Chapter 81: The Burning of the Granary
The time has come, and the winter night is particularly cold and misty, gloomy and gloomy, and the night is like a monster with a big mouth open in a black hole, and there are no fingers on the street.
Outside the granary, more than a dozen lanterns hang from the wall. The lantern shrank and swayed in the night wind, and the faint light seemed to have become much smaller because of the fear of cold. At the gate of the east wall, four soldiers craned their necks and snorted, their leather boots clattering on the frozen hard ground.
Feng Liang and the four of them were already hidden in the corner of the west wall at this time. The cat was also caught one by one and in his hands. The four of them looked at each other, and they didn't hesitate anymore, Feng Liang and Duochai squatted in place, Qi Fuyan and Zan Youdi ran left and right, and went to the south wall and the north wall.
Feng Liang's thin body was tense, his eyes were sharp, and he looked around like a wolf. In a moment, only two clicks were heard, and the firewood had already hit the flint. The fire on the rope on the cat's tail quickly writhed, as if it wanted to break free from the restraint and devour more. The two of them glanced at each other, and at the same time used their hands to throw the gagged cat into the wall.
After a while, there was a bright light shining in the wall, and after a moment, it was as bright as it was, and the flames were already rising to the ground, but the footsteps in the courtyard were chaotic, and a hysterical voice roared: "Burn, burn, quick!" ”
At the same time, in the north and south directions, there are also fires. In winter, the weather is dry and dry, and the grain and grass are piled up in one place, tightly and solidly. Wherever the cat passed, the burning oil kept dripping, starting from the edge and going to the middle, burning bigger and bigger, burning more and more fiercely, and in less than a quarter of an hour, most of the whole granary was on fire.
At this time, the fire rushed to the sky, reflecting a low dark cloud, a strange dark red. Inside and outside the courtyard, the sound of dense running, rapid shouts and people's shouting and scolding came and went, boiling everywhere.
Feng Liang was under the base of the wall, tilting his head and squinting, looking at the tongue of fire that danced wildly in the air like red silk. This time, with his own ability, he finally did something to contribute to Gao Yue, and his heart was excited and overflowing. When he was looking at it, Duochai woke him up and said, "Du Shuai, the matter has been successful, retreat quickly!" ”
Feng Liang woke up, looked at the ground and saw that there were two cloth bags for cats on the ground, greasy and greasy, and simply threw them into the wall, so together with Duochai, just as he was about to run, Qi Fuyan turned the corner of the wall and ran over, his face was panicked, and he said breathlessly: "Oh no, Zan has a brother, Zan has a brother, Zan has a brother has been discovered!" ”
Feng Liang and Duochai and the two of them fell suddenly when they heard this. It turned out that after Qi Fuyan successfully completed the task, he watched the fire in the wall, and saw that there was also smoke rising in the direction of Zan Youdi, so he stuck to the root of the wall, ready to call Zan Youdi to retreat together. As soon as he ran to the corner, he heard a guard shouting, his heart jumped, he hid in the corner of the wall and peeked out, and found that Zan Youdi had been pressed to the ground by several guards.
Feng Liang and Zan Youdi have known each other for three times, but in fact, they haven't even had more than seven days with their heads and tails. However, in just a few days of getting along, from Xiangwu City all the way to Xihe County, step by step to the present, Feng Liang has a strong affection for the three companions who share life and death with him.
Feng Liang secretly swore more than once in his heart that since he had brought these three people out rashly, he would bring them back safely no matter what. In the future, the internal government will be formally formed, and these three people will be his close confidants and right-hand men. Now that it is done, but it is going to lose one person, how can I accept it!
Feng Liang's eyes cracked. I want to save it. Duochai's eyes were quick, and he held him down to death, and shouted in a low voice: "All handsome, don't do it!" The enemy didn't find the three of us, and now we have only the pawns to protect the car! ”
Feng Lianghuo turned his head, glared at the red eyes and gasped, "What did you say!" I'll come with us, and I'll go with him, and if I trap him here, he'll surely die, and I can't even explain to myself!" ”
Qi Fuyan also said urgently: "On the grassland, a sheep is taken away by a wolf, then don't look for it again, it is the right thing to protect the remaining sheep." are all handsome, give up the small to protect the big, you can't be rash! ”
Feng Liang was about to struggle, and suddenly heard the hoarse voice of his brother, intermittently: "Lao Tzu is alone, he can burn down your granary, hahaha!" Come and kill me, and my death is worthy of the grace of His Majesty Dachengguo! Hahaha......"
The three of them were stunned all over their bodies like electricity. Zan Youdi's words are clearly aware that he will die, and he is no longer willing to drag down and expose his companions, suggesting that the three of them should stop caring about him. At the same time, he also diverted the troubled waters to the south, and distracted the attention of the Di people to Chengguo in the land of Bashu in the south, further muddying the waters and making the situation more complicated.
"Lao Tzu's family naturally has Shangguan and brothers to take care of them. Now that he is dead to repay the lord, he has no regrets! Zan Youdi's poignant voice was as sharp as a needle in the skyrocketing firelight, piercing the hearts of Feng Liang and the three of them word by word.
He has no family, and the three of them all remember that according to Zan Youdi, he has only one younger brother, who has just been recruited into the army for less than a month, and is still in the recruit camp.
Listening to the last words of Tuo Gu that Brother Zan Youdi deliberately said to the three of them at this time, Feng Liang's heart was as straight as a knife, and he couldn't hold back his tears anymore, and he burst out of his eyes. He looked at Duochai and Qi Fuyan, both of whom also looked miserable.
Duochai said anxiously: "If you don't leave, it's dangerous!" is handsome, you can't let Zan Youdi die in vain. Come on! After that, he and Qi Fuyan grabbed Feng Liang one by one, and the cat's waist ran to the inland river in the west. didn't run two steps, but he heard the shouts of his younger brother and stopped abruptly. Feng Liang stumbled, burst into tears, gritted his teeth, and rushed to the river without looking back.
"Plop" sounded, and the three of them quickly jumped into the water, and the originally calm river surface was filled with panicked ripples as if frightened, and the water rippled round after circle.
Feng Liangben is also a little watery. But when he was in turmoil, he thought that he had a brother who was more auspicious and less auspicious, which caused him to be in chaos, and when he was rushing, his breathing was uneven, and he was suffocated in his chest in one breath. After jumping into the water in a hurry, after only a moment, he felt depressed and unbearable, and subconsciously opened his mouth, and he was poured into several large mouthfuls of water, Feng Liang only felt a tingling pain in his ears, a heavy pressure on his chest, gritted his teeth and swam in the water again, and he couldn't support it, his eyes were black, and he was unconscious.
Xihe County is half a mile away. On the dark and quiet bank of the river, Duochai and Qi Fuyan knelt on the ground wet, and the water on their bodies continued to flow, wetting the ground into a large black and gloomy area. The cold wind blew on the winter night, and the soaked clothes clung to their bodies, but the two of them didn't seem to realize it. just stared at the person in front of him with a pale face, it was Feng Liang who was soaked and lying motionless on the ground.
Qi Fuyan leaned down with his hands, listened with bated breath in front of Feng Liang's chest for a while, stretched out his hand suddenly, and after probing under Feng Liang's nose for a while, Qi Fuyan slowly raised his faceless face, and looked directly at Duochai, his eyes full of fear.
Zan Youdi has already lost his life to the enemy. If Feng Liang's life is also involved, how serious the consequences will be, the two of them don't need to think about it to know clearly.
"All handsome, all handsome!" Duochai rushed over and shook Feng Liang's body, Feng Liang's eyes were closed, and he didn't react, but water kept coming out of his mouth. Rao is the most calm and calm of the four, Duochai, and at this moment, he suddenly felt helpless and fearful.
Heavy dark clouds were silently churning, and the moonlight was no longer visible. At this moment, when the eyes of the two of them were intertwined, they both felt that the darkness of intensity and despair was boundless.
