Chapter 244: The Cruelty of War
"Iron Bull, there seems to be a village in front of you. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Yang Sisi stretched out her finger and pointed ahead, and said excitedly.
"Got it!" Lin Yun replied weakly.
After a mental struggle, Lin Yun finally did not destroy the flowers with his spicy hands, but still brought Yang Sisi.
Along the way, Yang Sisi was like a curious baby, very curious about everything around him, and even very curious to see those four seasons of Changchun and four seasons trees full of wild fruits.
Compared with Yang Sisi's curiosity, Lin Yun is weak, with Yang Sisi by his side, Lin Yun can't perform Daoxuan footwork, he can only walk as usual, fortunately, Yang Sisi is young and energetic, young and active, and his speed is not slow.
"Why do you look like a bitter gourd face!" Yang Sisi, who had picked a wildflower in front of her, looked back at Lin Yun and said with a small mouth.
"Hmph, your eye saw my bitter gourd face. Lin Yun snorted lightly, he was indeed a bitter gourd face now, but he couldn't see it under the mask.
"Well, this girl sees both eyes. Yang Sisi also learned from Lin Yun and snorted lightly, Qiong's nose wrinkled, and then ignored Lin Yun and continued to pick wildflowers in front.
At this moment, Lin Yun was like a nanny, looking at Yang Sisi who was jumping in front of her, her face showed helplessness, but gradually, Lin Yun was not depressed, looking at this innocent and kind girl along the way, it suddenly made Lin Yun feel that she had become younger, and her heart was purified.
"Wait!" Just as the two of them were about to walk all the way to the small mountain village in front, Lin Yun suddenly frowned, sniffed lightly in front of him with his nose, and seemed to sense something different.
"What's wrong?" Yang Sisi looked at Lin Yun suspiciously.
"It's nothing!" Although Lin Yun didn't say anything, his heart began to become alert, and the divine sense that originally shrouded his body was expanded to twenty zhang by him, at this distance, if there was any accident, he could have enough time to react.
"Suspicious and suspicious!" Yang Sisi pursed her mouth slightly, and continued to play around as she walked, obviously not taking Lin Yun's suspicion just now to heart.
"That's not right!" The more he walked towards the small village, the more clearly Lin Yun smelled a strong smell of blood, but Lin Yun didn't show it, but was secretly careful in his heart.
After a cup of tea, the two of them had come to the outskirts of the small village, and at this time they could clearly see the situation of the small village, the whole small village was in shambles, and the smell of blood and rancid smell was everywhere.
Lin Yun walked slowly towards the small village, just now he had already swept it with his divine sense, the entire small village was empty, not even a chicken, Yang Sisi saw Lin Yun walk into the small village, his whole body trembled, and quickly followed, now even if the nerves are in the big bar, he can feel the abnormality of the small village.
As the two walked into the small village, the scene in front of them stunned both of them, Lin Yun was okay, he was used to seeing life and death, but Yang Sisi was ugly, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
The small village was littered with corpses, which were rotting and crawling with white maggots, and bursts of putrid stench emanated from the rotting corpses, and Yang Sisi couldn't help but vomit when she saw the white wriggling maggots coming out of the eyes of the rotting corpses.
On the eaves of the village, there were corpses that had been pierced through the roof of the mouth with an iron hook and then hung up like fishing, and the faintly distorted faces of these people showed that they were not hung after death, but alive.
These corpses hanging on the eaves of the house, swaying in the wind, dangling in the air, like resentful ghosts, fluttering in the air and unable to disperse for a long time. The corpse water from the decomposing corpse fell on the ground below, drop by drop, like the ticking sound of rain falling from the eaves, but the sound sounded extremely harsh.
Walking forward, there was a well, from the well came out of the foul smell, countless maggots crawled out of the well, Lin Yun walked to the side of the well, held his breath, and looked, it was already stuffed with corpses, these corpses were seriously decomposed, and the corpse water and well water were completely mixed together, completely polluting the water source here.
Further on, there is a bamboo forest, in which the slightly thicker bamboos have been cut obliquely with sharp machetes to form sharp bamboo poles, and on these bamboo poles are babies of various ages, the youngest of whom is only half a year old, and the oldest is three years old.
Next to the bamboo forest, there was a corpse, a pregnant woman about six months pregnant, her belly had been cut open alive, and the baby that had not yet fully formed was taken out, and the pregnant woman's face was highly decomposed, but her twisted and deformed face could be seen.
The baby was inserted from the belly with a sharpened bamboo pole and nailed to the ground, and between the baby and the mother, there was an umbilical cord connected together, but this umbilical cord had completely dried and decayed, and it was close to the ground, forming a blood line.
There is a big house next to the bamboo forest, the door of the house has been opened, a gust of wind blows, the open wooden door moves with the wind, making a "creaking" sound, through the sunlight shining into the house, you can see more than a dozen naked women lying inside, their white bodies are so dazzling.
"They are beasts, no, they are not even as good as beasts!" Yang Sisi couldn't help but see this scene, and roared hysterically, when had she ever seen such a scene.
"Let's go!" This time Lin Yun didn't answer, just said lightly, there are too many villages like this, Muyu City has been surrounded by Yunmeng's army for a long time, and all the villages around Muyu City have been slaughtered.
After speaking, he walked to the outside of the village by himself, for the cruelty of the Yunmeng soldiers, there are records in various classics, and there are many records, but the record and the person who has seen it are completely different things, the classics just say that the Yunmeng army likes to slaughter the city, and where they pass, the chickens and dogs are not left.
These words are in almost every classic, and anyone who reads in the Great Zhou knows that they can see it when they read the classics since they were children, but after reading it for a long time, they became numb, and even when they saw the word slaughter, they felt bland, and they didn't feel the smell of blood contained in it, and they couldn't feel the cruelty in the war and the misfortune of the people.
Lin Yun walked out of the village, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his heart, and suddenly felt a lot better, although there was still a faint smell of blood, but there were no more rotting corpses all over the ground, at this moment, Lin Yun finally understood why some saints would say that human history is a history of blood and tears.
I also understand the meaning of the phrase "the reason why man is different from beasts".
People who have been civilized for tens of thousands of years, who are gentle and frugal in peacetime, in war, where there are no constraints, reveal their true faces, how fierce and terrible they are, even surpassing wild beasts.
It has to be said that any war is cruel!
