Chapter 289: The Creek
If these robbers dare to leave someone to assassinate themselves, they must be very clear about the whereabouts of themselves and others. Since this is the case, Li Liu is not in a hurry to pursue the Japanese Kou.
"Let's help the survivors treat the wounded first, and remember to prevent the pirates from getting involved. Li Liu commanded.
"Yes!" Lin Pingzhi and more than 100 other disciples of the Wuyue Sect agreed in unison, and scattered to find the surviving villagers.
Seeing that the disciples of the Wuyue Sect were all busy, Li Liu walked towards a small figure in the distance. Xu Jingyu and Ren Yingying glanced at each other, and they both tacitly understood that they followed Li Liu and walked over.
In front of her, a little girl of about three or four years old was crying in front of the corpses of a middle-aged couple. Her voice was probably a little hoarse because of the long crying, maybe she was tired of crying, and the sobbing became intermittent.
Sensing that Li Liu and the three were coming, the little girl glanced back at Li Liu and the three of them, and her voice, which was already sobbing in a low voice, suddenly became crying: "I want my father, I want my mother's ......"
Li Liu sighed, she was able to escape the slaughter of the Japanese Invaders, and she was not killed by the Wolves who came to assassinate her, this girl was really lucky.
"Little sister, don't cry. Ren Yingying's mother's love was overflowing, and she squatted down and wiped her tears for the little girl with a handkerchief.
"I want Dad, I want Mommy. The little girl turned her head to look at Ren Yingying, and continued to look at the corpses of her parents on the ground and cried.
Ren Yingying's heart was sour, and she stroked the little girl's head and said softly: "Mom and Dad are tired, let them rest for a while, and when they have rested enough, they will get up to play with you." ”
"Really?" the little girl turned her head to look at Ren Yingying, her eyes full of doubt, "I used to wake up my parents when they fell asleep." ”
Ren Yingying nodded: "Of course it's true, Mom and Dad are very tired today, so they sleep very deeply." ”
Li Liu took out a ruby from his backpack and put it in front of the little girl and said, "If you don't cry, this gem will be given to you." ”
The crystal clear, red pomegranate-like gem instantly attracted the little girl's attention.
The little girl sobbed twice, and suddenly asked with her eyes, "Big brother, can you really give me this stone?"
Li Liu nodded: "As long as you don't cry obediently, it's yours." ”
The little girl turned her head to look at her parents who were no longer alive on the ground, and then turned her head and asked Ren Yingying: "Big sister, are my parents really just asleep?"
Ren Yingying nodded and said, "They are tired and asleep." ”
The little girl said: "But just now the uncles said that they were dead and left me forever." ”
Ren Yingying was stunned for a moment, and couldn't find the words to answer for a while.
Li Liu sighed: "Don't you want this gem?"
The little girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "If Mom and Dad don't die, I want it." ”
Li Liu smiled and said, "Mom and Dad didn't die, they just went to a world without sadness." They haven't really left you either, and their souls will be by your side and bless you at all times. ”
"You must be hungry, I'll take you to eat something delicious, okay? Li Liu said and stretched out his hands to hug the little girl.
The little girl didn't know if she was attracted by Li Liu's gems, or because the big brother's smile was very kind, or because she was really hungry, so she didn't refuse Li Liu, and was hugged by Li Liu very obediently.
Li Liu walked towards the outside of the village with the little girl in his arms, trying to let her see less of the miserable scenes in the village.
Seeing Li Liu take the little girl away, Xu Jingyu and Ren Yingying hurriedly asked someone to carry the bodies of the little girl's parents down for burial.
Li Liu's backpack can keep all kinds of food fresh and insulated, and anything that is put in it will remain in its original state except for living animals. So Li Liu put some steamed buns, buns, chicken thighs and other foods in his backpack.
Now the little girl is holding a hot bun in her left hand, and she is holding a fragrant chicken leg in her right hand and is happily gnawing on it. After all, it is a child who is only three or four years old, and delicious food overcomes the temptation of gemstones, but also dilutes the sorrow of losing a loved one.
After a cup of tea, the follow-up troops of the Wuyue faction also rushed to the village.
The well-fed little girl was holding a ruby in her arms, and looked curiously at the disciples of the Wuyue Sect. It's the first time she's seen so many people when she's grown so big.
The disciples of the Wuyue faction helped the surviving villagers to bandage their wounds and bury the dead people. Seeing that it was still early, Li Liu ordered everyone to continue to move forward, maybe they would be able to catch up with the group of Japanese robbers who were slaughtering the village.
Li Liu planned to hand over the little girl to an old man in the village to raise, but this girl seemed to be dependent on Li Liu, and she was unwilling to get off Li Liu.
Xu Jingyu said with a smile: "This child has no parents, since she is so clingy to you, you can accept it as a goddaughter." ”
Li Liu said speechlessly: "Didn't you hear people call me big brother? Besides, we're not married yet. ”
Hearing Li Liu talk about getting married, Xu Jingyu and Ren Yingying's faces turned red all of a sudden, and they were speechless in an instant.
Li Liu asked the little girl: "Little sister, if you are not willing to follow the old man, then the big brother can only take you away, are you willing to leave your hometown?"
The little girl looked at Li Liu, then at Xu Jingyu and Ren Yingying, and said, "I know that you are actually lying to me, and my parents are actually dead and have left me forever." There are a lot of delicious foods in the big brother's bag, and only by following the big brother will you not be hungry, so don't want to leave me. ”
Li Liu touched his forehead speechlessly, how could such a young child be so smart. I thought that the little girl was no longer sad because she and the words of others successfully fooled her. feelings, I and others were fooled by this child.
Xu Jingyu sighed and said, "Take it." ”
Ren Yingying also nodded, looking at the little girl's eyes full of pity.
Li Liu asked the little girl who was stroking the ruby with a comfortable face, "Little sister, what's your name?"
The little girl said, "My name is Xiaoxi, the stream of the stream." ”
Xiaoxi? Li Liu's mind buzzed, and he couldn't help but think of the creek he saw in the illusion of the Thief King. The two of them look completely different, but the intelligence and the weird cuteness of the elves are like thieves. Especially when you touch the ruby and enjoy it, you are completely alone. Moreover, the name is also the same, how can it be so coincidental?
Li Liu asked, "Xiaoxi, what is your full name, or tell me your surname." ”
Xiaoxi shook his head, kept his eyes on Ruby and said, "I'll call Xiaoxi, the stream of the stream." ”
It seems that this girl doesn't know what her last name is. Li Liu had no choice but to ask for help from the old man in the village, and learned from the old man that Xiaoxi's family surname was Huang and he fled from Henan a hundred years ago. Xiaoxi's father is named Huang Chenzhu, and his mother You is from this village.
Fortunately, he didn't have the same name and surname as Guan Xiaoxi in the fantasy. Li Liu breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.
After bidding farewell to the villagers, Li Liu continued on the road with Huang Xiaoxi.
At present, the eradication of the Japanese is still the first priority, and the reconstruction of the village is up to the local government to help the villagers.
From the clues on the ground, it is possible to discern the route of the Japanese and the approximate number of people. There were about two or three hundred of them, and they carried a large number of livestock. Because in addition to the footprints of people, there are also many footprints of cattle, sheep and pigs on the land.
This group of pirates drove their livestock, and it was estimated that the journey would not be too fast, so Li Liu and his disciples of the Wuyue faction followed the traces left by the pirates all the way.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the Wuyue disciples of the sentinel in front came to report, and found a crowd gathering three miles ahead, looking at what the other party was wearing, mostly in Dongying Ronin costumes.
Hearing the report, the disciples of the Wuyue Sect suddenly perked up, and the fatigue of rushing seemed to disappear in an instant. Under the leadership of Li Liu, 3,000 disciples of the Wuyue Sect quietly touched the location where the Japanese were stationed.
The lights were bright ahead, people were shouting horses, and nearly 300 would-be robbers were burying pots and making rice. After slaughtering some cattle and sheep in the pot, the aroma wafted to the noses of the disciples of the Three Thousand Five Mountains. Through observation, Li Liu found that not all of these Japanese were Dongying people, and among the three hundred or so Japanese invaders, more than half of them were Chinese.
The disciples of the Three Thousand Five Mountains also found out about this situation, and they all gritted their teeth and cursed this group of traitors in a low voice. He was frantically following the Japanese to rob and slaughter his compatriots, which was simply a herd of livestock.
Some of these Japanese are cooking, some are feeding the horses, and some Dongying ronins are dancing the Dongying dance, and many Chinese people are beating for them.
The whole camp was in disarray, unguarded.
There were no prisoners in the hands of the Japanese except for the looted livestock in the village, and Li Liu issued the order to rush and kill without the slightest concern.
The disciples of the Three Thousand Five Yue Sect held long swords and rushed towards the Japanese Kou like a tide. The pirates were a little overwhelmed by this sudden attack, and they didn't react until the disciples of the Wuyue Sect, who were distinguished by light skills, rushed forward and swung their swords and cut off many heads.
The reacting pirates did not take up arms and fight hard, but turned around and ran. As soon as it was dark, the three thousand Wuyue Sect disciples poured in, and in the eyes of the Wako, they were densely packed, and they didn't know how many Wuyue Sect disciples had come. The Japanese are not fools, this mountain is full of enemy troops, and there is only one way to die if they stay and fight hard.
But can they really escape?
Nearly 300 pirates were like ants running before the flood, and they were submerged in an instant.
3,000 martial arts people surrounded and beat 300 Japanese robbers, and there was no suspense in this battle, although some of them saw that there was no hope of escape, and brandished Oriental swords to resist desperately, but it was useless. If you can't make tea, none of these people will survive.
Since the Wuyue disciples went on the expedition, they have been warmly welcomed by the people and their eyes full of hope all the way, and their hearts have been breathless. They all want to use the long sword in their hands to make a name for themselves, and they are all bloody Chinese, not just chivalrous people who are happy to take revenge.
