Volume 1 Descendants of the Dream Chapter 13 Digging a Pit
"Wei Dong?" Hearing Wei Dong's voice, Bai Ling'er finally let go of his mouth, Wei Dong grinned and stroked his arm, leaving a deep blood tooth mark on his arm, which seemed to be estimated to leave a scar.
"Where's my daddy? Where's my daddy? It was my dad who told you that I was in the stone chamber, right? Right? Bai Linger came to his senses, his father didn't come to pick him up,
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Wei Dong felt distressed for a while. He stretched out his hand to clear the falling sea for Bai Ling'er, revealing her eyes full of anticipation, expecting Wei Dong to tell her that Bai Duo was still alive. However, the reality was cruel, and Wei Dong had to say euphemistically;
"I don't know where the lord of Baizhai is, I accidentally found the mechanism on the shrine, and I found you."
"Daddy...... I'm going to find my Daddy, I'm going to find my Daddy. Bai Ling'er didn't get the answer she wanted, but she didn't believe that her father was gone, she was about to rush out as she spoke, but Wei Dong grabbed her:
"Perhaps, I know where he is, come with me."
Bai Ling'er was full of hope, until Wei Dong took her to the corpse pile and saw the corpses all over the place, her hope finally turned into despair. Ignoring the rotting smell of the corpses, she cried and ran and pounced, she checked them one by one, but there were too many corpses, and they were piled up, and some were crushed underneath, and she couldn't move them at all.
Wei Dong knew that it was impossible for Bai Ling'er to listen to his advice at this time, so he had to step forward to help her move the corpses away one by one. Finally, Bai Duolao's familiar face still appeared, Bai Ling'er hugged Geduo Lao's corpse, and cried like a light rain, drop after drop.
"Daddy......"
Half a day later, Wei Dong saw that Bai Ling'er was gradually suppressing his crying, so he stepped forward and suggested:
"The summer is hot, and the corpses are easy to decay, so it's better to cremate the villagers together!"
"No, thank you, please go back!" Bai Ling'er's voice was very cold, which made Wei Dong's heart tremble. He thought that he proposed cremation, which made Bai Ling'er angry, so he said again;
"I'm sorry, but we need to bury them as soon as possible."
"I will, please go back, we don't need outsiders to interfere in the affairs of Baijiazhai." Bai Ling'er's rejection of people thousands of miles away made Wei Dong frown slightly, he could understand Bai Ling'er's mood at the moment, but she suddenly changed so much, it was really difficult for Wei Dong to accept. Could it be that excessive grief has led to a drastic change in temperament?
Wei Dong didn't touch Bai Ling'er's nails again, he went to the next room to find a shovel, ready to dig a pit and bury people. He has been practicing marksmanship lately, and his arm strength has improved, and he doesn't feel too hard to dig a hole. About half an hour later, Wei Dong dug the first pit, and he buried the corpses on the ground, then the second and third. After digging for an afternoon, Wei Dong had buried nearly 20 corpses, and visually estimated that there were more than 300 corpses waiting for him to dig a pit. Bai Ling'er was still sitting on the ground holding Bai Duolao's corpse, but she occasionally looked at Wei Dong with a little more gratitude, but she was soon covered by a cold look.
Ten days later, Wei Dong's pit digging and burying was finally over, and under his perseverance and persuasion, Bai Ling'er let Bai Duolao's body be buried in the ground that night. Bai Ling'er inserted a wooden sign in front of each grave, on which their names were written with black charcoal, and it was also a loss that she was the daughter of the owner of the village, otherwise how could she recognize so many people. There are more than 300 small earthen bags, although they are relatively simple, but for two teenagers, it is already a big project. What made Wei Dong feel happy was that through the selfless digging and training in the past few days, he actually improved the power of marksmanship, and faintly touched the threshold of gun qi, which made him sigh that he was really a good person with good rewards. What made him even happier was that Bai Linger's gratitude to him gradually turned into moving.
Tonight, the stars gathered, Wei Dong and Bai Ling'er lay side by side on the grass and looked up at the sky, quietly not speaking. Just as Wei Dong was bored looking for constellations, Bai Ling'er suddenly said:
"Tomorrow Uncle Tie and Uncle Yao should come back from the mountains."
"Oh!" Wei Dong didn't know how to answer, and only after a while did he reluctantly smile, "Then I should rest assured!" ”
"Are you leaving?" Bai Ling'er's heart trembled slightly, since Bai Duolao died, Wei Dong has always been by his side, helping her, persuading her, and protecting her, if it were not for Wei Dong's company, I am afraid that she would have been unable to support it for a long time, and chose to accompany Bai Duolao. After these ten days of inseparable relationship, she has regarded Wei Dong as the only important person she is now.
"Don't you want me to go?"
Wei Dong didn't know what Bai Ling'er was thinking about her, so he tried to ask.
"I ......" Wei Dong's question was a bit direct and sudden, Bai Ling'er's heart jumped, she wanted to say that Wei Dong should not go, but she couldn't say the words when she came to her mouth.
"It's late at night, let's go back and rest early." Seeing that Bai Ling'er refused to answer, Wei Dong was a little disappointed in his heart.
"Hmm." Bai Ling'er hummed lightly and sat up. She looked at Wei Dong, who was still lying on the ground, and the reluctance in her heart became more and more intense. She stared ahead, where there was endless darkness, as if there was no end in sight. Only beside her, there is now a glimmer of light warming and illuminating her. Finally, she let go of her clenched lip and secretly made a decision.
In the early morning of the next day, the team that went into the mountains to collect medicine and hunt returned as scheduled, but today they were greeted not by the kind smile of the old man, not by the concerned greeting of his wife, nor by the pestering of the children, but by Wei Dong with a solemn expression and Bai Ling'er with a cold face.
"Ling'er, what's wrong in the village?"
"What about the old village owner and the other villagers, why do you only see the two of you?"
"Is there a giant python again? Sanniang, little flower ......"
Seeing that everyone was full of questions, some people even threw away the medicinal herbs and prey on their bodies, and rushed to the village.
"Come with me!"
Bai Ling'er took a deep breath, desperately suppressed the tumbling sourness, turned around with red eyes and walked towards the back village.
When the dense small earthen bags came into everyone's eyes, they went crazy, cried, screamed, and even worse, after finding the wooden sign with the names of their relatives, they dug the small earthen bags with their hands in disbelief, and when a small blackened hand was revealed, he collapsed and fell to the ground, and his trembling ten fingers were dripping with blood, and he held the little hand tightly.
"Flowers, Abba is coming back late!"
The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but he hasn't reached the sad place. When Bai Ling'er saw Bai Duolao's corpse at that time, she was not the same sorrow. At that moment, she hated herself, hated her innocence, and thought that everyone wanted to be plain and happy like her. hated her own incompetence, watching the Bai women in the ancestral hall being humiliated but unable to do anything, hating her own stupidity, why would she believe that Bai Duo Lao would come back to pick her up, if she and Bai Duo Lao hid in the secret room at that time...... But now her sad heart has been filled with hatred and will not shed a single tear again.
"Uncle Tie, the matter has come to this, we should think about how to avenge everyone."
"Yes, I want revenge." Tiemu reburied his daughter's small dirt bag, then stood up, and a hoarse and angry voice came out of his mouth, "Who did it, I want them to pay with blood!" ”
"It's a soldier of the Southern Barbarians." Wei Dong was worried that Bai Ling'er would tell the truth and cause unnecessary trouble, so he hurriedly interjected, "I took Ling'er to the market to play for a few days, and on the way back to Baijiazhai, I met the villagers of Baijiazhai who went to Weijiazhuang for help. At that time, he only had his last breath left, and he intermittently said that hundreds of Nanban soldiers begged for help from the White Horse Righteous Spear, and then he lost his breath. ”
Bai Ling'er heard Wei Dong's words, although she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, she acquiesced on the surface.
"Who is this little brother?"
"In Xia Wei Dong, he is the nephew of Wei Yun, the white horse righteous gun."
"It turned out to be Wei Gongzi who chanted poems and danced guns at the celebration banquet, I saw it that night."
After everyone recognized Wei Dong, they had already believed most of his words.
"The more than 300 graves of the villagers are all Wei Dong's righteous deeds." Seeing that everyone was suspicious of Wei Dong, Bai Ling'er hurriedly said good things for him.
"Wei Gongzi is so gracious, I can't wait for it to be unforgettable!" As he spoke, everyone knelt down to Wei Dong.
Wei Dong didn't know how important his digging behavior was to them, but he was a little flattered to watch more than a hundred men kneel down in Ulala. Thinking of similar episodes in the reality TV series, he hurriedly stepped forward to help a humane;
"The villagers of Baijiazhai are all kind and simple people, what is my little move, I just hate to get the news too late, and when I and Ling'er rush back, Baijiazhai has suffered a great disaster. Eh, if Uncle Wei is here, those Nanban soldiers will definitely not come back. ”
When everyone saw Wei Dong's sincere words, they all believed it, and when they heard the sadness, they couldn't help but cry secretly. However, when Tie Mu saw that Bai Ling'er wanted to speak again, he couldn't help but suspect that Dou was suddenly born, he thought for a moment, and suddenly his heart was shocked, could it be ......
"Uncles and uncles, I decided to go to Weijiazhuang to wait for the return of the White Horse Righteous Spear, and then ask him to avenge us, I don't know if anyone wants to go with me."
Bai Ling'er's sudden words made Wei Dong surprised and delighted, he thought that Bai Ling'er didn't answer his question last night, she rejected him, but he didn't expect her to make such a plan. Hearing Bai Ling'er's thoughts, the other people in Baijiazhai were also quite moved in their hearts, the white horse righteous gun was famous in the Qiqi generation, and the means of killing the white python and seriously injuring the giant python were all clear, if he was willing to help, then there was hope for revenge for Baijiazhai.
"I'll go with you!"
"Count me in!"
"I'll go too!"
“……”
After a while, everyone, including Tie Mu, agreed to follow Bai Ling'er to Weijiazhuang.
"Okay, let's get ready, let's go tonight."
It was only at this moment that many people slowly reacted. Baijiazhai suffered a catastrophe, the old owner and hundreds of villagers died, but the daughter of the owner of the village was able to stand up and continue to move forward with everyone. They believe that as long as Bai Ling'er is in one day, Baijiazhai will not really perish.
After everyone dispersed, Tiemu avoided everyone and came to the ancestral hall of the ancestral house in the back village alone, he found the hidden grid to open the stone room mechanism, and then used the stone to jam the hidden grid, and hurriedly went in to check, sure enough, the food and water in the stone room had been moved.
"Bai Duo Lao, Bai Duo Lao, I owe you to respect you as the owner of Baijia Village, how can you be so selfish!" He was so remorseful and hateful, he and Bai Duo Lao quietly built this secret room together, but it was leaked, only the two of them knew, and Tiemu even hid his wife. Now he sees that the people in the whole village are killed, and there are traces of people coming in the stone room, who else can there be besides Bai Ling'er!
"Ah......h He hated himself, why didn't he tell his wife that there was a stone chamber mechanism, he hated Bai Duolao, why didn't he help his wife and children, he hated Bai Ling'er, why did the whole village die but she lived.
"Sanniang, Hua'er, don't worry, after I kill all the dog thieves in Nanban, I will definitely let the damned people come down to bury you!"
As soon as Bai Ling'er returned to the house, she said coldly to Wei Dong:
"Why don't you let me tell the truth!"
"To tell the truth, it is undoubtedly the second injury for them, and now that Baijiazhai exists in name only, what you need is to work together. If there is another internal conflict, do you think everyone still has the possibility of revenge? ”
I have to admit that Wei Dong's concerns are right, and she also found that many people are suspicious, especially the eyes of Tiemu looking at her, as if he has seen through her heart.
"Thank you, but please don't help me make decisions in the future, the path I want to take will be decided by myself!"
Seeing Bai Linger's burst of majesty, Wei Dong had no choice but to shrug his shoulders helplessly, Bai Ling'er became like this, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Eh, I miss the innocent Bai Ling'er before, but can everything go back?
Under the bright moonlight, a team of more than 100 people left Baijiazhai and slowly walked towards Weijiazhuang......
