The Baiyue Xiou people, a terrible and cruel race.

When the Qin army raised the butcher's knife and swung it at the unarmed women and children, no one showed fear in their eyes.

Men, women, the elderly, and even children as tall as half a human can hold up anything they can pick up and resist. Harpoons, wooden forks, poles, and even stones, as long as they can be used as weapons, there is everything.

The battle-hardened Qin army was shocked by such brutality, however, these were just villagers, villagers who had no force or weapons.

It only took a few breaths of effort, blood drank the butcher's knife, and drip into the soil under his feet.

The villagers who were chased into the mountains and forests climbed the tall trees in an instant like monkeys, and countless arrows shot out through the air, shooting down these southern barbarians one by one.

Struggling, being pierced by an arrow like a hedgehog, he could still pounce on Qin Bing with blood-red eyes. What the hell is this creature? Is this a human? The general said that they would come back to life as long as their feet touched the ground, no, they had to be hanged.

Oh, yes. Gotta hang up. As a result, the corpses of villagers were strangled by the Qin soldiers with ropes and hung on trees like dried meat.

The Xi'ou army quietly submerged into the dense forest, and the pungent bloody atmosphere was so thick that it covered the original grass atmosphere of the mountain forest. The whole world is like purgatory on earth, and the corpses hanging from the trees have long since lost their breath.

Scavenging birds nibbled on the gifts of war, and in their eyes it was a grand feast. The corpse was pecked open, and blood was still oozing out. One drop or two drops, dripping on the heads of the Xiou soldiers who had just come here.

They looked up, shocked, angry, and devastated, and they wanted to burst out and kill. Kill all the murderers of their kind...

... On the three poles of the sun, inside the earthen house, on the haystack, the god woke up from a nightmare.

Hideous corpses after corpses, bloody eyes after pairs, drops of putrid blood that were about to coagulate... She could hear their dying roars, cries of despair that could not fight linger in her mind.

She gasped for air, gathered her mind little by little, blinked, and got up from the haystack. Pick up the dry grass that gets on your clothes and go outside. The boy sat on the ridge in the doorway and looked back at her with a big smile.

"Ah Rong, are you going to kill it at night? I'm going too. The boy stood up and patted the dust behind him.

The two walked side by side to the stream, drank a cow, and washed their faces. Shen Rong glanced at the young man, and pursed the corner of his lips.

"Ah Rong, this is for you. The young man took out the crystal wrapped in the cloth strip and leaned in front of her, "June found it, it's bitter and tight, but it tastes." ”

Shen Rong glanced at the crystal, the look of surprise in his eyes flashed, and he put it away with a smile and put it back in the young man's hand, "You keep the salt, and when I come back, barbecue and eat." ”

Speaking simply, the young man understood, and stepped in front of her angrily, "Ah Cheng, I'm nineteen years old, and other people's sons and daughters are nineteen years old, I just don't want to worry." I don't care, I'm going with you. ”

Shen Rong didn't say anything, nodded and said, "Yayoi, I want to eat cattail grass, you go to the edge of the forest to pick a little." ”

The young man frowned slightly, but he didn't think too much about it, turned around and ran to the earthen house, picked up a rag, and ran to the foot of the forest.

Pu Zicao, now called Mother-in-law.

The appearance of 2,000 years ago is no different from the present world, and as for the taste, it is actually not very good. The bitterness of the grass without seasoning is stronger.

The boy didn't know why she loved the strange smell, and it wasn't until later that he realized that she didn't really like it, but just wanted to leave him more food.

The boy left, and Ji Rongyuan came. Pulling her into the house, he took out a sharp dagger from his bosom and shoved it into her hand.

Shen Rong looked at the short sword in his hand, then looked at Ji Rongyuan, didn't say anything else, took out an extremely ordinary dagger from his arms and put it in Ji Rongyuan's hand.

Then, Shen Rong took off the wooden hairpin with the long hair and handed it to him, "This is what my mother left, if I can't come back, help me give it to Yayoi." ”

Ji Rongyuan put the two things into the inner pocket of the placket and raised his eyes to look at her, "Ah Rong, you promise me that you will definitely come back!"

Silent. Nothing else was spoken.

At that time, people's lives were very cheap, and the lives of people in Xiou were even cheaper.

When the world has not yet returned to Qin, the state of Chu has sent troops to recruit many times, fighting back and forth, and the superior person is firmly seated in Mount Tai, and the bones under 'Mount Tai' are full of blood and rivers.

Ants, when they die, new ants will be born. Wait until you are old enough to fill in the mountains. This seemed to be the irreversible fate of most people at that time.

The people are like the leeks planted by the Wang family, and when the time comes, they will cut a stubble. How many people can live past the age of 30? Most of them have already stepped into the coffin with half a foot when they reach fifteen or sixteen.

The Baiyue Xiou people, the simple mountain people who originally lived in the jungle and mountains, were all forced to become beasts that were not afraid of death.

Because they don't want to be harvested like leeks, they want to live like ants.

They were originally the most primitive and clean people who lived peacefully with nature in the jungle, relying on the mountains and rivers to eat the rivers, so why should they be enslaved by others?

The state of Chu has been destroyed! Has it been destroyed? Is there no one to fight us? Qin army? The Qin army has come all the way to fight us?

Why? What did we do wrong? We just want to catch wild boars in the mountains and forests, catch rabbits, go to the stream to catch fish, can't that be?

No, the whole world is not the king's land. If you don't obey, you die!

If you die, you will die, and if you are obedient, you will have to die, then I will be disobedient. Our lives are cheap, and we must be cheap with dignity. Cheap should also be cheap and have backbone, not weeds that you can cut if you want.

Yes, there must be dignity! Although God does not know a few big characters, he does not understand what dignity is. But she knew very well in her heart that the people of Xiou were not afraid of death.

"Rong Yuan, do you think that we Yayoi will definitely be able to do great things in the future. You've got to help me keep an eye on him, you've got to watch him!"

Ji Rongyuan was silent and couldn't say a word. He knew that she was a man of her word, she was brave and decisive, and she never did anything senseless. She didn't say much meaningless words, however, at this time, she rarely said such words. She was prepared for the worst.

In fact, why is he not? It's just that hesitant by nature and not decisive enough, and although he is about to come to the last moment, he still hopes for something impossible in his heart.

At that time, there was no word for miracle, and it was much later that he realized that what he was looking forward to was called a miracle.

However, a miracle really happened! It's just that it's too late.

That night, the sister and brother took a handful of pampas grass, stuffed a mouthful of meat and licked the bitter salt stone. It tastes good.

"Yayoi. ”

"Huh?"

"Can't you call me Sister?"20

"I don't shout. ”

When you were a child, you liked to follow your sister to the mountains and forests to catch rabbits, cut cattails and pick mills. Why don't you call a sister now?"

"You said it, it was when I was a kid. ”

"No matter how old you are, here in Sister, you are also that little Yayoi. ”

"Little... Don't call me Yayoi, I'm an adult, and if I still shout like that, others will laugh at me.

You don't know the wolf picture and gray fangs, they laugh at me for relying on the Xi'ou army that can only be entered with you. I'll call you again... What, don't be laughed to death. ”

"Don't listen to their nonsense, go your own way. Yayoi, Sister believes that you will be able to do great things!"

In the faint light of the fire, the boy looked at his eldest sister steadily.

There were four of them, and now they were the only ones left. The second brother and the third brother are dead, and he is left with this eldest sister.

The two are seven years apart, so she lets him do anything, but at the same time she is very strict with him. Being lazy and being found out is a violent beating, and no matter how old he gets, he still hits the door in front of him regardless of it.

After a long time, he finally figured it out.

She already knew that she couldn't protect him for the rest of her life, she would leave, and after leaving, his life would have to be guarded by himself. No one can stand by his side all the time like her, like a totem that is inviolable.

Much later, when he turned around and could no longer see the figure standing beside him, he realized what he had lost!

The boy in the firelight was delighted. She rarely praised him, and always scolded him for the instability of the end of the knife, the lack of arrows, and the lack of arm strength...

"Ah Cheng, you said that in the future, I can also lead the Xi'ou army like Brother Jun, how majestic, I will definitely get you a decent set of armor when the time comes. ”

The young man looked forward to the great future in his imagination, and raised his chin triumphantly at the eldest sister.

'Snap' a very thin bamboo branch was thrown at him, and he quickly caught it. The boy's eyes lit up, and he was speechless with joy.

"Blowing arrows is very useful, but you must be careful, Rong Yuan's poison is very powerful, don't kill the enemy yourself first. After eating the last piece of meat, Shen Rong wrapped the crystals back into the cloth and handed them to the boy.

After washing in the stream, the two walked to the grass hut. At this time, Ji Rongyuan, Ji Jun and others were already waiting in the house.

Without even talking superfluously, several people checked their weapons, wiped their faces and hands with black mud, and smeared all the exposed skin.

The group walked out of the house, and Ji Rongyuan took a deep look at Shen Rong. Needless to say, she understands. In response to his gaze, he only nodded. Turn your head and sink into the darkness.

Countless Xiou soldiers were waiting in the dense forest, and a clear low sound sounded. Those who don't know will think it's from some kind of forest bird, but it's a secret number between them. A secret number that every Xiou person understands.

"Yayoi, you go with Uncle Hun Chang. Don't follow me. Shen Ying pointed to the older man at the back of the line and whispered to the young man.

The boy was stunned for only a moment, then stopped in silence.

Her figure grew farther and farther away from him, farther and farther away, and in a moment she was no longer visible. At this moment, the young man suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart.

He suddenly wanted to run up and call her 'Sister'.

However, it was too late.

The prelude to the Night Thorn has begun, and if he acts privately, he will put everyone in a terrible crisis.

He didn't understand why he couldn't be by her side, and didn't she always be by his side in every battle? Because, on the battlefield, her words are the highest military orders.

"Yayoi. Uncle Hun at the end of the team patted him and pulled his somewhat distracted mind back. "Keep up, we're the tail, and when the time comes, it's our business to wrap up and kill, don't be a flash. I'm going to die!"

Uncle Hun Chang's words aroused the killing intent in the young man's heart. His eyebrows jumped, and he bowed his head in silence and followed the team as he hurried through the dense jungle bushes.

With the secret call of the chirp, the journey stopped, stopped, stopped, and finally came to a camp in the light of fire.

Night thorns, there are not many people, but fine.

Qing Yishui is the best soldier in the Xiou army. Led by the general Jijun, three top assassins, and the other more than 700 people are divided into five teams of 100 people, and a team of 200 people is the tail.

One team rushed straight to the camp gate, led the Qin soldiers to attack, and two teams on the left and right outflanked. Then divide into two teams to pack and rush back, and hit back and forth.

The tail pressing team where Kita Yayoi was located hid around the mountains and forests to support and advance according to the situation, or attack and kill the pursuing Qin army.

The strategy was decided by the wise man Ji Rongyuan and Ji Jun, but they all knew that in fact it was a dangerous move.

Seven hundred versus three thousand, first of all, there is a huge gap in numbers, and secondly, this is offensive rather than defensive.

The Qin army camped at the other end of the dense forest, but they did not rush through the dense forest to attack their side first, firstly, because the other party did not know the exact strength of their own side, and secondly, the dense forest was too dangerous for them.

The most important thing is that it is obviously the safest to defend compared to attack. They are waiting for support, once a large number of Qin troops come to this mountain forest, then, the number of Ou troops in the west is not enough to catch turtles in the urn.

In the dark night, there was an occasional sound of rustling in the dense forest. But the voice was so faint that it didn't attract the attention of the patrols and scouts roaming the perimeter of the camp.

Suddenly, a cold light lit up. A scout who was relieving himself fell to the ground, and another cold light lurked the soldier with his back to the dense forest...

Under one cold light after another, all the Qin soldiers on the periphery of the entire camp had been cleaned up.

The secret horn sounded, and the Xiou soldiers hidden in the darkness quietly touched the interior of the camp.

After a while, I heard screams and shouts of killing inside.

According to the plan, the bait soldiers did not fall in love with the fight, and when they were almost killed, they turned around and quickly ran out of the camp, knocking over everything they could touch in the camp as they ran.

When he ascended, a fire burst into flames, and the thick and dry wooden strips were the flames' favorite 'food'.

The flames greedily devoured everything it could touch, including the soldiers on both sides who were running away and in hot pursuit.

When a Qin soldier fell to the ground, someone surrounded him to help extinguish the fire on his body, and a few Xiou soldiers who were on fire in the process of escaping raised their eyes to look at the back of their companions in the distance. turned around and threw himself at the Qin army behind him...

Burn, die, and hell together!
