Chapter 3 Shelter
The women and children, who were already weak, dug very slowly, and after a long time, they only dug a shallow layer.
A gust of autumn wind blew, blowing down the maple leaves in the sky, and everyone on the ground couldn't help but have their teeth rattling and shivering, and at this moment, the man in white from before stepped on.
"Rest and I'll come." When the women heard this, they first knelt down and thanked the man in white for saving his life, but at this time, they were not clothed and could not say anything more, so they had to walk towards the fire. The child refused to leave, but the man in white did not force him, only one hand led the child, and the other hand held the sword forward and pushed it out, only to see Gangfeng come out along the sword body, and in an instant there was a big pit about one zhang square and half a zhang deep in front of him. After doing this, he moved Xiao Xun's body over, and seeing that Xiao Xun was naked, the man in white took off his white robe and put it on Xiao Xun. The child followed him and hugged Kaoru's head. The child cried a lot......
"Is she your relative?" The man in white asked the child.
"Hmm." The child replied in the affirmative, wiping Kaoru's eyebrows and face with his sleeve. Kaoru's skull was covered in blood, as was the child's body, so it was hard to wipe it clean.
"Let's go to the river and wash ourselves." The man in white kindly reminded him that for him, watching a child get so close to a blood-stained head could not help but produce some strange and complicated emotions. The child listened to him, looked up at the river not far away, picked up Kaoru's head and walked straight over. The man in white didn't say anything more, just stood there quietly and waited for the child to return.
The child came back, the man in white looked at the washed head, and let out a sigh, this woman is so young, looking at her facial features, she must have been very beautiful in her life, but it is a pity that such a good year, she died early at the beginning of her life.
"Let's pick up some leaves and spread them at the bottom of the grave, there must be no coffins here." The man in white said, the child naturally did not allow anything, and soon spread a thick layer of maple leaves at the bottom of the grave.
At this time Zaisin returned, carrying a few hares in one hand, and some wild fruits in the front of his clothes in the other.
"Master, you're back, what happened over there? Have they all been killed? Zai Xin said as he handed over the hare mountain fruit to the women, and gave Yun Niang a short knife, apparently asking her to clean up the hares, and then walked quickly to the man in white.
"No, I told them to bury the bodies and let them go." The man in white replied.
"Why? Look at the evil things they have done, and they will die innocently! When Zai Xin heard that the master had released the mountain bandits, he couldn't help but accentuate his tone when he spoke, and he looked very angry.
"People have their own creation, although I have the ability to kill them all, but I don't have the right to do so, if you only kill people based on your own likes and dislikes, even if you believe that you are right, in the end there is probably nothing left except for a lot of blood, the cycle of heaven, good and evil are changeable, and who can always be right, I let them go is also to let them go is also to let them go into a creation, people's hearts are alternating between good and evil, and they may not be able to change their evil and return to righteousness. Now the outside world, the seven kingdoms attack each other, even the tribes in our mountains, there are fights from time to time, disputes between human beings, disputes between the spirit tribes, human beings and spirit tribes have been separated for thousands of years, many things are completely unreasonable, there are many originally good people who are forced by the world, either die tragically, or embark on the road of evil, to end all this, only with the sword in the hand is not enough, only to establish a reasonable order, can establish order for the world, must have great chance, luck, great perseverance of the supernatural talent, how can such a person appear so easily. Now Kyushu is in turmoil, although the spirit clan is in a corner of peace, but the people in the royal court have never abandoned the heart of entering Kyushu to re-dominate the world, and the spirit race that cannot be avoided has always been a big trouble for the countries of Kyushu, as long as the unification decree of Kyushu comes from one family, the boundaries of the spirit race and the human alliance thousands of years ago will be broken by human beings, and in the end it is still a war raging, this seems to be a dead end, maybe no one can solve it at all. All we can do as human beings is to always have compassion, and if we can't do that, the world will only be in chaos. The man in white said, couldn't help sighing, and said again, "This world, not only the world of the people of the Seven Kingdoms." ”
Master's sigh made Zai Xin a little speechless, he understood what the master said about the opposition between the Spirit Race and the Human Race, after all, as a Spirit Clan, he understood how eager the elders of the clan were to return to their homeland to worship their ancestors, and as for the war, he didn't care, he would fight if he wanted to. However, he really didn't know what compassion the master said for the evil thieves, and according to his nature, since the thieves should be killed, then they should all be killed, and he didn't listen to the master's previous remarks about good and evil.
"If you want to be merciful, then why did Master kill that bandit leader?" Zaisin asked, puzzled.
"Confused! Master teaches you to be compassionate! It's not to teach you to be pedantic! If you don't get rid of the first evil, how can that gang of bandits take warning! What an elm head! The man in white said angrily, a little angry. But after all, Zai Xin respected his master very much, and when he heard his master rebuke him, although he didn't feel that he was wrong, he still bowed his head and was trained.
"I'd better bury this woman first." After listening to the master's training of himself, Zai Xin pointed to Xiao Kaoru on the ground.
"Well, sew the head on first, so as not to be a lonely ghost, and I will take care of this child." The man in white said with some heaviness. I saw Zai Xin tear off a lock of silk thread from his clothes, and took off a decorated animal bone from his chest, and concentrated on sewing Kaoru's body and head together. During this time, the man in white was about to leave with the child in his arms, but the child insisted on refusing and watched quietly.
Xiao Kaoru, who had sewn his head on, was wearing a moon-white robe at this time, and if he didn't look at the sutures on his neck, he looked very peaceful and beautiful.
"Just wrap your sister around her neck, and her appearance will look better." After a while, the man in white took out a piece of white silk from his body, handed it to the child, and said.
Children do the same.
"This is Aunt Kaoru, not my sister." After wrapping the white silk around Xiao Xun's neck, the child thought that the man in white said that it was better looking, and he didn't forget to tie a beautiful knot on the white silk, and then quietly looked at Xiao Xun for a while, and then came out coldly.
"Oh, I heard you say that she is your relative, and I see that she is not very old, so I thought so, aren't you blood relatives?" The man in white answered.
"What is a blood relative? Aunt Kaoru and I met on the way to escape, and Aunt Kaoru treated me well, so naturally they are my relatives, and there are many kinds of relatives? The child said again.
"Blood relatives, it's your parents, and the brothers and sisters born to your parents." The man in white patiently explained.
"I don't know if I have parents or siblings, and if they do, they would all be dead." The child said and kissed Kaoru on the cheek. "Alright, let's bury Aunt Kaoru." The child also knows that people must be buried when they die, although he has seen too many unburied corpses, but there are dead people along the way to escape, and everyone will help bury them, so he naturally has such a consciousness. When Zai Xin heard this, he was not in a hurry to bury Kaoru, he first looked at the sky and prayed, and then sang a song that children, including the girls over there, could not understand, the song was desolate and long, and it was very soothing to people's hearts, and it drifted far away with the wind......
"This is the requiem of the spirit race, made by the ancient spirit princess Yuluo, according to legend, thousands of years ago, the human race and the spirit race was in Xizhou for the last battle, that is also the largest battle between the human race and the spirit race, the battle situation was tragic to describe as hell on earth is not an exaggeration, Princess Yuluo was the supreme commander of the spirit army, in the battlefield that is about to die and see the corpses all over the field sang this requiem. The most special thing about this requiem is that it not only soothes the souls of the fallen warriors of the Spirit Clan, but also the human soldiers who died in battle, and in the last moments of Princess Yuluo's life, she may not be thinking about the victory or defeat of the battle, but only the sad killing itself. The man in white explained to the children and the women after Zaisin had finished singing. The women were in tears when they sang in Zai Xin, but at this time they heard the man in white explain that they stopped their tears, they suffered a great disaster here, and they were lucky to be immortal, at this time, they not only got the soothing meaning of the thousand-year-old song, but also admired the great mind of Princess Yuluo, and more importantly, the people who can sing such a song and can say such a thing to them, will never abandon them, and everyone has a firm belief in living, compared to the drifting before coming here, It's not necessarily a good place to live.
A lone grave was erected in the maple forest. Kaoru's face is destined to become a scene that children will never forget, and even at the last moments when they are about to be completely covered in mud, children seem to see her bright smile in a trance.
Zai Xin later buried the dead mountain bandit's eldest brother, the yellow-faced mountain bandit, and the mountain bandit Xiao Wu who was killed by the child, but the burial place was far away from Kaoru's grave, and it would never disturb Kaoru's resting place. But I don't know what path they will go in an afterlife.
The women washed and skinned the hares, and the man in white stabbed a few fresh fish from the river, and roasted them directly on the fire.
"What are you going to do next, you have two lives here, it's better to go back with me first, and live with my wife and daughter for a while, then you have to stay and then make plans, but the situation on my side is more complicated and not a place to stay for a long time, if you choose to stay at that time, it is estimated that you can only be sent into the mountains and finally stay in Zaixin's tribe, at that time I will inform Zaixin's father, who is also the chief of the tribe, Zai Yu will take care of you, but the livelihood in the mountains is more difficult, and everyone in the tribe has to work and produce, I don't know what you think?" The man in white asked the women.
"It's all up to the benefactor's arrangement, we can survive is a blessing to God, to be able to live on our own strength and live safely is self-reliant, we must live well to repay the benefactor, and also return to God!" Yun Niang knelt down and bowed to the man in white and said.
"Get up and talk, don't kneel, I'm Jiang Bai, the word Huai'an, I'm a person from the Yin country, don't mention the benefactor or anything, I'm a few years older than you, you can call me Brother Jiang or call me Jiang Huai'an." I'm still far from here, and it will take a long time to go back with you. Saying that, Jiang Bai picked up Yun Niang, who was kneeling on the ground.
Yun Niang had a somewhat complicated look on her face when she heard Jiang Bai introduce herself, she probably knew the name, but she didn't say anything more. Jiang Bai observed her expression, and listened to her still be able to speak clearly after a sudden catastrophe, and also felt that she was not like the daughter of an ordinary family, maybe she knew the meaning of the words Jiang Bai of Yin Guo, so she paid a little attention. Everyone nodded slightly, Zai Xin led the way in front with the child on his back, and after Jiang Bai broke off, the group walked slowly......
Farther away, there was also a group of people walking, but it was the group of mountain bandits who were released by Jiang Bai.
"Scholar, I usually count you with a lot of ideas, but now that my eldest brother is dead, where should we go?" One of the bandits asked.
"I strongly agree with what the eldest brother said before his death, there are knives and guns in his hands, and he is not panicked, but robbing pedestrians is a small way, if you can trust me, we will go north together to Yingguo, the heaviest sergeant after Yingguo Shenjun changed the law, we have long been without a country and a home, it is better to go to Yingguo to join the army! If you talk about the situation of the Seven Kingdoms, Ying Guo is the best able to unify Kyushu, you and I have earned our lives so many times, do you dare to go out and fight again this time? The scholar encouraged the crowd.
"It's all a scholar!" "Yes, go to Hengzhou, go to Yingguo!" "If you go to war, maybe you can be a big official!" ", it's you! At most, he will be a captain, but he is a scholar, maybe he can be a captain, hahaha! "The scholar is a captain, and I can get a captain if I am the worst!" Everyone was in high spirits and laughed and laughed.
"Let's go! Looking at China, there are all sword soldiers, there is no light to return to the hometown, the man's body is not lonely, and his strength is comparable to that of heaven and earth! "The scholar chanted a poem, and everyone was taken by the tragic and majestic momentum in the poem, and the meaning of seeing death as if they were at home appeared in their eyes, and when they saw this scene, the corner of the scholar's mouth pulled out a cruel smile." White-clothed, Sword Sect, you have such a skill but are so soft-hearted, no wonder you end up in seclusion in the mountains. The scholar sneered in his heart. It is not yet known what kind of creation the mountain bandits and their group will go north, waiting for them......
