Chapter 569: Return to Beijing
At this time, Hu Li, who was carrying the prey in both hands, shook back leisurely, and was startled when he saw the person lying on the ground.
"Can you give me a warning first, it's scary." As he spoke, he looked at the two or three pheasants in his hand, frowned, put them down, and turned around and left.
"It doesn't seem like there's enough to eat."
The dry firewood crackled, and on the thick wooden shelf stood a small fat pig that was not too big or small, the fat pig drooped and closed his eyes, and was roasted by the fire under him, and his body was golden, and the nourishing oil flowers dripped into the fire from time to time, and a spark burst out.
I don't know if it was the aroma that aroused everyone's gluttony, and everyone who had been asleep for a long time opened their confused eyes one after another.
When they saw Shen Xiaoxia and the three people sitting near the fire, some people were surprised, some people were afraid, some people were confused, and some people were surprised.
"Sister Xiaoxia." After Ah Ge was confused for a while, he first helped his mother to get up, and then ran to Shen Xiaoxia's side, with an eager face.
"You saved us again?"
Shen Xiaoxia looked at the innocent Ah Ge, turned his head to look at the two brothers who were bowing their heads, nodded, and shook his head again.
"Originally, it was also our trouble, which is not a credit, but it has affected you."
Ah Ge smiled, turned his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Daddy, this is Sister Xiaoxia I told you." Ah Ge ran to Gu Ren's side, hugged his arm, and called affectionately.
Gu Ren rubbed Ah Ge's head and nodded at her, but his eyes looked at the two brothers who had always lowered their heads.
"Let's go back to the village after we've eaten!"
Ah Ge nodded happily, obviously she was very happy to see Daddy.
"Your village is ruined." Shen Xiaoxia decided to give them a reminder in advance, lest they see that the paradise where they had lived for several lifetimes was easily destroyed by a fire, and it would be too heartbroken.
The people of the watchman village were told of this fact when they came to their senses, and they were all shocked at the moment.
"How so?" Ah Ge shook her head and looked at her sister Xiaoxia in disbelief.
"You eat something first, and we'll talk about it later."
A fragrant roast suckling pig, and in the end, everyone is full of thoughts, and they don't know what it tastes like.
When everyone returned to the watch village, they looked at the scorched broken walls, some of which were still billowing with smoke, and they could no longer see the hustle and bustle and warmth of the past. A lot of people started to cry, they didn't know where they were going if they didn't have this place. How will you live in the future?
Ah Ge lay beside Ah Niang and wiped her tears, looking at the house where she had lived since she was a child, and now there was a handful of ashes left, and she didn't know what to do except cry!
The old man who was over 100 years old with a crutch sighed deeply, and was helped to Gu Ren's side.
"Where will our village go in the future, you can say something!"
At this time, everyone's eyes looked at Gu Ren.
Gu Ren glanced at the two Hu Qing brothers, who had never called him a father until now, then looked at his daughter, looked at her daughter's hopeful and dependent gaze, turned to Shen Xiaoxia and said, "When are you leaving?" ”
"Let's go."
Shangjing is not what the situation is now, Shen Xiaoxia decided to go back first, and the others followed, she had the ability to go faster.
Gu Ren nodded, and said loudly to the people in his village: "If you are willing to stay here, let's rebuild Shouwang Village, and if you want to go out to see the world, just go with them!" We no longer have the responsibility of guarding the dragon veins for generations, and you are all free. ”
The people below are silent, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to choose.
Shen Xiaoxia walked up to Chunhua and the others and said that she planned to leave here first, although Chunhua and the others were dissatisfied, they couldn't, everyone knew that she was worried about her family.
"I'll go with you."
"You stay and take care of them!"
"There's nonsense here."
Shen Xiaoxia knew Hu Qing's stubbornness, and finally nodded, he couldn't miss the time anymore, the two of them and everyone greeted each other, and set off immediately.
After all, the way back has been walked once, and they will not get lost again, and the two of them are good at kung fu, and they both grew up running in the mountains when they were young, so the speed is naturally a lot faster.
In three days, they had already appeared ten miles outside the capital city, but they could not easily get any closer.
Sure enough, as Shen Xiaoxia expected, something must have happened in Shangjing, since they approached within a hundred miles of Shangjing, they found a lot of spies, the closer they got to Shangjing, the more spies, but there were fewer and fewer pedestrians.
"I have to go into the city tonight, and I can't feel at ease if I don't see my family all right."
Hu Qing nodded, took out a human skin mask from his arms, turned around, and the handsome face that was originally full of mountains and rivers has become extremely ordinary, making people lazy to take a second look at it at a glance, and a face that can make people forget what it looks like in the blink of an eye.
Shen Xiaoxia sneered and looked at Hu Qing with some disgust.
"We'll see you in the ten miles of Nancheng."
Hu Qing nodded, seeing Shen Xiaoxia disappear in front of him, and he walked into the woods on the side, and after a while, he carried a few bundles of dry firewood and hurriedly walked towards the capital.
The city wall of Shangjing City is at least ten meters high and ten meters thick, this is the last fortress of the imperial power of Kyushu, it is naturally extremely strong and indestructible, if you want to attack it, it is impossible without thousands of troops and horses!
In the past, there was always a long queue in front of the city gate, but now few people dare to go to the capital easily, because after entering, it is likely that they will not be able to come out easily.
A thin woodcutter, carrying much taller dry wood than him, lined up at the back of the line, and walked forward little by little.
"Stop! Who? ”
The woodcutter drooped his triangular eyes, his eyes were cloudy, and he trembled when he saw the guard guarding the door with the saber, but he did not open his mouth to speak.
"What do you ask?" The guard who had just questioned him was obviously impatient, and raised his voice. There are at least ten times as many guards guarding the gates these days, not counting the people who are secretly watching the gates.
The woodcutter's forehead was sweating, but he just didn't open his mouth.
The movement here attracted the attention of many guards, and the guards who asked the question were even more unhappy, and punched the woodcutter's arm, and the dry wood on the woodcutter's body was immediately scattered all over the ground.
"Oops......" The guard who had just started stumbled, only to feel that he had been slapped heavily behind him, but when he turned around, he didn't see anyone.
"Quick, someone attacked me just now, someone must have attacked the city gate."
With that, he didn't care about the stupid and stupid woodcutter, and began to search for the intruder with people.
The woodcutter slowly picked up the dry firewood, put it on his shoulders again, and walked slowly towards the city.
"You go in first, I'll pack up these guys."
A very pleasant voice came from the woodcutter's ears, but it made him frown, and his footsteps did not pause at all, and when he entered the city gate, he could faintly hear the painful, anxious and confused screams of the guards outside the city gate.
