Chapter 12: Death by Injury
Blood is the blood in one's own body, which was originally bound in one's own body by one's own skin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The crimson little bit of liquid carries its own life. I never imagined that I would be pierced in the chest by a spear at this time. However, it was real, he had seen his blood oozing from his body, and the sharp pain coming from his right chest had made his feelings unclear. She knew her power was ticking, and she knew she was going to die tonight. If it's dead, it's dead. However, there was something inexplicable in her heart: the person who killed her was that person's soldier. It was really suffocating to her, maybe the man had forgotten his original promise. After all, he is now a prince on the side of the Megatron, and he has to fight for the world as his own responsibility, maybe he can't remember these little things. But she clearly remembered that even if she got married and married someone else, she never forgot that once under the big tree in front of her house, a twenty-year-old heroic young man took the hand of a girl who was only ten years old and said: "You are my Mengde's sister, and I will not allow others to bully you in this life and this life." ā
Alas, the world is as fleeting as falling flowers. The young man who made the oath was soon promoted to filial piety and entered the career of the Han Dynasty. And she, a civilian girl who is nothing, also understands her life experience as she grows older. It was her adoptive mother who told her before she died: "I am not your biological mother, I am only your nursing mother." You are not the daughter of an ordinary family, but the daughter of Li Ying, a righteous man who was famous all over the world in the past. It's a family of eunuchs. Your father was originally the lieutenant of Luoyang City, but because of his integrity, he refused to buy the eunuch's account, and was framed twice. At first, he was imprisoned in his hometown and was not allowed to be an official, and later he was secretly detained and killed by eunuchs and exiled by his family, and robbed and killed him halfway through. At that time, you were spared because I carried it home on the spur of the moment. You're a girl, and I can't ask anything of you. I just want you not to continue with the eunuch next door in the future, find a clean white family to marry, have a son, and let him avenge your parents again. Remember, your whole family was killed by eunuchs. ā
A sentence shattered the childhood dream of a girl. Faced with her adoptive mother's dying words and her biological parents' bitter hatred, she had to go against her original intentions and give in. So she married herself to the son of a merchant when she was sixteen. Although her husband is not as good as the person she thinks he is, he is also very good to her. Five years later, she gave birth to a daughter of her own. Because she is not a son, she doesn't want to rush to take revenge, but hides it deep in her heart.
I thought I could bring this secret to my daughter when she grew up. However, in 189, three years after the birth of a daughter, great changes occurred in Luoyang. In order to avoid the oppression of the Kwantung coalition army, Dong Zhuo ordered the capital to be moved and Luoyang City burned. At that time, in order to enrich his army, he connived at the sergeants to rob the people. It was really a catastrophe, in that catastrophe, she lost her husband, reluctantly took her daughter and a few personal maids to follow a group of lucky homeless people to escape Dong Zhuo, came to Xuzhou, opened this Surabaya residence, in order to seek a new life.
Surviving in the troubled times is the most important thing, after a few years of stable life, and suddenly suffering from war and chaos, she has forgotten the words that she wanted to take revenge at the beginning. She is just a little woman, just thinking about living peacefully, and then seeing her daughter grow up, become an adult, get married, give birth to children, and finally live her ordinary life in the bitter tears of her children and grandchildren.
This is the most ordinary dream of ordinary people, but it is impossible after all. She is not an ordinary woman, originally in her husband's house, she used to read for pleasure. After opening the Surabaya residence and becoming a businessman, she heard more about the world from the ears of her guests. Based on her own understanding, she knew the fact that there was a troubled world in front of her.
"In troubled times, wanting to be an ordinary person is the most unrealistic idea. Either you become strong and live on the heads of ordinary people, or you become a slave and a subordinate of the strong. This is her understanding of the way of the world. Although she is a woman, she is also secretly searching for guests passing by, hoping to find a member of the strong among them.
After several years of searching, Surabaya Ju is getting bigger and bigger, but she has never found a strong person who can be attached. She was a little discouraged, thinking that she would be so ordinary, when her daughter brought her the strange teenager.
The one named Li Sheng was really weirdly tight: he had a crisp short hair, but he was completely different from the people of the world. However, these are all so-called things at the end of the branches, and what really makes me feel tempted is the unique momentum on his body. It was a calm gaze with the spirit of looking down on the world. Mrs. Li has read countless people, and naturally understands that people with such momentum are not ordinary people. Although Li Sheng's age is a little younger, it is like the one God rewarded her, and it is all the same as her appetite.
"He is a man, also surnamed Li, and he has such an extraordinary momentum." On these three points, Mrs. Li decided to take him in. Although she did not tell Li Sheng about the direct matter, she had quietly gone to the county government to help Li Sheng handle the household registration a month after Li Sheng moved into Surabaya.
"Li Sheng, whose ancestral home is Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, his father Li Qin, and his mother Wang, due to the early death of his parents, were raised by his aunt Li Xiu." This is the identity she handled for Li Sheng. From then on, in terms of legal theory, Li Sheng is her nephew, the cousin of her daughter Li Zhong, and maybe he will become Li Zhong's husband when he grows up. In this era, it is common to kiss and kiss, and with such an "excellent" Li Sheng, Mrs. Li doesn't want him to be pulled away by others. She also expects Li Sheng to be able to take care of her family when she is developed in the future. In troubled times, people always have to think about themselves.
After handling the identity, she waited for Li Sheng to be crowned in the twentieth year after six years, and she would officially help him add his name to the Li family's genealogy. As soon as the name goes up, Li Sheng will officially become a descendant of the Li family, and the glory and disgrace in the future will be at least a better guarantee in terms of law and morality.
However, at this time, Cao Cao's attack on Xuzhou happened. She had to flee in order to survive, fearing that the important genealogical spiritual position of the top would be taken away by someone in the process of exile, so she handed it over to her daughter according to the idea of reverse thinking, intending to protect this thing well in the escape. But I don't want my daughter to forget, so things have changed so much.
Is it providence? She doesn't understand. Over the years, she also feels that her heart has changed a little, becoming a little utilitarian and no longer as innocent as she was at the beginning. Perhaps, this is what is necessary for a person to grow.
O sorrow! Looking back on this body, I feel that everything is a little unreal. Is this true or false, is it really as the Buddha said, and is everything empty? Fatigue hit her like waves on the beach, and she felt sleepy, even though she knew in her heart that she would never wake up as soon as she closed her eyes because of the fatigue. Burdened with the idea of revenge, she felt that she was too tired and tired in this life. Is it okay to just sleep like this? After all, it will be quiet, you won't have to think about anything, and you won't have to bear any dangers. She thought, sighed, and her eyelids slowly sank.
To sink like this is to die. Although Mrs. Li gave up on herself, the people around her did not. Li Sheng shook Mrs. Li's arm vigorously, trying to wake her up. Although Li Sheng himself understood that it was just a futile move, his emotions as a human being did not allow him to do nothing, just watching Mrs. Li die.
"Madame, wake up! Madam, the bell is still waiting for you to go back! He cried out, tears of panic and anxiety covering his face. It is said that "a man has tears and does not flick, but it is not time to be sad", at this moment, he really feels very sad about the death of his benefactor.
cried sincerely, so that Mrs. Li was woken up by Li Sheng faintly. She looked at Li Sheng's tearful face with sadness and helplessness, and said with a miserable smile: "I...... Cough...... I'm afraid it's already ...... Cough...... No more. That thing...... Ahem, I wanted to wait until you were twenty years old to finish it, but looking at the current situation, it is obvious that I will not be able to live to that time, so I can only do it for you first. In the future, this family can only be led by you. ā
"What's the matter?" Hearing Mrs. Li's strange words, Li Sheng hurriedly asked.
"Ahem...... Be...... This one. Mrs. Li struggled to sit up and spread out the genealogy in her hand, "I see that you are not an ordinary person, cough...... There may be something big going on in the future. However, in this era, it is not enough to be able to do great things, cough ...... So, ahem...... So I want to continue your name on this genealogy. This is to let my Li family have a future, so that it will not be finally cut off; Cough...... This is also a little selfishness of mine, and I want to restrain you with this, cough ...... Let you develop in the future, you can help me and make my down-and-out clan glorify. Cough...... cough ......, I think that my father Li Ying was the head of the world's famous party members, and he was also quite famous among the people, so he would never insult you, I don't know what you think? ā
"Madam, when you took me in Weimo, did you dare not repay this great grace? Li Yinggong's fame, eternal and famous, is a model for the world's corporals, let me inherit his clan, I am afraid that it will insult Li Yinggong. Li Sheng said humbly.
"So...... Cough...... Did you say yes? Mrs. Li's eyes suddenly brightened, and her voice brightened slightly. Although Li Sheng was still humble just now, the shrewd Mrs. Li still didn't see the approval under his words - "He's just worried that his future actions will discredit his father." In fact, he didn't see that the city in his heart was already beyond the reach of ordinary adults. When I was young, I was so powerful, and I was good at self-learning, so wouldn't I be even better when I grew up? ā
Mrs. Li is very optimistic about Li Sheng. She turned the genealogy to the last page, dipped her fingers in her own blood, and wrote a column of blood words directly under "Zi, Li Qin": "Qin Zisheng, because of the middle of the family, was raised by his aunt, and later because his aunt also died in the war, when he was dying, he recorded the sheng who had not yet learned in the family tree to show the meaning of the family." ā
"That's ...... Cough...... You're my nephew. Mrs. Li looked at him meaningfully, smiled sadly and said, "Alas...... Cough...... Now that you're my nephew, you should change that title as well. ā
"Yes...... Aunt. Facing Mrs. Li's face, which was gradually losing its blood, Li Sheng just cried and shouted.
"It's so good, I finally left a descendant for the Li family. Although I have not avenged my father's great revenge, but now that those eunuchs have long since died, this revenge must undoubtedly be let go. As for the affairs of the Guangda family, leave it to this nephew. Mrs. Li raised her head faintly, raised her hand, looked at the night sky that had already been reflected in bright red, compared to the stars in the sky, and muttered. Her strength was finally exhausted, and her voice became smaller and smaller. When her last word fell, her hand slapped off weakly, and there was no sound. She passed away suddenly, and no matter how much Li Sheng on the side called, it was useless.
Seeing the relatives he had just recognized die like this, Li Sheng couldn't help but feel sad. He cried very sadly when he attached himself to Mrs. Li's body, until Xu Ding, who had not come to interfere with them, felt that the situation was very critical and could not stay any longer, so he comforted him sharply: "The dead die, too much sorrow is useless." To live, to live better, is the hope of the dead elders for the living. If you don't want to disappoint your aunt, then it's time for us to go. ā
"Yes!" Li Sheng obediently stood up and wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, and then said to Xu Ding: "Sir, can you help me pick up my aunt's body and lend me Qingfeng?" ā
Borrowed a sword? Xu Ding couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "What do you want to do?" ā
"Revenge!" Li Sheng gritted his teeth and said these two words.
Looking at Li Sheng, whose face looked a little cold and hideous, and then at Huang Yan, who was laughing wildly over there, Xu Ding shook it gently, threw the sword in his hand to Li Sheng, and then picked up Mrs. Li's body. "I'll take the little kite to wait for you in front first, and you hurry up and catch up. Remember, don't let hatred obscure your eyes. He said loudly, taking the little kite's hand and walking towards the intersection of the tunnel.
"Thank you!" Li Sheng said in a deep voice. He didn't look back to see Xu Ding's departure, but coldly walked in front of Huang Yan with a sword that had been smashed and twisted by an iron spear.
Facing the enemy who was laughing wildly, Li Sheng smiled coldly with tears in his eyes. He didn't say much, just yelled: "Die!" He cut off Huang Yan's huge head fiercely.
"Ah......" That was Huang Yan's call before he died, and his wide-eyed head flew high, falling heavily to the ground, rolling to Li Sheng's feet. Looking at the lifeless head and the big eyes that were still waiting to be ridiculed, the anger in Li Sheng's heart was still not gone. He kicked the head straight into the courtyard wall.
With a "po......of", the head hit the hard stone wall, and suddenly exploded, and the red and white quickly bloomed to the ground, leaving not even the slightest trace of the original appearance.
"Humph!" Seeing such an ending, the anger in Li Sheng's chest calmed down a little. Although he thinks that this is only a part of the revenge, and it is not enough to completely satisfy himself by eliminating Cao Cao, the culprit who caused all this, but when he is still weak, he can only go away. He didn't want to run to assassinate Cao Cao in vain, so that he finally died.
"In fact, there are other ways to take revenge. One day, I will raise a large army and wipe out your Cao clan. When he walked quickly into the tunnel, Li Sheng secretly made up his mind.
Because the tunnel was dim and there was no one to lead the way and light the lights, Li Sheng stumbled and couldn't go fast. It wasn't until he was about to approach the ladder at the entrance of the cave that he caught up with Xu Ding in front.
"You said it would be better to put your aunt's body here? Or do you want to take it back to Hikomura? Li Shengjiao asked Xu Ding with a wink. Although it was the first time to kill someone, because it was his enemy, Li Sheng didn't feel much fear in his heart. When he asked Xu Ding, his face was always calm.
"Let's put it here. Now is the time to run for our lives, and we simply don't have time to deal with her death. Even if you take it back, you can only dispose of it hastily, so it is better to put it right here. After all, we don't know where Cao's army will attack. Xu Ding suggested to Li Sheng.
"That's right." Li Sheng was silent for a moment and then nodded in approval. Although he clearly knew that Cao Cao slaughtered the five counties of Xiaqiu, Pengcheng, Suiling, Worry, and Fuyang in Xuzhou, he only plundered in the area from Xiabillet to Xiaxiang and Dancheng, and did not capture more cities in Xuzhou, but here is only an approximation, maybe the "famous" Xu County is still relatively stable, as for the "nameless" Yancun is more or less a subordinate of Xiaqiu, if it is said that it is safe there, it is really not necessarily.
"But there's no coffin here." Li Sheng suddenly remembered this.
"Don't worry, I seem to see a sarcophagus in front of me." Xu Ding said calmly.
"Oh? Sarcophagus? Can Mr. Xu see in the dark? Li Sheng felt very strange about this.
"Well, I've practiced before." Xu Ding said lightly. He held Mrs. Li's body and led the way directly in front.
After turning around like this, Xu Ding suddenly stopped. "Here we are." He said.
"Where?" Li Sheng and Xiao Kite asked at the same time. They are untrained and cannot see anything in this total darkness.
"This is it." After Xu Ding answered, he handed Mrs. Li's body to Li Sheng and asked him to hold it, and then he suddenly shouted, as if he struck out a palm, knocking something away. Then a loud thud was heard, and the thing that had been knocked off fell to the ground heavily. Stirring up a cloud of confused dust.
"Ahem...... cough ...... "Li Sheng and Xiao Kite didn't check for a while, and they were choked by the dust and coughed repeatedly.
"Sir...... Cough...... What the hell are you doing? The little kite asked puzzled.
"Open the coffin!" Xu Ding's answer was very simple.
"Oh......" The two little ones came back to their senses and asked, "Do you need our help?" ā
"Hmm. This sarcophagus is empty, so bring Mrs. Li's body over and put it in. Xu Ding glanced at the situation inside the coffin and said.
"Okay." Li Sheng nodded hurriedly. The little kite on the side wanted to come over to help, but he stopped him: "You don't have enough strength, you can't move." As he spoke, he vigorously lifted Mrs. Li's body and placed it in the coffin. In the dark, he couldn't see Mrs. Li's face, but when he thought that he finally had a "relative" in this era, he couldn't help but cry silently.
"Childe is a person in temperament, but people die like lights go out, and all things are illusory, please don't be too sad." Xu Ding comforted Li Sheng while holding the coffin lid on the ground, "I'm going to close the coffin." ā
"Wait, let me take another look at my aunt." Li Sheng said. Although he couldn't see it in the darkness at all, the reluctance in his heart made him not want to leave here.
"Alas......" With such a sincere feeling, Xu Ding could only sigh. It was easy to wait for Li Sheng to reluctantly get up and ask Xu Ding to close the coffin lid, Xu Ding's arm holding the coffin lid was already faintly paralyzed.
"Heh, Childe, you really cry." In response, he could only smile bitterly.
"Hehe......" was said by others, Li Sheng was in tears, but he was a little embarrassed.
Close the lid of the coffin, and this is a farewell. Everyone looked a little gloomy. If it weren't for the fact that I still need to run for my life right now, I'm afraid everyone will cry here.
"Let's go." With a deep sigh, Xu Ding lowered his voice and said. He was the first to go.
"Hmm!" Li Sheng nodded, took the little kite's hand, and followed.
When I went up to the ground, the sky was already cloudy in the east. Standing on the mass graves full of graves, it was obvious that the fire in the city of Xiaqiu to the west had been extinguished. The whole city seemed to be gone, and only a faint afterglow of smoke emerged from the city. Although it was still a long way away, everyone on the hill could clearly see that Xiaqiu City had been destroyed.
"It's miserable!" Only when you really experience the scene of the massacre will you feel the horror of the massacre, and only when you really see Cao Cao's methods will you understand Cao Cao's rage, and in the face of Xiaqiu City, which has become a ruin in the west, the sadness and anger in Li Sheng's heart are indescribable. Because of Cao Cao, he lost his benefactor. Because of Cao Cao, he couldn't even hold the praise of his benefactor, so he could only flee vigorously. It's really helpless.
Xu Ding went to lead the horse, left Li Sheng and Xiao Kite here, and asked them to close the tunnel entrance. Xiao Kite didn't understand this, but Li Sheng, who had a strong memory, remembered Dong Zhuo of Mrs. Li clearly. He reached out and swirled the ball on the tombstone to close the tunnel according to the method that Mrs. Li had used to open the tunnel. He sighed deeply as he watched the heavy stone slab slowly close. The air on the ground was obviously much more sober than in the tunnel, which made his head, which had been a bit of a fool since Mrs. Li's death, and he always felt that something in his heart was stuffed in it, and he felt that he wanted to vent.
He looked down at the sword he was holding in his hand, and his heart suddenly moved. He looked around, and after searching for a circle, he landed on a large rock not far to his left. It wasn't like a stone, it was flat, like a stone, and it was just right to write on it.
"Mr. Xu!" Seeing Xu Ding coming over with the two horses stored in the woods, Li Sheng called.
"What's the matter?" Xu Ding walked up to Li Sheng and asked.
"Can you help me carve some words on that?" Li Sheng pointed to the stone wall and said, "You should be fine if you are a master of swordsmanship." ā
"What about up?" Xu Ding took a look and had some questions in his heart: "How did you think of writing?" ā
"Cao Cao has done such things in Xuzhou, I want to leave him a piece of evidence in this world, which is more or less a vent of dissatisfaction with him." Li Sheng said calmly.
"Yes! That's fine. Xu Ding agreed. He walked to the front of the green wall, stood still, and said to Li Sheng without looking back: "You can start, you read and I write." ā
"Good!" Li Sheng took a deep breath and opened his mouth in a deep voice: "Scold Meng De."
Xuzhou is rich over one million, and Cao Bing will rest once he arrives.
White clothes and white armor cover the sky, and revenge and blood hatred are like locusts.
He said that he was filial and virtuous, and he did everything he could.
Dripping blood knife to the people, a hundred miles of prosperity turned into smoke.
Only my father is a human being, and all my people are the same ants.
The cycle of cause and effect is continuous, and it is always called Ru Cao Jiu Clan.
You Cao Cao and his wife are not human! ā
Li Sheng said smoothly, and Xu Ding carved on the stone wall like lightning and flint at a fast speed. Originally, he couldn't do this with his skills, but because of the sharp edge in his hand, he did it very easily.
Li Sheng's poem is half literate and half white, so that even a person who knows a lot of writing and ink can easily understand the meaning of the poem. Especially the last sentence, which is simply a vulgar curse, but it really makes people feel refreshed when they are placed here.
"How?" After speaking, it was also finished, and Li Sheng and Xu Ding asked each other in unison.
"That's good." For such a neat question, they were slightly stunned at first, but they also replied neatly. Then he burst out laughing. This smile dispelled the shadow of last night in the hearts of the two.
Although they still have sadness for last night in their hearts, they are not worried about the future now. "Everything will be fine." This has become a belief in their hearts.
"Auntie, rest in peace. When I come here again one day, I will honor you with Cao Cao's head. Li Sheng secretly made this oath in his heart. Although he also admitted that Cao Cao was indeed very powerful, he was not very afraid of Cao Cao. Because he felt that compared with Cao Cao, his advantage was still very great. At least Cao Cao couldn't have had as many "whimsical ideas" as he did.
