Chapter 6 Little Plums

Outside the door, a team of soldiers and horses blocked Zhao Ji's house. Afraid that something would happen and the child would be taken away by the soldiers, Zhao Ji hurriedly took Zhao Zheng tightly in his arms. Unlike Zhao Ji, because he knew that the person who came was his own person, Old Doctor Liu seemed very indifferent.

"Grandpa Liu!"

A young man in 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 helped the young general up, and 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 ancestral home is now Xingdi, Hebei, due to family changes, and then the family moved to the hinterland of Taihang Mountain. Due to the battle of Qin and Zhao Changping a few years ago and the fact that their home was not very far from the battlefield, it was nothing new 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, it only took half an hour to complete the work, but Xiao Lizi took 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 the little plum is happy, the nightmare has quietly befallen his home.

Xiao Lizi, who went out of the house early in the morning, didn't walk home with the firewood pile on her back until it was close to noon. Walking into the yard and putting the firewood on his back into the yard at random, Xiao Lizi habitually shouted at the top of his voice.

"Dad, mother, I'm back!"

In normal times, someone in the room should have answered at this time, but no one spoke today.

"Are they all out and not at home?"

Xiao Lizi muttered as he pulled out the wild fruits from his arms one by one.

"Sister, where is Daddy?"

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

After screaming twice in a row, there was still no response in the house, 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 usually used to being nervous, 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 house, the scene in front of him made this little boy who was only eleven or twelve years old completely stunned. 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 covered in blood, sat on the kang and hugged his father and mother and cried silently, and I don't know how long it took, Xiao Lizi looked at the blood on the ground, and suddenly thought of his 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 extreme pain, and staggered to her sister's kang, and as she got closer and closer to her sister, Xiao Lizi's face became more and more distorted, hideous, and terrifying.

Xiao Lizi's sister was staring at the kang with her eyes crooked on top of the kang at this time, and she was holding a piece of black cloth tightly in her hand. At this time, Xiao Lizi's originally innocent eyes were full of resentment, and he was extremely angry.

Xiao Lizi did not cry like Fang Cai after seeing his sister's tragic death, but chose to hide the cry in his heart, and 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 gangster's coat before his sister died. This piece of cloth is extremely important for him to find his enemies in the future, but he also understands that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack to find the enemy who brutally killed his entire family. couldn't see the reason for a while, so Xiao Lizi 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 very clear at this time, and he knew that this was not the time to cry sadly.

It was the height of summer, and it had been a long time since my family had passed away. Xiao Lizi knew that if he didn't bury it, it would be difficult to deal with it when the corpse began to decompose. 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.

As time passed quietly, the sun that was originally overhead was about to set, and looking at the sky that was beginning to darken through the window, Xiao Lizi finally began to prepare for his family......
