Chapter 7 First encounter with the Jianghuai Army

A little girl, about 10 years old, is still the age of a primary school student in later life.

The little mezzanine in the wall saved her.

Her hair was neatly groomed, and a coarse cloth dress was obviously made smaller, and she was obviously very loved by her family.

The pointed chin is due to lack of nutrition, a small nose bridge, small lips, but a pair of impressive thick eyebrows, and a height of less than 1.3 meters.

After being discovered by Shen Lang, she was like a little hamster, shrinking into the closet vigorously, her eyes were full of fear, but she was afraid of angering the visitor, biting her lower lip and not saying a word.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person." Shen Lang tried to squeeze out a gentle smile and stretched out his hand, but he didn't touch her directly, the frightened girl was very sensitive, she looked at Shen Lang in a daze, for a long time, with a little hesitation, and grabbed his hand timidly.

It wasn't until later that she whispered to him that the hand was big and warm.

The girl didn't cry, she silently looked at the corpses of her family members in the store, biting her lip was distressing, Shen Lang would rather her cry.

He sighed, no longer hesitated in his eyes, and found a kitchen knife from the kitchen with several gaps, "I'm going to chase the murderer, you stay here obediently, I'll be back." "Then he turned around and went out.

Shen Lang still has reservations about the saying that "the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people", people who practice martial arts have their own tigers in their hearts, and in popular terms, they are used to speaking with their fists, and they are easy to violate the law of the country, this principle is the same in ancient and modern times, so later generations do not advocate individuals to use force to "do chivalrous justice", and if they want to make a name for themselves immediately, then they will join the army or become a policeman.

Wearing tights at night and wandering around with a mask won't work in the Celestial Empire, and when you encounter bad guys, it's the right thing to do to call the police immediately.

However, at the end of the Sui Dynasty in this troubled era, the national order has been chaotic because of the collapse of His Majesty Yang Guang's central power, and the so-called Eighteen Roads against the king, to say that it sounds like the righteous army, in fact, the vast majority of them have military discipline corruption, and the behavior of the so-called righteous army is not much better than that of bandits.

This place is close to Jiangdu, and it is the territory of Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army, and Shen Lang has already made some judgments about who did the good deeds in the murder.

If it was a small white-collar worker who could only sing, dance and play football, Shen Lang could only dare to be angry and dare not speak, but now it's different, I'm going to take a look!

A small hand tightly grasped the corner of Shen Lang's clothes, the little girl lowered her head, her body was trembling slightly, this action may have used up all her courage, but the desire for life outweighed fear, the village was already uninhabited, the rebels were crossing, bandits were everywhere, a little girl was alone, what was waiting for her, even if she was still very young, she could understand.

She couldn't think of anything else but to follow this mild-looking big brother.

Shen Lang instantly guessed the little girl's thoughts, this was for fear that he would never return, after all, such a young girl would properly drag the oil bottle.

He squatted down and hugged her with his long arms, it was not right to save him when he saw death, and it was not right to save half of it, Shen Lang felt that he was not the Virgin, but when he met it, it was fate, "Since this is the case, then you will follow me in the future, if I have a bite to eat, there will be yours." By the way, little girl, I don't know your name yet. ”

"Little sister."

"Huh? What about your family name, I ask? ”

"Your Excellency's surname is Ning." Girl, she should be called Ning Xiaomei, and said in a low voice.

Well, most of the girls from poor families in ancient times were just a nickname, not even a boudoir name, within a radius of 100 miles, there were not 1,000 girls called Xiaomei, but 800.

"We have to track down the murderer, maybe we don't have time to come back to collect the bodies of your parents and family, in order to prevent them from being eaten by wild dogs after they die, let's cremate them." Shen Lang found the thing that started the fire from the kitchen, the house was originally a wooden structure, and there was a lot of firewood and grass in the side room, and the corpses of Ning Xiaomei's family were piled on the pile of tables and chairs, and then completely knocked down the ruins of the house, the smoke from the raging fire rose high and crackled, and the corpses in the fire began to curl up because of the burning, and the raised arms seemed to be waving.

"Give your dad a few last kowtows!"

Ning Xiaomei's eyes finally flowed out of large teardrops, and several heads snorted heavily on the ground, and blood marks soon appeared on her head.

Shen Lang, who was standing quietly on the side, watched her finish her head, wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and couldn't help but nod secretly.

This girl has something, all her family members were killed in one day, and she hasn't cried out until now, maybe the silent crying is the ultimate sadness.

"Let's go!"

Following the horse's hoof imprint, Shen Lang carried Ning Xiaomei on his back and strode away.

Although the Pure Yang Palace is an imaginary sect in the online game, after being extracted by the system, it is an out-and-out Taoist authentic martial arts, and the so-called Tiyun Zong is not a light skill of jumping high on the spot, Shen Lang can jump more than 10 meters in one breath, compared to the first practice on the mountain, there has been a great improvement, and now with a little girl has no impact, it can be said that it is faster than the galloping horse.

Along the dirt road, the hoof prints of more than ten horsemen were very obvious, but in half an hour, Shen Lang's sensitive hearing had already heard the sound of hooves.

Exactly what he expected.

When the cavalry travels far away, it is not like in movies and TV series. A war horse is not a car, and the one that keeps sprinting with all its strength can only be a machine, and no matter how good a horse is, it will not last.

Of course, the speed of the horse team walking in small steps is much faster than that of pedestrians, but it cannot withstand the pursuit of martial arts masters.

In the original text, Ba Fenghan created his own method of "unity of man and horse", because he knew enough about the meridians of the horse, so he penetrated the internal strength into the meridians of the war horse, and to a certain extent, the war horse also had the effect of light work, helping Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling escape the pursuers many times.

But that's a special case, it's a plug-in that Huang Daxia opened for the protagonists. To be reasonable, the master of internal strength is more durable and faster than a horse, this is from the world of martial arts.

The battle robes were not uniform, and the weapons were also varied, and the cavalry were very vigilant, looking at Shen Lang who was catching up, and slowing down the speed of the horses.

A simplely dressed young man, but if you look closely, he has red lips and white teeth, handsome and extraordinary, it is absolutely impossible to be raised by a poor family, he is comparable to the famous son in Jiangdu City, and he is carrying a little girl on his back, such a strange combination can't help but make people vigilant.

And after Shen Lang caught up with the horse team, the action of putting down the girl also confirmed their guess.

"Let me ask you, did you just come from Ningjia Village?"

The leading soldier was blind in one eye, and the skin on his face was clumped, piece by piece, and he snorted and said: "What is Ningjia Village and Wangjia Village, grandfathers have military affairs, you ...... The little brother is too noisy, otherwise the grandfathers will recognize you, but the knife in his hand will not recognize you! ”

Tattered clothes, but suspected of being well-born teenagers, the soldiers are not arrogant, and they still maintain a little sanity, but their long-term habits make their attitude still very arrogant.

"It's just you, so it's you who broke the store and killed people?" Shen Lang's gaze froze.
