219 Scorched Earth

Gao Meng's surname may be very stubborn, but he is not reckless at all. Especially after all these years of training outside, he understands better that everything cannot be impulsive or chaotic. Chaos is a loss of direction.

At this moment, he was not thinking of the villagers in the village, nor of his relatives, but of his own master. At the beginning, if it wasn't for his master's calm judgment of the development of things, he would have died by now.

The reason why he stayed was to repay the favor, but what could he do in this small village? That is, to make some iron tools for the villagers.

But now, a catastrophe is coming, and I have to do something.

"My lord! The children over the age of 10 in the village seem to have disappeared. Could it be that we leaked the news before we came, and they all hid? ”

One of the soldiers counted the names and reported them to his superiors.

Not only them, but also the villagers were very puzzled. The half-grown children in the village seemed to all disappear all at once. Naturally, they don't know what the children discussed last night, and they don't worry about whether their children have been abducted, which is impossible. But at this time, they would rather their children be abducted than be taken away, so what is the difference between that and death?

"No way, it's impossible for the news to leak out. You ** people! Don't think that if you hide those kids, we won't be able to do anything! I tell you, in this village, everyone who has a handle, who is over ten years old, will come with me! ”

As soon as he had finished speaking, the officers and men began to take out all the men in the village, separating them from the others, and took out a long rope, and tied their hands one after the other, as if they were tying cattle.

"Why?!"

"Why all the men?"

"The men have been arrested, how can you let us live!"

"Why don't you take us together!"

This small village has less than 100 households, and its livelihood depends entirely on farming and hunting, and when they heard that all the male surnames were going to be taken away, the villagers immediately quit. It's no different from killing them outright.

They were already prepared, and when the troops came to arrest people, they must have taken some people away, although they were unwilling, but they had silently accepted them. But now they actually said that they would take all the men away, and all the villagers would stop doing it.

The rest of the women and those ignorant children, how are they going to survive? Human society, regardless of its structure, wants to reproduce, and the most fundamental thing is naturally people, and it is men and women.

Although some of the children left behind also have male surnames, but when they grow up, I don't know how much will happen in them, and during this period, it is likely to ......

"**Yes!"

"Daddy, kid!"

The officers and men who can come out to arrest people must be ruthless. The people's resistance to this kind of thing must be very strong, and if they want to successfully complete the task, cold-blooded and cruel are necessary for them. The rebellion had just begun, and the officer directly ended the life of a villager surnamed a man with a sound of invective.

They are not good at anything else, and they have a lot of experience in killing villages that have no combat effectiveness.

"You are really a group of ** people, don't give face! I don't have time to spend here with you, so since you can't bear each other, then take me with you! Throw down everything you can't go, and take everyone else away! You guys give me honesty, and then give me **, if you can't go, you will be executed on the spot! ”

The officer wasn't deliberately trying to be ruthless, and it was clear from the grim look in his eyes that he would. This is the first village in this round, I didn't expect to encounter this situation at the beginning, he naturally has to use some very means, otherwise he will delay the time, and he will be blamed above, and he doesn't want to be punished.

Resistance, the word does exist between the class struggle. But the premise is that there is a possibility of a fight between the two sides.

And now, under the great threat, resistance is no longer possible. The previous attempt had serious consequences for them at this time, and many of them even regretted their impulsiveness. They were just poor people, and they certainly didn't know about the huge crisis facing the entire continent at this time, so naturally they would not have expected such an outcome.

However, it was too late, and soon, except for the old, weak, sick and disabled, everyone was gathered and connected by ropes.

"You! Take a few people to stay, and once you find those young people, bring them back immediately! Let's go! Go to the next village! ”

With that, the officer left the village with most of it.

Although the village has returned to its previous calm at this time, it has not upgraded in the slightest under the light of the morning sun, but looks lifeless. The rest gathered together and sobbed silently.

Originally, there should have been a thin cloud of cooking smoke around the village at this time, but at this time, except for the sound of chickens and dogs barking from time to time, there was not a single figure to be seen.

The few people who stayed behind began to intimidate and induce them to ask about the whereabouts of the young people from these people's mouths, but there was no result, and in the end they didn't bother to waste any more time, so they took out the food from the people around them, and ate it in the bazaar, as if waiting for death.

Happy people are all the same, but unhappy people have their own misfortunes.

The villagers who were still immersed in their dreams a moment ago were changed in the blink of an eye. They didn't even have the slightest chance to prepare and resist. But at this time, those children in the mountains and forests are still temporarily in control of their own destiny.

"What now? They all took away! ”

The children had already gathered, and were now hiding by the riverbank to observe the situation in the village. Watching their parents being taken away, a few older children couldn't control themselves anymore and almost rushed out, but fortunately, Gao Meng stopped it, and now they are lying on the ground crying silently, I don't know if it's because Gao Meng hurt them, or if they're crying or something else.

Although Cai'er's mood at this time was also very chaotic, but looking at Gao Meng beside her, she didn't do anything impulsive, she was looking forward to Gao Meng coming up with some good solutions.

Among the more than two dozen people, only Gao Meng was calm. It's not because there are no parents of his own among the people who were taken away, but after going through so much, he clearly knows that only with their twenty or so children, nothing can be changed at all, and they are still too small now.

Hope, as long as there are people, there is hope, if there are no people, then there is really no hope. And the reason why adults choose to give up resistance and follow those people is precisely because of this. This is one of the most important reasons for human reproduction.

"Hey! It's not necessarily a bad thing to stay. If you follow the chief to other villages, not to mention the tiredness, you will have to watch the chief kill people sadly. In comparison, our luck today is still very good. ”

After eating and drinking, several soldiers began to bask in the sun in the open space, chatting indiscriminately. The old, weak, sick and disabled who remained have not yet recovered from the grief of the loss of their loved ones, and are still huddled in the corner, drawing warmth from each other. By this time the sun had climbed to a very high position, and the temperature had risen, but they still felt very cold, very cold. It was cold to the heart, and they were trembling with cold.

"You too, didn't you say it earlier? If we say it earlier, we will be able to go on a business trip sooner, and you don't have to continue to worry about it. Don't worry, even if you people are caught, it won't be of much use, and it's a waste of food, and no one will take care of you anymore. ”

Others are trying to persuade these people to tell the whereabouts of the children sooner. But you can hear it in their tone, they are indeed not in a hurry at all now. It's just the beginning, and they're having a good time. As the man said before, this kind of luck doesn't happen every day.

"Don't talk nonsense with them, you can go around when you're idle, maybe those kids will come back after seeing what happened." I didn't sleep well last night, so I'll make up for it now. ”

As he spoke, the soldier put a chaise longue on the ground, put his equipment aside, and lay down comfortably.

Obviously, this person's qualifications seem to be older than the others, and although the person who spoke earlier was a little dissatisfied, he still left obediently. However, whether he went somewhere else to make up for sleep, no one knows this.

Time seemed to stop at this point.

The villagers were immersed in grief and could not feel the passage of time. Several soldiers, bathed in the warm sun, quickly fell asleep, and let out deep snoring, not knowing what kind of sweet dreams they were having at this time, and they were still snoring from time to time.

However, time continues to flow. Time is ticking, and things are happening.

"Poof!"

"Woo~Woo~Woo~呲!"

Even though the soldiers were asleep at this time, they still maintained a certain vigilance. However, this vigilance is extremely weak. When they saw danger approaching and reached out to grab their weapons, their lives were no longer under their control.

As if they were ghosts, several children slowly approached these soldiers, and although the guys in their hands could not compare with the weapons of these soldiers, they were more than enough to kill people.

These soldiers did not see these children as a threat at all, and when they were dying, they did not understand how they died. Even their deaths did not attract the slightest attention from the villagers, and they came to their senses when they heard a cry of grief and pain.

"Father!"

At this moment, a boy who had left the village with Gao Meng and them knelt in front of the dead villager, crying out in pain. Knowing this time, he knew that his father had been brutally killed.

This is the fate of the little people. The father, who was usually a very amiable man, had not behaved excessively in the previous conflict, except because he was close to the officer. For this reason alone, he died in such a daze. His eyes never closed, because he really couldn't figure out what he had done wrong to cause this murderous disaster.

At this time, his pupils had dilated, and his body was so cold and stiff under the sunlight.

His cry of pain spread to everyone's hearts in an instant like a plague.

His father was dead, but at least he could see his father's body. But what about others? What about those who were taken away in previous years and those who were taken away in the morning, their bodies?

In everyone's minds, these people are also dead, and there is no way to find even the corpses. Of all the people present, only Gao Meng still firmly believed that his father was still alive.

"Go back and pack your things, and remember, don't be redundant! And don't just take it in your own home, scatter it to find it, and don't let others see that we have come back. If you feel that the world is unfair, if you want to save your loved ones, then go and do what I say. Remember, there is hope only if you are alive. ”

After speaking, Gao Meng took the lead in leaving here and returned to his home. The others didn't react for a moment. When Gao Meng left their sight, they gradually woke up from their grief. They are very clear about Gao Meng's life experience. And at this time, if anyone can really take them to revenge or find their relatives, it must be Gao Meng.

The more pain is experienced, the stronger the person's nerves will become, and the first few people to react, their fathers are also the few people who were arrested at the same time as Gao Meng's father. They soon helped their companions to break free from their grief and began to act according to Gao Meng's instructions.

Although they are not very old, they will shape what kind of people they raise in any social environment. They clearly understood what Gao Meng meant, this place, they couldn't stay anymore, if nothing else, just the few soldiers who died had already left them with no choice.

The sound of rapid tapping resounded in the village. If an uninformed person passes by and hears this voice, he will definitely think that this is a very peaceful little village.

However, the sound of percussion at this time is a kind of urging. After hearing this sound, everyone's hand movements began to speed up involuntarily, as if they were maintaining some kind of common rhythm with the beating sound.

The children began to search the whole village for everything that would be useful to them in the future. According to Gao Meng's intentions, they did not take all the things in their own homes, but searched in several houses, and they did not even move other items, because they did not want to be found by others, and they had returned. Because it won't be long before they disappear.

The last person to return to the bazaar was Gao Meng. At this point, he had a lot more on his back. A lot of weapons, to be exact. Although these children have no one to use at this time, it will be sooner or later.

"You guys come and distribute these weapons. A few people will deal with these soldiers. Although others will definitely guess their fate if they can't find them, it's better not to let them be too sure. Try to dispose of it as cleanly as possible.

The others, with the villagers, retreated to the mountain forest. We don't have the capacity to do anything yet, and the best thing to do is to hibernate first. Wait until we have enough strength to come out and do something. Since your parents would rather be taken away than preserved, you should not die so easily. Your life is no longer your own. ”

The road of revenge began after Gao Meng's last words.

Soon, there was no one in the village. Everyone seemed to disappear after entering the mountain forest. Although this mountain forest is vast, it is only a small part of the extension of the Angela Mountains. It's very easy to hide inside from being found by others. But they didn't dare to go too deep at this time, because the deeper the place, the more dangerous it was, but it was enough. Because those people had more important things to do at this time, they were not idle enough to gather all their forces to surround these dozens of people for the sake of a few dead soldiers.

Every time is the same. Little people, after all, are an existence that is easy to be ignored by everyone. 'Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat', this is just a sentence made up by the superior in order to show his false fraternity for the little people.

Water can carry boats. This statement is true.

It can also capsize. It depends.

The few people who survived in such a small village obviously did not pose any threat to the big ship. Even if they are water, they are the water at the bottom, and these waters are not even qualified to cause a ripple, so how can they talk about overturning?

However, when these waters can move, they are no longer water, but become undercurrents. By this time they had come to life. To live is to hope. moving, you can change something. Perhaps for now, they are still too small to fear, but when new water is added to this undercurrent, they will become stronger and stronger. When some of them become water vapor in the sky, they may form clouds, may create a storm, may command the wind, and may make this seemingly indestructible ship sway.

Every turn of the wheel of history takes a long time to brew because it is simply too heavy. One of its rotations may have to go through countless combinations of various coincidences, and only one of these combinations has successfully propelled it. But that doesn't mean the other combinations are failures. Because it is their huge base that has created the emergence of successful surnames.

Therefore, in history, the most important role is not played by those big people who have been handed down through the ages, but those scorched earth that has been crushed by the wheel of history, and it is they who have laid the foundation for all this. (To be continued.) )
