Chapter VII, Livestock Officers and Soldiers
"You two, go get some wine and meat, we must go at once." After appreciating the excitement of the superintendent eating horse manure for a while, Chen Qi decisively smashed the superintendent to death with a stick, and then ordered the tiger girl and the dog. The two of them were stuffing chicken into their mouths one after another, although they were reluctant, they still obediently grabbed some wine and meat, and then lifted the young man and left everyone with Chen Jiao.
However, the bearded man also chased after him while eating and drinking, with half a chicken leg in his mouth, and chased after him and muttered, "Brother, what are you doing here?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”
"These people are officers and soldiers, that fat man is not small, he will kill him if he kills him, I am worried that it will cause trouble, so I must leave quickly." The two had just fought side by side, although it was a temporary cooperation, but Chen Qi had a good impression of him, so he didn't hide it.
"Hmph..."The young man who had been gagged all the time snorted coldly.
"You kid, you're a character, you're very thoughtful, yes, it's better to be cautious when you kill the people in the government. By the way, my name is Jin Biao, together, how about it? The bearded man smiled loudly and said cheerfully.
In this way, on the road again, Chen Jiao had another companion by his side.
Jin Biao was very curious about the injured boy on the stretcher, and after listening to Chen Qi's narration, he was greatly impressed, and he killed so many Xianbei robbers alone, and he fought to the death without retreating, he was a bloody man, but even if the young man was taken off the strip of cloth in his mouth, he didn't speak again, Chen Qi and others even dared to kill the superintendent, and the young man disagreed very much.
Since ancient times, if the people do not fight with the officials, killing the officials is tantamount to rebellion, which is not a trivial matter!
"This brother is seriously injured, huh? On such a hot day, the wounds are all infected, and if you don't treat them, I'm afraid it won't be easy to do? Jin Biao bent down to check the young man's injuries, and was taken aback, twenty-four knife wounds, scars on his body, flesh and blood churning, just a quick glance, people couldn't bear to look at it anymore, it was too heavy, but, even if Jin Biao accidentally touched the purulent wound, the young man, except for a slight frown, didn't even snort.
"I've thought about all the ways I should think of, unless I can meet a village or town, only there, can there be Langzhong and herbs." Chen Qi shook his head and sighed, and with a wave of his hand, everyone continued to speed up their pace and walk south.
The scorching sun is scorching, the whole earth is like a scorching steamer, the people who are drying are hot, the skin exposed outside, the roasted sweet potatoes, within two days, they are all sunburned purple-red, Chen Biao Jin Biao's dog eggs are all bare-chested, but on the young man's stretcher, Chen Biao made a shade bracket with the robbed clothes.
"There's a village in front of you...!" The hard work paid off, and after walking for another five days, seeing that he was about to enter the boundary of Zhuo County, he finally saw the shadow of the village and town, and the refugees on the road were all boiling, cheering excitedly one by one, scrambling to run forward, and everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy.
If there are villages and towns, it means that there are people, and it means that there are preserved fruits to satisfy the hunger.
"Let's go, let's hurry up."
In the past two days, the injuries on the young man's body have been aggravated because he has not been treated, and he has been in a coma two days ago.
Everyone is like crazy, they have encountered many villages and towns before, very few can open the city to let refugees into the city, some are worried that the refugees will bring epidemics, some are worried that it will disturb the order in the city, and some are simply disgusted with these refugees who are not even as good as beggars, and those who are willing to take in kindly can give some rice porridge, but there are very few who are pitiful.
This time, the luck is good, the officers and soldiers defending the city did not stop it, Chen Jie and a few people finally squeezed into the city with the flow of people, look around, the village and town are not big, the shops on the street are very deserted, take a closer look at the layout of the buildings here, it is more like a dock fort for soldiers to guard the border.
In the northwest frontier, there are many such dock forts, which serve as fortresses in wartime to resist the thieves who knock on the invasion, and in their spare time, the officers and soldiers recuperate here, because there are more people, and most of the families of the officers and soldiers have moved with them, and the number of buying and selling shops has also increased.
However, after looking at it, Chen Qi couldn't help but sigh, the defenders here don't even have a patrol sentry, even on the city tower, the officers and soldiers are leaning on the battlements in twos and threes to chat and fart and half-bare-bones, without the slightest military discipline at all, vigilance can be imagined, although Chen Qi does not understand the military, but it can also be seen that the garrison here is very lax.
"Hmph, with the military salary of the imperial court, I don't do anything at all, what can I expect such an official and army to do?" Jin Biao's heart was straightforward, and he couldn't help muttering.
"Silence, silence... Well? What are they doing here? After a while, seeing that the refugees had entered the city, Chen Qi suddenly found that a group of officers and soldiers suddenly rushed towards the city gate, and an ominous premonition instinctively crept into his heart. The heavy gates were closed by the officers and soldiers.
"Hurry up..."Chen Qi hurriedly led a few people into an alley, hiding in the corner of the cat's waist and looking out secretly, seeing that the officers and soldiers on the street were gathering more and more, very few were wearing armor, most of them were bare-armed, half-exposed, these people came to the street, and their eyes suddenly stared at the women in the refugee crowd like wolves.
Chen Fei pulled out the scimitar around his waist, grabbed the tiger girl in his arms, and before the tiger girl had time to struggle, Chen Fei took the knife and cut off the tiger girl's hair, although both men and women in the late Han Dynasty had long hair, but the woman was still more obvious, cut off most of the tiger girl's hair, Chen Fei grabbed a handful of soil and smeared it on the tiger girl's face, and said sharply, "Don't speak, you know?" ”
Hu Niu was startled, and reluctantly looked at the hair cut off by Chen Jiao, her eyes were red, but seeing Chen Jiao's gloomy face and stern expression, Hu Niu still nodded and hummed.
"Chen Shu, you see?"
Jin Biao suddenly pointed to the street with his hand, and his tone was obviously full of anger, Chen Zhuo turned his head to see that as he thought, the officers and soldiers in this dock fort are all beasts with human faces and beast hearts, and the reason why the refugees are allowed to enter the city is just to satisfy their selfish desires, as long as it is a woman who enters the city, whether it is a child or a young woman, or even an elderly person, they will not let it go.
"Let go of her... You brutes. ”
"Mother... Whining... Let go of my mother, what are you going to do? ”
"Lao Tzu fought with you..."
Seeing that the women around them were openly snatched away by the officers and soldiers, of course they were unwilling, but in response to them, the officers and soldiers beat and scolded them unscrupulously, and some even drew their swords to threaten them.
One woman after another, crying heartbreakingly, was forcibly dragged away by the officers and soldiers, any resistance, it seemed so pale and powerless, crying so much, was slashed and killed by the officers and soldiers on the spot, the scene was immediately controlled, and those women were whimpering and crying and were taken away by the officers and soldiers on their shoulders.
Waiting for them, everyone understands what it is, these officers and soldiers who have been stationed in the border all the year round are no longer human, just robbers and beasts in human skin.
