Liu Hao jumped out of the carriage and followed Liu San and them slowly towards Liu's house. Turning around a half-collapsed wall, I saw a few wild dogs picking something on a house, with a bloody arm in their mouths.

Liu San roared "ah", pulled out his saber and rushed towards a few wild dogs like crazy, shouting with a cry: "Brute An dares to insult the remains of my Liu ancestors!" Several other guards who came out of Liu's house also drew their sabers and rushed towards the wild dogs crying.

Seeing their expressions, Liu Hao couldn't help but shed tears, even if he had no feelings, he was so uncomfortable to see this situation that he couldn't breathe, his throat was like a block of something, and he couldn't make a sound when he cried. Liu San's actions startled the wild dogs, and they all turned around and ran.

Here, Lu Yue waved his hand, several soldiers took off their bows and arrows, quickly stretched their bows and pulled the strings, and after a rain of arrows, the wild dogs were all nailed to the ground. Liu San rushed up, crying and snatching the broken arm from the mouth of a wild dog, and then frantically raised a knife and slashed at the dog, and several other people did the same, the heart-rending cry made Liu Hao's heart feel as if there was a hand holding it, it hurt, it hurts.

Baguio and Ling'er have already become tearful people, and even Yan Zhenqing muttered while crying: "Why is it so miserable? Why is this so・・・・・・"

When several of Lu Yue's subordinates pulled Liu San and them away, the flesh and blood of those wild dogs were already blurred, and the knife in Liu San's hand was even half cut off. Lu Yue shouted to the group of cavalry with red eyes: "The two teams go out to inspect, and if there is a live mouth, bring it over." One team stayed behind to guard the horses, and the others helped to clean up the bodies. ”

After Lu Yue finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and shouted: "What the hell is this peaceful and prosperous world?" ”

Ling'er put filial piety clothes on Liu Hao while crying, Baguio sat on the ground with a set of filial piety clothes, crying a handful of snot and tears, and she didn't even know when her veil fell off.

Regardless of the previous life or this life, Liu Hao has gone through such a battle. wiped a handful of tears, choked up and said to Yan Zhenqing: "Zhicai is less than anything, and I also ask Brother Qingchen to preside over the overall situation." ”

Yan Zhenqing wiped a handful of tears, snatched a set of filial piety clothes and put it on himself: "Zhicai and I are like brothers, and your elders are also the elders of Qingchen." Zhicai, please mourn! After saying that, he ordered the remaining guards to take out the incense table from the carriage and put it on. Tell the spirits of the Liu clan in the sky, Zhicai is back, and the eldest lang of the Liu family is back!

The incense table was placed, but the offerings were not prepared in advance, only a few preserved fruits and pastries that were brought with the car. Lu Yue walked to the incense case and shouted angrily: "How do you use this thing to worship the ancestors? He turned his head and said to a guard beside him: "The team that took you went to find some prey outside the city, if you can't bring it, Lao Tzu will sacrifice you alive today!" ”

Every time a body was picked up, several Taoist priests held the ringing bell and recited the mantra of death, Liu San cried and shouted each other's names on the side, because of the reason why he used his hands to cover the corpse in the ruins of the broken wall, his hands were bloody, his face was covered with tears, snot, blood and mud, but he never bothered to wipe it off.

Baguio put on filial piety clothes and threw herself into Liu Hao's arms and cried bitterly, Liu Hao was also full of tears, forgetting to do anything, just stupidly watching everyone busy. He had already thought of the scene that his family would not survive, but everything in front of him was completely unexpected. The others have never seen such a miserable scene, maybe only Lu Yue and them are better, but they are only limited to catching a snitch around Luoyang or something.

In his previous life, Liu Hao was just a small boss who opened a piano shop, teaching classes every day, and then going to make a girl with a few bad friends. When I came to Datang, what I saw was also a song and dance, but now Xinxiang City, like a major earthquake in the previous life, is scattered with broken arms and stumps everywhere, and some can't even tell which part of the human body it is.

I don't know how long it took, Yan Zhenqing walked up to Liu Hao and pushed him: "Zhicai, the things for worship have been prepared, and all the bodies of the Liu family have been taken out, but according to Liu Huwei, there are still the bones of the head of the young family and the old lady, you go and take a look." ”

Liu Hao stabilized his mind and pulled Baguio to the front of the incense case. Hundreds of corpses lay quietly on the ground, many of them were incomplete, and some even had only half of their bodies, and their faces could not be distinguished at all in the blurred flesh and blood. There were more than a hundred living people, and they were gone, many of them didn't look very old, and even two of them were still wrapped in swaddling clothes. This is a plague, this is clearly looted by thieves!

Lu Yue said to the people around him: "Send two more teams of men and horses to the north mountain to see if there are any thieves." ”

Not far away, Liu San seemed to have picked up something, and shouted to Liu Hao in a dumb voice: "Young master! This is the ancestral hall of the family! I dug up the tablet! ”

Liu Hao and a group of them hurried over, Lu Yue's subordinates picked up around without commanding, Yan Zhenqing and a few Taoist priests took the dug tablets and carefully wiped them, all of which were placed on the incense case according to their seniority. At this time, several soldiers dug out several tablets that seemed to be newly made, and Liu San knelt down after reading them: "This is the tablet of the old lady, the head of the family, and the master mother!" ”

Liu Hao listened to the "buzz" in his brain and jumped out of many memories that originally belonged to this body, the care of his parents when he was a child, the pampering of his grandfather, and the love of the whole family, as Liu Hao grew up and became more and more deep. The screen switches to a middle-aged man telling him about his experience in doing business, and finally asks Liu Hao to go to Luoyang alone to try to do a business. This person is obviously the father of the original owner of Liu Hao's body. At the end of the picture, an old man on crutches sees him off at the city gate.

"Ahh Liu Hao held his head in both hands, and the sudden headache made him unable to stand, and he rolled on the ground vigorously. Everyone was frightened, Lu Yue and Liu San hurriedly held Liu Hao down, and several Taoist priests who were proficient in medical skills hurriedly gave him a pulse, and after a few people communicated, a Taoist priest took out a small leather bag, pinched out a silver needle and pierced it on an acupuncture point on the back of Liu Hao's neck, and the pain was suddenly reduced.

"Don't be too sad, it's better to finish the worship first!" Yan Zhenqing's voice was hoarse.

When Baguio helped Liu Hao and was about to worship, a team of scouts sent out earlier galloped over on horseback: "Report! Camps were found in the east, south, and north ten miles, and only a few old men were found in the east camp, and the others were empty. ”

Lu Yue hurriedly asked, "Where are those people now?" ”

"Taken out of the city."

"Hurry up, I have something to ask!"

A few white-haired old soldiers trembled towards Liu Hao and them in the midst of several cavalry guards, and their miserable appearance still had a little Tang Dynasty military demeanor, which was simply incomparable to the group of subordinates of Lu Yue next to them.

Without waiting for those people to come to him, Lu Yue strode over, grabbed the placket of one person's clothes and pointed at the corpse on the ground and shouted angrily, "What happened here? Didn't you say the plague? Why do these people look like this? ”

This old man didn't look very thin, but he was lifted up by the angry Lu Yue, and he danced in the air and begged for mercy: "The general is angry!" The general is angry! The small ones all say, the small ones all say ・・・・・・"

When Lu Yue threw him to the ground, the old man gasped for a long time before he was able to breathe, and he clenched his fists and said:

"The small one was originally the defenders of Yanjin. A few years ago, there was a sudden outbreak of plague in this place. We, the defenders of Yanjin, were ordered to come and defend this place, and not let anyone enter or leave. But soon after, the plague became more and more severe, and the doctor sent by the boss was nowhere to be found, and soldiers were infected in several military camps, and the new lieutenant at that time ordered that all the infected soldiers be sent to the city. The brothers in the camp knew that they were afraid that the entire people in Xinxiang City had been abandoned by their superiors. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes: "Just after the New Year, several people in charge of the Liu family, a wealthy family in the city, were infected and feared that their lives would not be long in coming. He gave the defenders a lot of money and asked them to be buried in their ancestral graves outside the city after returning to heaven. At that time, several officials in the garrison agreed, but when the body was transported out of the city, the people who had long been out of food and drink suddenly rushed out, and several officials were afraid that these people would bring the epidemic to other places, so they ordered those who rushed out to be killed on the spot. ”

He closed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a painful memory: "In this way, the people in the city will no longer rush out, and the remains of the Liu clan will also have to be buried." But before February, more and more brothers in the camp were infected, more and more people were imprisoned in the city, and there was no food and drink in the city. In his madness, he began to kill people and demolish houses in an attempt to find food. After the Liu family fell, this group of soldiers changed to another family, and more and more people in the city followed them to grab food and kill people. ”

At this time, the old pawn could no longer cry, squatting on the ground and holding his head in his hands: "After all the houses in the city were stripped of all, hunger made them even more crazy and began to eat human flesh. The officials in the battalion could not bear this, so they ordered all these men to be killed, and after the killing, there was not a single living person left in the city. After burying the infected corpses, the camp split into three and retreated ten miles, for fear that if someone strayed into the place and take the plague with them. Half a month ago, there were still people in the camp who were infected, and several officials who were also infected consulted and took them deep into the mountains to the north, thinking that they were all dead now. ”

A Taoist priest asked, "Why didn't any of you go?" ”

"A few of us and others had suffered from the plague in their early years and did not die, so they were not infected this time, so they stayed here and waited for the order. A few days ago, a doctor came here to check and say that the epidemic had been resolved, and since that day on, I have not guarded the city gate anymore, and stayed in the camp every day. The old man wiped the tears and snot from his face, as if he had no strength in his body, and sat on the ground, unable to even speak.

After listening to him, a group of people were silent.

Liu Hao can imagine the tragedy at that time: when the group of soldiers raised the knives in their hands and slashed at their former comrades-in-arms and poor people, when everyone knew that they were infected and resolutely walked to the depths of the mountains, that helplessness and determination were the enthusiasm and belief of a soldier for Datang and this nation.

It's just that a group of third-rate city defense soldiers who are not even qualified to go to the battlefield have such an awareness, no wonder Datang can reach unparalleled heights in history and create a prosperous era for all countries to come! Thinking of this, Liu Hao endured his headache and bowed deeply to the Taihang Mountain in the north, they are the real soldiers.
