Chapter 295: Forced to go to Beijing IV
Although Xiao Ju didn't understand what happened at first in the cellar, she thought of the later situation and guessed that after her father and mother were killed, she didn't mention it in one breath and fainted directly.
By the time she woke up, it was already dark.
Quietly crawled out of the cellar, when she saw that the yard was in a mess, and the whole village was burning with fire, Xiao Ju couldn't wait to jump into the fire and follow her father and mother.
But she eventually returned to the cellar. No, she can't die, and if she dies, she can't avenge her father. Besides, there are two older brothers, and she wants to avenge her father and mother with her brothers.
Hiding in the cellar, Xiaoju kept crying, and when she was tired of crying, she fell asleep.
During this period, some officers and soldiers came in to inspect after the fire was extinguished, and found a few surviving villagers in the village. But these survivors, who were not killed by bows and arrows, and were not burned by fire, were directly killed by them.
And Xiao Ju because she was in the cellar, she pulled up some of the lids on it. In addition, when the officers and soldiers entered the courtyard at that time, she was already dazed and crying and fainted, so she was not found and escaped.
At this time, Wei Yuanshan, Da Zhuang, and Xiao Zhuang, who were standing at the entrance of the village, had straight eyes.
How could this be the place where I lived before? The former villagers, the former houses and trees, the former roosters and dogs barking, the former relatives, the former home.
"Ah," Xiao Zhuang finally couldn't accept this reality, and couldn't help but scream at the village where he once lived, and now there was only a ruin covered with snow left. Then he slowly knelt on the ground.
"Dad, mother," Wei Yuanshan, who was originally stunned, had already burst into tears, and he remembered that when he left home yesterday, his mother had been sending him so far away, and she had said something like that. finally couldn't help it, and ran in the direction of his yard.
"How did this happen?" Da Zhuang's lip had been bitten open, and he stumbled towards his house.
Xiao Ju was groggy in the cellar, and suddenly a heart-rending cry sounded in her ears. She shook her head and sat up, and when she was sure it wasn't an auditory hallucination, she quickly crawled out of the cellar.
In the yard, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were digging around in the snowy areas of the yard. When I heard movement behind me, I turned around and saw Xiao Ju crawling out of the cellar.
"Big brother, second brother," Xiao Ju shouted, and then ran over. But because the water and rice were not touched for a day and a night, she used all her strength when she saw her two brothers, but as soon as she ran to the two of them, her feet were weak.
Da Zhuang's eyes are fast, and he hugged Xiaoju.
Huber also walked in from outside, and said with a worried face, "Go quickly, you can't stay here." The people in the yamen told the nearby villagers that if they found a person who escaped from Wei Village, they would give five taels of silver, and if they didn't leave, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to leave if they wanted to. "Those people dare to slaughter the village, what else can't be done.
"Da Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang, let's go," Wei Yuanshan walked over from behind.
Wei Yuanshan, who Hu Bo went to look for first just now, didn't want to find the remains of his parents in the ruins. But except for the heavy snow, the houses and buildings are already in ruins, and I am afraid that it is impossible to do it in a short time on my own.
In addition, the more important thing is that Wei Yuanshan is still thinking about his two elder brothers and his wife and children at his father-in-law's house. He had to choose to give up his last filial piety for his parents for the sake of the living.
Seeing that the two Da Zhuang brothers were still hesitating, Hu Bo was anxious and said: "Let's go, those officers and soldiers have just withdrawn, if they return, then even you will not be able to save them." "There are not a few people left in Wei Village now, and one can be saved.
"But why?" Xiao Ju came back to her senses, and now she had some spirits, looked at Hu Bo and said, "Why did those people kill and burn the entire Wei Village?" What kind of people did we Wei Village offend to become like this? ”
Xiao Ju's words are also what Wei Yuanshan and the Da Zhuang brothers want to say the most.
"This," Hu Bo frowned and thought for a while, "I came to see what happened here yesterday, but all the people who came to ask the reason were driven away by those officers and soldiers. Because I had bad legs and feet and was slow to dodge, I was pushed and fell off the ridge and fainted. When I woke up, I heard two people on horseback talking, saying that the young lady in the general's mansion should not worry about it now. All the people in Wei Village who know the bottom are dead, and no one knows whether it is true or not. ”
Hearing this, Wei Yuanshan and Da Zhuang couldn't help but look at each other.
They know the matter of Wei Qingluan and Wei Baozhu best, and as soon as Hu Bo heard this, the two of them understood that it must be Wei Baozhu who was afraid that his fake identity would be exposed, so he would let people slaughter the village and kill people.
It's just that Wei Laogen's family is her closest blood relative, didn't Wei Baozhu think that he would suffer from heaven when he let people do this?
But immediately, the two of them also thought that since Wei Baozhu didn't want to be revealed, it meant that Wei Qingluan had not yet entered the General's Mansion, but he had become a threat to Wei Baozhu.
When they exchanged glances again, both of them saw the same idea in each other's eyes: go to the capital, find Wei Qingluan, and wait for an opportunity to avenge all the Wei village people who died in vain.
"Da Zhuang, let's get out of here," among these people, Wei Yuanshan was the oldest, so he made the decision directly, and said, "We will meet at the Gujia Restaurant in Dingping in five days." "The three Da Zhuang brothers and sisters have no other concerns, but he still has two brothers, wives and children.
Gu's restaurant still has some of their payment, because Gu Fei was not there at that time, and it was not settled, and it happened that after meeting there this time, they would make plans whether everyone would go to the capital together or how to arrange it.
"Okay," Da Zhuang nodded immediately. Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is freezing cold, and it is not easy to rush to the capital. In addition to going to Gu Fei's side to settle the accounts, he also had to prepare some things, of course, it was the most convenient to buy them in Dingping City.
And Huber, who had been paying attention to the movements around him, suddenly said, "Okay, you guys go quickly." I looked like someone was coming, and if they found out it was you, it would be bad. ”
Ten taels of silver for a person is a great temptation for the people in the village. Although the village style here is relatively simple, there are also some shameless guys who ask for money.
In order to repay the favor, he followed Wei Yuanshan and Da Zhuang to come here in Wei Village.
Ordinary people, because of the plague or something that the government said, even if they want to come here to make some dead money, they don't dare to set foot easily. So the comers are not good.
Knowing that he couldn't stay here any longer, Wei Yuanshan said, "Let's go separately." ”
"Okay," Da Zhuang nodded. He also quickly turned around in his heart, and said to Xiao Zhuang: "You hurry up and go down to the cellar to get some sweet potatoes and use them as dry food on the road." "Don't worry about others, Xiao Ju's weak appearance is obviously hungry.
