Chapter 12 Hokumo
A few years later, the Allied forces recaptured Sand City, but they also burned and plundered......
At that time, he was already a minor leader under the Allied forces, and he broke into a noble mansion with a large number of soldiers, and they burned them wantonly, thinking that they would take revenge.
As a result, his wife, young children, and elderly parents were found among the bodies of the family...... It turned out that their family was bought as slaves by this nobleman after being sold several times, but they did not expect to be slaughtered by the soldiers he brought.
What is even more tragic and infuriating is that he found out that his wife had committed suicide after being insulted by one of his first-class soldiers, so he went crazy and killed dozens of people in the same barracks with a knife.
As he said this, the bonfire on the ground reflected on his face, and his eyes were as dead as ashes, and his expression was sad.
He said that after that, he vowed not to kill women, children, old and infirm in this life...... So he won't kill her!
Qisheng didn't know why Wu Qi suddenly told her this, maybe it was because the cold wind in the northern night was like a devil crying, or maybe he didn't tell these stories at the moment, so he would never have a chance again!
The next day, she and Wu Qi were still discovered by the Iron Cavalry.
They ran like prey in the snow, and in the end she could only watch as the sharp arrow passed through Wu Qi's chest.
At that moment, she stopped running and cried while holding his hand.
He looked at the sky full of snow and said, "Seven lives...... Run!"
Before the tears in the corners of Qisheng's eyes fell, an iron rider dragged her hair back from behind Qisheng like dragging a prey, scratching a snow mark in the snow, her scalp was numb, and she struggled to kick with her feet, trying to struggle, but to no avail, she could only watch a group of soldiers poke Wu Qi's body with spears, blood splashed, staining a large area of snow.
She was imprisoned in an iron cage with chains around her feet, and because she had ridden on the bones of the tower, they regarded her as a werewolf and a wild beast.
Every now and then, curious soldiers would whip her and try to make her howl like a wolf.
Qisheng is not the only child who is imprisoned, there are also more than a dozen children of her age in the cage next to her, there are five such cages, adding up to about fifty children, and she is the only one who is held alone.
Every day, the soldiers would throw some food to the children in the cages, mostly frozen dry food with a layer of ice, and more generous to Qisheng, throwing raw meat into it......
When night fell, the cold wind was biting, Qisheng curled up in the iron cage, she was injured in many places all over her body, she had not eaten or drunk for three days, her mind was dizzy, and her ears seemed to remember her father's voice in a daze.
She dreamed that she was back in the Barrier Forest, and she and Ta Bone were frolicking happily under the tree house, and then Daddy came over and said let her go back, and she asked where to go?
Daddy said, "Seven lives, live...... Live well......"
The dream shattered, and even in her sleep, she realized that it was her father's last words.
She woke up crying, wiped away her tears, and crawled over to pick up the meat that the soldiers had thrown in, not caring what was raw or cooked, and biting, chewing, and swallowing it all together.
Yes!
To be alive is to have hope, to be alive is to have a turning point, and to be alive is to take revenge!
When you die, there's nothing!
Although Qisheng didn't know why this group of people wanted to arrest her, he knew that unlike the Black Camp Army, what they wanted to arrest was alive. That's why they will be fed, and a bonfire will be lit by the iron cage at night, for fear that they will freeze to death.
In this way, I walked intermittently for nearly two months before I reached my destination.
The children were tied to their hands with a rope and carried to a large two-story house like grasshoppers strung together.
Only Qisheng had her feet chained to her feet, making a clangling sound in the snow, because of her young age, coupled with the torture of these days, her body seemed to have been torn apart, and she was so weak that she could not walk. So, she was almost dragged all the way into the house.
Compared with the decaying cold caves in the north, the houses here are stronger and warmer, and the civil structures are rare here, and it is either rich or expensive to live in such a mansion.
The house has two floors, the lower one is mainly used for reception, and when you open the door, there is a thick layer of black fur felt hanging to protect against the cold wind and snow outside, and several thick hundred-year-old wooden stakes are stable and thick, and it takes three adult men to hug them.
The hall is dark and empty, without too much furnishings, although it is daytime, but the light transmission of the house is very poor, very depressing.
The children knelt on the ground and shivered, bowing their heads and crying silently, and Qisheng was thrown to the ground hard, and the chains on his hands and feet made a cold sound.
"Dear Achim, I'm back. The iron-masked man who had been dragging her knelt down on one knee and said respectfully.
There was a fire in the hall, and Qisheng looked up through the fire in the middle of the hall to look at the high position, it was an old and swarthy face, full of ravines, and a pair of cloudy eyes looked carefully at the kneeling child. The silver hair on the sideburns was covered with lake-colored dzi ornaments, and he was dressed in a heavy gray-white robe, the cuffs and collar were blackened, and the original color could not be distinguished.
In this era, the materials were extremely scarce, coupled with the large temperature difference between day and night, the clothes on her body were extremely precious, and the old woman was wearing a robe made of heavy animal skins and ornaments, which showed that her status was extraordinary.
"How many are there?" said the old man's voice, raising his eyebrows slightly.
"Of the fifty-two boys and girls who were arrested, three died when they returned, and just 49 survived. The man in the iron mask said that his mission this time was to go to the Dongchen border to catch 49 boys and girls back, and now there are just enough numbers.
The old woman walked to Iron Mask with her staff, patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and said, "The god of Xuemo will protect you." ”
"It is my honor to serve the god of Xuemo. Iron Mask covered his chest with one hand.
"Why is this child bound hand and foot with iron chains?"
"He is a wolf child, and he is very strong with wolves, and ordinary ropes cannot hold him. "Iron Mask Road.
"Interesting, I think the god of Shimmer will like it. Acim's eyes narrowed, showing evil.
Fearing that the wolf child would hurt the other children, the soldiers left it alone in the stable.
Seven lives huddled in a corner, scarred, with only a tattered animal skin jacket on his body, shivering from the cold, the winter nights in the northern country are notoriously cold, there is no bonfire and warm clothing, even the strongest people will definitely die if they are placed outside for a night.
The snow was falling, and the cold wind was blowing like a needle, and she only felt that her head was groggy, her limbs gradually lost sensation, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier, so tired and sleepy.
Is she going to die? Is she going to see her father?
"Live, live~" Daddy's last words flashed through his mind.
Qisheng shook his head and forced himself to wake up.
After living for two lives, she was so aggrieved and froze to death, she was unwilling!
She can't just die, she hasn't avenged her father and Ta Gut yet.
To live, she must live well! Fulfill all the wishes that have not been fulfilled in the two lifetimes, so as not to waste the opportunity given to her by God.
