Chapter 50: Before the Calvary
We looked around and found that the old man had fallen to the ground not far away, and the house was also very damaged by the fire. I feel very sad, although we have known him for a short time, he himself could not escape this catastrophe in order to save us two young people who have never known each other, whether it is human or strange, it all seems to be real, I can't figure out what the situation is.
When we walked out of the house, there were all kinds of corpses lying messily outside, all of them ordinary people, and the death was horrific. Da Waist and I were silent, we have not experienced war properly, seeing this cruel scene, I think he is as sad and helpless as I am.
Suddenly, he pulled me so hard that I fell on him and fell on top of him. At the moment when we fell to the ground, I saw an arrow flying "whoosh" from the position of my head just now, and I turned my head to see that a team of centaurs had already rushed towards us with a guy, led by a cavalryman on a horse, with both the body and the body of the horse wearing armor, and the arrow just now was shot by this bastard.
I can't say it in my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to run away now. As soon as we stood up, the infantry had already come up and surrounded us. I couldn't run, I couldn't fight, and just as I was trying to figure out what to do, someone from behind rushed up and cut my hand behind me, and kicked me to my knees.
The big waist next to him also ate this set, and he was about to shoot with a firearm, but his wrist was directly released. These guys seem to have a lot of strength, and no matter how hard I struggle, I can't move a bit.
The guy on the horse seemed to look at us with a smirk, and then he made a gesture to his subordinates, and I wondered, is this trying to correct us on the spot? I've never experienced what it's like to lose my head in my life, but it's unjust to die at the hands of these strange soldiers.
I continued to struggle, but it didn't work at all, and I couldn't even get up. My heart is beating wildly, I don't know, could it be that Lao Tzu is really going to give his life in these few seconds today? Will you be able to see your neck right away?
But to my surprise, they didn't slaughter us with a single sword, but dragged us and walked somewhere, and the road was full of tragic scenes after the killing, and even smelled blood.
As I walked, I gradually heard a desperate cry not far away, and in the fog and darkness, I gradually saw that in addition to the two of us, there were many people who had been arrested and gathered in one place, looking at the number of people, not ten thousand, but also thousands, and there were also cries from other places, and there were probably more than one of those who were captured alive.
After we were escorted to the place, the soldiers behind us pushed us into the crowd.
Most of the people in the crowd are women, the elderly, and young people like us are very rare. They cried and cried, and some of them sat quietly on the ground and looked at us. There was an irresistible despair in this group of people. But those farther away from us were crying louder, and those closer to us hid their faces and wept and were silent.
The Great Xia Kingdom was the regime of the Huns, and the historical records were very barbaric, and you don't have to think about it to know that there is no good fruit to eat when you are a captive of Great Xia. Whether I was taken back as a slave, or dragged to the forefront of the siege, or what I did, I really can't tell, after all, I don't specialize in this history, and it's not a good thing anyway.
Standing is also dry, curiosity takes the two of us to the place where the crying is loudest, maybe this is the love of watching the excitement in our bones. After walking a short distance, we saw the people in front of us being dragged aside by the soldiers one by one, and I had a sense of foreboding.
Sure enough, the person who was dragged struggled desperately and couldn't break free, until he was escorted to a strong man with a big knife, and was kicked and rolled to the ground, and the big man stepped on his back, and the knife fell in his hand, and a life ended.
Then the soldiers threw themselves into the fire pit on the side, and the big man lifted his head and threw it behind him.
I had been keeping an eye on the poor man, not paying attention to the big man's back, until then I could see clearly, it was a small hill of so many heads, one glance was enough to make people's hairs stand on end, and I saw at a glance that there were soldiers, some people, some white-haired, some black-haired, some men and some women.
And then there's the next ......
This...... What the is this, Kyokan?! I remember that in the "Zizhi Tongjian", it is called this thing calvary, which is a platform built with a human head.
I gasped, only to feel my liver tremble, I quickly retreated to the back of the crowd with the big waist, he should have seen that scene just now, and he was also very panicked.
"What time is it, why isn't it dawn?" I asked him.
"I count...... It should be, it should be half past four, it should be soon. ”
"Hurry up, or we'll be wronged when it's our turn."
So we seemed to start a race between sunrise and death, and we were all sitting on the sidelines watching the game in horror, but we were blocked with our lives.
We sat on the ground anxiously waiting, the executioner seemed to be moving faster than we thought, and the crowd kept dwindling, which made us even more uneasy.
I asked him, "Do you think we can escape this today?"
"What, is there anything you can do?"
"No, I really can't think of anything other than waiting for the sun to come out."
"Alas, let it be fate, even if we die, at least our brothers died on the same day, the same month, and the same year. But I also want to live, and I can't live without a father if my son is not born. ”
I smiled slightly: "Sure enough, my son is still more important than my brother."
"This is called father's love like a mountain, do you understand?"
I said to myself, sorry buddy, I really don't understand. After I went to college, no one knew that I was a single parent, and I didn't mention it to Big Waist, so there is no need to say more now.
I laughed as if he had made a good joke, and my mind continued to think about the possibility of us getting out. I had two arms and legs all over my body, and it was impossible to escape by this, and I was surrounded by soldiers with armor and spears.
Ay? I still have the same piece of gold I picked up from the grave robbers. Is it possible to use it to buy a life?
I dispelled this idea, and now I take it out to buy my life, isn't it equivalent to donating it for nothing? Don't delay killing me after taking it.
But it's a useful thing, and gold is hard currency in all times. How can you get the most out of this thing? I continued to think.
Seeing that there are fewer and fewer people in front of us, it seems that it will be our turn soon. It doesn't mean that the sky is going to light yet.
I asked the big waist: "You say, why are our two lives so miserable?"
"Who knows, maybe it's going to be like this."
Ay? Life? That's right, life!
"I have a way, back then, these people were not properly civilized, and they were very confused about some things. You must remember to call me Daddy at the critical moment! ”
After speaking, without waiting for him to answer, I suddenly stood up straight and shouted: "I know five hundred years, five hundred years, it is ominous to kill me!"
The soldiers and civilians around me looked at me, and I continued to shout loudly in order to attract attention.
Sure enough, I noticed that there were several men in armor who were walking towards me quickly, and I spotted the most luxuriously dressed one among them, and rushed towards him with his big waist, and I saw him draw his sword to stab me, and I quickly took out the piece of gold and offered it with both hands.
As the saying goes, it is the truth of the truth that the hand is short, and he stared at the sword and plunged it into the scabbard, snatching the gold before he smiled with great satisfaction.
"I want to see King Xia! Please bring your son to the saint! "I'm not particularly professional in history and paleographies, so that's the limit I can think of.
The big waist was also very cooperative, and shouted: "Dad!" and pounced behind me.
He took the gold, looked at me, and then at the big waist, and seemed suspicious.
"I have known five hundred years, five hundred years, and I have regained the art of immortality, and now there are three out of sixty, and my face has not changed. I know that the Xia Emperor's industry will be prosperous, and I want to tell him by heaven. "After saying that, I bowed to the ground.
But the man was silent, hesitated for a moment, and then made a gesture to his subordinates, and the two of us were set up again and followed him.
I secretly rejoice in my heart, there is a way for this matter, whether it can be fooled or not, it can buy us a lot of time.
Sure enough, we were taken outside a tent, outside where the Guards were aggressive, glaring at us with sharp swords in their hands. I was a little overwhelmed by this aura, but reason told me that next, I had to be brave!
The leader just now went in to pass the ceremony, and not long after, we were pressed in, and at a glance we saw that the person sitting in the middle, wearing gold armor, must be L Bobo. I have to say that although history records that this is a brutal master, it seems that he is really heroic, majestic, and born with a tiger's back, and must be a brave man.
We were brought in and knelt down, and the people behind us did not let go of their grip on us, holding our hands firmly, and you can imagine how painful the angle of our arms was.
I glanced at the big waist, and then quickly bowed down, which was considered to be free of my hands.
When I looked up and saw that he and a group of fierce generals were also staring at me.
At this point, you have to start fooling.
So I spoke: "Congratulations to King Xia, the emperor will prosper, and China will be unified!"
L Bo was silent for a while, then opened his mouth and said, "Drag it out and cut it."
