Chapter 101: Orphan Xiaojing
Xiao Jing is an orphan, when she was a few months old, she was picked up from the ravine by the villagers, and the villagers were amazed at that time, because the place they lived in was called Wolf Ridge, as the name suggests, it was a place where wolves often haunted, and here, people could hear the howl of the wolf king Xiaoyue every night!
But a baby thrown into the ravine was not eaten by the wolf, this is simply a miracle, it is said that when picked up, there are traces of milk on the corner of the baby's mouth, and people also found the footprints and hair of the wolf nearby, so everyone exclaimed, this is a child who grew up eating wolf milk!
In a state of anxiety, Xiao Jing was taken back to the village, but no one dared to accept the child who was raised by wolf milk, and finally an old couple with no children and no daughters adopted her, because she never cried or made trouble, and played quietly alone every day, so she was named Xiao Jing!
When she was eight years old, a plague struck, the old couple died one after another, and Xiao Jing became an orphan again, so the eight-year-old child began to pick up the burden of life alone, relying on a sharp firewood knife left at home, she went up the mountain every day to chop wood, go down to the river to fish, catch small beasts in the mountains, and pick beehive ...... in the wild, all in order to survive!
Maybe it's really the reason why she ate wolf milk when she was a child, Xiao Jing showed an amazing talent for life in the wild, whether it was the tallest tree, or the steepest cliff, even if it was a dangerous peak that those medicine pickers couldn't go up, but under her feet it was like walking on the ground, she could distinguish the medicinal properties of the flowers and plants in the wild, and the footprints of the beasts in the mountains could not escape her eyes, at the age of ten she became an excellent mountain guest, a mountain guest, that is, a person who relies on the mountains to eat the mountains, all the children in the village regard her as an idol, and the adults see her as the reincarnation of the demon wolf, full of fear, In this way, under the eyes of adoration and fear, Xiao Jing slowly grew to the age of twelve......
According to the age of the Han Dynasty, twelve years old is a half-old child, if there is no accident, maybe Xiaojing should get married in a few years, the Han system, the woman is fifteen years old and Xu, it is considered a complete adult, and she can have children, yes, Xiaojing is a girl!
It's a pity that fate doomed this child who grew up eating wolf milk will not spend an ordinary life, on Xiao Jing's twelfth birthday (that is, the anniversary of her being picked up), the Yellow Turban Army rebels came, killed, set fire, and robbed all the things in the village, and took away all the people!
In order to survive, Xiao Jing became one of the refugees, and together with the team, she ate all the surrounding counties like locusts, and finally came to Linzi City!
"Recruit the siege dead, those who want to eat wheat cakes come over, and one dead soldier will give two wheat cakes!"
The aroma of food attracted Xiao Jing's attention, since being wrapped up, she and a dozen children have gathered together, they have either their parents were killed, or separated from their relatives, they have become orphans who no one cares, in order to survive in this troubled world, the children have to form small groups to fight against the danger outside, in addition to their serious lack of food, the biggest danger is that many people regard them as food, stealing children, it is already a tacit thing in the refugee camp!
Oppression and resistance coexist, predators sometimes become prey, one night, when Xiao Jing used the firewood knife in her hand to kill a scoundrel who came to the orphan group to snatch the child, she became the eldest sister of all the children, she was an orphan since she was a child, she was happy to have so many relatives at once, but it is also a problem to feed these children, in the Yellow Turban Army, the children have no food ration, fortunately, Xiao Jing has an extremely rich knowledge of wild life, she took these children to dig grass roots, pull bark, fight birds, catch wild beasts, Collect everything you can eat, and even so, many children die of hunger, and in troubled times, survival is a luxury!
"Boss, it's not good, the little turtle is almost hungry!" A yellow-faced and thin-skinned child ran in front of Xiao Jing, and the same steps were vain, because the weather was getting colder, and it was becoming more and more difficult to get food from the wild, and he couldn't even dig up wild vegetables.
The little turtle is one of the orphans, because he is thin and has few taels of meat, small limbs, and a very large belly, like a turtle, so everyone calls him the little turtle, because of hunger, he is already swollen and dying!
Looking at the dozen or so fat-headed dolls behind him who also began to appear swollen, Xiao Jing knew that there was no food, everyone would not last long, if people were hungry for a long time, they would not become thin, but become fat, this is edema, the body is bulging up like inflated, it looks very blessed, you can use your fingers to press lightly, there will be a deep pit, and you can't recover for a long time, and when even the edema disappears one day, the limit of people will come!
"Take care of your brothers and sisters, don't be taken away, I'll go get something to eat and come back!" After Xiao Jing instructed several slightly older children, he walked to the little leader of the Yellow Turban Army who was recruiting dead soldiers for the siege of the city, and now he can only fight with his own life, and if he succeeds, he will bring food back, and if he fails, then he will be the boss and take the first step, and he will not have to watch the children around him starve to death one by one!
"Take it, take it, eat quickly, and when you're full, you're ready to attack the city!" The little leader of Taiping Road, whose head was wrapped in a yellow scarf, began to distribute wheat cakes to those who signed up, and for many people, this may be the last meal they will have in their lives, so everyone is gobbling up, dying, and being a full ghost!
"I'll be a dead soldier!" Holding the firewood knife in her hand, Xiao Jing stepped forward to sign up!
"You? Little milk baby, Lao Tzu is recruiting dead soldiers, not showing children! The little boss who was recruiting people took a closer look at the little baby in front of him, in order to facilitate the first entry in the refugee camp, Xiao Jing has always been dressed as a boy, wearing a tattered leather jacket, with bare feet and shirtless feet, covered with sludge and calluses, this is the trace left by running in the mountains all year round, the hair is bound by a hemp rope, the little face is messy, except for a pair of black and white big eyes with some aura, Xiao Jing is no different from other boys in the refugee camp!
"I'm not afraid of death!" Because of her childhood and lonely life, Xiao Jing's speech has always been so brief, and with a wave of the firewood knife in her hand, she actually began to cut her shoulder, cutting slowly, and the sharp blade passed over, and the blood immediately flowed down, but she didn't even blink her eyes.
People who are not afraid of death may not be afraid of pain, but people who are not afraid of pain are generally not afraid of death, because death is easy, but the pain is unbearable, so how many heroes and heroes seek to be happy before they die, don't suffer!
"Well, there's a kind! That's you! The little leader was finally moved, such a young child is so ruthless, I have never seen it, being ruthless to others is nothing, being ruthless to oneself is really ruthless; And he saw a ferocity in Xiao Jing's eyes, this child is not simple, he took out two wheat cakes from the bamboo basket and handed them over, thought about it, and took out another one, "Boy, you are worth this price!" ”
Xiao Jing quickly ate a wheat cake, now she needs to replenish her strength, otherwise she can't climb up the city so high, as for the other two, she took them in her arms, ready to take them back to those children, if there is no food, it is estimated that several children will starve to death tonight!
Soon thousands of siege soldiers were pushed to Linzi City, these are all outlaws, although the weapons in their hands are not sophisticated, and the armor is not a piece, but the boundless murderous aura exuded makes the defenders of the city feel palpitations, and the veterans of the perennial war know that the most terrible thing on the battlefield is not the well-equipped sharp soldiers, it is precisely these dead soldiers who are not afraid of death, one person is desperate, ten people are unstoppable!
"Drums! Dead Man Impact! Zhang Yan gave an order, dozens of war drums beat at the same time, this is the signal to attack, thousands of dead soldiers suddenly howled wildly, many people took off their shirtless, a group of several people, carrying a simple wooden ladder, rushed towards the head of Linzi City, the supervision team behind them immediately followed, today these people are either rushing to the head of the city, or dying on the battlefield, there is no third way to go!
Xiao Jing was too small to carry a ladder, so she had to follow behind a group of people, dodging the rain of arrows like a dexterous kitten while lunging forward; Finally rushed to the city wall, the grinding plate of the big stone smashed down, because the crowd is too dense, almost every piece can smash out a blood alley, most of the defenders on the city wall are local soldiers, they know deeply, once the millions of refugees rush into Linzi will have what the consequences will be, in order to protect their wives and children, they must also work hard!
"Kill, rush forward!" Although there were heavy casualties, none of the dead retreated, and if they retreated anyway, they died, one fell, and ten followed, so thousands of outlaws braved the rain of arrows from the pavement, stepped on the corpses of their comrades, ignored the swords of the enemy, and rushed to the top of the city with flesh and blood, and then began even more bloody hand-to-hand combat......
Although Xiao Jing is small and weak, she is very flexible, she did not climb the ladder to attack the city like others, but relied on the skills she had practiced on the mountain since she was a child, while dodging the bow and arrow, while clasping the bulge on the city wall and climbing up, like a little monkey, she quickly climbed to the female wall!
As soon as he showed his head, a defender big man held a bright ring knife to split his head, frightened Xiao Jing hurriedly shrank his neck, narrowly avoided the past, and then clasped the city wall with one hand, turned over, and the firewood knife did not hesitate to slash at the other party's neck, the other party did not expect that it was a child who jumped up, slightly stunned, the firewood knife was split on the neck, blood splashed, the head rolled down, who said that children can't kill!
At the same time, the rest of the city walls were also broken through by the dead, bloody hand-to-hand combat began, the dead bodies rolled, heads fell to the ground, and from time to time there were siege dead soldiers holding the defenders and jumping down from the city, and at the same time falling to pieces, under such a desperate attack, the defenders finally collapsed......
Xiao Jing didn't know how many she had killed, anyway, her body was already stained red with blood, and she was stabbed in the back of her waist, fortunately she was thin and small, otherwise she would have been able to cut her waist at this time, but when the manpower was always exhausted, not to mention a child who hadn't even eaten for a long time, when she staggered and fell headlong on the pile of dead, Xiao Jing knew that she was finished!
"It's good to be dead, there will be no more loneliness when you die, there will be no hunger, and I hope to have my parents and relatives in my next life......"
"Boom! ...... "Rush in, kill in!" When Xiao Jing closed his eyes and waited for death, the rebels outside the city suddenly let out an earth-shattering shout, the city gate collapsed, and Linzi City fell!
