immediately crushed to the bent of his waist. Ji Zheng and Fan Quan were listening to them in a daze, until they saw Zhao Shishi's footsteps staggering and about to fall out of the wall, so they hurried to help. The three of them worked together to help Shang Cheng to sit down by the battlement, and when they looked at Shang Cheng again, they all opened their mouths in horror.

Shang Cheng's two eyes were round and wide, terrifyingly bulging, his pupils were dilated, and his eyes were staring blankly at a certain place; His face was blinding white and faintly tinged with blue-gray, but there were two red glooes floating on his cheekbones, like two blazing flames dancing on the snow. His head was tilted to one side, the corners of his mouth drooping, and a glittering saliva slid out of the corners of his grinning mouth, and spider silk hung on his chin.

Fan Quan desperately rubbed Shang Cheng's chest, and rubbed Shang Cheng's soft arm again, seeing that Ji was kneeling beside him at a loss, he shouted: "Hurry up!" Hurry up and let people go to the old camp to ask for a doctor! Fast! Then he shouted in a loud voice, "Go and get the wine!" Are all the people dead? Go get the wine! A few frightened soldiers woke up from this, and four or five people jumped down from the wall more than two people high, and flew towards all the places in the camp where there might be wine.

Zhao Shishi knelt next to Shang Cheng and rubbed Shang Cheng's temples desperately, rubbed it a few times and pinched the middle of the person, and saw that Shang Cheng was not looking at it for a long time, tears were so anxious that tears flowed out, his nose and tears were all over his face, but he didn't dare to stop in his hands.

The wine was soon brought in, and there were gourd jars, and the cowhide bags of the Tuduci people, but it was useless for the merchant to fill it, and his mouth could not be opened at all. Ji Zheng reached out and pinched Shang Cheng's face, pulled out the knife without moving twice, and Zhao Shishi screamed and rushed over to hug his shoulders and arms.

Ji Zheng struggled twice and didn't get out, and he didn't dare to stab Zhao Shishi with a knife, so he had to call someone to take him away, so he came over and worked with Fan Quan, one to wrench his head and the other to pinch his cheek, and used the tip of the knife to open Shang Cheng's mouth slit between his teeth.

"Pour wine! Hurry up! ”

A soldier carrying a cowhide bag was about to fall, and Leng Buding was kicked to the corner of the wall, Bao Shichang shouted "get out of the way" in his mouth, grabbed Shang Cheng in his chest, raised his arm and prepared to fan it down one by one

Then he was thrown onto the soldier who was carrying the leather wine bag just now, and the two of them slammed their heads together, rolled their eyelids and fainted together.

Shang Cheng slowly stood up with his hands on the wall, staggered two steps, pushed away the two stunned soldiers who were blocking his vision, squinted at the farmer, and asked sadly, "My wife...... How could she have been captured by the Turks? The Turks are strange soldiers, how can they take people captive with just a small number of people? How dare they go to human captivity! ”

The man was in a trance and said, "It's not the Raiders, it's the latter, it's all cavalry, and it's from the north......"

Three days ago, the Tu Tu cavalry from Panlong Ridge once again sacked the land, and the people who had escaped the disaster earlier fell into even greater suffering, Shang Cheng's wife, poor Lian Niang, was taken from the beach of the Maiu River by the Tu Tu Tu cavalry in this larger disaster......
