The black smoke is getting more and more, which means that the fire in the village has gradually spread, and the destruction of the village is irretrievable. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 With the gentle autumn breeze, Rose is keenly aware of all kinds of sounds: the roar of a man, the wail of a woman, the cry of a child, the howl of a bandit, the ecstasy of finding a treasure, the grief of a lost treasure, the struggle of a dying man, the battle cry of a wrestler, and the sound of a rough order.
Rose listened intently to the person who might be the leader issuing the order: "You guys, half go to the head of the village, half go to the end of the village, and the rest of the people follow me, let's go to the big house!" ”
Rose thought for a moment, unable to figure out how she could split the two halves and leave someone left, but she quickly gave up on the unsolvable problem and thought of a solution.
The organization of the horse thieves and bandits is very chaotic, and there may be a formation and formation when they fight, and if they start to rob, it will be absolutely impossible to stop. These people are like a pack of jackals, they gather together in order to survive, and they may hug each other when facing a powerful enemy, but once they have hunted their prey, they will start to fight with each other, and there is no discipline at all.
No matter how many undisciplined enemies there are, it is not terrible, even if they can't be beaten and discovered, there will not be many people chasing them.
Rose hid herself in a thatched hut that had not yet burned, and quietly asked Wang Tao, "Where is your home?" ”
"The compound at the end of the village is one with two big unicorns at the door!" Wang Tao's face was calm, this ten-year-old boy showed excellent self-control in the face of catastrophe and bereavement, and the pain that penetrated deep into the bone marrow seemed to be transformed into Tao Tao's hatred, which was deeply stored in his heart.
"Good! I'll take you to see it, and if you can't do anything, we'll go, you promise me! ”
"I promise you, I'll keep my useful body and kill them all!" Wang Tao's gaze was calm, without any fluctuations.
The village was full of surging horse thieves, carrying silk on their shoulders and gold and silver jewels pinned to their waists, apparently taken from the rich men of the village. But after all, this is only a small village, and many horse thieves carry even low-value cloth, meat, eggs, and raw silk with them, and do not let go of any of the trophies. They also drove the cattle of the village together, and these cattle and free-range goats were very docile, and even when they saw their masters slaughtered, they did not show any hatred, but only followed the direction indicated by the horse thieves. As for the chickens and ducks that had no mobility, they were directly killed and bloodletted, and the remaining corpses were packed in bags that could be taken back for dinner.
They are professional raiders and have not spared any resources that may be exploited.
After the plunder, it was destruction, they lit torches, galloped through the village, and when they saw the house, they threw a torch at it, the thatched house was very flammable, and God seemed to want to see the scene of red flames in the sky, the wind was not strong or small, and it was suitable for killing people and setting fires. So in just a few breaths, the whole house turned into a torch.
The village was on fire.
Rose walked against the corner of the wall, trying to let the shadow of the room cover her figure, although Wang Tao behind him was obese, but now the horse thief was fascinated by the pleasure of murder and arson, and there was no time to pay attention to the two children, so Rose with the oil bottle sneaked to the end of the village safely. On both sides of the huge black-headed gate are two drums engraved with unicorns, and the courtyard is nearly 100 meters deep
The royal family's mansion was built quite grandly, divided into two courtyards, east and west, and although the flames and soot obscured the original color of the red tiles, stone slabs, and stone pillars, Rose could still appreciate the grandeur of this mansion in its heyday. The door of the house is a huge black-headed door, and there are two drums engraved with a strange animal on both sides, which is probably the unicorn that Wang Tao said. The courtyard is more than ten zhang deep, and it is already crowded inside, and there are many horse thieves running and shouting inside, which is obviously a rush to get started.
"I can't get in the front, do you have a back door in your house?" Seeing that the thieves gathered at the gate, if it weren't for the hard fight of the soldiers and horses, they would never have been able to kill them, Rose frowned and asked.
"The backyard has a low wall, so you should be able to climb in. Originally, there were more than a dozen family guards in my house, and these horse thieves should not have been able to get in! I guess they should have climbed in from behind! Wang Tao looked calm when analyzing the demise of his family, without a trace of wavering.
The backyard wall of the Wang family's mansion is stacked with red bricks, and the outside is thinly brushed with a layer of lime powder, because the gaps are not filled with materials, the gaps between the brick walls are very obvious, and they can also accommodate a finger, which is very suitable for climbing.
"I really didn't guess wrong, you see, the wall over there has been trampled on black, and the thieves must have climbed in from here!" Wang Tao pointed to the footprints on the wall and analyzed.
Rose looked left and right, there was no one to guard, and I thought about it, they had broken through the defenses of this family, and there was no armed force in the small village, where did anyone need to stay? If there is really someone left, I am afraid that when I rob, I will lose my share, and no one is willing to do such a loss-making business.
Rose went to the wall over which the thief had climbed and compared it carefully, and the brick wall was about five feet high, which was not much higher than hers, and it was not a problem for an adult horse thief. She looked back at Wang Tao again: "Can you climb in?" ”
"Me?" Wang Tao looked at the wall, which was quite tall for him, and then looked at his almost cylindrical figure, and said hatefully: "Big brother, pull me up!" ”
"Okay." Rose answered, took a few steps back, and scurried up the wall, moving as lightly as a waterfowl. She lowered her head, leaned over, and vigilantly observed the backyard, but found nothing abnormal, then turned her head to look at Wang Tao and stretched out her hand to pull him up.
Rose never cared about "whether men and women give or receive kisses", not to mention that her mother had read countless men, she had also seen countless men's nakedness, and knew the structure of every bone of their bones, the distribution of every inch of muscle, and the operation of every meridian, so what was the taboo?
Wang Tao looked at Rose's hand and was stunned for a moment, these hands were slender and strong, like the neck of a swan, and like the smooth wings of a golden eagle, but not like a man's hand.
"What are you stunned about?" Rose whispered.
"Oh!" Wang Tao grabbed his hand and pulled him up, but this Wang Tao ate too fat, maybe one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, this weight is a little difficult for the fourteen-year-old Rose, she blushed and pulled upward, Wang Tao's steel teeth clenched, as if he used the strength to eat, but he still couldn't go up.
"Big brother, I, I, I can't seem to go up!" Wang Tao's face was as red as the old man Guan in the temple, his face was hideous, and all the fat was trembling vigorously, as if he had epilepsy.
"Hard, don't you want to save your father?" Rose whispered.
"I, I think!" Wang Tao kicked the ground hard, pulling the rose with one hand and the wall with the other, as if he was exerting all his strength, but the gravity of the ground was too great, no matter how hard he tried, he just shook in mid-air, like a person hanging from a tree.
"I, I can't, I can't-" Wang Tao held his breath, gritted his teeth, and stretched out this sentence from between his teeth.
"Men can't say no, you're still not a man!" Rose didn't expect to be stuck in the wall this level, can't help but be anxious and angry, if you delay here for a long time, maybe someone will be discovered, you can't advance or retreat on this wall, both of them have to die here, can't help but scolded fiercely: "Why are you useless?" I was kidnapped and asked for my life, my parents were killed and I wanted to take revenge, but I couldn't even get past the wall, do you still want to kill me? ”
These words were ruthless and heavy, like a fuse, which ignited Wang Tao's anger at once, he fell down hard, stepped on the ground, stomped hard, and then rushed up violently, Rose took the opportunity to exert force, and finally pulled him up. But Wang Tao's weight was too heavy, which caused him to run up with too much force, not only did he not stop after jumping over the wall, but he actually turned over and fell straight down the wall!
Rose jumped off the wall lightly, like a white swan feather falling to the ground, and kicked Wang Tao with her toes: "Hey, are you dead?" If you die, I'll leave? ”
"No, I'm not dead, my Wang Tao's great cause has not been accomplished, how can I die in this place?" Wang Tao raised his head with difficulty, he had a big wound on his forehead that had been knocked on the ground, and now he was in close contact with the ground, and the original healing wound was cracked again, which made his face drenched with blood, and streams of blood were left from the wound on his forehead, turning his face into a pool of blood.
"Your face is covered in blood, wipe it quickly!" Rose pulled out a piece of cotton cloth from the pocket of her blouse, which she had sewn herself, and there were several pockets in it to store all kinds of practical tools. This cotton cloth was the one she originally used to bind her wounds.
"Thank you." Wang Tao took the cotton cloth, suddenly showed a puzzled face, sniffed hard, and then seemed to have found something, and sniffed it hard.
"What? Is this cloth bad? Master Da, your family is ruined now, don't pay attention to it! Seeing Wang Tao's strange face, Rose couldn't help but sneer when she saw Wang Tao's strange face, as if she was disgusting her cotton.
"No, no." Wang Tao's face turned strange red, wiped his forehead twice with a cotton cloth, and then bandaged his forehead, as if he was wearing linen and filial piety when he was mourning.
"Let's go!" Rose originally wanted to ridicule Wang Tao again for bringing this white cloth to her parents to wear linen and filial piety, but when she thought about it, the soft place in her heart was a little touched, this Wang Tao and herself have no grievances, why should she be forced to force each other, so she didn't say any more sarcasm.
is the same as the end of the world, why should they be bullied when they meet?
