341: Hatred is as deep as the sea
Qinghe Water City, southwest of the city. In an ordinary street, in an ordinary house. Qu Laohan curled up and sat on the floor with his knees folded in a daze, for three days and three nights, the water and rice had not entered, and he had not closed his eyes half a time.
Qu Laohan is called Qu Taiping. It's over fifty this year. As his name suggests, the biggest ideal in his life is that his wife lives peacefully.
He got up early and worked late, worked hard for decades, and finally married a wife, had children, and started a family. Seeing that even his son has married his wife back and gave birth to a big fat grandson. Qu Laohan is satisfied with his life, and he has no more pursuits.
However, just half a month ago, there were waves on the flat ground, and thunderbolts were born on a sunny day. The army of the fierce ancient barbarians actually fell from the sky and broke through the Qinghe Water City in one fell swoop, beating Qu Laohan's happy and peaceful life to pieces.
And it came to pass on that day, that the heavens fell, and the earth fell. Qu Laohan, who was setting up a stall as always, didn't even want anything at home, so he pulled his wife and fled home desperately as soon as possible. However, when he was about to get home, a fierce ancient barbarian suddenly popped out of the alley next to him, smiling and riding a horse and rushing over, and couldn't help but say, raising his hand was a knife.
At that moment, Old Man Qu was completely stunned. Fortunately, even if his wife rushed over and pushed him. Qu Laohan fell to the ground and rolled the gourd, and then he escaped death. However, the knife that was supposed to cut him was cut at his wife.
Qu Laohan will never forget. At that moment, the red blood spurted out like a spring, spilling everywhere. The old wife's head fell from his neck, and he rolled to the feet of the old man. There was no pain on the face of the human head, but there was an indescribable happiness.
Old Man Qu trembled and picked up his head and rushed towards the fierce ancient barbarian. It's not that you want to be desperate. In his life, Qu Laohan never dared to fight with others. He just wanted to let the barbarian cut himself with a knife, a hundred.
Who knows, the fierce ancient barbarian just laughed wildly a few times, and then rode away without looking back. At the same time, it also took away a little courage that Qu Laohan had finally mustered.
Qu Laohan lost his soul and returned home with his wife's head. It was found that his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson had returned. The family didn't even dare to go out and pick up the body, so they hurriedly dug a pit in the house and buried the head. Then he hugged his head and cried. But he desperately covered his mouth, for fear that the cry would spread and alarm those fierce and vicious, wolf-like and tiger-like fierce ancient barbarians.
After the initial chaos has passed, the nightmare has just begun.
The fierce ancient barbarians slammed the door from house to house, asking for everything. Grain, cloth, copper coins, jewelry...... It's like a pack of hungry wolves. But it can't be helped. At this time, even if you steal a life, it is still a life. Being able to survive is better than anything else.
So Qu Laohan did not hesitate, they gave whatever they wanted. Even, without waiting for the fierce ancient barbarian to speak, he took the initiative to move all the slightly valuable things in the house out of the door.
However, the greedy hungry wolf will never feel satisfied. They will only be insatiable and demand more and more. Finally, on the night of three days ago, a group of drunken fierce ancient barbarians came to the door again, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, they were going to take Qu Laohan's daughter-in-law away.
Qu Laohan still wants to endure it anymore. But his son couldn't bear it anymore. In a fit of rage, he picked up his rolling pin and wanted to fight with the ancient barbarians.
Desperately, you have to talk about qualifications. There is no doubt that this young man, who is not even a "martial artist", has no qualifications to fight hard in the face of the fierce ancient barbarian soldiers.
A knife. It's another simple and straightforward cut. A young man who was originally good was immediately cut in half from head to toe and died on the spot.
Qu Laohan was stunned, his daughter-in-law was crazy, still in her mother's arms, and the one-year-old little doll was also crying.
The crying really irritated this group of fierce ancient barbarians. So, impatiently, they reached out and grabbed the little doll and slammed it to the ground. The little doll immediately burst out, and sure enough, she would never cry again. Then, the group of beasts laughed wildly, grabbed their daughter-in-law and walked out, leaving Qu Laohan and the two corpses in the empty house.
Listening to his daughter-in-law's crying and struggling gradually faded away, Qu Laohan also seemed to have been drained of all the strength in his body, and sat on the ground limp and paralyzed. From this time on, for three days and three nights, he did not make any movement, just sat here and stared at the two corpses of his son and grandson.
For three days, the corpse gradually deteriorated to the point of stinking. Countless flies flew over, gathered on the carcass and feasted, then laid eggs, which hatched into maggots. Countless fat and white maggots burrowed in and out of the corpse. This scene is not only terrifying and weird, but also disgusting and difficult to look at.
But Qu Laohan was completely numb. Although, he still has breathing and a heartbeat. But in fact, now he is just a dead man. His blood, at the very moment when his son and grandson died, completely lost all temperature. Even if I wanted to cry, my dry eyes could no longer shed half a tear.
The wife, son, grandson, and daughter-in-law are all gone. The whole world outside has nothing to do with Qu Laohan anymore. No matter what movement happened outside, no matter how big the movement was, Qu Laohan didn't care anymore.
However, although Qu Laohan rejected the world. But the world has not rejected him.
The movement is getting louder. All kinds of shouting, cursing, shouting, screaming, wailing, begging for mercy, and the sound of weapons clashing were incessant. Suddenly, only a loud "boom~" was heard, and the entire wall of the room was smashed. Several burly figures, accompanied by a large number of broken bricks and stones, fell hard in front of Qu Laohan with a thunderous momentum.
These people are all fierce ancient barbarians! Suddenly, the old man Qu, who was already numb, subconsciously shuddered. Trying harder to keep his legs, trying to curl himself up into smaller balls.
However, in the next moment, Qu Laohan's expression changed one hundred and eighty degrees. The eyes, which had not been closed for three days, suddenly blinked vigorously. He used all the strength he had to stare at the figures in front of him.
He has a big pie face, triangular eyes, and a full beard, plus he wears a fur hat and leather armor. There's nothing wrong, there's nothing wrong, these are all genuine fierce ancient barbarians. In any way, they are exactly the same as the barbarians who killed Qu Laohan's family.
But...... How is it possible? These creatures in front of me, covered in blood and dying with breath, who live like dead dogs, are actually like those demons who give people a nightmare-like feeling, who are arrogant, evil, fierce, hideous, and invincible, who completely regard human life as a mustard, and even take pleasure in killing...... Is it the same being?
Qu Laohan couldn't believe it. Even he was suspicious of his own eyes. Trembling, he wanted to crawl over and reach out to touch it to confirm. But the body did not listen to the command, and could not move no matter what.
At that moment, several more figures strode into the room while cursing loudly. Listening to the voices, they turned out to be ...... Are they all local Dahao people in northern Xinjiang?
Before Qu Laohan could figure out what was going on. I saw that those Dahao people actually reached out and grabbed a fierce ancient barbarian, lifted the knife, and couldn't help but say, it was a knife!
The knife rises and falls, crisp and neat. As the short screams rang out, the dust settled. The Dahao soldiers were about to leave happily with their heads in their hands. Suddenly, I glanced at it and saw that there seemed to be someone in the corner of the room.
"Few, a few masters. Excuse me...... I asked. This is...... What's going on?"
Several soldiers were stunned and stood still. Seeing the appearance of the old man Qu clearly, he glanced around the room a few times. Everyone knows what happened here before.
A soldier hurriedly stepped forward to support the old man. comforted: "Uncle, you don't have to panic. We are the army of the imperial court. The imperial court knew that the Menggu barbarians were coming to the northern frontier, so they sent His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince to the northern frontier to lead us to fight this group of barbarians. ”
"The court and the court still remember us? The Fourteenth Prince...... Your Highness?" the old man trembled and repeated several times. Between the eyebrows, there is an unbelievable look.
Another soldier also stepped forward to comfort him: "Uncle, when this group of thieves and barbarians came over before, your family also suffered a crime, right? His Royal Highness the Fourteenth Prince has already avenged us.
Now the entire Qingheshui county has been captured by the army led by His Highness the Fourteenth. Those thieves and barbarians who have plagued our Dahao people, everyone has to pay for their blood debts, and none of them want to run away. ”
"Your Highness the Fourteenth...... Fourteenth Highness...... Fourteenth Highness, ahhh~~"
Suddenly, Qu Laohan completely collapsed. He "pounced~" and knelt down, beat his chest and feet, and howled heartbreakingly: "Your Highness Fourteen, you are late! Why? Why didn't you come a few days earlier! My poor wife, my son, my grandson, and my bitter daughter-in-law. Your Highness Fourteen, if you come a few days earlier, they don't have to die, they don't have to die~~"
Although, Qu Laohan's reproachful remarks are really unreasonable. But in the midst of his loud crying, the hearts of the soldiers of the Wuchuan New Army around him became extremely heavy. After thinking about it, everyone can't help but feel sorry for it. For a while, no one spoke again.
After crying for a long time, it was not easy for Qu Laohan to hold back his tears. He staggered to his feet. With a hoarse voice, he asked vigorously, "Where is His Highness the Fourteenth? I want to see His Highness the Fourteenth!"
All the soldiers were startled, and hurriedly asked, "Old man, what do you want to see His Highness the Fourteenth?"
"What for? not to do. If you want to do one thing, take revenge!"
Qu Laohan's eyes burned with the flames of hatred, he gritted his teeth, and screamed hoarsely: "I want to sign up for the army." Go to the battlefield and kill the barbarians! Even if I fight for this old life, I will at least cut back four heads with my own hands to avenge my wife, son, grandson, and daughter-in-law! The thief who kills a thousand knives, the thief who deserves to go to hell, even if I die, I will pull you to cushion your back!"
