Chapter 8 Little Plums

Outside the door of the house, a team of soldiers and horses surrounded Zhao Ji's house. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info was afraid that something would happen and the soldier would take his child away, Zhao Ji hurriedly put the quilt back on Zhao Zheng's body, and then hugged him tightly in his arms and didn't move.

Unlike Zhao Ji, because he knew that the person who came was his own person, Old Doctor Liu seemed unusually indifferent.

"Grandpa Liu!"

A young man wearing battle armor shouted, and then he got off his horse and walked towards Old Doctor Liu.

"Grandpa Liu!" The young man fell to his knees with his fists folded and bowed.

Old Doctor Liu hurriedly stretched out his old hand to help the young general up, and then responded with a smile: "Hahaha...... My son is really majestic, more and more like a little general...... Hahahaha......"

Xiao Lizi, the specific name is unknown, Zhao Guoren's name. His ancestral home was in the present-day Xingtai area of Hebei Province, and due to changes in his family, he moved his family to the Taihang Mountain area of Shexian County, Handan. Due to the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping a few years ago and the fact that their homes were not very far from the battlefield, it was not a new thing to encounter soldiers of the two armies in the depths of the mountains.

One day, Xiao Lizi went to the mountains to chop firewood as usual. Like an ordinary eleven or twelve-year-old boy, the playful little plum plays in the mountains for a while to catch fish, climbs trees and picks birds, and picks wild fruits for a while. Originally, the work that could be completed in only half an hour, but Xiao Lizi spent most of the day.

Maybe God bless the little plum, God doesn't want the innocent little plum to experience blood and cruelty too early. Just when Xiao Lizi was happy, the nightmare had already befallen his home.

Xiao Lizi, who had left the house early in the morning, did not walk home with the firewood pile on his back until it was close to noon.

"Dad, mother, I'm back!"

Xiao Lizi walked into the yard, put the firewood on his back into the yard and shouted habitually. In normal times, someone in the room should have answered at this time, but no one spoke today.

"Are you out, not at home?"

Xiao Lizi pondered while pulling out the wild fruits on the mountain from his arms one by one.

"Sister, where is Daddy?"

After throwing the miscellaneous things on the small stone table in the courtyard, he shouted at the house.

After screaming twice in a row, there was still no response in the room, and Xiao Lizi began to wonder.

"It doesn't make sense, people?"

Xiao Lizi, who was muttering a little in his heart, put his things away and walked straight to the house. Children who grew up in the mountains were extremely sensitive to the smell of blood since childhood, and after a few steps, Xiao Lizi noticed the faint smell of blood in the air.

"Could it be that there is a harvest again today, and my father and sister are busy packing up their prey and have no time to take care of me?"

Xiao Lizi raised his head and sniffed in the direction of the room, then licked his lips and said secretly in his heart.

"Hey...... Looks like I'm eating again today! ”

At the thought of eating, Xiao Lizi grinned, wiped the hara that flowed out at some point, and walked to the house in a hurry.

As the smell of blood became thicker and stronger, Xiao Lizi's feet finally stepped into the house without any movement. Xiao Lizi, who is used to being nervous on weekdays, didn't notice anything unusual except for a strong smell of blood at the moment he first entered the door. But when his eyes gradually adjusted to the light in the gloomy grass hut, the scene before him completely stunned the little boy, who was only eleven or twelve years old. I don't know how long it took, but the boy standing at the door of the grass hut finally couldn't help but cry.

In the extremely simple thatched house, there were not many bottles and cans that were smashed to pieces. Blood flowed like a stream from the kang in the inner and outer rooms, and in the middle of the house they gathered into a small lake of bright red. The bright red lake seems to really ripple under the midday sun, which makes people's hearts tremble. The pottery shards scattered on the ground at will are like towering mountains, reflecting the red and fiery blood rivers and blood lakes, like a condensed version of the battlefield of the Battle of Changping.

Xiao Lizi never dreamed that such a thing would happen at home, bent down and picked up a piece of pottery stained with blood, and slowly turned his head to the clay kang that had been stained red with blood with tears in his eyes.

"Dad, mother!"

With an extremely miserable shout, Xiao Lizi rushed to the earthen kang with an arrow step and cried heartbreakingly, and the terrible cry fluttered in the wind in the majestic Taihang Mountain.

Xiao Lizi, who was already covered in blood, was still sitting on the kang and holding his father and mother and crying silently. I don't know how long it took, Xiao Lizi looked at the blood on the ground, and suddenly thought of her sister in a flash. After placing her father's body neatly, Xiao Lizi almost fell off the kang and crawled towards her sister's back room. At this time, Xiao Lizi was covered with blood, and his originally fair little face was also made as hideous and terrifying as if he had just been skinned.

Although the inner room was not a few steps away from the earthen kang in the outer house, the ground covered with pottery shards was like a chasm full of thorns, separating Xiao Lizi and his sister. The almost crazy little plum directly chose to ignore it, and directly crushed it with his flesh and blood, and the clay pottery fragments along the way were crushed by him, and some large pieces were directly crushed into countless small pieces by the little plum that crawled over. At the moment when Xiao Lizi climbed into the back room with great difficulty but very quickly, Xiao Lizi's originally somewhat frightened face was completely distorted, and the whole person became completely crazy.

Regardless of the pain, Xiao Lizi stood up in great pain, and staggered to her sister's kang. As he got closer and closer to his sister, Xiao Lizi's face became more and more distorted, hideous, and terrifying.

Xiao Lizi's sister was staring at this time, her whole body was crooked on top of the kang naked, and she was holding a piece of black cloth tightly in her hand. The carcass that was originally as white as jade is now as white as paper except for a red mark of blood on the neck that has solidified. The lower body is stained with blood, red and swollen, and from time to time there will be a milky white liquid mixed with blood and water flowing out slowly. At this time, Xiao Lizi's innocent eyes were full of resentment, and he was extremely angry at this time.

Xiao Lizi didn't cry like Fang Cai after seeing his sister's tragic death, which does not mean that he is not close to his sister, but chose to hide the cry in his heart, Xiao Lizi's mind was sublimated from the moment he saw his sister's tragic death.

Sitting gently on her sister's kang, Xiao Lizi endured the pain that could not be described in words, and broke her sister's cold and stiff little hand with great difficulty, and gently pulled out the black cloth in her hand. Xiao Lizi picked up this piece of black cloth and put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, he naturally understood that this piece of black cloth was torn off from the coat of the gangster before his sister died, so it was extremely important for him to find the enemy in the future, but if he wanted to find the enemy who brutally killed his whole family, it was really like looking for a needle in a haystack. Xiao Lizi, who couldn't see the reason for a while, was a little unwilling, but looking at the darkening sky outside the house, he had no choice but to fold the black cloth boy carefully and put it into his arms.

Standing up and rubbing his eyes that were already red from crying, Xiao Lizi's mind was unusually clear at this time, and he knew that this was not the time for him to cry sadly. At this time, it was the hottest summer of the year, and it had been several hours since his family died, and if he was not buried in time, it would be difficult to deal with it when it began to decompose, so the matter must be dealt with quickly. As for the villagers, Xiao Lizi concluded that there was nothing left to live. To be able to do such a brutal and unjustified thing in broad daylight is definitely not the work of a few people, so he knows that he can't count on anyone to collect the body.

As time passed quietly, the sun that had been overhead was about to set at this time. Looking at the sky that was beginning to get darker through the window, Xiao Lizi began to prepare for the aftermath for his family......
