The news brought out by the rats surprised everyone present, although the altitude of this Kirishima Mountain is not very high, but there are still a few hundred meters, although it is now July, but the temperature above it is definitely not as mild as the port, what are these sixty or seventy old people doing in this cave?

"Young master, since it's a wolf, why don't we set a fire and burn them all to death."

Lao Qian said that he was a little eager to try, these days, he has been watching Zhang Dingbian and Zhu Neng fight and kill the Japanese outside, and his heart has long been itchy, and now that he has met a group of Japanese robbers, where can he still sit still.

"Dean'......"

Zhao Kuo wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. Hu Ye waved his hand, he knew what Zhao Kuo wanted to say, this product had never been far away, nor had he experienced what was called life and death, he had no opinion on killing those widows before, but the people in this cave were some old people who were powerless, and he was naturally moved by compassion.

Hu Ye smiled, isn't Zhao Kuo at this time the same person he was five or six years ago? It's so similar, but now I'm not the same person I was five or six years ago, I've changed so much that I can't go back to what I used to be.

Seeing that Hu Ye waved his hand, Zhao Kuo stopped talking, this is the Wa Kingdom, not the Ming Dynasty, and some things cannot be said.

Liu Guan also seemed to know what Hu Ye meant, and he was not ready to speak, but Liu Ren was very happy to prepare the torch.

"Wait."

Hu Ye said suddenly.

"General, what's the matter?"

Liu Ren walked over with a torch, and the soldiers behind him had already brought a lot of firewood, as long as the fire went down, those people in the cave would naturally be saved.

"You brought people in and kicked them out, this matter is a bit strange, I couldn't see the old people around the port before, why did they come here?" Hu Ye's brows furrowed. He's going to get this straight.

"Young master, what do you want to do so much, isn't it just a widow? There are so many people on this Kyushu island, why do you want to ask these people? "Lao Qian was a little reluctant, he was just ready to kill, but now Hu Ye stopped him.

"What are you doing with all this nonsense?" Hu Ye kicked it angrily, he knew that Lao Qian had itchy hands, and he had to find a time to let this product go out to practice.

Then Liu Ren led the men and horses into the cave, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a pungent smell, which was the kind of rotten and dirty smell. It seems to have a taste that can only be found in a pigsty at home.

This made Liu Ren very uncomfortable, so he had to remove the cloth from his clothes and cover his face, so he dared to walk in.

As soon as Liu Ren entered, more than a dozen old men in the cave shrank together, looking at Liu Ren with great fear, as well as the knives shining under the torches.

"Get me out! Our general wants to see you! Liu Ren shouted loudly.

"General, they are Japanese and don't understand us." A soldier next to him immediately said to Liu Ren.

"Nonsense! Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't know? Lao Tzu was testing them. Liu Ren turned around and kicked over, and the soldier rolled on the ground several times. Only then did he stop, and then he kept rubbing his buttocks, and Liu Ren didn't show mercy.

"Come on, get them out of here."

As he spoke, Liu Ren asked the soldiers to drive the old men out of the cave from behind. They can't understand Chinese, but they shouldn't understand this kind of duck chasing action, right? If you don't leave, you're waiting with a knife, as long as you're not a fool. Just know what it means.

Those old people were indeed not stupid, but they were a little slow to move, and Liu Ren had been breathing the stench in the cave for a long time. He didn't understand how these old people survived in such caves.

"General, everyone has kicked you out, you didn't go in, it's hell in there, I don't want to go in a second time." Liu Ren came to Hu Ye's side and threw away the piece of cloth on his face, as if that thing would bring bad luck to the cave.

As soon as Liu Ren walked over, Hu Ye felt a pungent smell, and hurriedly kicked it away, and then looked at the group of people outside the cave, all of them were yellow and thin, their age was definitely not young, and their weight was estimated to be not as heavy as Lao Qian's thigh, and their eyes were dull, looking at Hu Ye's army was trembling, and their eyes were full of fear.

"Do any of you understand Chinese?"

Hu Ye covered his nose and walked up and said loudly to the group of old people.

The first time, the group of old people didn't react, they all looked at Hu Ye with frightened expressions, and they didn't know what Hu Ye would do to them.

After that, Hu Ye asked again, and found that there was still no response, so he had to say a few words in a very simple language, and even he didn't know what he was talking about, but the group of old people reacted, and there seemed to be hope in their eyes.

"I ...... I would say Han ...... Chinese. ”

As soon as Hu Ye's words fell, in the crowd, an old man who looked very old walked out and replied to Hu Ye in awkward Chinese.

"Do you speak Chinese? So why didn't you just stand up? Hu Ye looked at the old man who stood up and asked loudly.

"I don't know who you are, so I don't dare to speak up. I heard you speak in the Japanese language just now, so I stood up. The old man said tremblingly.

"What did I just say?" The corners of Hu Ye's mouth twitched, to be honest, he didn't know what he just said, because he only heard some of his words when he watched a certain film.

"You say you're a good person." The old man replied.

……

Hu Ye was speechless, he casually said a few words that he didn't know, but it turned out to be a sentence, or the sentence "I am a good person", what made Hu Ye speechless was that these old men were too simple, right? Let's say you're a good person, and you believe it? Just now we ordered the mountain to be set on fire.

"Why do you speak Chinese?" After a while, Hu Ye asked.

"When I was younger, I went to the Yuan Dynasty by boat, where I spent a few years and learned some Chinese. Later, there was turmoil in the Yuan Dynasty, and I came back. The old man coughed.

"Well, I didn't expect you to go to the Yuan Dynasty, but now the world has changed, and it's no longer the Yuan Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty." Hu Ye said casually, he didn't expect that there were people who had been to the Yuan Dynasty in this group of people, "Then you should be a well-informed person, why do you stay in the mountains?" ”

"Not for them." The old man glanced back at the old people around him, and a pained look appeared on his face.

"Who are they, and why are they here?" Hu Ye asked curiously.

"Actually, they are all villagers in this neighborhood, and when they were young, they all lived in this neighborhood. But gradually, when they get old, they don't have any labor, and staying in the village will become a burden for the young people, so there is a custom here that all the old people who don't have any labor will be sent up the mountain to fend for themselves. Although I am old, I am also well-informed and have contributed a little bit to the neighborhood, and if I stay in the village, they may still provide for me. But I couldn't let these old people starve and freeze to death in the mountains, so I went to the mountains and helped them build this shelter and find food for them, just to let them finish their last journey in peace. The old man sighed.

"What? And what's going on? ”

Hu Ye was taken aback when he heard this, could it be that the people of the Japanese country are so ruthless, others raised them when they were young, but when others were old and couldn't move, they threw others to the mountains to fend for themselves? What kind of beast can do this? Isn't there no courtesy, righteousness, and shame? Aren't there their parents and uncles among them?

Not to mention Hu Ye, Lao Qian and the others couldn't see it anymore when they heard it, although he didn't learn any etiquette, righteousness and shame, but filial piety was remembered, even if the old mother couldn't walk, he wouldn't do this kind of thing.

"Do you all have this habit here?" Hu Ye asked with a frown.

"Yes, not only near Mt. Kirishima, but also the entire Kyushu and the entire Wa country, all of them have this habit, and it has been better these years, because the people in power have learned a lot of things in the Central Plains and come back, and they can improve production and feed more people, and there are not as many people who have been driven up the mountain as before. In the past, as long as there was any serious illness, they would be driven up the mountain and left to fend for themselves. This is also helpless, there is only a little food, and the labor force must be fed, otherwise the entire race will be extinct. The old man sighed.

Hu Ye also frowned, the so-called saving zài is reasonable, since this habit has lasted for thousands of years, there must be his reason, this country has low productivity, can't grow so much food, can't feed so many people, naturally there will be trade-offs, so these old people became victims, and were driven up the mountain to fend for themselves.

"Do you want to go back?"

Hu Ye said suddenly.

"Go back? Of course, we want to go back, we don't have enough food and clothing on this mountain, we have to starve, and we are threatened by wild beasts, if we can go back, we will naturally go back, but they will not accept us. The old man shook his head, who would want to have a home and not go back, with a dark and damp cave? But this is also something that cannot be helped.

"Don't worry, I will let you go back, and I will let you enjoy the family fun you deserve, and say goodbye to this life of worry and fear completely." Hu Ye assured loudly.

Lao Qian was stunned, Zhao Kuo was also stunned, and Liu Ren was even more stunned, didn't Hu Ye hate the Japanese before? Why do you initiate kindness now? To bring this group of dying old men home?

"Are you telling the truth?" The old man was overjoyed, but then it dimmed again, these thousands of years of rules could not be changed because of an outsider.

"What I said is true, of course." Hu Ye smiled, but he had already begun to think about it in his heart.

He felt that he was loving, but his love would not be for the widows, and the reason why he wanted to send these people back to their homes was naturally due to his considerations.

Before, he was still thinking about how to slow down Kuramiya Minoruhito's pace after waiting for Kuramiya Minoru to control Kyushu, but he didn't expect that this trip to Kirishima Mountain had already found a solution. (To be continued......)
