Volume II: Chapter 41: Fluttershy
Li Xiang didn't know how to describe the scene in front of him, but there was a kind of anger rising in his heart.
These are grass houses and the like, which were originally the homes of these unpretentious peasants, but at this time a raging fire had already ignited on them, not by accident, but by the whole village, which was obviously done on purpose.
This is a small village with forty or fifty households, and it stands to reason that this kind of small village should be very lively, but at this time, Li Xiang didn't even hear a dog bark.
Shi Laosan had already sensed that something was wrong, and when he walked into the village, everyone fell silent, and the scene in front of him made people feel a chill and deep anger.
On the ground were the corpses of the peasants who were supposed to be making a fire at home, and they were not peacefully dead, with fear on their faces, and angry expressions on their faces.
Shi Laosan got off the horse, his body was a little stiff and walked to the front of a house, this house was not burned much, perhaps because of the heavy snow, the original flame did not turn into a raging flame.
Shi Laosan slowly pushed open the door, and found that his hands seemed to be trembling.
After pushing the door open, it was not much different from the scene outside, the corpses of two old people were lying on the ground, and it was obvious that they had resisted violently before they died.
The old man still held a kitchen knife for chopping vegetables in his hand, and behind him was his wife, who was protected.
And by the wall there was a disheveled girl, who seemed to have been dead for a long time, and in her eyes there was a deep despair.
The others went to the rest of the village to investigate, and only Li Xiang was left with Shi Laosan here, Li Xiang felt that Shi Laosan's current state was very wrong, but he didn't find anything when he looked at his brothers.
Shi Laosan walked over and put the bodies of the two old men in place, and was tripped over the table in the process, it stands to reason that this kind of master will not happen to this kind of master.
Shi Laosan turned his back to Li Xiang and them, and Li Xiang and they tacitly did not help Shi Laosan, and at this time, these people did not play a role.
Li Xiang could feel that Shi Laosan, who was trembling slightly, was suppressing his anger and pain.
Walking to the girl's side, Shi Laosan slowly put on the girl's clothes, and sorted out his clothes carefully like a father.
This is a young girl in the flowering season, although she is dressed modestly, but it does not hide her good countenance, and her beautiful face shows a beauty from the purest of it, but now there is only despair on her face, and deep fear in her eyes.
Shi Laosan closed his eyes, hugged him and put the corpses of the two old men together, his movements were very light, as if he was holding his sleeping daughter and couldn't bear to wake up, when he put it down carefully, he saw a trace of love from his father on Shi Laosan's face.
Li Xiang once saw this expression in his father when he was young, which came from a father's deepest love for his children.
"Her name is Fluttershy, and when we go out together, we all come back to these stops, and she likes to hear me tell her stories at that time, and I tell him about the good and funny things we have encountered outside."
Shi Laosan's voice was a little choked, it is hard to imagine what it is like for a man as strong as a bear to show such a weak side in front of you, Li Xiang didn't know before, but now he knows, but there is only sympathy in his heart, and a faint sadness.
Shi Laosan looked at the corpses of several people on the ground and continued, "Really, Fluttershy is a very beautiful girl, and there is light in his eyes, which we have never seen in the thick of us who shout and kill on the rivers and lakes. ”
"Really, some time ago I also said that I wanted to find her a good mother-in-law, and I wanted to find her a hero-like character to be his father-in-law, at that time she blushed and said that she would accompany her grandparents and me for the rest of her life."
"Every time I come here, I feel like I'm in a lot of trouble with others, but when I see Fluttershy's smile and her eyes, I feel like everything is fine."
Shi Laosan said with a smile on his face, as if he thought of some happy memories, but everyone knew how much sadness was hidden under this smile.
"It's useless for me to be a big brother, if it's me."
"Let's go, let's find a lamp master, I want to find the most powerful master to pray for her, and she will be good in the next life."
Shi Laosan took Fluttershy on the ground, and Shi Laosan walked outside.
Looking at Li Xiang at the front, Shi Laosan said slowly: "Brother Night, can you help me bring the second elder over?" ”
"Hmm."
"Thank you."
Shi Laosan slowly walks out of the room holding Fluttershy's corpse, walking very slowly, as if holding something heavy.
Holding the old man's corpse, Li Xiang felt a different kind of heaviness, he didn't know who did this kind of thing, but Li Xiang was very angry, although Li Xiang had killed a lot of people now, but every time, Li Xiang had a reason.
Li Xiang doesn't want to kill people casually, every life is worthy of respect, and he will only kill for self-protection when he is threatened, but killing is not Li Xiang's original intention, if he can, Li Xiang wants to solve the problem well.
As Shi Laosan walked to the middle of the village, there were already many corpses that had been searched by others, but they didn't see any living people.
Master Yi Lan and Ci En were sitting in the middle chanting, they wanted to surpass these dead souls, at this time someone had already recognized Yi Lan and Ci Grace, but no one opened their mouths to break the silence, and everyone's heart was suppressing anger.
Although they were angry, everyone was very restrained, and did not say anything, just silently searched the whole village, trying to find the people who were still there.
Putting Fluttershy's body down, Shi Laosan said, "Master, please." ”
Master Yideng just glanced at Shi Laosan and continued to chant, in his eyes, these people are all the same, the same poor people who can't be born here.
Li Xiang and Shi Laosi put down the body of the second elder, and when they got up, Li Xiang felt Shi Laosan's body shake, but he didn't say anything.
The reason why they didn't say it was because they were afraid that they would collapse if they said it, although they said that they were strong in martial arts, but they were also human beings, living people, and a heart was also fleshy.
But as the initiator of this operation, Shi Laosan knew that he couldn't collapse, he could be sad and angry, but it was impossible to collapse.
Everyone here can fall to the ground and cry bitterly, they can all collapse, but he can't, he can only suppress the sadness in his heart, and at some point in the future, maybe if he is still alive after the battle of Xiangyang, find his brother to cry bitterly.
Master One Lamp was still chanting silently, but when none of the corpses were sent over, Master One Lamp's voice would pause.
As a monk, and a very old monk, it stands to reason that he is used to seeing life and death, but I don't know why, Yilan can't feel the slightest peace.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are things that everyone has to experience, and I have seen a lot of them, but those things that happened because of their own reasons, but what are these things in front of us.
You don't have to guess who did it, Li Xiang didn't expect that the Yuan people had been arrogant to this point, if it was on the battlefield, it was normal to die as much as possible, Li Xiang would not feel anything, although it was very cruel, but dying on the battlefield was the fate of every soldier.
At this time, a person came over with a swaddling baby, gently placed it on the ground, did not speak, just looked at Master Yilan with a very puzzled look, he did not understand why such a small baby would be killed.
The chanting of the first lamp stopped, and looking at the baby in front of him, who was only a few months old, the face of the master of the first lamp showed a hint of anger, and finally the master of the first lamp stroked some of the babies with his calloused hands and continued to chant.
But what are these civilians in front of him, Li Xiang thinks that he can't do this, and for the Yuan soldiers who haven't seen it yet, Li Xiang has already sentenced them to death.
