Chapter 36: The blood of loved ones is better than Sumeru
It was just spring, and it was the most lively time in the market, and my brother went out early in the morning, and Xuan Ce obediently stayed at their house, waiting for my brother's return.
Before noon, suddenly there was a large stream of black smoke rising from the market, and many townspeople ran home, and from their words, Xuan Ce knew what was probably happening.
A group of horse thieves pretending to be traders infiltrated the market, and then at the most lively time, they began to kill people and set fires, robbing goods and money, they tried to mess up the order, so that the horse thieves outside the Great Wall could also rush in, and attack the Tang Dynasty!
Baili Xuance was frightened, I don't know what his brother's situation is now, will he be in danger?! When Baili Xuance was anxiously like an ant on a hot pot, from a distance, he saw his brother running towards him!
"Xuan Ce! Are you okay?! My brother hugged him.
Baili Xuance noticed that his brother's face was black and gray, his proud and beautiful fox ears were also scorched with a lot of fur and emitted a pungent smell, his brother's clothes were torn in many places, and there were still many wounds on his body, bleeding.
However, his brother didn't seem to care, only caring about his own safety.
Baili Xuance's heart was full of gratitude.
However, one of the townspeople ran up to him and said to his brother, "Now the Great Wall Guards need manpower, and if we don't kill the horse thieves in the town, and the horse thieves in the desert rush in again, our town will probably be destroyed!" ”
The elder brother looked hesitant, he looked at Xuan Ce, then at the townspeople, and finally shook his head slightly: "I'm sorry...... I'm going to protect my little brother......"
"No need, brother! Don't worry! Xuan Ce is very witty, you see, our big water tank is out of water, I can just hide in it, I will definitely protect myself, no matter what happens, it will not come out! Brother, go quickly! ”
"But you...... What do you do? My brother was still worried.
The little Baili Xuance patted his chest vigorously: "Brother, don't worry!" I'm a little man, too! ”
The elder brother looked at Baili Xuance's somewhat trembling legs, pale face, and a light of fear in his eyes, however, his appearance was full of determination!
"Okay, promise my brother to protect yourself! I'll be back as soon as I can! ”
"Okay, brother, I'll protect myself!"
"I'll see you later, then." The elder brother turned around to go with the townspeople, and before leaving, he turned back to Baili Xuance and added: "Xuance, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." ”
"Okay, brother, I'm not afraid, with you, I'm not afraid of anything!" Xuan Ce retracted into the water tank!
The elder brother followed the townsfolk away quickly.
There was silence in the room!
For a long time, it was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of needles falling on the ground, and Baili Xuance, who was originally very scared and nervous, gradually relaxed, it seems that my brother's resistance should have worked, and it seems that these horse thieves are just bluffing.
Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden commotion in the street, mixed with the shouting and cursing of horse thieves, the sound of horses' hooves plowing the ground and weapons clashing, and ...... And all the cries of women and children.
Soon these voices approached Baili Xuan Ce's home, and Xuan Ce quickly shrunk himself into a small ball and stuck it hard in the water tank.
The door was violently pushed open, and a leather boot kicked and scolded.
The home of the two Baili brothers was very simple, almost surrounded by four walls, the man glanced at it, and found nothing valuable, so he turned around and left, he didn't expect that someone would be stupid enough to hide at home.
Xuan Ce is trembling in the water tank!
There is a large open space in front of Xuan Ce's house, and the horse thieves will gather the plundered women and children in the open space, Xuan Ce's fox ears are very sensitive, and he heard that the horse thieves seem to be looking for someone, as if they are looking for a demon seed with magical power.
They whipped the women and children with horsewhips, asking them if they knew the demonic seed.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Baili Xuance's mouth, these children usually want to ride on their necks every day to, and target themselves everywhere, they will definitely sell themselves as soon as possible.
After all, in this small town on the edge of the Great Wall, only my brother and myself are mixed blood.
To Baili Xuance's surprise, that group of children insisted that there were no demon seed hybrids in this town!
Baili Xuance was stunned in the water tank.
Human nature is the most complex and elusive thing, and what you think is hated and bullied may not come from the heart.
"Smack!" Another whip, the sound of which flicked through the air with a loud sound, followed by the cracking of flesh and the heart-rending cry of a child.
Baili Xuance trembled and hesitated!
"Smack!" Another whip!
Baili Xuance pushed down the water tank, rushed out, and shouted: "I am the demon seed!" If you want to find someone, it's me! ”
The horse thief whipped these children with a whip, just to vent their anger, they thought that there was really no demon seed here, but they didn't expect that this stupid demon seed imp actually sent it to the door himself.
The leader of the horse thieves nodded at his subordinates, their purpose was half accomplished, and they could go.
So, the leader tied up Baili Xuance, threw him in the carriage, and did not go to the Great Wall guard gate, but drove along the path of the town!
At this moment, Brother Baili, together with many townspeople, is braving the rain of arrows, desperately pushing the gate of the Great Wall to prevent the horse thieves outside from rushing in!
There are constantly people around him who are injured and falling, and some die directly, Brother Baili is not afraid in his heart, but if he retreats, if the Great Wall is breached, then his younger brother may really be in danger!
If you keep the Great Wall, you will also protect your brother!
Even if he really encounters something, the kind Great Wall guards will not treat his brother badly.
With this belief, Brother Baili always sticks behind the gate of the Great Wall, pushing the door to death! Guarding the Great Wall with your life!
The guards of the Great Wall kept searching for the remaining horse thieves in the town, and the horse thieves outside the gate of the Great Wall found that the hope of attacking the Great Wall was disappointed, and after a long time, the guards of other passes were afraid that they would soon come to support, so the horse thieves outside the Great Wall retreated.
Brother Baili rushed in the direction of his home! Great, the Great Wall is guarded, the family is guarded, then the younger brother will be guarded!
But why did I feel so uneasy in my heart?
Looking at it from afar, I finally saw my home!
Xuan Ce, wait for me, my brother is here!
There were many people standing at the door, and Brother Baili stopped suddenly, his heart beating heavier and heavier, and more and more slowly!
