Zhang Yunzong's face was heavy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Perhaps, they have already been poisoned." ”

Wen Rong'an has a different view: "The villages here are not far from each other, and there must be mutual exchanges. If the Xiaoyue people slaughtered the village and replaced it, how could they not be discovered by people from other villages? My guess is that they should have put the villagers under supervision, and if someone they know comes to visit, they still need the villagers to come forward to hide their identity. ”

Yan Ran felt that what Wen Rong'an said was reasonable, and said eagerly: "Let's go back and have a look!" ”

When the group returned to the village, as Wen Rong'an expected, the villagers were not killed, but were locked in the cellar that is usually used to store grain.

The cellar is owned by every household, the space is not large, and in order to ensure that the grain is not damp, it is very closed.

However, in order to facilitate the centralized management of the villagers, the Xiaoyue people locked them in two adjacent cellars.

The space is small and the air is not well ventilated, and many people are dying when they are rescued, and there are even newborn babies and elderly people who are suffocated to death.

Yan Ran saw a woman holding a baby who had lost her breath, her eyes were numb and empty, and she was so weak that she didn't even have the strength to cry, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

The enemy in the village has been wiped out by the soldiers, and some have been wounded in the course of the battle.

Zhang Yunzong commanded the soldiers to settle the villagers and the wounded, carry and bury the corpses of the enemy, and clean up the battlefield.

The heavy bloody breath came to her nose, Yan Ran finally held back her retching, and Qingxuan and Jiang Siwan had already run to the side to vomit.

Such a small scene is nothing to a seasoned person, but it is really terrifying to girls who rarely see even dead people.

Yan Ran summoned Qingxuan and others together to do psychological construction for them: "Beining is the first checkpoint in the face of Mobei, and the big and small wars have been going on for many years. When we arrive in Bac Ninh in the future, we will have to see such scenes often, and you must be mentally prepared. In fact, people are already dead, so there is nothing to be afraid of, the important thing is the people who survive. ”

As she spoke, she said to Xuan Yue and Jiang Siwan: "You two go to make some porridge and food to replenish the strength of the villagers and soldiers." ”

She said to Qingxuan and Xian Luo again: "You two bring the medicine box and follow me to treat the wounded." ”

The four of them received the order and acted separately.

Fortunately, Yan Ran understands medical skills and has brought several truckloads of medicinal materials, otherwise this black light will be blind, and there will be nowhere to find a doctor for a while.

Yan Ran looked at the situation of the wounded and the villagers one by one, and dispensed medicine according to different injuries.

After tossing for most of the night, it was only when the sky was slightly bright that everyone was finally settled.

Wen Rongan looked at Yan Ran, who was full of tiredness, and said distressedly: "Ranran, go and rest for a while!" ”

Yan Ran nodded, and dragged Wen Rongan back to the room together.

As soon as the door closed, Yan Ran threw herself into Wen Rong'an's arms and said in a muffled voice: "Cousin, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." It's a decision I made, but I want you to take risks. ”

Wen Rongan asked rhetorically: "Then if you do it all over again, will you still insist on suppressing bandits?" ”

Yan Ran said without thinking: "If I do it all over again, I will definitely be more careful and arrange it more securely, and I will never let anyone be injured, let alone put you in a dangerous situation!" ”

Yan Ran did not regret making the decision to expel the enemy, but was only afraid of Wen Rong'an's ambush.

Wen Rong soothed Yan Ran's head and chuckled: "So, what are you blaming yourself, what you did is worthy of your heart, and I am not hurt." And, even if you don't agree, I'll stick to it. If we have the ability, we must shoulder the corresponding responsibility, and we protect the people, which is where the responsibility of ability lies, and it is also the heart of protecting the family and country. Ranran, you didn't do anything wrong, you did a good job. ”

If they are just ordinary people, when they encounter this situation, they are afraid that they will be powerless even if they want to help.

But they are not ordinary people, Wen Rongan is the former Yu Linwei, Zhang Jian is a general in the army, and they also lead a team of elite soldiers in their hands.

If even they sit idly by in the face of ordinary people being bullied by invading foreign enemies, then what is the point of their existence, and who can the people rely on?

Wen Rongan's voice was gentle but full of power, which played a good role in soothing Yan Ran.

Soon, Yan Ran fell asleep amid Wen Rong'an's soft coaxing.

Wen Rongan tucked the quilt corner for Yan Ran, got up lightly and walked out, and Zhang Yunzong was guarding the door.

Seeing Wen Rong'an come out, Zhang Yunzong glanced at him coldly: "Wen, son, I hope to keep in mind that you and Ran Ran are not yet married, and living in the same room will inevitably hinder her reputation." ”

Wen Rong'an Gujing had no waves, and Wen Sheng responded: "What the young general said is true. ”

Wen Rong'an was gentle and polite, and Zhang Yunzong was not aggressive, so he turned around and left.

Yan Ran didn't sleep long.

After daylight, the villagers gradually regained their strength, and the village also returned to its former vitality.

Yan Ran opened the window, and the morning dew and cool autumn wind had already washed away the bloody air outside.

The sound of children laughing and playing in the distance also made her feel much more relieved by the shock of seeing a small war.

Qingxuan walked in with a basin of water, and saw that Yan Ran had woken up, and said, "Girl, why don't you sleep more?" ”

Yan Ran sighed: "I can't sleep!" Where did my cousin go, he didn't sleep long, why did he get up so early? ”

Qingxuan recalled: "Slave maid look, this morning the son came out of the room where Wen Qi and Fan Mo lived. ”

Yan Ran paused, why did Wen Rongan run to squeeze a room with the two of them?

Immediately, she thought of something again, and snickered: "Cousin, this is seeing that I came to my mother's family, and I have to avoid suspicion?" ”

Yan Ran had just finished combing when she suddenly heard Wen Qi's anxious voice outside: "Is the girl up?" ”

Qingxuan opened the door and asked, "What's wrong...... Ah, who is this, what's going on? ”

When Yan Ran heard the sound, she also got up and walked out.

She saw Wen Rong'an at a glance, and then saw Wen Qi holding a thin boy covered in blood in his arms.

Yan Ran was taken aback and walked over quickly.

Wen Rongan was afraid that Yan Ran would fall, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Yan Ran stood still and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Wen Qi placed the boy on the stone table in the courtyard, and several people followed.

Wen Rong'an explained: "Just now we went out, and we saw that some villagers were beating this boy. ”

Qingxuan suddenly said angrily: "Why? ”

Wen Qi hurriedly replied: "According to the villagers, this boy was brought by the group of Hu Yuren, and he is an idiot, and Hu Yuren locked him up with the villagers. Because of Hu Yuren's evil deeds, many people died in the village, but Hu Yuren has been completely annihilated, and the villagers have nowhere to seek revenge, so they can only vent their hatred on this boy. ”

The boy was skinny and unclothed, and a large area of exposed skin was covered with bruises and blood.

Although Qingxuan looked unbearable, she still asked hesitantly: "Girl, this child is Hu Yuren, can we still save it?" ”

Wen Rongan frowned slightly: "I think it's a little strange, if this kid is really Hu Yuren, how can he be locked up with the villagers?" ”

Yan Ran nodded and agreed with Wen Rong'an's words: "Well, the Hu Yu clan has a small population, so they attach great importance to their heirs. If he really is Hu Yuren, even if he is born stupid, they will not be able to abandon him. ”

Wen Rongan continued: "I suspect that this boy may be from Shengguo, who was kidnapped by Hu Yuren on the way. ”

However, Hu Yuren, who invaded the land of Shengguo, has been annihilated, and the boy is in a coma, he is still an idiot, and everyone has no clue about his identity for a while.

Yan Ran said calmly: "No matter what, he has not hurt the villagers, but he is still a victim, we can't see death without help." ”

Qingxuan nodded and went to help Yan Ran get the medicine box.

Yan Ran treated the boy and found that his body was still good.

It's just that the recent severe malnutrition, coupled with the lack of water and food in the prisoners, has caused physical weakness, and the villagers have suffered some internal injuries from each other's fists and feet, and they are unconscious.

From the bottom of the boy's body, it can be seen that his previous life was still good, which also confirms Wen Rongan's speculation from the side.

Yan Ran prescribed medicine for the boy to treat injuries and conditioning, and temporarily handed him over to Wen Qi to take care of.

Zhang Yunzong exterminated the enemy, and when the task was completed, he was about to return to Beining, and happened to be on the road with Yan Ran and others.

The next day, they set off again.

The boy had not yet sobered up, and he was hated by the villagers, so naturally he could not be left behind.

Yan Ran had no choice but to take him with him, intending to send him to Xuanyang City and hand him over to the government for resettlement.

Yan Ran got into the carriage with Wen Rong'an as usual, but when she saw Zhang Yunzong coming over on a horse, her expression was a little disgusted: "Wen, doesn't the son ride a horse?" ”

Yan Ran explained: "Now that the weather has gradually turned colder, my cousin is weak and can't stand the cold. ”

Wen Rong'an opened his mouth and said nothing.

In fact, his body bones are not so weak, but Yan Ran prefers to treat him as a porcelain doll, and he has no choice.

Zhang Yunzong glanced at Wen Rongan and didn't say anything more.

But after a while, Zhang Yunzong also got into Yan Ran's carriage.

Yan Ranqi said: "Cousin Yunzong, but tired of riding?" ”

Zhang Yunzong replied lightly: "Well, I'm a little tired." ”

After saying this, the three of them were relatively speechless, falling into the embarrassment of a long silence.

Although Yan Ran and Zhang Yunzong have no guesses, they haven't seen each other for many years and have nothing in common to talk about.

And with Zhang Yunzong here, Yan Ran and Wen Rongan can't speak freely.

Therefore they sat dry, and they sat upright, without squinting.

On the way, Wen Qi came to report that the boy had woken up, but he was really stupid and stupid, and no one knew him, not even who he was.

Taking advantage of the fact that the convoy stopped to rest, Yan Ran went to check on the boy's condition, and Wen Rongan and Zhang Yunzong both followed behind.

Winzi had already bathed the boy and changed into clean clothes.

Although the boy had a sallow face due to malnutrition, and there were bruises and bruises on his face that had not subsided, his black and white, moist and bright eyes could tell that he should be extremely handsome.

Yan Ran reached out to test the temperature of his forehead, but he suddenly grabbed Yan Ran's wrist and sniffed hard under his nose.

Then, he bent his eyes and grinned, revealing his neat white teeth, and happily called: "Mother! ”
