Chapter 16: My Courage

The morning breeze was gently blowing, and the rustle of leaves could be heard in the jungle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

A leaf swirled in the air, falling little by little, and finally landed on Hua Li Lang's face, and fell between the bridge of his straight nose.

When the eyes opened, white light appeared through the gaps between the leaves. Stretching his waist and sitting up from the ground, he turned his head to see that the campfire was already a pile of dead ashes, and there was not the slightest human figure in sight.

Hua Li Lang searched around twice, and found that the person had left quietly. With a sigh, he turned his head to look back at the road ahead, and the place he had set foot in yesterday had long been blocked by trees, and he couldn't see clearly.

After all, I can only go on my own path!

Looking into the distance, Hua Li Lang strengthened his spirits and continued to start his lonely journey. Now he is no longer a white-bodied scum of the second level, and through the promotion, he has become a seventh-level intermediate warrior, and he has engraved three defensive essence runes in his body that ordinary high-level warriors can't engrave.

He could already feel the thickness of his skin, and he felt the explosive power in his body that he had never seen before.

These powers came too easily, and at the beginning, Hua Li Lang was still worried about whether he could adapt to this ever-strengthening body, but now he is basically relieved. He was faintly aware that his soul was extremely tenacious, so he could adapt to the new body so easily, which may also be one of the benefits hidden in the crossing.

When Hua Li Lang walked out of the jungle and saw the winding and rugged dirt road in front of him, he finally felt the smell of fireworks in this world again, but what he saw and heard along the way made his heart heavier and heavier.

Three days later, Hua Li Lang blended into a group of refugees, and he inquired about his current location: Rhineland.

Noxus' troops burned and looted in the Rhine, the county guards closed the gates for their own protection, and Debang's reinforcements were delayed. However, in just half a month, the Rhine County has become full of holes and wolf smoke.

Civilians in the villages and towns had to flee, and they rushed to Debang in droves, leaving endless corpses in their wake.

The bumpy dirt road, the dilapidated donkey cart, a bare-bottomed child sitting on the haystack, growing up and crying, two snots fell from the mouth to the belly, and when crying sadly, the snot blew a bubble on the side of the mouth, and the intermittent sobbing sound made people feel extremely uncomfortable. An emaciated woman with a cloth towel on her head kept patting him on the back, her face full of helplessness and sadness, she had no milk left, and she could no longer feed the child.

She could only keep comforting the child, and kept wiping his snot and saliva with her hands, but she couldn't stop the child's crying.

An old man who was following behind the donkey cart suddenly fell to the ground, and everyone looked at him, and then continued on his way.

Along the way, there were cries and dead people. Everyone was terrified, afraid of being overtaken by the Noxian soldiers, and panic was like a stone in their hearts, forcing them to keep moving forward.

Hua Li Lang is mixed in such a team, with the same yellow face, hunger and thinness, the same helplessness and sadness. Two days before, he had met the troops of Noxus, and he had witnessed the cruelty of Noxus, and he could only hide in the grass and shiver as a dead man.

Facing the troops, not to mention that he is a small mid-level warrior, even if it is a high-level warrior with extremely high talent like Raven, he can only face an attack of 100 people at most. Under the iron hooves and swords of the troops, the strength of the individual is so small, and he is so humble.

War and blood have never stopped in this world, and Hua Li Lang can only go with the flow.

The group of refugees he was in was 2,000 people, and they formed a long snake on the road, staggering forward. The rich and noble families have long since run away with their private armies and mercenaries, and the rest are barefoot poor baredo, with no one to protect or guide them, only to follow them in a mess.

If you can't run, you can only fall to the ground and wait for death. It's hot now, and in a few days, the corpse will be moldy and smelly. The free spread of germs carried by the corpses themselves, coupled with the fact that some of the Noxus forces were developing chemical weapons, the plague and the virus were the real reason for the exodus of civilians.

Those germs and plagues, even if they are Hua Li Lang, it is not clear whether they can withstand it, let alone these ordinary people?

In the endless crowd, Hua Li Lang was tall, and he was carrying a weapon himself, and everyone was a little afraid of him. The head of the refugee will use some food to please him, hoping that he will be able to help in difficult times.

Hua Li Lang accepted the food they squeezed out between his teeth, so it was equivalent to taking their poor commission.

This is a drudgery with no return, a test of conscience and reality, and Hua Li Lang has no choice.

"Brother Lang!"

Among the refugees, a barefoot boy ran towards Hua Li Lang quickly, he was so tired and out of breath, pressed his waist and said to Hua Li Lang: "There is a carriage in front of which has fallen off the wooden bridge, and the car behind can't pass, you can go and take a look!" ”

The boy who spoke was called Minnie, and like everyone else, he thought that Hua Li Lang was a lonely ranger. Hua Li Lang nodded, took out an equally worn iron sword from the broken car next to him, stuck it diagonally at his waist, and then followed the young man striding forward.

It didn't take long for Hua Li Lang to see a large crowd piling up in front of him, and Minnie struggled to push away the crowd and took Hua Li Lang to the wooden bridge.

The wooden bridge had been destroyed, the stream below was littered with planks, a carriage had been planted in the stream, a dead man was lying on the slope, and a group of young men were pushing the carriage vigorously. The head of the refugee saw Hua Li Lang coming, and sighed and said to him: "Ah Lang, what should you do about this!" There are a lot of cars in the back! ”

Hua Li Lang glanced around, frowned and asked, "Can you take a detour?" ”

The refugee shook his head and said, "There is a road, but it is too close to the Noxus troops, and it is too dangerous." ”

Hua Lilang pointed to the bridge and asked, "How did this bridge break?" ”

The refugee said: "I don't know what's going on, but the good ones are suddenly broken." ”

"Then you wait below, I'll go up and see if this bridge can be repaired!"

After Hua Li Lang finished speaking, he ran down the slope, he walked under the bridge pier, looked up, found a position, and then luckily jumped, grabbed a convex plank with his hand, turned over and climbed up. Hua Li Lang took two steps on the broken bridge, he looked up and saw the broken iron lock under the wooden bridge, bent down enough to reach it, and found that he couldn't reach it, he pulled out the iron sword and swiped it downward.

After trying for a long time, he hooked the iron lock, Hua Li Lang looked at the iron lock for a while, and then found that it was wrong, turned around and shouted behind him: "This bridge was deliberately damaged by someone!" ”

As soon as the words fell, a large group of people suddenly appeared in the oblique stab, shouting: "Robbery! Rob! ”

The surrounding crowd was shocked, and then some children were so frightened that they cried, and the refugees were also frightened and retreated with the refugees.

In the chaotic crowd, some people were trampled to death, and some rolled down the dirt slope. A bunch of strongmen standing on the mountain beam saw the cowardice of these people below, and they laughed one by one. A bald man with a mace in his hand and a vicious face shouted to the crowd below: "Our Black Whirlwind will never kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as you hand over the food, we will let you leave obediently!" ”

Someone below shouted angrily: "Don't you want food for our lives?" ”

"We don't have food!" Countless people roared with all their might.

The bald guy's face was a little ugly, the head next to him was shaved clean, and there was a handful of hair in the middle, and the guy with the pigtails picked his monkey cheeks, jumped out, and whispered beside the bald guy: "The second boss, didn't the big boss let us rob these civilians?" ”

The bald guy glanced back with his bronze bell-like eyes and whispered, "Third brother, I don't know if the big boss is alive or dead now, what do you think the brothers are starving?" We didn't dare to do anything when we met the nobles before, and we had to run away when we met the murderous Noxian troops, but now we have any other way than to rob these barefoot boards? ”

"The big boss ......!"

Before he could finish his words, the big hand that had been a fan was pressed on his shoulder: "Don't say anything, even if it tastes conscience, when the big boss comes back, he will cut me!" ”

At this point, the three masters couldn't say anything, the bald man raised his weapon and shouted loudly down: "I've dozens of voices!" If you don't hand over the food, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

"One!"

"Two!"

"Three!"

……

By the time the fourth was counted, there were already people on their knees and weeping; By the fifth tone, everyone was sad; When the sixth tone was counted, many people looked at the refugee's head, and the refugee's head looked up at the sky, and two lines of tears rolled down.

"Seven!"

"Eight!"

After all, the refugee couldn't help it, and turned to the young man who was running errands next to him and said, "It's okay! Minnie, greet everyone, let's get some food together, and give this group of animals! ”

"Daddy! Without food, how can we get to Debang? The boy yelled, and his emotions made the green tendons on his neck exposed.

"Alas......!" The refugee sighed, but said nothing. He turned his head to urge Mini, but the stubborn boy just didn't move, and the two were in a stalemate, and one of them rushed up the hill.

When the second master stopped counting and beckoned the brothers to get ready to start, the man ran up the hill and stood on the opposite side of them. He opened his arms, his cheeks drenched with sweat, and his gaze was firm and persistent.

"Boy! Want to die? Don't get out of here! "As soon as the third child saw the posture on the other side, he knew that it was not good. Intentionally reminded him, he pretended to be vicious and yelled at him.

Hua Li Lang gasped and said to the other side: "They are all from Demacia just like you. They have just been driven out of their homes by the Noxian invaders, and you have to ask them for the little food you have left! I'm not a Demacian, but I'm ashamed of your actions! ”

"Get out!" The bald man stared at the copper bell with wide eyes and shouted out a word.

Hua Li Lang pulled out his sword from his waist and pointed at the other party: "If you want to go over, step over my corpse first!" ”
