Volume 2 Text Chapter 86 The Coffin

Through Jiang Yiru's story, everyone at Yuzhou College finally knew the ins and outs of the attack on Mill Town.

Yesterday afternoon, the originally peaceful and peaceful Mill Town was surrounded by more than a thousand barbarian elite guards, led by the horned helmet warrior.

The barbarian soldiers blocked the roads on both sides of the mill and then attacked the mill gates.

Due to the strong walls of the town and the unity of the townspeople, the barbarians attacked for a day and were repulsed again and again, and there was no substantial progress, but at this time, the mayor of the town, Chen Cheng, suddenly rebelled, and in the early hours of this morning, Chen Cheng sneaked into the house of another captain of the Fourth Heavenly Guard and killed him in his sleep, and then introduced the barbarians from the path on the south side, so hundreds of barbarians rushed into the interior of the mill town without hindrance, and the barbarian soldiers inside and outside the mill town joined forces and finally broke through the town.

After the barbarian soldiers entered the mill town, they burned and plundered, many of the townspeople who dared to resist were destroyed to death, the wails of children and the screams of women were endless, except for the few hundred townspeople who struggled to escape when the town was broken, more than 19,000 people in the rest of the mill town could not escape their clutches, more than 14,000 people were killed, and more than 5,000 were imprisoned.

Just when Jiang Yiru and dozens of townspeople were pressed onto the execution table in the same group, Wang Zhen, the deputy tutor of the Jiazi Academy, arrived in time and rescued Jiang Yiru and them. But what Wang Zhen didn't know was that there were three Fourth Heaven powerhouses in Mill Town at this time: the leader of the Ox Horn Helmet, another barbarian commander Talmu, and the traitor Chen Cheng.

Wang Zhen, who fled with them, was quickly intercepted by Telmu, who fought desperately to the death and inflicted heavy damage on Telmu, but was also killed by the leader of the horned helmet.

Jiang Yiru and dozens of others were desperately resisting.

Jiang Yiru took advantage of Talmu's serious injury to attack his unprepared sneak attack, and sacrificed a fire spear to pierce Talmu's heart.

As soon as Talmu died, the leader of the horned helmet began to roar angrily, and the barbarian guards rushed up and grabbed Jiang Yiru, cut off her legs with heavy swords, and blinded Jiang Yiru with iron guns, and then imprisoned her alone in a hut.

What happened later was what Zhou Feng saw.

Jiang Yiru sat on the wooden board of the ruins, speaking a little calmly, but judging from her clenched hands, this kind woman's heart must be full of hatred and helplessness.

Wu Qianyu gently hugged Jiang Yiru with her hand and cried in a low voice.

Zhou Feng and Mu You came to the storehouse where the townspeople were held at the foot of the execution platform, rescued thousands of townspeople, and then found Wang Zhen, whose body was already cold, in a corner.

Mu You sat next to the dead Wang Zhen and spoke slowly, as if complaining to an old friend: "Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen, why can't you wait for me to come over? When you were in school, you always wanted to be one step ahead, and now you ....... And now you're rushing to die...... You!!"

After a pause, Mu You continued, "But it's all my fault....... Blame me ......."

He covered his face and couldn't say any more.

Zhou Feng stood behind the right side of the wood, looking at the sun above his head, without words.

......

Two hours later, the legions of the German King City also arrived belatedly.

"Sister Yiru, we are going back to King De City, will you go back with us?" Wu Qianyu said to Jiang Yiru.

Jiang Yiru covered her knees and stood up with difficulty, and Zhou Feng stepped forward to support her.

Jiang Yiru said: "I'll go over in a few days, the mayor of the town betrayed, the captain of the guard died, and now the mill town is full of devastation, and I can't leave." ”

Wu Qianyu persuaded: "But your body?"

Jiang Yiru shook her head and said to Wu Qianyu: "It's okay, I'm just a little weak now, just take a day off." ”

Wu Qianyu heard that Jiang Yiru was so stubborn, and gave Zhou Feng a look.

Zhou Feng stepped forward and said: "Sister Yi Ru, the reconstruction of Mill Town will help Wang Cheng, although your body has recovered now, I don't know if there will be any changes, I can rest assured if I keep you by my side." ”

Jiang Yiru smiled and said: "I understand what you mean, in fact, I am really happy to see you come back, and I am reluctant to part with you, but look at these townspeople......."

Jiang Yiru looked at the townsfolk walking by beside him, and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart: "After waiting for these seven or eight days, I will definitely go to Yuzhou Academy to find you." ”

Seeing that Jiang Yiru had made up their minds, the two of them had no choice but to stop stopping them.

Wu Qianyu said: "Then Sister Yiru, don't forget your promise, I will come back to see you on vacation." ”

Jiang Yiru agreed seriously: "Silly girl, how could Sister Yiru lie to you, and I still have an unfulfilled long-cherished wish to go to Dewang City." ”

I didn't know what Jiang Yiru's long-cherished wish was, but Zhou Feng and the others didn't ask again.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Mu You took more than 30 students of Yuzhou College and five corpses of brave heroes who died at the hands of the barbarians, and began to return to Dewang City.

Looking at the coffin covered with white coarse cloth behind it, Zhou Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the same courtyard where they were talking and chatting together a few days ago was separated in the blink of an eye, and people's lives seemed to be so humble that they would be lost if they didn't pay attention to it.

Since coming to another world, death has become no longer strange to Zhou Feng, but more like a part of life, and he has been witnessing the departure of life almost every week. Among them, there are good people and bad people, some of them die of money, and some of them die of responsibility.

In the Hongwen Continent, it seems that death is a part of life, to be honest, Zhou Feng doesn't like this, but now he is powerless to change anything, he is thinking, if he dies one day, will he be like these people behind him, covered with a white cloth, chanting and praying, and then turning into a pinch of dust. Or is there no one who will remember him at all, and when he dies, he is like the wind, blowing and then disappearing?

Looking at Zhou Feng, who was a little confused in his eyes, Liu Mengmeng gently grabbed him with his hand.

Zhou Feng turned his head to look at Liu Mengmeng who was smiling, and said softly, "Huh, what's wrong Mengmeng?"

Liu Mengmeng sat on the horse and asked, "I see that you are fascinated, what are you thinking?"

Zhou Feng said: "I'm wondering, if we die one day, will anyone miss us." ”

Liu Mengmeng did not shy away from it, and said bluntly: "If you are gone, I will miss you, if I am gone, will you miss me?"

Looking at Liu Mengmeng, Zhou Feng nodded.

Wang Jielin also rode over, he said: "Death is actually terrible or not, this is a problem that everyone has to experience, but some people are earlier and some are later, the key is whether your death is meaningful." ”

Zhou Feng deeply agreed: "There is a famous historian named Sima Qian in our place, who also said that people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, and they tend to be different from each other. I can't imagine that you are separated by two worlds, but you have the same opinions. ”

Wang Jielin suddenly became interested and asked: "Then this, a historian of horses or something, can I have a chance to get to know him?"

Zhou Feng was helpless and replied: "I'm afraid it won't work, Sima Qian has been dead for two thousand years." ”

"Ahh Wang Jielin couldn't help but regret it.

"yes, but I can tell you his story when I have a chance. Zhou Feng said.

Wang Jielin said: "Really? ”

Liu Mengmeng also said: "Tell stories, I also want to listen!"

Zhou Feng hurriedly said: "Okay, I'll talk to you when I have time." ”

Looking at Zhou Feng and the three of them, Wu Qianyu and Mu Ling'er rode side by side, their expressions revealing an indescribable sadness.
