Volume 1 The Fire Mage Who Knows Martial Arts Chapter 34 Since ancient times, there have been many separations
"Granny Liu got married at the age of fifteen, her husband is two years older than him, the two are very affectionate after marriage, the fly in the ointment is that there are no heirs, I don't know which side of the problem, but the two have never blushed for this matter, and there are no other trivial matters. When she was twenty-two years old, her husband went to the Xiangjiang River to fish and drowned. My mother-in-law is seventy-nine years old and has been widowed for fifty-seven years, hey, it's so pitiful. ”
"Then she said to wait for her husband to come back?"
After the first seven days, she said that her husband had gone to a far away place to do business, and it would be a long time before he returned home. Every year, she also posted a happy word on the door, and when others asked why, she said that she would always be his bride and would always wait for him to come back. Hey, everyone says she's crazy, but she has no problem in her daily life, relying on sewing and mending, planting an acre of green vegetables to make a living. Over time, everyone gets used to it. ”
Li Dashi's face was faintly sad, and he continued: "Her husband is a child, he is not highly educated, he does not understand the rhythm of poetry, and he only makes a lot of vernacular verses to read to her, and the few lines you hear are her favorite poems. ”
"The verse is bleak, is there a whole poem? I want to hear it. ”
After listening to it for many years, I have memorized it, and the whole sentence is like this: Si people are independent, let Qin Yue splash, and his back is like smoke; The starry eyes are open, the sword eyebrows are raised, and the red powder attracts the Longquan sword; the pen walks the dragon and snake dare not stop, afraid that the words will become a sword, and only remember the brightness that has nothing to do with the epic. Negative soil to build the city, Wei Wei is away from the sau, Huanghuang Xuanyuan, digging thousands of feet of ground, deep heavenly curtain, shallow world, full of green smoke. ”
"The wind gently blows your blue clothes, like green smoke, and blows my heart like a book, like a page, and the white spreads out, and begins to build your courtyard. Such a young man, the crown flutters, to my homeland. At the beginning of spring and autumn, the boat has gone away, time is half-open, hanging the half-hidden curtain outside the cabin; ”
"How can it be written in a woman's tone, Granny Liu herself?"
Li Dashi smiled bitterly and said: "Maybe, her husband taught her to read and write, hey, love is not a good thing, sometimes it is really harmful." With that, the two looked at each other, and fell silent, each thinking about their own thoughts. After about half a burnt incense, seeing that the master was free, Li Dashi went over and said this.
Yan Zhenbei pondered for a moment and said, "Let her be, this may be a relief." ”
Fang Zheng and Yan Zhenbei discussed the countermeasures condensed into two words called "night walking", that is, to escape, and run away with the whole Fang. Those who don't escape have a bag in their brains, and tens of thousands of regular government troops will collapse when they say they will collapse, and the more than 300 people in the osmanthus flower workshop who have never been on the battlefield can be of any use.
Time is pressing, but there is no need to panic, the location of Osmanthus Fang is close to the east gate, only less than two miles away from the city gate.
After the barbarians broke the city by surprise attack, it was difficult to control the whole city for a while, at least the Yunmeng army still controlled the east gate and the south gate, even in the west gate and the north gate that were breached, there were still many well-formed troops, under the command of the officers, retreated in the alleys and alleys to resist to the death, and it was a capital crime to lose a big city if the defense was not effective.
No matter how fierce the barbarian battle is, it will take a lot of time to level them one by one, and there are many cases in history of local resistance for a day or two or more after breaking the city.
As the capital of one of the eight states of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Xiangzhou had a population of more than 800,000. The east gate is not a chaotic one that can be described now, densely packed with people huddled together and fighting to get out of the city, and the soldiers who maintain order are squeezed around, people are crowded, people are trampled, and both adults and children are trampled on and cry wolves.
Almost as wide as the city gate is, the queue out of the city is as wide as possible, and everyone is crammed together, which seriously delays the speed of leaving the city. Coupled with the crowds of people coming out of the alleys one after another, the queue out of the city became more and more bloated, and everyone was afraid that the barbarian soldiers would kill them, so they all squeezed forward with all their strength. Some people's shoes were trampled off, some people were separated from their relatives, calling their fathers and grandma, a post-apocalyptic situation.
In the next few hours, more than 100,000 people will have to escape through this gate, and if it continues like this, there will be no hope for a day or two, let alone a few hours.
A captain on the city wall drew his sword and shouted, and a group of 200 soldiers followed him with guns.
"Queue up, otherwise there will be no eyes. The soldiers shouted in unison, and the bright guns flashed towards the crowd, and another hundred big men in the army held leather whips in their hands, and they drew when they saw people, and more than 100 soldiers who maintained order also drew their waist knives and threatened those who squeezed in front of them to line up. The murderous and vicious appearance of the soldiers frightened countless people, and everyone cried and retreated, and in just ten minutes, the bloated crowd suddenly lost half of their weight and slowly returned to order.
In the midst of the chaotic flow of people, a neat contingent of refugees suddenly came .......
This team is full of men to open the way, in the middle are old and young women and children, there are strong men in the back, and there are people in the front and back to whistle to remind the location of the large army, in case someone is scattered and lost. This is a fugitive team composed of residents of Guihuafang, marching in an orderly manner under the command of Yan Zhenbei.
The sky was bright, and the sun shone on the plains outside the east gate for hundreds of miles, and also on everything in the whole world.
The people of Osmanthus Fang walked to a small river to rest, they went out of the city gate, did not choose to go with the large army, and chose the smallest road at the three-fork intersection at fifteen miles. Some people have chosen to take refuge with relatives and friends, and now there are less than 1,000 people, and more than 150 armed and young people. When we arrived at the river, the small beach was already crowded with refugees, everyone was drinking water and resting, and they were too tired to flee for at least two hours.
"Here, senior brother, wipe your face. Yan Yanping twisted a sweat towel soaked in water and handed it to Li Dashi.
"I want it too, senior sister, not to be partial. Shi Kewei screamed.
"Daddy and senior brother have it, but you don't. Yan Yanping looked at Shi Keqi with a smile, and still held a sweat towel in her hand, throwing it from her left hand to her right hand, and then from her right hand to her left hand.
"I'm angry. ”
"You're born, I'll see if you're angry and you're a tiger or a bear. ”
"Hey, forget it, only women and villains are difficult to raise, I won't give birth, you can give birth. ”
"Okay, then I'll be ....... Speaking of this, Yan Yanping suddenly stopped her mouth, realized that she had fallen into the pit, a trace of blush flew on her face, slapped Shi Keqi, and said hatefully: "Stinky junior brother, you are the worst, I will tell my father to go." ”
"Don't, don't, I was wrong, senior sister, look at a group of men over there, wow, there's a beautiful man. Shi Keqi pointed to the road and squeezed his eyes.
Yan Yanping didn't look in the direction he pointed, stomped her foot and said, "Talking nonsense again, senior brother, come and help me beat my junior brother." Li Dashi smiled, showed his white teeth, rolled up his sleeves, and helped an old man fetch water.
"It hurts, senior sister, how can you beat people in a good manner, really, I'm going to be beaten to death. Shi Keqi clutched his stomach and said.
Yan Yanping has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and she can't always be like a little woman, she is not soft when she should act, just now she punched Shi Keqi in the abdomen.
"I deserve to make fun of me. ”
"Help, it hurts me to death, my intestines seem to be broken, senior sister, how can you ignore me, my intestines were broken by you. ”
Yan Yanping leaned sideways and put her right hand to her ear, as if listening to something.
"Senior sister, I have a broken liver and intestines......" Before Shi Keqi finished speaking, Yan Yanping interrupted: "Take it to feed the dogs, don't make noise, junior brother, it seems that someone is calling for help." ”
"Is it me shouting so well" Shi Keqi was slightly bored in his defense, and then he was stunned, someone really shouted for help, and the faint sound of the wind coming over was soon inaudible.
This area is relatively desolate, overgrown with weeds, and there are many low weeds in the crevices of the smooth rocks on the main road. Desolation is sometimes better than prosperity, and the higher the probability of avoiding military disasters in troubled times, which is why Yan Zhenbei chose this road.
A few houses were dotted in the wide field, and the cries for help seemed to come from one of them.
The houses were about three miles from the river, and the two decided to go over to have a look, first report to Yan Zhenbei, and after getting permission, set out on the dirt path that was a foot wide.
The intermittent sound of help became clear, like a woman's voice, and the two followed the sound, and after a while, they came to the side of the house where the sound came from, and what caught their eyes was a human Shura field.
There is an empty flat outside this two-story house, and half of the top is dyed red, and there are more than a dozen corpses piled up in the corner of the flat, these corpses are old and young, even if the clothes are dyed crimson, they can still be distinguished from all civilian clothing styles.
Who is so cruel? The two of them felt like their chests were going to explode.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, four people carrying Pu knives walked out of the room, and saw that there were two young men and women, and the women were like flowers and jade, and the original fierce posture suddenly relaxed a lot. Someone winked, and several people surrounded the two.
It was a group of routs, disheveled armor, loose leggings, and crooked helmets, all silently indicating their current identity.
"Haha, I'm so lucky, there are even beautiful women sent to the door, feed the brothers in the house to have a few looks, this kind of goods is not common. One soldier laughed lewdly, and three more soldiers came out with a lewd smile in their coats.
"What do you want, you killed these innocent people. Yan Yanping pretended to be panicked and said, seeing these people, the two of them understood eight or nine points in their hearts, and now they asked a superfluous question, just to confirm it.
"What are you doing, beauty, I want to treat you to chicken ......"
The mutation protruded, and the ruffian was swept away in the air before he finished speaking. "Wow, little lady Pi Darre!" a soldier raised his knife and slashed down. Yan Yanping kicked him on the wrist, and then raised his chin to kick him. With a "click" sound, the jaw bone has been broken, and he was hit hard, and his subconscious exhalation pain was unable to make a sound as his mouth was blocked by broken bones, his throat hissed, and countless blood foams appeared from the corners of his mouth.
That Shi Keqi snatched a simple knife, and he was even more ruthless, chopping and chopping, and when he met his soldiers, he was either dead or disabled. Hearing the sound of a fight outside, two more people rushed out of the house, and they were instantly put down by Shi Keqi. There were nine people lying on the ground, six dead, three fainting from serious injuries, and these three only had their hands and feet twitching from time to time to distinguish the dead.
