123 Greed for money and death The road to exile

Jin Hua was the first to react, she couldn't take care of her body, she threw herself forward, knelt down in front of Luo Shi, supported the door with both hands, and couldn't tell her to close it, and said earnestly:

"Mother...... Sister-in-law, it's all my fault, don't disown Erkui, the Xirong people are really killed, let's go, let's go quickly! ”

Her poignant voice pulled the confused crowd back to reality-

"Village chief, what to do, Xianxiang is only five miles away from our bitter water township, robbed Xianxiang, the next one will be our bitter water"

The village chief finally got up from the ground, and before he could catch his breath, there was such a bad news blow in his face, which was a slap in the face.

He was ashamed and annoyed, and he smacked his crutches fiercely, and roared hoarsely:

"What are you doing in a daze, hurry home to pick up your wife and children, pack up your things and run!"

"Run, what should I do there, my family has knives and axes, let's send people to arm, we have to protect our homeland, I will give a wage increase, I will give money......"

Old man Jing refused to do it, and seeing that he couldn't persuade the village chief, he had to pull one in the east and coax one in the west, but everyone was busy running for their lives, and no one paid attention to him.

It was only a moment, and the villagers gathered in front of Luo Shi's house scattered like birds and beasts, and there was no one left.

Luo Shi didn't have time to take care of the golden flowers, turned around and went back to the house, wrapped a piece of blue and white cloth, wrapped more than seven winter jackets, took two strings of copper coins, and the silver in the culvert did not move a cent.

Jin Hua was dumbfounded on the side, thinking that this woman was sick, so if she didn't take such a big bag of silver ingots, it would be cheap to put it here for nothing.

Seeing Luo Shi stepping to the stove room to load rations and bacon strips, she secretly took a few steps back, reached out and fished out a handful of silver from the culvert in the palm of her hand, and hurriedly hid it in her clothes.

When Luo Shi filled a few water bladders and water jars with water, Manchu's daughter-in-law also brought the family's carriage frame.

"Hurry up and get in the car, it's too late"

The daughter-in-law jumped down from the car and was about to stuff Qiqi into the car first.

Jinhua came out of the house with her stomach in hand, she shook her hands, and shouted repeatedly:

"I'm pregnant, let me ride in the carriage! Erkui is in a hurry, mother, you tell him to catch the car, I will ride in the carriage with Qiqi, and I will definitely protect her."

Her meaning is obvious, she and Erkui fled in a carriage, barely carrying a Qiqi, and the rest of the people were afraid to hide with two legs.

The daughter-in-law trembled her fingers, and just wanted to open her mouth to scold this black-hearted and selfish daughter-in-law, Luo Shi had already stepped forward and called Qiqi out of the carriage:

"Seventy-seven, come down"

Luo Shi raised a soft smile and opened her arms—

Qiqi stood on the carriage, she flattened her mouth, there was fear in her dark eyes, and when she saw her mother below, Uncle Erkui's aunt was like a marmot, desperately drilling into the carriage. She doesn't want to stay with her aunt, she wants her mother to be with her father! So he cried and jumped into his mother's arms.

Luo Shi grabbed her daughter, held her arms and swayed it gently, and whispered in her ear:

"Qiqi, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid...... I'm a general...... I'm not afraid of bad guys! While sobbing and choking, he waved his little pink fist.

Luo Xian's heart was warm, she kissed her cheek lightly, and then looked at Shengzi on the side, seeing that he had already carried his bags and baggage, and pinned a sickle and machete to his waist, his eyes were full of determination, and he would do it with his life to protect his wife and children.

"Mother, get in the car quickly"

Erkui set up the carriage, and listened to the shouts of killing outside the courtyard getting louder and louder, and his heart became a mess.

A trace of hesitation crossed the eyes of the daughter-in-law, but she finally refused stubbornly, and said:

"I'll go with Shengzi's family, you two run for your lives, you don't have to look for me, I have someone to collect the body!"

"Mother!" Erkui's eyes were full of anxiety, and the horse seemed to sense the danger approaching, and sneered impatiently, irritable.

"Ouch, don't worry about her, it's not your mother, it's better to take care of your wife and the son in your belly!"

Jin Hua flew open the curtain of the carriage, grabbed the root of Erkui's ear, and urged him to hurry up and set up the carriage, just run for his life.

Erkui threw down a sentence: "Sister, mother, take care" and then shook the reins of the horse, and drove the carriage to the direction of the official road at the entrance of the village.

"Lady, let's go quickly, my old man is waiting for me by the forest, let's take a shortcut and take a shortcut faster."

Manchu's daughter-in-law's eyes were moist, she sniffed, and held back her tears.

When disaster comes, they fly separately, not the meat that crawls out of their own intestines, and there will always be a day when they part ways.

Luo Shi thought about it, shook her head and said:

"Where can two legs run more than four legs? We can't run for our lives in such a hurry, let's go up the mountain and hide for a while and see what happens."

This is also the reason why she is unwilling to compete with Jinhua for the carriage, the carriage is eye-catching, and she can't outrun the war horse under the crotch of the Xijon people, so she can't become a screening target?

Fortunately, Shengzi often went into the mountains and forests to hunt, and built a grass hut in it, storing water and grain, as well as emergency medicines, so that he could barely have a place to stay.

Several people supported each other, and they plunged into the fleeing crowd of people in the village.

The Xijon people have already reached the entrance of the village, and their high-pitched smirks and savage Xijon language can be heard from afar.

The screams of men, the screams of women, the cries of children......

The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and a bloody apocalyptic massacre was raging, burning, looting, bloodshed, and the elderly, weak, women and children were not spared.

The men of Sijon broke into the courtyard, rummaged through gold, silver, jade, and grain, and committed adultery with women, and burned the men, and the golden earrings that were in the women's ears, and made them cut off their ears with a knife, and took them away.

Like locusts sweeping away, the village that was once rich and stable has become scorched earth in the blink of an eye.

Luo Shi and the others went against the flow of fleeing people, and found Manchu in front of the forest in the west, and the five people stepped on the muddy road and fled to the mountain forest.

Half an hour later, I finally found a thatched hut built by Shengzi in the waist of the mountain.

Luo Shi put Qiqi on a dry pile of firewood and grass, took out a water bladder and mixed it with a dry bun for her to eat, and then wiped her face with a handkerchief dipped in water - her little face was stained with blood and black ash from the smoke and fire.

Along the way, Luo Shi tried to cover her eyes as much as possible, not to let her see this hell on earth, but Xiao Nizi was still trembling with fright, and at this point, she was still tense and couldn't let go of her crying.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, you can clearly see the situation in the village below and on the official road in the distance.

The village was already full of black smoke, and as soon as it was snatched up, there were about a hundred Xirong cavalry, they were full of gold, silver, grain and rice, and even the war horses were full of bottles and cans, and they had galloped out of the village entrance and chased them down the official road—

Faced with the villagers who fled on foot on the official road, they used their knives to drive, playing without killing, and when the unarmed villagers were exhausted from running and fell to the ground, they would laugh and ride their horses and trample on them—

They would be especially happy to hear the screams of the villagers with their ribs shattered.

Luo Xian's heart was desolate, speechless and choked, she didn't cheer for her right choice at all, the heavy pain, the helpless powerlessness, made her eyes sore and swollen.

War has always been cruel, because of the protection of the Liang family, they are far away from killing, but they delusionally think that they are in a peaceful and prosperous world, which is really ridiculous.

There were fewer and fewer people fleeing on the official road, and the people of Xijon saw a speeding carriage from a distance, and some people whined and whined, and chased after them.

Luo Shi's eyelids jumped, and he immediately looked back, and saw that the daughter-in-law was tired and fell on the edge of Qiqi, and did not see the scene at the foot of the mountain, and his heart was a little wider.

She half-squinted, and watched coldly as the Xijon people shot the horses in the cart with arrows, forcing the carriage to stop—

Erkui took the machete and escorted Jinhua down from the carriage, he desperately brandished the knife and confronted the playful Xirong soldiers, telling Jinhua behind him to run faster.

Taking her life to earn her time to escape, Xirong Bing roared angrily, slashed Erkui with a knife, stepped over his "corpse", and grabbed the fleeing Jinhua!

Jinhua could have escaped the clutches of the devil, but because she carried a lot of silver ingots in her clothes, and her body was heavy, she couldn't run fast at all.

The man of Sijon had a gloomy face and a lewd smile, and he grabbed the golden flower and lifted her whole person from the ground—

The woman kept struggling, the silver on her body kept shaking off, her face was pinched into the color of pig liver, and finally she heard a click, and her neck was pinched off by the man, and the whole person fell to the ground softly.

Perhaps it was the silver that attracted the attention of the Xijon people, who rummaged through the ground and the carriage, ignoring Erkui, who was still breathing on the side, and had his last breath left.

By evening, as the sun had set, the fire in the village had subsided, and the road was littered with corpses.

The Xirong people lined up, followed the official road and went south, galloping towards the capital.

After waiting for another two hours, the night was dark, and Luo Shi came out of the cat in the mountain forest, and the first thing he did was to go to the official road to pick up Erkui's body.

Surprisingly, Erkui is still angry, but Jinhua has been angry for a long time, and one corpse has two lives.

Shengzi went home, and the calf he bought three years ago had grown up, and fortunately he was not poisoned by the Xirong soldiers, so he took it out and put the ox in the carriage.

Carrying Erkui into the carriage, Luo Shi took out the life-saving powder to stop the bleeding and bandaged his wounds.

Aunt Cuiying hugged Qiqi, Uncle Man and Shengzi drove side by side, although the ox cart was slow, fortunately, it was a foot force, and slowly copied the trail to Liangzhou City.

Luo is sure that the Xirong soldiers will definitely bypass Liangzhou City, they kill and plunder the village, aiming at a fast word, if they get involved in the city, they will definitely expose their whereabouts, and provoke the Liang family army to encircle and suppress it, so Liangzhou City must be safe.

When you arrive at Liangzhou City, it is already the third watch, the city gate is under martial law, and no one will be allowed to enter the city.

In addition to Luo Shi, many injured refugees who fled were surrounded outside the city gate, but the guards at the city gate were still hard-hearted and coldly announced:

"On the orders of the Prison Army, Xirong enters the customs, and the whole city is under martial law, only in and out, and no one is allowed to enter the city!"

"Why? We are all the people of Kyushu, I don't believe this is General Liang's order, what kind of bullshit is the bullshit of the army, hurry up and open the city gate and let us in! ”

There were people on the side who were in a hurry, and they jumped up and scolded the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of the prison army, which was very happy.

But what he was waiting for was not an open gate, but a dense barrage of arrows!

"The overseer has an order, and the rebellious people are regarded as enemies, and there is no mercy for killing! Shoot me to death with arrows! ”

At the sound of an order, a rain of arrows flew out from the mouth of the female wall—

In addition to scolding people who were pierced through the heart by ten thousand arrows, he also accidentally injured many innocent refugees on the side, and even nailed a few arrows to the astringent carriage, which scared Qiqi in his sleep and cried.

"Let's go, let's go south directly and go to Tongzhou!"

Luo Shi gritted her teeth, she wanted to buy some dry food and medicine in Liangzhou City, but now it seems that it will not be possible.

As for whether you can escape to Tongzhou smoothly, it depends on the creation along the way.
